Or Jiao Ren. In fact, there are subtle differences between coke and shark in constellation, living habits and social system. For example, terrans on land are divided into farming and nomadism, which is only introduced as the same race here.

(Original painting setting: Zhang Wang)

Distribution:

Living in the sea, a few rivers and lakes connected with the sea, including underground lakes, also have a small amount of Jiao Ren, mainly depending on the water depth and water quality. Jiao Ren doesn't want to live in dirty water.

Breeding:

The average life expectancy is seventy years. Viviparous, multiple births, six months pregnant. But only in August and September every year can you get pregnant, and most babies are born in February. Jiao Ren Jr. was born in an airbag. A few hours later, the airbag burst and he could swim. However, there are many natural enemies in the sea and the survival rate is poor. So the speed of racial reproduction is still lower than that of human beings.

Appearance:

The human body has a tail, a slender streamline, a good figure, similar to human beings, and a little tall and thin. However, according to legend, Jiao Ren is an ancient race. They use magic to change their physique and hide in the water to avoid the disaster of war. It is also said that a fisherman met a fairy in the sea and was turned into a servant, but no one knows what the real origin of Jiao Ren is, and this legend will always be a legend. Jiao Ren, the man has horny fins on his back and the woman is transparent and soft, so the man looks fierce and the woman is feminine.

Jiao Ren has hair and all kinds of colors. For the needs of labor and fighting, the lower-class men in Jiao Ren have shaved their hair and tattooed their heads since childhood. Women are tied tightly or put on hats. Men's hair in Jiao Ren is usually the symbol of nobility and gentlemen.

Que: Cloaks, belts and other clothes are made of smooth aquatic plants or a special fabric called Que (made of bubble film of snapper mixed with fish scale powder and fish oil, which is extremely smooth and does not absorb water).

Men in Jiao Ren usually have the same skin as human beings, but when they meet enemies, they will quickly turn into fighting physique, forming hard scaly skin outside their bodies, just like wearing armor. Women don't have this ability.

Aquatic constitution

If Jiao Ren wants to go ashore, he must first transform his legs with magic. This is a difficult and long process, which takes about seven to fifteen days. If he accelerates the transformation, it may cause harm. Still can only take a bus. Under normal circumstances, people who haven't changed their physique can't survive outside the water for more than a day. After landing, you must take medicine every day and spend several hours recovering in the water. Moreover, if the influence of non-seawater is not recovered well, it will affect health. The longer you stay out of the water, the weaker your body will be. Taking drugs for a long time will damage your health and shorten your life. But there are many things that Jiao Ren is willing to explore on land, so sometimes Jiao Ren's secret stronghold can be found in the deep pools of the Great Lakes. Legend has it that Jiao Ren has a strange way to make people breathe and live in the sea, but at the same time it will shorten their life span, but no one in the Terran knows this secret method.

Language:

Jiao Ren used a singing language to convey information in a chorus tone in the sea, so that it could spread far in the sea. When approaching, language communication also uses the fast audio produced by laryngeal bone vibration. Other races are extremely difficult to understand. Most people don't understand human language. When people hear strange songs overseas, they know that they have met Jiao Ren.

Food:

Jiao Ren mainly feeds on fish, supplemented by edible plants in the sea.

* society:

Underwater cities are built by using the buoyancy of the seabed to mine stones and planting fast-growing coral organisms with scaffolding. There are about 1000 people in a medium-sized city of Jiao Ren. There are nearly a hundred people in the ordinary village. Jiao Ren often migrates with the trend of marine fish and warm current, once every ten years on average, leaving an empty city. Other hunting tribes in Jiao Ren weave houses and nests with aquatic plants and float on the sea. There will be hundreds of such grass nests in a tribe.

Some cities use a hollow pedestal and column wall made of sea lime, and light-colored marine plants to build houses, so that they can also float in the sea, which is conducive to migration.

Part of Jiao Ren, due to the combination of tribes, increased productivity, occupied a good ocean current zone, began to domesticate fish and marine plants, formed a settled life, and a country appeared, and no longer migrated. Jiao Ren is basically a city country.

Jiao Ren has a king. Both men and women can be kings, hereditary system. There is an official system and a small number of standing guards, but during the war, the army was temporarily transferred from the nationals. Ministries have ministers to handle affairs, and citizens are divided into citizens and slaves. Slaves are made up of criminals, aliens and prisoners of war. The main way for them to get rid of slavery is to seize property and redeem themselves or make meritorious deeds in the war. But the army is also limited, and the main force of Jiao Ren's fighting at sea is carnivorous fish. There are special sea whisperers (mages) who use exorcism spells. After a war, the sea is red.

