The sea tribe is like a terrible nightmare that makes no one able to calm down.

  Liu Zhenhuan said he was going to sleep, but in fact, his heart was always hanging a seven or eight bucket.

  Helen fell asleep, and he lost the only person he could confide in.

  Liu Zhen was actually also deeply disturbed by his own actions, although Fogelsson Xu appeared to be dignified and composed on the surface, but in reality he was very timid and despicable. Just take how he shrank back at the critical moment and wanted to use two people who were strangers to each other as a substitute for his own safety, this point completely discounted Liu Zhen's impression of him. The kind of person who betrays others is what Liu Zhen has always detested most in his life.

  But Liu Zhen still felt like he had gone a bit too far.

  Not for anything else, but just because of this Fogerson Xu and his own appearance, hair color, skin tone being so similar, Liu Zhen felt that he had an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart.

  There was a lingering feeling of having done something wrong, which had been haunting him and couldn't be shaken off.

  How did you manage to get yourself into such a ridiculous situation just to get those two cufflinks from someone else?

  Dragon meat? Are you kidding me? Just those few pieces of dried and blackened rabbit jerky, two big slabs of salted fish, and you think you can exchange them for everything I own? That's just too ridiculous!

  Liu Zhen was also amused by his own thoughts.

  These people have been searching for the elixir of immortality for thousands of years, abandoning their homeland and everything else. Is it really worth it?

  What complex human beings! Liu Zhen was amazed.

  Liu Zhen was also persuading himself that this world wasn't his own, and whether he could return to the Kingdom of Baimon with Helen, relying on his half-baked Water Song, and smoothly become a priest or noble was really hard to say.

  Helen, although physically fully developed, was still too young to understand that the people around her were also human beings with their own rights and interests, and that the contradictions between them were not necessarily less than those of so-called evil people.

  Liu Zhen was on his guard, for there were very few people he could trust.

  Liu Zhenhuan has already seen that his self-created war song brought a lot of trouble to Helen, he estimated that this unprecedented move had an impact on the Bimon sacrifice, just like when he was on the battlefield before, seeing a handgun but shooting out a howitzer shell, it was unbelievable.

  He and Helen also deeply understood in their conversation during this period that the religious system of the Kingdom of Bhutan was so strict and harsh towards unconventional appearances. As Helen told him, such an innovative war song could not be exposed to the temple's shamans and priests too early, because such innovation might make Liu Zhen be destroyed as a heresy together.

  Helen had mentioned to him more than once the experiences of some talented but unconventional magicians in the human kingdom, and Helen's deep concern revealed in her words quietly plucked a chord in Liu's heart.

  Many times, so-called geniuses and epoch-making creations can be sent to the guillotine. This general rule is not only applicable to the human world but also to all intelligent beings.

  Liu Zhen is now most worried that, Helen is like the most beautiful flower, while he himself has lost even the basic ability of Tongling battle song, except for the brute force brought by the curse of the magic beast blood sacrifice on his body, it can be said that he is useless.

  Dark and mysterious, the root of trouble.

  Liu Zhen thought of the term in mahjong.

  Although he and Guo Guo's physical strength was still impressive, Liu Zhen didn't become arrogant to the point of being dizzy. Infiltrating and penetrating were one thing, but when facing a real face-to-face battle, brute force couldn't replace everything.

  This further solidified Liu Zhen's determination to deceive the two mustard seed rings that could summon powerful Golden Men.

  What if there's no powerful demon? I can still summon an even more powerful Zhāi Yīn Jīn Rényuè!

  What if I'm not a sacrifice? I have those robust and majestic panda warriors of the Pantaloon tribe as my followers!

  Liu Zhenhong's heart was boiling at the thought of these things.

  He slipped out to take a look at the situation on the outside deck, the sailing ship was hoisting its sails and cutting through the waves, the Pantaw warriors were also busy with their own affairs, only Fogelson Xu was still standing beside the large tortoise shell, stroking the rough surface of the shell with deep feeling.

  The greed and impatience in his eyes made Liu shudder.

  Is it just Liu Zhenyong who is greedy?

  Liu Zhenhong quietly retreated back to the cabin, and became even more determined to make a big scam.

  The space design in the cabin is very clever, the space is not big but it's not crowded at all. Many little kids wearing white caps are leaning against the door frame of their room, curiously looking at him.

