In the past three days, they have been tortured by seasickness. They vomited cleanly before they could digest the food. In order to prevent the vomit from soiling the deck, Qiao An simply stopped eating and switched to Tier 2. The psychic power "bigu" provides the energy necessary for survival.
On the morning of October 18th, the expedition ship came to a strange sea.
The swarm of seagulls that Qiao An sent out for investigation found that there were hundreds of islands in the sea ahead.
These islands are mostly concentrated on the east and west sides, with a relatively open strait in the center.
According to common sense, there are many hidden reefs around the archipelago, and it is best not to approach it easily. The strait is a relatively safe channel, and the Coral should go straight through the strait.
Captain Odysseus ordered the helmsman to adjust the bow. With the roar of the steam engine, the paddle wheels on both sides of the ship swelled, driving the expedition ship slowly into the strait.
Qiao An stood in front of the porthole, looking at the towering rock like a cliff on the right side of the strait, feeling a little uneasy.
At this time, there was a beating sound from outside the door, followed by the roar of a parrot.
"Open the door! Open the door!"
Qiao Ann opened the hatch and saw Dolly standing on the door handle.
The parrot skilfully jumped on Joan's shoulder and yelled into his ear: "The bridge! The bridge!"
Qiao An nodded knowingly, closed the door, and followed the gangway to the second floor.
In the hall, Hailar and Zion's sisters and brothers are all present, and Captain Odysseus, who is welcoming everyone to come to the party, is looking at the chart on the wall and sometimes smoking a pipe.
"Mr. Captain, what's the matter with us?" Hailar asked.
"Miss, I am worried that this unfamiliar sea is the legendary'Saddle Islands'."
Captain Odysseus furrowed his brows, holding his pipe and pointing to the chart.
Qiao An looked towards the sea area he had circled. The dotted islands were arranged on the east and west sides, with an open strait in the center. The overall view was in the shape of a saddle, which was very similar to what he saw from the sky when he controlled seagulls.
"Saddle Islands..."
Hailar muttered to himself, as if recalling something, suddenly his face changed.
"If this sea area is really the Saddle Islands, isn't our expedition ship sailing in the Banshee Channel at this moment?!"
"This is exactly what I worry about." Mr. Captain smiled wryly.
"Sister Caimi, what does'banshee strait' mean, is it dangerous?" Holden asked curiously.
Hailar nodded heavily.
"The strait itself has no hidden reefs lurking, so it can be passed safely, but on the islands on both sides of the strait, it is said that the harpy is inhabited. This half-eagle, half-human monster is evil in nature, and there is also a...well, it is very for men Unfriendly quirks."
Having said that, Hailar looked at Qiao'an and Holden intently.
"If you are referring to the breeding habits of the harpy, it's not a quirk."
Qiao An simply announced the details of Hailar's embarrassment.
"The Harpy species has no male individuals and does not have the ability to reproduce parthenogenesis. It must mate with male humanoids to lay eggs and give birth. The offspring that hatched are still Harpy. The gene of the male line is usually recessive. There is a way of blood, and you can’t tell from the outside that it’s a mixed race."
"In order to obtain males for breeding, the harpy often patrols around the island where it lives. If it sees a ship, it will attack, kidnap the male passengers and sailors on the ship, and them to the island, forcing the captives to follow themselves. Mate with the tribesmen in turn, until the other party is tortured to death, discarded at will like scrapped tools, or simply eaten the male spouse that has lost its use value."
In the end, Qiao An concluded from the standpoint of a scholar: "Harpy's'marriage grabbing' and forced mating behavior are indeed very barbarous, but they are also necessary means for this race to thrive.
"I don't think so!" Holden strongly objected. "If the harpy needs a spouse, why not try to interact with men in a normal way. A happy combination of love is always more civilized than kidnapping and rape? "
"That's right, but the level of intelligence of the Harpy race is about the same as that of the ogres. They cannot be expected to fall in love like ladies. Moreover, a happy combination of love means monogamy and long-term relationship. , This method of reproduction is too inefficient..."
Perceiving the sharp gaze projected from Hailar and Audrey, Qiao An scratched his head and quickly added another sentence.
"Of course, we humans are not only in love and marriage for the purpose of breeding offspring, but the savage harpy does not understand these principles."
Audrey crossed her arms and chuckled, gloating at the corners of her eyebrows.
"Hailar and I are women, and the harpy looks down on us. Even if it is dangerous, it is a trouble for you men."
Hailar stroked the ponytail lightly, his expression was a bit tangled, and finally he had to tell the truth.
"Audrey, you haven't dealt with the Harpy. You probably don't know that the most hateful and hateful of these psychopaths is human women."
"A man falls into their hands, no matter how miserable they are, they can be a romantic ghost, but if a woman falls into their hands, one of them counts as one, and none of them can escape torture. Disfigurement and skinning are all routine operations. Women who have been tortured to death. , Even the corpse cannot be preserved, and it will eventually be torn apart and eaten by the harpies."
"Harpy likes to eat women with hot bodies and beautiful faces. Well, that's you!"
"It is said that the harpy has a mystical belief that what you eat can make up for it. If you eat a and beautiful woman, you can become more and beautiful."
Audrey's smile froze on her face, and sighed: "Why do women bother women..."
"Sister Caimi, although I haven't seen a living harpy, I still have some understanding of this kind of monster." Holden stroked his chin and said, "It is said that the harpy and our bard have the same thing. A little bit of origin, born to be good at singing'Ecstasy', people who are not determined enough to hear their singing will be overwhelmed and walk straight towards them, willingly acting as captives of the harpy. In addition to this supernatural ability, Harpy has no other powerful tricks. As long as we are more careful, it should not be difficult to get rid of their harassment."
"Mr. Holden, your description of the harpy is really good, but unfortunately you did not consider a key factor." Captain Odysseus has a heavy face, "You know, the harpy on the islands on both sides of the strait , What is the approximate number?"
"Uh, I guess... one or two hundred?" Mr. Poet said as far as possible.
"One or two hundred?" Captain Odysseus shook his head and said in a deep voice, "It's a pity that you missed an order of magnitude!"
