Chapter 14: There Are Dragons Here (2)

"The first is the spine ray. This is not the gentle spine ray that is common in the North Sea." Dast glanced at the people in the tavern, "This kind of fish is full of hard spines and bones, with only a little bit of meat. The spine is not

It’s very sharp and can pierce through the cabin!”

"It sounds like a real disaster. Fortunately, larger ships will prepare some planks for emergency repairs." The sailor said, "I hope I will never encounter this kind of creature that is completely synonymous with trouble while riding in a small boat!"

"Such sharp thorns may be used to make simple weapons." The craftsman interjected from the side, "If I have the chance, I would like to catch some."

"Give up this idea! It's as big as a shark! If you're not careful, the entire fishing boat will be knocked over by it!"

Everyone present exclaimed: "Is it that big??"

"There's no need to be so afraid. It won't attack innocent people, and will even protect people who have fallen into the water back to the shore, unless -"

Daxter deliberately pretended to be a lie and paused.

The patrons in the tavern craned their necks together; "Unless?"

"Unless it suspects that the person who fell into the water has eaten a ray, in which case he will eat the person who fell into the water in one bite!"

More than half of the people in the tavern took a breath of cold air - they live by the sea, eat from the sea, and of course there are rays in the diet. Even if they don't remember eating it, who can guarantee that they were not fed by their parents when they were young and have no memory?

Woolen cloth?

Duster is very satisfied with the response from customers.

"Then, there are sea worms on that route. Those are no ordinary sea worms. Their length is basically more than forty cubits, and the width of their bodies is about as thick as a child's wrist! If a ship accidentally sails in,

Their territory, they will crawl along the edge of the boat and onto the boat!”

Forty cubits, that's nearly 18 meters in length, which is a bit larger than some small fishing boats. When they heard that such a long insect would crawl onto the boat, many customers got goosebumps.

"What do these bugs look like?" someone asked fearfully. "Like a centipede, or do they have hair all over their body like a caterpillar?"

"No, the skin of these sea worms is very smooth! But don't touch it just because the skin is smooth. If you accidentally touch it, the skin at the contact area will soon swell, become inflamed and suppurate soon, and it will be very troublesome.

!If it’s been touched in many places, or it’s been wrapped around the body, the doctor won’t be able to help you! But this insect also has natural enemies, and that’s the many-legged monster!”

"Many-legged monster?" everyone present asked in unison.

Dast did not continue speaking, but ordered the empty wine glass.

"Boss, serve the wine!" said the aquatic product merchant, "I will make sure he drinks enough today!"

Dast nodded and thanked the aquatic product merchant, and then continued:

"The Myriapod is also a kind of insect. It has the beard and tail of a shrimp, legs like a centipede, and claws like a crab at the front, but it is huge enough to clamp an adult. Its main food is the sea.

Bugs. But don’t like them because they hunt sailors and bathers too!”

Dast took another sip of wine, touched his mouth, and continued:

"It is very smart. When catching prey, it will grab it with all its legs, and then scratch the skin with its pincers. In this way, the smell of blood will attract more prey for it to hunt. It also

It will not eat up the meat of its prey, but will leave some left in the opening of its residence, which can also attract new prey! The scary thing is that the color of its body will change with the surrounding environment, although it is

It’s a huge thing, but if you don’t pay attention, you won’t be able to find it in ambush!”

The customers all felt chills all over their bodies. Some even thought that they were bugs on a spider web, and that the many-legged monsters were approaching them like spiders...

"Then what is the sword-beaked whale you just talked about?" Someone asked, "Is it a special kind of whale?"

"Whales? It's probably more appropriate to say they are monsters!" Dust said more and more enthusiastically. He simply stood up and put one foot on the chair. "Their heads are not like fish at all, but have faces like owls."

Hole! Its mouth is like a bottomless pit, the look in its eyes is as terrifying as that of a devil, its back is as angular as a sword, and its nose is also very sharp. Compared with the previous monsters, the sword-beaked whale has a sense of purpose.

Chase any ship you see until you capsize it!"

"Why have we never heard of these monsters?" Someone asked in fear, "Dast, have you seen all these monsters with your own eyes?"

"I've never seen it before! These are all the information found by the King of Sweden! If it weren't for these monsters, how could this channel have been hidden until today?"

"Why did the King of Sweden choose this route? If you want to go to Vinland, wouldn't it be better to go directly through Iceland?"

"That's because in the middle of this waterway, there is an uninhabited island inhabited by dragons." Dast said mysteriously, "The King of Sweden didn't just want to go to Vinland this time, but wanted to take the uninhabited island to the island."

Human Island is also included in my territory!"

Just when Dust was about to continue saying something, the door of the tavern opened again. A gust of cold wind blew in, and Amy stood at the door with a somewhat unsightly expression, followed by a group of guards.

The tavern suddenly fell silent, and the customers surrounding Dast fled back to their seats. The owner of the tavern stammered and explained: "I...I advised them not to talk about Vinland.

of."

"Don't look at me, I didn't say anything about Vinland!" Dast raised his hands in surrender, "I swear on the boss's mead, I'm talking about monsters on the waterway, and every one of them is far away from Vinland.

Very, you can’t hit it with eight poles!”

"Don't panic, I'm not here for this." Amy glanced at everyone, "Did you just see a foreigner wearing a black hat?"

"A foreigner with a black hat? There is one sitting there..."

Dast turned around and wanted to point out the man, but after searching around for a long time, he couldn't find the foreigner wearing the black hat just now.

"Hey, he was there just now. When did he leave?" Dast scratched his hair in confusion, "What happened to him?"

"Intelligence shows that he has been inquiring about Vinland in the past few days, and has even tried to meet with the Aztlan people many times! I suspect that he is a commercial spy sent by a foreign country!"

Amy bent down and stared seriously at Dust, who was already a little drunk:

"'Master', the route that the King of Sweden will take next is top secret information. You really didn't reveal it while drunk, did you?"

"Don't worry!" Dast patted his chest vigorously, his face slightly red from being drunk. "Everyone present can testify that I only talked about the monsters on the route. As for how to take the route and which direction it goes.

, I didn’t mention a single word!”
