The bottom of the sea was similar to the land. There were mountains, valleys, and plains. The inhabitants of the sea were no longer limited by water resources. As long as there was enough food, they would settle there.
Behind a hill, in a place where the sea was relatively calm, there was a strange farm. The man-made fence was connected to a huge net, forming a circle. But the inside was a mess. Only some fragments of kelp were left, and the corpses of the Seafolk were scattered all over the place.
The Demon King and Eva, who were passing by, looked at each other and felt that the situation was not good.
"Stop, Lan Lan."
Eva said to the strange fish, and it slowly stopped. The two of them swam to the farm.
These dead Seafolk were all wearing shabby clothes. They did not look like soldiers, but more like farmers here.
"Too much."
Eva covered her mouth, not daring to believe her eyes.
The Demon King looked around expressionlessly. He had seen this kind of scene too many times, so he did not feel anything. Suddenly, he found something that looked like a residence. It was a square building made of stone. The door had disappeared, leaving only the empty door frame.
"There are still people alive inside."
The Demon King said indifferently. Hearing this, Eva immediately looked at the house and swam over.
There was no way to burn building materials, so the people of the sea used stone to build their houses.
Eva poked her head into the dark house.
"Is there anyone here?"
There was no sound in the house. It was pitch black. Eva gathered her courage and swam in. The Demon King followed closely behind. Suddenly, Eva opened the window, and the inside suddenly became bright.
It was a mess. The empty cans were all gone, and the cabinets were in a mess. There were also some hair, fragments of clothes, and some unknown things floating in the sea, making people feel disgusted.
"Is there anyone here? Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. "
Eva asked again.
"How can a bad person say that they are a bad person?"
The Demon King said as he swam to an inconspicuous corner. There was a strange statue there. The Demon King grabbed the statue's body with one hand, and suddenly, with a bang, it was torn in half.
No, this was originally a container. The lower half of its body was actually a hole the size of a rice jar.
"Ah! Ahhh!! "
Suddenly, a frightened little ghost appeared in the statue. His face was very ugly, as pale as a sheet of white paper. He covered his ears and let out an ear-piercing scream. He curled up in the small space and shook exaggeratedly.
"It's okay, it's okay. You're safe now."
Eva comforted him from the side, but it was useless.
"Shut up."
The Demon King only said a few simple words, and the child immediately stopped shouting. He found that he couldn't make a sound at all.
"What did you do to him?"
Eva was a little astonished. She turned around and looked at the Demon King. The Demon King did not have any expression. He went forward and held the child's head. Immediately, the child's expression eased a lot.
"This is a sign of excessive shock. If you continue to provoke him, he might harm himself or attack you."
After the Demon King finished speaking, he retracted his hand. The child was still panting heavily, but he slowly calmed down and fell asleep.
"That's all I can do. Let's go."
"Wait! I want to save him. "
Eva suddenly said.
"You? How? "
The Demon King asked.
Eva frowned.
"I want to bring him back to the palace. At least, I want to arrange a job for him and make him an apprentice."
"Oh, naive thinking. Do you know what happened here?"
Hearing this, Eva gritted her teeth.
"I know. It was mother who did it."
"No, you know one thing. What I want to tell you is that there is more than one child like this."
The Demon King said, then grabbed her outside and swam to a high place. Immediately, he looked around and saw densely packed houses all over the plains.
"Do you understand now? This is not as simple as you said. You can save one or two, but thousands of them."
Hearing this, Eva opened her mouth wide, revealing a painful expression. She imagined the frightened faces of thousands of children, and suddenly felt powerless.
"Why would mother do such a thing?"
"This can be considered as killing the chicken to warn the monkey. With the power of the trident, she should be able to control these people, but she didn't do so. Either the trident's power is not as powerful as we think, or it can only control people within a certain range. So she wants to use other methods to control people's minds, such as displaying her strength. "
This is also a common method. For this naive princess, it should be unacceptable. However, the Demon King didn't care about her feelings. Perhaps one day, when she ascends the throne, she will also do such a thing.
Eva still wanted to take the child away, but the Demon King firmly refused. This time, he didn't want to bring another burden, so he kindly helped her.
"There must be survivors here, and there might be relatives of this kid. Let's go look for them."
The Demon King said this idea. Of course, before he spoke, he had already found it. In a cave at the bottom of the sea, there were hundreds of people hiding.
Under his purposeful guidance, Eva found the cave entrance.
Sure enough, hundreds of people were squeezed in a small cave entrance. That place was probably used to store food. Now that there were hundreds of people squeezed in, the water inside was very turbid, and no one dared to come out.
"Is there anyone inside?"
Eva didn't choose to go in, but shouted from the cave entrance.
"Shh! Don't make a sound. "
Immediately, a voice came out.
"I can hear your voice. Don't worry, I'm not your enemy."
Eva said again.
"It's over! We've been discovered! "
"What are you afraid of! Let's fight it out with them! "
Immediately, a few people holding scythes rushed out. When they saw a Sea Race girl around ten years old holding a little boy, they immediately relaxed their vigilance.
"Whose child are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"
The leader asked.
Eva shook her head and said, "I'm not from here. I just passed by here and found a little boy hiding in the house. I don't know if anyone knows him."
She handed the little boy over. The other party looked at him and began to discuss.
"Isn't that the child of Qiaoxi's family?"
"Ah! That's right. Did anyone escape here? "
"I didn't see him, the family of seven is …"
They began to discuss, and finally found someone who was related to the boy.
The leader was a Fishman in his fifties with a long beard. He bowed to Eva and said, "Thank you, little girl. This place is very dangerous. The army of the old capital kills without batting an eye. You should quickly escape, or hide here with us."
The other party said.
Eva shook her head, and after saying sorry, she left this place without looking back.
