Chapter 571 Leviathan Route

Whoa!
Raging waves kept crashing on the coast.

White waves splashed in all directions, and the roaring sound of the sea surrounded the entire island.

Several thin figures emerged from the bushes cautiously.

They stared nervously at the beach, staring at the crabs and seashells left on the beach after the tide slowly receded.

Suddenly, several lively little fish attracted their attention.

Without any hesitation, they ran out quickly, skillfully scooped up seashells along the way, and excitedly picked up jumping sea fish.

Li looked around warily, a little fear flashing in his pale golden eyes.

She had a vague feeling of danger, but she didn't know where the danger came from.

Looking at the sisters who were still picking up food, and thinking about how hungry she had been in the past few days, she resisted the urge to sound the alarm and just thought about it silently in her heart:

"Pick up two more fish and go back!"

But at this moment, several swift figures rushed from the bushes in the distance.

When they saw Li Jiren, their eyes showed a little bit of ecstasy and desire.

Being hunted, they had not indulged their desires for several days.

And as long as you catch these slaves, you will have an amulet during the subsequent hunt.

They had seen with their own eyes that the Gulf Territory soldiers were afraid of the hostages. These slaves were their only hope of survival.

Noticing their arrival, Li's face suddenly turned pale, and he screamed:
"Run!"

The girls on the beach were so frightened that they subconsciously ran back.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
More than 10 darts rushed over, knocking them down instantly.

The girls' sharp screams immediately made Li's heart clench.

The pale golden light in her eyes became more intense, and a turbulent stream of water flew towards the charging Japanese pirates.

Three or four Japanese pirates who were unable to dodge were instantly submerged, but they did not die, but were knocked down by the strong current.

The other Japanese pirates who saw this scene showed a little bit of horror and fear in their eyes.

"Witch!"

"Kill her!"

"quick!"

"Can't let her go!"

"We've been tainted by the curse!"

"She must be killed!"

"..."

Li didn't react at all to the Japanese pirates' reaction.

Her mind went blank, without any thought at all. She only knew how to desperately push the water elements around her towards the dozen Japanese pirates in front of her.

The impact of the water flow is so powerful that it repels the Japanese pirates who try to get closer.

The lethality of the water flow is not high, and it cannot cause fatal damage to these Japanese pirates.

They were keenly aware of this and surrounded them from all directions.

The surging water kept flowing around Li. He could launch a counterattack at first, but then it became slower and slower.

He noticed that Li's reaction was getting slower and slower, and the Japanese pirates' attacks were getting faster and faster.

Aware of the fatal danger, Li's original will began to revive, but his body began to become weaker and weaker, and his control over these currents gradually weakened.

puff!

The Japanese pirates noticed Li's weakening state, with a ferocious expression on their faces, and quickly approached Li.

They had been holding back for a long time, and powerful fighting spirit burst out from their bodies, and they hit the flying water without hesitation.

Bang!
The water flow was forced away, and the ferocious-looking Japanese pirate slashed Li mercilessly with his sword.

Li was exhausted, with a little despair in his eyes. His mother's withered face flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but open his mouth.

Dazzling lightning fell from the sky.

Cutting through the darkness spreading in Li's eyes.

She vaguely saw that the Japanese pirates who were surrounded from all sides were hit by thunder falling from the sky.

Boom!

The rolling thunder slowly came over.

Li's vision fell into darkness, and the last thought that came to his mind was:

“God answered my prayer.”

Matthew appeared, looking thoughtfully at the water flowing from the sea.

He waved his hand and threw down a bolt of thunder, shattering these strange water flows.

Staring at Li who fell into coma with burning eyes, he said with some disbelief:

"She's actually the Queen of Tides? What a guy!"

……

The rich aroma slowly penetrated Li's nostrils.

She opened her eyes suddenly, unaware that the golden light in her originally light golden eyes was becoming more intense.

Rang Li stared blankly at the smooth and white ceiling. Dao Zi, who was sitting in front of her bed, said to her excitedly:
"Are you awake? Huh... great, come and try this porridge, it has meat in it!"

