Chapter 52: General Sparrowtail
Chen Xuan thought to himself, if he had the opportunity to set the conch girl again, he would not only ask for another spell, but also ask for her identity, which might be helpful for entering the Dragon Palace in the future.
"By the way, you just said that General Sparrowtail knows how to do spells?" asked Chen Xuan.
"Of course, General Sparrowtail used to be the general who commanded a thousand shrimp soldiers, and his spells were very strong. When the squid spirit said this, his tone was adoring.
Chen Xuan was stunned for a moment, General Sparrow Tail is the commander of the shrimp soldiers, don't you hate the shrimp soldiers, why don't you hate General Bird Tail? However, General Bird Tail seems to be their boss, so it is not good to ask directly, Chen Xuan changed his question: "Then why does he live here?"
"Decades ago, when he was the commander of the guards in the Dragon Palace, a Dragon Palace treasure was stolen, and the Dragon King was furious and demoted him. The squid spirit said.
"When General Sparrowtail first came here, he was disheartened and lived by wine, but he was so strong that we were afraid that he would vent his emotions and clean up us, so we brought him good food and drink every day. At first he didn't bother to pay attention to us, but then he gradually accepted our existence. Once we were attacked by a pack of shark spirits, and General Birdtail came to our rescue. Since then, he's been our boss, though he's still too lazy to pay attention to us. The clownfish spirit said.
Chen Xuan thought to himself, in his opinion, the shrimp soldiers are very strong, the squid spirit is stronger, and now in comparison, this sparrow tail strong army is probably even stronger to a certain point, and asked: "The shark spirit attacked you?
"That refers to the Dragon Palace and the residential area, here is a wilderness, it belongs to the lawless zone, who kills whom, the shrimp soldiers don't care. Blue Hanging Fish Essence said.
"Thanks to General Sparrowtail, no one dares to mess with us now. The sea urchin spirit said.
"General Sparrowtail is probably looking for clues to the treasure again. The elephant plucked the frog spirit and said.
"It's been decades, and he's still looking for that treasure?" Chen Xuan was stunned.
"yes, General Sparrowtail is a very brainless ...... A person who is persistent and has pursuits, he vows to find that treasure and return it to the Dragon Palace. The clownfish spirit said.
"After so many years, have you found a clue?" asked Chen Xuan.
"General Sparrowtail has searched almost all of the East China Sea, but there is no clue, and the treasure seems to have evaporated. Blue Hanging Fish Essence said.
"At this time, General Sparrowtail should be back soon. The squid spirit said.
Chen Xuan's heart jumped, a little entangled, he really wanted to meet the Sparrow Tail General, and even learn his spells, but he was very worried, after all, it sounded like that Sparrow Tail General was not as muddy and uninformed as this group of goblins, would he be recognized?
"It's better not to take this risk, it's been so long, and there is not much air left in the compressed air bottle, and I don't know if my water avoidance trick is enough here, so let's withdraw it first." Chen Xuan thought and said goodbye to the goblins again.
This time, the goblins finally didn't stop Chen Xuan anymore, and said one by one that they were very welcome to Chen Xuan to come back tomorrow, and the squid spirit, clown fish essence, blue hanging fish essence even hoped that Chen Xuan would also live here.
Chen Xuan waved goodbye to them, dragged the fish in the net bag, swam out for one or two hundred meters, and when he turned around, he couldn't see the boat, so he was barely relieved. This trip to the sea has a huge harvest, but after a trip to the fairy lair, my heart is uncomfortable.
What Chen Xuan didn't notice was that a shadow shot from behind him, like an arrow piercing through the sea, silently falling on his net bag. It has a dark green body, orange-red antennae scales, black and brown honeycomb lines with white borders on the anterior side of the cephalothorax, and red pectoral and predatory claws on its three pairs of pectoral legs.
This passerine mantis shrimp is surprisingly large, more than 30 centimeters long, but compared to the fish in the net bag, the weight is still almost negligible, and its location happens to be the blind spot of Chen Xuan's vision, so Chen Xuan didn't find it.
Chen Xuan identified the direction through the map of the journey to the west, tried to drag the fish in the net bag, and went out of the East China Sea near the bay.
Chen Xuan came up directly near the bay, and Chen Hua, Chen Bin, Chen Hu and others, who were expanding the cages, were stunned when they saw Chen Xuan.
"Ah Xuan, you went to the sea again, won't you catch the treasure again?" Chen Bin said.
"Why did you get ashore here?" Chen Hua wondered.
"There are a few fish, so let's keep them here. Chen Xuan said, dragging the net bag to a cage and putting down two Chinese sturgeons and a yellow-lipped fish.
"What kind of fish are these, they're so big. Chen Hu asked.
"Keep an eye on them, don't stock other fish in this cage, don't let them run away, and let me know if anything happens." After Chen Xuan finished instructing, he filled the bucket with other fish and took them to the pet store.
"What kind of fish are these?" Chen Bin looked down at the three fish in the cage, they occasionally swam to the surface, but quickly burrowed down, and they couldn't see clearly.
"It's kind of familiar. Chen Hu said.
"I seem to recognize it, but ...... That's impossible. Chen Hua said the general, and shook his head again, feeling that it was impossible.
After Chen Xuan returned to the pet store, he put all kinds of marine ornamental fish into the prepared sea tank and raised them, and gave them water soaked in Neidan to prevent them from dying. After all, some marine ornamental fish are very difficult to raise, and they will die at every turn.
Then, Chen Xuan made a phone call to his aunt and asked her to come here tomorrow, his aunt was a few years younger than his father, when Chen Xuan was young, his aunt was not married, and he often took care of him as if he was taking care of his own children, when Chen Xuan was in college, his aunt also gave him a computer, which is the one that the conch girl he uses now often uses to make dramas.
Chen Xuan likes her aunt very much, and I heard that her pet store is not profitable, so I want to help her by the way.
"Ah Xuan, you have nothing to do to open a pet shop, do you really think this business is easy to make? I heard your parents say that you have made a lot of money by fishing, but you can't spend money indiscriminately. Aunt Chen Yunqin blamed.
"It's all open, auntie, can you come over and do a favor. Chen Xuanyang begged.
"You kid, it's going to cause trouble, but my shop hasn't been doing well lately, and it's okay to close it tomorrow morning, I'll go over tomorrow morning to help you take a look." Chen Yunqin said.
"Auntie, you're the best. Chen Xuan said with a smile.
"Don't give me this set. Chen Yunqin scolded with a smile.
Then, the signboard that Chen Xuan had ordered was also sent over and hung up, and everything was ready. Early the next morning, the "Wonder Pet Shop" opened uneventfully.
