  Chapter 345 The Twilight and Future of Sequoia People (13)

  Now is the eating time of the Sequoia native Tenglan tribe.

  Nanling Sequoia Coast, the smoke rising from the kitchen, the elderly and women are processing the ingredients, deboning the fish, separating the internal organs, and preparing to mix it with the bean curd bone dregs on the side as feed to feed the hunting animals and sea animals.

  The fish and herbs are stewed together with some kind of beans in the soup pot. In order to drive away insects and detoxify, they stir vigorously with spoons, and this fish meat bean paste is the food of the hunters who will return soon.

   Those who do not participate in fighting and hunting are considered lucky if they can eat some leftover meat soup and bean paste.

  In any case, after surrendering to Harrison Port, this tribe can eat enough clean food and use better fishing tools, so that people will not starve to death.

   This is progress.

The people who got the food ate in silence, and didn’t mind the hot food just out of the pan—in the redwood forest, no living things would wait for you to cool the food, not mosquitoes, bacteria colonies, or miasma, no. Eating it while it's hot is tantamount to being irresponsible to your stomach.

  The return of the hunting team did not interrupt the eating of others. Only a good harvest can make the tribe celebrate.

  The coastal villages in the Tenglan Department are very simple, for the convenience of demolition and reconstruction. This is their years of experience in fighting against storms and big waves, but no matter how simple, the building layout is very orderly.

  The chief tent in the middle of the village is covered with mudfish skin, which is waterproof and warm, and can even be used as a sail in a critical moment.

  The chief of the Tenglan Department, a man with a strong figure but missing one ear, was concentrating on reading a crude picture book.

  "Common Poultry Breeding Manual"

Next to his tent, there is a simple chicken coop surrounded by wooden railings. Inside, there are more than a dozen chickens pecking at food crumbs and insects on the ground. These chickens have scales on their heads and sharp claws. It is not difficult to imagine In fact, they have considerable combat effectiveness, at least it is not a problem to blind a few children.

  Beside the chief, a very old indigenous shaman was tinkering with chicken feed.

   "When will you move to Port Harrison?"

When making chicken feed, the shaman suddenly said: "Be quicker, or you may be preempted by other tribes—the first tribe to move can get four pairs of beef cattle, ten pairs of forest sheep, and maybe even twelve heads Fat pig. I'm old, I don't want to lose face, I really want these things, I want to eat meat."

"tomorrow."

  The chief spoke with a low voice: "The spirit of Tenglan is dead, and the spirit of Gulang lost contact because of anger. We don't have much choice but to follow Harrison Port's instructions...and you are right."

   "I want to eat meat too."

  The strong man raised his head and looked at the chicken coop in front of him... Once upon a time, the Tenglan Department, which had so many catches that it could be stored in an underground ice cave, needed to raise livestock? The blue South China Sea is their largest ranch. At its peak, the Great Shaman Tenglan, who can summon many sea beasts, only needs to make a soft cry, and the tribe can harvest more food than they can eat in a year.

   But time will flow.

   “The time of the Sequoias is over.”

   He muttered to himself: "Perhaps it has already passed, but we still refuse to admit it...don't want to believe it."

"yes."

  The shaman said softly: "It's time for us to think about the future."

Speaking of this, the shaman's expression changed, and he seemed to perceive something: "Speaking of which, a powerful monster appeared on the Odell Reef recently, it should be an armored beast that is about to advance, or has even advanced to the second energy level. shark."

   "It has been active recently, do you need to tell Harrison Port about this?"

   "No need, say more and make more mistakes, say less and make fewer mistakes."

The chief raised his head and looked at the sea. He seemed to have heard something vaguely, but shook his head slightly: "Even if we want to pledge our allegiance, the object of allegiance is Port Harrison... Ironclad sharks or armored sharks are active, and it is only the empire that suffers." warship."

   "It's really a disadvantage, maybe our port chief will have to celebrate happily."

   The two stared at the sea.

   On the other side of the sea, a silver dorsal fin was cutting through the waves, drawing an arc of excitement, and galloping towards the shore.

   "Not bad, Shasha, you're recovering pretty well!"

   Taking advantage of the heavy rain, Ian came to the coast to meet Shark.

The fins of the huge metal shark, which were broken off by parasites and giant eels, and the damaged wounds on its body have all been regenerated, but the new tissue part is a bit too silvery, not like other parts of the body. Matte silver, looks slightly out of place.

  Maybe need to do old treatment once.

"Whoa whoa!"

   Seeing Ian's arrival, Shasha looked very energetic, and happily circled around the seaside several times—the environment of Crystal Lake seemed to be really suitable for the development of Warcraft. In just a few days, it seemed to have grown bigger again.

   But maybe the food is better? After all, Teng, the overlord of this sea area, has disappeared recently. The ether crystal dragon died, and the spirit of the drum wave should be lurking in the depths of Odell Reef to recuperate. As the first-level high-level ironclad shark, the shark shark is indeed at the top of the ecological niche. exists.

   Then you can really eat whatever you want!

   "Don't turn around, hurry up, this is not a place to show you gifts, let's go back to the base."

   Riding on the shark, Ian and the other party dived into the seabed and headed towards the South China Sea maze.

   The entrance of the maze is located in an underwater entrance and exit around Odell Reef. It was originally closed, but it can be opened with the authority of the master of the maze. After Ian gave Shasha permission with the highest administrator authority, Shasha can also open it alone.

   It’s no wonder that the crystal dragon can occasionally appear in the open sea. This is not because of the lack of relics, but because of its authority to leave the relics alone.

   Entering the Crystal Lake from this entrance is very fast. If I have to say it, it is probably similar to the 'fast track' that appears after a maze is opened in an RPG game. After a while, Ian arrived at the former lair of the Crystal Dragon.

   "Hey, where is the body of the ether crystal dragon?"

Immediately, Ian was a little surprised to notice that the body of the crystal dragon that was originally located on the island in the center of the crystal lake was gone, but soon, he suddenly realized: "Oh, it turned out to be integrated with the crystal island... I understand , this somewhat abrupt crystalline island pillar is the condensed body of crystalline dragons from past dynasties!"

  He saw that the crystalline island that constantly released spiritual energy halos was obviously higher by one level, and it was larger by a circle, and a hovering crystalline dragon image could be faintly seen on the top.

   And in the center of this crystalline island, a dragon egg emitting white shimmering light and shadow of the source material structure circulates on the surface, obviously very healthy.

  From this point of view, this place really belongs to a certain sense of the "dragon made" spiritual energy field.
