"Wait," a fishman rushed up and blocked Zhang Cheng and Lai straight ahead. The eyes in the dark clearly expressed anger, but before this anger turned into danger, the fishman shouted. "Let's admit defeat."

Barbarians are not afraid of death, but they do not mean that they like to die. In fact, let alone barbarians, even irrational beasts are naturally afraid of injury and death.

"No!" Lai Zhi pushed away his companion angrily. He raised his fork and rushed forward. Zhang Cheng waved his sword and crossed the swords. His fork turned into two pieces like foam plastic. The long sword hovered in front of Lai Zhi's eyes, but it did not fall. He rushed towards the sword edge violently, but someone grabbed his body. Although he was Lai Yi, the person who came to get in the way was Lai Yi. Just as he had not yet broken free, more fishmen rushed up, hugged his body, and dragged away the sword.

"Wait, I know, you won..." Lai Zhi heard someone shouting. But more arms and bodies pressed him down, pressing him down so hard that he could not move. After a while, the forces that restricted his freedom retreated. Lai Zhi lay on the ground with his back on the sky, gasping for breath.

The figure of Zhu Xia, who claimed to be Zhang Cheng, appeared in front of him. The others had retreated, and now he was facing the Zhu Xia warrior alone. He had never expected that this guy was both a alchemist and a warrior. This situation... was completely beyond his imagination.

"Do you admit defeat?" the other party asked.

"You won!" Lai Zhi finally widened his eyes and then lowered his eyes. "I lost, let you deal with it."

The will in the dark seemed to be waiting for this answer.

The next moment, a strange will was imprinted on Zhang Cheng's mind. He instinctively understood that these fishmen were all his servants. From now on, they could not resist his orders. Unless he took the initiative to release them, he would be their master. This is actually a shackle of the mind. Of course, even the shackle of the mind is not omnipotent. While obtaining this power, he also instinctively understood that if the fish people left him for a long time, for about two or three days, their shackle of the mind would temporarily fail. Of course, you can't ask for more. This will in the dark has been done well enough.

Now, there are a lot of alien races on the ship and a lot of dejected Laiyi.

...

With the smooth flow, the speed of the ship was actually amazing.

According to the Dongyi merchants who came to Yingqiu before, it takes more than ten days to set off from Yingqiu to Guicheng. If it is a team that is not familiar with the road and is not fast, it is possible for more than twenty days. But in fact, it is not that slow to take a boat. In the morning, the boat can see Guicheng from afar. In fact, as long as this kind of inland flat-bottomed boat does not go out of the far sea, it is not a problem to walk near the sea.

Guicheng... The city in this location was originally called Maiqiuyi, a city of human beings. It once belonged to Dongyi (it was not clear which of the nine Yis), but was defeated by humans in the ancient Duke of Zhou in the Eastern Expedition. It is different from Yingqiu and is only considered a front-line position. Unfortunately, although Duke Zhou defeated Dongyi and seized a large area of ​​land, the Laiyi, which was ranked among the nine Yi, actually had nothing to do with the war, and of course there was no loss, and he would not think that humans were invincible. Although Maiqiuyi was good, it could not resist being too close to the sea. He was repeatedly attacked by Laiyi and eventually had to abandon it.

Now it seems that this city is located at the mouth of Daxi. Through the description of a group of people in Laizhi, Zhang Cheng already knows why Laiyi can live in a land city - because they dug a series of artificial rivers and channels, turning the entire Guicheng into a literal water city.

This is easy to understand for the people on earth, because there is such a water city on Venice on earth. Although Zhang Cheng has never been to, he has seen many pictures and videos. Guicheng was built according to this idea. This pattern can provide life for Laiyi on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can also accept other land races.

However, Zhang Cheng had learned from Lao Liu that Laiyi actually had no need for land at all. They could even live well in the sea alone. Humans built cities because of their own needs. The city could protect residents from foreign enemies. Laiyi had no enemy who could be called "foreign enemies". What's the matter, the sea water is more reliable than the city wall. So the key to this matter is not why they can build a city, but why they need to build a city. Do you really feel that the pace of progress of the times cannot be stopped, so you can follow the flow and move away from the barbaric era and enter civilization?

