Located beneath the Great Rift Valley, along the Iwok River, on the side of the Bisson Mountains, and on the coast of the South China Sea, Port Harrison is itself a rare highland in the coastal area, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the surrounding land is extremely fertile and suitable for farming, and has all the basic elements of a large city.

The only reason why Port Harrison hasn't developed into a southern metropolis is its remoteness—between the port and the other major cities of the empire, there are winding mountain roads, steep and wide rifts, rushing rivers, and jungles full of cannibal natives.

Indeed, the more remote the place, the more lucrative the trade.

Harrison's harbor is home to a variety of rare catches, jungle herbs, and rock salt and minerals from the Bison Mountains, all of which are specialty products that can be sold at high prices outside.

In addition, fleets from Canaan Moore occasionally come here to sell their goods...... If ordinary elven specialties are to be bought, merchants can only smuggle them from the checkpoints of the Karan Mountains in addition to the towering Faft Mountains, which is not only a matter of killing heads, but also a matter of being frozen to death by the wind and snow of the Karan Mountains.

In contrast, there is at least one official road to walk in the hot and humid mountain jungles of Nanling.

But even with so many advantages, except for those powerful large caravans, the average small and medium-sized chamber of commerce did not dare to come to Port Harrison.

There aren't many reasons for this, mainly because of Warcraft.

The farther away from the people, the deeper the jungle is in the deep mountains, the more demonic beasts there are, the stronger they are, and the less afraid they are of people.

If you don't have enough defense against the force of the demonic beasts along the way, and casually try your luck to run the business for profit, the final result will definitely be to become the belly of the Nanling demonic beast.

It is remote, there are many monsters, and it is extremely difficult to develop, so there are few people. That's why Port Harrison has until now been a remote port on the frontier.

But, on the other hand, if you have enough strength to hunt demonic beasts, then the southern realm is also a good place to go.

Northeast of Port Harrison, there is an inland reef area where a large number of coral reefs emerge at low tide, creating a labyrinth of reefs that would never have been possible if someone had strayed into it or tried to catch the rare catch.

This is because there are more than fifteen different species of amphibian and marine monsters inhabited in this area called the 'Fantasy Labyrinth Reef Group', and in the colorful coral fortress, there are steep cliffs and fissure undercurrents, as well as dangerous phantom magic plants called 'Labyrinth Algae'.

Labyrinth algae is a peculiar symbiotic algae that does not take root at the bottom of the sea, but lives in symbiosis with a lower magical beast, the 'Fort Coral', which can build a strong fortress in the sea, and will provide it with shelter and nutrients.

Labyrinth algae secrete neurotoxins that accumulate into sea fog and create illusions that lure dangerous sea animals that could damage coral reefs away from reefs, or trap them to become their own nutrients.

In addition, the maze algae is also a natural enemy of the starfish, and the maze algae can probe its leaves into the starfish's stomach pouch to secrete venom, melting and absorbing it from the inside out.

Even though the products here are extremely abundant, and the core skeleton of the fortified coral is one of the best buildings and even weapon materials, it is also the habitat and breeding ground of a large number of fish in the coastal waters, and in the long run, the destruction of the ecological balance of the reef group is completely worth the loss.

However, if you only hunt a few monsters once in a while, you can also be considered part of the natural balance.

Terra 766, December 17, afternoon.

Three months after the Great Southern Storm.

Behind a flat yellow sand flat and a coastal jungle, behind a thorny shrub, a small figure is waiting.

The offshore sea breeze blows, and the cold and wet air makes the leaves rattle.

Ian lurked behind the bushes, ignoring the fine barbs on the leaves and trunks of the surrounding vegetation, the white-haired boy's seemingly slender and white skin had a light layer of blood, but the barbs that pierced the beast's thick skin were repelled as if they had hit a rock when they touched the boy's skin, and the sharp spikes were slightly curved.

I have to say that the seascape of Nanling is indeed beautiful, looking at the distant seascape, the wicker-like flowing clouds drift along the direction of the wind, cutting the turquoise sky, and at the junction of the sea and the sky, the towering clouds and mountains are suspended above the sea, reflecting the golden sunlight.

But the boy did not enjoy the leisure of the sea view now, his breathing slowed, his heart beat slowed, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the black and oppressive 'reef-devouring sea otter' in the distant sea near the reefs.

The sea otters, who had just returned from foraging, appeared rather lazy, floating lazily on the surface of the water to feed.

Strictly speaking, the reef-devouring sea otter is not a real monster, just like there is only one monster fish king in the tidal fish group, only the most powerful sea otters in the community are the real 'reef-devouring sea otters' and have entered the realm of warcraft.

Ian could clearly see that in a colony of sea otters about 1.5 meters in length, there were several giant sea otters over two meters in size, with slippery, tough, fireproof and waterproof dense fur, rock-strong bones, and front teeth that could crush steel.

These monsters, which looked more like bears than sea otters, were floating on the surface of the sea, comfortably crushing hard shells and eating their flesh.

As the name suggests, reef-eating sea otters feed on coral reefs in addition to ordinary seafood such as shells and sea urchins, because their monsterized bones and core muscles require the reef core skeleton of the fortified coral, a special metal-based cell, and the corresponding material to form.

And in order to defeat the maze algae that protect the coral, the reef-eating sea otter also has a strong ability to detoxify.

Among them, the most powerful sea otter can even turn its skin into a hardness close to the skeleton of a fortified coral in a short period of time, in other words, it is a stone skin and iron bone, even the toxins of the maze algae can be immune, and ordinary strong men cannot break the defense with a sword.

And this sublimation ability, which is called the 'Pure Rock Body', is Ian's goal this time.

One of his 'potion materials'!

"The most powerful reef-eating sea otter is also the leader of the herd...... Well, it's a bit hard to deal with, and it doesn't have any weaknesses on it. ”

Using the Prophetic Horizon to observe the sea otter group floating on the shore, Ian swept it and could see a large area of gray-white ordinary sea otters, only three of which were haunted by blue light mist, which could be called a magical beast.

Of these three, only one of them is a 'dark blue' that meets the criteria of his needs.

Generally speaking, wild monsters will have many dark wounds on their bodies because they have been fighting for many years.

Even if they don't, because of an unhealthy diet or an imperfect bloodline, most of them will have some 'weaknesses'.

The enhanced 'Foresight' will help Ian detect the exact location of those 'weaknesses'.

Since two months ago, Ian had finally stabilized his psionic abilities again after a long period of weakness.

The essence of the psionic ability of foresight is the convergence of all of Ian's desires.

He longed to learn about the new world of Terra, so when he heard the names of places beyond Port Harrison and the great changes that the whole world was about to encounter, his psionic abilities were stimulated to increase due to the expansion of his worldview, and he reached the realm of the first-level psionics.
