Today’s dinner is steamed glutinous rice dumplings, with stir-fried bean sprouts and stir-fried leeks as side dishes.
When Su Mo went fishing, Xia Mi was not idle either.
After walking around the inside and outside of the villa to make sure there was nothing unusual, she went up to the roof to make final inspections and take a look at the terrain.
After arriving at the rooftop of the building, Xia Mi finally understood what his employer meant when he mentioned that food could be eaten at will.
The rooftop of the building has actually been turned into a greenhouse!
Various flowers and vegetables are planted inside.
There is both ginger, onion and garlic.
Although many vegetables have not grown due to lack of care recently, and some have even withered, the leeks with the strongest vitality and the bean sprouts with the simplest cultivation conditions are full of vitality.
With these fruits and vegetables, the supply of vegetables will probably not be a problem these days.
It’s hard to eat all the leeks just by looking at them. After all, they can still grow even if they are cut.
As a carnivorous dragon, it was not Xia Mi's habit to just eat grass, so she did not call Su Mo back, and planned to use the fish caught by Su Mo as the main dish.
Fortunately, Su Mo didn't disappoint her either.
A catfish this big is enough for them to have a meal.
Dinner is over.
Xia Mi was lying on the sofa with salted fish, one hand behind his head and the other on his abdomen, looking thoughtful.
"You're saying that there might be creatures like water monsters hiding in the bay near here?"
"That's probably it."
Su Mo nodded while washing the dishes.
"Not to mention whether the last scene I saw was an illusion or not, just looking at the status of the fish protection, it is definitely not something that ordinary fish can do. Most fish do not have such sharp teeth, and it is impossible to move without being alarmed.
My case for cutting fish guard.”
It is not uncommon for huge bodies of water to breed huge fish.
However, most fish only have throat teeth, which are used to cut food that has entered the mouth.
Being able to bite off the fish guard without Su Mo noticing, instead of pulling it directly into the water, shows that this water monster has oral teeth, amazing bite force, and may even have a certain IQ.
It is cautious enough. If its mouth is the size of a fish guard, then it must be huge. It swims with such a large body without causing ripples, which means it floats slowly.
While Su Mo was fishing, this monster sneaked over, bit off Su Mo's fish guard, and let all the fish inside escape.
From a fish's point of view, it may be considered a knight, but from a fisherman's point of view, it is really unlucky.
After listening to Su Mo's speculation, Xia Mi looked strange.
"Let me ask you, these words of yours are really not lies because you feel embarrassed because you only caught one fish, are you?"
"..."
Although he had long expected the possibility of being questioned, Su Mo's face darkened after hearing this.
It’s hard to say how I should answer this, whether it’s yes or no.
This is still a fish I brought back. If I hadn’t brought it back, wouldn’t it be true that I had made it up?
Can't there be more trust between humans and dragons?
"Okay, okay, don't be angry, I know it's true, it's just a joke!"
Although he couldn't see Su Mo's expression, Xia Mi quickly made amends after sensing the wordless silence.
After she finished speaking, she thought for a few seconds.
"If the clues you gave are correct, then this so-called water monster is most likely a dragon blood subspecies."
A few fish, such as bass, have oral teeth. This is nothing. The problem lies in a certain level of IQ, which generally has nothing to do with dragon blood.
"I'm not angry, I just didn't know how to answer. As for the dragon blood subspecies..."
Hearing this inference, Su Mo nodded slightly, not surprised.
He also had this idea. After all, in this world, it would be strange for things like water monsters not to have a relationship with dragon blood.
"But why did the dragon blood subspecies bite my fish guard? They also have empathy for ordinary fish?"
He raised questions.
"Of course not. Would you feel empathy for a monkey?"
Xia Mi turned over and sat up, looking at Su Mo.
"Why do you think that monster is here to rescue the fish guard? It is obviously here to hunt. There are so many fish gathered in your fish guard, isn't it just a delicious food delivered to your door?"
"I've also thought about this possibility."
Su Mo shook his head.
"But if you just want to catch food, why would you bite off the fish guard silently? Wouldn't it be more convenient to just bite the fish guard off in one bite?"
After hearing this, Xia Mi asked quietly.
"If I bite it right away, how can I continue to accept food from you?"
"..."
Su Mo was startled for a moment, and then he realized that he had preconceived ideas.
He subconsciously thought that the fish guard was bitten off at the last moment, but in fact it was not the case. The huge monster had actually bitten off the fish guard long ago, ate up all the fish inside, and then opened its mouth and stood quietly at his feet. Waiting.
After that, every time Su Mo caught a fish, he didn't actually throw it into the fish guard, but directly into its mouth.
Thinking of a monster of this level crawling quietly under his feet for who knows how long, he couldn't help but feel chilled in his heart.
"What a thief guy!"
"This is a dragon!"
Xia Mi was not surprised.
"The reason why it chooses to act quietly is not only to get something for nothing, but also to hide itself. However, if it bites off the fish guard for unknown reasons, many people may not think of it as a monster, but will only think it is due to the quality of the product. Problem. Although the idea itself has many loopholes, it is obvious that this kind of IQ is not something that ordinary dragon blood subspecies can possess."
When she said this, her eyes lit up slightly.
"A monster of this level cannot appear alone. There must be an ecological circle behind it that gave birth to it, and there may even be remnants of dragon ruins!"
Thinking of a certain possibility, she immediately became excited.
Su Mo didn't expect that Xia Mi, who usually didn't look very smart, would be so smart when meeting dragons.
However, it stands to reason that the Bronze City has not been unearthed yet and should be buried under the rock formations. The location here is also a hundred kilometers away from Kuimen, so it should not be the same place.
"You look so excited, could it be that you want to dig a grave again?"
Seeing Xia Mi's excited eyes, Su Mo immediately guessed what she was thinking.
"What does digging a grave mean? It's really ugly to say."
Xia Mi rolled his eyes at him.
"Am I worried about those old friends who have no heirs to inherit their inheritance? And it's not all for you!"
Hearing this, Su Mo couldn't refute.
only--
"When you talk about inheriting an inheritance, do you mean you beat your old friend to death and then inherit it?"
he complained.
"Hey (?≧?≦)?!"
Xia Mi blinked and acted cute, trying to pass the test by being cute.
At this time, Su Mo had just finished washing the dishes.
Just as he was about to speak, he asked Xia Mi if he should deal with the dragon blood subspecies first, if he should deal with the task first.
"Woooooo~"
A sad sound like a crying baby or a woman sobbing sounded, and the wind enveloped the entire villa.
Under the night, the entire villa was surrounded by crying.
Eerie and quiet.
Su Mo and Xia Mi looked at each other.
The supernatural phenomenon of Midnight Echo has appeared!
