Within a day, Zhang Tie's dog paddle was upgraded to freestyle swimming.
At a distance of more than a hundred meters, Zhang Tie rowed his arms easily on the sea. In less than two minutes, he swam to the position that Zhang Keliang just pointed at. After arriving there, Zhang Tie took a deep breath.
He plunged his head into the sea and immediately dived into the sea.
I had just dived more than ten meters, and what I could see with my eyes was that under the seabed, several hectares of the seabed were covered with red seaweed. The red seaweed was almost as tall as a person under the water. It swayed slowly with the surging seawater.
The bottom of the water seemed to be on fire. A large school of finger-long silvery fish swam around in the burning water like changing clouds, which was very interesting.
Because there are sea snakes here and the content of aquamarine iron ore on the seabed is not high, there are almost no people who come to this area to salvage aquamarine iron ore. Only people like Zhang Tie who have other purposes are willing to come here.
After approaching the kelp forest, Zhang Tie became cautious in the water, looking for the target carefully.
Three minutes later, before Zhang Tie could find a sea snake, a sea snake had already taken the initiative to find him. Just as Zhang Tie was swimming through a piece of red seaweed, a ferocious sea snake suddenly slithered out of the seaweed and through the gap in the rock.
He came out and bit Zhang Tie's calf.
Fortunately, sea snakes do not swim very fast in the sea. As soon as this snake sprang out, the black and white patterns on its body formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding colors. It was caught by Zhang Tie out of the corner of his eye. Zhang Tie
He shrunk his feet and quickly turned around in the water. He moved his hands slightly to maintain his balance in the water and faced the sea snake.
This is a sea snake that is almost two meters long and has a flat tail. It looks a bit like an eel, but it has a ferocious snake head.
Even if the sea snake is not a speed expert in the sea, his ability to swim and dive in the sea is definitely not as good as that of the sea snake. It is impossible to chase a sea snake, so Zhang Tie brakes quietly and waits for the sea snake to attack.
.
The sea snake that missed the hit did not leave. Instead, it swam around Zhang Tie and bit Zhang Tie's arm again. In this way, it played into Zhang Tie's hands.
Zhang Tie remained motionless. When the sea snake was about to bite him, his other hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed seven inches of the sea snake. The sea snake's body suddenly wrapped Zhang Tie's arm tightly, feeling
After looking at the power of this sea snake, Zhang Tie was secretly surprised. He wondered if this sea snake was a mutant creature. Zhang Tie felt that the power of the sea snake was extremely powerful. If he were an ordinary person, he would be entangled by this two-meter-long sea snake.
.No matter where you are entangled, you will probably be tired of dealing with it.
But for Zhang Tie, his battle with the sea snake was actually over the moment he could touch the sea snake's body. After quietly feeling the power of the sea snake, Zhang Tie's iron-blooded strength began to change.
With his hand, he poured it into the body of the sea snake - if it were the original iron-blooded dark strength, the sea snake at this moment would definitely turn into a ball of blood mist, but at this moment, the iron-blooded strength can allow Zhang Tie to show stronger control and
Destructive power.
In just an instant, under the impact of the iron-blood energy, every bone in the sea snake's body was turned into powder, but there were no wounds on the sea snake's body.
The sea snake wrapped around Zhang Tie's arm was like a lifeless soft rope, sliding from Zhang Tie's hand to the seaweed.
Two more are needed! Zhang Tie said to himself, and then continued to search more carefully in the kelp forest on the seabed.
Twenty minutes later, Zhang Tie showed his head on the sea surface, took two breaths, and dived again.
After diving this time, Zhang Tie swam back again after only more than ten minutes.
"Have you seen a sea snake?" Several people resting on the rocks asked Zhang Tie.
"Saw it!"
"How does it feel?"
"Those little things are quite cute!" Zhang Tie laughed. Those sea snakes were indeed quite cute. Without them, how could he generate the Soul Tribulation Fruit?
Done!
After a break at noon, everyone got busy again. One by one, they entered the water and began to salvage the aquamarine iron ore. After working for almost two hours, although it was not dark yet, the teenagers had already started to come in one after another.
They called it a day and left. Not for anything else, just because there were more than ten kilometers of rugged mountain roads to bring the salvaged sea blue iron to Qianlongtang. If it was too heavy, it would be impossible to carry it, so everyone could only carry it on their backs.