  Liu Zhen was aware that his appearance must be very ugly and funny-looking, which made these kids curious.

  "Master Bei!" A child asked timidly: "I heard that Master Xue is going to give us to you as slaves, right?"

  "Yes." Liu Zhen stopped in his tracks and turned around.

  "Then won't you eat us as food?" The child lifted the veil covering her face, revealing a delicate small face and two braids.

  "Good! Baimon loves eating children's flesh the most." Liu Zhen said with a vicious and venomous smile.

  "I don't believe it." The little girl covered her mouth and giggled secretly.

  "What's going on?" Fogerson Xu suddenly appeared behind Liu Zhen, like a ghost. The children around him all stuck out their tongues, bowed slightly and retreated into their rooms, closing the doors.

  "Have you thought it through?" Liu Zhen asked directly.

  "Your terms are too harsh." Fogerson's face twisted, "My golden man is the greatest guarantee of our safety on this journey. If I give him to you, what will I do when I go back? For your sake, I have offended the powerful Xiyasea country. You can't be so ruthless. Moreover, you were drifting at sea, but I saved you. Shouldn't you repay kindness with kindness?"

  "Am I asking you to save me? Who took my bamboo raft and gnawed it like a sugarcane? I haven't even asked you for compensation yet, but you're shifting the blame on me? I don't mind if you take your time to find the elixir of immortality." Liu Zhen said: "There's still plenty of time, you can live another thirty or fifty years, no need to rush."

  "Ancestor worship!" Fogelson. Xu heard the elixir of immortality, his lips trembled and he said stubbornly: "Don't you have any temptation at all? The conditions I gave you are already very generous! You've seen how beautiful Jingyu is, having such a beautiful Eastern Sea Clan's female illusionist as a concubine, even the Emperor of the Cloud Qin Empire in his heyday didn't have such good fortune!"

  "How is that possible?" Liu was a bit incredulous and laughed.

  "You don't believe it, but in our Qin State, the status of illusionists is the same as your priests. I think that even in your kingdom, no king would dare to force a priestess who serves the war god into his harem?" Fogelson sneered with a lewd smile.

  "Using your own sister as a bargaining chip, don't you think that's despicable?" Liu Zhen's dislike for the old man grew stronger, and his face showed no attempt to conceal it.

  "In exchange for the elixir, all sacrifices are worth it. To be honest with you, it's not a big deal, back when our ancestors set sail, why did they bring so many young boys and girls? It was because our ancestors didn't have much confidence in the Cadile warriors, these young boys and girls were originally meant to be sacrificed to the sea, it was precisely by relying on these sacrifices and the tools of the sea that we were able to defeat countless Cadile warriors and arrive safely on the Western continent." Fogersen let out a sinister laugh.

  "Obis Laichi!" Liu Zhen was taken aback, inhaling a mouthful of cold air. He hadn't expected that someone with such an ethereal and elegant demeanor could utter such evil words so lightly.

  "Of course, these things can only be known by us high-ranking officials." Fogelson Xu added.

  "How many offerings have you used along the way?" Liu Zhen's eyes narrowed as he looked at him, his fists clenched with a cracking sound.

  "It hasn't been used yet, the blood of the Katana Warrior back then wasn't shed in vain, the Sea Clan is basically very trustworthy, plus we're all navigating through public sea domains, so there's no need to use these offerings yet." Fogersen Xu said with a smile.

  "I think the Hai Zu are detestable, but you and your ancestors are even more detestable than them." Liu Zhen said as he loosened his fists.

  "Everything has a price, and our goal is so far away and unattainable." Fogersen said calmly.

  "Do you believe I won't swap with you?" Liu Zhen's gaze was fixed on him, looking down from a superior position, his eyes cold as the tip of a fishing spear in the hand of a Pantaw warrior.

  "I don't believe it." Fogerson. Xu still had that calm expression: "Sacrificial Lord! Think about it, the beautiful mermaid illusionist and the mermaid princess will both be at your beck and call! If you're a man, think about it! Are you really not moved? The western sea royal bloodline mermaids, after their first time with a man, can even give a domain boundary as a gift to their partner. That's the blessing of their sea god Neptune and Amphitrite. Compared to the fox tribe women's flower crowns that can eliminate bad states, it's more practical! Having her would be great! Who knows, you might even get some unexpected gains! Moreover, mermaids themselves possess water system magic and domain boundary power, which will greatly help your position! Think about it, my Sacrificial Lord!"

