Heavenly Dao Formula

Chapter 353 Unexpected Crisis

Three miles east of the coastline, Noah's tree boat.

Pang Ting Yongge Sharman is inspecting the territory.

When the high priest is away, he is the acting elder, mainly responsible for supervising the health of the tree boat, and deploying various resources bred by the tree spirit.

After three months of docking and replenishment, the tree boat has returned to its former vitality. After not needing a lot of magic power to drive Noah, the orchard grew plump and juicy fruits again, and the islanders also spared their hands to plant some golden vines or cotton balls to supplement the vacancy of the fabric warehouse.

Of course, most of these things will be treated as commodities and traded to Jinxia City.

In particular, the characteristic fruit "bishui tangerine" cultivated on World Island is deeply loved by mainland businessmen. This thin-skinned fruit can squeeze out the pulp with a light pinch. Its juice is blue-green, and it looks like a clear sea in the sun. But its taste is definitely not the salty fishy taste of sea water, but sweet with a little sourness and a strong floral fragrance. It is a good choice whether it is eaten alone or cooked to remove fishy smell.

Pang Ting also likes to eat this kind of fruit, but for Noah's future, he insisted on reducing the family's supply to 10% to ensure that more green water oranges can be used for trading. It used to be a fruit that could be enjoyed every day on World Island, but now it is good enough to eat it once a week.

Through these transactions, Noah is continuously purchasing what he needs.

Examples include salt, clothing, iron tools, armor, and air rifles.

Although the dried fish marinated with salt is far from the seafood cooked in hot soup, it is better than filling.

The same is true for linen and leather clothes. They are not exquisite, but they can keep warm and cheap enough.

Not to mention the other types.

They are all things that the tree boat cannot produce by itself.

Among them, Pang Ting admired the air rifle the most. With a killing distance of nearly 300 steps, it can also fire continuously, which is much more powerful than bows and arrows and firearms. He also didn't expect that when the high priest offered to buy this weapon, the other party would agree. It is not insincere to let the elves participate in the production and open it to the tree boat to buy.

Since the elves do not need silver taels, the Bureau of Affairs also thoughtfully made a "barter" manual for them. They can either exchange goods for silver taels first, and then use the money to shop, or they can directly exchange the same amount of goods according to the manual .

But even so, Pang Ting still insists that the repurchased goods should be "able to sail independently".

If the tree boat and the mainland are completely bound together, in case the latter changes his mind one day, it will be too late to leave at that time.

While inspecting a new batch of packaged goods, Pang Ting suddenly heard a commotion behind him.

"Don't run around, this is a warehouse!"

"Is the patriarch of the Shaman family here?"

"Do you have something urgent?"

"Yeah, I came all the way from Changqiao Wharf."

"Let him come over!" Pang Ting put down the golden vine in his hand and shouted towards the door.

After seeing the visitor, he took the initiative to ask, "Are you from the Bolton family, what's the matter?"

"My lord, my name is Diller Bolton, and I'm in charge of managing the thorn algae at the Longbridge Wharf." The other party said while panting, "Today's fishing was going smoothly, but when I was halfway through harvesting the algae, I suddenly found a big thing entangled in it." On the algae belt, everyone thought it was something like a shark, but when they got closer, they realized that it was actually a green shuttle!"

"Green shuttle?" Pang Ting frowned. "The patrol team didn't report the disappearance. Could it be that someone is using it privately? What about the driver? I should know all the islanders who can control the green shuttle."

"The driver...is dead." Diller shook his head, "And the robe he's wearing doesn't look like the one on Noah."

"Not from Noah?" Pang Ting repeated, and suddenly thought of a possibility, his expression suddenly changed, "Take me to see!"

...

At the edge of the treeboat, the dryad grows long synapses, some extending for miles.

The combination and fixation of the tree boat and the tree boat depend on these synapses being embedded in each other, and the unused synapses can be used as docks or towing fishing grounds.

Long Bridge Wharf is one of them.

When we arrived at the pier, there were already many people around the roadside.

"Rang Rang, Rang Rang! The deputy elder is here!"

Pang Ting squeezed into the crowd, and soon saw the green shuttle entangled in thornweed. Through the skeleton, a pale islander lay motionless on the seat, with blood oozing from his robe.

"Has anyone touched him?" Pang Ting asked loudly.

Everyone shook their heads in unison, "My lord, we just dragged the green shuttle here."

"Very good, guards, seal the scene!" Pang Ting immediately ordered to disperse the onlookers, then walked to the green shuttle, lifted the above wave board, and dragged the deceased out of the cockpit.

The other party was indeed not from Noah's Shuzhou. He confirmed that he had never seen this character in his memory, which meant that the green shuttle came from other Shuzhou.

As for the injuries of the deceased... Pang Ting tore off the part of his robe that was dyed red, and two black and red holes appeared in front of him. There is no doubt that the man had been shot with a musket in his lifetime.

Pang Ting felt his heart sink.

The answer is self-evident for enemies who can pose a threat to tree boats on the sea and are equipped with such weapons.

He expected that the other party would enter the Western Sea sooner or later, but he didn't expect that they would pursue so urgently.

"Come on, let Master Senia know," the patriarch stood up, "The tree boat may have to set sail."

...

On the tree platform, the faint fireflies dragged the figures of the two people to a long distance.

"What did you say?" Senia's voice made the fire light tremble slightly, "Let Noah Shuzhou leave Jinxia temporarily?"

"This is the safest way." Pang Ting did not retreat at all. "The fact that the green shuttle came to this place means that other tree boats have also fled to the western sea area, and they will not be too far from the mainland. At the same time, they are still following The imperial pursuit is an extremely dangerous signal. We can head south against the ocean current, find a way to bypass this continent, and then go to the morning and evening sea that has never been explored on the map to find a new foothold."

"Do you know what this means? Not only do we have to turn a blind eye to another tree boat that might exist, but we also have to give up everything we got in Jinxia."

"It's not about giving up. We can come back after avoiding the limelight."

"Why? We have a covenant with Her Royal Highness, and they should help us defend against foreign enemies at this time." The high priest frowned.

"Jinxia City is indeed a good place. Noah Shuzhou gets better every day here, and everyone can see it." Pang Ting sighed, "Because of this, I don't want to gamble on this possibility."

Seeing him like this, Senia also calmed down, "Are you worried that they will break the covenant?"

"The covenant can't let them do what they can't achieve. As you can see, there are almost no warships in Jinxia City, and it is unlikely to send out an attack on the imperial army. This means that the enemy will have the initiative. As long as the coastal bombardment, not only Noah will protect If we don’t come down, the loss of Jinxia City will be immeasurable. At that time, we will have no tree boats, and we will not be able to provide tree spirit seeds, will Princess Qiguo and Executive Officer Xia Fan stick to their previous views?”

Pang Ting paused for a moment and continued, "A qualified person in power should put aside feelings and only use interests to measure the relationship between the two parties. They are like this, and so are we. If you leave this place temporarily, the empire will not focus on Jinxia City. Our clansmen who stay in the city can continue to live unaffected. Similarly, the two parties do not need to use this matter to test the covenant relationship, so as not to leave knots in their hearts. I believe that in a few years, the kingdom of this continent Maybe we'll go out to sea, we'll just have to bear it until then."
