Siren, a type of soldier that looks somewhat similar to the Harpy.
They have a lot in common with harpies.
For example, they all have human upper body and bird lower body.
But in fact, the root races of Sirens and Harpies are completely different, and they are just the result of convergent evolution.
Just like termites and ants in the real world.
Termites and ants look similar, have similar habits, and are both true social insects .
But in fact, the two are completely different.
It can be simply understood as:
Termites are insects of the order Blattodea, and their closest relatives are cockroaches.
Ants are insects in the order Hymenoptera, and their closest relatives are wasps.
Likewise, the harpy's closest relative is the centaur.
The Siren's closest relatives are the wind element and the water element.
That’s right, according to Qi Ge’s previous research, the earliest sirens should be elemental creatures, which should be special elements born from the combination of air, fire and water elements.
According to the murals of the Siren clan.
The upper body of an early siren should be a torso composed of wind circles and water currents, and the lower body should be a floating flame.
But for some reason, their clan evolved real flesh and blood.
The entire evolutionary process is full of confusion.
Even Seven Pigeons, who was extremely familiar with the Siren inside and out, up and down, front and back, could not figure out the evolutionary history of the Siren.
The Sirens inherited the usual characteristics of elemental creatures: simple-minded and honest.
It's just that the way the Sirens inherited these traits is a little crooked.
Simple-minded: If she says she will catch a man, she will catch a man. She doesn't want anything else except the man and doesn't discuss any conditions.
Honest: Use them once you catch them, use them until they are dead.
Although both are half human and half eagle, there are many differences in appearance between the harpy and the siren.
The harpies do not have a clear evolutionary path, but what is certain is that the body of the harpies was stabilized when all the races were first created, and has not changed much since then.
Harpies have no arms, but their wings are very soft and flexible and can serve as arms.
The Sirens have arms and wings.
However, the Siren's arms and wings are connected together with a layer of flesh membrane in the middle, which cannot be seen at all without careful observation.
Upon seeing Siren, Qi Ge, who was originally full of enthusiasm, instantly felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on him.
It’s not that Siren isn’t strong.
As a natural spellcasting soldier, the Sirens have a high innate level and speed, as well as powerful magic from the three elements of earth, water, and wind.
Some Sirens are upgraded to dual-function arms that can cast spells and carry long range.
It’s just that the Sirens’ attitude towards the male race is more or less a bit catty.
As a handsome guy with a charm value of 30, I can foresee that the process of conquering the Siren will be difficult.
At this moment, Qige, who had just come ashore, regretted it deeply.
How he wanted to roll into the sea and stay there with the six hydras.
"The sea is nice. It's moist and warm. Why would I go ashore?"
Now that you are here, you have to go no matter how reluctant you are.
Qi Ge took a deep breath and headed towards the Immortal Tree.
The entire route to the Immortal Tree is covered by primitive wild forests. It is damp and humid, dark, sparsely populated, and full of malaria.
The lush tree canopy almost blocked out the sunlight, making the surrounding vision somewhat dim.
From time to time, various bird calls can be heard from the treetops, chirping and chirping.
Qi Ge walked forward cautiously on the ground covered with wet moss.
He hadn't taken a few steps when suddenly the treetops above his head shook violently.
With a rustling sound and scattered falling branches and leaves, two sirens pierced through the treetops and appeared in front of the seven doves.
Here it comes, a familiar scene.
Qi Ge immediately became alert and focused.
“Da da da da da ~ la la sou mi ~”
"Swoosh, swoosh, Mirudu~"
The two sirens kept hovering in the air and nimbly shuttled among the tree trunks.
Although their figures were vaguely visible, their singing never stopped.
Qi Ge felt that she was in a trance, and her upper eyelid felt as if a heavy weight was hanging on it, and it kept sticking to her lower eyelid.
Bang!
Qi Ge slapped himself hard.
"Hold on! You must not fall asleep.
I'm so sleepy, let's take a nap."
At this moment, it seemed as if there were two completely different voices echoing in Qi Ge's heart at the same time.
“The song of the sirens is different from the song of the mermaids.
The mermaid's singing is a passive charm. As long as you don't want to get close to her, you won't be affected.
The sirens' song is actively hypnotic, as if it were drilling into your brain and forcing you to sleep.
Actually, there is not much difference, they are all just sleeping.
This is the first test of the Sirens. Once you fall asleep, you will be regarded as prey by the Sirens.
There's nothing wrong with it, it's very comfortable.
Only by surviving this wave can you gain the respect of the Siren.
I can’t hold on any longer. I just want to sleep.