  Fogerson Xu's eyes gleamed with an otherworldly light, his tone was laced with an inexplicable charm, this voice seemed to have a kind of magic power, which could lure out the deepest temptation in people's hearts.

  "Don't spout nonsense! To say I'm not tempted is a lie, I am tempted! So what? But I have principles! I won't be like a bandit, depriving others of their autonomy! Besides......" Liu Zhen's eyes gleamed with an eerie light: "I want to tell you, your hypnotic tricks are best not played on me."

  "Fogerson." Xu stared at him in surprise, his mouth agape as if he was seeing the man for the first time.

  "Manipulating others' minds is also one of my specialties, I forgot to tell you." Liu said with a sly smile.

  "What kind of sacrifice are you?!" Fogelson Xu wailed.

  "Damn it! You don't even know this?! Dragon worship!" Liu Zhenhong turned around with a huff, "You say all these things are just illusions, come back and talk to me when you've figured it out. I'm starving, bring something over for me. Don't play any tricks with the food, I've undergone rigorous poison detection training, don't make me turn against you."

  "Are you turning against me?" Fogelson. Xu's face suddenly turned sinister, "Am I?"

  "Have you ever heard of Bimont's life-calling magic?" Liu Zhen asked, turning his head to stare at Fogelson.

  "Familiar." Fogerson Xu was no stranger to the legendary Thunder Array summoned by the Fox Tribe's priests with their own lives in the epic Battle of Haigal a thousand years ago, which had been passed down through the Western Continents.

  "That's good!" Liu Zhenhong opened the leather workshop: "I won't say anything else, my Star Cloud Chain Lightning doesn't want to fall on your head, that would be meaningless."

  Fogelson: If Xu knew that this guy's basic spiritual battle song was barely shaped and had no power, I wonder if he would still be sweating profusely.

  "Show your sincerity, Lord Fang!" Liu Zhenhua smiled and entered his own room, throwing a stiff sentence at Vogel.

  "Right, and there's food too." Liu Zhenhong poked his head out again.

  ***********************************************************************

  The food is brought by Xu together with Hegu Niuyue and Fogesen.

  A large pot of oatmeal porridge, a few pieces of steamed salted fish.

  Ning Yu's eyes were slightly red and swollen, obviously having cried.

  The mermaid princess was also sent over, she had woken up and lay in a large box filled with seawater, weakly blinking her eyes.

  Liu Zhen felt that water box was really like a coffin.

  "It's a bit crude, please use it sparingly." Fogelson Xu's eyes gleamed with an odd light.

  His eyes often flashed with such a light, and Liu Zhen was startled every time he saw it, his heart would skip a beat.

  "What's the point of sending this mermaid over too?" Liu Zhen looked at the room, which was suddenly crowded with the large box-like coffin.

  "She's your slave, you have the right to take care of her. Besides, I also need to guard against the revenge of the sea tribe, by the way, there are already some scattered members of the sea tribe following our ship, I passed on the message to them, and they disappeared under the water now, I think they are waiting for the arrival of some big shot and troops." Foggson's words were unclear whether it was praise or sarcasm: "You are the most ruthless person I have ever seen, I believe you can kill people without blinking an eye. Your cruel and violent eyes can make those sea tribe members give up all their foolish ideas at the necessary moment."

  "Thank you for your compliment." Liu Zhenhong made a shameless yet gentlemanly bow.

  Beside him, Jing Yu looked at Liu's shocked eyes as if looking at a city wall, this thick-skinned guy had indeed reached a kind of enlightenment.

  "No need to be polite, my lord! Here are two restorative pills, please give them to Miss Helen and the mermaid princess separately, they can replenish their most lacking energy within two days." Fogson handed over two crimson red pills the size of pearls to Liu Zhen's hands.

  Liu Zhenhuan encountered slight resistance when giving Aiwei the pill, the mermaid stubbornly stared at him and refused to open her mouth, so Liu Zhenhuan pinched her neck and forced the pill into her mouth.

  "You detestable Bimon!" Avril cursed in a weak voice, coughing violently.

  "If you say something like that again, I'll give you a half-pound slap." Liu Zhen said, scaring her.

  Avery immediately shut her mouth, but her eyes still shone with sharpness like a pufferfish in the sea.

