Chapter 312 Civil War
Zhou Island is mainly divided into two parts: Beizhou and South China Sea.
Beizhou is where Zhouzhou people live. They gather, fish, hunt, use leather and wood, make simple medicinal herbs, and establish villages very early.
The people of Zhouzhou developed rapidly at one time, and their number reached 150,000 at the peak. The piers are all over the capes and beaches of Beizhou, and the roads extending in all directions connect every village.
They are ambitious and want to conquer the ocean, and mark every island in the sea with the mark of the north.
The sea began to become a hunting ground and road for Zhouzhou people. Their boats set off to the depths of the southern sea to explore the limits of this world.
However, in an era change, the Zhouzhou people suffered a devastating blow.
The New Era saw a surge in the population of an animal called the sea toad. Sea toads were originally a small and inconspicuous animal. They usually hide in shallow seas and hunt insects as food. They are highly toxic.
After the number of sea toads increased, they began to go ashore to look for food.
The toxins they carried killed a large number of livestock raised by people in Zhouzhou, and people who came into contact with them were also poisoned and died one after another.
The people of Zhouzhou had to recall the members of the sea and do their best to wipe out the toads in Beizhou.
Sea toads have strong reproductive ability and like to hide in the sea, so it is difficult to be completely wiped out.
This war between Zhouzhou people and toads lasted for a long time, until the next era, an animal called weaver bird grew stronger, and they began to hunt toads, and finally curbed the harm of toads.
After this poison disaster, the people of Zhouzhou have been seriously injured.
Toad poison directly or indirectly caused the death of more than 30,000 people, the vast majority of whom were the elderly among Zhouzhou people.
The successive deaths of the elderly have seriously disrupted the knowledge inheritance of Zhouzhou people. The society has lost the hub and buffer connecting the old and new people, and has become extremely unstable.
In order to compete for resources, conflicts and fighting broke out frequently among continental people in different regions, and civilization even entered a short-term regression.
At the same time, the sharks in the southern deep sea are growing rapidly.
Different from the Zhouzhou people who developed civilization early on, the mermaids have maintained a beast-like life for thousands of years. Their enlightenment stems from eating the corpses of Zhouzhou people and using sunken ships on the seabed.
People in Zhouzhou have the custom of sea burial. The dead will be loaded into boats by the living and let them float into the sea. They believed that the dead would make their way back to the north in another way, through the currents of the ocean.
The bodies of these sea burials have become food for fish schools.
The plague of poisonous toads caused tens of thousands of corpses of Zhouzhou people to float into the sea, making the mermaids gradually gain wisdom in eating and observing.
In the past, when sharks encountered Zhouzhou people, they would run away and hide, fearing that they would be pierced by their hooks and spears. But after eating many corpses, they became more courageous—now the Zhouzhou people are not strong anymore.
A long time ago, people in Zhouzhou were very interested in mermaids, because this underwater creature has a human-like shape. They are full of curiosity and respect for the boats of the Zhouzhou people, and they will exchange pearls for the livestock and fruits of the Zhouzhou people.
During its heyday, the people of Zhouzhou would give food to the sharks and teach them how to weave with rope or rattan, showing the aura of a king who ruled the world.
At that time, the mermaids were also sincerely convinced. They would always take the initiative to greet the boats of the Zhouzhou people and guide them into safe sea areas.
But now the Zhouzhou people are weak and lack everything, they don't have the high spirits before.
People in Zhouzhou hunt sharks, lock them with ropes and hooks, and let them go to the sea to find pearls and corals.
The strong merman became the sea collectors of the Zhouzhou people, the weak mermen were used to feed the livestock, and the merman corpses became bait to attract more mermen.
The anger that had been suppressed for many years finally broke out at a certain moment.
The mermaids began to counterattack frantically. They scuttled ships, damaged docks, and dragged Zhouzhou people underwater to drown. They raise a large number of sea toads and throw these poisons into the villages and settlements of the Zhouzhou people.
As soon as the boats of the Zhouzhou people entered the southern waters, they would be attacked by sharks, causing the ship to sink or be attacked by some deep sea monsters.
