At five o'clock in the morning, Qin Xiaobai rowed a small raft out to sea to explore the nearest islands around the island -- a total of five islands, roughly distributed in the east, south, west, north, and southwest directions of his island.

These five islands, the player only needs to stand on the shore of Qin Xiaobai's island at noon when his vision is unobstructed, and he can easily see it with his eyes. It's just that Qin Xiaobai still doesn't know the size of these five islands, as well as the strength of the players above.

Qin Xiaobai gave them a number, 1 island in the east, 1 island in the south, 1 island in the west, 1 island in the north, and 1 island in the southwest. With Qin Xiaobai's island as the center, 1 represents the islands in the first circle of the periphery, and 2 represents the islands in the second circle. As his strength rises, his scouting range will continue to expand to the periphery.

The distance between each island on the beginner's map is not too far, about 3~10 nautical miles. The maximum height of the raft is 1 nautical mile / 5 minutes, and after going out to sea in about 15 minutes ~ 1 hour, you can land 6 other nearby islands.

The first target of Qin Xiaobai's exploration was East 1 Island, which was 3 nautical miles away.

When you leave your island and sail your raft into the misty sea, all sense of direction disappears without a trace. Except for the endless sea, oneself and the raft, there was hardly anything else to be found as coordinates for navigation.

Qin Xiaobai sat on the small raft and paddled the wood pulp unhurriedly. He was used to this situation as early as the closed beta. Under the white mist, you can't see others, and others can't see you. Whether it is going to sea to reconnoitre, or boarding 6 to fight a sneak attack, this moment of dawn is the best time.

Of course, if you like to fight naval battles in the open, you have to wait for the fog to clear up.

The only thing Qin Xiaobai could see in his field of vision now was a small black shadow in the distance, which was his target - the closest island to the main island. He slashed at the shadow.

In just 15 minutes, Qin Xiaobai arrived at the island.

He didn't board the 6, but went around the island on a small raft.

The results of the patrol surprised him slightly, this is a small two-person island, which means that this island should theoretically have a camp for two players.

Also, there are no ferries on the coast around the island, and neither player has yet to build a ferry - probably because they are not strong enough to build a ferry; It may also be that they gave priority to building barbarian barracks, and there was no extra wood to build a ferry.

The small raft is more than ten meters from the island and floats with the waves.

Qin Xiaobai stood on the small raft, carefully looking at every place on the island, trying to find traces of the activities of the players on the island. I wondered if I was going to go to the island to investigate on the spot. His health has not fully recovered yet, only 47HP, and it may not be good if he encounters the opposing Barbarian warriors while exploring the 6 islands.

Just as he was thinking about it.

Suddenly, a middle-aged player dressed as a savage came out of the jungle, about forty years old, and a little obese. He was followed by a large group of NPC barbarian peasants, each carrying a stone axe or spear.

Qin Xiaobai glanced at it, there were a total of twenty-six peasants.

The middle-aged player was obviously an Asian national, and suddenly saw Qin Xiaobai, his face was obviously stunned, obviously he didn't expect to meet a player on the coast early in the morning, and this player was still standing on a small raft on the sea.

Qin Xiaobai was also slightly stunned when he saw this middle-aged player.

It's a coincidence that the players on this island also got up so early, he smiled faintly. Asian players may have the possibility of cooperation.

The middle-aged man was very nervous, the other party could come to his island on a raft so quickly, and he was afraid that it would not take long to bring the troops over. What nationality is the opponent from?

The middle-aged player hurriedly shouted at Qin Xiaobai: "X...... ％＃◎？！ ＃◎※？ ”

Qin Xiaobai's good mood disappeared immediately, and he frowned.

He didn't have Empire's all-round voice translation system, but he knew what the other side was talking about.

The other party spoke Japanese.

Japanese players!

Qin Xiaobai's frowning brows quickly relaxed, Japanese players, hehe, it seems that in the short term, they don't have to worry about not being able to find an upgrade object.

The first player on the current East 1 Island is directly assigned to the opposing faction, and the goal is half completed. There is still the other half, who is the other player on East 1 Island? This is important, perhaps allies, perhaps adversaries. There is a big difference in difficulty between striking two opponents at the same time and hitting one.

Qin Xiaobai is looking forward to this.

Qin Xiaobai ignored the shouting of the middle-aged Japanese player, and left directly on the small raft and rowed to the other side of the island.

Middle-aged Japanese players run along the coastline chasing small rafts, shouting angrily and loudly, hoping to get a response to determine the nationality of the other party.

Middle-aged Japanese players have a very bad feeling in their hearts, the other party is also Asian, but he doesn't give him a good look at him at all, the other party is likely to have too many possibilities, all Asians are possible, except for the Japanese.

Qin Xiaobai ignored him, but the middle-aged Japanese player could only watch the small raft row farther and farther, and had to give up, angrily taking the farmers back to the jungle.

Soon after, Qin Xiaobai arrived on the other side of the island on a small raft.

Paddle to the shore, jump ashore, and hide the raft in the hidden reeds so as not to be noticed. After getting it done, Qin Xiaobai walked towards the depths of the jungle.

Unsurprisingly, he quickly found a player's barbarian camp - which, like most camps, was a thatched hut with a campfire in front of it, and a group of sleeping barbarian peasants in the camp.

I counted them, and there were twenty-four in total.

Judging from the performance of all the barbarian peasants sleeping, the owner of this camp should not have gone online yet, otherwise this group of barbarians would have gotten up to work a long time ago. Neither the buildings nor the NPC farmer's head directly indicate the nationality of their owner, making it impossible to determine that the owner of this camp is a player from that country.

However, Qin Xiaobai had a way to know the nationality of the owner of this camp immediately.

He swung his stick and struck at the thatched hut next to him.

Prompt: "You attacked the thatched hut of the player 'Great Goodman', thatched hut-1 durability. ”

After being attacked, the thatched hut shows its properties.

Thatched huts: 999/1000. Patriarch: Good man. Nationality: Chinese.

Qin Xiaobai was happy.

On the two-person island of East 1 Island, there happens to be a camp for Chinese players and a camp for Japanese players. It was even more interesting than he had imagined. He had a hunch that the small island of two might well become a small powder keg that could explode at any moment.
