Chapter 701 - Dont You Even Think About It! (2/2)

They had more people on the ships now, so they couldn’t survive by relying merely on the stock they had on the ships. Whenever they had time, the people would catch smaller fish in the sea. Sometimes they used nets and other times they used fishing rods.

They prepared enough medicine beforehand just in case anyone got sick on the ships. Shao Xuan had reminded Mu Fa about this before they departed, so Mu Fa was quite grateful towards Shao Xuan for this. After all, the Longboat tribe had enough experience on the rivers inland but not out at sea.

It was just like when they came. When they returned, they encountered bad weather, and many of the Taihe tribe felt unwell. They could only depend on medicines after a few days of seasickness.

Qing Yi would sometimes go underwater. Even though the seawater was cold, he was already used to the temperature. Before they departed, he had swum in the frozen rivers and sea, so this wasn’t hard at all for him. The only things he had to watch out for were the dangerous creatures in the sea.

Today was another sunny day.

The sea was still considerably calm, just a few gentle breezes now and then.

“Kwit-kwit-kwit —”

An eagle’s cry came from the sky and shocked Shao Xuan, who was looking at his map. He took his binoculars and climbed up the mast to take a look at what was ahead.

“What happened?” Mu Fa asked.

There was only one pair of binoculars. Even if Mu Fa had good eyesight, he couldn’t see as far as the great mountain eagle or the binoculars.

Shao Xuan looked far away through the binoculars. He didn’t see any dangerous sea beasts, but he noticed a lot of crushed pieces of…… ice!

“There’s a lot of ice up ahead, watch out!”

There were no icebergs nearby, and no one knew exactly where those pieces of ice came from. They were of all sizes and there were a lot of them, but most of them had already begun to melt. Since they were melting, they wouldn’t be much of a threat to their ships.

Mu Fa ordered for them to slow down. As they approached the ice, he noticed creatures inside!

He took a net and scooped up the ice from the sea. He examined it closely and noticed that they were just beetle-like insects. He didn’t know what kind of insects they were. He had never seen insects like these before.

In the past, Mu Fa wouldn’t show any interest in these beetles, but it was different this time. These insects were in the sea!

Who knew if they actually belonged in the sea?

They don’t look like it?

How would they know if these didn’t come from the sea?

“Scoop them up, scoop them all up! Bring it back so our tribesmen can take a close look at what we found!” Mu Fa hesitated, as if he thought of something, and then yelled over at Shao Xuan, “It’s all mine! Don’t you even think about it!”

The Flaming Horns were initially not interested, but seeing Mu Fa’s reaction, their interest was suddenly sparked.

Duo Kang pointed at what seemed like frozen creatures preserved in ice and yelled at some other Flaming Horns, “Scoop some up too! I want to see what they are!”
