Chapter 137: Exploring the Deep Sea for the First Time

Yang Yi returned to Ratchet Village from the water forging house by the sea, although the water forging master promised to work hard to forge the clam shell shield, but he was the only water forging master in the village, and it would take too long to forge a clam shell shield that was enough for the equipment of the Fishman Brigade.

Yang Yi took a mussel shell shield and came to the level 3 tannery in the village.

The tannery is a universal building, and after upgrading to level 3, it is already a large earth and stone house of more than 200 square meters. Yang Yi walked in, and there were more than twenty fish-man tanners and tanning apprentices busy in the tannery.

The Fish-Man Clan's talent in leather-making is also very average, although it is not as difficult as the Fish-Man to become a blacksmith, but none of the Fish-Man tanners in the village have been promoted to high-level tanners after such a long time. At present, the talent of several intermediate fish-man leather makers is not very high, none of them have talents related to leather making, and only a few have similar dexterous hands, craftsmanship and other specialties.

After Yang Yi, the village chief, walked in, the fishman in the tannery immediately stopped what he was doing and said hello to the village chief.

Yang Yi asked the fishman to continue to do things, and only called one of the intermediate fishman tanners over. This mid-level fish-man tanner has the expertise of "dexterous hands (b)" and "meticulous (c)" and is currently the best fishman tanner in the village of Ratchet.

"There's a clam shell shield here, let's see if we can add a layer of armor to this shield." Yang Yi instructed the fishman tanner, and he handed over the clam shell shield he had brought to the other party.

"Yes, village chief.".

The Fishman Cobbler took the clam shell shield with both hands, and without saying a word, he placed it on a large table, and then took a large stack of medium-sized armor pieces.

Armor pieces are usually used to mount breastplates, leggings, and other defensive equipment to increase the defensive power of the equipment, and this kind of installation does not require too complicated skills.

The Fishman Leather Maker took out his tanning tools and began to try to coat the clam shell shield with a layer of armor.

Yang Yi, who had nothing to do, walked around the tannery. The Fishman tanners here are basically producing armor pieces and some low-level leather gear.

Because there are no good fish-man tanners, the tanneries in Ratchet Village are unable to take the high-end route, and have always been mainly producing leather armor pieces and low-grade leather suits of ordinary quality. These armor pieces and leather sets are rarely used by the fishmen in the village, and are mainly used for external sales, relying entirely on small profits and quick sales to make money.

Nearly an hour later. The Fishman Leather Maker has finally succeeded in coating the clam shell shield with a medium armor sheet, and the leather clam shell shield looks a bit nondescript.

Yang Yi took the shield and knocked it twice with his hand, the shield made a dull sound, and it felt good.

【Ordinary water-forged hard-shell mussel shield】

[Quality: Normal]

【Shield】

[Level: Level 1]

[Remarks: Equip medium armor pieces to increase defense]

"It's still a Tier 1 normal quality shield, but the Medium Armor Piece has increased its defense. The defense of this shield should be close to the level of a level 2 shield. ”

Yang Yi praised the fishman tanner when he saw that it was feasible to attach armor pieces to the mussel shell shield, and then he left the tannery.

"At present, it is still far from enough to rely entirely on the fishmen in the village to make shields, the Kokar centaurs will come back at any time, and at present, you still need to spend some money to buy some shields and come back to equip a team of battle fishes first." Yang Yi thought that for the time being, he still had to rely on purchasing equipment from outside to make an emergency, but the village had finally started forging shields, and after a while, he should be able to be self-sufficient.

The tannery is located on the edge of the square in the center of the town. When Yang Yi walked out of the tannery, the old blind man happened to come to the square with the fishman who cleaned up the battlefield.

The fishmen who were in charge of cleaning up the battlefield were each carrying several pieces of equipment, which were all trophies captured on the battlefield.

"Lord." The old blind man ran over after seeing Yang Yi, and he reported: "Lord, a total of one hundred and fifty longbows have been seized, as well as nearly two hundred spears, axes and other melee weapons. ”

"Very good, put away the equipment you don't need first, and sell a goblin merchant one day." Yang Yi said.

Centaurs are tall and big. The longbows, spears, axes, and other weapons they use are not suitable for the Fish-People, and these weapons can only be sold.

"Lord, what about those centaur captives?" The old blind asked.

"Kill them all, and then cut off all of them." Yang Yi said fiercely.

The centaur race is cruel and fearless, even to its own people, and to them a captured tribesman is no different from a dead man. It was useless for Ratchet Village to keep these centaur captives, so Yang Yi directly ordered them all to be killed.

There is still a bounty on the Kokar centaurs at the crossroads, and the left ear of these centaurs is the voucher for receiving the bounty. The fishmen of Ratchet Village don't go to the crossroads, but they can sell the ears of these centaurs to the Pioneers or Goblin Traders.

The old blind man arranges for the fishmen to deal with the captive centaurs, and the minotaur Bane and Jerek also come over at this time.

