Chapter 557: High Island in the Sea

The trial destinations of the Datang fleet were placed in Zhongyunzhou and Beiyunzhou, which were relatively "close" to Nanyunzhou.

The straight-line distance from Nanyunzhou to Zhongyunzhou is only more than 1,000 kilometers, and the distance from Beiyunzhou is only more than 3,000 kilometers, and the average speed of the Datang fleet is only two or three days.

Because there are many sea beasts and dace in the Xilu Sea, although the Three Kingdoms of Nanyun know that there are two large islands in the north.

However, due to the fact that large ships could not withstand sea beasts and small boats could not withstand the wind and waves, the communication between the islands was almost zero.

The people of Nagumo learned from the mouths of the long strands of giants floating in the sea.

There is also a country on Beiyunzhou, because the people are all one zhang, so it is called "Zhangren country", and Zhangren country is divided into three tribes: "long strand, long arm, and heel".

Because the Changgu clan is good at cutting boats, they often straddle the long boats made of giant trees and use their feet as oars to go to the sea to fish.

The long-strand people also have a peculiar way of fishing, their legs are both pulp and bait, hanging in the sea water to lure fish to bite.

As soon as a fish comes to bite their feet, they lift their long legs and put them on the boat to catch the fish...... I have to say that the Changgu clan are all werewolves, and the fish in the Xilu Sea, even if they are not those ferocious giant sea beasts, are basically full of fangs, and they are quite desperate to risk being bitten off their toes in order to eat some fish.

Of course, if the long-term family dares to fish in this way, they will naturally not be stupid enough not to take protective measures.

They would hollow out the heart of a tree called "bakelite" on Beiyun Island and put it on their legs.

The bakelite is soft and tough and has many woody meridians, and it is not easy for marine fish to bite through after biting on it, and it is easy to be hooked and difficult to break free, so it has naturally become the catch of the long-strand family.

As the saying goes, how can you stand by the river without getting your shoes wet, so the Changgu clan is also the most often swept away by the waves and currents, while the other two clans are rarely seen on Nanyunzhou.

It is mainly the Changgu people who live by the sea and make a living from fishing.

The long-armed people, on the other hand, live in the forest, and their three-foot long arms allow them to climb and swing from branch to branch to pick fruit.

However, because the arms are too long and easy to drag on the ground, it is very inconvenient for the long-arm people to walk on the ground with their hands raised, so they generally live in large trees, which is probably the appearance of a humanoid version of a gibbon.

Sometimes, the long-strand will cooperate with the long-arm clan, and the long-arm clan will carry the long-arm clan on their backs to catch fish in the shallow waters, and the two sides will share the catch equally.

Or the long-arm people exchange fish for fruits for long-arm people, and the long-arm people exchange fruits for fish for long-arm people, and they get along very well.

However, the heel tribe living in the interior of Beiyunzhou is relatively unsociable, and has little contact with the two ethnic groups.

Compared to the long-strand and long-arm clans, the heels are quite proportionate, but their legs are anti-jointed like beasts.

Moreover, the feet of the heel people are particularly long, and the heels are always hanging when walking, and only the forefoot and toes support the body, this posture makes them always look rickety and tiptoeing.

However, the heel tribe can run and leap very fast, so they can catch up with the fleeing prey on the grassland, and live by hunting every day.

Think about it, those antelopes and other people were about to vomit blood when they ran for their lives, and suddenly found a person next to them smiling and saying to them: "Here comes my brother!" and then the back of the head fell with a mallet, and the mood must be very broken, right?

Judging from the description, the name "Zhangren Country" is a bit of a country that takes advantage of people, although it is called a country,

But in fact, there is no rigorous state system, more like a tribal alliance system, and the civilization is relatively primitive, still stuck in the tribal era of gathering tribes.

Moreover, strictly speaking, the three clans of the Zhangren Kingdom can only be called "elders", not "giants......

The strangest thing is that it is clear that Zhongyunzhou is closer to Nanyunzhou, but the people of Nanyunzhou don't know much about Zhongyunzhou, and they don't see the people from Zhongyunzhou drifting to Nanyunzhou.

I only heard the long-term people of Zhongyunzhou mentioned that there is indeed a "high island" on the sea that is three times the size of Nanyunzhou, towering in the sea, but the waves around the island are fierce and they can't get close at all, and a large group of big birds can be seen circling and falling from a distance, so there should be no one on the island.

How tall is the so-called "High Island"?

According to Nagakuren, "Takashima" is like a pot lid crooked in the sea.

There are thousands of feet on the high side, and there are hundreds of miles on the short side, and the surrounding convex middle is concave, and the terrain is very strange.

According to the weights and measures of the Great Wilderness Realm, the "one hundred" that measures the height is ten, and one is 23 centimeters, which is converted to two meters and three.

Although "Qianren" is only an adjective, it can also show that this strangely shaped high island is indeed very "high".

Not only high, but also dangerous!

Zhongyunzhou is surrounded by vertical cliffs that go straight up and down, and there is no terrain such as sandy beaches and shallow seas, as if it is a pillar growing directly from the sea.

This strange terrain made the Tang army stunned when he heard it, but no matter whether there was anyone on Zhongyun Continent, they still had to go, and the treacherous sea conditions just verified the ability of the Tang fleet to resist waves.

But the Tang army clearly underestimated the danger of the sea.

When the Datang fleet arrived near Zhongyunzhou, before they approached, the small and medium-sized ships in the fleet that were less than 50 zhang could already withstand the waves more than ten meters high, and the ups and downs of the drop.

The villain crew who had only practiced in the calm sea area were all shaken up, and they had no choice but to find an uninhabited desert island nearby to dock, and only send a huge ship that could withstand the wind and waves to explore the way.

But even the giant ship can't get close to Zhongyunzhou, because the high island of Zhongyunzhou seems to have a different peak, but in fact, there are reefs all over the sea.

The small boat couldn't withstand the wind and waves, and the giant ship couldn't get close, which gave Tang Jun a headache.

What's even more amazing is that before the Tang fleet landed on the island, it was attacked by a giant bird entrenched on Zhongyun Continent.

This huge giant bird has a white head and a black body, huge claws are yellow, and the beak is as sharp as a hook.

They dig holes in the cliffs around Zhongyun Island, and the cliffs are densely packed with their nests, and when they fly, it is called a dark cloud that covers the sky and the sun.

This kind of cry will make a dull "hun~hun~" sound, not at all as crisp and loud as ordinary birds, the giant bird is extremely ferocious, even if it is a behemoth such as a giant ship, they dare to attack, but they are shot down a lot by the bed crossbow arranged on the ship.

After throwing down tens of thousands of corpses, these "gangster" giant birds may have felt that these big iron lumps were not easy to gnaw, so they gradually dispersed.
