More than half an hour later,
All the food released by Qiao Shan was consumed.
Popeye is very strong and can eat a lot.
They are all big eaters.
After Popeye finished eating, he quickly boarded the ship under the arrangement of Joe Dali.
With a "splash", their huge bodies jumped into the water.
He swam towards the boat.
There is no need for a small boat, just go to the small dock at the entrance of the barracks to pick it up.
"good!"
Popeye was a big man, and he was very fast in the water. After getting on the boat, he was able to operate it with ease in a few moves, and Qiao Shan nodded in praise.
The boat was too small, and it was more than enough for Popeye to operate it alone.
soon,
On each of the first 131 boats, there stood a Popeye.
"Dolphins and squids, move forward and explore anything within a fifteen-mile range this time!"
Popeye was driving a small boat to build a defense tower, and it was ready. Qiao Shan gave orders to the underwater animal troops.
After eating, it’s time to work.
The width of the Nia River at the birthplace of Qiaoshan is about fifty miles.
The middle ten miles of the river are considered deep water areas.
Qiao Shan ordered the war dolphins and squids to explore the edge of the deep water area this time.
previously,
He drove the huge ship into the river and only almost reached that place.
Squeak!
Following the command, the war dolphin jumped up and set off.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
Big squids also swam forward quickly.
The giant squid that can change color and shape has poor combat power, but is much better than the war porpoise in terms of stealth.
They have the ability to change color.
At this moment, Qiao Shan is the main force of underwater reconnaissance.
"Qiao Dali, wait a moment, don't get on yet. But you can sail out and move around within a five-mile radius to get familiar with the river's flow rate, temperature, and other conditions."
Seeing Popeye’s team, I also felt eager to give it a try.
Qiao Shan stopped their actions.
No rush!
Hold it for a while.
Wait until all of Zhao Xiaoxiao's boats are built, and then gather them together.
One after another.
It is obvious that their combined strength is not as high.
now,
There are enough war porpoises and squids.
"Ahri, follow them and have them report to you at any time!"
Seeing the war pigs rushing out, Qiao Shan spoke directly to Ahri.
War porpoises and squids are all good.
The only bad thing is that I can’t communicate with Qiao Shan.
The information they see can only be obtained through Ahri's soul perception.
"good!"
Ahri nodded and rushed out.
"be safe!"
After shouting to Ahri, Qiao Shan turned his gaze towards the water ahead.
Ripples began to appear on the water surface.
The wind is blowing...
.
"Um?"
Ten minutes later, Qiao Shan, who was standing on the shore, frowned.
Through the troop strength display on his personal panel, he discovered the number of his war pigs and squids.
It is actually decreasing rapidly.
In a short while, dozens of war dolphins and squids died.
"It's safe within five miles, but it's dangerous within the range of five to fifteen miles!"
Based on the activity range of the war dolphins and squids, Qiao Shan was guessing the cause of the casualties.
Don't do too much analysis.
Obviously, these casualties are related to the depth of the water.
Crash~
The casualty figures continue to come in.
at the same time,
Standing on the shore, Qiao Shan could also hear the "splashing" sound of water being stirred.
Although I can't see the specific situation ahead.
But he could see that Ahri had just flown close to the river surface in the shallow water area.
But wait until Ahri is about to enter the middle area, or even the deep water area.
He found that Ahri had grown taller.
And it obviously increased the flight speed...
After a while,
Qiao Shan discovered that the loss rate of war dolphins and squids had slowed down again.
He speculated on the shore that this might be related to the war dolphins and squids becoming familiar with the underwater environment.
Qiao Shan continued to stand by the river, observing the situation in the distance.
The closest to him was the boat driven by Popeye, which was testing the sea in shallow water.
Further underwater is the central area where the war dolphins and squids are exploring.
In the area between the deep water area and the middle water area, Ahri was flying quickly in the sky.
.
“Whoosh!”
Half an hour later, Qiao Shan turned his head and looked at Ahri who flew back to him in an instant.
"What do you mean?"
Patting the panting Ali on the back, Qiao Shan asked Ali about the information she had obtained.
Compared to land, the disadvantage of water is the visibility.
Spying on the elf, you can’t go into the water yet.
Qiao Shan wanted to get information about the underwater situation.