  "Don't look at me like that, I'm afraid you'll fall in love with me!" Liu Zhen said, teasing the little mermaid.

  "Will I fall in love with you?" Evie rolled her eyes, "Your narcissism and your disgustingness are indeed proportional."

  Fogerson. Xu smiled ambiguously beside him.

  "Are you saying that this mermaid might sneak up on me? Didn't you say she should be born with water magic?" Liu Zhen asked, looking at Fogelson.

  "Her physical strength is far from yours, and although the Heart-Locking Chain has shared her injuries, it's still not enough for her to have the energy to launch an attack on you." Fogson. Xu furrowed his brow slightly, "I put her here with you also considering this aspect. In the ancient books left by our ancestors, the merfolk of the Sea Emperor tribe, they are powerful beings who possess domain boundary powers. This domain power is something they can possess from birth, I don't know what kind of domain boundary this mermaid has, perhaps it's a water-elemental magical beast, or perhaps it's transforming into a beautiful water lily. I'm worried that Jingyu doesn't have the ability to adapt to this, so it's better to put this mermaid here with you first, your vigilance is enough to handle this mermaid."

  "What is the realm of the boundary?" Liu Zhen asked.

  "The realm of the boundary is described in detail in the ancient tomes of our ancestors, where every mermaid with royal blood has a blessing from Neptune and Amphitrite since birth, but this blessing is sealed, and each mermaid will awaken at a specific moment, possessing the power of this blessing. This boundary realm power may be an incredibly powerful attack, or it may only be a decorative plaything. The blessings of the gods are fundamentally incomprehensible to mortals." Fogersen Xu said.

  "She's really pitiful, having such great abilities yet almost getting killed. What's the use of having powerful magic?! I think she probably doesn't even have the ability to set up a domain boundary, just look at her arrogant appearance, it doesn't seem like someone who would awaken so early! Her heart is probably already filled with the boredom of life, haha......" Liu Zhen shook his head and sarcastically ridiculed Aifeier.

  "One day you will regret what you said..." The mermaid closed her eyes, forcing herself not to continue talking to this detestable pig-headed person.

  "Killing and killing is not allowed, leaving it alone makes me uneasy, Old Xu, you really know how to get me into trouble!" Liu Zhen was also a bit nervous in his heart.

  "Haha......" Fogelson. Xu smiled and said: "Whether we can leave here alive depends on this mermaid, it's worth suffering a bit."

  "Excuse me, sir, if there's nothing else, may I take my leave?" Jingyu said from the side.

  "Wait a minute!" Liu Zhen said with a shock.

  "You don't need to leave here, I'm going to let you and Lord Richard supervise this mermaid together, Jingyu!" Fogelson said sternly.

  "Just right! I also want to let this shellfish girl try these foods first. These foods I won't eat for the time being, I have to be careful." Liu looked at the old man with a treacherous gaze.

  "Lord Richard!" Jingyu raised an eyebrow and said: "Although Lord Xu is a Taoist, he doesn't have the ability to concoct poison. You can rest assured on this point... It seems that only you people are more capable than the shamans of Mengzhong in this regard?"

  "A steady sail makes a long voyage." Liu Zhen was not embarrassed at all, saying: "I will eat these foods again after one day, but first I have to see how you react after eating them."

  "Your caution reminds me of a cunning mouse." Jingyu's words were laced with undisguised mockery.

  "Whatever you say." Liu Zhenhong snorted and rubbed his nose, looking uninterested.

  "Am I really making you so worried, elder?" Fogelson's face was filled with a pained expression: "We alchemists may be able to refine medicine, but it's just some longevity pills, we can't even reach the level of doctors, let alone refining those terrifying poisons."

  "You're right, you're the one I'm most worried about!" Liu was taken aback and let out a "heh" of laughter.

  "Jade, why don't you give Lord Richardson a demonstration?" Fogelson. Xu shook his sleeves and turned out of the room door.

  Fogerson. The muscles on Xu's face twitched pleasantly. Very stealthy.

  Yes! The Taoist priests of our silk continent will not refine poisonous medicine, but we have been learning to refine lead and mercury since childhood, dedicating ourselves to pleasing the king with the secret bedroom medicine "red lead" - the Cloud Qin Taoist priests!

  You're a cheap pig! After you've taken advantage of me, shouldn't you agree to my request without needing two Blood Jade Rings? thought Fogson Xu with a pleasant feeling in his heart.
