Chapter 326: Whale Cruise in the Blue Sea
There are also risks associated with the pearl harvesting in the shell field.
The ocean is a great treasure, and those who have strength get it; Human beings are invading, and the sea tribe is the master, and when there is a conflict of interests, there are countless disputes of one kind or another, and even life and death disputes.
Over the years, in the various seasons of the harvest of shellfish, similar vicious incidents are not uncommon, in fact, there is no right or wrong, there is no owner, why can't you pick me?
Human pirates will not come to attack at this stage, because they are not able to go to the bottom of the sea to dive for pearls themselves, and they will die of exhaustion.
Pirates usually pick the end of pearl diving in January and return with a full load; The Sea Tribes, on the other hand, will come to cause trouble during pearl diving, and only God knows what their motives are.
Three monks took turns to be on duty, and Lu Shilun was the first to be on duty for ten days; Houba is the second, and Zeng Ji is worth the last ten days.
The sea area of a radius of 100 miles, in the altitude of hundreds of zhang is still very clear, this sea area is calm in April and May every year, there are few monstrous waves, complex weather, more conducive to pearl diving operations, after all, the people who work are ordinary people, and they have almost no resistance to bad weather.
The warbler found a fishing boat at random, sat on the top of the mast, and swayed with the waves; Because there is no need to open a sail, the fishing boat maintains a very low speed when casting the net, so even high is nothing to him.
The monks of the Three Realms of Heaven are not yet able to adapt to the cultivation that is always flying in the air, they always have to fall.
The fishermen are toiling hard, pulling up heavy nets by wheels, spreading a large number of luminous shells on the deck, dividing them into piles, nervously looking for luminous shells containing spirit beads, this process has to go through a coarse sift and sift before pushing those ordinary luminous shells back into the water.
The spirit bead is very valuable, and it has no exchange relationship with the currency of the secular world at all, just one may be enough for their life for a lifetime, but they can't hide a single one.
The reason why all the cultivators in the entire fleet, except for the three cultivators such as Hou Ba, were ordinary mortals, was to guard against this; If there were low-ranking monks mixed in, it would be difficult for anyone to resist such temptation.
Mortals are different, they can't hide even a spirit bead at all, and they can't swallow it in their stomachs.
Interests determine the entire process of pearl diving, including the composition of personnel, everything.
Hou Ying sat on the top of the mast, and continued her practice in such a swing, waiting for the news of the possible attack, in Zeng Ji's words, this probability was even more than 30%.
The only thing that reassures them is that the sea monster will not come to such a close sea, for those big demons, the water at a depth of twenty or thirty zhang can also be called the ocean? Some of them are even larger than this depth.
It's as ridiculous as a human swimming in a creek that doesn't reach his feet and necks.
Ten days later, he will fly and patrol, which is basically flying around the entire shell field, and there is no need for speed, and how fast you fly only depends on your sense of responsibility.
He is already a little accustomed to the marine environment, and now he has a certain understanding of some things, and he is no longer as confused as when he first came; This sea area is relatively shallow, and it is difficult to hide the whereabouts of anything unusual.
The most important thing is that the fishermen on the fishing boats must be the first to find out, and they will send a distress signal at the slightest disturbance.
Several times he flew around because of such a startle, and finally found that it was nothing more than a false alarm.
In the ocean, there will always be some strange existences, they look like demons, but in fact they are just ordinary sea creatures looking for food.
At the edge of the shell field, he found an uninvited guest, secretly devouring the spirit shell; It was his neighbor, the red pig and its few remaining children.
The mother of the red worm did not eat it, probably because she knew that if she ate it, she would inevitably expose her hidden treasures, and it was the dozens of small red squids that swallowed the spirit shell, which limited the amount of food.
It's normal that Lu Shilun didn't notice it, it's really that this guy is too good at disguise, but Hou Ying and the Chiqi family are too familiar, so they can't escape his ears and eyes.
He didn't stop the little ones from eating, how much could they eat? Moreover, the resources of the seabed should be shared by all living beings
Look, just pretend not to know and leave.
The ten days of the warbler have also been undisturbed, and 20 days have passed, and it seems that there is a great possibility that this pearl diving will be spent safely.
Not only did he think so, but Lu Shilun and Zeng Ji also thought so, so, according to the usual laws of the Heavenly Dao, when everyone thought that it was close to safety, trouble suddenly came.
He was depressed with a few iconic roars that echoed over the sea, and the two companions had been fine when they had been on patrol before, but this was not his turn on the first day, and this was not a good luck.
There is a group of killer whales, a species of creatures that are not picky eaters, eating everything, schools of fish, shellfish, as long as they can get into their mouths; Their super strong gastric juice can't even hold on to hard shells for long, and most importantly, they know that glow-in-the-dark shells are the most nutritious in this season.
They swallow lingbei, just like humans swallow pills; But there is still a moderation in human swallowing pills, these killer whales don't think about it so much, the strong vitality of the kraken makes them not afraid of any form of tonic, especially the naturally formed spirit shell.
The killer whale is called the whale, but its size is relatively delicate in the cetacean genealogy, and of course, it is also compared to their cousins in the deep sea, the Big Mac, in the eyes of humans, they are still behemoths.
Adult killer whales are four or five feet long, thicker than sharks, sharp teeth, and can feel the indescribable oppression in one mouth.
This group of killer whales migrated here, there are dozens of them, attracted by the luminous shells, which is a great supplement for them, how can they easily let go?
Among them, the leader is more than a dozen demon whales, and there are as many as seven or eight that can be initially transformed, according to the understanding of the human cultivation world, this is basically the same level as the human beings through the three realms of heaven, so under a few pressures, the howling sound will be so poignant.
When Hou Ying and Lu Shilun arrived, they saw such a situation, but fortunately, there was no conflict yet, and the two sides were still in a confrontation.
"What's the situation?" Lu Shilun is from Lihai Jiedu Mansion, and he is naturally the leader of the three.
Zeng turned pale, "These killer whales suddenly appeared, and they want to share half of the shellfish field!" The leader's attitude is resolute, and I'm afraid it's hard to talk about it."
Lu Shilun stepped forward, "A few fellow Daoists, the Xiedao Shellfish Farm has been operating in my southwest countries for hundreds of years, the state has national laws, and the sea has sea rules.
There are countless similar places in the ocean, and with the power of the whale clan, where can you not get it, why bother here, you will not get much, and it will ruin the harmony between you and me."
A killer whale came out of the crowd, half-humanoid, with a human body, but it was on top of a huge whale head, which was very ridiculous, but the big mouth seemed to be fierce and unabated.
"Is there harmony between humans and my sea people? I've never heard of it! The Sea Clan can live in peace with any race, but they don't have sex with bandits.
Humans have been operating here for hundreds of years, and this is human's? Joke, then our sea clan was born and grew up in Si, and our ancestors have been tens of thousands of years for generations, what should we say?
Letting you wait to leave is already an extrajudicial favor, and you still have to talk about conditions, do you really think that Lizhihai is the territory of mankind?"
