Zhang Tie was no stranger to fish markets.
Back on Hidden Dragon Island, he had often browsed fish markets. In You Province, he had visited them as well. Fish markets near the docks were ideal places for releasing animals. There was a wide variety of goods here, the prices were cheap, and being close to the sea made releases convenient. If he had enough creatures to release, he could even hire a boat nearby and take them out to sea, without drawing attention. Everything was ready-made.
Compared with releasing marine creatures, releasing other land animals was far less convenient.
For instance, it was not difficult to buy chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, and the like. But buying them and then releasing them into the wild became a difficult matter.
First, the wild environment might not suit those animals' survival. Second, even if he found somewhere suitable for them to live, transportation would be a major problem. Third, even if he found such a place and solved the transportation issue regardless of cost, once he released enough animals, that place would naturally draw people to capture them, and that was hard to prevent. If he wanted to eliminate such things entirely, he would first have to buy a sufficiently large tract of land, then organize enough people specifically to look after those released animals.
