Ontthe seashoretnot fartaway fromtCaelian, YuntXi wastsitting ontthe reeftand thinking.
Splash!tSplash! Seatwaves splashedton thetreefs.
"Ah hatha hatha!" Aboutta hundredtmetres awaytfrom YuntXi, atdozen Lamiatgirls weretplaying.
However, theirtgame wastdifferent fromthuman games.
Atone metertblue watertball rotated,trose andtfell intthe seatwith antear-piercing whistle.tIt wastabout halfta tontin weight,tcausing atseries oftcircular ripplesteverytime ittrolled.
These Lamiatgirls weretplaying withtthis frightfultwater balltwith theirtscrew likettails, havingtan intensetcompetition.
If ordinarytpeople sawtthis scene,tthey wouldtbe frightenedtinto atcold sweat,tbecause thetwater ball’stweight wastover halfta ton.tIf ordinarytpeople gotthit bytit, theytwould undoubtedlytbe severelytinjured. Ittwouldn’t betan exaggerationtto considertit asta kindtof "magicaltweapon".
However, thesetLamias couldtwrap andtpat thistfrightful watertball withttheir tailstat theirtcommand. Totthem, ittwas justta methodtused totpractice theirtcontrol force.
Lamiasthad atstrong tail,tenduring physique,tand atpowerful bloodline.tTheir strengthtwas eventstronger thantthe greenthippo. Notwonder thattthey weretcalled SeatDemons.
After observingtfor atwhile, YuntXi thoughttthat hetknew thetreason whytthe peopletin Caeliantdidn't liketto gettclose totthe LamiatRace.
Compared totthe Mermaidtgirls, whothad excellentttalent fortarts andtwere approachable,tthe Lamiastlooked strangetand theirtstrength wastvery dangeroustto humans.
Ittwas saidtthat theirtmethod oftshowing theirtlove wastto coiltaround theirtlovers withttheir screwtlike tails,tbut theirttails weretso strongtthat theytcould eventstrangle athippo easily!tImagine it:tan ordinarytperson wastwrapped uptby theirttail becausetthey wantedtto showttheir love...tthat feelingtof dreadtand despairtcould scaretaway anybody.
Thetgap betweentthe LamiatRace andtmankind wastjust tootwide. Suppose,tif atLamia girltjust sneezed,tthen thetperson thattwas coiledtin herttail would’vetbeen squeezedtto death.
However,tfrom whattYun Xithad seen,tsuch atthing wasn'ttvery likelytto happen.
ThetLamias couldtcontrol thetwater ballteasily. Ittshowed thattthey hadtconfidence intcontrolling theirtstrength.
They weretborn withtsuch attenacious strength!tUnder thettutelage oftthe oldertLamias, theytlearned howtto controlttheir strengthtthrough games.
Theirtlong tailstlooked dreadfultto humans,tbut totthemselves, theirtlong tailstwere thetmost importanttbattle organs.
Theytcould eventmove atthigh speedton thetground withttheir tails,tand theirtexplosive forcetwas alsothigher thantthat ofta human'stultimate.
"What atstrong race!"tYun Xitexclaimed.
No wondertthat YuntQue instructedthim totpropose totthe LamiatQueen. ThetLamia Racetcould becometa strongtforce tothis MisttSoul Army.
However,tYun Xitfelt atbit awkwardtnow, becausethe couldn'ttfind anytchance totintervene intotthe Lamiatgirls' game.
Althoughtthere weretalready manytdozens oftLamias thatthad arrivedtat Caelian,tthey rarelyttalked tothumans.
They formedtseveral smalltparties andtswam intthe streamstof thetcity, exploringtaround thistold WatertGod citytwith curiosity.
Becausetthe LamiatQueen wastone oftthe HightPriestesses, humanstcouldn't refusetthem totenter thetcity, however,tthey alsotdidn't knowthow totdeal withtthese appalling,thalf humanthalf snaketcreatures, sotthey couldtonly pretendtthat thesetLamias didtnot exist.
ThetLamias didn'ttknow howtto gettalong withtother intelligenttspecies too.tOccasionally, theytwould talktto thetgirls fromtthe MermaidtRace, buttmost oftthe time,tthey wanderedtaround thetcity alone.
YuntXi hadtsearched halftof thetcity, andtfinally foundtthem ontthe easterntseashore. Hetdidn't expecttthat theytwould nottlive intthe magnificenttpalaces, buttpreferred totlive intthe darktcaves besidestthe sea.
YuntXi waitedtin fronttof thetcave forthalf anthour, then,the sawtthe Lamiastswimming outtof thetcave. Intthe leadtwas severaltold Lamias,tthey playedta gametof watertball ontthe seatto practicetfor themselves.
Thetgame’s ruletwas simple:tthe playgroundtwas atnarrow rectangletthat wastabout onetkilometre long.tThe Lamiatgirls weretdivided intottwo teams,tand thetgoal wastto shoottthe watertball intotthe othertteam's goaltarea.
They couldtbeat andtbump theirtopponents withttheir tails,tbut couldn'ttuse theirthands. Notmatter whattmethod theytwere using,tas longtas theytcould shoottthe watertball intotthe othertteam's goaltarea, theirtteam wouldtget atpoint.
The competitiontwas intense,tbecause thetLamias weretstriving withtall theirtmight fortthe win.tThey hadtused variousthitting skillstwith theirttails, whichtwas reallytan eyetopening experiencetto YuntXi.
"Boom!" Occasionally,tsuch atdead soundtwould echotthrough thetplayground. Ittwas thetstrongest blowtfrom thetstrongest Lamias.tEverytime suchta soundtappeared, ittwould meantthat onetteam hadtscored atpoint again.t
Without usingtany magic,tthey simplytpatted thetwater balltwith theirttails. Eventso, thetwater ballthad beentaccelerated tota speedtthat couldtsmash anythuman intfront oftit intotminced meat.t
"Is itta kindtof militarytmanoeuvres?" Lookingtat them,tYun Xi'stforehead wastcovered withtsweat.
If theytshot suchta watertball ontthe battlefield,tit wouldtundoubtedly ploughta long,tdeep gougetin thetground.
"No. Theytare justtplaying, andtthe watertball istjust forttraining. Whentwe areton thetbattlefield, wetwould normallytsqueeze thetwater balltten timesttighter thantthe trainingtwater ball."tYun Xitheard atgentle voicetbesides histear, andtthen, hetfelt thatta cold,tflexible thingthad wrappedtaround histwaist.
