Chapter 1077: Born Too Late

When evening arrived and a suitable place was found, the Large Ship immediately dropped its anchor, and then, using a small boat, they ferried the few of them to the shore, where they set up tents in a suitable spot and lit a campfire; only then was the task considered finished.

After sitting on the solid ground for a long time, the few of them gradually regained a bit of their senses; by this time, the porridge had already been cooked, but they were so dizzy that they didn't really want to eat, so they could only drink some porridge to maintain their strength.

Changle cheered them on: "Keep holding on, just one more day tomorrow, and the day after we will be able to reach Huaxia; the day after tomorrow, you will be able to have a good sleep in a house in Huaxia."

However, except for Ayuduo, the others didn't have a shred of joy, and Qianxi even stated directly: "Changle, tell us, if we rely on walking, on foot, can we return to the Xuanyuan Tribe? We really don't want to sit on this boat anymore; it looks incredibly impressive, so why is it that once you get on it, you feel dizzy enough to die?"

Changle also sighed and said: "This Large Ship, it is true, everyone gets dizzy when they first sit on it; I was dizzy too, but I had no choice, didn't I? After sitting on it many times, back and forth, it stopped being so uncomfortable. You are just starting out; it will be fine once you sit on it more in the future."

Qianxi covered his mouth in a retching gesture: "Impossible, impossible, I will never sit on this boat again. Just tell me if we can walk to Huaxia; if we can get there from the Xuanyuan Tribe by walking, that would be fine, but if we can't walk to Huaxia, I will never come to this Huaxia again. This time, it would have been better to just throw me into the water and drown me; it was so uncomfortable, I still feel like I'm floating in the water right now."

"Walking is possible; as long as you follow this Dahe, you definitely won't go the wrong way. It seems there are other, shorter paths, but compared to the water route, they are further, and it is tiring and dangerous. This water route, aside from the rocking making you a bit dizzy, is good in every way; just sit a few more times and you will get used to it."

Qianxi waved his hands repeatedly: "Ha, impossible, impossible, I never want to sit on a boat again. You can do whatever you want to me, but I just cannot sit on it. Get used to it? I can never get used to it. Bingzhu, what do you say? Say something!"

Bingzhu was a bit annoyed: "We'll talk about it when the time comes; let's take a look around Huaxia first."

Then he looked at Changle: "Didn't you want to talk about something regarding the sea? Ask now; if I remember anything, I will tell you. You also said it is very important to our Jiuli, because there are many fish in it, is that right?"

"Yes, the sea is a kind of large, boundless lake, only the water is especially deep, and it is salty and bitter; it cannot be drunk, but there are especially many fish in it, both numerous and large. My father also said there are some very large crabs, shrimp, and the like, which are all especially delicious. There are also various kinds of sea vegetables that are all very good; once dried, they can be preserved for a very, very long time. They are delicious and good for people."

"Of course, I haven't seen it myself, I only heard it from my father. He said it is in the far east, so it should be in the lands of your Jiuli, right? I don't know if you have seen it or not. I really want to go see the sea; I really, truly want to see how beautiful the sea is."

Qianxi and Yangasha looked blank: "What are you talking about? Why don't I understand? What sea?"

Bingzhu said to the two of them: "Try to remember, was there a year, a long, long time ago, when we went to a very distant place and discovered a very, very large lake?"

"The water couldn't be drunk, just like Changle said, it was bitter, and the sound was especially loud, and as long as a person stared at it, they would fall over and get dizzy, and there were very, very large insects, which were extremely terrifying."

"In the end, they said it was a cursed place or something, and there were powerful Great Shamans there, so we never went back."

Reminded by Bingzhu, the two of them immediately remembered: "Ah! I remember, I remember, there was such a thing, there is such a place. Why, could that be what is called the sea?"

Ayuduo asked confusedly: "What is it? Why don't I know about this? How do you all know?"

Qianxi explained: "You were very small at that time; how could we have told you about such things? Isn't it normal that you don't know?"

Ayuduo gave a slightly disappointed 'oh', resigning herself to her fate; she was born later than them, so there was nothing she could do.

Hearing what they said and combining it with what his father had told him, Changle felt that this must be the sea, so he said to the group: "I am very certain that what you are talking about is the sea. However, for the specifics, you still have to go ask my father. Also, what those insects are and what those sounds are, you will definitely be able to get answers from my father."

"If it really is the sea, it would truly be a great thing for your Jiuli."

Bingzhu asked in a skeptical tone: "For sure?"

"Yes, for sure. It seems there is nothing in the world that my father doesn't know. He seems to have been everywhere and knows everything. Just like this Large Ship, and these tents, Iron Pots, and Weapons, the first of each was crafted by my father, and then he taught others how to make them, teaching enough talented people for Huaxia."

"No matter what questions you have, you can ask my father. As long as it is something my father thinks can be said, he will tell you. Perhaps you don't know, but in the past, when our relationship with the Xuanyuan Tribe wasn't that good, whenever Xuanyuan had doubts they wanted to resolve, they needed to bring things to exchange with my father. Only when the price given was sufficient would my father answer their questions."

Bingzhu and the others looked at each other, and Bingzhu said directly: "I didn't expect that; there is actually such a thing. It seems your father is truly a very learned Sage. Then I certainly will have many questions that I need to ask your father. However, will your father charge me anything as the price for answering questions?"

Changle also hesitated: "Probably not. As long as it doesn't affect the interests of Huaxia or affect our own interests, my father should tell you and answer you without charging you anything."

"And personally, I really want to go see the sea. Perhaps there are quite a few people in our Huaxia who have this idea; maybe because of this, my father will tell you a bit more."
