Chapter 276 Tailor Shop! The Second Murderer! Tailor! [Seeking monthly pass! ]

Two months later, in autumn,

The storm and tsunami that had been roaring for three months finally dissipated on time. It is hard not to suspect that the four seasons of the Ocean of Storms are actually controlled by some existence.

However, the Ocean of Storms is vast, and it would be impossible to control the climate in such a large area at the same time.

The Ichthyosaur Islands quickly calculated the specific losses and gains:

The losses were not great. Only a few small shelters were breached by the beast tides, which resulted in the loss of some Qi-refining monks and mortals.

All these shelters need to be rebuilt with better building materials, stronger protective formations, and be more solid and durable. The shelters that have not been breached also need to be adjusted and optimized because there will be another beast tide next year. The goal is to reduce the losses year by year.

The benefits are huge.

During the three months of the storm season, there were more than six beast tides. Almost all the monks in the shelters, big and small, actively participated in the battle or assisted in the battle, relying on the formation to fight back and gain a lot.

Once the unorganized and undisciplined first and second level monsters enter the big net of the Ichthyosaur Islands, it is difficult for them to get out. A large amount of materials are piled up in the warehouses of various shelters waiting for further processing, and even exceed the digestion limit of the islands.

These demon corpses will be disassembled in an orderly manner in the autumn.

Among them, materials that can be preserved for a long time and have a certain value will be pulled into the Lin family warehouse for long-term storage, and will be sold when the market rebounds in the future. Although many forces will do this, the larger/more capital-rich forces can hold on to them. Everyone understands this, but the specific situations within different forces are different, and there will always be people who can't bear it.

The flesh and blood materials that cannot be preserved for a long time and have lower value are directly distributed to the residents of the islands and even the wealthy ordinary people at super low prices or even almost for free, helping them to improve their lives and increase their production enthusiasm and happiness.

The rest flowed into the islands' fairy arts industrial system for preliminary processing, and then were transported to Chaochun City via the White Whale to be sold. Unfortunately, the proportion of people in the Yulong Islands who were proficient in fairy arts was still too small, and when there were too many raw materials, they could not be fully digested.

Not only is the production end overcrowded, but even the transportation end is a bit behind. Now, the White Whale alone cannot undertake such a large transportation/escort mission. Not only does the Lin family have to receive the goods themselves, but they also need to help the Zhang family deal with their prey, because the Shield Mountain ship dare not go far away from Yundu Island and needs to guard the headquarters at all times. In the entire Western Regions, there are still many inferior/newly-promoted Jindan forces who have no third-order ships available at home, and they cannot send idle Jindan monks to do business alone. They do not have the ability to sell the goods to Chaochun City, and can only accept the price that is pushed to the extreme by Qianxing City.

Yes, it’s an extremely low price!

The recycling price of many ordinary first-level monsters in the Thousand Star City is now less than 30% of the average price in previous years, and some categories even have a trend of continuing to decline.

"It would be great if the Lin family had another Tier 3 ship!"

The number of Jindan and Jiadan monks in the Lin family is not small now, and it will increase visibly in the future, but the operation model of the White Whale has long been mature, and it also takes the main channel between the two fourth-level immortal cities. Two Jiadan monks are enough to play around, so the White Whale does not need to add more people, but should add a third-level ship! Unfortunately, combat ships are important combat units on the defense line, and functional ships are important production tools for each family. These ships will not be sold easily. As for the major treasure docks in the Thousand Star City, their third-level ship customization orders are all scheduled for decades later. They can only see if they can find a second-hand one. This depends on luck.

It is worth mentioning that as soon as the storm stopped, first- and second-order forces wanted to move to the Yulong Islands one after another. They came from various Jindan forces in the surrounding areas, but they were all worried and had no sense of security in this storm season, and they urgently needed to change their lives.

The Yulong Islands welcome all visitors in the Qi Refining Realm, whether they are individual cultivators or small forces, and continuously fill every corner of the islands with them, but most of the Foundation Establishment forces have been rejected. The more than 20 Foundation Establishment forces that were recruited last time still need some adjustment and digestion, unless the top power of the Lin family continues to be strengthened before they can continue to recruit people.

Lin Qianfan has controlled his curiosity during this period and has never tried the two active functions of the Hanhai Lingyin. At most, he used its passive Haihuan Yingyu to take a look at the distribution of mineral deposits inside the Yulong Islands when hunting monsters. He must always be on guard against Jindan or even Yuanying cultivators who may be investigating in secret.

In order to make his future behavior highly rational, Lin Qianfan used his fragmented free time to study geomancer. It didn't require in-depth study, but it was necessary to understand and supplement all aspects so that he wouldn't be unable to explain the reason if he discovered mineral deposits in the future.

