At this moment, it is the time for the redwood natives to eat.

Along the shores of the Nanling Sequoias, the smoke rises from the cooking, and the elderly and women process the ingredients, deboning the fish, separating the internal organs, and preparing it to be mixed with the bean paste and bone residue on the side as fodder for the hunting and sea beasts they raise.

The fish and herbs were stewed in a soup pot with some kind of beans, and they stirred vigorously with a spoon to repel insects and poisons, and this fish meat paste was the food of the hunters who would soon return.

Those who don't participate in battles and hunting are lucky to have some leftover mashed meat soup and bean paste.

In any case, by surrendering to Port Harrison, the tribe was able to eat enough clean food and use better fishing tools to prevent starvation.

That's progress.

The people who have been given the food eat it silently, and they don't think the food that has just come out of the pot is hot - in the redwood forest, no creature will wait for you to cool the food, mosquitoes will not, colonies will not, miasma will not, and if you don't eat it while it's hot, it's tantamount to not being responsible for your own stomach.

The return of the hunting party did not interrupt the eating of the others, and only a good harvest could be celebrated by the tribesmen.

The coastal villages of the Tenglan Department are very simple, in order to facilitate demolition and reconstruction, which is their experience in fighting storms and big waves for many years, but no matter how simple, their architectural layout is very orderly.

The chieftain's tent in the middle of the village is covered with mud fish skin, which is waterproof and warm, and can even be used as a sail in times of crisis.

The chief of the Tenglan Ministry, a man with a sturdy build, but missing an ear, was intently reading a rudimentary atlas.

Handbook of Common Poultry Husbandry

Next to his tent, there was a rudimentary, wooden fence of chickens, in which a dozen chickens were pecking at food scraps and bugs on the ground, these chickens had scales on their heads and sharp claws, and it was not difficult to imagine that they were actually quite combative, and it would not be a problem to catch at least a few children blind.

Beside the chief, an old native shaman was tinkering with chicken feed.

"When are you going to move next to Port Harrison?"

While making chicken feed, the shaman suddenly spoke: "Be quick, or you may be preempted by the other tribes - the tribe that relocates first can get four pairs of beef cattle and ten pairs of forest sheep, and maybe even twelve fat pigs." I'm old, I don't have a face, I want these things very much, I want to eat meat. ”

"Tomorrow."

The chief spoke, his voice low: "The Spirit of the Waves is dead, and the Spirit of the Drum Waves has lost contact due to anger, so we don't have much choice but to follow the instructions of Port Harrison...... And you're right. ”

"I want to eat meat too."

The strong man raised his head and looked at the chicken pen in front of him...... Once upon a time, there was a lot of fish to be stored in an underground ice cave, and it was necessary to raise livestock. The turquoise South China Sea is their largest pasture, and the great shaman who can summon many sea beasts at its peak only needs a soft cry to let the tribe harvest food that cannot be eaten for a year.

But time flows.

"The time of the Redwoods is over."

He muttered to himself, "Maybe it's long gone, but we still won't admit it...... I don't want to believe it. ”

"yes."

The shaman whispered, "It's time for us too, to think about the future. ”

Speaking of this, the shaman's expression moved, and he seemed to perceive something: "Speaking of which, a powerful demonic beast has recently appeared on the side of Odell Reef, it should be an ironclad shark that is about to advance, or even has advanced to the second energy level. ”

"It's been moving quite a lot lately, do you need to tell Port Harrison about this?"

"No, say more and make more mistakes, and say less and make fewer mistakes."

The chief raised his head and looked at the sea, he seemed to hear something vaguely, but shook his head slightly: "Even if we want to be allegiant, the object of allegiance is Harrison Port...... Iron Shark or Steel Armored Shark is a frequent activity, and it is only the warships of the Empire that suffer. ”

"It's really a loss, maybe our port chief will have to celebrate happily."

The two looked at the sea.

On the other side of the sea, a silver dorsal fin is cutting through the waves, arcing excitedly, speeding towards the shore.

"Yes, shark, he's recovering well!"

Taking advantage of the rainstorm, Ian made his way to the shore to meet the sharks.

The fins of the giant metal shark that had been broken by the attack of parasites and giant eels, as well as the broken wounds on its body, had all regenerated, but the newly formed tissue was a little too silvery and shiny, not matte silver like the rest of the body, and looked slightly incongruous.

It may need to be aged once.

"Wow!"

Seeing Ian's arrival, the shark shark looked very energetic, and happily circled the seaside several times - the environment of the crystal lake seemed to be really suitable for the development of Warcraft, and it had only been a few days, and it looked like it had grown again.

But maybe it's better to eat? After all, the overlord of this sea area, Teng, has recently disappeared, the Aether Crystal Dragon has died, and the Spirit of the Drum Waves should be lurking in the depths of Odell Reef to recuperate, as a high-level ironclad shark of the first energy level, the shark shark is indeed the existence at the top of the ecological niche.

That's really whatever you want!

"Don't turn around, quick, this is not the place to show you gifts, let's go back to the base."

Riding the shark, Ian and the other party dived to the bottom of the sea together, heading towards the South China Sea maze.

The entrance to the Labyrinth is located in an underwater entrance around Odell Reef, which was originally closed, but can be opened by the permission of the Master of the Labyrinth, and after Ian gave Shark permission with the highest administrator privilege, Shark can also be opened alone.

It's no wonder that the Crystallized Dragon can occasionally appear in the open sea, not because the ruins are missing, but because it has permission to leave the ruins alone.

Entering the Crystal Lake from this entrance is very fast, if I have to say, it is probably similar to the 'fast passage' that appears after a maze is opened in an RPG game, and it doesn't take long for Ian to arrive at the lair where the crystal dragon once was.

"Hey, where's the corpse of the Aether Crystal Dragon?"

At the first moment, Ian was a little surprised to notice that the corpse of the Crystal Dragon, which was originally located on the central island of the Crystal Lake, was gone, but soon, he suddenly realized: "Oh, it turned out to be one with the Crystal Island...... I see, this somewhat abrupt crystallized island pillar is the condensation of the corpses of the crystallized dragons of the past dynasties! ”

He saw that the crystal island that was constantly releasing spiritual energy halos was obviously one layer taller and larger, and the image of a hovering crystal dragon could be faintly seen at the top.

And in the center of this crystalline island, a dragon egg emitting a white shimmer of light circulated the light and shadow of the essemp structure on the surface, which was obviously very healthy.

From this point of view, this place really belongs to the 'dragon-made' psionic field in a sense.
