"Chapter 1: Sea City"

Next Chapter

In the vast sea, the city floating on the sea is full of people, some people rowing on the canal in the center of the road, and some people walking on the road on both sides of the canal.

It is located in the only market area of the "Oss City". On the boats and on both sides of the road, there are all kinds of daily necessities, as well as various tools and department stores.

Without exception, most of the tools sold here are made of fish bones, animal bones, and shells.

The food is mostly a variety of meats, and there are some pale green seaweeds.

Kill brother, wait for me!

A childish voice came from behind, and a young man in his early teens in a pale blue "sea hemp algae" woven robe gradually turned back in front of him. ”

Looking at the little girl who seemed to be six or seven years old, wearing a dark blue "hemp skirt" and a crimson "fishbone hairpin" on her head, she couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Sister Yun'er", I knew you were so troublesome and wouldn't have taken you out.

You should keep up with it, and be careful that the "fur seals" that follow you will take it to you!

As soon as the words fell, a trace of panic immediately appeared in the little girl's deep eyes, and she hurriedly ran forward, took the young man's hand, and looked around in a panic.

After a while, he didn't see the "sea dog" in the boy's mouth, so he stopped looking and looked at the boy with anger.

The girl complained: "My brother is so bad, he knows that it is scary, believe it or not, I will tell my mother to make you suffer?"

The young man stroked the little girl's head, and nodded again and again: "Okay Yun'er, it's my brother who is not good, and my brother shouldn't scare you." ”

How about my brother buy you "fish gelatin" later?

"Fish glutin" is a common small fish "sweet gum fish" extracted.

The eggs and roe of this fish can be boiled to produce sugar gum, which is supplemented with some pigments extracted from the algae in the sea of colored fish bones to make a candy snack.

Hearing the words "fish gum candy", the little girl's anger dissipated, took the young man's hand, and gradually walked slowly forward to the noisy place.

In front of a colorful candy stall, the two stopped, the little girl looked at the candy placed on the huge shell happily, and couldn't help but breed a trace of ** in her mouth, and hurriedly closed her small mouth tightly, fearing that ** would overflow from the corner of her mouth.

"Kill brother", I want this and this, yes, and this, looking at the gum in the little girl's hand, the young man couldn't help but nod with a silent smile.

Looking at the stall owner's smiling face, he asked the price, slowly took out a small bottle from the sleeve of his robe, opened the cap, poured out a piece of soil the size of a small fingernail in the palm of his hand, turned it upside down, and handed it to the candy stall owner.

That's right, it's dirt, the most precious thing in the water world, and it's also the more circulating currency of trade.

Looking at Yun'er, who was happily holding fish gum, and the corners of his hands and mouth were stained with melted sticky gum, a loving smile appeared on the young man's face.

patted the laughing girl's head and said slowly: "Let's go, Yun'er, today is the day when Daddy and their ship come back, we have to hurry to the dock." ”

So the young man's right hand led his sister, who was a head shorter than himself, and walked into the distance.

It was noon, the sun was scorching, and the whole harbor seemed to be roasted by fire, and a faint rising mist floated on the sea in the distance.

There are already many people waiting here in the port, due to the limited sunshade of the port, outside the "awning", the waiting people can't help but "look into the distance," while blocking the scorching sun, while looking up at the vast sea and sky.

The young man wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with his left sleeve and looked anxiously at the depths of the vast sea.

The little girl holding her right hand muttered, "Brother, why haven't they come back?"

The elder brother patted his sister next to him and comforted: Don't worry, Daddy will be back soon, and he will bring you a beautiful fishbone necklace.

Listening to her brother's comfort, the anxiety in the little girl's heart couldn't help but add another point.

Their father belonged to the offshore mercenary ship of Ostown, and their main job was to hunt small fish, low-level monsters, and floating seaweed, driftwood, etc., to fill the construction needs of Ostown.

Oss City has land, but it is a pitiful island, and the entire land exposed on the sea belongs to the city lord, which is the land occupied by the ancestors of the city lord's conquest of demon beasts, so around this land, is the origin of Oss City.

Time passed little by little, it was getting late, and looking at the sunset, the people waiting on the dock began to become anxious.

You must know that the mercenary ship belonging to "Ostown" has always returned as scheduled, and the ship that was supposed to return at noon has not been seen until now.

The sky gradually darkened, and the boat was afraid that it would not be able to enter the harbor at night, and everyone dispersed, and the young man led his sister slowly in the direction of home.

Mom...... Mom...... We returned, and in front of an old "driftwood boat", the boy and the girl shouted in unison, and the door gradually opened.

