There are two roads leading to the territory of the Icesea Vakiri.

One is the land traffic from the Kur village, and the other is the sea traffic from the Dum village.

The coastline along the way has obstacles such as mountains and reefs, and there are few sandy beaches suitable for landing.

In the cold regions of the north, there are generally few sandy beaches and many stones.

Fishermen also choose to live and fish near the gentle slopes of the beach, where the steep cliffs and rocky beaches are not suitable for survival.

The village of Ferry was built because of this habitable coastal beach, but pirates also chose this suitable area for landing.

At the same time, the coastal area is not just a place suitable for the existence of a port, and the beach area is not the same as the port area.

The village of Ferry is not suitable for a harbor here, and the beach here is more suitable for the landing of pirate boats.

Every time a big ship comes, it has to land at low tide, but in this era, there is no need to make too complicated distinctions, and it is a lucky thing to be able to get here.

Lawrence took Kehalan in a small boat to the reef between the village of Dum and the Vakiri tribe, followed by a boat laden with manure.

The water is 10 meters deep, and there are reefs nearby, which are ideal for kelp growth.

Keharan looked at the nearby wild sea plants, which were many kinds of seaweeds, most of which looked like hair floating loosely on the surface of the sea.

There is no need for Keharan's sorcery, these terrifying marine algae like devil's hair have taken over a large area.

Lawrence sat on the boat and watched the terrifying seaweed around him, and the seaweed community in front of him was at least a dozen square meters in size, and the larger one was as wide as a basketball court.

The waves crashed against the seaweed, creating cloudy green sewage and white spray.

Also on the boat were nearby fishermen, including the first to be captured by the ferrymen.

"Underneath the seaweed, there are big crabs, big one-meter-long fish, seals, seabirds, and arowana that eat people. ”

Not surprisingly, the area itself is an area where seals are active, and cavemen come here to hunt in the winter.

During the food crisis, Doug and others also caught large fish that were easy to catch here, relying on the seaweed community in winter and the active fish in this marine forest.

There is not much crab meat, it is troublesome to cook, and the fuel in winter is extremely expensive, and the barbarians refuse to eat it even if they lose it.

Sea crabs and lobsters are junk food in this era, regardless of north and south.

Lawrence asked, "What is an Arowana?" ”

Arif looked nearby, "It's a very long fish, longer than the sea vegetables over there, with a body as thick as this boat, and a mouth full of teeth, which will suddenly bite the people on the boat!" ”

Lawrence looked at the nearby seaweed, which was about sixteen or seventeen meters long.

Khalan laughed, "I know what kind of fish he's talking about, a flattened sea serpent. ”

Lawrence asked, "Is it dangerous?" ”

"It's dangerous, but if you're not too lucky, you can't usually encounter it." "It's okay to meet it, this fish needs to go around in circles to turn around, and its body can't turn too fast, and it usually won't turn back if it misses," Keharan explained. ”

Lawrence nodded, feeling that the oceans of this era were still very dangerous.

"Let's get started." Lawrence waved to his men.

The sailors on the other boat quickly pushed two barrels into the sea, and then continued to push down more manure barrels.

The sea soon became even more polluted.

Covering his nose with a linen soaked in herbs, Keharan said, "I probably haven't eaten fish and sea vegetables for a long time. ”

Lawrence said, "Me too. ”

As the workers rowed back, Kharan chanted a spell that would invoke his sorcery as the boat under him was about to leave the outermost kelp forest.

The seaweed, which looked like a witch's hair, instantly turned into a swimming sea serpent, dancing wildly in the water.

Seaweed itself grows extremely fast, and after being ripened, it begins to grow wildly and expand savagely.

Fragile seagrasses quickly wither, curl up, crumble, and settle on the ocean floor.

Strong seagrass quickly absorbs nearby nutrients and becomes longer, wider, thicker, and more massive.

The schools of fish in the ocean forests began to flee, and many of them were pushed directly to the surface by the seaweed, bouncing on the dense and terrifying swamp seaweed, and it didn't take long for them to die of dehydration and exposure.

Lawrence and the rest of the sailors rowed out of the place quickly, and the maturing seaweed forest would not end with Keharan's departure, but would continue to suck nutrients to strengthen itself.

It's like a machine that has been started, and with a little stimulation, it runs into a set of tasks that are constantly decaying, but can last for a long time.

Nutrients in nearby seawater, as well as dead algae, fish, and other corpses, form life-burning fuel.

At this time, whether it is sea urchins, fish and shrimp that eat seaweed, or large fish and small fish that live in the seaweed forest, they will become food for seaweed.

The smell of dead fish, shrimp, shellfish and seaweed itself can soon form new poisonous mountains at sea.

Lawrence and the others soon left the vicinity of Poison Mountain.

After rowing out for more than ten minutes, you can still see Seaweed Mountain in the distance.

It was black and oppressive, and from time to time seabirds fell from the sky and landed on top of the seaweed.

Lawrence watched for a long time, and except for a few birds that flew quickly as soon as they went down, most of the seabirds that fell down to eat fish never flew again.

These overstretched seaweeds have a significant impact on nearby fish populations and ecosystems.

Keharan still covered his nose after moving away from there, and said vaguely, "What are you going to do?" Our fishing grounds here have been destroyed, and in the future, these people on the beach will have to go further if they want to eat fish. ”

Lawrence said indifferently: "The sea is different from the land, the seaweed decomposes in a year at most, and there are a lot of giant beasts in the ocean. ”

"It doesn't matter if we don't eat fish for a year, there are 150 people on the beach, and they are all busy building villages and fortifications, so they don't need to go out to sea to fish."

"Especially since the slaves of these new water capitals have not stabilized yet, it will be more troublesome for them to go to sea."

Kehallan understood Lawrence's thoughts.

Now this side does not depend on the food of the sea, and does not want to go to the sea at all except for trade.

On the contrary, the Wakiri people near the ice sea are more dependent on fish from the nearby seas.

Their small boat warships are suitable for the offshore area, and if they are too far from the coast, they can easily be attacked by the behemoths of the deep.

Small and medium-sized sea beasts like to be active in the sea area above 20 meters, and marine giant beasts are basically active in the ocean area above 100 meters.

Seaweeds, on the other hand, like to expand along the bottom reefs that they can touch in the offshore area.

Because of the abundant marine resources, the Wakiri people have been fishing for fish and shrimp in the offshore area for generations, and their navigation skills are excellent, but the fishing technology is very primitive and simple, and it is important to pay attention to one that can be used.

If you can catch a big fish more than a meter long, there is no need to upgrade your fishing skills, and you can't eat it all if you have more.

Mountain people are basically not afraid of heights, but most of the Vakiri people have a very serious fear of the deep sea.

Except for a very small number of people who are forced to rush out of the wild instinct that is not afraid of death, many of the rest will be in extreme fear for a considerable period of time after encountering a huge object.

The main thing is that in this era, there are really sea monsters active under the ship, and if you encounter it once, you will never want to encounter it again.

They usually hunt whales mainly for small whale colonies, and the slightly larger ones mainly rely on picking.

Not only the Vakiri, but also the barbarians of the Loving Kingdom like to brag about what a huge monster they have killed, but in fact these barbarians are extremely afraid of giant monsters!

The fifty-meter Crowfeather Colossus struck not only the eyes of the barbarians, but also their brains.
