Unlike the Sharkman, the Naga's fertility was not strong and their infancy period was too long. It was difficult for their young to reach adulthood. In order to protect their young, as an amphibious creature, the Naga liked to settle in the shallow waters near the shore.
They especially liked to build their nests in shallow bays and lagoons.
The Naga would make use of this terrain to build sea walls and seal off the lagoons or bays to defend against powerful ocean predators. In the direction of the shore, the Naga would dig a circle of deep trenches near the shore to prevent sneak attacks from the creatures on the shore.
Because of their communal lifestyle, the Naga could not chase after schools of fish. The amount of food in the coastal waters was limited. In order to survive, the Naga would form hunting teams to hunt in the distant waters. They would even go ashore and hunt near the shore. On the other hand, the Naga would plant some crops in the sea as a supplement for food.
There were a few Naga tribes around Hunter Island.
The Sea Giant was not a giant in the sea, but a rare giant mermaid.
If the Sharkman was a fish that looked like a human, then the Mermaid was a human that looked like a fish.
Other than having humanoid limbs, the Sharkman's head, scales, and fins showed that they were a different kind of fish.
The upper body of the Mermaid was very similar to that of a human. They had a human body, a human head, and a human face. Only their lower body had a fish tail.
The Sea Giant was such a Sharkman. Their upper body was like a very strong giant human with blue-green skin. Their lower body was a huge slender fish tail.
The Sea Giant's body was close to ten meters long. Just their humanoid upper body alone was three meters long.
Different from their Mermaid cousins in the Northern Continent, the Sea Giant was a very violent creature.
An adult Sea Giant was a powerful water magic creature of level 12 or 13. They could easily raise huge waves and overturn ships.
Although there were not many Sea Giants, they were a great threat to ships at sea.
Most of the Sea Giants were in small settlement groups tied by blood. They chased schools of fish and hunted everywhere. It was easy for them to encounter ships at sea and hard to defend against.
The Intelligent Cuttlefish was a giant cuttlefish with high intelligence. This cuttlefish's body length could reach twenty meters. Their intelligence was comparable to that of humans. They even had their own unique language.
When the Intelligent Cuttlefish reached adulthood, they would have a creature level of around level 17. They also had a natural magic ability.
Fortunately, although the Intelligent Cuttlefish was powerful, it was a lone wolf and would not form a group. Moreover, this kind of cuttlefish usually moved in the deep sea and rarely surfaced.
Snake dragons were said to be a branch of dragons, but they didn't look like dragons at all. This kind of creature looked more like a giant snake with a dragon's head.
The only difference between them and snakes was that they had a pair of sharp claws under their necks. These claws were not used for swimming or walking. They were their weapons.
An adult Draconic Snake could grow up to 80 meters long, and its Challenge Rating in the water was as high as Level 17. An adult Red Dragon's Challenge Rating was only Level 15.
What was even more frightening was that adulthood was only a small part of the growth process for Snake Dragons. It was far from reaching the peak of their strength. The number of Legendary Snake Dragons in this sea was definitely not small!
It was these ferocious sea creatures that limited human migration in this archipelago.
In the southeast of the Mediterranean Sea, there were only twenty or so relatively large islands, including Hunter Island, that had human activities.
According to Qiankun Pagoda's investigation, there were more than 500,000 human tribes living on these twenty or so islands that had a total area of millions of square kilometers.
Feng Chou planned to conquer all of these people and gather them on Hunter Island.
With an area of more than 100,000 square kilometers and a superior environment, Hunter Island could accommodate millions of people if it was fully developed.
If he could get 500,000 people and completely develop Hunter Island, Feng Chou would have the confidence to cross the Mediterranean Sea and conquer the large islands there. On those islands, there were city-states and kingdoms with hundreds of thousands of people, and powerful demigod-level creatures!
Of course, before that, Feng Chou first had to solve the problem of how to cross the dangerous sea.
When conquering the islands around Hunter Island, Feng Chou did not plan to provoke the powerful sea creatures. He planned to use Qiankun Pagoda as a transportation tool to conquer and rob the people on those islands.
Feng Chou mostly left the task of conquering the small tribes to Qiankun Pagoda and his generals. He devoted most of his energy to research.
In fact, after conquering Hunter Island, Feng Chou spent most of his time in the arcane tower in Qiankun Pagoda's small world, leaving the trivial matters of building the territory to Qiankun Pagoda. In fact, Qiankun Pagoda was far better at these things than Feng Chou.
The goal of Feng Chou's research this time was divinity!
In the process of conquering Hunter Island, Feng Chou's income, other than the population, was divinity.
In the process of conquering dozens of tribes on Hunter Island, in addition to the six larger tribes by Hunter's Lake, Feng Chou also found seven tribes with divine totems in other small tribes. These seven tribes had the characteristics of being larger in scale and having a longer history.
From these eleven tribes, Feng Chou collected a total of four points of Strength Divinity, three points of Hunting Divinity, three points of Killing Divinity, two points of Thunder Divinity, two points of Combat Divinity, one point of Storm Divinity, one point of Death Divinity, and one point of Luck Divinity.
After some research, Feng Chou found that Hunting Divinity and Killing Divinity were actually the same kind of divinity. It was just that one was more inclined towards tracking, and the other was more inclined towards killing.
Strength Divinity and Combat Divinity were related divinities. The two could coexist and be compatible with the same divinity.
Thunder Divinity and Storm Divinity were also related.
Not only could Death Divinity and Killing Divinity coexist, but they could also be integrated. After integration, the Hunting Divinity would be more inclined towards Killing Divinity.
Divinity of Hunting could be separated into Divinity of Slaughter and Divinity of Tracking, and Divinity of Slaughter and Divinity of Death could be interchanged. Feng Chou discovered that the so-called Divinity of Slaughter was just a variant of Divinity of Death. It was a very special aspect of Death.
As the research went deeper, Feng Chou's understanding of divinity became deeper and deeper.
This was a world where spirit could change matter, and divinity was the manifestation of the rules of this world. You could see divinity as a special license issued by the will of the world due to the expectations (spirit) of intelligent creatures. As long as you obtained this license, the will of the world would unconditionally open the rules of the corresponding direction and the right to use the rules to you.
The more divinity there was, the stronger the effect of the license. When divinity reached ten points, the divinity would be able to obtain the right to use the rules of the world at the bottom level, and the one who obtained this right would be a demigod.
The divinity continued to increase, and when it reached one hundred points, it would produce a higher level of authority. Perhaps that was the node of godhood. Of course, this was just Feng Chou's speculation based on the results of his research.