No, I can't sleep.
Hey, Smith, why are you here? Hey, let's sleep together.
No, I am in the historical echo, how could Schmidt be here.
Ah, my historical echo has ended, and I have obtained the [Underground River], so I will enjoy it. "
Qi Ge didn't realize that his consciousness was gradually sinking, but he instinctively felt that something was wrong.
He took out a mallet and hit himself hard on the vital points.
"Ah! It hurts!
Ah! It hurts! "
The little pigeon, which had been gradually rising in popularity due to the sirens’ singing, was badly hit!
Two different voices reached a consensus in Qige’s heart at the same time!
Qi Ge gritted his teeth and took a deep breath.
The sirens' song still echoed in his ears.
The willpower gained by relying on pain will not last long. You must rely on this short period of time to change your unfavorable environment.
Qi Ge took out the lucky harp and quickly began to play it.
"Whenever the wave comes
Will you be sad too?
In a crowded and lonely room
I can't breathe
In this cold and heartless city
At a modern and decadent party
Whenever the guitar noise starts again
The current runs through me and you!
You you you you wanna dance?!
You you you wanna dance?! "
With the help of the sound-amplifying treasure, the lucky harp, and the ancient divine song, Qi Ge managed to sing electronic music on the harp and cover up the Siren's song.
Qi Ge played and sang while shaking his head from side to side, trying to keep himself awake.
However, although Qi Ge's response to the Siren Magic Sound was clever, it was not without worries.
The noisy sound of music was like a huge rock hitting the sea, causing thousands of waves!
“Hualala!”
“Crash!!”
The sound of countless wings flapping came from the Immortal Tree!
The sound of flapping wings was so dense that it sounded like the roar of a train.
The Sirens that covered the sky and the sun began to gather towards the seven pigeons!
However, this is exactly the effect that Qi Ge wanted.
There must be a great leader in the Siren tribe, similar to the alpha wolf.
When a siren in the wild finds prey, if it finds it itself, it will steal and eat it.
As long as the action is clean and not discovered, the Siren leader will not pursue it.
According to underworld rules, if you are not caught, it is not considered stealing.
However, if the noise during hunting is too loud and the leader finds out, the other Sirens will automatically lose their hunting rights.
They can only have their turn after the leader has finished enjoying himself.
However, considering his own dignity, the Siren leader will not let all the Sirens rush to hypnotize at once, but will do it himself.
“In this way, as long as I can survive the hypnosis of the Siren leader, I can gain the recognition of the entire Siren tribe.
Although the hypnotic ability of the Siren Leader is much stronger than that of ordinary sirens, I still have a secret weapon!"
boom!
The powerful wind blade blew away all the treetops where Qi Ge was!
The cruel sounds of flapping wings merged into one, like thunder in the sky.
Qi Ge stood there in a daze.
“Hiss~~
How can there be so many?!"
Sirens live in small tribal groups. Even a large Sirens tribe would generally not exceed 300 individuals, right?
But there are already thousands of Sirens floating in the sky, and more Sirens are constantly pouring in from the direction of the Immortal Tree.
"Oops, I think I made a mistake.
Times have changed, times have changed.
How could the Sirens before the Second Chaos Invasion be exactly the same as the Sirens of the future?"
Qi Ge immediately took a deep breath and calmed down.
"It doesn't matter, if an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth.
I also have [Silence: Contradiction] which can make me immune to all magical effects for a short period of time. As long as I use it when the Siren leader is singing, I can get through it."
“La la la~”
At this moment, all the Sirens suddenly sang in unison.
The same melodious tune surrounds the sky, and the sound continues to echo in the lush jungle.
The Sirens gradually separated in the sky, leaving a path in the air.
A golden siren slowly flew down from the immortal tree.
Qi Ge looked at the Siren, took a deep breath in amazement, and did not dare to exhale for a long time.
How to describe her?
Her hair was a beautiful fiery red, and the ends of her hair spattered with bright sparks as she flew.
The feathers on her wings are gold and yellow with dots of blue in between.
On both sides of her body, there were flames and water flowing, and under her feet were green and transparent circles of wind.
Just looking at her face, you would think she is very young.
The tender white skin and bright big eyes perfectly fit the three words "white, young and thin".
But her figure is extremely tall.
Qi Ge roughly estimated that she was at least about 1.8 meters tall.
She has the body of a tall mature lady, but the face of a young girl.
The combination of the two blends into a perfect beauty.
Just by seeing her, Qi Ge had an urge to make her cry.
