Chapter XXVII: The Prince Who Never Returns 3
Xu Zhengqing looks at it from a scientific point of view, and it is very likely that their food crisis is because of long snakes. Because the long snake was cleared before, the fish will not be eaten by the large number of long worms. In recent years, the long snake has not been killed, resulting in the full breeding of long snakes without natural predators, and the natural fish have been eaten by them.
Xu Zhengqing thought that this mission should be to simply kill the long snake, and then return to Poseidon Island.
But why is the mission called the Prince Who Never Returns?
Could there be any variables that are different?
If it comes, it will be safe, Xu Zhengqing left all this behind. In the past few days, he has worked hard to learn the eighteen methods of killing snakes with the priestess, and he is full of confidence before leaving.
According to the priestess, although the long snake is called the long snake, it is more appropriate to call it the long worm. Moreover, the long snake is very easy to kill, and if it weren't for the fact that the famine was too serious this time, it would not have sent so many islanders to kill it.
Finally, the day of departure came. Xu Zhengqing and a group of selected people were ready to go, because there was not much food on the island, so they could only bring enough food for three days.
Xu Zhengqing looked at the twenty or so fish that were not chirping, and felt that it was no wonder that this ship was called the Prince who would never return. It's going to starve the passengers to death. I won't have to experience any ghost animals that eat R meat at that time.
But when he saw the expressions of the natives who were eager, he instantly understood how scarce the island's food was.
Once on board, the players will not be able to steer the ship. So everyone can only let NPCs come, and everyone learns. also took out the background of this story from their mouths.
The inhabitants of Poseidon Island have all fled, and their ancestors have experienced the baptism of waves, and finally found an island in the endless sea, which is now Poseidon Island. Poseidon Island was originally left with nothing but desolate land on it. It is the hard work of the ancestors and the seeds planted that have developed step by step to today's prosperity. It's a pity that the long snake appeared at that time, and the long snake is the biggest harm to the islanders. Because they live on the sea, most of the islanders worship the god of the sea. Poseidon and the Serpent are definitely incompatible, so the islanders need to kill the monsters for Poseidon.
Xu Zhengqing looked at the sea around him, it was very magical here. There is no day or night, as long as you are awake, it is day. If you want to sleep, it's night, Xu Zhengqing tried to pick up a fishing rod and go fishing. The Prince is very small, usually only able to accommodate 3 people in the cabin at night, and everything is done to save the limit of materials. There is not a hint of flashiness.
Everyone didn't want to talk, Xu Zhengqing was bored fishing in a daze.
Not only is food scarce, but freshwater is even more so. Everyone only bathes 3 times in their lives, is born once, marries once, dies once. Some believe that they will not take a bath for the rest of their lives. So everybody smells like it. Xu Zhengqing felt that the living conditions here were too bad.
It took about 5,000 breaths for Xu Zhengqing to catch an 8-inch-long fish. Xu Zhengqing is not so hungry that his eyes are green, and he has eaten quite well at the shaman's place in the past two days. The surrounding aborigines looked at the fish in his hand, and kept swallowing saliva, were they so hungry and thirsty?
Xu Zhengqing tore the fish along his stomach and put the internal organs aside. Pick up some seawater from the sea, rinse the fish, and set it aside to continue fishing.
Some people followed suit and threw a fishing rod down.
Xu Zhengqing kept thinking, what is so special about this mission?
The more he thought about it, the more hungry he became, so he secretly touched a physical strength pill and ate it. Fortunately, this mission could use space, but what he didn't expect was that when he came out, he found that the fish was gone.
None of the people around him spoke, and Xu Zhengqing could only stare at them silently.
Damn it!
It must have been the aboriginal who did it, if it was the player. Who would be so stupid not to bring food in!
Wait, some players don't have food, it's possible that they are more hungry than the natives...
Xu Zhengqing is also quite helpless, forget it, just treat that little fish as if it was eaten by a cat.
However, it is not easy to light a fire and eat some cooked food on this ship, and these brothers will not have any problems eating raw food. After all, seafood can also have parasites!
Cranky, after a long time...
Except for Xu Zhengqing, who caught a fish again, the others caught nothing. He didn't want to be a fool, so he just put the fish next to him.
There was a thin aboriginal who finally couldn't stand it anymore, he ran over and said softly: "Big brother, I'm really hungry and can't stand it, can you give me a bite to eat." Just one bite. ”
When he said this, Xu Zhengqing asked, "Why don't you eat those dried fish first?" ”
He hesitated and said, "The fish are dry, and I am thirsty." Brother, I know I'm sorry for you just now, that fish was eaten by my brother. You're thirsty too, he's really thirsty. ”
Seeing that he said a little bit more, Xu Zhengqing tore half of the fish to him.
"Okay, I can only give you half."
He kept saying, "Thank you, thank you!" ”
Xu Zhengqing watched him swallow the fish directly alive, the fish didn't scale! Just pulled out the entrails! Xu Zhengqing is disgusting, what kind of strange island country is this!
It's still good to have a farming culture, slash-and-burn farming, and the food is still cooked food.
Xu Zhengqing had a whim and used a small piece of fish meat as bait, but he didn't expect that after about 700 breaths, he would catch another small fish.
The people around came around, and Xu Zhengqing felt that it was better to give the fish to the aborigines at the helm to eat, and those who didn't work didn't want to cheat and drink.
When he came to the captain's room, the aboriginal also looked at the live fish with an incredulous expression.
He was a little honest: "You really want to give it to me?" Thank you. ”
Xu Zhengqing said: "It should be, it should be." You've worked hard down there. They don't know when they're coming to pick you up, and you can't go fishing. Then again, when will we get to the place where we pay tribute? ”
He paused for a moment and said, "It's coming, it's coming." There are still more than 300,000 breaths to go. ”
Xu Zhengqing handed him the fish and then helped to steer it.
He really didn't care about the scales on the fish, and even ate the internal organs.
"It's too fresh, it's too fresh. Thanks to the gift of the sea god, we were able to eat such deliciously. ”
The more Xu Zhengqing listened, the more he felt that the sea god was like a cult, wasn't this fish caught by Lao Tzu...
Forget it, you have to rely on this kind of strength to fight the long snake as soon as possible.
When he finished eating, it only took 180 breaths. Xu Zhengqing was shocked by his good teeth, this guy is fierce!
There were no bones left.
