The Caveman Made Me Awesome

Cangwu didn't know what the thing Ye Xi drew in her palm was useful for, but she still indulged Ye Xi to drag her into the dead water grass. However, sharp nails appeared on her empty right hand, ready to tear the surrounding aquatic plants into pieces at any time.

Who knew that this difficult patch of water and grass treated them like rocks, and after entering for a while, there was still no movement at all, allowing the two to shuttle freely among them.

—the land of death was completely open to them.

After turning around a few times, they came to a place where a large fish bone lay.

Ye Xi pulled Cang Wu to stop, and began to quietly appreciate the wonders around him.

The surrounding aquatic plants swayed slightly, like enlarged fluorescent kelp and swaying rags, and their height was about the same as that of a big tree. They were like a fluorescent underwater forest in the depths, except that the sky was thick black.

Cang Wu looked at the large fishbone lying nearby, and said quietly: "I was also trapped when I came here when I was young."

Ye Xi looked at her.

Ever been attacked as a child? Didn't it mean that this piece of dead aquatic grass only attacks large creatures? Was it dangerous at that time? Are you hurt?

Cang Wu seemed to understand what Ye Xi was thinking, and explained: "My tail is very long, and it was not short when I was a child, so I was attacked."

She said with a smile, "At that time, I got angry and almost tore off half of the aquatic plants in the trench, but now it seems that they have all grown back, and they are taller than before."

Ye Xi also smiled.

He could imagine how the young Cangwu angrily competed with these aquatic plants, and how the green-tailed mermaids living in the aquatic plants looked at her in horror and showed their might.

etc……

The green-tailed sharks have seen Cangwu in the past.

Cangwu's silver tail is so conspicuous and unique, even though Cangwu looked a lot different when he was a child than he does now, these little green-tailed mermaids should still have an impression.

But why didn't they recognize Cangwu when they saw Cangwu just now, and could only perceive Cangwu's identity from his blood?

...Could it be that the years that passed in between lived longer than all the green-tailed mermaids outside?

So how old is Cang Wu? It can't be hundreds of years old, right?

Ye Xi's heart skipped a beat, he stared blankly at Cangwu's flawless side profile, and after a while, turned back silently.

never mind.

His gut told him it was better not to ask.

Ye Xi shook his head, and in order to forget the question just now, he turned to look at the surrounding sea creatures seriously.

This is a deep sea with a depth of more than 5,000 meters. Because of the strong water pressure, some fish look different from those in the shallow sea.

Some fish's mouths are bulging like tumors, and some fish carry a small blinking light on their foreheads, with a neon lantern effect. Some fishes have denser and more uneven teeth than piranhas, and their skin is mottled and uneven, so ugly that they cannot bear to look directly at them.

A group of goose-yellow tadpole-like things swam over to peck his skin.

Ye Xi felt itchy and didn't chase them away.

But after pecking for a while, they didn't find anything edible like dead skin moss, and swam to his feet in disgust. There are some boulders at the bottom of this trench, and they are pecking at the moss on them.

Ye Xi's gaze followed them, and he was pleasantly surprised to see a small and exquisite seahorse struggling to swim around his thigh.

Ye Xi reached out and grabbed the little seahorse.

He spread his palms and stared at the frightened little seahorse magically.

Wait for it to escape, then fish it back, escape and then fish it back, never tired of it.

A smile appeared in Cang Wu's eyes: "Do you like seahorses?"

Ye Xi nodded.

The seahorse is so exquisite and amazing, it's hard for anyone not to like it, not to mention that this is the first time he has seen and touched a seahorse up close.

Cangwu thought of the little golden seahorse she kept in the stone box, and said: "There are more beautiful seahorses in my blue-gold coral, which will emit light of the same color as the sun."

When Ye Xi heard that there was a seahorse that could glow, his eyes lit up with longing, and he immediately let go of the little seahorse in his hand.

Cangwu regretted it when he said it.

In fact, she had forgotten the little golden glowing seahorse for a long time, and after so long, she didn't know if the little seahorse was still alive or not.

Seeing Ye Xi's shining expectant eyes, Cang Wu regretted for the first time that she didn't take good care of that little seahorse. Now I can only hope that it is strong and not starved to death.

Cang Wu changed the subject: "These aquatic plants taste good, you can try them."

As she spoke, she swiped her finger and cut off a piece of water grass.

The shape of this aquatic plant is similar to kelp, and it is as thick as a finger. After being cut off, the dark green juice gushes out like blood, blurring the surrounding sea water.

Cangwu pulled Ye Xi upstream and escaped from this dead aquatic grass.

