There is no door, looking from the outside, it’s just a pitch-black area.
Zong Shen took out the [Magic Power Flashlight], switched to the first brightness level, and went up the stairs.
As he was about to step into the entrance, he casually drew the [Hammer of Intracranial Roar].
He shone the flashlight towards the interior of the wooden cabin.
Inside the cabin, it was very simple, not even any furnishings.
Only some scattered bone fragments.
In addition, there were some large green leaves resembling banana leaves.
Zong Shen hunched his back and squeezed into the dome-shaped wooden cabin.
Following the mark, Zong Shen unveiled a series of giant green leaves, beneath which a Silver Treasure Chest was hidden.
It seemed to be the collection of the fishman residing in this cabin.
Zong Shen glanced at it, it wasn’t a Trap Treasure Chest.
He simply retrieved it immediately.
He didn’t have time to study the aspects of the Fishman Tribe.
The most important task now was to quickly take care of the north bank.
As for the east and west banks, they would have to be abandoned this time.
He agilely leaped off the doorway onto the ground.
The dimensions of the fishman wooden cabins were very compact, fitting their body sizes.
For a normal human, one would need to stoop to enter.
The next marked point was also nearby.
Zong Shen and his team moved quickly.
This marked spot was also a small dome-shaped wooden cabin.
With clear guidance, Zong Shen found something with just around a few dozen seconds.
It was a Rare Level black fish spear.
It looked much shorter than his [Wind-Fire-Thunder Trident].
Two marked points were resolved, only three to four minutes had passed.
They roamed freely within the Rapids Tribe, surprisingly encountering no fishman sentinels.
According to Zong Shen’s previous scouting, there should have been one to two hundred fishman warriors stationed in the tribe.
It’s unknown whether they were stationed on the east and west banks or if something else was wrong.
Zong Shen originally thought to split forces for efficiency.
However, the Fishman Tribe’s building distribution was extremely chaotic.
All those dome-shaped cabins were made from the same mold.
Even just on the north shore of the lake, there were at least eight hundred dome-shaped cabins.
Without the conspicuous Golden Circle guiding the warriors, even if Zong Shen told them the approximate locations, it wouldn’t help.
In nine out of ten times, it would take more time than going personally.
Thus, Zong Shen’s target was very clear.
As long as the actions were quick enough, it was still possible to make it.
He saved the largest Golden Circle, which was the altar, for last.
His intuition told him that the things there were definitely the best, but there would be many tricks.
Preparing for ten or more minutes might not be enough.
Once stuck here, when the fishman army returns, it would be a tough battle.
Kangnijiya and the others had already cast a round of magic earlier.
Those High Tier Group Attack Magic spells all have several hours of cooling time.
Deploying a second round of magical offense in a short time was impossible.
However, Zong Shen had previously exchanged a considerable number of goblin bombs and powerful magic scrolls.
The value of these items was significant, and Zong Shen had more important uses for them.
Moreover, he had tasted the benefits of taming griffins.
Existences like the Shallow Water Fishmen of the Rapids Tribe.
For other lords, they were just "wild monsters".
But for Zong Shen, their value far exceeded the paltry Experience Value gained from killing them.
Taming was a better method than killing.
The most critical point was that taming wild monsters was highly feasible.
They wouldn’t consume any Command Value.
Furthermore, the future routes and directions for lords precisely involved forming a Mixed State Legion.
These wild monsters were also an important addition to combat power.
Especially now that Zong Shen had an edge in terms of high-end combat power.
Fishmen, with their relatively weak strength but large numbers, were actually beneficial for his future conquests.
Including when he later opened up territories adjacent to water bodies.
Fishmen were an excellent choice for combat power.
Therefore, he planned that since the Rapids Tribe was right here and unlikely to move the entire tribe,
even if he couldn’t manage it this time, there would still be opportunities later.
At least grab the things that could be easily resolved first.
The other small Golden Circles were easy to handle, with no difficulties or thresholds.
They just needed to be found and taken away.
Their steps were hurried, confidently striding through the tribe.
They quickly resolved five small light circles.
It took a total of about twelve or thirteen minutes.
From afar, they could already hear the sound of fishmen swimming.
Because of the large number of dome-shaped cabins blocking them and the nighttime affecting visibility,
they couldn’t see how many fishmen had returned.
However, the swimming sounds were very dense, conservatively estimated to be at least two to three thousand fishmen.
Otherwise, such a noisy splashing sound couldn’t be made.
Now, one small Golden Circle and one large Golden Circle remained.
They were at the location marked by the small Golden Circle.
It was a wooden cabin with a considerable area.
No longer dome-shaped, but rather a rare flat-top.
The roof was covered with many large green leaves.
Aside from a faint fishy smell, there was also a peculiar milky aroma here.
This milky aroma was like heated goat milk, carrying a slight gamey taste.
The fishy smell was not unusual; in fact, the entire Rapids Tribe was filled with a fishy odor.
It was comparable to entering the live fish sector of a market.
But this strange milky smell was unusual.
Zong Shen didn’t have time for thorough contemplation, he quickly strode forward, taking the lead.
This cabin was not only much larger than the usual dome-shaped cabins but also had a higher foundation.
