Chapter 33: The Siren's Pearl

Even the small wooden boat that had been moving forward was calmly stuck on the sea, as if it had lost the motivation to move forward.

Lu Xi couldn't feel the kraken's malice, so she slowly put her mind at ease, if the kraken had any bad intentions, looking at the current state, she had returned to the spirit farm with a white light.

Of course, the main reason is the siren's singing, under this beautiful singing, Lu Xi can't raise the slightest guard and vigilance in his heart.

The Kraken is extremely large, with its upper body resembling a human-like structure, while its lower body is a long fishtail, which adds up to a length of more than ten meters - more like a mermaid.

But unlike the image of the mermaid that Lu Xi is familiar with, the mermaid seems to be a very sad existence, whether it is they crying and turning into pearls, or being hurt by love will turn into foam......

The Kraken, on the other hand, is an extremely happy being, they have no enemies at the bottom of the sea, they can freely manipulate the waves, and their voices can confuse all life.

They can be said to be the "royal family" in the sea, free from any restraints and restrictions, free and unscrupulous.

I don't have to go to school, go to work, I don't have a mortgage or a car loan, and I won't have anything sad to think about.

As for the bitterness of love...... With all due respect to Lu Xi, she didn't think that a kraken, who was more than ten meters long, would fall in love with most humans who were less than two meters tall.

However, among the human beings, there are many humans who have seen the Kraken, and when describing the Kraken, they all focus on describing the beauty of the Kraken, and there is no mention of the Siren's body being so large.

If you know that the length of the head and tail of the kraken is more than ten meters, it is estimated that the pursuit of the kraken in human society will drop a lot.

Based on the imaginary illustrations Lu Xi saw in various picture books, most of the krakens were "petite" in the eyes of humans, after all, the fishtail part occupied more than three-quarters of the body.

Think of the sightings of the Kraken by witnesses, most of whom were attracted to the Siren's song in a stormy weather with bad light, and thus discovered the Siren.

But often not waiting for humans to get close...... The ship has disintegrated in the storm, and the Kraken is not a good mermaid princess, she is keen to save humans.

So basically the survivors have no close contact with the Kraken, and their attention is almost attracted by the beauty of the Kraken, and it is difficult to notice other places.

But Lu Xi turned around in his heart, and couldn't help but think that from such a distance, he could still see the appearance of the kraken clearly, and ruled out the possibility of his amazing eyesight, so there would be only one option left for the kraken's huge body.

Did you really not think of this possibility, or did you tacitly not mention it in order to maintain the status of the Kraken in the hearts of humans and make your news more valuable and valuable?

Dirty, human society is really dirty.

The Kraken was still singing, and Lu Xi stared at the Kraken's mouth for a long time, and found that the Kraken was actually not singing with its mouth.

Also, the Kraken is not human.

"Do you have anything to do with me?" Lu Xi opened his mouth and asked, everyone else was hypnotized and asleep, only he was awake, who was the target person, isn't this very conspicuous.

After asking, Lu Xi's expression moved, and he added in a low voice, "Uh, can you understand what I say?" ”

"Hehehe" A burst of laughter was heard, and the kraken's tail swung on the water, causing waves to overlap.

"Of course I understand." Much sharper than a human voice, but not harsh, came.

Lu Xi opened his mouth slightly and looked towards the kraken, not to mention, just like this, it really looks like a human being.

It's just that the voice is a little indistinguishable, and the gender can't be distinguished...... The Kraken does not seem to have a gender, although the upper body is similar to the structure of a human body, but it is covered with a layer of tiny scales, and there is no obvious undulation.

Human skin can't be soaked in water for long periods of time.

"This is something you threw into the sea, right?"

The Kraken spoke, and an item was taken out of the sea and thrown onto the cabin plank.

Lu Xi stared at the item, unconsciously relieved, scared to death, she thought that the kraken was catching up with the "gold" she threw down.

What was touched by the Kraken to the wooden boat was a boiled fish bone.

Lu Xi usually prepares dinner more fully, and when he caught a boatload of fish in the afternoon, he took out a few sea fish that were suitable for cooking fish soup at a glance, and cooked fish soup.

Although Mickey has a large amount of rice, she is still a human being, and she has no interest in gnawing fish bones, but she just rounds the soup base.

Although Xiao Yuan is a silver wolf, it looks very similar to a dog, but its taste is more soft and smooth like pudding and egg custard, and it doesn't like to gnaw on bones, especially after being stuck by a fish bone once a long time ago.