Can only rely on war pigs and squids.
However, due to their intelligence problems, these two units can only understand some simple instructions.
There was no way to tell Qiao Shan the detailed espionage intelligence.
To know the details of the War Pig and Squid's spying.
It must be relayed to Qiao Shan by Ahri through the soul link.
Qiao Shan can swim himself.
But he certainly wouldn't jump into the water rashly.
"As soon as they entered the central area, they were attacked and many died!"
Ahri calmed down a little and answered quickly.
"Someone is blocking me?"
After hearing what Ali said, Qiao Shan's expression paused.
Being actively attacked.
This is not good news.
"No, after they found the trick, the casualties became much smaller."
Ali denied Qiao Shan's guess.
"What do you mean?"
"There are many big fish in the central area. Although not as big as the one over 100 meters in the deep water area, they are not small either. The reason for the loss is that the war dolphins and squids invaded the territory of these aquatic creatures in the central area, so they were attacked as soon as they entered the central area..."
"Then what?"
Through his personal panel, Qiao Shan discovered that the casualty rate of the war dolphins and squids had been greatly reduced after being in the water for a period of time.
"Then, the squid changed color and slowly lurked over. The war porpoise accelerated and rushed through the territories of those aquatic creatures. After discovering that the war porpoise was not coming to seize territory, the aquatic creatures in the middle area stopped attacking."
“So simple?”
"Yes, and the rapid swimming of the war dolphin attracted the attention of the creatures in the water, making it easier for the squid to change color and invade from the bottom of the water~"
Ahri continued to report.
"Okay, now where are they?"
"We should have almost finished the central area. After all, there are quite a lot of them, and they are only exploring this section of the riverbed."
"Okay, keep paying attention and don't go into the deep water yet!"
After hearing what Ali said, Qiao Shan made quick arrangements.
He had no intention of rushing into .
The previous ambush by the big fish monster made him pay more attention to deep water areas.
Water monsters are obviously different from land monsters.
Although he has a ship defense tower.
However, the line of sight, attack power, underwater details, etc. are still very different from those on land.
The waters need to be more stable.
"Yeah!" Ali nodded obediently, "I also discovered a secret !"
After talking about the war pig and the squid, Ahri praised herself.
"oh?"
"I just used my soul power to chew up the head of a ten-meter-long fish!"
Ahri waved her little fist.
"Then what?"
"Then I found that my experience increased by 10 points!"
"Um?"
Hearing what Ali said, Qiao Shan turned his head suddenly.
"Yes, water monsters can give experience!"
Seeing Qiao Shan's surprised expression, Ahri also smiled happily:
"Just now, I discovered a secret after carefully sensing it."
"besides?"
Qiao Shan was delighted again when he heard that Ali had more details to report.
"Yes~, I felt the breath of the Soul Gem at the edge of the deep water!"
Ahri raised her head high, with an expression that looked like she was seeking praise.
"Yes, well done!"
After understanding what Ali meant, Qiao Shan happily praised Ali.
This is very good news indeed.
Not only the aquatic creatures in the river have experience.
What’s more, there seem to be other wild treasures in the river.
The original purpose of attacking the Nia River was to clear the source of danger, occupy territory, and expand the scope of absorbing elemental power.
At this moment, there are two unexpected gains: experience and wild treasures.
That's very exciting.
"Water creatures give experience. They should be water monsters, which are considered a type of wild monster!"
After praising Ali, Qiao Shan thought quickly in his heart.
Ahri killed the fish monster and gave experience. Qiao Shan only thought of one possibility.
That is, these fish monsters are considered a kind of wild monsters.
In the dark world of reality.
According to the information Qiao Shan currently has, apart from void wormholes and special experience secret realms, the only things that can give experience are wild monsters.
Places like Dark Lair don't give any experience at all.
It's not really a wild monster at all.
It seems that only those who were truly born in the dark world count as wild monsters.
And they must be born a little later.
Ordinary, newly born, and overly weak creatures are not considered wild monsters.
.
Qiao Shan was very happy that the aquatic creatures in the Nia River next to him could be certified as wild monsters.
This undoubtedly gave him another pool of experience.
Of course, the premise is.
He has to deal with the monsters in the deep water.
Don't just grind for experience, grind for fun.
