Shana's judgment naturally came from her familiarity with the sea, so the three of them simply pointed in one direction and headed forward, preparing to see how long it would take to see the legendary beach.
The result was beyond their expectations. They walked no matter how far they went. The initial judgment was that they had walked at least half the distance from Carlyle City to here, but there were still only rugged boulders on the seaside.
"It's not like the coastline here only has these big rocks."
Looking at the countless rocks in his sight, Fang Qiubai sighed helplessly.
"It's definitely impossible. Due to the tide, the stones on the seashore will be washed into fine sand over a long period of time and form a beach."
Shana immediately retorted. She knew this common sense quite well.
"What you said is correct, but these stones have no trace of being wet at all."
Fang Qiubai pointed at the stones under his feet and reminded him. It's strange to say that these stones are obviously on the beach, but they are not wet at all and have no trace of water at all.
"Is the sea always so peaceful?"
Illya's attention has been focused on the vast sea in front of her.
Fang Qiubai was still joking with Shana, but after listening to Ilia's words, he focused on the calm sea.
"Speaking of which, the sea is too calm, isn't it?"
After watching it for a while, Fang Qiubai discovered something strange.
Although there is no strong wind now, the sea in front of us is as calm as a mirror, without a trace of ripples.
"It is indeed too peaceful, almost like stagnant water!"
Shana echoed, this is obviously the beach, but there is no movement in the sea water, let alone the rise and fall of the tide.
The three of them thought about it for a while and decided to continue walking along this strange coastline. After all, the owner of the specialty shop, Olidel, said that her tribe lived by the sea, but it was difficult to see such a place full of rocks.
It doesn't look like it's habitable.
After advancing almost the same distance, Fang Qiubai felt that something was wrong. I was afraid that he had chosen the wrong direction when he first saw the sea. If Audrey was right, he should have reached their destination long ago.
Place of residence.
In desperation, the three of them turned around and walked towards the way they came, and then returned to the place where they chose the direction. This time the three of them changed the direction. In just a few minutes, they saw many houses made of bamboo and wood.
.
"Ha... it turns out that I chose the wrong direction."
Seeing the building complex in front of him, although not too dense, could at least accommodate nearly a thousand people, Fang Qiubai smiled helplessly.
"It looks like there won't be a beach on the beach here."
Shana suddenly said this, because even in this residential area, there is no sand at all, it is all huge rocks.
Those houses were built on these rocks, and even half of some houses were suspended in the air. Below them were round wooden pillars inserted into the sea to support the houses.
"Anyway, let's ask first and then talk."
Fang Qiubai looked around. It could be said that except for the sea, there were no conditions that could provide for life. He could not plant or breed. He had no idea how these people lived among the rocks in the mountains and plains.
After walking in, Fang Qiubai was surprised to find that among the people coming and going in this village, some looked no different from ordinary people, but some had a thick tail below their waist, which they used to slide underground when walking.
.
"This is the Tidal Naga tribe. If their bodies touch water, they will return to their original form."
Seeing Fang Qiubai looking at those people strangely, Illya explained in a low voice.
As soon as the three of them entered this settlement, an old man who looked to be quite old came to greet them.
"How are the guests? I wonder why they came all the way?"
The old man's words were very polite and straightforward. Fang Qiubai was stunned for a moment and almost didn't remember what he was here for.
"Oh, by the way, you must be Audrey's tribe, right? We actually came here just to visit the Endless Sea."
After thinking about it for a while, he realized that his original intention was to catch seafood, but on the way he changed it to enjoying the beach. Fang Qiubai could only explain casually.
"Are you another customer who came here after seeing the things in that girl's shop? Please come with me."
The old man didn't seem surprised by this answer, he just nodded and motioned for the three of them to follow him.
"What's so good about the endless sea? Every year some self-righteous people waste their lives."
While leading the three people forward, the old man complained in a low voice.
"Audrey said the same thing. Is this endless sea really that dangerous?"
Illya looked at the calm sea and asked curiously.
"It's very dangerous. Although the seaside is relatively peaceful, as long as you go a little deeper into the sea, there will be all kinds of ancient behemoths. Those who are weaker are okay, at least they can compete with human power. Those ancient ones with huge size and strength have broken through the holy level.
Sea beasts are simply invincible."
The old man pointed to the endless sea and explained very plainly. Perhaps he was afraid that a few people would not believe him before he added another sentence.
"There are so many treasures in the sea. Everything that is spread out has been snatched up by countless people, but why are there so few? Why don't those with high strength, such as the so-called god-level masters, come to the endless sea to search for them?"
"You don't mean to say that the monsters here are so powerful that even god-level experts dare not come, do you?"
Fang Qiubai was slightly surprised. Hearing what the old man meant, it seemed that the sea beasts in the Endless Sea existed above the god level.
"Indeed, there are many sea beasts here that have reached the so-called god level. In addition, they are huge in size, numerous in number, and occupy geographical advantages. Who dares to come and die? Except for us, Tidal Naga, who can use the habits of those sea beasts to
Try to avoid their activities at the beach, who would dare from other races?"
The old man led the three of them into a pavilion-like building and said while motioning for Fang Qiubai and others to sit down.
"Aside from things like coral, abalone, and sea cucumbers, what other treasures are there in the sea?"
Fang Qiubai thought that what the old man said just now would be looted if it was circulated here, but the corals should not be exaggerated to this extent, so he asked.
