"The realm of mountains and seas?"

Zhou Ming muttered these three words, but for a moment he was not sure what world this belonged to.

However, he also has a guess.

The world described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas!

But then again, the Classic of Mountains and Seas, as an ancient book, records a bizarre and unimaginable world full of gods, demons, and alien species.

I don’t know how many works are based on the Classic of Mountains and Seas, or refer to the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Just for the characteristic of "the world described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas", Zhou Ming can think of seven or eight different works.

Based on this alone, I'm afraid it's impossible to determine which world this is.

The information on the subsequent challenge missions is even more vague.

Goddess?

There are countless people in the world who take the nickname of Heavenly Girl.

Three artifacts?

The most famous term for this term is of course the three artifacts in Japanese mythology, namely the Tiancongyun Sword, the Eight-foot Magatama and the Eight-foot Mirror.

Although these three artifacts are the most famous under the term "three artifacts", in many myths and legends, there are other combinations of artifacts that are also called "three artifacts".

For example, in Greek mythology, the artifacts created by the Cyclops and the Hundred-Handed Giant for the three Zeus brothers, namely Zeus' lightning, Hades's invisible helmet, and Poseidon's trident, were combined together and were also used.

Called the Three Artifacts.

Let's talk a little closer.

In The Legend of Sword and Fairy, the Fuxi Sword, the Shennong Cauldron, and the Nuwa Jade enshrined by the Shushan Sect are also known as the Three Divine Weapons.

Therefore, these two terms cannot determine what world Zhou Ming is in.

Thinking of this, he closed the panel directly and prepared to find the creatures in this world to get information.

This time, the Lord God's teleportation was not so underworld, it simply teleported Zhou Ming to a mountain.

There was a small village at the foot of the mountain. Zhou Ming's mental energy shrouded it and listened to the conversations of everyone in the village, but he did not get any useful information.

This is normal. If ordinary people in the village chat with each other, that is to say, the parents are short-lived. No one will talk about national affairs or the structure of the entire world.

Speaking of which, this is an ancient-style world without so much good information transmission technology. People in ordinary small villages like this don't even understand the world or even the appearance of the country they belong to. At most

Understand the situation around your village.

However, Zhou Ming still learned the location of the nearby city from their conversation.

Zhou Ming also found something very strange. All the people in this village were women and children, and there was not a single man.

Not even a boy exists.

"Is it because of war recruitment that all the men were recruited?"

Zhou Ming thought of what the main mission said about what kind of disputes were taking place in the mountains and seas, and guessed from this.

The ancient marriage system was not monogamous. On the one hand, it was because men had a higher power status in ancient times. On the other hand, it was also because the ratio of men to women was very unbalanced in many cases, especially during wars.

Because during wars, men are often forcibly recruited and then die on the battlefield, leaving a large number of women left in the country.

Suppose there are 100 million people in the entire country, including 10 million men and 90 million women. If the monogamy system is still followed, it means that 80 million women will be unable to get married.

This obviously doesn't work.

Therefore, during ancient wars, villages like this where all women were present were definitely not common, but they could not be said to be rare either.

Of course, there is another possibility.

"The country of daughters...or the country of women!"

The Kingdom of Women, of course, comes from Journey to the West.

The Kingdom of Women comes from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and is recorded in the Overseas Western Classic and the Great Wilderness Western Classic.

As the name suggests, all the people in the kingdom are women.

If the area where Zhou Ming is currently located is the Women's Kingdom, then it can be determined that this world is the world recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas.

Zhou Ming escaped into the void and appeared at the gate of a city in an instant.

The city gate is heavily guarded, and every soldier is a brave-looking woman wearing battle armor.

The pedestrians coming and going at the city gate are naturally women.

A man like Zhou Ming suddenly appeared at the gate of the city, which naturally attracted the attention of passers-by.

When I looked up, I saw three big characters engraved on the city gate.

Women's country.

In the stories of Shan Hai Jing, there are various strange countries, but these countries are generally relatively small. A city, or even a village, with thousands or tens of thousands of people can call itself a country.

Because of this, the name of the country will be written directly on their cities.

The same situation is also reflected in Journey to the West.

The four masters and apprentices traveled westward and passed through many small countries, many of which were just one city.

For example, this is the case in the country of monks.

Since it is a country of women, it is basically certain that this realm of mountains and seas is the world of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Zhou Ming walked slowly towards the city, and at the same time released his spiritual power to detect information in the city.

Unexpectedly, when he walked to the city gate, soldiers on both sides suddenly stopped him and asked, "Which country are you from?"

Zhou Ming was startled.

Then I realized a problem.

If this is the world of Shan Hai Jing, then it means that there are many strange countries in this world, and the people of each country look strange and have their own characteristics.

To put it into perspective, it is actually a country of women, and it looks the same as the human race.

But they are all women.

In other words, men like Zhou Ming are not only not found in the Women's Kingdom, but may not even be found in the entire Shanhai Realm.

Of course, if there were still normal human races in this world, then this problem would naturally not exist.

However, judging from the attitude of these soldiers guarding the city, there should be no normal human race.

Otherwise, this question would never have arisen.

Because of this, Zhou Ming was somewhat unable to answer this ordinary question.

From this we can see the importance of intelligence. If Zhou Ming understood this world and could have changed its appearance before coming here, then there would not be so many problems.

Seeing that Zhou Ming could not answer, the eyes of the soldiers gradually became sharper.

Zhou Ming felt something was wrong, so he immediately released his skills, superimposing fantasy and spiritual power, instantly covering everyone near the city gate and weaving memories.

And he himself escaped directly into the void, hiding in the cracks of space.

After a moment, everyone at the city gate began to act as usual. The two teams of soldiers returned to the posts they had just stood on, their faces as usual.

In their memories, Zhou Ming never appeared from the beginning to the end, so naturally there was no abnormality.

Zhou Ming wandered in the void, revealing a layer of spatial barriers. Looking at the scenery in the city, he quickly found a dignified and solemn palace, which must have been the palace where the leader of the Women's Kingdom lived.

He entered it, turned around a few times, found the location of the library, and started rummaging around.

Then, he gave up.

Because, I am illiterate.

He can still understand the language spread in this world, but the words are really different and he really can't understand it.

But it doesn't matter, because during this period, his spiritual power also enveloped the whole city, constantly collecting various information, and roughly pieced together the general appearance of this world.

This world, as Zhou Ming guessed, is the world of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, with many countries, each with its own strangeness.

At the same time, there are many strange creatures in this world, some strong and some weak.

However, there are still four countries in this world that do not exist at all in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Qinglong Kingdom.
