That day, the wind was nice and the sun was shining brightly, and it was time for deck bbq again.
Su Hao, Mo Xiaoxiao, He Tiantian and Su Nuan, three large and one small, were all sitting around the barbecue grill.
Su Hao held in his hand the scrap of paper he found at a street stall in Haicheng and studied it carefully.
Mo Xiaoxiao sat next to Su Hao, feeling as if there was a rat in his heart, scratching his heart and liver with worry.
She wanted to remind Su Hao: Dear, this fragment is not valuable. What is important is the map in the interlayer of the fragment.
However, every time the words came to her lips, Mo Xiaoxiao swallowed them back.
Because she couldn't explain why she knew this.
After all, even if the ancestor of her family who was invented by her knew many things about the world of immortality, it was impossible for her to know the secret of a fragment of the book in detail.
Mo Xiaoxiao felt that the relationship between him and Su Hao was not very close.
She didn't want to arouse the suspicion of Su Hao, the shrewd male protagonist, because of some details.
Alas, it's also strange. She obviously wants to follow the male protagonist, but he always treats her aloof and polite.
Unlike the vicious female partner next door who opposed Su Hao every day and almost made Su Hao angry from time to time, Mo Xiaoxiao felt that they seemed to be closer.
Mo Xiaoxiao seriously doubted that if a critical moment came, Su Hao could only choose to save one person between her and "Chu Baozhu", and Su Hao would definitely choose the latter.
"Mo Xiaoxiao, don't sit still, this long-necked giant crocodile is about to be scorched!"
"Turn it over quickly and sprinkle a handful of chili pepper and cumin on it!"
Just when Mo Xiaoxiao was looking at Su Hao and lost his mind, a willful female voice sounded in his ears.
Mo Xiaoxiao: ...I really think of myself as a eldest lady, calling me every day!
After hearing "Chu Baozhu's" order, Mo Xiaoxiao repelled it from the bottom of his heart.
but--
"Mo Xiaoxiao, have you forgotten your promise?"
"Tsk, I no longer ask you to serve me twelve hours a day. I only ask you to help with laundry and cooking, and you are just asking for help -"
He Tiantian was leaning on a couch covered with sea animal skins, with a lazy expression and a comfortable posture, but what he said was mean and careless.
"I hunted this long-necked giant crocodile!"
Mo Xiaoxiao didn't want to quarrel with "Chu Baozhu", but she couldn't help it every time.
This willful young lady only remembers her "charity" to others, but forgets that she has also been taking advantage of others.
When sea monsters and monsters attacked, the treasure ship was knocked around and swayed around. Only Su Hao and Mo Xiaoxiao resisted bravely.
"Chu Baozhu" was obviously a Qi practitioner, and he still had a lot of talismans and formation disks in his hands, but he was hiding behind them with Su Nuan.
After Mo Xiaoxiao and the others fought hard, even with shame on their faces and injuries on their bodies, they repelled the enemy. Miss Chu jumped out to grab the spoils.
The sea animal meat is not bad, "Chu Baozhu" took it away and cooked it for everyone to eat.
However, those animal blood, animal skins, animal teeth and other materials that can be used for cultivation were all put into her storage ring by Miss Chu.
Look at her posture, she has no intention of sharing it with others.
Why?
You don’t contribute any strength during the battle, but you come here to grab the spoils?!
However, Su Hao turned a blind eye to this kind of behavior.
The result of this disguised connivance is that "Chu Baozhu" becomes more and more unscrupulous!
Mo Xiaoxiao had been very angry for a long time, and today she was reminded by Miss Chu that she would be a maid, and she was a little bit ready to explode.
Snap!
Mo Xiaoxiao was preparing to have a big quarrel with He Tiantian, when suddenly something hit him head on.
Mo Xiao was startled, thinking that Miss Chu had lost her temper, so he picked up the things around him and hit her.
Mo Xiaoxiao was so angry that he raised his hand to knock the thing away.
As soon as my fingers touched that thing, I felt a little spiritual energy.
Mo Xiaoxiao grabbed the thing with his backhand and held it in his hand.
"Huh? This is-" a storage bag?
The appearance just doesn't look good, it's too rough, and the original material can be seen at a glance.
If Mo Xiaoxiao saw it correctly, this storage bag was made of the crocodile skin of the giant crocodile she killed this morning.
Mo Xiaoxiao was a little bit dumbfounded.
When she was in Haicheng, she followed Su Hao to the Two Worlds Commercial Bank and saw what serious storage bags looked like.
It's basically a small cloth bag, just like the purses used by ancient people.
It is estimated that in the world of cultivating immortals, there may be storage bags that are of better quality and better looking.
But the styles are basically the same.