Go back with the aquamarine iron ore you can carry.
Although today is only his first time here, Zhang Tie has also gained something. The aquamarine iron ore that Zhang Tie salvaged today is almost more than 50 kilograms. And after several hours of exercise, Zhang Tie felt that his water-based
It seems to be getting better again.
When the work was over, the teenagers took the prepared wire rope and dived back to the bottom of the sea. They fastened the buckle at one end of the wire rope to the buckle of the already tied wire sack. Then they surfaced again, came to the reef, and tied their own ropes.
The wire sacks were pulled up, and finally a canoe was used to drag the items back to the shore. The process was quite cumbersome and laborious.
After arriving on the shore, everyone began to carry the aquamarine iron ore in their wire sacks on their backs from the path to the top of the mountain, and finally walked more than ten kilometers from the top of the mountain back to Qianlongtang.
Zhang Tie carrying the bag of more than 50 kilograms of aquamarine iron ore was actually just like playing. He basically didn't feel tired. But the others, those with Zhang Tie, Zhang Keliang, Zhang Yunfei, Zhang Hongsheng, and Wei Wu
, but it seemed quite strenuous to climb from the seaside to the top of the mountain. There were already beads of sweat on the foreheads of several people.
Zhang Tie actually wanted to help them, but Zhang Tie, who had gradually sensed the intention of Qianlongtang's mandatory mission, did not speak. Instead, he watched several people take their own aquamarine iron ore up by their own strength.
This mandatory task, in addition to allowing the young people who enter Qianlong Hall to learn to support themselves and understand the power of money, has other functions. The first is to make everyone familiar with water and master one more survival skills and abilities. If they survive on the island
People on it can still be drowned in the water. That is the biggest joke. It is simply an insult to the three words Qianlongtang. The second function is to exercise the physique of the young people in the process.
Perseverance and hard-working spirit.
The mandatory task of carrying 30,000 kilograms of sea blue iron, no matter how thin the body is, can become stronger after completing this task. Just like Zhang Yunfei, Zhang Yunfei's home is in Yiyang City, and his family is a shipping company.
The life of a young master with fine clothes and fine food, and one month after coming to Qianlongtang, this former young master also learned to carry his dignity on his thin shoulders. He began to grit his teeth and use his own strength to support himself.
I started to learn how to make money.
No one of us has experienced such suffering before. At this moment, everyone can only bite the bullet and persevere. No matter what your family conditions are, no matter what your background is, and what kind of reasons you have. Everyone bites the bullet and perseveres.
He gritted his teeth and persisted. No one dared to show off his identity and so-called family background here in order to get special treatment - because - the holder of the record of salvaging sea blue iron ore at Tieshitan is the head of the contemporary Zhang family in Huaiyuantang.
, Zhang Taixuan, Earl of Changfeng - 760,000 kilograms - this is the record left by the contemporary head of the Huaiyuantang family when he accepted the first task when he entered Qianlongtang.
Even the head of the Zhang family worked here honestly and without complaint, sweating like an old scalper. Why should you be special? What family affairs and identity can you show off?
The record of the head of the family is left on the 100-meter-high cliff in Tieshitan. A line of bright red characters can be seen by every young man who comes to Tieshitan to accept the task at the first glance. No matter how angry I feel about this task, I will never forget it.
People who couldn't figure it out, after seeing any line of records, started working with their heads down and their mouths closed.
On the first day, Zhang Tie was also shocked by the record and the identity of the record creator.
On the more than ten kilometers of mountain road, everyone stopped and walked, faltering, encouraging each other, and it took more than an hour to return to Qianlong Hall and go to the Artifacts Courtyard to hand in today's harvest.
Compared with the weight the day before yesterday, after the accumulation yesterday and today, everyone turned in a little more. Zhang Yunfei gritted his teeth and returned 152 kilograms of sea blue iron, and got 15 silver coins. After getting these 15 silver coins
When I arrived, the young man who used to be a car dealer in Yiyang City stared blankly at the 15 silver coins in his hand, and then started crying.
"I can finally support myself. I can finally earn more than 7 silver coins every day. Wu... Wu... I can finally support myself..."