Even the little pigeon, which had just suffered a heavy blow, couldn't help but straighten its back, wanting to show its masculinity.
"No! That's not right!
How can we surrender before the war even starts?
Um?
Wait, why would I want to fight with such a beautiful Siren sister?
What a happy and joyful thing it would be if I could have a kiss with such a beautiful Siren sister?
Go to sleep, just sleep."
Seven Pigeons: !!!
At the moment when Qi Ge's upper eyelids closed, a cool feeling suddenly came from the [Rule·Still] and [Rule·Stop] in his mind.
Qi Ge woke up from his trance and saw a beautiful and pretty face with eyes closed, standing in front of him.
The Siren leader's soft lilac tongue had already begun to enjoy his spoils without him noticing.
Qi Ge's cold sweat oozed from his back and his whole body felt cold.
He quickly reached out and pushed the Siren leader away.
I pushed it, but it didn't move.
The physical strength was crushed.
Ah this...
Qi Ge was a little embarrassed for a moment.
Fortunately, the Siren leader who was intoxicated by the Seven Pigeons seemed to realize something. She opened her blue eyes and looked at the Seven Pigeons curiously, then took a half step back with a sweet smile.
"You actually woke up."
A clear voice rang directly in Qi Ge's heart.
This is the telepathic communication ability unique to elemental creatures.
"I almost couldn't wake up."
Qi Ge just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly realized something was wrong.
It was a little darker around.
He looked up at the sky in confusion. At this moment, there was no clear sky or groups of sirens in the sky.
The treetops that Qi Ge had seen before, which were blown away by air magic, were still standing there intact.
Qi Ge's pupils shrank.
"Have I been hypnotized for a long time? Everything I saw was just an illusion in the dream?
Those two Sirens don't exist, and the one I met from the beginning was you?"
"That's right. It was me from the beginning."
The Siren leader smiled very naturally and ruffled her hair slightly.
"No wonder." Qi Ge smiled bitterly.
In the game, you always have to kill the soldiers first and then the BOSS, but reality doesn't follow this logic, the BOSS is blocking the door.
He was still thinking of saving his ultimate move for fighting the BOSS, but he didn't even realize that the BOSS had already launched a sneak attack.
Fortunately, [Rule·Quiet] and [Rule·Stop] helped me get rid of the mental control, otherwise I would not know how I died.
“Although I am very curious about how you got rid of the control, now that you have gotten rid of the control, I can’t treat you as food.
I can feel that you came to see us specifically.
I am Acher Roy, the leader of the Sirens.
If you have any questions, you can discuss them with me directly."
Hearing what Ake Roy said, Qi Ge was shocked with a hint of excitement.
Finally encountered a race with a name!
Individuals have their own names, which represent the high civilization and intelligence of this race.
This also means that training is easier.
"Chief Ake Roy, I came here to tell you some bad news.
The forces of Chaos are coming near.
We have to be prepared for chaos.”
"Chaos? What is chaos? Can it be used to lay eggs?" Rose tilted her head in confusion.
Seven Pigeons: ...
Yes, now is before the second chaos invasion. For all the races in the Yasa world, they don’t even know what chaos is.
Qi Ge quickly began to explain, and exaggerated the chaos to make it sound extremely powerful.
…
…
“So, it’s hard to defeat Chaos with just my strength.
You alone are no match for Chaos.
Only if we unite together can we completely eliminate Chaos."
After listening to Qi Ge's words, Ake Roy put his finger on his lips, thinking about something.
Seems like there's hope?
Seeing this, Qi Ge immediately struck while the iron was hot and added fuel to the fire:
"I have assembled a powerful army.
In the sea, I have a large group of indestructible beasts and a powerful army of sea beasts.
On shore, I gathered a full force of troops, from scouts to mages.
Now, all I lack is air power.
As long as you, the Siren clan, are willing to join us, we can definitely defeat Chaos together."
Ake Roy put down his finger and said, "No matter how terrible the threat of Chaos is, we are not worried.
As you can see, we Sirens move very quickly.
If we can’t win, we can always run away.”
Qi Ge said anxiously: "But protecting the Yasha world against chaos is the responsibility and obligation of every Yasha race."
“That’s right.
But there are many ways to fight chaos.
Why would we, the Siren clan, choose to follow you?"
Tsk.
Intelligent races are easy to train, but also difficult to fool.
Qi Ge asked openly:
"Roy, since you said that, it means you don't completely reject it in your heart.
You can propose any conditions you want."
There was a malicious glint in Roy's eyes.
Her long eyelashes trembled and she whispered:
“We, the Siren clan, are only willing to follow.
