Chapter 5 Good Practice in the Sea (1)
On the west side of Qianlong Island, there is a beach covered with reefs. The beach is under a steep cliff hundreds of meters high. From the beach to the cliff, there is only a winding path to pass. They are all different from those in other places. The color of those stones, if you look carefully, has a slight blue metallic luster. This area is the iron stone beach where sea blue iron ore is salvaged on Qianlong Island.
It was noon, the sun was scorching above the head, and the sea was bursting with waves. In the sea area of Tieshitan, more than 20 teenagers were working hard to salvage the aquamarine iron ore.
The reefs protruding from the sea made it impossible for ships to approach them, but at this moment, those reefs became the best bases for the young men who salvaged the aquamarine iron ore.
With the sound of splashing water, on the sea surface next to a house-sized reef, Zhang Tie emerged from the water, breathed in the fresh air on the sea surface, and exhaled all the stale air in his body. When he came out, his whole body undulated slightly with the waves.
"Zhang Tie...do you want to come up and take a rest? It's noon, let's have something to eat first..." Zhang Hong, who was already so tired that he was lying on the reef basking in the sun, greeted Zhang Tie weakly.
Next to Zhang Hongsheng, Wei Wu, who was lying motionless like a dried salted fish on the reef, was so tired that he couldn't even speak.
There was another sound of splashing water, Zhang Yunfei with a pale complexion emerged from the sea beside the reef, and then swam to the edge of the reef with some difficulty, and after climbing up the reef, he lay down weakly.
"I still have some strength, and I can go down again..." After speaking loudly to Zhang Hongsheng, Zhang Tie lowered his head, stabbed hard, and after slapping his feet on the water, he dived into the sea again.
"Zhang... How long has Zhang Tie been diving this time?" Zhang Yunfei panted and asked Zhang Hongsheng.
"It's been almost twenty minutes. Damn, it's a monster!" Wei Wu sat up from the reef and said through gritted teeth, "This guy was only good at dog planing yesterday, and he couldn't even dive. He was sinking." Not going down, in order to learn how to dive, in the end, he had to jump into the sea with a big rock in his arms, making the other guys laugh out loud. Unexpectedly, this kind of stupid method really made him learn to dive. , I have only practiced for a day, and today this guy is impatient to make money..."
"Oh, don't talk about it, it will hurt your self-esteem. I have been here for more than a month, and now I can barely dive underwater for fifteen minutes. This guy only came here for the second day, and now he spends less than 10 minutes underwater. Already older than me, this is how people compare to people, and it makes people mad..." Zhang Hongsheng also sighed, "Maybe the ancestor bloodline awakened by this guy is related to water. I heard that this kind of bloodline existed in Qianlongtang before. Pass……"
Several teenagers were talking on the reef, when there was another splashing sound, Zhang Keliang showed his head on the sea beside the reef, and after taking a few breaths, Zhang Keliang looked at the reef, "Where is Zhang Tie, he is coming up!" Yet?"
"Come up, just went down again..." Zhang Yunfei replied.
"This guy..." Zhang Keliang shook his head and smiled wryly. After taking two breaths, he also dived down again.
...
Next to it are clumps of beautiful corals, and there are beautiful small fish swimming among the corals. The sea water on the iron stone beach is as clear as a mirror. Large stretches of light and shadow like twisting fish scales are formed on the white sandy beach, which is as beautiful as if it is not in the world.
In the sea is a colorful world,
The splendor here is far from comparable to that on land.
Zhang Tie was like a clumsy but curious little fish, his eyes widened, looking at the fantastic underwater world that he had never seen before, while trying his best to swim to the nearest trench.
The terrain in the sea here is very strange. There are deep ditches more than ten meters wide under the sea. The ditches grow from small to large, from shallow to deep, and extend into the sea step by step. , there is a drop of more than ten meters. In the distance and in deeper places, the width and depth of these deep trenches become larger and longer, and those aquamarine iron ore are in these deep trenches. under the sand.
These deep trenches are very similar to the landforms carved by glaciers millions of years ago. Zhang Tie doesn't know why there are these special aquamarine iron ores under the sea here, but since there are those exposed on the land. iron ore, it should not be surprising that there is such a thing on the bottom of the sea.
The aquamarine iron ore near Qianlong Island, of course, all belong to Huaiyuantang.
Now Zhang Tie has just learned to dive, and his diving skills are not yet proficient. Although he can hold his breath for a long time, he can only barely dive to that depth to search for sea blue iron ore in the trench of more than 30 meters.
Those teenagers in Zhixingyuan who are more familiar with water can dive to 50 meters or deeper to find aquamarine iron ore. The deeper the place, the larger the size and quantity of aquamarine iron ore can be found .
