Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Shark Incident
In the city of Arkeita in the Bilgewater Empire, it took Su Xi and the five people a week to finally come to this famous city.
As soon as they entered Arketa, the five of them could feel the fierce atmosphere here, and from time to time there were people scolding each other on the street, and even a few people could be seen fighting.
"What's going on now?"
Su Xi and the four of them looked at Yun Xiaotao, waiting for Yun Xiaotao's answer, after all, the plan to travel to the mainland this time was planned by Yun Xiaotao, so the next action was only known by Yun Xiaotao himself.
"Let's go to the harbor to find a hotel first, and then wait until midnight to see if we can meet the legendary ghost of the Blood Harbor."
Yun Xiaotao thought for a moment, and then led the others to the port.
Because there are often fishing boats going out to sea to hunt in the port, after coming back, the sea beasts that come back from hunting will be slaughtered in the port, and they are rendered by blood all year round, and the wooden planks here are basically dark red, and some fishy smells can be smelled from time to time.
The five of Suxi found a hotel here and rented two rooms for seven days for a silver coin.
"Huh? What's the smell of fish in this room? ”
Su Xi, Kong Yu, and Yun Xiaotao walked into one of the rooms, and as soon as they opened the door, they were greeted by a fishy smell, thinking that the air in the hotel would be better, but they didn't expect it to be the same.
"Bear with me, sea beasts that come back from hunting are often slaughtered here, and it's normal to have a fishy smell."
Yun Xiaotao said that it didn't matter, walked into the room, and looked at the environment, there are only two beds here, which means that there is a person who can only sleep with one of the other two, and the decoration is also very simple, and there is a small cabinet at the head of the two beds.
"No, it's not blood, it's the fishy smell of fish."
Suddenly, Kong Yu smelled the smell in the room, and recalled the smell outside the hotel, although both were fishy, but the fishy smell of the port outside the hotel was a very pungent smell of blood, and the smell in the room was more like the fishy smell emitted by the sea creatures.
"Is there a difference?"
Yun Xiaotao looked at Kong Yu curiously and asked.
"Whatever, after walking for more than a week, I have to have a good rest, don't think so much, instead of worrying about what the fishy smell in the air is, it's better to lie down for a while, let yourself relax, and be more energetic at night."
Su Xi and Yun Xiaotao were lying on the same bed, their eyes closed, as if they had fallen asleep, and their breathing was very light.
Of course, Su Xi and Yun Xiaotao didn't fall asleep, they just lay down and put on and closed their eyes to recuperate, so that their bodies could relax and relax.
Kong Yu saw that the two of them had begun to close their eyes and recuperate, and they were not entangled in anything, lying on another bed, closing their eyes and not knowing what they were thinking.
Unconsciously, the three of them gradually fell asleep in a very quiet environment, and when the three of them woke up, the sky outside the window had darkened, and the room was dark because the lights were not turned on.
"Well, it's night."
Su Xi was the first to wake up, sat up in a daze, and wanted to forcibly open his eyes.
But suddenly, a pair of big eyes appeared in Su Xi's eyes, and he looked at Su Xi with puzzled eyes.
"Huh? What is it? ”
Su Xi hadn't come to his senses at this time, and he didn't know what was going on at all, so he reached out to touch it, and then he touched something slippery and soft.
But soon, the eyes of Su Xi's eyes disappeared, Su Xi's hand stopped in the air, and when Su Xi retracted it, he felt that there was some slippery liquid in his hand, and it still exuded a disgusting fishy smell.
At this time, Su Xi woke up completely, and regardless of the fishy smell on his hands, he quickly got up and turned on the light in the room to see what the situation was.
But when Su Xi turned on the light, there was no one else in the room except for the three of them.
However, there were strange footprints on the floor, which didn't look like human footprints and more like ...... The soles of the duck's feet.
"Huh? Is it dawn? ”
The light made Kong Yu and Yun Xiaotao forcibly wake up, rubbing their eyes and saying in a daze.
"Look, these footprints, is there something that has entered our room?"
Su Xi pointed to the strange footprints on the floor, looked at the two of them, and said.
The two of them cheered up and looked at the place where Su Xi was pointing, a footprint similar to the sole of a duck's foot was clearly visible, and it also exuded a fishy smell, exactly like the fishy smell smelled during the day.
"What's that?"
Kong Yu and Yun Xiaotao said that they didn't know, Su Xi thought about it, and finally decided to ask the innkeeper.
In the end, Su Xi understood in the innkeeper that it was a creature called the Tidal Sea Spirit, and its name was Fitz, an amphibious creature at the bottom of the Sea of Watch.
Later, for unknown reasons, Fitz's race was destroyed, leaving Fitz alone, and eventually, Fiz came to Arketa and lived with humans.
At first, the people of Arkeita still liked this little guy from the Sea of Watch, lively, cute, and quirky, but gradually, Fitz began to hunt for humans, and things like this sneaking into human rooms in the middle of the night were still trivial, and what made Fitz really notorious was the shark incident a year ago.
A year ago, Fitz pestered a young captain, hoping that the captain could take Fitz to sea with him, but the young captain thought that Fitz liked to make trouble and might make the boat restless, so he didn't take Fitz with him, and secretly went to sea late one night.
Later, when Fitz learned that the young captain had not taken him to sea secretly, he was very angry, and plunged into the sea and swam in the direction of the fishing boat.
Later, when the young captain was hunting sea beasts one day, he suddenly found that the fishing boat was surrounded by huge sharks, and Fitz, standing on the head of the shark boss, looked at the young captain with a wicked smile.
However, Fitz did not let the sharks attack the fishing boat at that time, but only scared the young captain and told the young captain that if he did not take himself on the trip, this would happen.
Later, when the young captain returned safely, he told everyone about it, and they were afraid that they would be attacked by sharks one day when they went out to sea, so they all stayed away from Fiz and expelled Fitz from Arketa.
After the shark incident, the young captain no longer went to sea and honestly did a small business in Arketa, while Fitz, also after the shark incident, was expelled from Arkeita and could only sneak around in Arketa.
"And what does this Fitz look like? Is it human? Still is...... Sea beasts? ”
Su Xi asked curiously.
"Blue-white skin, tentacle hair, a trident in his hand, about half as tall as you, eyes wide, and a mouth open to both sides of his face."
