After leaving Miraki's place, Jiang Fei followed the Quest Map and headed south. After about two hours, he finally arrived at the location marked on the Quest Map.
"Damn!" For the first time, Jiang Fei felt that the Skygliding Dragon was a trap.
It was not that Miraki did not prepare a mount for Jiang Fei when they left the Governor's Mansion. She had a mount that could be used underwater. However, Jiang Fei's Evol. Skygliding Dragon had inherited the Juvenile Skygliding Dragon's Ancient Legacy, so he could not use other mounts other than the Skygliding Dragon.
Therefore, since he could not summon the Skygliding Dragon, Jiang Fei could only walk around on his two feet.
Fortunately, the trench where the bandits resided was not far from Miraki's city. Although Jiang Fei had to walk on his two feet, he finally reached the edge of the trench after two hours.
Looking down from the edge of the trench, he saw shacks made of seaweed everywhere. There were many Oceanic races here, but they looked like they were in rags. They were completely different from the Oceanic race NPCs in the city.
"Are these people bandits? They don't look like it! "Jiang Fei muttered to himself.
"Who are you?" Just as Jiang Fei was observing the situation in the trench, he suddenly heard a timid voice beside him.
"Hmm?" Jiang Fei turned around and saw a small head poking out from behind a reef not far behind him.
"Who are you?" Jiang Fei asked.
"I'm Crawler!" The small head walked out from behind the reef. Jiang Fei finally saw the creature's full appearance.
It was a very strange Oceanic race. It was only about forty centimeters tall and carried a large conch shell on its back. Its neck was very long and it looked very similar to a snail.
Crawler (Humanoid, Normal)
Level: 40
Health Points: 100%
Remarks: Low-tier Oceanic race.
Jiang Fei looked at the Oceanic race called Crawler. This guy's level was very low. It was not a threat to Jiang Fei at all.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Fei asked.
"This is my home!" Crawler saw that Jiang Fei did not have any intention of hurting him, so he walked over boldly.
"Your home? Are you also a bandit? "Jiang Fei asked.
"Bandit?!" Crawler was stunned at first, then he took two steps back and asked Jiang Fei, "Are you sent by the city to kill us?"
"Hmm?" Jiang Fei was stunned. That was indeed the quest he had accepted. However, Crawly and the people living in the slums did not look like bandits at all!
"Oh no! The people from the city are here again! " As expected, Jiang Fei's momentary daze had frightened Crawler. He practically rolled and crawled into the trench. At the same time, he shouted loudly as he ran!
"Everyone, run! The people in the city are here to kill us! "
"Run! Don't worry about the food. Your life is more important!"
…
Along with the screams, the trench became chaotic. Countless Merfolk in ragged clothes rushed out of the slums made of seaweed. These people supported each other and ran towards the other end of the trench.
"What happened?" This time, Jiang Fei was completely dumbfounded. He had come here alone. If this was a group of bandits, they would at least fight him. Why did they start running away as soon as they heard that someone was coming?
With doubts in his heart, Jiang Fei entered the trench. As soon as he entered, Jiang Fei smelled something bad. Like all the slums, this place was the epitome of filth. Dirty water flowed everywhere, and food was placed not far from the feces. The sanitary conditions were appalling.
Jiang Fei observed the Merfolk who were running away. He found that very few of them were above Level 70. Some of them were only Level 40 or Level 50. Moreover, there were almost no Elite monsters. These Merfolk were basically normal monsters!
"How can they be called bandits? They are too weak. Even if the NPCs in the city came, they would not be able to defeat them." Jiang Fei muttered to himself. Wasn't it the same as asking a mouse to rob a lion?
"Could it be that I'm in the wrong place?" Jiang Fei carefully looked at the quest map again. According to the map, he was indeed in the right place!
"What the hell is going on?" Jiang Fei frowned and muttered to himself.
"Sob sob sob …" Just as Jiang Fei was puzzled, he suddenly heard a soft sobbing sound. It sounded like the person was extremely afraid. It seemed like the person was covering his mouth to not make a sound. However, due to the extreme pain, he could not stop crying!
Jiang Fei followed the sound of the sobbing and found the person hiding in the corner crying. It was Crawler!
At that moment, one of Crawler's feet was crushed by a collapsed shack. Hence, he was crying in pain. However, as he was afraid of attracting Jiang Fei's attention, he covered his mouth tightly with his small hands.
"Don't kill me, please, don't kill me …" When Crawler saw that Jiang Fei had discovered him, he immediately cried and begged for mercy.
"What the hell is going on?" Jiang Fei pushed the shack that was crushing Crawler away. As Crawler was only about 40 centimeters tall, the shack that was crushing him was not that heavy to Jiang Fei.
"Please, please don't kill me. I'm still young. I don't want to die …" Crawler cried.
"When did I say that I wanted to kill you?" Jiang Fei was confused.
"Eh?" Crawler was surprised at first, then he asked timidly, "Are you not from the city?"
"Yes, I am from Jindi City over there!" Jiang Fei nodded and said.
"Ah! You really are here to kill us! Sob sob … I don't want to die! "When Crawler heard that Jiang Fei was indeed from the city, he cried even louder.
"If you cry again, I will kill you right now!" Jiang Fei was really annoyed by the little fellow's crying!
"Err …" Jiang Fei's threat was really effective. Crawler immediately stopped crying.
"Tell me, why are you so afraid of city people? If you dare to lie to me, I will kill you right now!" Jiang Fei pretended to be fierce and said.
"Oh! Oh! "Crawler was so scared that he shrank into the corner of the wall. Then, he told Jiang Fei the whole story.
It turned out that Crawler and the other Seafolk that lived in the trench were the lowest of the Seafolk. Their combat power was extremely low and could not be compared to the other Seafolk at all. However, they had another advantage, and that was their extremely strong reproductive ability.
To the Naga Tribe, such a group of useless but super fertile fellows were definitely a burden. Moreover, these fellows reproduced too quickly. It was very easy for them to eat up all the food in the sea. Therefore, the high-level Seafolk regarded them as bandits, thinking that they were wantonly plundering the resources of the sea.
Therefore, every once in a while, the high-ranking members of the Sea Clan living in the city would move out and slaughter the low-ranking members of the Sea Clan on a large scale. This was to reduce their numbers and prevent the entire sea region from being eaten by them!
"Sigh …" Jiang Fei sighed. There was no right or wrong in this matter.
As these low-level Seafolk were weak, in order to survive, they could only risk their lives to give birth. This way, if some of them were killed by their prey during a hunt, it would not lead to the extinction of the entire race.
However, their reckless reproduction led to the survival resources of the other Seafolk being occupied. In order to survive, the high-level Seafolk would definitely have to reduce the number of these low-level Seafolk. In a situation where there was no better way, they could only kill these low-level Seafolk.
"Damn it, what the hell is this?" Jiang Fei sighed. It was a little difficult for him to kill these defenseless refugees. However, if he did not do anything, even if he did not care about whether he could complete the mission or not, the other high-level Seafolk would still come and kill them. Otherwise, there would be no food for everyone in the end!
"Damn it? Do you want me to promote family planning to these low-level Seafolk?! "In the end, Jiang Fei had no choice but to say such words.