"The most recent one is the Mask of Deception found by Kalba. This is the fifth mask of fraud found in hundreds of years. It is a mask of fraud that can change a person's appearance and even slightly adjust his body shape. We Nagas sell things in a reasonable way.
It was sold at a very high price, but I heard that the price of this thing later increased a thousand times, and it was because it was of little use."
The old man's words made Fang Qiubai sweat. He stretched out his hand and took out Ai Erxi's mask and said with a bright smile.
"Is this the mask you're talking about?"
"Oh, I didn't expect it to be here with you. It's exactly this thing! Just sit down for a while and take a look at the sea scenery. Don't lose your life because of impulsiveness."
Seeing the mask that Fang Qiubai took out, the old man was surprised. He nodded, stood up and said.
Seeing the old man slowly walking away, Fang Qiubai looked towards the sea as the other man said.
I have to say that this pavilion was built quite appropriately. From this location, you can have a panoramic view of the vast sea, although the sea is nothing but calm.
"It's really big enough, but I didn't expect Aierxi's mask to be a product here."
Ilya lay on the railing and looked at the sea and said, it was the first time she saw the sea and she thought the sea was very beautiful no matter how she looked at it.
"Speaking of it, Xiaoya, you haven't seen the sea before. Isn't there any record in the books?"
Shana had no interest in such a sea. She looked at Illya who was very absorbed in watching the sea and asked.
"No, this is the first time I have heard of the Endless Sea. It has not been recorded in any previous books."
Illya shook her head, closed her eyes and thought for a moment before answering.
"It seems that this place must have some kind of story, maybe it's bigger than the place where the stars descend."
Thinking of what the old man said about the sea containing countless sea beasts and magical treasures, Fang Qiubai felt that there must be something interesting in it.
"Guys, let's try the specialties of the Endless Sea. These seafood can't be eaten anywhere else."
While several people were talking, the old man came over with two young Nagas. The two young Nagas held several plates in their hands, and the dishes in them were all dishes Ilia had never seen before.
"I'm so polite, old man, but I still don't know what to call you."
Seeing the old man's enthusiasm, Fang Qiubai stood up sheepishly and asked.
"Haha, old man Thomas, just call me by my name. Everyone who comes to our place is a guest, and these things are not expensive, so please don't be polite."
Thomas laughed heartily and pointed to the things on the plate.
"That is to say, that girl Audrey likes to take out these dried things and sell them as souvenirs to others to make her happy. She has had quite a few customers in the past few years."
"We only learned about the Endless Sea from Audrey. Can you introduce it to us?"
It has to be said that as Nagas who rely on the sea for survival, even the dishes they make with seafood are quite delicious. After taking a bite, Fang Qiubai used a lot of perseverance to change his attention and ask.
"Speaking of the Endless Sea, most people really don't know about it, and because of the special nature of this place, no one has any idea. Our ancestors also migrated here and found a peaceful life."
"It's a bit off topic. Our Nagas in the Endless Sea don't know its history. We only know that the sea here is like a dead pool. There is never a tide, not even a bigger wave.
Of course, except for the waves caused by the battles between sea beasts."
"When heading towards the sea from the seaside, there is a safe distance within three to five thousand meters. There will be no sea animals and there is no danger, but it is difficult to find anything. Beyond five thousand meters, the water depth will suddenly become more than a hundred meters deep.
Marine animals also began to appear, and these seafood were collected within this range."
"Further forward, within a range of about a hundred times, there is a high-risk zone. Saint-level sea beasts can be seen everywhere in it, and they come in groups. Even our Nagas only dare to enter this area to explore during certain special periods.
But even so, accidents often happen.”
"Further ahead is a forbidden area that even our Nagas cannot enter. No one can come back alive. We have seen from a distance a terrifying sea beast the size of a village."
When Thomas talked about this huge sea beast, a look of surprise appeared on Thomas' originally calm face.
"The village is so big?"
Illya couldn't understand the size of this sea beast, so she couldn't help but ask.
"To put it simply, it was a terrifying thing that was at least a kilometer long. When we saw this guy, he spit out icicles as thick as five or six adult men's arms as if they were breathing. The icicles passed by
Even the sea was frozen everywhere, and the target he was targeting, a large sea beast whose strength exceeded the holy level, was preyed upon with little resistance."
Fang Qiubai and others could feel Thomas' inner fear when he told the story, and Xia Na asked in confusion.
"Aren't you afraid of living here? The scary guy you mentioned could kill you with just one breath."
"Hey, Shana..."
Fang Qiubai didn't expect Shana to speak so frankly. He quickly patted Shana on the head, but Shana glared back fiercely.
"Haha, it's okay. It's a good thing for a little girl to speak directly."
Thomas laughed as he watched the two people's actions. He stood up and looked towards the endless sea.
"As I just said, this seaside is safe. Those sea beasts will only swim within a certain range and will never cross the border. That's why we Naga can rely on this sea to survive. Otherwise, look at the rugged rocks on this seaside.
How are we going to live?"
Fang Qiubai nodded. Although he didn't know why those sea beasts were as disciplined as the other party said, it didn't matter to a few people. After all, even if they wanted to collect corals, ordinary sea beasts should not join forces with Shana.
opponent.
"In short, if you just want to see the sea, or feel it, just go to the seaside and experience it for a while. Don't be greedy and want to find those treasures. Life is the most precious."
Seeing that the three of them didn't feel nervous at all, and that the little girl, Shana, even looked eager to try, Thomas reminded her cautiously.
"Well, we understand."
Seeing that Thomas was sincerely reminding her to cherish life, Illya nodded solemnly.