Unfortunately, although Laizhi and his group could tell the general situation of the two tourists about the return of the city, they could not explain why a group of Laiyi was so excited that they wanted to build a city. The only news that could be provided was that Donghaijun should be promoted behind this.

Donghaijun... Although this name reminds people of "Dragon of the East Sea", in fact, he is not a sea god, but just a great spirit. The sea god who currently controls the clergy of "Dragon Sea" is called Yu Guo. This god has never called himself "Dragon Sea Lord", but is generally called the East Sea God, or the East Sea God for short.

This world is also divided into four seas. Zhang Cheng now knows that there was only one sea god in the first place, Haotian's eldest son, and even the sea god whose name was lost. But this sea god is too powerful. After He was killed by the evil spirits and the void creatures, even Haotian could not give birth to a second child with the same authority and power again. Now the power of the sea god has been broken and occupied by many gods. For example, the sea area is now divided into four sea gods, southeast, west and north. What is surprising is that the person who currently holds the clergy of "South Sea" is not someone else, but the Fire God Zhurong, who is already very familiar to Zhang Cheng.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Zhang Cheng at the moment. His goal is very simple. First, come back to the city to take a look, do some business, inquire about the news about the Great Witch, and then visit Donghaijun. According to Xiaoxiong, Huang Xiong and Donghaijun are old acquaintances. Both are ancient spirits who have never been able to be a god. If Donghaijun can be persuaded to help participate in the god war, Xiaoxiong will reach an agreement and get the help of Taiyin Star Lord. In this way, all preparations for seizing the divine nature will be completed.

As for how to convince Donghaijun (even Zhang Cheng understands that this is not easy), Xiaoxiong seemed a little confident, at least he was obviously more or less sure in his words.

Before coming, both Zhang Cheng and Jiang Kao were actually ignorant of Guicheng's situation (although I heard some from Dongyi merchants, I cannot believe it all). What they knew was that Laiyi built a city here, allowing foreigners to come here to trade and sell. Currently, there are a large number of Dongyi specialties for sale in Guicheng. As for other situations in this city, both of them were confused and didn't know much.

But now the problem has been solved. Because Laizhi and the group of Laiyi actually came from the tribes near Guicheng.

Three tribes near Guicheng, gray algae, cyanobacteria and red algae (of course, they can also be called Fangguo). These three tribes form the periphery of Guicheng. Therefore, Guicheng was not built out of thin air. This was originally an area with a dense population of Laiyi (by the standards of Laiyi). These three tribes live here. The total population reaches more than 10,000 people. It is precisely because of this large population that Laiyi can build a city on land.

At present, there is no lord in Guicheng. Or it can be said that the current lord in Guicheng is vacant. The city is managed by a relatively complex institution. This institution can be simply understood as a "parliament", composed of a group of fishman nobles, leaders, witches, etc. This ruling institution is a very common thing on earth, but in this world, this is an unprecedented innovation. By the way, the leaders of the three tribes are all in the parliament and have a certain say.

Most of the population of Guicheng is Laiyi, but in the past few years since its founding, residents of other races have settled here. Most of these foreigners are Huaiyi and Fengyi. As for merchants, there are more. Basically, the entire Dongyi is very curious about Guicheng, and people from all races have come.

However, Zhuxia... Although Yingqiu and Guicheng are not too far away, there are no business trips in Zhuxia.

It is late winter and early spring. Even though the sun shines high, the coldness of the sea breeze is still strong. It cannot be said that the temperature is particularly low, but should be described as particularly high humidity, resulting in a "wet and cold" effect. This chilling chill is desperately drilling into the seams of your clothes.

The ship was moving straight towards Guicheng. According to the plan, they would anchor as close as possible to Guicheng. Then they entered Guicheng by walking. At this time, the wind was unfavorable and the sails on the ship had been unloaded early. However, the ship's speed was still astonishingly fast.

"Hey, slow down!" Jiang Hei stood on the deck and shouted condescendingly at the bottom. "We'll be here soon."

"I know, I know!" A Lai in the water replied slightly dissatisfied. "You land people are really troublesome!"

