Also, didn’t you see the wounds on the corpse? They were all left by the spear gun, which shows that our weapons are still effective even against thousand-year-old sea soul beasts.”
The surrounding family members looked at the giant sea soul beast curiously, admiring the strength of the fleet.
The crew members on the ship enjoyed the cheers of their tribesmen, but even in this situation, they still maintained an upright posture.
They strictly obey orders from their superiors and are a well-trained team.
Quan Yue nodded in approval, and then immediately ordered: "Everyone, don't just stand there, go and fish out the body. We will have a big feast tonight."
"Yes!"
The tense crew members suddenly smiled and did their own things in an orderly manner.
Some people were organizing the equipment, some were cleaning the ships, and some were dealing with the bodies.
Quan Yue and Su Ling'er walked to Quan Li's side and said happily, "Fortunately, you have fulfilled your mission."
Quan Li looked at Quan Yue proudly, punched his chest hard, and said with a smile: "You are worthy of being my son."
The family chatted happily.
Su Linger began to report the harvest: "The sea soul beast we hunted this time weighs about 50 tons. Excluding the thick fat layer and bones, fur, internal organs and other parts, about 60% of it is edible.
The pickled meat can be preserved for about a year. In addition to supplying the crew and children of appropriate age, there will also be a large amount of surplus.
In addition, the remaining fat can be refined into oil, the bones can be used for forging, and the fur can be used to make various objects. The income from this soul beast alone is dozens of times the cost of sailing."
The soul beast's body is full of treasures. Even if the hide is penetrated by a cannon or gun, it can be simply processed into leather armor with good defensive power.
For sea soul masters, this leather armor made of sea soul beast skins is more practical than iron armor.
The Quan family has some knowledge of these technologies themselves, so there is no need to export them. After processing them themselves, they can sell them at a higher price.
After a rough calculation, Quan Li was delighted: "Not bad, not bad. According to the current trend, it will take less than a month to make up for the initial investment."
Because their ships were donated, their initial investment was limited to a very small part such as personnel training and weapons research and development.
The harvest from this time alone can offset a lot of it.
"Do you think it's so easy to encounter a 2,000-year-old soul beast?" Yun Qiong said unhappily. "Also, didn't I tell you to prioritize safety the first time and to start with a 100-year-old soul beast and slowly test it? Why did you pick on a 1,000-year-old soul beast right away?"
Yun Qiong's sharp eyes pierced Quan Yue. Based on her understanding of the two of them, she knew that Su Linger was by no means a reckless person, so she naturally cast a suspicious look at Quan Yue.
Quan Yue's heart tightened, and he hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean to do that. The reef area I was patrolling was occupied by this sea beast, and the weak sea beasts had already fled the area.
This is still the outer circle. There is an even more powerful aura in the inner circle. Although it has not reached the ten thousand year level, this area has become a gathering place for thousand-year soul beasts.
I also selected the most suitable soul beast based on our abilities."
Yunqiong and Quanli were quite surprised.
Quan Li said: "How could it be! Although the reef area is close to the edge of the shallow sea area, it shouldn't be a gathering place for thousand-year-old soul beasts, right?"
As the family's think tank, Yun Qiong thought for a moment and replied, "This may be related to the Spirit Hall's ban."
Su Linger replied: "Are you talking about the ban that prohibits soul masters from going out to sea?"
Yun Qiong nodded and continued, "Over the years, the number of soul masters going out to sea has decreased significantly, and the hunting of soul beasts has also decreased. It is normal for the edge of the shallow sea area to be occupied by powerful sea soul beasts."
Yun Qiong's face became solemn. The situation on the sea changed faster than she expected.
She said: "This change is good for our soul-hunting fleet, but it is bad news for the fishing boats that used to catch sea fish."
Quan Li comforted him, "Since we have proven that the fleet can hunt soul beasts, we can shift our focus to hunting sea soul beasts. For the rest of the ships, we can reduce the number of voyages and the distance they sail."
Yun Qiong nodded and said, "This is the only way."
At this time, there was a cry of surprise from the dock, and a seal almost the same size as a whale was hooked up by a hook and placed on a special cart.
Quan Li announced loudly: "Let's taste the flavor of this sea soul beast. Notice that everyone must be present at the banquet tonight. Everyone can have a share of this sea soul beast."
That night, the family banquet officially began.
Not far from the pier, there is a large building complex. Two years ago, this was a dilapidated riverside town, but now it has become a large town with thousands of people gathered.
This place has become one of the gathering places for the Quan family.
Under Yunqiong's manipulation, the Quan family reached some kind of agreement with the official and obtained the development rights of this area.
Hanhai City certainly holds the utmost respect towards families that own Soul Douluo. Moreover, they have definitely made a profit by exchanging the large saline-alkali land near the sea for favors from the Soul Douluo family.
That night, all the family members who could come came.
Everyone enjoyed eating the seal soul meat which had just died less than a day ago.
Although soul beast meat can be purchased with money, the meat of the poisonous-horned sea leopard this time was hunted by them independently. In this respect, it is of extraordinary significance.
This is extremely beneficial in increasing family cohesion and self-confidence.
After a dinner party, the family burst into strong vitality.
There are more than a hundred children of school age in the family.
There is a family school within the family that is specifically for educating children, where children of appropriate age will study and be cared for.
In addition to education, the school's biggest function is the same as a nursery, which is to take care of children of other working members of the tribe.
You have to know that most of the members of their Quan family do not have strong soul master talents. Therefore, even if the children awaken their martial souls, they cannot go to the Soul Master Academy to study.
Chapter 232 Xiaolin and Xiaoming
However, for children who have no talent for cultivation, there are no good academies in this world to impart knowledge to them.