The hatred between the two ethnic groups is deepening day by day.
Right at this moment, Li Liweng finally made a move.
The **** who ruled the world sent an apostle.
The apostle announced the oracle of peaceful co-governance between the two races, and also ended the protracted civil war.
Two more epochs passed, the hatred was gradually diluted by time, and the Zhouzhou people and Yuren began to cooperate.
They traded with each other, and the fruits, grains, and livestock from the north were transported by ships to the south of the sea, where they were exchanged for oysters, fish, sea vegetables, pearls, and corals in the sea.
The mermen learned simple hand-woven weaving and leather processing from the Zhouzhou people, and the Zhouzhou people learned from the mermen how to identify the position on the sea and how to avoid dangerous sea areas.
The land provides livestock, fruits, vegetables, and herbs that are not available in the sea, and the sea provides a large amount of fish and various ores that are lacking on the ground.
The sea and land races have entered the honeymoon period, and [Red Coral Mirage] is the testimony and creation of this period.
The existence of red corals and mirages allows Zhouzhou people and sharks to see each other across the sea. The mirror formed by the refraction of mirages makes their mutual worlds clearly visible, which makes transactions and exchanges more smooth and fast.
The northern land and the southern ocean are connected in an unprecedented way.
Later, the **** Mino Li Weng became the genus of the Dragon Clan, and the Jiuhe Pillar was fixed under the sea of Zhoudao.
Dragon races of different shapes began to appear in this world.
The mere existence and appearance of them has brought a series of changes and opportunities to the world. The existence of the dragon also made the Zhouzhou people and the Yuren more cautious, reporting to each other to keep warm.
This is also the most peaceful and stable time on Zhoudao.
In the sixth era, the gods and dragons suddenly left the Nine Harvest Pillar, and then the Nine Harvest Pillar was destroyed, and the flame of faith in the whole world was quickly extinguished.
There is no sign of the fall of the gods, but the drastic changes in the world have come quietly.
During the 7th era, the entire world entered an era of extreme cold. The northern land was covered and submerged by heavy snow, icicles grew on the capes, and the sea surface in the offshore area became thick and solid ice. A large number of land animals died in the cold, and trees continued to wither and collapse.
The largest source of food for the Zhouzhou people has become the ocean, they cut through the ice to catch fish, and at the same time ask the sharks for help.
At this time, the Merman's long-standing resentment and ambition to conquer the land were no longer hidden. They rejected the request of the Zhouzhou people, blocked the coastline, and prohibited the Zhouzhou people from stepping into the sea.
Trees are becoming fewer and fewer, and the fuel that can be used for heating and heating is quickly exhausted. Zhouzhou people are desperately looking for food and firewood.
But the reserves on land are already a drop in the bucket. In the end, the Zhouzhou people completely disappeared in this long and cold era.
A new era is coming, the ice melts, and the ground and ocean are warm and humid again.
The mermaids celebrated each other. They finally ended the humiliation of the past, completely wiped out the Zhouzhou people, and became the only civilized ruler in this world.
However, the temperature continues to rise.
In the 8th era, the entire continent was plunged into extreme heat.
There are red and green algae floating on the surface of the sea. These algae are all over the waters, causing a large number of fish in the sea to die or become sick. The sharks are poisoned and infected by eating these fish.
Without the medical treatment of the Zhouzhou people, the mermaids could not heal themselves, and the number continued to decrease.
While the sharks were weakening, a ferocious small shark-eating fish was born in the sea.
They have a strong ability to survive. They eat seaweed and all kinds of poisoned fish. Even if only half of their body is left, they can swim in the water for a long time.
The shark-eating fish began to hunt the weak sharks in groups, because the oil of the sharks was delicious and could provide a lot of strength.
In this hot and bright era, the mermaids died and fled.
In the end, they failed to survive this difficult period, and became the prey of deep-sea monsters, retreating to the basic animal nature of survival and reproduction.
The once prosperous northern and southern civilizations have come to an end successively in the world records.
