Chapter 378: Shan Hai 2, the most unexpected surprise
Tang Shidao was about to ask again when suddenly a messenger ran over. This was a very familiar figure.
"Captain Dali, Haichao City has just issued the latest warning, saying that there may be a large number of sea beasts invading the offshore area within eight days. Haichao City requires all nearby hunting groups to return to the city and provide paid support to protect the city. In addition, Haichao City will release a warning in five days at the latest.
The city gate will be closed during the day, and those who return late will not be received. They need to find a safe place by themselves." The messenger said while glancing at the two shadows next to Tang Shidao.
Because...it is a ghost.
on the surface.
This messenger is no different from the shadow of the previous life and the shadow of the next life. All three are black, translucent, and human-shaped.
"Thank you. Courier, did the alarm say how big it was?" Dali took out a bronze coin, handed it to the courier, and asked one more question.
"It's not stated on the alarm, but I have some information."
Dali handed over another ancient copper coin.
The messenger took over: "The scale this time is estimated to be very large. Tide City has even moved out its inventory of weapons. I heard from the scouts that the large and small fish schools in the distant sea are 'giving way' to stay away. Therefore, there are probably big things under the sea."
Came here. Now the sentry posts outside the city are being evacuated, and all the ones that can be demolished have been demolished."
He nodded vigorously, indicating that this copper coin was well spent.
Before leaving.
The messenger also pointed to the shadows beside Tang Shidao, indicating whether these were my kind?
Dali shook his head and said don't ask any more questions.
After the messenger left, Dali smiled and said: "Tang, I'm sorry, there seems to be some trouble now. The invasion of sea beasts is not a small matter, you may need to do a little cover up. Otherwise, annoying things will happen when you enter the city. For example,
There are spies who will be following you in case you do something bad."
Tang Shidao signaled: "Captain Dali, please give me some advice."
Dali smiled and said: "It's not like giving advice. You saved my companions, and we must repay your favor. Now I have a suggestion, can you hide it, um, let's not mention your outsider status? I mean, you
Pretend that you are a local first. That way the spies won't pay too much attention to you. If you are not an outsider, the spies will generally ignore you."
Tang Shidao nodded: "Okay, thank you."
He shook his head vigorously: "No thanks, you helped us, that's what we should do. So... well, let's call you 'Datang', just say you are a Wu tribe member from afar. Anyway, this status is casual, as long as you pay
If you can afford money, nothing will be done to you. If you don’t have the reputation of being an outsider, no one will care where you come from.”
Tang Shidao nodded in thanks.
Introduce your partner vigorously and with a smile.
These people are called Big Sword, Big Eye, Big Hammer, Big Bow, and Big Spear. Almost every name is a specialty. Of course, a few people are also named after their surnames, such as Dalin, Dazhao, and Dagao. Listen to Dali
Meaning, taking a surname as a name is a means of self-motivation. Being famous in the mountains and seas is of little significance. Only by spreading your surname far and wide will you win the respect of all tribesmen.
certainly.
If you discredit this surname, you will be despised by all your clan members. Therefore, most people do not dare to use the surname. Only those with confidence and courage dare to do so.
If word like "Zhao has defected" is spread, all the people with the same surname who hear it will despise you and even kill you.
If you are not a true hero, you would not dare to use your surname as your name.
Speaking of which, what if there are two people in the team who are good at machetes?
It's called Er Da Dao.
It's called the Three Great Swords.
Even a mere name can scare me. I am illiterate, so who am I to be afraid of?
Tang Shidao greeted them one by one, and only glanced a few more times at the fastest warrior, his name was: Thigh!
"While there is still time, let's hunt some ghost crabs. They have hard shells during the day and are generally difficult to kill. The shells will become softer at night, but their movement speed will become faster, so it is best to start in the evening.
The meat of ghost crabs is very delicious and the price is good, and the crab shells can also be sold for some money." Dali saw the sun tilting and greeted him again, while also imparting his experience.
"Okay, was that ghost just now?" Tang Shidao naturally didn't mind.
"Yes." Dali glanced at the shadows of the previous world and the shadow of the next world, and thought in his heart that they were ghosts, um, ghosts with special characteristics, and said: "The fighting power of ghosts is not good, but their speed is very fast.
They are not seriously injured by attacks. They are most suitable for running around as believers. The fastest communication method is the intelligence machine, followed by the faith eagle, but those are too expensive and easy to be damaged or preyed on. Therefore, it is most cost-effective to let the ghost people run errands.
.”
Talking room.
The powerful hunting group has begun to prepare. Knives, swords, long bows, and fire guns, these combinations really have an indescribable weird feeling.
"We are at the level of the Ten Hunting Group."
Affected by the light, the ghost crab's shell slowly softened, and it was not suitable for handling for a while. At this time, Dali was still explaining that he was not wary of Tang Shidao, an 'outsider', as if he had been used to it for a long time. It might have been Tang Shidao who treated him.
His partner, he said a few more words out of gratitude: "A hunting group with less than a dozen people is not considered a hunting group, a hunting group with more than ten and less than a hundred people is called a hunting group of ten, a hunting group with a hundred people is called a hunting group with a thousand people, and a hunting group with a thousand people is called a hunting group."
, ten thousand people are called the Ten Thousand Hunting Group.”
"Well, the more people, the better?" Tang Shidao was very grateful for the information.
"Not necessarily. As far as I know, sixteen thousand hunting groups in Haichao City have been disbanded because they couldn't support the money. The hunting groups are too big and they spend a lot of money on food and drink. Equipment is the key. Without equipment, no one will follow.
You. If a member dies, the responsible core group of the hunting group will also have to compensate. Without the ability, forming a hunting group that is too big will be a burden." Dali explained.
