Penguin Logistics is indeed the world's top intelligence organization, however, when Vina calls the Emperor, she is rejected.

The reason given by the emperor is very professional, so professional that he does not talk about a trace of human affection.

According to the purpose of Penguin Logistics, as long as the cooperative relationship with the customer is reached, it will never sell any information of the customer, including but not limited to assets, force, personnel, whereabouts and so on.

Of course, it sounds like a lot of credibility, but in fact, the emperor is also pretending to be professional.

There are so many countries and regions in the whole world of Terra, Colombia, Bolivar, Rem Billiton, Kazdale, Victoria, Letania, Casimir, Syracuse, Minos, Vaivan Alliance, Lateran, Sargon, Sherag, Sammy, Ursaus, Yanguo, Longmen, Dongguo.

Trying to find a very low-key person from so many countries with different national conditions, different cultures, and different scientific and technological backgrounds is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Even professional messengers with penguins all over the world can hardly be guaranteed to find them.

....

....

Dongguo, the south coast of Nishikawa.

The wind and the sun are beautiful, and the waves are playing.

Xia Feng didn't know anything about what happened to Victoria, and what he was most concerned about at the moment was whether the creature peeking out of the sand in front of him was his meow's sandworm.

"Feng Bao, dig this thing out quickly, don't let it run away!"

"Wang!"

The autumn wolf, a creature standing at the top of the food chain, is naturally fearless, only to see Feng Bao cocking his tail and pouting his big buttocks, and he is slashing at the sand pit, and the efficiency is comparable to that of an excavator.

Originally, this suspected sandworm creature had re-entered the ground when it saw that the situation was not good, but within a moment, it was pulled out by the three-foot digging Fengbao with his mouth.

....

Minamino Village, Sota's home.

Uncle Minamino frowned and looked at the dying strange creature placed in the center of the living room for a long time.

In the end, as a veteran navigator, he gave a professional judgment.

"That's right, it's a sandworm."

received an affirmative answer, Xia Feng's face was overjoyed.

"Great!"

The sand worm is about half a meter long and covered with a hard carapace with yellow and blue patterns on the carapace, which looks like a mutated lobster.

However, although sandworms and lobsters both have carapaces, they are still very different when you look closely, and the biggest difference is the "feet".

Lobsters have large chela, as well as several pairs of very small feet, but the sandworm's feet are four pairs of regular symmetry, without chelae.

The sandworm's feet are very strong, the total weight even exceeds the body, and the sandworm has a stubby tentacle on its head, which is said to glow at night.

In addition, the biggest difference between sandworms and other seafood is their body size.

Uncle Minamino said that the sandworm he caught was only a larvae, and if it was an adult, it was estimated that it would be close to one meter in length, and the flesh quality was incomparable to that of lobsters and crabs.

The sandworm is no stranger to Xia Feng, once in Victoria, he is also a "high-class" person who eats all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and the sandworm is also Ifrit's favorite.

It's just that although he had eaten charcoal-grilled sandworm legs at that time, he had never seen a live sandworm, because sandworms were too rare.

The value of sandworms is very expensive, almost to the point that there is no market, which is a fact known to the wealthy nobles of Victoria in the past.

...

Wild sandworms are very rare, and Xia Feng expressed sympathy for the misfortune of this sandworm, and then wiped the tears flowing from the corners of his mouth and said.

"It's actually a live sandworm, this time you can pick up a big bargain, I heard that this thing has super high nutritional value, I'll take it back and give it to the bagpipes to taste."

With that, he looked at Minamino Shimoda again.

"Uncle Nanye, you have a share, why don't you cut it open, and you leave half of it for the night to roast and eat?"

Xia Feng is not surnamed Nanye, and naturally he is not from Nanye Village, so the one-month sea closure order announced by the village chief has no effect on him.

Of course, for the villagers, the so-called closure of the sea is just that the seafood can still be eaten without fishing.

However, in the face of Xia Feng's proposal to divide the meeting in half, Uncle Nanye hesitated.

"Kazetaro, this kind of thing, I advise you not to eat it."

"Huh? Why don't you eat it? ”

"This thing ......"

"Is it poisonous? No, I've eaten in Victoria before. ”

Uncle Minamino shook his head.

"No, the sandworm meat is not poisonous, it's just that this kind of thing is more evil on our coast."

......

Subsequently, Minamino Shimoda specifically explained to him what the so-called "evil gate" meant.

To be honest, if Xia Feng hadn't believed Uncle Nanye's character, he would have thought that this old guy was making up stories to deceive him, and deliberately wanted him to give up this sandworm so that he could stay and drink.

According to Minamino Shimoda, sand worms are rare even in the eastern country, which is surrounded by the sea.

How rare is it, let's put it this way, except for the villages around the south coast of Xichuan, the inland people have hardly seen it, let alone eaten it.

That's right, the sandworm is a creature that only inhabits the south coast of Xichuan, an island very close to the coastline to be exact.

...

A hundred years ago, the ancestors of the villagers of Nanno Village, like him, stumbled upon sandworms in the sand on the edge of the coast, and then searched the vicinity.

Sadly, there is no one of its kind other than that one.

After a few more years, the villagers continued to catch individual sandworms on the beach, until finally they realized that these sandworms were all females and had come to lay eggs on the beach.

This method of reproduction is somewhat similar to that of sea turtles, except that the estrus and egg-laying periods of sandworms are different, and there is no exact time and no uniformity.

This method is obviously more advanced, and can choose the time of mating and laying eggs independently, which many marine organisms cannot do.

Laying eggs in the sand of the coast rather than in the sea is supposed to avoid the eggs being eaten by predators before hatching.

However, after investigation, there is a deeper meaning in this.

....

Because the sandworms were so fragrant, after a joint search by the villagers of Nanno Village at that time, they finally found an isolated island less than 2 kilometers from the coast.

The island is too small to have any natural resources, so it has been ignored by the villagers who went to sea before, but it was only after they got close to the island that the villagers found out.

It turns out that this island is the base camp of sandworms!

Seeing the sandworms on the island, the villagers drooled excitedly, and if they completely conquered the island, then the descendants of Nanno Village would have an inexhaustible supply of sandworm meat to eat in the future.

However, just as the villagers approached the island and prepared to disembark, a huge black shadow emerged from the sea without warning.

Then, the huge waves set off by the black shadow mercilessly engulfed the villagers' boats.
