Melina half-crouched near the brightly colored bright yellow algae, her expression hesitant.

She complained:

"Can't I use my factor probe?"

Belen, who had just won the rock-paper-scissors victory, said bruisedly:

"No matter how much factor probing is not as good as the actual experience, for us banshees, we must have the courage to try!"

"I'm ready, Mei." Elizabeth held a small notebook with the words "Unnamed Algae Plants" written on it, and below it was a large pile of recorded information, including range, growing environment, color, etc., and put a question mark on the final [edible].

"Hmph."

Melina puffed out her face, stretched out her hand and gently picked it up, and the bright yellow algae on the ground was pulled up by the invisible telekinesis, peeled apart in the air, crumpled, and split into two balls and floated in front of Melina.

Through the ability of the factor, Melina is ready to cook and peel clean.

She picked up the raw algae, hesitated, and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Hmm..."

Chew twice.

"It has a salty taste and a bit like wakame, and when chewed, it produces vitamin factors and protein factors."

"I feel like a... Diatom! ”

Try cooked.

"Hmm... Well? ”

Chew it twice and it's unexpectedly delicious!

Her eyes brightened, and the dragon's tail swept twice with pleasure:

"The saltiness is neutralized, and it feels a bit like the texture of seaweed, and when you chew it, you can produce antioxidant and anti-inflammatory factors, and it can even be used as a base for healing dishes!"

Belen blinked beside him, and suddenly walked up and grabbed her arm:

"Give me the hour."

"The professor is really, why did he suddenly hug him!" Professor the texture of the chest of this gelsuit wetsuit......

"I want to hug you."

While they were playing, Elizabeth dutifully asked the auto-pen to record the investigation report:

"Unnamed algae, bright yellow, abundant, edible, raw is not sure whether it is suitable for ordinary people, it tastes like seaweed when cooked, and the secretion of cooked factors is biased towards the production of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant factors, and vitamins are also rich in ......"

A thick investigative diary is already more than half written.

After the ecological investigation is completed, after bringing them back, the explorer's guild will classify these newly discovered plants and animals according to these data and on-site investigations, and if they are the same species of animals and plants with similar characteristics, they will continue the common names of each other, and add the names of explorers to the scientific names as suffixes to indicate classification.

If it is completely different, the explorer's name will be prefixed and the explorer will be named as the usual and scientific name.

Elizabeth recorded that suddenly a clump of boiled algae appeared in front of her eyes.

Behind the algae were Melina's sparkling golden eyes.

The silver-haired and golden-eyed banshee is beautiful and delicate, looking like a kaolin flower, but she is as gentle and mature as a wife who leads the family, and jumps in front of her with a little child-like charm:

"Xiao Yi also eats?"

This is a kind offer that cannot be refused.

Elizabeth snorted, using her human gaze to discern Melina's mind.

The woman seems to have changed.

More like humans.

Is it because you are infected by companionship?

Or is it because she is also a lonely child in her heart who longs to hug?

Elizabeth let go, she no longer looked like she used to, she seemed kind but was actually arrogant, condescending to point at Melina.

Instead, you should open your arms and embrace each other.

If it's as a friend.

[Distrusting a friend is more humiliating than being deceived by a friend.] 】

She took a notebook full of investigation records and followed her two friends to explore deeper.

An inverted aquatic forest that can be observed passing by a pond.

After being colorful and hung with ruins that are not edible, but can be used to grind into medicinal powder.

They approached the largest pond and could see the bottomless ruins.

…

Melina crunched and killed the 24th salted shrimp they found in the pond.

She ate happily and said as she ate:

"Look, I'll just say..."

Chew chew chew.

"Here..."

Chew chew chew.

"It's like a salt lake ecological terrain! Not plain, not aquatic! ”

Chew chew chew...

It is the size of Melina's palm, bright in color, and tender and crispy in flesh. It also has its own salt flavor, so as long as you remove things like internal organs, you can eat it with water or salt water!

These shrimps are one of the local residents.

Melina's natural appearance of eating prawns made Elizabeth swallow her saliva, and she could only tell herself to 'be calm', no matter what you can't eat now.

Xiaomei is genetically modified by the demon fox dragon, and her stomach is much stronger than that of the banshee, so she is not afraid of eating messy and irritable things.

Also, Xiaomei's current physical ability, if she wants to eat her, it is estimated that she will be eaten in reverse.

You have to be genetically modified to have enough physical strength to try.

Elizabeth - extremely calm!

Continuing deeper, a dive was made.

They finally found some animals with shrimp, crustaceans, and crabs, a kind of bantam that looked like a cow but was surprisingly a bit dignified, and was relatively large and did not seem aggressive towards humans.

There is also a primitive dwarf elf race that does not have too high intelligence, but still treats Xiaomei as a mutant with a large size, and some want to dance in front of her and court.

and the discovery of traces of dragons.

In the complex and magnificent ruins, you can see that on those huge stone pillars, there are quite deep traces of dragons.

"Is it grinding its teeth and claws with these pillars? It's so cute. Melina's definition of cuteness has always been something that everyone doesn't understand.

"Almost 4000cm in size? It's a large dragon, at least level 8 or above, deal with it carefully. "Elizabeth, as a college student, gives a judgment at a glance.

The three swam over.

The material of the stone pillar was tested up close to determine the strength of the dragons.

Belen reached out and stroked the traces of the stone pillar:

"The dragon that specializes in the water should be the blue dragon species?"

"It's hard to say." Melina followed the script, "In the salt lake ecosystem, both black dragons and red dragons are possible. ”

"Uh, this is underwater, huh? Don't you forget? ”

"It's underwater, the devil knows how?" Melina flicked the dragon's tail and tapped the stone pillar.

Bang.

The water rolled, the white waves lifted, and the stone pillar was poked hard by her tail and broke in two, driving a large number of waves to suck the three of them into the unnaturally formed whirlpool.

Gollum!

Elizabeth was a little overwhelmed when she saw this kind of scene of 'ecology being blown up by her own people' for the first time.

Belen reacted very quickly, grabbed Melina, who was in trouble, and forced the other party to take the two of them to the bottom of the water to stand firm.

Knowing that she was in trouble, Melina unexpectedly honestly took them to the bottom.

After this earth-shattering shock, a fairly clear and transparent wave of water came from the ruins, which swept over the three of them like a radar wave (none of them stopped), and about ten seconds later, a sturdy dragon with a long body in the shape of a standard sea dragon rushed out of the depths of the deep ruins.

As soon as it came out, it let out a dragon roar of factor condensation in the water!

Roughly meaning, Melina, who has the gene of the demon fox dragon, understands a little bit, which is probably this:

"Who has destroyed what I hold!"

Both Belen and Elizabeth knew that Melina could understand a little bit of the dragon's roar, so they asked in the channel, "What do you mean?" ”

Melina translated with a blank face:

"It said, 'You three dare to trespass into my territory, it's your own death.'"

Even if she is not sensitive to the dragon's roar, Elizabeth thinks Melina will translate a little more? But after thinking about it, Xiaomei didn't need to lie to them, so she put up a fighting posture.

"In that case, I can only go on!"