A pair of puzzled eyes looked at the boy and the girl solemnly, and asked, "Why didn't your father come back?" The boy lowered his head and sighed: No, there are no mercenary ships entering the port today.

The woman muttered to herself in a faint voice, and helped the boy and girl into the cabin.

The cabin is not spacious, and it is only a dozen square meters, and there are two rooms on the left and right after going down to the cabin, the one on the left is where the parents live, the one on the right is the residence of the teenager and the girl, and there is an unfinished sandwich house at the stern.

It was prepared by the father for the girl, and this sandwich house was built for three whole years, not because the father was lazy, but because of the lack of driftwood and materials for construction.

As for driftwood, it's not that there is no land in this world, but the land is only some large islands, and all of them are home to various monsters.

You must know that in this world, the power of demon beasts is absolute, and those huge corpses floating on the sea like a hill prove the horror of demon beasts.

Human beings are only surviving in this world.

Only those imperial monks have the capital to control power, but they have to compete with those monsters on the large land.

Unless your cultivation is strong enough, before you approach the land, those giants in the sea will naturally sense your breath and swallow you in your mouth.

Because the human soul is a shortcut for the demon beast to increase its cultivation, swallowing the human body will naturally fuse the human soul as the energy for the demon beast to grow.

In the early morning, the sky was just dawning, and the young man slowly opened his eyes.

I got up and looked at the thin girl in the upper bunk, and looked at the sleeping girl who was riding on a thin quilt made of seaweed, and the quilt was pulled out from between the girl's legs and gently covered the girl's body.

"Sea hemp algae" is a common algae that floats on the surface of the sea, this algae is as thick as an adult's arm, has a pale green color, but is tens of meters or even nearly 100 meters long.

After being dried, kneaded and dyed, a kind of seahem fiber can be produced, which becomes more delicate and soft the more it is kneaded, so it is an indispensable daily necessities for human beings.

The boy slowly walked out of the cabin and saw his mother cooking breakfast on the deck on the oil stove.

"The body of this oil stove is the head of a large fish, and due to its internal structure, it has two layers, the upper part is flat, and there are holes in it, and the bottom can store sea oil and fish oil as fuel. ”

This oil floats above the surface of the sea, forming a black layer of oil, which is not uncommon for people to collect and barter for sale.

Fish oil is a kind of fish stored in the body called red fire fish, which will swallow microorganisms that are full of sea oil, so that a large amount of sea oil and fish oil are stored in the body, which is used to spew fireballs in times of danger and protect their lives.

There are also fishermen who specialize in catching this fish and selling it for oil. So these are indispensable cooking utensils for most people.

The boy walked up to his mother, took the spoon from her hand, and reached for the pot made of a huge conch.

The delicate slices of fish were tumbling in the pot, and the young man carefully selected a piece of relatively plump fish, stretched it out to his mouth and blew it with his mouth, and sensibly handed it to his mother's mouth.

The woman is about thirty years old, neatly dressed, and although there is a trace of tiredness left by the years, it is difficult to hide the good face in her appearance.

The woman smiled and opened her mouth to bite down on the fish handed over, chewing it in her mouth with satisfaction, and her eyes were full of happiness as she watched the boy.

In the cabin, a wet tide gradually enveloped the futon, and the girl gradually woke up, looked at the futon that was wet with liquid, pouted, and secretly pressed the pillow on this wet bedding.

Scratching his head, he moved the position of the pillow again, covered the water traces tightly, and then cautiously jumped out of bed.

Squinting slightly, he used his chubby little white hands to block the morning sun outside the cabin.

The girl walked over to her mother and brother, who were eating. Seeing this, the woman gently patted the girl's head, filled half a bowl of fish and some soup, put it on the table in front of the girl, and slowly walked to the cabin.

A moment later, the soaked futon and pillow were in hand, as well as a dry underwear and skirt.

After the quilt was dried, the woman slowly put on the girl's clothes, sat behind the girl who was chewing the tender fish in her mouth, and gently combed the girl's hair with a fishbone comb.

The boy looked at the girl's gobbling up and put down the chopsticks made of shells and fish bones in his hand.

chuckled: "Sister Yun'er is wetting the bed again, and she still wets the bed when she is so old." It's not a shame!"

The girl's face was crimson, and her eyes widened at her brother's mocking gaze.

Hmph: Mom said you also wet the bed when you were a child. Then he looked at his mother as if asking for help.

The woman covered her mouth and looked at the girl, and said sarcastically: Your brother wetted the bed when he was a child, but he didn't cover up the scene of the crime!

After saying that, the two burst into laughter, and the girl's face turned even crimson.