As a result, they were ambushed by suspected intelligent creatures in the deep water.
That would be terrible!
The Niah River is very wide, and the deep water area is at least five or six kilometers wide.
The depth is unfathomable.
Qiao Shan knew that he still had a lot of work to do to obtain this "treasure land" of water.
“Yes, very good!”
However, although there is a lot of work to be done, the news about Ahri is still exciting.
Even without experience and wild gems, Qiao Shan was determined to conquer the Nia River.
At this moment, I have these two things.
His enthusiasm for the attack suddenly increased again.
"By the way, what happened to the body of the ten-meter-long fish you killed? Did it not spawn?"
Just as he was about to order Ahri to explore again, Qiao Shan thought of something else.
"What?"
Ali didn't understand what Qiao Shan wanted to ask.
"The body of the fish monster you killed still exists, right?"
If it is really a wild monster, the corpse will not refresh automatically.
When wild monsters are killed, their bodies need additional processing.
The huge Nia River is home to giant fish that are more than ten meters long.
If it was really a wild monster, Qiao Shan felt that he had no other options but to grow food.
It seems that there will be another source of aquatic food.
"Uh..., I didn't notice!!"
Unfortunately, Ahri didn't remember.
"Okay, it's okay, then try again later."
Qiao Shan didn't take it seriously when he didn't hear the result he wanted, and just tried it again.
"Um!"
Nodding, Ahri flew out again.
Ahri flew away,
Qiao Shan paced along the riverside a little excitedly.
The news that Ahri just gave was so good.
There were only two original purposes for attacking the Nia River.
One is to expand the territory and have more land to absorb the power of elements.
Another thing is that the Niah River is indeed a bit close to the birth point.
I didn’t have the ability to deal with things in the river before, but after reaching level 5, I can deal with them at the same time, making the birth point a little safer.
He never thought that the Nia River was a treasure land.
Not only will you gain experience and treasures, you may even gain a source of meat.
Especially the latter.
It turns out that food is extremely precious in the 1008th class.
The food they get is still meat.
That would be even more welcome.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Ahri's information report made Qiao Shan pay too much attention to the strategy of conquering the Nia River.
.
"Avatar puppet!"
After walking along the river bank for a while and thinking, and resisting the urge to let Popeye charge forward, the somewhat anxious Qiao Shan finally thought of a way to gain vision himself.
Clone Puppet, this item uses intermediate gems to provide energy and can share vision.
It was taken out again by Qiao Shan.
As soon as the air shield was opened, the clone puppet provided him with a lot of conveniences.
But after the upgrade of the Spy Pokémon was completed, he put this item away.
At this moment, encountering the water, Qiao Shan, who was a little anxious, took out the prop again.
Wow~
After loading the intermediate gems that provide energy, Qiao Shan instructed a Popeye to pick up the clone puppet and slowly sink it to the bottom of the water.
The clone puppet, powered by gem energy , can still move in water.
Although it cannot be put into the water too deep, otherwise the underwater pressure will crush it.
But in shallow waters, they can still move freely.
"Shared vision!"
Without hesitation, after the clone puppet was in place, Qiao Shan directly switched his vision to the clone puppet.
And his real body stood by the river.
The shared vision transmission distance of the clone puppet is still very long, although there is a certain attenuation in water.
But it was enough for Qiao Shan to stroll in the shallow water.
Crash~
As soon as his vision switched to the shallow water area, Qiao Shan saw a big crab paddling quickly and rushing towards the clone puppet.
Snap!
Snap!
The crab, which was more than 30 centimeters in size, used its big claws to attack the clone puppet.
It didn't care that the clone puppet was many times larger than its own body.
"Let's go~"
Controlling the clone puppet, Qiao Shan kicked the crab with its big claws erected away.
Although the clone puppet is not good at fighting.
But it is more than enough to deal with ordinary crabs that are only 30 centimeters long.
"Oh my god, so reckless?"
After taking a look at the riverbed which was illuminated by the underwater luminous plants and had a good visibility, Qiao Shan suddenly saw that the big crab he had kicked away rushed up again.
"Then don't blame me. I haven't eaten crabs for a long time!"
Looking at the crab rushing towards him mindlessly, Qiao Shan was speechless. He controlled the clone puppet and jumped directly onto the back of the crab.
