330 Curse
Ye Ling walked in the fishman tribe, looking at the shacks built with simple water plants in the tribe, and those weird little fishmen. Ye Ling really couldn't tell the gender of the fishman, but from his body shape, he could still see which fishman's cubs were.
These little fishmen all have a common characteristic - they are chewing the strange-looking water plants in their mouths, as if they are using them to satisfy their hunger. Their young bodies are a little thin, and the scales outside their skin are dry, even Ye Ling can tell that their condition is not very good.
In such a bad physical condition, the little fishman still maintained a strong curiosity and looked curiously towards the two strangers Ye Ling. Some of the more courageous little fishman even quietly walked behind Finlier, wanting to pull Finlier's tail.
...It's like a group of curious little crows.
Although he could not have any feelings for the appearance of the fishman, Ye Ling sighed slightly when he saw the appearance of the little fishman's hunger that he could not resist.
But Akaro seemed to be accustomed to all this, and even reached out to wave his hand, drove the curious little fishmen to the distance, and then led Ye Ling forward.
After passing through many shacks, Akaro led Yeling to a grand building. Of course, this "magnificence" is limited to the fishman's tribe. The house in front of him is no longer a shack, but a thing built with branches and wooden stakes, which can be truly called a "house".
Akaro showed great respect in front of the room. He saluted in front of the room, then approached the door, and whispered in a low voice, as if communicating with the people in the room. After rumbling like this for a while, Akaro gently pushed open the door and signaled Yeling and Kaman to enter the room.
Finlier originally wanted to enter the house with him, but was firmly stopped by Akaro.
Ye Ling couldn't understand Akaro's Guru, but he understood Akarona's determination to stop Finlier.
"Forget it, Finlier, you're playing with Akaro outside for a while, and I'll come out later." Ye Ling touched Finlier's head comfortably.
In order to make Finlier happy, Ye Ling took out a stewed big bone rod from his storage space and stuffed it into Finlier's mouth. Sure enough, after having the big bone rod, Finlier instantly changed from losing to being happy, and hid happily aside and gnawed the bones.
Kaman followed Ye Ling very vigilantly, fearing that he would be stopped too. But Akaro ignored Kaman and let both of them enter the room together.
As soon as he opened the door and walked into the house, Ye Ling had already smelled a faint fishy smell in the dim room. It was a smell similar to that emitted before seafood rotted, filling the entire house without any hesitation, making Ye Ling frown.
Just as Ye Ling frowned, trying to find the source of the stench, he suddenly heard a voice.
"Human, I have... heard of it. Cough, cough cough cough cough. I'm here, you don't have to get close, just listen to me there." In the shadow, a turbid voice came out. The owner of the voice seemed quite tired, and he was breathing heavily while talking. It seemed that just speaking had already consumed his last bit of energy.
Ye Ling was stunned and looked in the direction of the sound, and was shocked.
There are actually fishmen who can speak humans in this world!!!
The fishman in the room looked two circles larger than Akaro. He lay on a big bed made of hay, and seemed to be wearing a piece of clothing made of cloth. This may be a symbol of identity for the fishman, because the fishman Ye Ling saw along the way, including Akaro, were only wearing a small leather skirt made of fish scales or fish skin under his body, showing his wildness.
Ye Ling couldn't help but lose an identification skill at the fishman who emitted a faint rotten smell and was huge in size.
[Elite · Fishman Leader Moro (cursed): Lv44, the fishman leader Moro of the Lake Tribe, fell into a weak state due to the curse. He is the only fishman who understands the common language in the Lake Tribe.]
The leader of the fishman, Moro, obviously did not feel Ye Ling's skills. He first introduced himself politely to Ye Ling, and then solemnly explained to Ye Ling to the previous "tribal disaster" mission. To put it bluntly, this is just a cutscene that allows players to understand the mission.
Ye Ling listened carefully to Morrow's words and finally got a rough understanding of the entire mission background.
The Lake Water Tribe was originally a medium-sized fishman tribe, living in this hidden place far away from other races, living a life of self-sufficient life.
But I don’t know when it started, the originally clear and clean lake water seemed to be cursed. First, the water source gradually began to become turbid, and then the creatures in the lake began to change. When the fish in the lake tribe realized this problem, their homes had completely changed.
Including themselves, it seems that they have become part of this curse.
Influenced by that strange curse, they became able to live on the rotten lake water. The more they hated the rotten lake water and the completely mutated creatures in the water, the more they could not survive from those things.
The fish people in the lake tribe have tried to fight, try to move out of this already polluted water, and refuse to eat food that has changed in the water.
However...after a few days, all the fishmen began to fall into madness.
They tore their flesh and blood and traumatize their compatriots. This water seems to have some strange magic. All the fishmen who have drunk the lake water cannot escape the control of the curse. They are forever imprisoned in this water.
However, these lakes covered by curses, including the crazy creatures in the lake, are like poison. The more you drink and the more you eat, the deeper the curse will be. The situation of the leader Moro has been severely affected by the curse.
Every day these cursed fish people live by drinking doves to quench their thirst.
Akaro's father was a patrolman of the Fishman tribe. He was not in the tribe at that time and was lucky enough to be unaffected by the curse.
But Akarod's father did not choose to abandon the tribe, but still took on the role of a tribe patrolman. When Akaro's father was old, Akaro took over his father's work and went to patrol the nearby uncursed lakes day after day. It was not only to protect the tribe, but also to find uncontaminated food for himself, but also to find ways to save the tribe.
