Song Yan spent 300 taels of gold to buy a medium-sized ship, another 100 taels of gold to hire more than a dozen sailors, and 500 taels of gold to hire 20 divine sea warriors, a chef, and two ordinary-looking Maid.
Two hours later, the ship officially sailed out of the pier and headed into the sea.
The boat was equipped with special fishing tools, so that night, the chef showed off his skills and cooked a full fish feast.
Although this chef is dark and short, his cooking skills are indeed extraordinary.
For this reason, Song Yan directly gave him five taels of gold, and he was so happy that the other party could not find Bei Nan. In the days to come, he even tried his best to cook various delicacies to please Song Yan.
After chatting with the sailors, it was found that it would take at least half a year to sail on the sea to reach the Haitian Sword Sect.
Three days later.
The ship sailed out of the offshore sea, and the sailors on the ship looked a little more solemn, and even the divine sea warriors became wary.
The ferocious beasts in the coastal waters have been hunted and killed, and there are now very few of them.
But once you get out of the sea, there will be more ferocious beasts.
Fortunately, there was a bag of excrement from a ferocious beast in the sea hanging on the bow. This ferocious beast was quite powerful. Generally, ferocious beasts would not dare to approach the ship easily when they smelled the smell of its excrement.
the other side.
After three days of sailing, the Rose Sea Fleet's ship finally arrived at a bay.
In this bay lives a special kind of sea beast - sea iron shell.
The iron shell is a kind of sea monster with weak attack. Their shells are very hard, but their meat is quite delicious. A pound of iron shell meat is worth one tael of silver. At the same time, the shells of the iron shell can also be used to make Armor, generally the value of a piece of sea iron shell is between one hundred taels and five hundred taels of silver.
If you are lucky, you can also mine sea pearls from the iron shell.
Even an ordinary sea pearl can be sold for a hundred taels of gold. If it is in good condition, it can even be sold for more than a thousand taels of gold.
"Captain, are there really iron shells here?"
On the Rose Sea Team's ship, Ning Qiangwei stood on the bow, and the rest of the sea team stood beside her or behind her.
Ning Qiangwei nodded, looking vaguely excited: "This is the news I bought at a huge price. As long as we can get more than a hundred yuan of iron shells this time, we can make a lot of money."
Each piece of iron shell weighs thousands of kilograms.
The heavier ones can reach two to three thousand kilograms.
As long as you get a hundred yuan and pay back the iron shell, you will earn at least hundreds of thousands of silver.
"That's great!"
After receiving the affirmative answer, everyone else in the sea team showed excitement.
Ning Qiangwei continued: "The ship will dock in half a quarter of an hour. Li Wu will lead the people to set up the camp. I will lead the people to investigate first!"
Soon, the ship docked.
Some of them went to set up camp.
Ning Qiangwei led seven or eight people to explore different areas.
The water where the sea iron shell is located is not too deep, but it must be protected from sneak attacks by other ferocious beasts.
Therefore, it takes at least three people to collect iron shells.
After two hours of exploration, Ning Qiangwei and others returned to the prepared camp, with joy on their faces, because just now, they actually discovered more than fifty sea iron shells.
"Captain, it won't get dark until two hours, why don't we go and fish out those dozens of sea clams now!" the wretched young man suggested.
"good!"
Ning Qiangwei agreed after only thinking about it for a moment.
There are seventeen people in the Rose Sea Team, and including the four newly recruited Divine Sea warriors, there are only twenty-one people.
One Yuandan team member and one Shenhai warrior were left to guard the camp.
The other nineteen people were divided into eight teams to retrieve it.
After two hours of collecting, it went very smoothly, and all the iron shells that were detected before were fished out.
Looking at the more than fifty pieces of iron shells in the camp, everyone seemed to see the white money waving to them.
Later, Ning Qiangwei personally led her team to dig a big hole on the island, and introduced seawater to put the iron shell into it.
Even offshore, as long as there is a small amount of water, the iron clam will not die.
Because there was no storage spirit ring, they did not dare to break it and return the iron shell. They had to wait until they returned to break it.
But that night, they still broke through a piece of iron shell.
What surprised everyone even more was that a good-looking sea pearl was mined from the first iron shell, which could be sold for at least two hundred taels of gold.
"What a good start!"
The wretched young man grinned while eating the meat of Haitiebei.
"Yeah, this operation went so smoothly!" Another team member also said.
Hearing this, the other team members nodded in agreement.
Only Li Wu, who was wearing a black robe, had a hint of sneer and disdain in his eyes.
Early next morning.
Song Yan woke up from the ship, washed up under the service of two maids, and then came to the deck.
For a moment, he missed Wei Le.
When he went to the front line, he left Wei Le with Xia Qian and learned some business things from her. Of course, the main reason was that Wei Le's cultivation was low and it would be of no use to him if he went to the front line.
Of course, the fact that he missed Wei Le was not because he fell in love with him, but because Wei Le was very good at serving people, unlike the two maids on the ship who were rough-handed and rough-footed.
"Sir, there is an island a hundred miles away. Do you want to go and have fun on it?"
At this moment, a middle-aged sailor walked up and said in a respectful tone.
Over the past few days, the cooks, sailors, and the group of warriors acting as guards all received a lot of rewards from Song Yan.
Therefore, their attitude became more and more attentive, always trying to find ways to please him.
Even a female warrior acting as a guard knocked on his door in the middle of the night and wanted to offer herself a pillow.
It's a pity that Song Yan is not the kind of person who is greedy for food. Not to mention, this female warrior is ambiguous with several other warriors. Secondly, the beauty of the other party is only average, so he refused without hesitation.
"OK!"
Song Yan thought for a while, then nodded.
The middle-aged sailor was overjoyed and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.
Half an hour later.
The ship approached the island where the middle-aged sailor was.
On the island, Ning Qiangwei and others looked wary when they saw the approaching ship.
"Captain, could this ship belong to another sea team? Do they also know that there are iron shells here?" A team member asked worriedly.
Ning Qiangwei's face was also a little gloomy, and she ordered in a deep voice: "You go first, pick up the iron clams in the pool and hide them on the shore, so as not to be discovered by the people coming!"
"yes!"
After everyone hid the sea iron shell, the boat finally approached the shore.
Then a group of people walked down from above.
Ning Qiangwei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw the person coming. Except for the handsome young man in the middle, the other twenty warriors were all from the Divine Sea realm, and some of them were ordinary sailors.
There is no threat to them at all.
"It's him!"
When the wretched young man saw Song Yan's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but let out a low cry.
"Weisuo, do you know him?"
Ning Qiangwei asked.
The wretched young man shook his head: "It's not really an acquaintance. Before we went to sea, I met him outside the dock. I wanted to recruit him into our team, but unfortunately he refused!"
"Since you have met him, go find out why he came to the island!" Ning Qiangwei said.
"good!"
The wretched young man nodded and strode towards Song Yan and the others.
