Chapter 1346: Seeing the Sea Again

Xiaohe currently has a fairly clear understanding of his own situation, and with Ce having explained a lot to him and told him what he should do, Xiaohe has now decided to first focus his efforts on cats.

Aside from continuing to raise these few cats, he must continue to search for and capture cats; only if he can continue to breed them will his Nobility be secured, otherwise, he will be stuck here for his entire life, as it is impossible to earn Nobility through herding, and if it were possible, the Pastures of Huaxia would surely have many Nobles.

Ce is very dedicated; after all, Xiaohe's promotion is tied to his own future, and if Xiaohe can handle this matter well, then he can take advantage of Xiaohe's merit to secure some Nobility for himself as well.

Within the Jiuli, Chiyou has already arranged for people to search for the sea. Fritillaria received this news last winter, and facing that place which everyone calls the Cursed Land, everyone was still somewhat afraid, but they also seemed to have gently come into contact with a bit of the essence of the sea, and after gaining a little understanding of it, they were not quite as afraid anymore.

Now, Fritillaria is already leading people, walking all the way toward the Winter side; although it is already spring, the temperature is still very low, and it is still very cold.

Crossing hills and pushing through thickets, they finally saw the blue in the distance from a mountaintop.

The sea breeze, carrying a hint of a fishy smell, blew onto their faces, telling them that the distance was no longer far, so hurry up and come, hurry and come!

"Leader, is that the sea? I really can't see the edge; it feels so terrifying!"

Fritillaria comforted the panicked Soldiers: "The sea is nothing more than a larger lake; what is there to be afraid of!"

"Those people from Huaxia said that the food inside the sea is too much to eat; don't you want to go and see? Let's all go; we will take a closer look when we reach the seaside. This time, let's not be afraid."

"The seawater has a sound, it will retreat and advance; that is all normal. It is also normal to feel dizzy looking at the seawater; you just need to get used to it a little. Go, go, go! Let's hurry and take a look; if we really see food that we can't finish eating, then the Tribal Chief will surely reward us!"

Under Fritillaria's encouragement, the Soldiers gathered their courage and headed toward the so-called cursed place. The wind was truly very strong, and it also felt very damp, which made these people feel extremely cold.

But since they had already reached the seaside, was there any reason to turn back? No, they had to continue moving forward.

Getting closer and closer to the sea, they could already see the seawater moving back and forth. Once their field of vision opened up, they were a bit afraid to keep walking forward.

Until one Soldier shouted toward the front: "There is a fish there! So big!"

Fritillaria looked in the direction the Soldier was pointing and indeed saw a fish. To set an example for the Soldiers, he was the first to walk forward, and the Soldiers watched him nervously.

But before Fritillaria had walked a few steps, he felt something under his feet. He cautiously squatted down to look, then used his hand to dig into the sand, and dug out a hard object. It looked very much like a river clam; perhaps it was a sea clam?

But upon thinking about it, river clam meat is inedible, so he figured this kind probably wasn't either, and he threw it away directly. However, before he had even left, he discovered there were more under his feet. He simply used his hands to dig into the ground, and unexpectedly, with a casual dig, he unearthed several such things. This left Fritillaria extremely astonished; was the quantity actually this large?

If this thing could be eaten, wouldn't it be able to completely solve the food problem of their Jiuli?

Seeing their Leader casually dig up so many, the other Soldiers couldn't help but dig under their own feet as well. Unexpectedly, they really did just dig them up casually, without wasting any effort. Everyone looked at each other; was the produce on this seaside really this abundant?

Fritillaria no longer paid attention to his feet but walked straight toward that fish. However, after his gaze paused for a moment, he changed direction and began to sprint, getting closer and closer to the direction of the seawater, and all the Soldiers became panicked.

Fritillaria grabbed that green thing; it was slippery, very large, and wide. After he fished it out, the drawing on that piece of paper immediately surfaced in his mind. He excitedly held up that super-large Grass: "Found it! It really exists, come and see!"

With Fritillaria shouting like this, the other Soldiers were completely unafraid and all scrambled over to look. Although Fritillaria, as a Leader, had better treatment and such, it also meant he had to lead by example and be the first to charge; only then could he be a brave and qualified Soldier.

Everyone scrambled to look at the water grass in Fritillaria's hand, feeling greatly shocked. Who could have thought that it really existed? If that were the case, wouldn't those things Huaxia spoke of basically be true?

Another Soldier fished out a large piece, very large. At this time, everyone noticed that in the sea, in the seawater, it seemed that many, many things were drifting. In a slightly further position, under the seawater, it seemed that more, countless things were hidden.

A Soldier tore off a bit of a piece he had picked up, stuffed it into his mouth, and began to taste it. Everyone watched him very anxiously until he swallowed the thing.

"A bit salty, a little bitter, hmm... and a very strange fishy smell, but the taste is okay, better than most Grass, and the most important thing is that it has a salty taste."

Upon hearing that it had a salty taste, everyone prepared to try it, but Fritillaria hurriedly stopped them: "Hey! Don't eat it yet; wait and watch him. If he is fine, then we will eat. For now, let's see what other things there are."

Only then did everyone hurriedly hold back; after all, one Shennong is enough, they don't all need to be one, so everyone went to look for other things.

But everyone discovered that there were far too many small fish stranded on the seaside; they couldn't finish picking them up with their hands, and they couldn't finish carrying them in their clothes. It wasn't just fish, but also some shrimp, much larger than river shrimp, which they didn't pick up.

Fritillaria picked up that big fish, but unfortunately, as soon as he picked it up, he felt it wasn't fresh; the stench was very strong, and even the birds flying in the Heaven were unwilling to come and eat it. Fritillaria also threw it down in disgust; if even the birds wouldn't eat it, he didn't want it either.

Everyone's harvest grew larger and larger, because if they were willing to flip over rocks, they would find crabs, as well as strange things that would stick to their hands. They looked too strange; the Soldiers would use force to shake them off and then use their Weapon to hack them to death, but even after being hacked to death, they were still wriggling—too terrifying.

If it weren't for the appearance of the Grass, which proved that the sea was not that dangerous, they would have already started running by now; it was all too eerie.
