"Then let's get pregnant tonight, as our cultivation continues to improve, it seems that this aspect of control is becoming more and more under control!"

Li Zhi's words are by no means as serious as on his expression, and in addition to the pride in his words, there is also the hypocrisy of dressing.

Qingqi twisted his waist fiercely:

"Do the math, how long has it been since you slept with us? We can understand your hard work, but it hurts our hearts to show enthusiasm when we hear about it for you! ”

Li Zhi hurriedly explained, in a hurry, it was sweat on his forehead, or Afeifa felt sorry for his husband's troubles:

"Sister Qingqi is teasing you, too many treasures have been added to the Chaoyuan Secret Realm in the past two months, and even the spiritual veins are enough for hundreds of years! We all know how all this came about! ”

Qingqi stroked Afifa's hair angrily: "How did you discuss it before?" I can't help but feel sorry for this moment? ”

Pang Qi hugged one of Li Zhi's arms fiercely:

"I also think that Sister Qingqi is a little one-sided, is this the legend, the loss of the status of the husband after having a baby?"

Yu Ran came out of nowhere: "That's not necessarily, since Wen Qi, the text has become more intimate in my eyes!" ”

After saying that, he didn't forget to put aside Yi Yi, who rushed forward, and hugged Li Zhi's other arm.

This attracted Yiyi's strong counterattack: "Don't listen to what she said, Grandma Li hugged Wenqi last night, and Sister Yuran secretly ran to visit three times in an hour!" ”

The women then began to clash with each other, Li Zhi closed his mouth at the right time, but he knew that it was not appropriate to express his attitude easily at this time.

Returning to his family always makes him happy, but the happy time only lasts for one day, and Li Zhi has to set foot on the journey again.

The Xiangqing Empire is much larger than the Songyang Empire or the Poyang Empire, and Taishou City is still more than 2,000 miles away from Gaoxuan Fort.

The Yifu Mountain Range is one of the longest main veins in the entire Puyun Continent, since the beginning of the Xiangqing Empire, thousands of miles away is actually only a very small part, and its southernmost point has reached the extreme north of the Fengchang Continent.

The Juanguo Empire is where Li Zhi came from under the pretense of origin, and it is under the siege of Guangmang at the other end of the Yifu Mountains, and it is still 20,000 miles away from Taishou City.

It was evening, and according to this schedule, he would arrive at night on the ninth of the ten days he had agreed.

Out of the Xiangqing Empire, or in the southern three states within the Yifu Mountains, it will be Li Zhi's next exploration target, and there is a distance of about 5,000 miles between them.

Specifically, the three southern states are three parts of the region, respectively called Shangshiya, Ningcheng Town, Jingru Prefecture, the three states are connected by a famous river that has been famous for thousands of years, so there are only three southern states collectively called.

They belong to the Zeqiu Empire, which is also famous, but still originates from the vast waters that stretch for 3,000 miles.

There is a mermaid clan in the river, which is a strange amphibious creature similar to a mermaid, the lower body is in the shape of a fish, and the upper body is quite humanoid, much like the legendary mermaid monster.

But the face is very different, with a mouth that is split to the ears, sharp teeth, and two antlers on its head, which are said to be quite fearsome of the Krakens.

Combined with various rumors, Li Zhi believes that there is indeed some resemblance to the shark people described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which should be similar to water creatures such as giant salamanders, eels, and catfish, looking like human shapes, covered with scales, and feeling closer to a mixture of humans and animals.

Such creatures are real, because many royal or large powers have occasionally captured them over the years, but none of them are alive.

All of them are made into strange artifacts and treasures in the bronze coffin for the enjoyment of the world, and there are also astronomical and geographical mages at the level of the royal national teacher, who will boil the mermaid paste into candles to replace the eternal lamp in front of the coffin of the royal deceased, and then cast related spells, which are said to be able to save the soul of the deceased for a long time.

Because it can burn for months without extinguishing as long as a drop, it is also said that after the death of the emperor, the mermaid will be used to paint the lamp and the mound, and the fire will not be extinguished for thousands of years.

The price of that kind of mermaid paste is extremely expensive, at least a hundred times the value of gold, one is because the person who boils it is only the royal national teacher has this qualification, and if others make it in private, it will cause the royal law to sanction it, and the one who is guilty of the crime will exterminate the three clans.

In addition, the corpses of the mermaids are quite scarce, and the number of corpses counted among various empires for thousands of years is actually less than a hundred, which shows how difficult it is to capture the mermen.

The mausoleum of the merman, that is, the life on land only exists in rumors, and no one has actually seen it, and its amphibious nature of the survival state is judged by the air hole used as a breath between the neck of the corpse.

They appear in the middle of the river, but they are often recorded.

Among the various theories in the complexity, there is only one thing that is the same, that is, the appearance of the shark people, without exception, is hidden in the wind and waves on the river.

The reason why the river got its name is because its river surface is extremely vast, and the widest part is several miles.

