After obtaining Elsa's consent, Zhou Heng pulled a handful of common corydalis herb and placed it in his arms, then followed Elsa into the depths of the grassland.
Because of the sparse number of draconians, they did not develop their textile industry, nor did they have light industry. They did not even have the habit of cooking with fire, only the simplest farming and animal husbandry industry had developed. Compared to the human society, the social structure of the draconians was extremely simple. It was impossible to imagine that they had tens of thousands of years of history.
Not only did they have a long history, the physical abilities and longevity of the Draconians were also much better than those of humans. However, compared to the brilliant and resplendent human civilization, the Draconians were only able to produce such a crude civilization.
Zhou Heng followed behind Elsa and heard her introducing her farm, and her expression became more and more surprised.
Perhaps it was due to the unique ecological environment under the water, but the small area of the pond was filled with plants that were extremely rare and difficult to cultivate in the human world. Most of these plants had excellent medicinal value, but a few were extremely poisonous to humans. However, Elsa was completely unaware of the characteristics of these plants. She only knew that these plants had different flavors, to her, these rare herbs were probably the same as wheat and rice.
And what surprised Zhou Heng was the material of the clothes, it was obvious that they were also made from medicinal ingredients. There were no sheep at the bottom of the water to produce wool, and the draconians did not use fish skins as animal skins. They could only weave these plants into clothes. However, the surface of the plant he had chosen was hairy, and the bottom of the water was very dark, so he couldn't see through it at the moment.
He once again requested of Elsa, and after getting Elsa's permission, Zhou Heng ate while putting the herbs into his arms.
Heart Drilling Grass, Rotten Root, Jadeite Flower … If he had known that he would run into these rare medicinal herbs, Zhou Heng would have definitely brought a big bag of them and dived into the water.
"Mr. Zhou Heng, your appetite is really good." Looking at Zhou Heng's actions, Elsa sighed with a smile.
In fact, Zhou Heng had already restrained himself a lot. After all, these normal looking herbs were all extremely rare goods on the shore. It was not like Zhou Heng would treat Jindan as a chocolate bean for his grandson to eat. But right now, other than eating the grass, Zhou Heng had no other choice to fill his stomach.
Elsa stopped eating after eating a little bit, but to replenish the energy that she had lost, she still needed to eat a lot of food — — Just because the medicinal effect was strong did not mean that the energy it contained was high.
The two of them began to chat.
Elsa first told Zhou Heng a few things about the Dragon People. It could be said that the number of Draconians was sparse. After the sacrifice of her four brothers, she was the only Draconians left in the water. Thinking about it this way, it was understandable for the Draconian civilization to be so backward. The reason why the draconians were not extinct was because the draconians had the ability to reproduce asexually.
In other words, even if the Dragon King was Elsa's father, he was also Elsa's mother. From Elsa's description, it could be known that the Dragon King was an incomparably large giant, a mighty being that no one could approach. Zhou Heng had once seen the shadow of the Dragon King in the dense fog of the Qingyu Lake, so he had some understanding of this point that Elsa had mentioned.
In Elsa's world, the Dragon King was the undisputed king of this region of water.
"But when Andrea killed your brother, why didn't the Dragon King help?" Zhou Heng asked curiously.
Elsa suddenly stopped talking. She silently counted on her fingers, obviously she couldn't answer this question either.
Zhou Heng realized that he had asked the wrong thing, and immediately corrected his words: "Let me tell you about what happened on shore!"
"Alright, alright!" Elsa's eyes lit up again. For her, who had lived underwater all her life, everything on the shore was full of unknown mysteries that stimulated her curiosity and made her want to explore. If not for the curiosity of others, she would not have saved the dying Andrea and caused such a disaster in the future.
Zhou Heng told Elsa some of the geography and knowledge that he had on the shore. He was not good at telling stories, and furthermore, the last time he had accepted this was when he was still in high school, so Zhou Heng couldn't help but stumble a little when he spoke. However, Elsa listened very attentively. Her body was covered with scales, which made her not look so beautiful in terms of human aesthetic standards. However, her eyes were extremely clear and beautiful, as if they were sparkling with starlight.
"A sea of land?" Elsa said in shock.
"It's a desert." Zhou Heng explained to her, "Passersby who pass through the desert can sink into quicksand, it's just like sinking into the bottom of water." Zhou Heng tried his best to explain it to her in a way that Elsa could understand.
Elsa nodded strongly, indicating that she understood what Zhou Heng meant.
"If one day I can go to the shore world, I will definitely see everything you said with my own eyes."
"There must be a chance." Although Zhou Heng said that, he thought in his heart, you Draconians are so weak, upon reaching the shore you would definitely be captured by humans for research or exhibitions, where would you get the chance to run around. But of course, he wouldn't say these kinds of words that would ruin the scenery.
Just when the two were talking and laughing, the aqueous membrane above their heads suddenly shook.
"What's going on? Was there an earthquake? " Although it was only at the high school level of geography, Zhou Heng knew that earthquakes would happen underwater, just like on shore.
"No," Elsa lifted her head, "It's father."
"Father? What happened to the Dragon King? " Zhou Heng also raised his head, but other than the overwhelming shadow, he could not see anything else.
"Father is angry." Elsa's eyes gradually widened in fear.
"Is it because of the loss of four Long Zi s?" Zhou Heng asked.
Elsa shook her head.
The dragon king would not treasure his descendants. Layers of white eggs were densely packed on the Dragon King's abdomen. As long as the Dragon King wanted them, it could shoot out these white eggs at any time. And Long Zi was born from these white eggs.
The four Long Zi s were weak because they were originally cheap living beings that could be mass-produced.
