Chapter 434: The Emerald Star (Page 1/1)

Above the sea of clouds, three floating boats slowly sailed to the west, this is the fleet to the eastern border of Middle-earth, Chen Mu is a passenger part-time escort at this time.

It is not surprising that as a mercenary who has just turned regular, he is very lucky to be able to buy a ferry ticket, so it is normal to do some free chores incidentally.

And it is said that it is a part-time guard, but in fact, if you really have to encounter any trouble, you generally don't need a martial artist of Chen Mu's level to go into battle, it is all the business of the air knights.

So it's not so much a part-time guard as a handyman, who does everything except that he doesn't have combat missions.

Fortunately, it is not a non-stop work all day and night, no matter how to say it, there is also the identity of a passenger, and the work arranged for Chen Mu is generally concentrated at night, even if it is his rest and free time during the day.

Today is the third day after he boarded the ship, and the place of boarding was not the previous "Black Crow Island", which was too remote, and there was often no fleet of medium- and long-range floats of this size passing by for several months, even short-range ones.

Come to think of it, the float boat costs a lot of money, and the daily maintenance cost alone is an astronomical amount, and if it is used as a means of short-distance transportation, it is really a loss of bottoms.

Therefore, Chen Mu first took a boat to another nearby big city, "Jade Star", which is one of the top three large islands in the southwest of the "East China Sea" and the closest transportation hub to "Black Crow Island".

When he came here, Chen Mu originally thought that he would have to find another way to raise a travel fee, otherwise he really couldn't afford to buy a long-distance float boat ticket.

Unexpectedly, I was lucky, and I happened to encounter a wave of beast tides, that is, rampaging sea beasts carried out crazy siege activities against human settlements.

Of course, there are actually a lot of such things in the wasteland, and when Chen Mu was still in the Death Desert at the earliest, he had heard of such a beast tide, but most of them were insect tides, and the horror level was even worse than that here.

The scale of this beast tide is not small, and Chen Mu can't say whether it is good luck or bad luck, as soon as he boarded the dock of the "Emerald Star", there was a sudden chaos outside.

Only afterwards did I know that this beast tide belonged to a rare breed that broke out suddenly, not the regular breed when the black tide came, that is, an emergency.

Such a sudden beast tide has a lot of disadvantages, but it also has a lot of benefits.

The disadvantage is that it happened too suddenly, with little warning in advance, and the human side was naturally unprepared.

But in the same way, the sea beasts didn't have time to assemble on a large scale in advance, and they only suddenly fell into a state of rage when the incident happened, and then frantically flocked to the human settlement.

In fact, it is not aimed at humans, but such a wave of beasts is similar to a large-scale passive migration, and any obstacle that stands in the way of progress will be shattered, just like locusts crossing the border, and no grass will grow.

In addition, the reason behind such a sudden beast tide without warning is generally that there is some kind of huge abnormal energy source, and its sudden appearance has changed the energy balance in the entire area, which has triggered the fury of mutant beasts, and even some martial artists will fall into a state of madness.

However, such abnormal energy sources are often some kind of extremely rare and precious good things, which are commonly known as "exotic treasures", which will naturally cause bloody storms.

The same is true of this sudden beast tide, the scale of the beast tide itself is not small, but the sea beasts have not assembled on a large scale in advance, so for a large island like the "Emerald Star", it will not constitute a catastrophe.

Of course, there must be losses, but the "birth of a strange treasure" represented behind this incident makes everyone even more crazy.

All of a sudden, almost all the big and small forces in the entire region, bounty hunters, adventurers, mercenaries, etc., were involved in this incident.

However, not everyone is keen on this kind of thing, although the benefits are great, the risks are also not small, sometimes they fight back and forth, and in the end the baby is not obtained, but they die.

Therefore, some self-aware or calmer warriors and forces will not take the initiative to intervene in this sudden turmoil.

The small floating fleet that Chen Mu is currently in belongs to this kind, they were originally a medium-haul trading fleet that has been going back and forth between the "Shangmeng" and the "East China Sea" for many years, and their business style is also conservative and safe, and they don't even go to the "golden sea" that is known as full of gold, but only specialize in the current route.

Of course, if you want to operate a route involving the "Golden Sea", it is not enough for all cats and dogs.

First, the farther the distance, the greater the risk, not to mention that it is the territory of the mermaid race, although the merfolk tribe is relatively mild, and it is still a long-term hardcore ally of human beings, but no matter how gentle it is, it is also a foreign race, and there are some potential risks more or less.

The second is that the profits of ocean trade are too rich, so there are a lot of open and secret battles here, and the water is so deep that it is a mess, if the background is not hard enough, the strength is not strong enough, then it is better not to die.

And the East China Sea side is much better, although in terms of the degree of chaos, this side is actually far more chaotic than the mermaid tribe's side, you must know that the mermaid tribe implements comprehensive military management, and there are almost ubiquitous "psychic sea beasts" as eyes and ears, for outsiders who dare to make waves and act as traitors, it is really chasing and killing you until you pee your pants.

As for the merfolk themselves, ordinary people will not easily show up to deal directly with humans, they all have special personnel and places to trade, these people are either professional mermaid warriors with good strength, or they are professional mermaid merchants, no less shrewd than their human counterparts.

Therefore, on the whole, the merfolk have very strict management of their own territory, especially the western seas that are bordered by the "East China Sea" as a base camp, and there is basically no room for pirates and raiders to survive.

But this is actually useless, the merfolk can indeed ensure the commercial safety of their own territory, but they can't manage the human side.

Humans are extremely keen creatures who are good at infighting, not to mention that this matter involves a highly profitable trade area such as the "Golden Sea".

Therefore, it is particularly ironic that the sea area bordering the "East China Sea" and the "Golden Sea" is jokingly called the "Paradise Sea" by the ocean-going merchants, but in fact it is also called the "Chaos Sea".

The so-called "paradise" has two meanings, on the surface, it means that in this sea area, as long as you cross the border and enter the area controlled by the mermaids, you have entered a paradise-like paradise, and it is a mess of safety, even if you don't arrange guards on duty, generally speaking, you don't have to worry about any pirates coming to find trouble.

But as long as you are still in the area controlled by humans before you cross the border, you may be sent to heaven at any time, and all kinds of spiral ascension packages you are satisfied with.