When you see these group of Laiyi, you will know why the ships are so fast. Because at this time a cable is connected in front of the ship, and the cable is cleverly mounted on the two killer whales. The two killer whales swim hard, and the fishman is urging them. Under the pull of the killer whales, splashes are constantly coming out of the edge of the ship. This speed has exceeded all the sailboats in this world.

The boats moved smoothly along the coast and stopped at the reservation. According to the people of Laizhi, there are actually various facilities inside the city. The construction level of the fishman may not be very good, and you cannot count on how many facilities there are in the hotel, but at least every outsider can get a place to spend a sum of money.

According to the plan, Zhang Cheng, Jiang Kao and others would stay here for at least one night. The ship will stop here temporarily. The ship does not need special force to protect it because it is very safe nearby. Lai made it clear that the regulations issued by Guicheng that within 30 miles of the surrounding area, Laiyi must not attack foreign races innocently. The three major tribes have emphasized discipline internally. Speaking of which, Laiyi is actually not good in the coastal areas, because they communicate with other Dongyi races from time to time, so their level of civilization is relatively high. Those who do not care about it

In fact, most of the people who prey on land creatures are far-sea tribes. Because of their backward economic and cultural background, Laiyi does not have much habit of robbing property - their focus is on eating people rather than being rich. For Laiyi, especially for barbarian tribes in the sea, it is actually a "thing that looks a bit fun". They may be carried because of curiosity, but it doesn't matter if they lose it. Therefore, there will be no thieves who will rob ships or other things.

In fact, for Lai Yi, only those magical items are what they value. Unfortunately, because of their physical appearance, most magical items of land races cannot be used by fishmen. Because of this objective reality, although the fishmen have poor technical skills in other aspects, they have made great achievements in the manufacturing of magical items. The magic bracelet on Lai Zhi's body was made by Lai Yi himself. By the way, this thing is too big. If Zhang Cheng wants to wear it, it is not called a bracelet, but a collar.

Without spending much time, Zhang Cheng and his group had already appeared under Guicheng City.

Although you have fully understood it before on the way, words and reality are different. At least when you look at this city, your first reaction is not "it's very solid here" or "it's very majestic here", but "unique". Yes, this city is very unique even by the standards of people on earth.

The entire Guicheng is located by the sea, but it is still a few kilometers away from the sea. The Laiyi and others dug out a wide river channel, which caused the sea water to flow back to Guicheng. Of course, it is a river for humans, but for fishmen, it is equivalent to a spacious road. The main urban area of ​​the entire city is simply floating on the water. The city has obviously carried out large-scale civil engineering projects. With the perspective of vision, some higher terrain positions have become islands and built houses for land races to live in. Lower terrain places have been further dug deeper and become underwater blocks where fishmen can enter and exit at will.

In the clear blue water, fishmen are entering and leaving. Above the water surface, there are small boats shuttle back and forth. In addition, the neat houses on the ground, and a large market composed of flat land... The water and underwater seem to be two worlds of reflection. However, water and underwater are not completely reflections. A step by step can be connected to the upper and lower parts. From time to time, fishmen can be seen carrying various items from the steps, coming and down from the water and land. Land races are a little more troublesome, and they find it difficult to move underwater, so they usually have to be helped by fishmen. At a glance, there is an indescribable and novel meaning. It is extremely unique.

Guicheng has fortifications, and fortifications are made up of a mixture of city walls and river channels. If someone attacks here, they will encounter obstacles in some locations, while others will encounter obstacles in other locations. However, as of now, no race will attack this city. Therefore, the fortifications in this city are basically empty, and there are no troops patrolling.

At the highest point of Guicheng, you can see a towering temple or temple. A waterfall fell from nothing on the top of the temple out of thin air, surrounded by mist, and was as spectacular as if it was a fairyland.

Zhang Cheng has seen this city in the game. However, the performance in the game is limited and cannot truly express the details of this alien city-state. Players do not have a special feeling, at most they think it is quite interesting. After all, there are as many games with cool computer graphics as possible, and this kind of scene is just a pediatric. But in reality, when you see such an exotic city, you will feel that this thing is really cool.

This is Guicheng, the first city built by Laiyi on land.

Madan, you have to say that the construction of this city is not interfered with by time travelers... Zhang Cheng is the first to believe it!
Chapter completed!