It's nothing like the one she's holding in her hand. It's just like a primitive man making a pocket out of animal skins.
It's crude, crude, and looks like it's not up to standard!
"This is a storage bag I made from crocodile skin. The space inside is not very big, but it is about the size of half a cabin! Here you go!"
He Tiantian had a condescending tone of giving.
Of course, she also didn't forget to tell Mo Xiaoxiao, "Don't talk about those things all day long! Humph, who is this young lady? Could it be that I will take what you have for nothing?!"
"Not to mention, you are still in debt to me!"
"Peiyuan Pill, Qi and Blood Pill, those are all elixirs. In Haicheng, it's not like you didn't go to the Two Realms Trading Company for a stroll. You don't know the price of elixirs, right?"
He Tiantian rolled her eyes, with a look of disdain, as if to say: Mo Xiaoxiao, you have been greatly benefited, do you know?
But he still puts on an unwilling face all day long, does he really think he is a creditor?!
Mo Xiaoxiao:......
She instinctively wanted to refute——
Yes, the elixir is indeed valuable. But those animal blood, animal skins, and animal bones are also cultivation materials that can be exchanged for spiritual stones.
"Chu Baozhu" gave a few pills, but how much loot did she take away?
The long-necked giant crocodile that Mo Xiaoxiao killed today was as big as a dinosaur.
The animal skin, animal bones and that little demon pill... Even if Mo Xiaoxiao was not familiar with the world of immortality, he knew that the value of the body of this long-necked giant crocodile was not low.
Chu Baozhu took it away without saying a word.
The long-necked giant crocodile was just one of many trophies. During this period, as they went deep into the Infinite Sea, they hunted several sea beasts and monsters every day!
All these things went into Chu Baozhu’s pocket!
She, Mo Xiaoxiao, had at most eaten some animal meat, but no matter how much, it would be gone!
Uh, okay, I gave you a storage bag today.
But, the attitude of "Chu Baozhu" is so bad, as if she is a noble lady, and Mo Xiaoxiao is just a poor little person who is being given charity by her!
Mo Xiaoxiao can grovel in front of the male protagonist, but Chu Baozhu is just a vicious female supporting character. Why is she so crazy?!
"...Besides, Su Hao hasn't said anything yet, what are you talking about?"
He Tiantian added dissatisfiedly.
Mo Xiaoxiao:......
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.
Because Miss Chu was right, Su Hao not only "didn't say anything", he was simply conniving.
And the main team member who hunts monsters and sea beasts is Su Hao!
He is the soul of their team and the real boss.
If we must distribute according to work, most of the spoils should belong to Su Hao.
Su Hao acquiesced in "Chu Baozhu's" banditry, and Mo Xiaoxiao seemed not to care too much about it!
Mo Xiaoxiao was so angry, and felt even more inexplicably unwilling.
The crocodile leather storage bag in my hand seems to have lost its fragrance.
She turned her head and looked directly at Su Hao: "Brother Su——" You should say something.
Su Hao raised his head and said coldly to He Tiantian, "Chu Baozhu, return Miss Mo's prey to her!"
Mo Xiaoxiao's face instantly turned pale, but Su Hao did not scold "Chu Baozhu" for grabbing the spoils and taking advantage of the big guy.
Instead, let her return the prey that Mo Xiaoxiao killed to her!
This is definitely not helping to uphold justice. He, he clearly treats Mo Xiaoxiao as an outsider!
Why?
Why exactly?
Chu Baozhu is definitely not a kind person, and she is not that close or respectful to Su Hao.
Chu Baozhu didn't really want to be friends with the Su Hao siblings from the bottom of her heart, but Su Hao regarded her as one of his own?!
Mo Xiaoxiao was filled with anger.
"I don't want it! She still owes me a debt!"
"Besides, I didn't ask for her things in vain. Didn't I get her a storage bag?"
He Tiantian acted like a miser and refused to give it back.
Her willfulness this time actually gave Mo Xiaoxiao a step up.
Mo Xiaoxiao didn't want to be kicked out of the "squad" by Su Hao just because of a trophy.
She was unwilling, but she didn't show it on her face.
After laughing twice, Mo Xiaoxiao got off the slope and said unnaturally: "Forget it, I don't really want those things!"
"Well, the storage bag is also very good! I like it very much! What, I, I will turn it over!"
Mo Xiaoxiao put away the storage bag, stood up, and went to the barbecue grill to cook.
Stab!
The giant crocodile meat, which was half a foot (more than one meter) long, was turned over. The charcoal fire grilled the snow-white fresh fish to release the oil and make a slight sound.
Mo Xiaoxiao sprinkled a handful of barbecue ingredients, and the overwhelming aroma of cumin and chili instantly filled the deck.
