Lin Xiao, the leader, did not say anything. Naturally, the spawns acted according to their instincts. The two groups of murlocs chatted and started chatting.
The grey mist murloc who spoke first was quite intelligent. He did not give any hints, but he also wanted to ask a lot of questions in his chat with this native murloc.
Most of the questions were nonsense, but a few of them were very good. Lin Xiao secretly gave him a thumbs-up when he heard them.
Through some random chatter, he also collected a lot of interesting information.
Murlocs had limited intelligence and did not have the awareness of anti-reconnaissance. Basically, they would answer all the questions that they could.
This did not mean that they could not say anything, but that the wild murlocs only had this bit of intelligence. They did not know how to answer a lot of questions.
After talking for about half an hour, the native murlocs stopped chatting. They brought two to three thousand of their subordinates to the coral reefs on the island to fish for kelp. This was their food.
Lin Xiao watched the thousands of murlocs leave just like that. He pressed his scaly hand on his ugly chin, which was also covered in scales, and rubbed it until it creaked.
He felt that he might have to change his train of thought.
His previous train of thought was very simple: kill all the way.
Now, he felt that it was unnecessary. Although the mission required him to destroy this tribe of about twenty thousand murlocs, killing them all was a kind of destruction. If he could subdue this tribe of murlocs, it was also a kind of destruction. There was no limit to killing them all.
If he could subdue this tribe of murlocs …
His eyes were shining, and his thoughts were active.
If, or rather if, he could subdue this tribe of wild murlocs from another plane and take these twenty thousand murlocs under his command, then his strength would definitely increase greatly.
In that case, the remaining three missions could be completed easily. Moreover, he had enough strength to try to complete those difficult missions with a score of 90 and above.
There were a few difficult missions with a score of 90 and above near this sea area. The rewards were very generous. However, he was not strong enough before and did not even think about it. If he could subdue these twenty thousand murlocs, then he could try to do it.
The rewards of the difficult missions were much better than these few missions, whether it was the physical rewards, the ranking, or the individual rewards.
As long as he completed one, he would definitely be in the top five of his grade in this final exam.
He pinched his chin hard and vaguely made a decision.
He waved his hand and greeted the indigenous murlocs who were harvesting kelp not far away. Then, he left with his subordinates.
Thinking along the way, when he returned to the temporary tribe, he already had a simple plan in his mind.
First, he sent a few Naga with a group of fishmen and some food to visit the aboriginal fishmen tribe.
There was only one purpose, which was to show their existence and tell them that there was a new small merfolk tribe not far to the north of the merfolk tribe.
After that, the remaining Fishmen were sent out to explore the surroundings, mainly to the north and the depths of the sea in the east, looking for fixed food resources. They hunted large amounts of fish and other food, and every once in a while, they would bring some food to visit.
The focus was on food. Every visit would bring a certain amount of food and other gifts.
As the saying goes, if you eat someone's food, your mouth will be soft. Every time they came, they would bring food. Naturally, the aboriginal merfolk would have a good impression of them.
Every time he went, Lin Xiao would repeatedly urge his subordinates to investigate the situation of the large merfolk tribe in addition to their regular visits.
He gave the clever little merfolk the name 'Gru' and promoted him to be the leader of the merfolk mission. Every time, he would personally instruct him what to do.
The intelligence of the merfolk was too limited. It was rare to meet someone who was smarter than the other merfolk. He was ready to train him well.
The mission was basically twice a month. During this period, he would personally go out with his subordinates to hunt the surrounding fish, as well as some sea beasts that were a threat to the merfolk, such as sharks, sea lizards, sea spirits, or some crocodiles that lived around the island.
Occasionally, they would encounter some lobstermen, but they were all eaten by the merfolk or Naga as snacks.
Unfortunately, after wandering around for a long time, he still didn't see the lobstermen's nest. He still hadn't forgotten the delicious taste of lobstermen. He had to catch some and put them into the divine realm to raise.
After that, he simply gave up and let Gru ask the aboriginal merfolk tribe when he went on a mission.
What made him complain was that although this merfolk tribe was very large and was under the rule of the Mermaid Empire, it was not developed at all. Not only did they only know a simple water tribe language, they didn't even have a name.
Although the scale of the tribe was quite large, because they were merfolk and located at the edge of the sea, their status in the Mermaid Empire was not high and they were not valued. Throughout the year, except for the emissaries from the Mermaid Empire who came to collect taxes and tributes, they had no contact with the Mermaid Empire.
Merfolk and merfolk seemed to be transposed from one to the other, but in fact, they were two completely different races.
One was like a standing fish, and the other was a mermaid with a human body and a fishtail.
Merfolk were the lowest species, and merfolk were the highest species.
It took Gru twice to communicate with the aboriginal merfolk to ask about the location of the lobstermen's nest.
It was actually in the south of the aboriginal merfolk tribe. No wonder they hadn't found it. They hadn't gone there to see.
Then Lin Xiao went there in person. Seven or eight kilometers south of the aboriginal merfolk tribe, he found a large lobstermen's nest with three or four thousand people. In the center of the two tribes, there was an estuary of a river. A large amount of nutrients flowed into the sea with the river water. Near the delta, seaweed was lush and there were many fish. For the two tribes, it was a natural hunting ground.
The two tribes had been fighting with each other for many years for this hunting ground, and there had been no clear winner.
The lobstermen's nest was in a complicated rocky seabed south of the river. The terrain was complicated, and the lobstermen had the terrain advantage. The merfolk tribe had been unable to do anything to them.
It was worth mentioning that this large lobstermen was actually a subordinate of the Mermaid Empire. They also had to pay tribute every year.
Like the merfolk tribe, they were not valued by the Mermaid Empire. Even if they were all destroyed, the Mermaid Empire would not pay attention to them.
After Lin Xiao spent a period of time observing, he sent out messengers to communicate with the merfolk tribe to jointly attack the lobstermen's tribe.
The merfolk tribe, who had long regarded the lobstermen as their mortal enemy, readily agreed. Both sides agreed on a date. Lin Xiao led his troops out of the nest, and both sides gathered near the estuary of the river.
He was out in full force, and so were the merfolk. Close to twenty thousand merfolk formed a dark mass.
The leader of the merfolk tribe was a level three merfolk tide caller. This was a merfolk warlock that could summon tides and water elements to aid in battle.