There are a small amount of green marine plants like aquatic plants growing in the trench. Under these plants, there is a layer of soft silver fine sand. The aquamarine iron ore is buried under the fine sand, some of them are big, Part of it will be exposed, and a faint blue brilliance will flash in the water. The color contrast of these things is very strong, which makes people feel pleasing to the eye.
Zhang Tie just found two pieces of fist-sized aquamarine iron ore in the sand of the trench, and was about to put the ore in a wire sack not far away. Zhang Keliang had already swam over and gestured to Zhang Tie in the water. A gesture, meaning to tell Zhang Tie to pay attention to safety...
Zhang Tie nodded underwater. In this water area, it is not absolutely safe. I heard that there are people from Lingtianyuan guarding the water in the distant sea area. Creatures are hunted and killed, such as those mutated magic sharks, but there are also many dangerous things below the water surface within a kilometer of Iron Rock Beach, poisonous sea urchins, highly poisonous sea snakes, which can also cause people to die if they are not careful. Serious injury or death, especially for sea snakes, once bitten, if you don't go ashore to take the antidote within five minutes, you can die.
The antidote to deal with sea snakes costs 20 silver coins each, which is something everyone must bring besides dry food. Of course, among all these people, Zhang Tie who just came here and hasn't earned a silver coin is naturally excluded.
This time, he stayed underwater for less than 20 minutes, and found more than ten kilograms of aquamarine iron ore. Zhang Tie gradually felt his chest getting tighter and tighter, and he persisted for another minute or two. Zhang Tie, who stayed a little longer than last time, came up again, put his head out of the sea, took two big mouthfuls of gasps, then swam back to the reef and climbed up.
Elementary sea diving fish breath technique is also a skill that requires continuous proficiency and honing before it can be used better and better.
Zhang Tie was able to achieve this step in two days, which has surprised many people, but Zhang Tie still feels a little dissatisfied. In the water, Zhang Tie felt that he was still very jerky, not proficient and nimble enough, whether it was the persistence time or the body's movement response, and the effect of the elementary diving fish breathing technique had not yet been fully exerted.
Should be able to do better! Zhang Tie said to himself, but looking at the eyes of Zhang Yunfei and the others looking at him, Zhang Tie knew that this kind of thing should not be rushed, so he could only take it slowly like practicing Iron Blood God Fist.
Although physically able to persist for many more times, Zhang Tie didn't want to attract too much attention, so he also climbed to the reef to bask in the sun and eat dry food to rest.
A few minutes later, Zhang Keliang also swam up, sat on the reef to rest, drank water, and ate dry food.
From morning to now, five people have been fighting in the water for four or five hours. Except for Zhang Tie, everyone was already feeling very tired.
Looking at the endless sea and eating the dried meat and preserved fruit in his hands, Zhang Tie felt as if he had returned to the Crescent Grassland. It's the waves.
Thinking of the New Moon Grassland, thinking of those wild wolves, Zhang Tie slapped himself on the forehead fiercely, and scolded himself in his heart, Zhang Tie, you are a pig, why did you forget this, isn’t it just to practice elementary school? Sea diving fish breath technique and diving, are these two things difficult to practice with Iron and Blood Fist? Have you forgotten how your Iron and Blood Fist was cultivated? Have you forgotten your soul robbery fruit?
"Hahahaha..." Zhang Tie burst into laughter suddenly, causing Wei Wu, Zhang Keliang and others beside him to look sideways.
"What's wrong?" Wei Wu asked.
"I just suddenly thought of a fun thing!" Zhang Tie said smugly.
"What fun thing?"
"I realized that I have never seen what a sea snake looks like!"
"Ah, crazy..." Wei Wu curled his lips, and several other people also rolled their eyes.
"Where are there more sea snakes near here?" Zhang Tie asked Wei Wu.
"Aren't you going to die? I still think I have too much money. The antidote for a sea snake costs 20 silver coins, which is enough for you to work for a day!" Zhang Hongsheng said.
"It doesn't matter. I'll go and see what the sea snake looks like. I'll be on my guard in the future. Even if I'm bitten, I'll borrow your antidote and use it first, and I'll return it to you when I make money!" Zhang Tie said carelessly.
"Do you really want to see what the sea snake looks like?" Zhang Keliang looked at Zhang Tie seriously.
Zhang Tie nodded.
"It's over there..." Zhang Keliang pointed to the sea surface of a few table-sized scattered reefs a hundred meters away to the left. I was bitten by a sea snake there, and the sea snakes here like to hide in the kelp forest, and they have black and white ring stripes on their bodies!"
"I'll go take a look..." Zhang Tie said, stood up from the reef, plunged into the sea, and swam over there quickly... Provided by Ersheng]. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (m) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