After crying, Zhang Yunfei started to laugh again, because from today on, his debts on credit with Qianlong Hall can be slowly paid off and no longer increase. Before that, Zhang Yunfei's debts with Qianlong Hall were as of today
It has reached 34 silver coins. The 15 silver coins earned today mean that as long as this level is maintained, Zhang Yunfei's debt will no longer increase from now on, and will gradually decrease. This boy, who is also fifteen years old, has arrived.
After more than half a month on Qianlong Island, I was able to support myself for the first time.
Zhang Tie salvaged a total of 56 kilograms of aquamarine iron ore today, which also brought Zhang Tie an income of 5 silver coins.
It’s not easy. Starting from tomorrow, he has to earn at least 7 silver coins every day to support himself! Weighing the silver coins issued by Huaiyuantang with a giant bow printed on the front, Zhang Tie felt that this visit to Qianlongtang was really exciting.
It’s getting more and more interesting. Seven silver coins a day is certainly not a problem for Zhang Tie, who has gradually become familiar with water.
After getting the money, everyone was very happy and returned to Zhixingyuan together. When he came back this time, Zhang Tie found that the girls in Qianzhixingyuan had also returned. Compared with the tasks of the boys, the girls who had just entered Zhixingyuan were
The task is relatively simple, but it is by no means easy. The boys go into the sea to fish for ores, while the girls go into the sea to fish for pearls. In addition to not having as much labor as the boys, this task can also train the girls deeply.
There are now a total of forty-three people in Zhixingyuan. Among these forty-three, thirty-one are boys and only twelve are girls. The male-to-female ratio is close to three to one. Among these thirty-one boys, two are
Thirteen boys are still completing the first mission of Qianlong Hall in Iron Rock Beach. The other eight boys and two girls have reached level six and have accumulated enough money to go to the Island Dragon Cave every day.
His fighting spirit is condensed in the underground cave.
Among peers, as long as there are girls around, boys generally pay more attention to their own image. As soon as the teenagers who returned to Zhixingyuan with Zhang Tie came back, everyone hurried back to the house to take a shower and change clothes.
Don't look so embarrassed when you show up at the restaurant in anticipation of dinner. In Zhixingyuan, girls dine in the same restaurant as boys.
Zhang Tie also returned to his residence, took a shower, changed into a set of clean clothes he brought with him, rubbed the clothes he wore today, and hung them in the room to dry.
After all this trouble, it was almost time for dinner, so Zhang Tie left his residence and went to the restaurant.
At dinner time, most of the people from Zhixingyuan came back, so the restaurant seemed very lively. After the boys and girls each received a piece of dinner, they sat on both sides of the restaurant in separate groups, chatting quietly while eating.
In the meantime, there was a small circle of boys who were the loudest. Zhang Tie glanced at the boys in that circle and found that all the boys in that circle were level six. Several of them were already gathering fighting spirit in the island dragon cave.
A boy of similar age to himself.
All the talk in the circle of level 6 boys was about their fight with the giant black spider, a level 6 monster, in the dragon cave on the island.
"As long as I kill a few more black spiders, I can gather the New Moon's fighting spirit and officially enter Lingtian Academy!" One of those teenagers said proudly.
"We are almost there. Today Wanjie and I killed a black spider together. We have been polishing it in Zhixingyuan for more than two years. Now it's time to prove ourselves!"
There was a sound of approval all around...
Seeing those boys chatting loudly about their greatness while secretly paying attention to the reactions of the girls over there, Zhang Tie shook his head secretly. Do you want to use this method to attract the attention of little girls? He is really a pure and lovely boy.
ah!
Zhang Tie himself did not realize that after the intensive "nurturing" of him by the girls from the Rose Club, his mentality towards little girls was completely different from that of teenagers of his age.
…
"Who is Zhang Tie?"
Just when Zhang Tie came to Zhang Keliang's table with his dinner, someone suddenly asked loudly at the door of the restaurant. That person's voice suddenly suppressed all the sounds in the restaurant. Everyone was stunned.
He turned and looked towards the door of the restaurant.
I saw a tall, mighty, handsome-looking young man in his 20s, wearing a black samurai uniform, standing at the door of the restaurant, looking at everyone in the restaurant with bright eyes.
This young man in his 20s had eyebrows as thick as swords and was very imposing. There was an inexplicable sense of oppression in his eyes, which made everyone in the restaurant dare not look at him.
When he saw that this man looked vaguely similar to himself, Zhang Tie roughly guessed his identity - his cousin! (To be continued...)