The bones left over from the soup are then sorted into the kitchen waste and thrown into the sea.

Normal sea fish have little interest in the corpses of their kind that have been boiled in seasoning, but the Kraken is attracted by the wonderful fragrance of the bones.

Unsure whether it was by taste or by what function, the Kraken caught up with the small wooden boat all the way, and clearly and unambiguously found Lu Xi, who made this delicious fish bone.

Lu Xi's expression was strange, or it was possible that the attitude of watching the Kraken tell the process was too friendly and friendly, so he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you sure it's me and not her?" ”

Lu Xi pointed to the bow of the boat where Mickey was sitting napping.

"I've seen her eat, a big pot, it's hard to eat, and she can't even come with fish." The Kraken looked disgusted.

Mickey obviously often sails on the sea, especially in the last half a year or so, and has seen a lot, and the kraken unconsciously pays attention to each other.

The messaging in the sea was much faster than Lu Xi had imagined.

So Lu Xi knew how unpalatable Mi Qi's cooking was - there was no other way to deal with it at sea, and all kinds of garbage and waste were directly thrown into the sea, including Mi Qi's leftovers and brush pot water.

Wherever Mickey's boat sailed, there were almost no fish on the shallow surface, and they were all smoked away by the unpalatable taste of her food.

And this is also the reason for Mickie's giant fishing rod, the fishing rod she used at the beginning is actually about the same size as the fishing rod used by Lu Xi.

But because there are no fish in the shallow water, Mickey has to keep increasing the size of the rod and let the rod go deeper into the sea to catch fish.

Lu Xi couldn't help but glance at Mi Qi several times, what kind of cooking is unpalatable, in order to achieve this effect, against the sky.

"What do you want me to do?" Lu Xi had a guess in his heart, but he still asked.

"What did you make out of it, I want to taste." The Kraken said, pointing to the fishbones.

However, compared to the ice dragon's unreasonable attitude of eating the overlord's meal at any time, the Kraken is obviously much more sensible.

As the Kraken's arm lifted, a mess of items landed on the cabin.

There are gold jewelry, all kinds of jewelry, and even boxes of gold coins, as well as many unknown metal materials.

"Can I use these as my compensation?"

Lu Xi got up, picked up and inspected them one by one, at first glance, they were all good things, but when he got closer, he could find that these items were full of traces of being soaked in water.

The value is valuable, but the value must be discounted a lot, and perhaps the archaeological value is higher, but it seems that "antiques" have not yet become popular in other worlds.

In particular, these gold coins are not known to be hundreds of years old, and the patterns on them have been blurred, and the fineness does not look like the golden ratio that is popular today.

If you want to use it as money, you have to melt it first and re-mint it into gold coins.

Of course, for ordinary human beings, these things must still be valuable, even if part of the value is lost, the preciousness of the whole is self-evident.

This ship...... And obviously there is more than a shipwn, but it is comparable to the wealth of a small and medium-sized aristocratic family.

However, Lu Xi is really not short of money, in other words, a piece of ice dragon dragon scales is comparable to a few boats of these things, so there is not much excitement on her face.

Without waiting for the kraken to ask, Lu Xi opened his mouth to speak first, "The ice dragon said, it often trades with you krakens, what does it trade?" Can I take a look? ”

The Kraken tilted its head sideways, and its expression was very surprised that Lu Xi knew about the ice dragon, but it didn't notice the smell of lies, so it didn't suspect that Lu Xi was lying.

"You probably won't like it." The Kraken replied honestly, "The Ice Dragon's wants all the worthless things. ”

There was a clear feeling in his tone that he regarded the ice dragon as a wronged leader.

Lu Xi was surprised, did the Kraken know what was "valuable" and "worthless"?

But come to think of it, the Kraken can speak the human language, and must know a lot about humans, so it is easy to understand the origin of the concept of money.

"Ice dragon it, as long as food, fish, big fish." The Kraken explained to Lu Xi.

The ice dragon is the same series of ice element attributes, water element attributes, and usually needs to eat a large number of water element attribute monsters to fill the stomach, although it only eats once in half a year or a year, but in terms of the size of the ice dragon, the amount at one time is enough.

And on land, if you want to find a sufficient number of water elemental attribute monsters, it is not only difficult to find, but also troublesome, so the ice dragon thought of a way to trade with the kraken.

