Chapter 278: Into the Illusion

readx;? But such an outrageous story, of course. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info If you're a very prestigious person, this becomes much more reliable. If the book says the same, it's true.

And Lonely Tuo is really not hearsay, because that account comes from Lonely Ancestor, the grandfather of his wife's grandfather. He has every reason to believe that even if it is a lie, his ancestors will mark it between the lines, which is false.

Because, this book is a warning book for a lonely home, not a ghost story that coaxes a woman to scream. For future generations, a former peerless powerhouse, there is no need to mythologize himself, and there is nothing to deceive. The very existence of his old man is a legend.

And now is the time when the mirage is most likely to appear.

On this day, even if it is a fantasy, many things can happen. For example, a group of men set out on this day, and they went further north along the coast.

This group of adventurers belonged to an ancient donkey sect in Siam, and in the account of the sect, there are too many such journeys to count. No matter how rich and prosperous the life is, it can't stop the curiosity of the cultivators, perhaps because of the comfort, there are many idlers.

Of course, they all knew that it was going to be a difficult trip. It will be very difficult for any of them to come back alive, just like those former brothers of the Shimen. However, if you can bring back a piece of news from the north, it will still be the glory of Wushang.

'We have not sunk for comfort, we are still exploring the unknown of this continent, so I am proud.... This may be the reason why human beings are progressing, whether it is for the sake of life itself, or for the sake of curiosity, they are taking that step.......

And what these people don't know is that in that place called Wan Ling, there is also a group of people who like to explore. At the southernmost tip of the empire, there is a place that resembles Lookout. There, too, there will be a fantasy, but it will present a completely different scenery.

This is the southernmost part of the empire, the Zhuwanga Peninsula, a famous pearling mecca on the mainland.

In the southernmost part of this narrow peninsula is the warmest part of the continent. But a polar cold snap is passing through here, making the water unusually cold. The intersection of hot and cold makes everything come alive. In the same way, such seas often have undercurrents and are extremely dangerous.

Beneath the sea is a dense jungle of seagrass. They hang upside down at the surface of the sea, but stick their heads deep into the bottom of the ocean so that they are not swept away by the currents. It's not quiet either, with a huge fleet of sea carts living there. Wherever they passed, the hard corals were also chewed into powder, and only one sturdier and larger shellfish survived.

This is the specialty, the sawtooth mussel. The kelp jungle shades out too much sunlight and makes the seabed look dappled and makes them almost one with the reef, and they really become part of the rocks.

Countless floats are conceived here, then multiply in the sunlight, and eventually die and sink to the bottom of the sea. Their remains became a feast for these sea mussels, and they lived up to expectations and eventually grew into behemoths. From the time of birth, they grow at a depth of more than ten zhang, and this weight will surround it for a lifetime, and coming out of the water means death.

On those full moon nights, they open their huge shells with the tides. In order to absorb the moonflower, they will also spit out a fat tongue. And on these mussels, there are often several tempting Neidan.

At night, these mellow naidan glow, and in some years, they illuminate the seabed, which is truly spectacular. It's like an unopened jewelry box, or a lost treasure chest...

And the upper and lower edges are shaped like jagged teeth and sharp like fangs, which are fatal to every pearl diver.

But even so, the orbs the size of pigeon's eggs are too dazzling to stop human greed.

In order to catch them safer during the day, the people of Zhuwanga have invented various methods, such as salvaging the water as a whole and then priing open their mouths, or simply breaking them with a hammer... Such savage harvesting is disastrous and makes them increasingly rare and precious.

It wasn't until the resources near the sea were looted out and the mussels that died out of the water were almost extinct that they remembered that this was wrong.

The enemy is not in the place, and the place is not clear, but such an outrageous story, of course. If you are a very prestigious person, this becomes much more reliable. If the book says the same, it's true.

Thus, a very special approach was born. That is, he kept massaging the fluff on the side of his mouth, and took advantage of the opportunity to open his mouth to prop up a half-foot-long sleeper. Best of all, they leave a special handful of sand behind when they leave. This method testifies to the wisdom of the Zhuwanga people and gives them a taste of the cyclical harvest.

Because it's hard to find things in a dark and slippery space. They can only rely on their tactile hands, so they do not hesitate to poke their bare arms into it. This is no longer something that bravery can describe, it borders on madness. In this extremely rapid process, the slightest mistake will put a hand in it.

And this usually means that the person who connects to this arm will also stay at the bottom of the sea forever .......

Because the sea is so cold and it's thousands of miles away from the tropics, the weather here is cold. There are no coconut palms or golden palms on this peninsula, but dense coniferous forests and waist-deep grass.

It's already the summer solstice, and it's still just early spring, and there's even snow on the heights.

But people don't wear too much here, and men are more accustomed to exposing half of their upper bodies. It seems that they are not afraid of the cold, and their hands are free, so that they can work more conveniently.

The entire empire's thirst for dzi in the South China Sea made this group of people almost live in the waves. Almost every household here is a pearl diver. Out of the 500 households, more than 1,000 strong men have become sea bumpers. Exposure to the knife-like sea breeze all year round makes the man's skin very rough. Frostbite and wind blew each of them with a very special layer of cocoons.

These calluses are similar to those of the heels, which are a layer of dark brown dead skin. On too warm days, the skin cracks and peels off, leaking cloudy pus and a maddening itch.

The thing that alleviates all this is precious, and that is long-tailed monkey fat infused with pine oil. These guys live in very high mountains, which are now getting harder and harder to catch. There is much more to these ointments, not only to make the skin smooth and refined, but also to represent wealth and status. That is, this is not for pearl divers.

Therefore, they can only use the grease of livestock instead, which makes their perennial ** body, dark and shiny, and has become a unique scenery by the sea.

However, at this moment, a pair of women are holding a bottle in their hands. Slightly changing the angle, the white ointment flowed out .......