You don't know until you check. After a careful check, you actually found some unexpected gains. There are indeed some undiscovered mineral deposits in the Ichthyosaur Islands.

It has been thousands of years since the Ichthyosaur Islands were first developed, and the local mineral resources in the islands have basically been developed.

Most of the mineral deposits that have not been fully developed today are special mineral deposits that are difficult to mine, but some small and medium-sized hidden treasures have still been found on Haihuan Yingyu, and some are even high-value surprises.

Some of them are very secret and have never been found, while others are new mineral deposits spawned by the recent millennium waves.

However, Lin Qianfan did not bring up this matter on his own initiative. He needed to wait for the right time and then bring it up in a reasonable way so as not to appear abrupt.

Autumn should have been the harvest season, but due to the continuous invasion of beast tides, many industries came to a complete halt. For example, a large number of people who were originally engaged in aquaculture were forced to flow into the archipelago infrastructure and offshore hunting industries.

The infrastructure of the archipelago continues the previous large-scale infrastructure, continuing to reclaim land to create more usable land. This requires a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, and needs to be implemented step by step over a long period of time. It can only be afforded when we are rich, and it will benefit the present and future generations.

In addition, there is the need to rebuild destroyed shelters, repair defective shelters and build new shelters due to the continuous increase in the number of new immigrants to the archipelago.

In addition, the original four major markets in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest of Central also need to be expanded as needed, and the entire infrastructure construction atmosphere is in full swing.

Forces and individuals with stronger personal strength and their own first-level spirit ships joined the offshore hunting team.

Although there are no beast tides now, the density of sea monsters is still quite high. As long as you are brave and not afraid of death, it is easy to hunt them.

Although the current price of fresh fish has dropped significantly, you can still get instant cash when you catch them. These are hard currencies that circulate quickly and give you a sense of security.

…

As long as the disaster continues, the beast tide will not stop. In the northern part of the Storm Ocean, there are constant beast tides that are forced to the vicinity of the human defense line for various reasons and are taken over by the Demon Kings. In this rhythm of offense and defense switching, mutual sharpening, and constant shuffling, time flies and it comes to four years later.

Yanglongwan Wharf Area,

Beep~ "Let's set sail~"

As soon as autumn came, the second-level monsters that were once common near the Ichthyosaur Islands all hid away. Over the past few years, they had figured out that this was a black hole for first- and second-level monsters, and that they would disappear once they entered.

Therefore, in the autumn, there will be no need for the monster hunting ships to guard the headquarters of the Yanglong Bay Monster Hunting Group. A total of twelve monster hunting ships, led by the Hunter, will go to the Yunshang Secret Island to earn the high bounty of the Yunyan Fairy City.

Beep~ Jiu Ye, who has reached the sixth level of foundation building and has finally been established by the family as a new golden elixir seed, is driving the Hunter and taking the lead. Although Jiu Ye does not know any immortal arts, he is a replica of the ancestor Lin Dayan. He is focused enough in his work, and he may be able to replicate the ancestor's path in the future.

The four years have not passed in vain. The diligent and hardworking Lin Qianfan has also reached the third level of foundation building. The time for him to advance from the second level to the third level is even one year earlier than expected. Now he has been in the third level of foundation building for a whole year.

Having experienced enough battles and having a solid foundation, he could naturally digest more second-level fine elixirs without any side effects. The previous elixir production would definitely not be enough, but as Lin Qianling began to mass-produce ordinary second-level elixirs, he could help the Fifth Elder share a lot of tedious pressure.

The fifth elder was able to free up his hands to supply elixirs for cultivation to the Lin family, and as a golden elixir seed, Lin Qianfan had the right to subscribe to high-quality elixirs first, so Lin Qianfan was able to speed up his cultivation progress a little bit.

During these four years, no major events have occurred in the Ichthyosaur Islands. The islands have been steadily improving their foundation through the four seasons by consuming small beasts, absorbing foreign populations, and optimizing their own basic base, thus consolidating the "foundation of the Ichthyosaur Islands."

As for the twelve monster-hunting ships, due to the increase in the production capacity of Yanglongwan Shipyard and Xiancheng Shipyard, as well as the multiple imports of monster-hunting ships from Yundu Island, the domestic demand of the archipelago has been fully met.

Among the twelve ships in the fleet, five are the Hunter, Wind Rider, Sea Hunter of Yanglong Bay, the brand new Heng'an after the replacement of the Myna, and the new ship Chuanliu of Lin Linniu, a new foundation-building monk from Yanglong Bay. Among them, Chuanliu is a new small monster-hunting ship added to Yanglong Bay. Its captain Lin Linniu has steadily made progress and successfully built his foundation at the age of over 50, which is a good example for the majority of boatmen.

