Chapter 32 The Repayment of the Spirit of the Lone Island (for further reading)
While one person and one beast were happily eating grilled fish, Chen Mo suddenly heard the sound of rolling waves, followed by a long cry of whales.
"Woo—" (friend!)
After bidding farewell to Chen Mo, the spirit of the lonely island did not leave, but chose to wander in the nearby sea area.
Seeing the fire on the shore, he swam over, but was pleasantly surprised to find that it was Chen Mo.
"Would you like some?"
Chen Mo shook the grilled fish in his hand.
"Woo!" (want to eat!)
The Spirit of the Lone Island 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 spirit of the lonely island.
The Spirit of the Lone Island swallowed it in one gulp.
"Woo?" (Gone???)
"It seems. Is it a little less?"
The weight of this grilled fish is not enough for the spirit of the lonely island to fit between the teeth.
"Woo—" (My friend, wait for me!)
After a whale cry, the spirit of the lonely island dived into the water suddenly, and disappeared in an instant.
Although this big guy is huge, he is extremely sensitive in the water.
"gone?"
After almost half an hour, there was no movement on the sea again.
Just when Chen Mo thought that the spirit of the lonely island had left, the sound of waves rolling again came from his ears.
In the light of the orange bonfire, the shadow of the Spirit of the Lonely Island is faintly visible in the distance. The water around it is surging, and then a huge monster is thrown to the shore by the water waves.
This is a huge scarlet octopus. Chen Mo also defeated a similar one in the afternoon.
But the scarlet octopus in front of me is much bigger! This scarlet octopus was 7 or 8 meters long just by its tentacles, and its growth level should have been close to the commanding level, but it was easily killed by the island spirit.
The Spirit of the Lone Island blinked his blue eyes like the sea again.
"My friend, you mean you want me to bake octopus for you?"
Chen Mo asked with a smile.
"Woo—"
The Spirit of the Lone Island nodded and hummed happily.
"No problem, but my grill can only put down half of the tentacles of this octopus, you have to wait a while."
The octopus is so big that it cannot fit on a grill.
"Woo—" (It's okay~)
"Chirp!"
Blazing fox skillfully cut the octopus with its claws, and dug out a dark blue crystal nucleus in the center of its head.
This is the "organ" for the scarlet octopus to store water-type spiritual power. After special treatment, it can automatically absorb water-type spiritual power in the air, so that spirit beasts with corresponding attributes can be quickly replenished when their spiritual power is exhausted.
"This is the water system crystal nucleus of an extraordinary 9th rank spirit beast."
He Siyao on the side spoke.
"The market price of such a crystal nucleus is about 300,000."
Hearing this, Chen Mo silently accepted the water crystal core.
Ahem, treat it as a food processing fee!
"However, charcoal-grilled octopus is a bit wasteful."
Chen Mo regrets that he is not the Yuling Chef, otherwise the ingredients in front of him can completely make high-quality food.
But there is a saying—
Often the most high-end ingredients only require the simplest cooking method.
Brush oil on both sides and grill evenly until golden, and then sprinkle cumin and pepper on each octopus tentacles, it is delicious enough.
Chen Mo, Xiao Jiu, and He Siyao ate half of the tentacles, so the two of them and the beast were already full.
Chen Mo felt warm inside his body, very comfortable.
Extraordinary-rank scarlet octopus has high nutritional value. If you continue to eat it, you can slightly improve your physical fitness. This change is especially obvious for spirit beasts.
Chen Mo packed half of the tentacles, and threw the remaining 7 tentacles to the island spirit after grilling.
"Woo—" (This is too delicious!)
After eating the scarlet octopus, the spirit of the lonely island let out a contented humming sound, and the star pattern under its belly exuded a magnificent brilliance, just like the stars in the sky.
This is the performance of the spirit of the lonely island only 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, ready to hunt another big guy nearby.
"Wait a minute, my friend! I didn't bring enough cumin powder and chili powder this time, and I can't cook large creatures. Next time!"
Seeing that the spirit of the lonely island was about to set off again, Chen Mo, who had sensed the big guy's intentions, said hastily.
Just this big octopus drained his condiments.
"Woo~"
Spirit of the Lone Island nodded.
"Big guy, my name is Chen Mo, you can call me by my name directly in the future. Of course, it doesn't matter if you continue to call my friend. By the way, do you have a name?"
After eating and drinking, Chen Mo was going to talk about life with the spirit of the isolated island.
"Woo—" (My name is Xinghai...)
It seemed that it was the first time he had found someone to confide in, so Xinghai then told Chen Mo about his experiences.
It originally lived with its own parents and the ethnic group in the depths of the whirlpool sea, an inaccessible place.
Because the frequency of his voice was different from that of ordinary whales since he was a child, neither his parents nor his clan could hear what he said, thinking that the child was born stupid!
Although it has been taken care of in life, it has neglected emotional care.
No one heard Xinghai sing, and no one paid attention to him when he was sad.
So on a dark and windy night, it left the group alone, wanting to find the existence that could sense the frequency of its sound.
Listening to Xinghai telling his past, Chen Mo was a little emotional.
With the world people.
He, Xiao Jiu, and the spirit of the lonely island in front of him can all form an "orphan trio".
"Cheers to our friendship!"
"Chirp!"
"Woo—"
Chen Mo clinked glasses with Blazing Fox, while the Spirit of the Lonely Island took a symbolic sip of sea water.
At this moment, the two bright moons above the head echo each other, the bonfire by the sea emits orange brilliance, the sound of the seemingly invisible whales and the rustling sea wind sound quite artistic.
Of course, this is not very friendly to other experiencers on the island.
It's late at night, hearing such a penetrating voice, it still keeps people from sleeping! ?
"Woo—" (Friend, do you want to go to the sea?)
The blue eyes of the Spirit of the Lone Island looked at Chen Mo, with an unspeakable emotion hidden inside.
"Sorry, I can't leave this island for the time being."
Chen Mo felt a little pity.
Experience stipulates that you can't leave this small island. Once you leave, you will be considered eliminated. Otherwise, Chen Mo really wants to experience what it's like to ride on the spirit of an isolated island.
"Woo—"
After chatting for an unknown amount of time, there were only Yu Xing flames left on the bonfire, which flickered for a while and then completely extinguished.
The night is dark.
"I'm going back to rest, see you tomorrow!"
"Chirp!" (bye big guy!)
"Woo—"
The figure of the spirit of the lonely island slowly sinks into the ocean and gradually disappears
The next day, Chen Mo took He Siyao to clean up the bosses in the southwest and central regions.
After cleaning up, their points are already several times that of the third place, and it will be very difficult for others to surpass.
In the evening, Chen Mo heard the familiar sound of whales at the beach again.
The spirit of the isolated island arrived as scheduled, and brought Chen Mo a gift, which was a colorful conch shell that could make crisp and melodious sounds.
The sound of this kind of spiral 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 he blows the conch, it will appear.
Then, one person, one whale and one fox chatted about the world, during which Chen Mo roasted a big crab for the spirit of the lonely island, and did not say goodbye again until the bright moon hung high.
As for He Siyao and her Lianyandie, they just listened quietly from the side.
They couldn't understand what the island spirit and blazing fox were saying, so they couldn't join the group chat at all
Chen Mo had to translate a few sentences at first, but later he thought it would be too troublesome to translate each sentence for her, so he didn't bother to do so.