In response to this situation, Yunqiong opened a school within the family to impart knowledge and skills to clan members.
Today is the second day of capturing soul beasts.
Early in the morning, the children, sitting in their seats, enthusiastically discussed the banquet last night.
"I don't know when I can taste soul beast meat again."
A chubby little boy couldn't help drooling as he recalled the taste of seal meat.
A thin boy at the side said, "Xiao Lin, haven't you heard? Starting today, the school will provide us with soul beast meat every noon."
"What! There is such a good thing. Xiao Ming, you are not lying to me, are you?" Fat Xiao Lin slammed the table and asked anxiously.
The skinny Xiao Ming nodded affirmatively and said, "My dad told me yesterday."
Xiao Lin knew that Xiao Ming's father was a crew member of the Soul Hunting Fleet and a person of relatively high status in the family. Since it was Xiao Ming's father who said it, it certainly couldn't be wrong.
He sat down again, swinging his legs excitedly, mentally looking forward to lunch time.
The children around me felt the same way.
After a while, the teacher of the class walked into the room.
Before the teacher stood on the podium, the fat Xiao Lin immediately raised his hand and asked, "Teacher, I heard that soul beast meat will be served at noon. I wonder if it is true?"
The teacher looked at the countless pairs of expectant eyes in the audience and replied with a smile: "It seems that the news spreads very quickly. That's right, starting from today, the school will provide soul beast meat for everyone at noon. Moreover, it is the soul beast meat of the 2,000-year-old poison-horned sea-devouring leopard captured yesterday."
"Wow!"
The audience was in an uproar.
Xiao Lin jumped up with excitement.
Seeing everyone so excited, the teacher raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a sly smile.
Said: "But don't be happy too soon."
Then, the teacher said loudly: "This soul beast meat is not given to you for free. I will give everyone a score based on the morning training course, and the soul beast meat that each person can be allocated will be strictly distributed according to the score."
"Ah~! How could this happen?"
Fat Xiaolin touched his plump flesh and said with a bitter face.
Xiao Ming at the side said with a smile: "I told you not to lose weight normally, now you are in trouble."
"Okay, everyone be quiet, and let the class begin now."
The courses for younger children are not very advanced, and usually explain interesting stories and anecdotes of Hanhai City.
Today, the teacher talked about the family's hunting of sea soul beasts. In this story, they focused on how the tribe members used their wisdom and bravery to defeat soul beasts that were stronger than themselves.
Although some secrets and details cannot be revealed, even the castrated version of the story makes their blood boil.
For non-soul masters, killing soul beasts has a profound impact on the mental growth of these children.
The entertaining and educational morning class ended and it was time for morning training.
The teachers and children came to a huge gymnasium together.
The gymnasium is a large swimming pool built by the family.
The long and wide swimming pool can easily accommodate hundreds of children.
The children changed into their swimsuits and met at the pool.
During the morning training time, they were going to practice swimming.
Living in Hanhai City, learning to swim can be said to be a necessary means of survival. What's more, for the Quan family who need to go out to sea to hunt, it is their responsibility to educate them from an early age.
The teacher held a wooden board with the children's tables on it.
He faced the children standing in a row and said, "From today on, I will evaluate your performance based on your swimming speed, distance, and time.
And, this score will be the weight you will be assigned. I hope you can take it seriously. "
After that, the teacher looked at the children with a deep gaze, and said to himself: "This is all I can say. I hope you can work hard."
This score is actually an indicator of the amount of exercise a child does.
Soul beast meat is a great tonic for children, and distributing it randomly is not good for children.
However, through scoring, we can not only encourage children's autonomy, but also assign appropriate weight.
It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
However, most children are still unclear about what this means and do not take it seriously.
At their age, they don’t actually have much knowledge and of course don’t know what this matter means.
Even if some children receive orders from their parents to behave well, they don't care too much.
This is all the teacher can do for this. After all, this is also part of the test, and the family’s resources are not unlimited. All they can provide is fairness in the rules.
"First group, step forward and start five round trips."
Five children came forward and stood at the water's edge.
As the teacher blew the whistle, five people jumped in, including the thin Xiao Ming.
Although Xiao Ming is thin, he is a good swimmer. Among the five children, Xiao Ming is the fastest. He reaches the other side when the other children have just swum halfway.
The teacher nodded with satisfaction, and then started drawing on the wooden board.
After five round trips, Xiao Ming stopped by the pool, panting, while other students were still making the fourth round trip.
Xiao Ming performed better today than usual.
Even his classmates who usually looked down on him were extremely surprised.
The teacher's eyes lit up, and he had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't show any special expression.
He just said sternly: "Xiao Ming, you can come up after swimming and prepare for the next group."
Xiao Ming climbed up and ran to the end of the line sensibly.
Xiao Lin, who was at the end, looked at Xiao Ming who was panting and teased: "I didn't expect that you also like soul beast meat. I never saw you so enthusiastic about eating. Why are you so enthusiastic when it comes to soul beast meat?"
Xiao understood it and whispered, "What do you know."
After a while, when his breathing became steady, he patted Xiaolin on the shoulder and said, "Remember, you must behave well later."
Xiao Lin was a little confused, but he still smiled and replied: "Of course, this is about soul beast meat, how can I not work hard."
All Xiaolin's mind was filled with the rich aroma of meat that remained in his mouth last night.
After a while, saliva started to flow from the corners of his mouth again.
Xiao Ming held his forehead helplessly.
After a while, it was Xiaolin's turn.
Xiao Lin was eager to try it out, and stood on the shore in a very professional manner, warming himself up.
