Chapter 32 The Island Spirit’s Repayment (please follow up)
While one person and one animal were happily eating grilled fish, Chen Mo's ears suddenly heard the sound of rolling waves, followed by a long whale call.
"Woo——" (Friend!)
After bidding farewell to Chen Mo, the island spirit did not leave, but chose to wander in the nearby sea.
When he saw the fire on the shore, he swam over and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was Chen Mo.
"Want some?"
Chen Mo shook the grilled fish in his hand.
"Woo!" (I want to eat!)
The island spirit blinked, it had already smelled the aroma of grilled fish.
Chen Mo walked to the beach and threw the golden and crispy grilled fish into the mouth of the lonely island spirit.
Swallow the island spirit in one gulp.
"Woo?" (No more???)
"It seems like there's a little missing?"
The portion of this grilled fish is not enough for an island spirit to fill his teeth.
"Woo——" (Friend, please wait for me!)
After letting out a whale cry, the spirit of the isolated island suddenly dived into the water and disappeared in an instant.
Although this big guy is huge, it is extremely agile in the water.
"gone?"
After almost half an hour, there was no further movement from the sea.
Just when Chen Mo thought the island spirit had left, the sound of rolling waves came to his ears again.
Under the reflection of the orange bonfire, the dark shadow of the lonely island spirit in the distance could be vaguely seen. The water around it surged, and then a huge creature was thrown to the shore by the water waves.
This was a huge scarlet octopus. Chen Mo also defeated a similar one in the afternoon.
But the scarlet octopus in front of me was much bigger! The tentacles of this scarlet octopus alone were 7 or 8 meters long, and its growth level should have been close to the leadership level, but it was easily killed by the island spirit.
The island spirit blinked its eyes as blue as the sea again.
"Friend, do you want me to grill octopus for you?"
Chen Mo asked with a smile.
"Woo——"
The island spirit nodded and hummed happily.
"No problem, but my grill can only hold half of this octopus's tentacles. You have to wait for a while."
The octopus is so big that it cannot fit on a barbecue grill.
"Woo——" (It doesn't matter~)
"Chirp!"
The Blazing Fox skillfully cut the octopus with its claws and dug out a dark blue crystal core in the center of its head.
This is the "organ" where the scarlet octopus stores water spiritual power. After special processing, it can automatically absorb the water spiritual power in the air, so that spiritual beasts with corresponding attributes can quickly replenish their spiritual power when they are exhausted.
"This is the water crystal core of an extraordinary ninth-level spiritual beast."
He Siyao on the side said.
"The market price of such a crystal core is about 300,000 yuan."
After hearing this, Chen Mo silently accepted the water crystal core.
Ahem, just think of it as food processing fees!
"But grilling octopus like this is a bit of a waste."
Chen Mo regretted that he was not a Yuling chef, otherwise the ingredients in front of him could have made high-quality delicacies.
But there is a saying that says——
Often the most high-end ingredients only require the simplest cooking methods.
Brush oil on both sides and grill evenly until golden brown, then sprinkle cumin and pepper on each octopus tentacle, it's delicious enough.
Chen Mo, Xiaojiu, and He Siyao shared half of the tentacle. Even so, both of them were already very full.
Chen Mo felt warm and comfortable inside his body.
The nutritional value of extraordinary-level scarlet octopus is very high. If you continue to eat it, it can slightly enhance your physical fitness. This change is especially obvious for spiritual beasts.
Chen Mo packed up half of the tentacles, and the remaining seven tentacles were grilled and thrown to the island spirit.
"Woo——" (This is too delicious!)
After the island spirit ate the scarlet octopus, it hummed with satisfaction, and the star pattern under its belly emitted a magnificent light, like the stars in the sky.
This is the behavior of the island spirit when it is extremely happy.
It has never eaten such delicious food. This human's craftsmanship is really amazing!
After eating, the island spirit dived into the water and prepared to hunt a big guy nearby.
"Wait a minute, friend! I didn't bring enough cumin powder and chili powder this time, so I won't be able to grill large creatures. Maybe next time!"
Seeing that the island spirit was about to set off again, Chen Mo, who noticed their intentions, said quickly.
This big octopus alone consumed all his seasoning.
"Woo~"
The island spirit nodded.
"Big guy, my name is Chen Mo. You can call me by my name from now on. Of course, it doesn't matter if you continue to call me friend. By the way, do you have a name?"
After eating and drinking, Chen Mo was ready to talk about life with the island spirit.
"Woo——" (My name is Xinghai...)
It seemed that it was the first time he had found someone to talk to, so Xinghai told Chen Mo one by one about his past experiences.
It originally lived with its parents and tribe in the depths of the Whirlpool Sea, in an inaccessible place.
Because the frequency of its voice was different from that of ordinary whales since it was a child, its parents and tribesmen could not hear what it said, and they thought the child was born stupid!
Although I have been taking care of it in life, I have neglected to take care of it emotionally.
No one heard Xinghai when she sang, and no one paid attention to her when she was sad.
So on a dark and windy night, it left the group alone, trying to find someone who could feel the frequency of its voice.
Listening to Xinghai telling his past events, Chen Mo felt a little emotional.
With the world people.
He, Xiaojiu, and the island spirit in front of him can all form an "orphan trio".
"Cheers to our friendship!"
"Chirp!"
"Woo——"
Chen Mo and Blazing Fox clinked glasses, while the Lonely Island Spirit took a symbolic sip of sea water.
At this moment, the two bright moons above our heads echo each other, the bonfire on the seaside emits orange light, the faint sound of whale calls and the rustling sea breeze are quite artistic.
Of course, this is not very friendly to other practitioners on the island.
It's so late at night, and you can't let anyone sleep when you hear such a permeating sound!?
"Woo——" (Friend, do you want to go for a swim in the sea?)
The blue eyes of the lonely island spirit looked at Chen Mo, with an unspeakable emotion hidden in them.
"Sorry, I can't leave this island for the time being."
Chen Mo felt a little pity.
The experience stipulates that you cannot leave the island. Once you leave, you will be deemed to be eliminated. Otherwise, Chen Mo really wants to experience what it feels like to ride on the spirit of the isolated island.
"Woo——"
I don’t know how long we chatted, but only the remaining flames of the campfire were left, which flickered for a while and then completely extinguished.
The night is already dark.
"I'm going back to rest, see you tomorrow!"
"Chirp!" (Goodbye, big guys!)
"Woo——"
The figure of the lonely island spirit slowly submerged into the ocean and gradually disappeared.
The next day, Chen Mo took He Siyao to clear out the bosses in the southwest and central areas.
After cleaning up, their points were already several times that of the third place, making it difficult for others to surpass them.
In the evening, Chen Mo heard the familiar sound of whales again at the beach.
The spirit of the isolated island arrived as expected and brought another gift to Chen Mo. It was a colorful conch that could make a clear and melodious sound.
This kind of conch sound can travel very far. As long as it is blown in the nearby sea area of 100 kilometers, the spirit of the isolated island can hear it.
Xinghai told Chen Mo that as long as the conch is blown, it will appear.
Then, one person, one whale and one fox chatted about everything. During this period, Chen Mo helped the island spirit roast a big crab. He didn't say goodbye again until the bright moon was high.
As for He Siyao and her Liao Yandie, they were listening quietly.
They couldn't understand what the Island Spirit and Blazing Fox were saying at all, and couldn't join the group chat at all.
Chen Mo translated a few sentences at first, but later he felt it was too troublesome to translate every sentence for her, so he didn't bother to speak anymore.
