Chapter 23: The Origin of Tree Island (Part II)
"So from now on! There are no sea kings in the surrounding area, and people have settled down on Huanshu Island! ”
Everyone was amazed, that is, they sighed at the magic and wisdom of the sacred tree, and they didn't expect the people on the island to come like this!
Their ancestors actually came to Huanshu Island after being shipwrecked in a storm.
I really hadn't thought about it before! I thought I had been living on the island around the tree.
I never thought that the island around the tree was transformed because of a big tree in order to survive.
When Luo Han heard this, his heart was a little touched, even the tree had such a strong desire to survive and become stronger.
Why can't I continue to work hard to survive and become stronger in this cruel sea?
"That's it! Isn't there no meat to eat? All the fish ran away, and only ate the kamaboko powder on the sacred tree, and there was no meat to eat, so it was not very uncomfortable! ”
Cole said in the air in confusion, obviously, for food, I! Cole! Seriously!
Uncle Kate is also laughing!
He replied: "That's why it is said that the Divine Tree is wise, and it has used its roots to dig several underground passages hundreds of meters wide in deep places under the sea.
The exits of these underpasses are far away from Tree Island. Wait until the passage passes through the seabed and enters the seawater, when the fish scale fruit is ripe.
Those fish in the deep sea will naturally follow the smell along these passages to Huanshu Island, and the large sea kings can only destroy the seabed in the distance, and cannot affect the sacred tree.
In the process of coming to Huanshu Island, as the salinity of the sea water drops, these fish and some small sea kings will gradually lose their strength.
But the smell of the fish can make these fish crazy, and that's all!
When these fish reach Huanshu Island, they can only float weakly on the surface of the lake. ”
That's why the Fish Scale Fruit Festival is also known as the Harvest Festival, and everyone thinks of it!
"It is said that when the sacred tree first came out of the sea, its growth was relatively slow in the early stage, and it was also attacked by some sea kings, but it was solved by the people who were shipwrecked on the island around the tree at that time, that is, our ancestors.
Therefore, in order to be grateful, and in order to retain the ancestors, the sacred tree spent several years opening up the channel to attract fish.
In this way, with sufficient food, the ancestors settled down on Huanshu Island completely. ”
"Is this how the rainbow fish is also attracted?" Rhine asked! Everyone is also a little curious about how the rainbow fish came to Huanshu Island! Or freshwater fish!
"Rainbow fish, in fact, it was not called rainbow fish at first, no one knows what it is called. It is only known that the rainbow fish is a very rare fish that can survive in both seawater and freshwater.
It is also attracted by the sacred tree, because it is not affected by fresh water. So at the beginning, it was wasted that the people on the island worked hard to catch it, there were more rainbow fish, and the speed in the water was very fast.
So after many years of catching and catching, I didn't finish catching it, but I settled at the bottom of Shenshu Lake.
It is also regarded as a daily source of meat.
Later, it was found that the rainbow fish actually ate the old skin on the roots of the sacred tree, which could also promote the growth of the sacred tree.
After discovering these phenomena, they don't pay much attention to them, and it can promote the growth of the sacred tree, which is good for the people living on the island.
But if you don't catch it later, you can't catch it, the rainbow fish is very lazy, and if no one botheres you, you can keep eating in one place until there is nothing to eat.
In this way, after eating the old bark of the roots, I ate the roots directly.
The people on the island also had to arrange for people to catch up every day.
Then I found that the rainbow fish had eaten too much of the root bark of the sacred tree, and it actually turned into a rainbow fish in the back, and even the meat and bones inside were glowing with rainbow light. And it has completely become a freshwater fish, and after leaving freshwater, it can only survive in the sea for ten breaths before dying. ”
"Later, the body transformation effect of the fish scale fruit and the energy replenishment of the rainbow fish were also discovered by everyone, and in this way, Huanshu Island and the inhabitants of the island slowly survived until now!"
……
It's been a long time!
Everyone slowly came back to their senses, and there was a different flavor in their eyes when they looked at the sacred tree, as if they had met a new friend and a new partner.
In the future, the Sacred Tree will not only be a magical tree that provides fish scale fruit and fish cake powder, but also a partner who will fight with us.
Watch everyone's expressions change! Uncle Kate had a smile of relief in his eyes, he grew up on this magical island, shouldn't he cherish it and protect it!
Then I looked at Luo Han and Cole! In the future, you will need to protect the island around the tree.
"And what about salt sharks? Captain! The hunter sitting on another ark asked.
The big guys are also puzzled! How did the salt shark come about, no one has noticed it before, it seems that only the salt shark lives in the sea around the island.
Could it be that the salt-eating shark also ate the roots of the sacred tree and gained the ability to live in highly concentrated salt water.
"Salt shark! It was attracted by the salt discharged by the sacred tree. Because the sacred tree has been desalination of seawater, expelling a large amount of salt.
Therefore, salt sharks use Tree Island as a nest, and stay under the island except for going out in groups to hunt sea kings.
