As the sun set, the campfires blazed brightly in the migrating caravan's camp, and everyone was filled with laughter and joy.
Each bonfire was surrounded by a dozen or so people, with various seafood grilled above it.
"Tsk...this giant whale is really something, bringing so much delicious food!"
Bai Jue took a big bite of the grilled squid tentacles and muttered something.
The squid tentacles she ate were of the third rank.
Now, Tier 3 evolved meat is no longer so precious to migrating caravans.
Each fishing rod, before its durability runs out, can catch at least one third-tier evolved creature and many second-tier evolved creatures.
Of course, Yichen's is an exception.
Third-order evolved creatures are mostly quite large, ranging from about one ton to more than ten or twenty tons.
Therefore, the third-tier evolved meat they have harvested is now more than the Cangnian family can consume.
Therefore, when Cangnian distributes third-tier prey, it is no longer as stingy as before, only giving third-tier evolvers enough to eat.
The allocation to human evolvers is enough to not only meet the needs of all third-tier evolvers, but also to feed a considerable number of second-tier evolvers.
In addition, the Black King Snake, which could only scavenge the skeletons of third-tier prey, can now also eat meat.
With hundreds of tons of Tier 3 evolved meat coming in every day, that's how extravagant it is!
As for the gains from other first and second-tier levels, there are naturally even more.
However, the migrating groups already faced significant food shortages.
After all, there are millions of people, although not all of them are strong, healthy, and have large appetites as adult men.
However, on average, more than half a kilogram of food needs to be consumed per day.
If you calculate it, a million people would consume hundreds of tons of food per day.
At the start of their journey, the people of both cities carried food as their main burden, and through occasional group hunting, they managed to reach the border.
When they left the border, they not only took a lot of weapons and ammunition, but also a batch of transport vehicles loaded with reserve grain.
Although the stored grain was all old rice and flour and didn't taste good, it was still very good for the migrant people who hadn't had staple food for a long time.
Now, the food pressure is completely gone.
Just by fishing and hunting, dozens of fishing rods can be used continuously, and thousands of evolved animals can be caught in a single day.
Small evolved animals can weigh tens of kilograms each, while large evolved animals can weigh several tons each. This means that hundreds of tons of prey can be hunted, enough to satisfy the daily needs of millions of people.
In addition, although half of what is caught by fishing rods is marine debris, the other half contains not only meat but also plants.
Edible seafood such as kelp, nori, wakame, and sea lettuce.
While not as plentiful as meat, a single catch can yield a large quantity, weighing several hundred kilograms, totaling over a hundred tons.
In addition, the food for the migrating caravan was not entirely consumed by just a few dozen third-tier evolved beings.
Ordinary people, as well as other evolved beings, also look for stranded and sandy marine creatures on the beach.
If they see something small, ordinary people will try to grab it; if they see something large, they will immediately seek help from the evolved beings to avoid getting hurt if they try to grab it themselves.
Although the seawater is cold, most people can spend half an hour on the beach and collect a lot of edible things.
Basically, a person who isn't lazy can meet their daily food needs and achieve self-sufficiency by picking food a few times a day.
However, compared to the effort everyone put in to get just a little food, the whale's bounty was far too easy to obtain.
Cang Nian observed that although this big guy looks bulky, it can easily exceed 100 kilometers per hour in a medium with high resistance such as seawater.
With a flick of its tail, it can reach deep-sea areas far from the continental shelf, and then keenly sense and find large schools of fish on the seabed.
Next, it opens its mouth and swims over, its funnel-shaped mouth able to scoop up hundreds of fish, shrimp, crabs, and snails from the seawater.
Then, the seawater in the mouth is expelled through the folds of the chin, and a single gulp can consume tens of tons of food.
Instead of swallowing the food, it carries it ashore and sprays it onto humans, solving the food problem for tens of thousands of people at once.
Cang Nian estimates that its behavior may be due to seeing humans spending all day on the coast hunting with various tools, and many people picking things up on the beach.
Therefore, the clever whale realized that what humans wanted was food, so it provided humans with a huge amount of food, and humans were happy and liked it!
And its line of thinking is indeed correct.
Faced with such a huge creature, Cangnian felt that it was friendly and had no ill intentions, so he ignored it and focused on hunting.
Even if this giant suddenly goes berserk and launches an attack, with Cang Nian's strength, he will not be in any danger of death in the event of an emergency.
But for ordinary people, such a huge object is too oppressive. Even if it looks friendly and harmless, they are still instinctively afraid.
However, with this further friendly exchange, the people in the migrating group were no longer so afraid of this enormous and terrifying creature.
Although there is no common language and communication is not possible without obstacles, sincere and pure friendship can be shown in every little action.
With the example of the Black King Serpent, people's acceptance of giant evolved creatures has increased significantly, and the acceptance process has become much faster.
Even the most daring Bai Jue jumped onto the back of the giant whale and played on its back like a slide when it came ashore.
This made the whale even happier, and it had a great time.
However, it also knew that humans needed to sleep at night, so it said goodbye to everyone when the sun set, left the near-shore area, and went to sleep in a wider place.
In response, Cang Nian felt that the research conducted by those biologists before the revival of spiritual energy might have been correct.
Humans may have truly adopted the aesthetic preferences of whales; whales see humans just as humans see cute cats and dogs.
Alternatively, it's possible that humans helping whales clean barnacles has long been a consensus among whales, making them naturally friendly towards humans.
In short, it's a good thing that this giant whale now has a friendly and close relationship with the migrating caravan.
"If you ask me, shouldn't I be half responsible for the giant whale bringing us food?"
I caught this big guy; I put aside my fishing gear just to make it happy.
"Rounding it up, does that mean I caught all those hundreds of tons of fish?"
Cangnian was relieved that he hadn't clashed with the giant whale, while Yichen, having barely even drunk any alcohol, was already spouting nonsense after just eating meat.
"Brother Chen, stop flattering yourself."
It makes it sound like you can catch fish if you don't play with this big guy.
Besides, if we're talking about who got the credit, how would you have attracted it without my fishing rod?
You deserve at most 25% credit!
Bai Jue sneered from the side.