Krakens live at the bottom of the sea, and can control the waves and all kinds of sea fish, and the most important thing on the bottom of the sea is all kinds of huge sea fish...... By the way, sea fish are all water elemental attributes, no one will doubt this.

Although there will be some marine fish with other elemental attributes, the probability is much lower than on land.

Therefore, with only a few elemental stones, you can easily harvest dozens of sea fish for food, and in the heart of the ice dragon, there is simply no more suitable transaction than this.

Because there are too many sea fish, in the Kraken, the value is no different from the grass on the ground, and he told Lu Xi bluntly that that thing has no value, only the ice dragon stupid big one will use it for trading.

Lu Xi didn't express an opinion on the ice dragon, but she thought about it for a moment and asked again, "What about the elemental stones that the ice dragon traded to you?" ”

There are too few sources of elemental stones, even if Lu Xi has stored a lot of them, it is a good thing that he can find other sources.

The Krakens have traded with the Ice Dragons so many times, and the Elemental Stones must have been stored a lot.

"Elemental stone, no." Unexpectedly, the Kraken rejected Lu Xi.

"Why?" Lu Xi subconsciously asked rhetorically, only to feel that it was inappropriate to ask, and hurriedly looked up to see the expression of the kraken.

The kraken's expression did not change, and he didn't feel offended by Lu Xi's question, so he really opened his mouth to explain it to Lu Xi.

This Kraken has a very good personality! Lu Xi was moved from the bottom of his heart.

According to the Kraken, it is very difficult for them to have offspring because they are different from humans and monsters, and do not breed the next generation by mating.

If you have to say it, it's actually more like splitting and merging.

It is a piece of viscous liquid similar to a slime that falls from each of the two krakens, and then fuses with each other, and finally forms a new kraken life.

And the problem lies in the fusion, I don't know why, the fusion process of the Kraken's descendants is failing more and more, and there are fewer and fewer newborn Krakens.

The Elemental Stone was discovered by accident and has the effect of stabilizing the life of the Kraken that is merging and increasing the number of newborn Krakens.

The Kraken was not worried at all about what threat Lu Xi would pose to their "cubs" after hearing about this.

Laughing to death, even the dragon can't reach the bottom of the sea, and the ice dragon needs to trade to get the fish of the sea, not to mention the small human life.

Lu Xi also understood that the Elemental Stone had such a great effect on the Kraken, no wonder it couldn't be used as currency.

After thinking about it, Lu Xi set his sights in other directions, the ice dragon's dragon scales can be sold to the game system and exchanged for elemental stones, so is there anything in the Kraken that also has this value?

Lu Xi's first reaction was "ambergris", cough, although this thing is whale excrement to put it bluntly, its value is really high among humans.

The second is the "pearl", the story of the mermaid's tears or something, which brings a lot of bonuses to the pearl, but also explains the charm of the pearl.

Again, it's "coral", which is a colorful natural coral that is extremely beautiful as an ornament.

And probably because of the lack of human exploration of the ocean, corals are not popular among the nobility of the other world - but it doesn't matter, Lu Xi can be the first person to eat crabs.

Oh yes, there are crabs, Lu Xi has been in the other world for so long, and he hasn't eaten a big crab yet, recalling the taste of crabs, Lu Xi couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Considering that the kraken may also be a type of fish, after all, there is a fish tail that is ten meters long, Lu Xi jumped the word "ambergris".

She was afraid that asking for a kind of sea fish excrement would offend the Siren...... What is the difference between this and asking for Luxi's "gold".

As for "Coral", the value is not yet clear, and for the sake of safety, Lu Xi asked the Kraken for pearls.

"Pearls? We love those little beads, too. The Kraken smiled, and with a raised arm, dozens of football-sized pearls fell in front of Lu Xi's eyes.

Lu Xi looked at the kraken, and then at the football-sized pearl in front of him, for the size of the kraken, this thing was indeed a small bead.

But for humans, that's a bit too big.

Think of those noble ladies and ladies who carry pearls of this size and make them into jewels on their bodies...... It's a little too funny.

However, Lu Xi was not in a hurry to refuse, she did not forget that her purpose was actually to find an item that could be sold to the game system and exchanged for elemental stones, not to sell it to human nobles for jewelry.

[System Notification: Players obtain the ultra-rare item "Kraken's Pearl ×21", each pearl can be converted into 1000 low-level elemental stones/100 intermediate elemental stones/10 high-level elemental stones.] 】

It's done! Lu Xi's eyes lit up.

Hahaha, a false move! Didn't guess it!