That's why we get attacked when we go to pick salt, because it's like we're competing with salt sharks for food. ”
At this time, the ark slowly rowed to the sea thirty kilometers away from Huanshu Island.
After coming here, Luo Han's super-range divine sense began to perceive some large sea kings hidden in the deep sea ten kilometers away.
"That's it! It's almost time to reach the junction of high-concentration salt sea water and sea water! Start patrolling around the islands along the border area, taking care not to exceed a kilometer in front and behind, and notify me if there are sea kings. ”
Uncle Kate also found out, and it was time to remind everyone.
At this time, the slow ark also rowed to the place where the hunting party usually patrolled.
"Uncle Kate, there are no sea kings in the surrounding seas, so how can we hunt sea kings when we come out? And aren't we hunting sea kings? What's going on with the Circumnavigation now? ”
Luo Han looked stunned, and said that he would hunt the sea kings! As a result, when I got here, I was able to hunt sea kings as I went, and now I became a patrol!!
"That's right! That's right! If there are no sea kings, how will there be meat to eat later! ”
Forehead! Cole is still more concerned about whether there is meat to eat a little more! Nothing else is on Kerr's radar.
"Little Luo Han and Little Cole! Don't think that patrolling is so simple, if you are not careful, you will die directly, this is not like fighting with salt sharks to survive, you can be killed in an instant, you have to take it seriously! ”
At this time, a big brother next to him said! It's the same age as Big Brother Rhine.
"That's right! Jack was right! Although the sea area around Tree Island has become a high-concentration salt water area, in the past ten years, there have always been sea kings swaying near the junction area, which should be the group of sea kings who destroyed the sacred tree at the beginning, after all, the large sea kings have a certain amount of wisdom. ”
"Then why don't these sea kings go to Tree Island?" Luo Han asked worriedly, after all, there are always some sea kings around him who can eat half of the island in one bite, so he can't help but worry!
"I guess with you Uncle Witt that with the stability of the Divine Tree, the fish scale fruit has also become a four-year fruit.
Wise sea kings came along the passages of those sacred trees, because there was no breath to lure them crazy. ”
"So when we got to the junction area, we didn't want to go to the high-concentration salt water area to the island around the tree.
It seems to be disgusted with seawater with high concentrations of salt. ”
Uncle Kate told him and Uncle Witt's speculation, it should be like this, otherwise there is no way to explain it.
"So that's the case, that's okay, otherwise Huanshu Island can't afford to resist the destruction of these large or even super-large sea kings." Luo Han breathed a sigh of relief and said, and everyone was also relieved!
"Haha! But the instinct of life will always cause some sea kings to swim across the junction to Tree Island.
At this time, we need to stop it in advance, and we can't let some sea kings pass. Otherwise, the inhabitants of the island will be in danger. ”
Luo Han, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was picked up by Uncle Kate again.
Looking at Luo Han's nervous expression, Uncle Kate said again.
"But don't worry! I don't know if the salt discharged through the sacred tree is specifically for revenge on the sea kings.
It's a little different. Depending on the fact that there is a certain restraint effect on the sea kings, the larger the sea kings, once they enter the high-concentration salt sea area, they will be like a devil fruit ability person touching the sea building stone, and the whole body will be weak. It's just that it's not so serious for the sea kings, and they can still swim slowly.
So we just have to drive away, in the case of not being driven away, that's all! ”
As he spoke, Uncle Kate took out a handful of high-precision white salt. Demonstratively raised his hand into the sea.
"These high concentrations of salt crystals are sprinkled on the sea kings, which are the favorite salt of salt sharks, and then the salt sharks come and eat the weak sea kings.
At this time, the sea kings can only retreat under the threat of life and be eaten by salt sharks. ”
"But blood can also attract the arrival of the sea kings, even madness.
Only salt sharks can calm these large sea kings. After all, salt sharks are specialized in hunting large sea kings in the deep sea, just like a colony of ants on land, once the number increases, lions can only become hunted prey when they meet. ”
Luo Han didn't expect that the salt shark was actually hunting sea kings in the deep sea, and it was still large, which shows how many salt sharks there are under the island around the tree!
"That's it! Although it can be solved! However, it is important to be careful that when sea kings enter areas with high concentrations of salt seas, they often emerge from the surface before burrowing into the sea.
In the process, it eats everything that comes its way. Once swallowed into the belly of the sea king, the chances of survival are infinitely reduced.
And if it is not swallowed and falls into the sea, you must also be careful of the spread of salt sharks. ”
At this time, Uncle Kate reminded.
After that, Luo Han and Cole followed Uncle Kate on patrol all the way!
There were no surprises, and in the evening, everyone returned to Tree Island.
This trip to hunt the sea kings ended perfectly, if it weren't for Uncle Kate's talk about the origin of Tree Island, this afternoon must have been a very boring hunting team debut.
Alas! I thought I could see Uncle Kate's giant secret technique "Hegemony" again! Luo Han thought with some regret.
