Chapter 144 Mermaid
On Blue Star, the distance from south to north of the Ten Thousand Mountains is not even enough to travel from the imperial capital to Jicheng, and the high-speed rail would not even take two hours!
In the game, the elite small team formed by Longshan Sheyi flew for several days on a self-developed "flying boat", with more than half of the crew members killed, before they finally crossed the Ten Thousand Mountains.
It is worth mentioning that in this elite team, there is a player who is gifted and has learned to fly a flying boat! It is said that he is the first player in the server who has learned to fly a flying boat! Of course, the flying boat developed by Longshan Group is much simpler than the styles and designs sold by Guangcheng Sect. Not to mention the appearance, there are no necessary protective formations, training rooms, etc., only a bare boat. If there is any danger in the wild, I am afraid it will not last more than one round! Fortunately, the players are lucky and did not encounter monsters with exaggerated cultivation. This allowed everyone to successfully cross the Ten Thousand Mountains and successfully landed Longshan Port.
Because it is a new city, and a new map explored by players, even though everyone knows that there is nothing yet, many players are queuing up to wait for the teleportation array, and even a new "business behavior" has been temporarily born:
"1 Spirit Stone per time! Delivered to you for sure! Experienced players will lead the team to teleport! Group with me if you need it!"
"I also got 1 Spirit Stone! And it includes a return ticket! Speedy team!"
"You are so mean! I'm cheap! I only want one or two ounces of silver!"
"You have a guilty conscience! I, I, I: I have the lowest price in the server! 500 Wen!"
"I'll charge even less! I'll charge 200 wen! And it includes round trip!"
“No involution!”
"It's obviously you guys who are charging exorbitant fees, right? Who got involved?"
…
The two of them waited in line while watching the gossip on the world channel with great interest.
By the time Shen Yun and Bai Chenxue were teleported over, the barren Longshan Port was already bustling with activity.
A group of players are doing their tasks with great passion, some are cutting trees, some are digging foundations, it seems that they have become addicted to moving bricks!
Shen Yun and Bai Chenxue came here not mainly for Longshan Port, but to go to the beach and inquire about the news of the Quanxian tribe. So they found a place with few people and walked towards the beach.
Just as the monk at the street stall night market in Chang'an City said, most of the Quanxian live alone, or in groups of three or five as family units, scattered in the sea.
The Quanxian tribe is a famous "nomadic people" in the sea. They rarely settle in one place. This means that ordinary people often encounter Quanxian people on the seashore. The legend of "mermaid" also comes from this.
Therefore, although the possibility of encountering the Quanxian tribe on the coast is extremely low, it is not impossible.
At this time, the fiery clouds had faded, the sky gradually darkened, and the dark clouds on the seashore pressed low, making the waves seem to turn gray and black.
The ferocious waves roared from the horizon, crashed onto the beach, and slowly receded in the deep silence, revealing a bunch of reefs in various shapes.
And looking along the receding tide, there is an endless sea.
Looking further away, there were constant flashes of lightning of various colors, which were traces of various calamity clouds and heavenly thunder.
This is also the reason why the monks are so afraid of the ocean - in the deep sea far away from the land, there are always all kinds of calamity clouds and thunders gathering all year round, as if there are countless terrible existences in the sea.
Not to mention the various dangers that might be encountered, even if one were to travel between these calamity clouds and heavenly thunder, one would not dare to be careless without a cultivation level above the Nascent Soul stage.
"There is also a sea in my hometown, but it doesn't look this scary! The design of the sea in "Records of the Ten Continents" is so shocking!"
Bai Chenxue looked at the lightning and thunder from afar and sighed.
Shen Yun nodded and said, "It is indeed stunning! My hometown is not near the sea, but it is near the river. I heard that the famous Qiantang River Tide is also very stunning. However, people always have no scenery when they are close. I have never seen the Qiantang River Tide!" Bai Chenxue asked in surprise, "Huh? You are in Hangzhou?"
"yes!"
Bai Chenxue said happily: "It's not far away! I'm in W City! Do you want to meet me during the National Day holiday?"
Although he had heard from his relatives and friends that Bai Chenxue was also going, Shen Yun still pretended not to know and asked, "Are you going?"
"Of course I'm going! This is a rare opportunity to meet you in person! And it's not far away!"
"If you go, I'll go too!"
"Okay, okay! Let's have dinner together then! Hehe!"
The two chatted and laughed as they approached the beach.
Bai Chenxue caught a glimpse of a small crab that quickly slipped into a crack in a rock. She suddenly became interested and said, "Since it's a rare opportunity for us to come here, why don't we try to catch crabs in the game? It just so happens that I bought ten bamboo baskets yesterday! I can take them to the barbecue restaurant for processing later!"
Shen Yun naturally supported it very much: "Good idea! But I have never been to the sea, so I don't have much experience."
"Okay, okay! Come with me, and I guarantee you'll pick up a lot of money!"
Bai Chenxue patted his chest and took on a lot of things. He pulled out a few bamboo baskets from his backpack and distributed them to Shen Yun. Then he took the lead and walked towards the place where the reef beach had just been washed by the sea water.
In theory, going to the beach to catch seafood requires calculating the tides and only getting something in a specific time period.
But this stretch of coast was completely uncultivated virgin land. Almost every time you lifted a rock, you could see several crabs, the largest of which was as big as a bowl! However, because it was too dark, all the crabs and shellfish were buried in the mud and sand, making Shen Yun like a blind man. He could only watch Bai Chenxue pick up all kinds of harvests quickly and accurately and throw them into the bamboo basket, while he could only make unbelievable sounds again and again.
"Why can't I tell this is a crab!?"
"Oh my god! How do you know there's a shell underneath!?"
"Ah!? Isn't this a stone? How come it's a conch!?"
Such unprecedented sounds continued one after another, giving Bai Chenxue a great sense of satisfaction.
She raised her chin proudly and said, "My grandmother's family used to be engaged in marine aquaculture! When I was a child, I lived with my grandmother and went to the sea with my cousins every now and then! It was so interesting!
"But you know what, I really fantasized about meeting a mermaid at the beach!" Hehe! Thinking about it now, it's still fun! At that time, I liked to imagine all kinds of mermaids on the reefs, and I had to look for good-looking reefs! For example, that one, which is flat and smooth, is very suitable for a mermaid to sit on it!"
At this point, Bai Chenxue pointed to a reef in the distance and was stunned for a moment: "Hey? Wait? I seem to be hallucinating? How come there really is a mermaid on that reef?"
"Well... maybe... it's not an illusion,"
Shen Yun, who had been silent the whole time, swallowed his saliva and said, "That mermaid... no, it's a merman, I saw it too..."
"ha!?"