Before she could react, Li had already opened her mouth, and the warm and sweet lean meat porridge entered her mouth, making her chew it twice.

The indescribable sweet taste is not like those bland fish meats, and new flavors are blended in while chewing silently.

Not noticing Li's confused expression, Daazi continued excitedly:
"You're finally awake. You've been in a coma for four days now, but you definitely don't know how well we've eaten in the past four days."

Li's rigid thinking gradually returned to normal, and Li stared at Dao Zi in neat clothes in shock.

The image of her being knocked down by a long-range weapon was recalled in her mind.

Feeling the wonderful taste of the food, Li couldn't help but ask:

"Where are we now? Are we all dead?"

After gently blowing on the hot porridge, Daozi showed an excited expression on his face. He put the spoon to Li's mouth and couldn't help but share with her what he had seen and heard in the past few days:
"Hehe, we are definitely not dead. I bet that even the paradise they say after death is not as good as the current fishing island."

"In addition to this lean meat porridge, we also had soft and fragrant white bread, meat sausage, bone soup, and braised pork."

"My favorite thing to eat is rice, mixed with a little bit of braised pig's feet soup. It's better than anything I've ever eaten..."

Seeing the sadness in Li's eyebrows, Daozi suddenly realized and continued:

"A few of us were only injured, but we all survived the day we were rescued, and our injuries were completely healed the next day."

"Now we are cleaning the streets and we can get 2 silver coins every day."

"Xiaoyu can write in Common Language. She helps at the registration office and earns 3 silver coins every day. She can almost earn one gold coin a month."

"Do you know? Since the arrival of Haiwan Ling, the entire fishing island has changed a lot. We no longer have to eat fish and shellfish, but we can eat fragrant rice..."

The warm rice porridge flowed into his stomach, and the unprecedented wonderful feeling made Li regain his strength.While listening to Daozi's account of what had happened in recent days, she recalled the shocking lightning.

Li soon learned that the arrival of the Gulf Territory changed everything on the fishing island.

Everyone who accepts registration will be assigned a job within their ability.

Not only do they get paid.

Most importantly, enjoy delicious food three times a day.

Food that tastes better than bran rice mixed with sand and sawdust can be called delicious.

Even the elderly and children who are unable to work are registered.

The former can get free food delivered to their doorstep and tell everyone about the various crimes committed by Japanese pirates.

The latter was not asked to go to the beach to collect food. Instead, he was arranged to join a temporary school and was studying and literacy.

If Li didn't know Dao Zi very well and knew all the changes in her expression when she lied, he would definitely think that she was bragging.

No kingdom or organization is willing to do these things to the slaves and civilians under the rule of Japanese pirates.

Because doing so will not bring any benefits and will only bring a huge burden to them.

However, the Gulf Territory did just that!
Li walked to the window and stared at the brand new street with some surprise.

The demolition of dilapidated wooden houses and the construction of brand new houses all illustrate the tremendous changes in the fishing island.

The people with heartfelt smiles on their faces and busy people made Li feel a little incredible.

You know, just a few weeks ago, other residents in this city were still eager for the Japanese pirates to snatch back a large amount of supplies and join in the carnival of robbery.

What now?
They are actually willing to work honestly, instead of treating others viciously, always ready to stab each other.

Such a huge contrasting change made Li feel like he was still in a dream.

Daizai, who had packed the food, looked expectantly at Li, who was wearing military uniform, and whispered in her ear:

"Hey, it's different for you. You were directly selected as a reserve soldier by Master Arcanist. You can receive a salary of at least one gold coin every month."

"Now the price of food on the fishing islands has dropped to a very low level."

"One gold coin can feed a family of five meat to every meal."

"However, I heard that the Gulf Territory is building a dock and preparing to establish a naval base."

"Did you know? Not only are they tall, they can also control very large engineering golems, and the construction speed is incredibly fast."

"..."

