Chapter 343 Harvest from Going to Sea
Lorne didn't know the answers to either of these questions.

Because the merfolk have never used ballistae or catapults—these things are impractical underwater, and the merfolk simply don't have any technology in that area.

“Then we can give it a try,” Qin Ziwen said immediately.

"I've run out of magic. I need to rest for half a day." Lorne said somewhat awkwardly.

It was for this reason that it waited until Qin Ziwen arrived before enchanting itself.

Qin Ziwen's expression shifted slightly. After breaking through to the extraordinary realm, he sensed a faint warm current within his body. Based on his years of experience reading novels, he figured it must be the so-called magic power it had mentioned.

However, due to the limitations of his abilities, he has never had a suitable outlet for this magic.

"It's okay, you can try again once you've recovered."

In the evening, Qin Ziwen brought Lorne to the node in the homeland. The Nostalgia ship passed through the node and returned to the homeland, docking at the temporary dock of the shipyard.

The deck was filled with busy boatmen, who, with the help of a nearby "crane," worked together to drag the prey off the ship.

"President!" Zhang Chongshan ran off the boat with a smile on his face. "I was lucky today and caught a big fish. Here it is."

"Let me see." Qin Ziwen's gaze shifted to the prey.

A soft "hmm" was heard.

He discovered that the fish had a spindle-shaped appearance similar to a shark, but its entire body was covered with a thick shell, making it look extremely sturdy.

The most amazing thing is that its open upper and lower jaws have no teeth, but rather bone plates like guillotines. From its appearance, it looks like a heavy sea warrior.

This Dunkleosteus is about seven or eight meters long.

Zhang Chongshan said with a smile, "I heard from the people on the boat that this thing is called something like the Deng fish."

"Dunkleosteus"

Qin Ziwen corrected him, saying that he had just used his insight to confirm that the fish was indeed Dunkleosteus, a species that had become extinct on Earth.

"Oh, that seems to be it." Zhang Chongshan laughed, thinking they all sounded pretty much the same.

Qin Ziwen was quite satisfied that Zhang Chongshan and his group were able to hunt Dunkleosteus on their own.

Without any other extraordinary assistance, the fact that the Nostalgia could hunt such a large sea monster on its own was, in his view, a step forward.

This means that the Sixiang is now capable of standing on its own and has become a solid piece of the Qin Alliance's naval power.

"Have the crew come down in a bit, I'll have Lorne verify something." Qin Ziwen briefly explained Lorne's abilities.

Zhang Chongshan's eyes lit up after hearing this. "It can make the boat run faster?"
This is a good thing!
As long as the boat is fast enough, there's no need to worry about being caught by underwater sea monsters, and you can kite them indefinitely.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chongshan turned to look at Luo En, who was sitting next to Chairman Wen, put his hands together, and wished him success: "Brother Luo, you must succeed."

Lorne, who wasn't used to sitting on the bench and was fidgeting around, paused for a moment after hearing these words, then said apologetically, "I'll try my best."

The crew members quickly disembarked. Lorne, who had regained his magic, came to the side of the ship, rubbed his hands together, and then covered the ship with them.

The scene, exactly the same as the one underwater, appeared.

This time, however, the blue light patterns only covered about one-third of the ship before stopping.

Lorne's hands trembled slightly until the light faded, at which point it plopped down on the ground.

"Are you alright?" Qin Ziwen helped it up.

Judging from this, it seems to have failed. Perhaps the ship was too big, but failure is no big deal. It was within his acceptable range anyway, and he had prepared for failure before the operation.

Lorne was dejected. "Leader, I've run out of magic. I'll probably need to enchant twice more to succeed."

Qin Ziwen's words of comfort stuck in his throat. He had thought he had failed, but he hadn't expected to succeed. It was just that the enchanting process was divided into three stages.

"Besides natural regeneration, are there any other ways to quickly restore magic power?" Lorne asked. "There are some treasures that can help restore magic power, and there are also some buildings that can."

Qin Ziwen paused for a moment, mainly because there were no such buildings or treasures in his home.

It seems that there is still a long way to go for our homeland.

Lorne said proactively, "Chief, it's alright. As long as I'm in the water, my recovery speed is very fast, and half a day will pass quickly."

That evening, while Lorne was still recovering his magic, Mogu, who had gone hunting at sea with the merfolk, returned home.

He carried a glowing giant clam shell on each shoulder, while the fishmen behind him worked together to carry a giant oarfish. This oarfish was twelve meters long, with red fins on its back and scales that shimmered with blue light.

In addition, some fishmen were carrying millstone-sized crabs and half-meter-long lobsters on their backs, stepping on wet footprints, looking jubilant as if they had won a battle.

"Master, we have hunted three extraordinary creatures." Mogu put down the two giant clam shells on his shoulders.

He broke open the giant clam shell and took out two Tears of the Sea.

These two Sea Tears, like the ones we've acquired before, are both level-one rare items.

Qin Ziwen's gaze fell on the ribbonfish behind him.

【Exceptional Crown Ribbonfish: ☆☆☆☆★】: Level 1 Turbulent Waters

He silently did some calculations in his mind.

Giant Rock Dragon, Silver Thread Snake, Black Nest Sea Urchin, Glowing Giant Clam, Crown Ribbonfish, Silver Bobbit Worm, Skull Spider, Spirit Sheath Jellyfish.

These are the eight different types of extraordinary beings.

Of course, the skull spider is currently buried under the Blood Sand Arena and has probably been turned into a spider cake by now. To dig it out, we'll have to wait another week until the arena is moved.

"You've worked hard. How did they do?" Qin Ziwen pointed to the fishmen who had gone into the sea with Mogu.

"He can endure hardship," Mogu accurately commented.

"As long as you can endure hardship, you'll have endless food and blessings." Qin Ziwen almost slipped up.

As the saying goes, "where you sit determines where you look." Now that he's in a different position, his perspective is naturally different, and his focus on things is also different.

Qin Ziwen asked, "Are there many extraordinary sea creatures in the ocean?"

Mogu said, "Not many, but there are some. Most extraordinary beings are actually not as good as mosasaurs; they just got lucky and reverted to their ancestral form, or mutated after eating treasures."

Qin Ziwen seemed to be deep in thought; he was actually aware of this.

Just like when facing the Mosasaurus at sea, although there were many extraordinary beings on board, they were still somewhat powerless against such a behemoth and could only rely on the tools they had developed to hunt it down.

"Mogu, when you go into the sea again, try to hunt as many different kinds of sea beasts as possible, and also rare items, which are also very important. Your main purpose in going into the sea is to hunt extraordinary sea beasts and obtain rare items. As for everything else, it's secondary. There are special fishing boats for catching food."

“Yes.” Mogu nodded in response.

The carcasses of the crown ribbonfish and the giant clam were sorted and stored in a cold storage warehouse.

Other common seafood was taken to the kitchen and cooked as a late-night snack.

Before long, the air was filled with a delicious aroma.

The biggest change for these fishmen upon arriving at their home was that they ate cooked food for the first time.

People who are used to eating raw fish immediately fell in love with cooked food after being introduced to it.

Although volcanoes occasionally erupt on the seabed, which may "cook" some fish, the seawater is too cold for cooked fish to cool down quickly. Moreover, volcanic eruptions contain toxic substances, so the carcasses are generally inedible.

Therefore, fragrant, hot cooked fish is a wonderful experience for them.