"The head of the Ratchet Fishman Village. Taking advantage of the Centaur's defeat, we plan to take another trip to Thundering Peak with a pacification potion. Jerrick said.

"I'll go straight to the crossroads after pacifying the Kodomon, this time we're here to say goodbye." Bane continued.

"This is leaving?" Yang Yi thought that the task of keeping the two minotaurs was really unreliable, and he said: "These irascible Kodo beasts also have something to do with our Ratchet Village, let me take the fishmen of Ratchet Village to accompany you to Thundering Peak." lest the centaurs come out again and make trouble. ”

Yang Yi wanted to go to Thundering Peak with the two minotaurs, and the two minotaurs knew that Yang Yi was worried that they would be attacked by centaurs again, so they did not refuse.

There are six egg-laying valleys on Thundering Peak, and now the eggs of Kodo have been hatching for more than two months. Originally, the Kodomons gathered here at this time were going to leave with their cubs, but at this time, the irascible adult Kodomons were still hovering under the Thundering Peak.

Jerek seems to have a natural affinity for Kodomon, and he can slowly walk up to the irascible Kodomons and feed them a pacifying potion.

Jerek stroked the Kodomon's head with his hand, and the calmed Kodo herd began to take their cubs out of the egg-laying valley of Thundering Peak for their long journey.

The Kokar centaurs seem to have taken refuge in their camp after their defeat. At the end of the day, the fishmen of Ratchet Village followed the two minotaurs through the valley where the Kodommon lay eggs, and they succeeded in calming down all the grumpy adult Kodomon.

Bane and Jerek leave, and Yang Yi and the Fish-People of Ratchet Village return to Fish-Man Village.

This trip to Thundering Peak was still a big gain for Ratchet Village, and those Kodo cubs whose parents were hunted by centaurs were deprived of care. Yang Yi asked the fishmen in the village to bring them all back to the Kodo Beast Valley in Ratchet Village.

The two minotaurs left, and the Kokar centaurs had just quieted down after a defeat, and Yang Yi began to arrange for the fishmen in the village to dig for copper.

For the sake of safety, Yang Yi did not plan to build a mine on land to mine now, and he decided to send fishmen to dig copper ore in the deep sea like the Canyon Fishman Village.

Yang Yi asked the fishmen in the village to go to the trench with the fishmen slaves they had captured. Previously, Yang Yi had only reconnoitred the situation under the trench from a distance, and had not really seen the copper ore veins. So he went with him to see the details this time.

The copper ore vein on the bottom of the sea was in the deep-sea trench under the Terrace of Titus, and Yang Yi followed the fish-man slaves who had been mining in the trench to dive down for a long time before reaching the mining site.

At this depth, the neighborhood was almost pitch black.

The big eyes of the fish-man are like two small circular lanterns in this environment, which are the light reflected by the big eyeballs of the fish-man, although the fish-man has night vision, but here he can only see a blurred image of more than ten meters in front of him.

Experienced fish-man slaves immediately began mining with their pickaxes, and the copper ore in the vicinity was largely exposed to the sea rocks. It is relatively easy to collect.

The fish-man slaves began to work absenteely, and Yang Yi led the battle fish-men to patrol around the mining site. It's very quiet in this neighborhood, and I basically didn't find anything after patrolling around.

"Legend has it that the stepped terrain of the Steps of Titus extends all the way down to the bottom of the sea, even to the sunken city of Kadore, but this rumor has never been confirmed." In the deep sea trench, Yang Yi remembered the legend of the Steps of Titus, in which the city of Cadore sank into the deep sea after the explosion of the Well of Eternity.

It is recorded that 10,000 years before the war broke out between humans and orcs. The world of Azeroth is a vast land surrounded by an infinite ocean, and the name of this land is Kalimdor. At that time, there were many different races and creatures that survived in the land of Kalimdor and fought against the harsh natural environment.

At the center of Kalimdor was a lake of mystical energy, known as the Well of Eternity, the source of magical and natural energy throughout the world of Azeroth. The Well of Eternity draws energy from the boundless darkness beyond the world of Azeroth and unleashes a steady stream of energy throughout the world of Azeroth, which feeds the diverse creatures of the world of Azeroth.

Kadore is the ancient name of the Night Elves, when Kadore built a magnificent city near the Well of Eternity. However, the leader of Kadore, Queen Azhara, for some reason, led to the destruction of the Well of Eternity. The destruction of the Well of Eternity caused a massive explosion, a devastating and terrible result that tore the entire world apart. The powerful earthquake caused by the explosion of the Well of Eternity completely changed the world of Azeroth, and the sea roared into the rift in the continent of Kalimdor, and most of the land of Kalimdor was torn apart. Only a few fragmented continents were left to surround the newly formed ocean. In the center of the new ocean was once the site of the Well of Eternity, now a giant vortex churning with chaotic energy. This terrible vortex whirls wildly without stopping, a relic of that cataclysm, the end of an ideal era.

This newly formed ocean is known as the Endless Sea, and many years have passed since that cataclysm. But even now, wanting to cross the Endless Sea is not a simple task.

