Harrison Port is located under the Great Rift Valley, along the Ewok River, on the side of the Byson Mountains, and on the coast of the South China Sea. It is a rare highland in the coastal area. While it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the surrounding land is also extremely fertile, suitable for
Farming has the basic elements of any big city.
The only reason why Harrison Port has not developed into a southern metropolis is that the remoteness between the port and other large cities in the empire is winding and difficult mountain roads, steep and wide rift valleys, and fast-flowing rivers.
And a jungle full of cannibal natives.
Indeed, the more remote the place, the more profitable business is.
The various rare catches produced in Harrison Port, various jungle herbs, as well as rock salt and precious minerals from the Byson Mountains are all specialties that can be sold at high prices externally.
In addition, fleets from Canaan Moore occasionally come here to sell their goods... But if they want to buy general elven specialties, merchants only have to climb over the towering Fafut Mountains.
They can only be smuggled from the checkpoint in the Kalan Mountains. This is not only a matter of beheading, but also the possibility of being frozen to death by the wind and snow in the Kalan Snow Mountains.
In contrast, there is at least one official road that can be walked in the hot and humid mountains and jungles of Nanling.
But even with so many advantages, except for those powerful large caravans, ordinary small and medium-sized chambers of commerce do not dare to come to Harrison Port.
There isn't much of a reason, it's mainly because of Warcraft.
The farther away you are from human habitation and deep into the mountains with lush jungles, the more monsters there are, the stronger they are, and the less afraid they are of people.
If you don't have enough force to guard against the monsters along the way, and you just try your luck and run a business for profit, the final result will definitely be that you become the prey of the Nanling monsters.
It is remote, has many monsters, and is extremely difficult to develop, so there are few people visiting it. This is why Harrison Port is only a remote port on the frontier until now.
But, on the other hand, if you have enough strength to hunt monsters, then the southern border can be considered a good place.
Located northeast of Harrison Port, there is an inland reef area. When the tide goes out, a large number of coral reefs will emerge from the water, forming a maze-like reef group. If someone accidentally enters it at that time, or intends to catch the rare fish in the reef group,
If he gets it, then he will never be able to leave it again.
Because, in this area called the "Illusion Labyrinth Reef Group", there are more than fifteen different kinds of amphibious and marine monsters. Hidden in the colorful coral fortress are steep water cliffs and fissures and undercurrents, as well as
A dangerous phantom plant called 'Mazeweed'.
Labyrinth algae is a strange symbiotic algae. It does not take root on the seabed. Instead, it lives in symbiosis with a low-level monster called "fortification coral". This kind of coral can build a strong fortress in the sea and will build a boarding place for it.
, provide nutrients.
Labyrinth algae secrete neurotoxins that gather into sea fog, creating illusions and inducing dangerous sea beasts that may damage coral reefs to stay away from the reefs, or trap them into traps and become their own nutrients.
In addition, Labyrinth algae is also the natural enemy of starfish. Labyrinth algae can insert its leaves into the stomach pouch of starfish to secrete venom, melting and absorbing it from the inside out.
The people of Nanling have always stayed away from the Fantasy Labyrinth Reef Group, and even protected it. Even though the products here are extremely rich, and the core skeleton of the fortification coral is one of the best construction and even weapon materials, it itself is also a large number of fish in the offshore.
In the long run, destroying the ecological balance of the reef group will completely outweigh the gains and losses.
However, if you only hunt a few monsters occasionally, it can be considered a part of the natural balance.
Terra 766, December 17, afternoon.
Three months after the great storm in the south.
In the intersecting area of flat yellow sand beach and coastal jungle, behind a thorny bush, a small figure is waiting.
The offshore sea breeze blew by, and the moist and cold air made the leaves rustle.
Ian lurked behind the bushes, completely ignoring the fine barbs on the leaves and tree trunks of the surrounding plants. There was a light layer of blood on the white-haired boy's seemingly slender and white skin, but the barbs were enough to pierce the thick skin of the beast when he touched it.
When it reached the boy's skin, it was pushed away as if it were touching a rock, and the sharp thorns were slightly bent.
I have to say that the sea view of Nanling is indeed beautiful. Looking at the sea view in the distance, wicker-like clouds are drifting in the direction of the wind, cutting the blue sky. At the junction of sea and sky, majestic cloud mountains are suspended above the sea.
Reflecting golden sunlight.
But the boy was not enjoying the leisurely sea view now. His breathing slowed down, his heartbeat also slowed down, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the black 'reef-eating sea otter' in the distant sea near the reefs.
This group of sea otters that had just returned from foraging seemed quite lazy, floating lazily on the water to eat.
Strictly speaking, the reef-eating sea otters are not real monsters. Just like there is only one monster fish king in the tidal fish school, only the most powerful sea otters in the group are the real "reef-eating sea otters".
', entering the realm of Warcraft.
Ian could clearly see that among a group of sea otters about one and a half meters long, there were several giant sea otters that were over two meters tall. They had slippery, tough, fire-proof and waterproof dense fur, which was as strong as a reef.
Bones, and incisors strong enough to crush steel.
These monsters, which look more like bears than sea otters, are floating on the sea at the moment, comfortably crushing hard shells and eating the meat inside.
As the name suggests, in addition to ordinary shells, sea urchins and other seafood, reef-eating sea otters also feed on coral reefs. This is because their monster-like skeletons and core muscles require the reef core skeleton of the corals, a special metal-based cell and
Corresponding materials can be formed.
In order to defeat the coral's guardian labyrinth algae, the reef-eating sea otter also has a strong detoxification ability.
Among them, the most powerful sea otter can even turn his skin into a hardness close to that of a coral skeleton in a short period of time. In other words, it is like stone skin and iron bones. Even the toxins of labyrinth algae can be immune to it. An ordinary strong man
Chopping with a sword cannot break the defense.
And this sublimation ability, called the 'Pure Rock Body', is Ian's goal this time.
One of his ‘potion ingredients’!
"The most powerful reef-eating sea otter is also the leader of the group... Well, it's a bit difficult to deal with. It doesn't have any weaknesses in its body."
Using his precognitive vision to observe the sea otters floating on the coast, Ian glanced at them and could see large areas of gray-white ordinary sea otters. Only three were surrounded by blue light mist, which could be called monsters.
Among these three heads, only one was the 'dark blue' that met his requirements.
Generally speaking, wild monsters will have many hidden wounds on their bodies due to years of fighting.
Even if not, most of them will have some "weaknesses" due to unhealthy diet or imperfect natural blood.
The improved 'predictive vision' can help Ian detect the exact location of those 'weaknesses'.
Since two months ago, Ian has finally stabilized his psychic abilities again after experiencing a long period of weakness.
The psychic essence of precognitive vision is the convergence of all Ian's desires.
He was eager to understand the new world of Terra, so when he heard the names of the places outside Harrison Port and the great changes that the entire world was about to undergo, his psychic abilities were stimulated to increase due to the expansion of his world view, and he arrived