"Oh, doesn't the city manage hunting groups?" Tang Shidao was not worried about money issues.
"The city has a legion. If you are strong enough, you can also obtain legion qualifications in the city and demarcate an area. The city does not stipulate who belongs to it. The strongest team is the team that can best protect the city. Whoever has the ability can do it.
Talk. If the leader of the army does something that harms everyone, everyone will join forces to destroy it. No one here will tell you about your bloodline. Whoever is good will be promoted, and whoever is not good will be demoted." Dali looked matter-of-fact.
"Don't you manage Dongguo as well?" Tang Shidao asked again.
"Brothers of the Tang Dynasty, Dongguo is just the name of our region, not a country. It is based on a city, and important matters are discussed jointly. Don't get me wrong, there are few wars between us, unless
A certain death-hunting group has done something bad. Our enemies come from the ocean and come often, so it's too late for everyone to cooperate." Dali saw that the time was almost up and motioned for his friends to start.
Tang Shidao just watched quietly.
Unexpectedly, I found that these people are extremely cooperative: disturbing, attracting, inducing separation, locking on single targets, long-range main attack, melee defense, and retreating immediately if not killed in one round, so as not to put themselves and their companions in danger. Whenever a kill is
If they are scattered, induce the team members to divide them into groups again to disperse the ghost crabs, and then the others will focus on the weakest group.
Some sentries guard the surroundings to prevent lurking cubs in the distance from snatching prey.
This kind of battle.
The most expensive items are arrows and bullets. Few people use swords to attack, because no one fights with ghost crabs. It can be seen that in addition to considering safety, bow and crossbow attacks also save physical strength. Those who use shields have to change every moment.
Rest. In addition, fire bottles, acid water, small flash bombs, etc. are all commonly used. It really feels like killing zombies in the apocalypse.
"There is a giant ghost crab, leader, do you want to do it?"
"Do it." Captain Dali found something better and joined the battle.
It’s not that easy to deal with the giant ghost crab. This guy is much stronger in terms of defense and speed. After a while, several people in the team were injured. For some reason, the giant ghost crab who was hurt suddenly screamed, and the others were injured.
The induced little ghost crabs ran over one after another and joined the battle formation.
"Oops, this guy is King Crab."
"Do you want to withdraw?"
"It's a pity that one of its eyes has been knocked out. How about you stop insisting?"
"Captain Dali, please speak."
Everyone had different opinions, so the leader's decision was naturally needed. Dali thought quickly and turned to Tang Shidao: "Brother Tang, can you do me a favor and treat my friends?"
Tang Shidao signaled, and the injured people responded instantly.
Immediately afterwards.
Another cloud of smoke exploded next to the giant ghost crab, just blocking its view.
After reaching this point, Tang Shidao did not continue.
I don’t want to compete with the powerful hunting group for credit.
Ten minutes later, the ghost crab king, who had both eyes knocked out, fell down, and the other ghost crabs scattered and fled into the ocean desperately. Naturally, the powerful hunting group did not dare to pursue them. The ocean is a hundred times more dangerous than land. Ghost crabs
If they escape into the ocean, some of them will be killed and eaten by the giant fish and sea beasts that rush out. If they are chased, they may all die.
"The sun has gone down, let's go to the outpost on the rock." Dali said that the ground was not safe at night, and he had to at least go to a high rock.
Tang Shidao naturally had no objection.
The group of people carried the prey to the high fort, sent people to patrol the surroundings, and Dali began to divide the loot. His team did not need to divide, but Tang Shidao helped.
"I don't want it, just tell me more information about this place." Tang Shidao refused.
"Okay." Dali didn't hesitate.
Everyone sat down, put out the cooking utensils, and immediately started the post-victory dinner.
Because everyone is too careful with water, it feels like this scene is really like a cooking camp for survival at the end of the world. Dali began to explain, saying that there is no shortage of food outside the city, but there is a great lack of clean water. Some plants are rich in water, but they can only
To quench personal thirst, it is difficult to squeeze out and use it as water.
"Here, water is the medicine that replenishes physical strength." Dali handed over the fish soup with his own hands.
Tang Shidao drank a little.
Something strange was discovered instantly.
The perfect physical constitution does not have much influence here. Through the perfect sense of taste and smell, Tang Shidao instantly perceived the role of food, even its prototype, its origin, and its living environment. After only a small sip, the whole
Everyone became energetic.
"Captain Dali, can these foods strengthen individuals?"
"Well, you can actually discover it? You just took a small sip." Dali began to explain, saying that the water and soil here have this miraculous effect. Plants, animals, water, everything that can be digested has energy. The more you eat, the more energy you will get.
It can be gradually strengthened.
Of course, it's just a very small increase.
Tang Shidao drank a few sips, then took the ghost crab meat and started eating it. At this time, he couldn't help but feel strange in his heart.
Different from everyone else.
As a mage, Tang Shidao discovered that this kind of growth is not as simple as it seems. It feels like these foods are a super concentrated essence. For example, he can only exert 1 point of power here, but in fact he has 5 billion mana. The ghost crab's
On the surface, the meat was only slightly enhanced, but in fact, Tang Shidao discovered that it concealed huge benefits.
It's like something worth 500 points but only gives you 1 flavor point and the other part is not present.
When food enters your mouth.
Tang Shidao used his sense of human taste to obtain a large amount of biological information, and then synchronized it with the 'Wisdom Tree' of the Omniscient Eye to mold new knowledge. After absorbing, analyzing, organizing, and giving a signal, a ball of water immediately appeared in the hands of the shadow of the next life.
...This is a 1-point water creation spell.
Signal again.
Slowly, a tiny ghost crab was 'created'.
this moment.
A flash of light flashed in Tang Shidao's mind: the 'wisdom revelation' woven by life was having a special effect on him.