Jiao Ren is rich, and there may be differences among countries, such as starfish, turtle shells and so on. But the most common is a rare golden pearl with the same diameter, which is difficult to cultivate artificially, and is called Zhu Ming. Because it is rare, they also use the live shellfish that already contains this kind of pearl in the sea, which is called He Hui, because the pearl has not finally grown, and some of them are similar to advance payment. Some sharks, close to humans, trade with Terrans by the sea, barter, and sometimes accept rare Jiao Ren currency on land. There are also some sharks or Jiao Ren people who have close contact with people who have something to stay on the shore and use human money.

Interacting with races on the ground:

Many people in Jiao Ren regard the waters as their own territory. They hate other races swimming or sailing in the water, because they think the ground is a filthy world and the races on the ground will pollute the water. Therefore, Jiao Ren often attacks sailing ground races, which greatly hinders the development of maritime civilization in ground races. Jiao Ren often appears in the Three Seas of Kyushu. Jiao Ren doesn't need a bow, only uses a fishbone crossbow or a hydraulic catapult. The underwater range is close, less than 100 feet, but it can reach dozens of feet when it is launched outside the water, hitting people on distant ships. But the hydraulic catapult is inconvenient to use on land, because it can't be launched again without water injection.

However, with the increase of inter-ethnic contact and understanding, some tribes in Jiao Ren began to become friendly. Terrans hold a sea sacrifice ceremony, and after washing the boat with wine, they can go to sea. During the voyage, the sailors kept spilling wine into the sea. When Jiao Ren smelled the wine on board, he stopped attacking. Of course, not all tribes in Jiao Ren are like this.

Jiao Ren and Terran can intermarry, but it is extremely difficult to have children. Even if there is, children are terrans. Although they were also born in airbags, they no longer have the physical characteristics of Jiao Ren. If they were born in water, airbags would drown. Jiao Ren's marriage with other races is based on racial marriage.

Most of the communication between Jiao Ren and the ethnic groups on the ground is seaside trade, or fishermen sail to coral reefs in the sea. Because there are Jiao Ren in the three seas of the earth, it is not surprising that people on land are becoming more and more familiar with Jiao Ren. Jiao Ren is good at spinning an extremely thin silk called ragweed from raw materials in the sea. It is light and tough, and its surface is extremely smooth. Used in marine architecture and clothing. In Kyushu, this is an extremely precious silk fabric. Legend has it that the occasional "mirage" at sea is the market where Jiao Ren sells and exchanges this limp. Anyone who can go can buy this kind of baby. In fact, a mirage is the result of Jiao Ren tribe's magic and fog rising to the surface. There are many reasons why Jiao Ren tribes appear on the water, such as offering sacrifices to the stars, being caught by the rising current, avoiding the seasonal dangerous cold current in the deep sea, or using the stars to predict the direction when moving.

Because some tribes are willing to trade with the ground race, and some hate the ground race, going to Jiao Ren is as dangerous and attractive as a mirage.

Another legend says that when Jiao Ren cried sadly, the tears she shed were beautiful pearls. In fact, this is the crystallization of Jiao Ren's tears when he cried. Due to the composition of Jiao Ren's body fluid, it will quickly condense in water and air after leaving the body. When Jiao Ren is on land, he often cries because he can't touch water. The vast majority of Jiao Ren's tears are fragile, mixed with colors and worthless. However, in some cases, such as the power of stars or the influence of special physique and mental state at that time, one in ten thousand may condense into a pearl-like treasure that is not fragile and shining. Therefore, Jiao Ren himself is regarded as a gift from heaven. It is said that shark beads can improve people's perception of nature spirituality. Legend has it that when Jiao Ren cried on a full moon night, the rolling shark beads were particularly round; When the moon is short of horns, shark beads are grotesque, which may be an example of the influence of stars on Jiao Ren with corresponding physique.

Even though Jiao Ren used magic to train his legs, he was still not good at walking on the ground. Even if Jiao Ren occupies this coastal city, it will not occupy it, because it will be uninhabitable unless seawater is introduced and injected into it. Because Terrans believe that the ancient city under the Mediterranean has a lot of treasures, people often venture into the territory of Jiao Ren, and some evil people even think of expelling Jiao Ren. Of course, there are also some Jiao Ren-speaking people who think about how to make the sea water rise and clean the world.

Almost the only land stronghold in Jiao Ren, Fujian and Zhongshan are located in the center of the Three Seas. There is a big lake leading to the sea in the mountains, which is one of the common places in Jiao Ren. It is also the legendary place where Chinese and American Jiao Ren and treasures gather, and it is the dream place of countless wild navigators.