"Now that we're all here, I'm going to have to dive in and give it a try. It should be much easier to find a city that has sunk to the bottom of the sea, as a fish-man. ”

Yang Yi decided to dive into the depths to take a look, and he didn't know where the legendary sunken city of Cadore was, so he left the other battle fishmen behind, and led a team of battle fishmen to dive directly down at the location of the mining site.

The deep sea was pitch black, and there was silence all around. Yang Yi and a team of fishmen kept diving, and he only felt as if he was in an endless silence and darkness.

Because they couldn't find any reference around them, Yang Yi and the others seemed to have no effect no matter how hard they tried to move downstream.

"It's a terrible feeling." Yang Yi's heart was furious. He didn't know how long he had been swimming.

Yang Yi looked up at the sea, and it was also dark.

"It's not okay to go on like this, if you continue to dive, you won't even be able to tell the difference between up and down, left and right, and if you lose your direction in the endless dark deep sea, it will be miserable."

Yang Yi quickly stopped. He gave up on the dive. The sunken city of Kadore is tempting, but it would be worth it to lose your life.

Yang Yi and a group of fishmen began to swim upward, and as time passed, a hazy bright color gradually appeared above their heads, and it was only at this time that Yang Yi's heart calmed down.

"No wonder no one has been able to find the sunken city of Kadore, and it is difficult for a race like the Fishmen who can live in the deep sea to dive in, let alone people of other races."

Yang Yi gradually relaxed. At this time, a blue light suddenly appeared in the distant sea. This bright light is not large, and it is far away from Yang Yi and them, but it is extremely obvious in the dark seawater.

"Village chief, there's a light over there." The fishmen who followed Yang Yi also discovered the blue light cluster in the deep sea, and they immediately reported it to Yang Yi.

Yang Yi stopped, and he looked at the direction of the electric light.

The blue light in the deep ocean lasted for a few seconds before disappearing without a trace. Yang Yi and the others watched for a while but still didn't find that the electric light appeared again, so Yang Yi took the fish-man and continued to swim upstream.

"Village Chief, the light has appeared again!"

After a few minutes of swimming, a fish-man suddenly called.

Yang Yi turned his head to look and found that the blue light cluster had indeed appeared again, and it seemed that the light cluster seemed to be a little larger.

"Well, there's something weird, it seems to be coming towards us." Yang Yi realized that it wasn't the light cluster that had become bigger. Rather, the ball of light approached in their direction.

"Full speed upstream!" Yang Yi immediately ordered.

Regarding this unknown light cluster that appeared in the depths of the seabed, Yang Yi maintained an absolute cautious attitude.

Yang Yi led the fish-man to swim at full speed, and the light cluster reappeared, and it became bigger and bigger.

The closer he got to the surface of the sea, the brighter the light in the sea became, and Yang Yi finally used his eagle eye technique to see the true face of the light cluster when he was about to approach the mining site.

It was a creature the size of a three-year-old child, and it looked like a combination of the upper body of a human and the lower half of a python.

"It's a Naga!" Yang Yi recognized it, this is a small naga, and it is a female naga.

The Naga are powerful aquatic tribes in the ocean, and they often enslave fishmen as slaves. And domesticated many powerful creatures such as dragons, turtles, flying snakes, etc., for them to drive. It is said that the Naga were once ancient night elves, who were twisted and transformed into their current serpent-like creatures by the energy of the explosion of the Well of Eternity.

Little Naga seemed to be hiding from something, and this Naga's eyesight was much stronger than Yang Yi's, and she seemed to have seen Yang Yi and them in the dark deep sea from the beginning.

When little Naga saw the crowd of fish, he was not only not afraid, but also very happy. She quickly swam towards Yang Yi and the group of fishmen.

After a few breaths, Yang Yi found that more than a dozen small red bright spots appeared behind Little Naga, and these small red bright spots were all moving together in twos and twos, which looked very strange.

"That's the Lobster Man." A fish-man spoke.

Those red bright spots are actually small eyeballs on the vertical eyes of the lobster people, and these lobster people who live in seawater also have night vision, so their eyeballs will reflect red light in the dark.

"It turned out to be lobster people, it seems that there are only seven or eight of them, I don't know why they are chasing this little Naga, is it because they don't want to cook Naga's delicious meal, so they rioted?" Yang Yi also understood when he heard this fishman's reminder.

The Naga enslaved the fishmen mainly to work as coolies, while the Naga kept lobstermen in captivity mainly to eat shrimp meat, and the lobster people hated the Naga.

Little Naga quickly swam over, and Yang Yi gathered all the fighting fishmen just in case.

"You Mugels, stop those lobster people for me!" Little Naga approached Yang Yi and suddenly shouted at them, sounding as if he was giving orders to the fish-men.

Yang Yi was stunned when he heard this, the little guy was quite imposing, and he was quite arrogant when he spoke. It's just that the little guy doesn't seem to have a very bright brain, and she probably didn't understand the situation in front of her. (To be continued.)
