Chapter 26: On Shark Island
The big lion Huang Shi came to Xiao Tian's side, stared at a few villagers who were like weak chickens, and didn't pay attention to them at all. But in order to be able to smoothly integrate into human society, it has to behave a little friendliness, otherwise people will hide from it.
"Xiao Huang, come, squat!" Xiao Tian called at the big lion.
"Roar. . . ”
Huang Shi reluctantly let out a low roar, very unhappy to be commanded by a weak human. Then he saw Xiao Qi in Xiao Tian's arms, slowly squatting down beside him, if he wanted to follow the Divine Beast Lord, he had to cooperate with this weak person.
The lion's unpleasant roar sounded to the ears of the villagers with another meaning: obedience.
Therefore, the scene in front of their eyes was: the lion obeyed Xiao Tian's command, obediently squatted beside him, and then quietly waited for the master's next instruction.
It turned out that this big lion was really the pet of this down-and-out merchant.
Seeing this, the villagers finally came to their senses, but they were still a little afraid. Why do these strange merchants like to keep some unusual pets, is it to show that they are rich, or to guard their treasures?
Xiao Tian couldn't care what the villagers thought, as long as his goal was achieved.
"Chief, you see, this is the big lion I raised, and it is very obedient. You don't have to be afraid, it has grown up with humans since childhood, it will not harm humans, and you don't have to worry about it eating people. ”
"Since you raised it, then we are relieved, fortunately you raised it, if it is wild, maybe few of our group can go back alive. ”
The village chief said with some fear, and then reassured the other villagers.
"Okay, don't worry, everyone, but no one should provoke this big lion, you know?"
"Yes, village chief, we won't. ”
"Yes, we don't have the guts to provoke a lion. ”
Several villagers chimed in, who dares to provoke such a big lion, they are not stupid.
"Village chief, what should we do next?" asked a villager, his name was Luo Qingsheng, he was sturdy, about 1.75 meters tall, and his appearance looked a little unlikeable.
"Yes, village chief, you see it's getting dark, shouldn't we find a safe place to spend the night?"
Another villager said that his name is Wang Qingzhi, who is about 1.68 meters tall, thin and small, and looks a little shrewd, and has a good relationship with Luo Qingsheng, and often haunts together.
"I see it's still early, let's continue to walk two mountains and find a place to stay!"
The village chief looked up at the sky, and there was still some time before the sun set, and he knew what the two of them were thinking, didn't they just want to be lazy! Because he was lazy, no one said anything, no one supervised, and it was up to him how far he went.
"Village chief, Xiao Tian came from the direction we want to investigate, if there is any problem, we can ask him, isn't this equivalent to us having been there?"
Wang Qingzhi said with a smug face, and the other two villagers who did not speak to his proposal also felt the same way.
The village chief also felt that what he said was very reasonable, and was impressed by this proposal. The places that Xiao Tian has been to are not much different from those of their group, and they can be regarded as having an explanation, and they don't have to take any more risks.
"Yes, I'm coming from that direction, you can ask me any questions. Xiao Tian pointed in the direction he came from, and then said.
In the end, the village chief made a decision not to go any further, and led the group to the junction of the beach and the woods, and chose a suitable place to set up camp. Then asked Xiao Tian about the situation, and Xiao Tian was also happy.
The government asked to investigate the mountains that were three days round trip, and they had been out for more than a day, so they didn't have to go far to go back. happened to meet Xiao Tian, so it just saved trouble, after setting up camp, just spend a little time here.
"Xiao Tian, you are on the edge of the mountain range, have you ever found any abnormal situation of demon beasts?"
The village chief sat with Xiao Tian and asked about the situation.
"Something unusual? Yes, when the sky appeared with colorful clouds, my two pet lions were very unstable, and they were lying on the ground and worshipping to the east! After the clouds disappeared, there was nothing unusual in the mountains and forests. ”
Oh, I see......
In this way, Xiao Tian chatted with the village chief, and from the chat between the two, Xiao Tian knew where he was now.
The Tianxuan subcontinent is located in the southeast of the main continent, while Shark Island is located directly east of the Tianxuan subcontinent, and Xiao Tian is located on Shark Island.
The name of the island is Shark Island, which is due to the large number of sharks around the island. Xiao Tian has also seen that shark dorsal fins can often be seen in the waters around this island, so it is not surprising to hear this name.
Ordinary people don't know that Shark Island covers an area of more than one million square kilometers, so the village chief can only say that Shark Island is very large. There is a country on the island that unites all mortals, and this country is called the Shark Kingdom, with a population of about one million. Is it more than a million? Not much, but very little, if it were on Earth, such an area could accommodate three or four billion people. So a million people are very rare on this island.
Ordinary people's production capacity is low, and after paying taxes on the grain they grow, it is only enough to feed themselves, and some people even have problems with feeding, and they often have to dig wild vegetables, pick wild fruits, hunt and fish, etc., to subsidize their families.
In addition to low productivity, there is another reason for the sparse population, and that is that the entire island, three-quarters of the area is occupied by monsters, and only a quarter of the area inhabited by humans.
The demon beasts are ferocious, and mortals have nothing to do with them, but what about the cultivators? they are all busy cultivating themselves, and they are not in the mood to help mortals fight for territory at all
In the entire Shark Island, there is only one cultivator sect, and his name is also related to sharks, so it is called: Shark Gate.
There are more than 1,000 people in the entire sect of the Shark Sect, of which more than 300 are cultivators, and the rest are miscellaneous servants. The inheritance time of the Shark Gate is also relatively long, but due to the limitation of resources, the cultivation of the Gate is the highest only one Yuan Infancy, and its sect is located in the west of Shark Island.
The royal family of the Shark Kingdom also obeys the orders of the Shark Gate, and has to offer supplies to the Shark Gate, and almost all of the Shark Gate's living materials are provided by the royal family. In addition, the replacement of the royal throne must be reported to the Shark Gate, otherwise you will wait to be replaced with the royal surname. Don't forget, the cultivation realm is a world where the strong are respected.
On Shark Island, there are three demon kings on the bright side, one of which is Huangshi's father, the Golden Lion King. Although there is occasional friction between the demon kings, it is just a fight between the little demons, and the demon king will not try his best to avenge them, and the fight between the demon beasts is a common thing.
Due to the weakness of the cultivators, they occupy very little territory, and most of the area is occupied by demon beasts. It's not that the cultivator doesn't want to occupy a little more blessed land, but the strength is not enough, one wrong step, one wrong step, and there is a possibility that he will be destroyed by the demon beast side. Now that the various forces maintain a relative balance, it is a rare good time for the Shark Gate to recuperate.
Shark Island is located in the middle of a number of large and small continents, so it is common for ships to pass by, occasionally stopping at the island's docks to rest or replenish supplies. Therefore, there is a cultivator's market on the island, so that merchants can exchange goods. The market is housed by the Shark Gate, so it's also part of the Shark Gate's important source of income.
After this chat, Xiao Tian also roughly figured out the current situation of Shark Island where he was. When he heard about the Shark Sect, he considered whether he could enter this sect to learn cultivation, but he still needed to wait for a suitable time.