The green-tailed mermaids, who were worried about the safety of Cangwu, had gnawed their fingers and looked for them in a panic among the aquatic plants. When they looked up and saw that they were safe, they all let out surprise coos from their throats, and they wanted to teach them The two mermen of the language had black lines all over their faces, and they began to worry about where to start teaching them.

...

on the sea.

Ye Xi used the cold witch pattern to freeze a piece of ice floe, and the two of them sat on the floe and began to cut this huge seaweed.

Cang Wu first cut a piece for Ye Xi.

Ye Xi's eyes lit up after taking a bite: "It tastes really good! It's delicious!"

Perhaps these aquatic plants grew up eating meat. They taste very delicious and juicy. He hasn't eaten anything like kelp and seaweed for a long time. He suddenly ate it and missed it very much.

As he gnawed, he thought of seaweed stewed pork ribs, spicy seaweed shreds, seaweed egg drop soup, seaweed tofu seafood soup, crispy dried seaweed... His stomach was about to growl at the thought.

Seeing that Ye Xi liked it so much, Cangwu didn't want him to be unable to eat it when he returned to Xicheng, so he said, "I'll ask someone to send more to Xicheng when I go back."

After thinking for a while, he said, "I'm afraid this grass won't taste good without the sea water, so let someone give it to you regularly."

Ye Xi moved Cangwu to think so thoroughly for him, his heart felt warm, but he didn't want to tire other mermaids so much.

This is the hinterland of the ocean. It is thousands of miles away from Xicheng, and it will take a lot of time to deliver seaweed to Xicheng. In addition, the sea is not absolutely safe, across such a long sea area, the mermaid who gave him something may be in danger.

"No, thank you Wu."

Ye Xi kissed Cang Wu on the forehead and declined.

In fact, kelp laver is not impossible to artificially plant on a large scale. Xicheng is not too far from the coast, and it is within the radiating range of Xicheng's influence. It is not difficult to grow kelp and laver in the shallow sea.

The merman living closest to the land is also far away from the coast, so there is no need to worry about invading a certain merman's territory.

Thinking of this, Ye Xi began to think seriously.

If you really want to raise them, you can send people to build a few stone houses on the shore, and build some kelp and seaweed breeding bases in the shallow sea. The laver seems to be raised on the net rope, and the kelp needs to be tested. Anyway, it will not be too difficult.

You can also build a sea salt drying field by the way. No matter how much rock salt there is in the rock salt mine, it will eventually run out, and sea salt must be developed.

Thinking about it this way, there are really many benefits to establishing a station there. It will be more convenient for the clansmen to go to sea to catch seafood in the future, and it can further expand the safe territory.

In the future, when the time is ripe, the main city of Xicheng, the coast station, and the former territory of the Xia tribe can all be included in the residential area of ​​Xicheng, and several wide main roads will be built in the jungle to connect these three points and form a single village. Ten thousand square kilometers of triangular residential territory, within the scope of the residential territory, build stone houses, expand farmland...to become a city in the true sense.

But although the idea is good, it is not yet possible to realize it.

The population of Xicheng is too small.

A residential city of tens of thousands of square kilometers is comparable to a large city in the previous life, with a population of tens of millions. If it is built now, it will make the land sparsely populated, and they can only live scattered.

So if you want to build such a big city that is countless times more prosperous than the super tribe, you have to wait for the population of Xicheng to increase, at least two million or more.

This will be a century-old plan.

However, the population growth rate of Xicheng is very fast now. Except for female soldiers and the elderly, almost all women of the right age are increasing the population of Xicheng at the rate of one child a year.

In this barbaric world, there is no idea of ​​fewer and eugenics, and there are no contraceptive measures. They just give birth as soon as they can, and the more children the merrier.

No matter what tribe people are, basically everyone thinks this way.

Under this concept, the population of small and medium-sized tribes was still so small in the past, and some had only a miserable few hundred people. There are many reasons behind it.

One of the most important reasons is that it is difficult to obtain food with low strength. The second is the harsh environment. Every year, the hot and cold winters are difficult, and it is difficult for the elderly, weak, women and children to survive. In the end, childbirth is also a big difficulty. The conditions here are too backward, the mortality rate of pregnant women is very high, and children under the age of three are prone to die young. Only the tribes with witch doctors are better.

But now Xicheng has eliminated all these factors. There is no shortage of food or water in the city. The body is great.

Perhaps it won't take long to build such a truly prosperous city.

"You are in a daze, what are you thinking?"

Cangwu's sweet voice rang in his ears.

Ye Xi blinked and came back to his senses, only then did he realize that he was eating seaweed and thought of the population of Xicheng and the Centennial Project? !

Ok? ? ?