A wise man who can bring a bright future to our race.
A warrior who can lead us to victory over difficult situations.
A warrior with great strength.
Turn misfortune into fortune and become the darling of fate loved by the world.
If you want us to follow you, use your wisdom, courage, force, luck, and everything in your power to completely conquer us."
"Wisdom, courage, force, luck...
Wisdom corresponds to the hero's knowledge and magical power.
Military power corresponds to the hero's attack and defense.
Courage corresponds to the morale of a hero.
Luck corresponds to the hero's luck.
The Elemental Clan really likes this tune.
Even if I become a siren, I still worship this.”
Qi Ge smiled inwardly, confidently stretched out his finger, pointed at Ake Roy and said:
"No matter what the test is, I will pass it."
Ake Roy's fiery red hair flew up, water and flames surrounded her body, and she spread her wings and flew into the sky.
"Very good! Qi Ge, I admire your courage very much.
But now, in the duel between you and me.
I'm betting on the future of our Siren clan, so what about you? What can you bet on?"
Ake Roy was flying above the Seven Doves, and the powerful magical energy in her body was flowing rapidly.
The terrible wind pressure made the Seven Doves' cloaks rustle.
If an ordinary person faced this kind of power, he probably wouldn't even have the strength to stand up straight.
The seven pigeons held their heads high and faced it calmly.
He looked at Ake Roy and said calmly, "I don't think this is a gamble between us.
But if you insist on thinking so, then I can bet everything I have!"
"Hahaha!"
Ake Roy covered his mouth and laughed.
"In that case, bet on yourself!
If you win, we, the Siren clan, will recognize you as our leader, and you can use any of our members at will.
If you lose, you will need to leave your subordinates and become the property of our Siren clan, and we will enjoy you at our will."
"I see, is this your purpose?
This is your territory, and you have the final say on how and what events to compete in.
My chances of winning are slim.
The so-called competition is just a way for you to take me as your own in a seemingly fair way."
As Qi Ge spoke softly, Ake Roy's eyes gradually narrowed and an ominous aura emanated from his body.
Qi Ge smiled coldly and said:
“But so what?!
What I like most is to smash those so-called sure wins!
I accept this bet!"
"Very good!" Ake Roy nodded happily and said:
"Since you have agreed, let's get started right away!"
She flapped her wings and flew high, chirping softly, and almost all the sirens in the immortal wood flew out.
This number is even more exaggerated than the scene Qi Ge saw in the illusion.
“The first competition.
food!
Sirens require large amounts of food for both reproduction and survival.
Food is of vital importance to us Sirens.
Sirens who can bring enough food to the tribe are often favored by our tribe.
The first competition is limited to 2 hours.
Whoever can collect more food in two hours will win. "
The first item is to find food?
Then am I not as stable as a rock?
Qi Ge laughed secretly in his heart and said quickly:
"Okay! I can start anytime."
Acheron Roy flapped his wings vigorously, and all the sirens living on the immortal tree flew down from the immortal tree .
Ake Roy stood among a group of sirens and said proudly:
"very good.
Let us have the most beautiful duel under the supervision of my people!
I declare that the competition begins!"
The moment Ake Roy announced this, she flew towards the Undying Wood.
Here and there among the shrubs and plants surrounding the immortal tree were mottled red fruits.
Ake Roy knew very well where these fruits usually grew, and she was very confident that she could defeat the Seven Pigeons in just the first level.
Qi Ge looked at the direction where Ake Roy flew and thought quickly in his mind.
"Ake Roy really wants to beat me and has no intention of letting me win.
She is familiar with the island's terrain and has the ability to fly.
I'm definitely not as efficient as her in collecting food.
If you want to win, you have to surprise others."
Qi Ge raised his head and looked at the Siren in the sky that seemed to be watching him, and a bold idea came to his mind.
…
…
An hour later, Ake Roy returned to the place with fruits again.
At this time, in front of Ake Roy, there was a pile of fruits that was as tall as a person.
There are fruits of all colors, red, green, yellow and white, just like a fruit fair.
She looked around and asked the Siren next to her, "Has the Seventh Pigeon not returned yet?"
"Yes, Queen, he has not returned since the last time he went out."
“I see.”
Ake Roy bit his nails, thinking.
"Even if human arms are better than our wings, they are not this good.
I have delivered food back ten times, so Qige should at least deliver it back once, right?
How come he never came back once?
"Could it be that he has another trick up his sleeve? Or was it just a coincidence that he got rid of my hypnosis, and he is not as powerful as I thought?