The remaining seven ships were all demon-hunting ships of the foundation-building forces under the Lin family. The Lin family did not have only these seven ships, but only these seven chose to follow the Hunter to Yunshang Secret Island.

There are many more ships that followed the Fairy City Lin Family Monster Hunting Group to other hunting grounds. In fact, there are more than twenty monster hunting ships under their command, which can be said to have developed into a relatively mature economic industry.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

As the Yanglongwan Monster Hunting Group gradually approached Yunshang Secret Island,

There was no ship from outside the area on the way, which was in stark contrast to the lively scene that everyone liked to come here before.

"Who would have thought that it has only been a few years since the Yunshang League moved away, and the Yunshang Secret Island has already declined to such an extent."

"Yes, the new business alliance has quite a few Jindan monks, a total of twelve, but they played a good hand badly. Now it is difficult to run the business as well as before."

"I originally thought that the millennium wave would only make the strong stronger and the weak weaker, but the rules are obviously not like that. Look, the Zhang family can eat meat from us, and now they have a hint of prosperity, while the newly formed new business alliance is already in decline."

"This also fully proves that having a dictatorial big guy in an alliance is not necessarily a bad thing. The New Business Alliance cannot achieve a high degree of unity in opinions, and sooner or later it will be eliminated!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down!"

"Let's just talk behind closed doors. I understand you outside!"

The Yanglongwan Monster Hunting Group naturally did not come to Yunshang Secret Island to catch red giant scales. According to the current situation, it is hard to say whether the red giant scale species will still exist after the beast tide is completely over.

This time, the New Business Alliance issued a mission to assist them in clearing out the second-level monster tribe in the "near-sea zone around Yunshang Secret Island". The price was very high, and an invitation letter was sent to the Lin family alone. This was how they were able to attract the Yanglong Bay Monster Hunting Group to come from such a long distance.

As for why they had to pay someone to do this job, it was of course because their own second-level forces were already seriously stretched.

The Yunshang Secret Island is too big, and the New Merchant Alliance was not well prepared in the early stage of the Beast Tide. It was even unwilling to invest heavily to make up for its losses, and it was unable to unify internally at the critical moment, resulting in serious damage to the Yunshang Secret Island. The mortals on the Yunshang Secret Island suffered huge losses, and the total population decreased rapidly. This dealt a devastating blow to the pyramid structure of the Yunshang Secret Island. It may not be visible now, but in a few years, the extreme shrinkage of the number of newly enlightened monks will be reflected.

The first-rank forces and independent cultivators of Yunshang Secret Island also suffered heavy losses. Their proud identity as Yunshang Secret Islanders did not provide any special benefits when facing natural disasters and beast disasters. Monsters would not look at your identity card or birthplace when eating people, and they were extremely disappointed with the new Merchant Alliance. The five major immortal cities were overcrowded, forcing a large number of independent cultivators of Yunshang Secret Island to evacuate with their families and join the surrounding Jindan forces with better reputation.

In addition to population loss, family deaths were also serious.

Inevitably, there would be casualties in battle, and the continuous beast tides would inevitably consume the manpower of the New Merchant Alliance, including their own manpower. However, it often takes decades to train a mature cultivator, so the seven major families are all in decline to varying degrees.

As a result, it is impossible to even independently and orderly eliminate the second-level monster tribes that have taken root in the near-sea area around the Yunshang Secret Island.

That's right, they have taken root. For these second-level beasts, the area around Yunshang Secret Island is too safe.

There is no threat from the third-level demon king here, and the new business alliance can't do anything to them. As long as they occupy the second-level spiritual veins, they can continuously strengthen their own tribe by absorbing the beast tide.

Yunshang River, Haikou Market,

Compared to the huge crowds of demon-hunting monks and demon-hunting ships of different sizes a few years ago, this place has declined a lot. It is even completely closed during the storm season to avoid the invasion of demon beasts.

Some unpleasant things had happened here before, so the fleet passed by without any stopping.

Going upstream along the Yunshang River,

Some fortifications were built outside the human settlements along the coast, but they were too simple compared to the high-quality shelters that the Lin family was willing to spend a lot of money to build, and many of them were breached.

"Can these crude and obsolete formations really stop the tide of small beasts? Even if there is no second-level monster commanding them, the disorderly attack will easily crush them, right? Are they all relying on human flesh to resist?"

"So what if we can't stop them? You have to understand that not every Jindan power will treat the independent cultivators as their own people. On the contrary, in the eyes of some people, independent cultivators are just livestock, slaves, and low-level resources that can be dominated at will. This idea is correct to a certain extent, but only to a certain extent. Perhaps there will be a backlash soon."