One of the biggest mysteries is by far why the sharks, who should have appeared in the wider ocean and have always been regarded as sea tribes, appeared in inland rivers.

Although Li Zhi has seen relevant records, he said that in a few large rivers and lakes connected to the sea, as well as underground lakes, there will also be a small number of mermaids to survive.

However, the survival of the mermaids mainly depends on the depth and quality of the water, because they do not want to live in unclean water, and the river in the inland area is vast, and it cannot be compared with the ocean.

In particular, the cleanliness of water quality is inevitably closely related to the ubiquitous human life around it, and the water quality is by no means clean.

Therefore, in Li Zhi's view, it may be that somewhere along the Yuchuan River, there is an existence similar to the secret realm of the Chaoyuan Dynasty, which will make such mermaids unwilling to leave, or willing to migrate here.

Perhaps this is the most fundamental reason why their habitat has not been known to humans for thousands of years.

Despite their scarcity and uniqueness, Li Zhi does not feel pity for the cruel exploitation of them by humans.

Because the mermaids are not good, they are even more vicious.

The reason why they appear in the wind and waves is that they are basically all females, and these female things are not only the most sexually and bloodthirsty, but also good at singing, and the singing voice is beautiful and beautiful, and can take the soul of people.

And to use its song to deceive the sailors of passing ships and cause them to run aground and die, is a fatal temptation.

The purpose of the seduction is, of course, to devour its flesh and bones, and according to legend, the occasional survivor will be captured by the female merman and. to ingest the essence and even derive offspring.

It is also because all the victims were eaten to the bone that there is no bone left, and some humans will later catch the corpse of the merman, so they will slaughter and dry it, pour it into its ointment, and make a long candle.

Because of the knowledge gained by later generations, Li Zhi has a deeper understanding than the humans here.

For example, the shark was born without gender at the beginning, and when the sexual consciousness awakens as an adult, the body mutates and splits into male and female, and there are also gender-neutral for a lifetime.

As for the transition of gender, it depends on their own will, the transformation time takes about a few months to a year or two, and the body is hot when transforming, and they can only choose their gender once in their life.

Only females tend to have the most beautiful singing voices, which is why females are the most common.

In fact, this kind of singing, in Li Zhi's opinion, is a kind of ultrasound, which should belong to a kind of innate specialty of this kind of species, although it is far from being as magical and vast as supernatural powers.

The merman belongs to the Jiao clan in his bloodline, but he has extremely high intelligence, and his brain and thinking are more developed than ordinary humans.

Most of the human hunts against them are destroyed by the various secret magic traps they have secretly placed in the water, and these beings seem to have an innate ability to lay traps.

However, because of their Jiao clan attributes, these dangers are not to be feared by Li Zhi, because not only the predecessor of the old dragon was the Jiao clan, but now it has evolved into a true dragon attribute, and it has a natural bloodline suppression power against the merman, and it is the kind of close blood coercion that cannot be violated slightly.

And the whole body of the shark is a treasure, which is the most direct reason why Li Zhi regards it as the top priority among many mysterious legends within the Puyun Continent.

The chant-like language used by the mermaids, in the case of Li Zhi, is not only used to convey messages in a sing-like tone in the sea, but its ultrasonic properties can be used to transform or strengthen Li Zhi's divine attacks, as well as secret language communication.

Its eyes are gouged out and processed, and it is called Ning Bi Zhu, which is invaluable and can be used to drive wind falcons.

The mermaid beads formed in the fish's tail are the same bead crystals condensed from the tears of adults with sufficient age, and due to the influence of their special constitution and mental state, there is a very small chance that they may condense into pearl-like treasures that are not fragile and glow.

This kind of water attribute, and the extreme evolution of the stars to the corresponding physique, the merman himself also regarded it as a gift from the heavens, and it is said that the merman bead can improve the cultivator's sense of natural water attribute spirituality.

This point is incredible, in Li Zhi's opinion, even if this kind of merman bead is far inferior to the heaven and earth gods such as the water spirit bead, in terms of water attribute physique, the energy in it will be far higher than that of ordinary spirit stones.

Among his wives, there are three people with water attribute physiques, and obtaining that kind of mermaid bead is undoubtedly one of the focus directions of this trip.

Another manifestation of the high wisdom of the mermaids is that they have the ability to weave, and the silk silk woven by them is not wet when it enters the water, light and tough, the surface is extremely smooth, and the quality far exceeds that of the extremely thin and most precious silk woven by the Tang Dynasty.

As for the use of extremely valuable silk fabrics spun from the raw materials of the sea, it is said that in addition to their own use, they are more intended for sale and exchange.

As for this kind of bazaar, it is a "mirage" that appears on the sea in legends.

Li Zhi was not sure about this before, not only because there was no empirical source, but also because it was too mysterious.

However, after some inquiries with Lao Long, he learned that most of them were real, except for the rumors of the shark silk's market, which were not very reliable.
