When Xiao and Han arrived here, they found that all the wood in the open space was gone, and so were all the other people.
"Are those people ready to go into the water?"
The two of them hurried towards the boat building by the lake.
Sure enough, at the shipbuilding area, a large group of people were taking action, constantly pushing the boats on the shore into the water.
"thump!"
After a while a boat was launched.
Xiao Han took a quick look and saw that there were probably hundreds of small boats on the shore, all of which had only hulls and no cabins.
But these boats are not small even if they are small. The chassis is very high, a full seven or eight meters. They also have a pointed shape.
When they were on the shore, these boats were all lying down, but after being pushed into the water, they all stood upright for some unknown reason.
"The roly-poly principle?"
Xiao Han shook his head, whatever his reasoning was, it had nothing to do with him.
Hundreds of these small boats have already been launched into the water, and hundreds more are on the shore. At this time, a large number of people are pushing them.
In addition, there are five large ships with a height of 100 meters on the shore, which have also been completed at this time.
In addition to these people pushing the boat, there were also a large number of warriors, more than a thousand in number, who were all watching.
Xiao and Han walked over to each other. These people were all people who used to cut trees to make extra money.
At this time, there is no cutting, and I am not in a hurry to go hunting. I am just here to watch the fun.
"These people really dare to go there! Not to mention what's going on on the island, if they just fall into the water, they'll be doomed!"
"So he is a genius. At least he is more courageous than us!"
"Oh, I would rather fight the eight-eyed spider on land than go into the water!"
"Me too, on land, I still have some leverage. I can't run away if I can't fight.
No matter how fast you swim in the water, can you still swim faster than others?
Isn’t that giving people food rations?”
Those guys are really getting going!
Suddenly, Xiao Han saw an acquaintance in the crowd, it was Shang Xueyi, the one he had cut trees with before!
Xiao Han smiled and said: "Let's go over and have a chat."
With that said, he walked over first.
When he encountered trouble before, Shang Xueyi just avoided it, and it wasn't considered a betrayal. They met by chance and were not relatives, so there was no need to stand up for Xiao Han and the others!
Xiao Han didn't care. Anyway, he just wanted to find someone to understand the situation, and he didn't intend to have a deep friendship.
After walking over, Shang Xueyi was gathering with four or five people, while Hu Kanhai was chatting.
After walking in, Xiao Han smiled and said: "Shang Xueyi! What a coincidence, you are here too!
Are you gathering with your team?"
The people who were chatting suddenly stopped and looked at Xiao Han and Xiao Han curiously.
Shang Xueyi looked back and saw that it was Xiao Han and the others.
Although he was surprised in his heart, he said with a smile on his face: "So it's you! It's really a coincidence! You are also here to watch the fun!"
He was very conscious and forgot about the previous unpleasantness.
He likes gossip, but he doesn't like getting into trouble. He doesn't want to get involved in the conflicts between Xiao Han and the nobles.
This is what most people think too!
Xiao Han smiled and said: "That's right! We just came here, what's the situation over there now?"
Shang Xueyi also had no intention of introducing Xiao Han to their team.
He said casually: "The ship is almost built! It is being launched now, and those noble sons are finally setting off!"
The people in Shang Xueyi's team had no idea of knowing Xiao Han and others. They didn't ask their names or introduce themselves.
He just picked up the topic and chatted casually: "These guys are really brave! There are obviously magic dragons on Laishan Island, so we still want to go!"
"That's right, not only that, they also spend money!"
"Isn't that right? I estimate that they spent at least 100,000 magic crystals on building this ship!"
Shang Xueyi smiled and said: "They're just flowers in a greenhouse. I don't know how scary the devil world is. Let alone going to Laishan Island, even if I take a boat into the water, I won't go! Even if you give me money, I won't go!"
His teammates laughed and scolded: "That's nonsense. You are a man obsessed with money. Why don't you go if I give you money?"
Shang Xueyi said disdainfully: "I'm not a fool, can money buy life?
No matter how much money you give me, I won’t go! If I go, I’ll be really stupid!”
"You don't want to spend even 100 magic crystals?"
"I won't even give you 1,000 magic crystals!"
Xiao Han smiled and said: "Compared with money, life is more important.
By the way, Lao Shang, do you know why they build so many ships?
How many people are they?
I see that hundreds of ships have been built, including five that are 100 meters high.
What do they mean, one person, one boat?"
Shang Xue's righteous deeds got a grip and asked: "What do you think, why do we warriors dare not go into the water? What are we most worried about?"
Xiao Han had already thought about this problem.
Without hesitation, he said directly: "The problem of combat power is that we humans are not good at underwater combat. If we encounter a difficult monster, we may lose our lives!"
Shang Xueyi nodded and said with a smile: "Yes! However, because we were underwater and had no focus, our combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
Otherwise, the monsters underwater are nothing, they can kill two of them with one knife when they get ashore!"
Shang Xueyi blew it first, and then continued: "I heard that a guy named Zhuge Mingyuan thought of a way to connect these ships with ropes so that they can move back and forth.
If any special situation occurs, you can step on the rope to borrow strength. Even if the ship sinks, you can quickly change ships...
Don’t you know, in addition to us who cut down trees before, they also hired people to collect rope grass and weave it into ropes just for use now!”
Xiao Han frowned and said, "Is it useful? Will the ship not sink?"
Can hundreds of ships really reach Laishan Island smoothly?
Gu Changqing interjected: "It's no use, that kid is probably stupid because of imitation, so what can he do with the rope?
What can I do if I borrow my strength? The ship will sink by then, so what the hell do I borrow!"
"I guess they might be halfway there..."
Not only Xiao Han and the others think so, but the surrounding warriors are not optimistic about it!
Can we cross the river by braiding a rope and building a wooden boat?
Do you really think that the underwater monsters are just for food?
Maybe I can swallow your boat in one bite!
Of course, these warriors are very smart. They only think about these words in their hearts and do not dare to say them out!
Although they know that even if they say it, nothing will happen.
It's impossible that someone just happens to complain, and it's impossible that a noble kid just happens to be looking for trouble.
However, it is better to be cautious when going out to hang out.
At this moment, in the distance, some of the nobles who were helping to push the boat separated and came over.
These were all dressed in luxurious clothes, and there seemed to be about thirty or forty people.
The leader was the guy named Tang Feiyang whom Shang Xueyi pointed out to Xiao Han before.
This guy lives up to his name, with flying eyebrows! He walks like a breeze! The robe and cape he is wearing almost stand up on the ground!
These guys don’t know what they’re doing here!
The crowd, who were chatting and watching the excitement, gradually became quiet.