The temptation of delicious food seemed to dispel the disharmony just now.
However, Mo Xiaoxiao knew that there was a thorn in her heart.
"Huh?"
Su Hao made a soft sound of surprise.
He held up the fragment and looked at it carefully into the sunlight.
"Brother, what's wrong? Did you find some treasure?"
Su Nuan's mouth was filled with oil. She couldn't help but feel curious when she saw that her brother was not eating, but was looking at a rotten and incomplete scroll.
"There may be a real treasure! There is an interlayer in the remaining scroll!"
When Su Hao bought this fragment, he had an inexplicable intuition.
When sailing on the sea, he spent most of his time practicing or driving a sea ship.
He only had a little leisure time while eating. He didn't want to argue with Chu Baozhu, and he didn't want to get involved in the little friction between Mo Xiaoxiao and Chu Baozhu, so he took the fragment and studied it.
The contents recorded on the fragment are not any exercises, nor are they secret recipes such as elixirs.
It's a training tool.
To be more precise, it should be a travelogue.
However, the scroll is in dilapidated condition and the text is severely mutilated.
Su Hao couldn't help but guess, and could only get a rough idea. He seemed to be a casual cultivator who was recording his life of cultivating at sea.
The exact area of the sea where I was and what kind of adventure I had, are all incomplete.
Therefore, the contents of this scroll are not of great value.
Su Hao was about to give up. Unintentionally, he fumbled with his fingers on the scroll and finally discovered something unusual.
After looking at the sun for a long time, Su Hao spread the scroll on the deck, pulled out a dagger made from sea animal bones, and swiped lightly——
"Oh, there really is something! Is it some secret book or secret recipe?"
He Tiantian pretended to be curious, holding a bowl of seafood soup, and came closer to take a look.
"Hey, what's the map? It's boring!"
He Tiantian curled her lips. As an arrogant young lady, she was the most impatient to study these complicated things.
She looked at it casually and found that she couldn't understand the abstract icons, so she simply left with the bowl again.
Su Nuan was He Tiantian's little follower. When he saw her leaving, he hurried to follow her.
Mo Xiaoxiao did not leave. She stayed by Su Hao's side, staring at the map with some curiosity.
Well!
To be honest, ancient maps are too abstract.
It is really difficult for people who are not talented or proficient in this way to see the mystery above.
In addition, Mo Xiaoxiao was familiar with the plot, so she knew what the map was, so she wasn't that concerned about it.
She just didn't want to miss any opportunity to get closer to Su Hao!
Su Hao frowned slightly.
Although he was paying attention to the map in his hand, he was also aware of the reactions of "Chu Baozhu", Mo Xiaoxiao and the others.
He Tiantian really didn't care, and her reaction was in line with the temperament and character of "Chu Baozhu".
Mo Xiaoxiao's reaction made Su Hao a little amused——
Her "don't care" seems to be mixed with a hint of "I know" confidence and pride.
Su Hao didn't know why Mo Xiaoxiao had such "clearness".
Su Hao didn't want to go into details. He just regarded Mo Xiaoxiao as a fellow traveler, or at most a cooperative partner.
Su Hao understands that his partners have secrets and are unwilling to be honest with each other.
After all, he didn't care about Mo Xiaoxiao, right?!
However, Mo Xiaoxiao's performance is always so contradictory.
She was clearly not interested, but she still acted curious, and tried to use this as an excuse to get involved in their relationship!
Su Hao would not be disgusted with this feeling, but would be even more wary of it.
He also did not forget the dispute that had just occurred over the spoils of war.
Chu Baozhu is indeed a little selfish, but she is not selfish to the extreme.
On the contrary, Mo Xiaoxiao always made Su Hao feel that she was targeting Chu Baozhu and that she was too pretentious.
Su Hao lowered his eyelids, hiding all his emotions, and continued to study the map.
In the evening, the sea was still calm.
The group of people were on the deck again, enjoying the sea breeze and eating seafood. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
Suddenly, the treasure ship shook violently.
"There is a monster!"
Su Hao had super strong six senses and was keenly aware of danger.
He dropped the giant iron plate squid tentacles in his hand, jumped up, and rushed directly to the deck.
At this time, the sea seemed to be boiling, and waves of various sizes were undulating violently.
"Down below! That monster is down there!"
The hairs all over Mo Xiaoxiao's body stood up.
Her intuition told her that the person coming this time must be a big guy, maybe a big boss-level existence!
Wow!
There was a huge splash, and a huge, ugly animal head emerged from the bottom of the sea.
The treasure ship was shaken this way and that by the momentum.
He Tiantian was so frightened that she screamed and completely forgot to add defense to the treasure ship...