Listening to Daozi's ramblings, Li did not feel any impatience, nor was he dissatisfied because of his identity arrangement. He just asked without thinking:
"Who is Lord Arcanist? Where is he?"

Fishing Island, naval base.

Matthew stared at the dwarf artillery that was undergoing a new round of test firing.

After watching the cannonball fly 1200 meters away, accurately hitting a five-masted warship, and simply smashing a big hole, he nodded with great satisfaction.

Noticing his expression, Wildhammer, who designed the cannon himself, suddenly showed an expectant expression on his face. He rubbed his hands and said:

"How's it going? Are you satisfied with the effect of this artillery? Its cost is only 5000 gold coins, which is definitely a very cost-effective deal."

5000 gold coins, the price is similar to a medium to high quality enchanted armor.

However, the lethality caused by both sides and the impact on the entire battlefield cannot be compared.

Matthew, who had obtained all the data and information, did not choose to lower the price because of this. Instead, he said very simply:

"Just let the joint factory apply to the Navy Department. As long as it can pass the test, I won't have any objections."

The ecstatic Wildhammer nodded happily.

Even if a considerable part of the huge profits earned by the joint factory has to be invested in new research and production.

However, the portion of the profit that is divided can still reach more than 200 million gold coins every month.

The dwarf kingdom, which has been temporarily relieved of its worries about war, can train and integrate new recruits as quickly as possible with this steady stream of income.

In the harbor not far away, there are nearly 20 ships of various sizes, constantly transporting various goods.

A giant tower crane with a height of 30 meters is being operated by the staff to transport boxes of supplies to the ship.

Seeing this scene, Carlos showed unspeakable surprise and pride on his face. He sneaked up to Matthew and said in an unthinking tone and tone:

"Professional! Bay collar is really professional!"

"In less than half a month, the entire fishing island has been completely transformed."

"This is the first time I have seen such a large steel building."

"Are you sure you are ready to set off now? Do you need to stock up on more warships?"

Speaking of this, Carlos recalled the magical warships one after another in the bay, with a little bit of incredible expression in his eyes.

But Carlos resisted and did not continue to ask.

After all, in his opinion, the speed at which the Gulf Territory builds warships is really terrifying.

Such powerful technology is definitely an important secret of the Gulf Territory.

Unexpectedly, Matthew shook his head and continued in a calm and determined tone:

"We must open up a safe route as soon as possible!"

When Carlos heard this, his eyes showed a little surprise and excitement, and he gritted his teeth and said very simply:
"Understood, in a few days I will bring over the half-developed route map. With their help, I believe the Gulf Territory can reduce a lot of trouble!"

Matthew gently touched his chin at Carlos' blunt words.

He was not worried about any tricks played by the Yaoyue family, but he was very aware of the dangers and fatalities of opening new routes.

However, Matthew decided to open this passage to the New World.

Because Matthew clearly remembered that major changes were about to occur in the New World.

Even if the Gulf Territory only maintains this route, it can still make a lot of money.

But to open up this Leviathan route across the Caribbean Sea and the Sea of ​​Death, the price to pay is quite high.

The most threatening and fatal difficulty is how the fleet will cross the Sea of ​​Death safely and deal with the Leviathan tribe entrenched there?
Those terrifying monsters not only weigh tens or hundreds of tons, but also possess extraordinary flexibility and overlord-level combat effectiveness.

There are three legendary Leviathans alone.

Not to mention other extraordinary-level Leviathans that are huge, thick-skinned and can easily destroy five-masted warships.

As long as the Leviathan problem can be solved, the remaining problems can basically be solved.

However, Matthew is well aware of how powerful these Leviathans are.

From the beginning to the end, he had no intention of driving them away or attacking them with force.

That's asking those warships to die!

There is a saying among players:

"As long as you help Leviathan defeat the Japanese, you will get the ticket to cross the Leviathan group."

There is not much else in the Gulf Territory, but there are too many Japanese and pirates around!

　Caught a cold.

　　dizziness.

　　8000 will be restored tomorrow
