Chapter 34: Redemption at Sea
A deal with the Kraken was agreed.
Lu Xi looked at Xiao Yuan and Mi Qi, who were still asleep, and was not sure if he wanted to prepare to cook in such an environment.
Fortunately, Miss Siren is also very understanding...... Uh, little brother Siren?
Lu Xi couldn't help but glance sideways at the kraken a few times, and couldn't tell the other party's gender at all, saying that it was a handsome and beautiful little brother, and it seemed that it was no problem to say that it was a little sister.
And the Kraken itself is genderless.
In short, the Kraken agreed to let Lu Xi sleep first, rest for the night, and start trading again tomorrow.
And it also took advantage of this time to go back and get some pearls, and the 21 pearls that were just handed over to Lu Xi were all it carried.
The trade between the Kraken and Lu Xi is a pearl for a fish, with a body length of half a meter as the standard, a half-meter long fish is worth one pearl, if the body length reaches more than 1 meter, it is two pearls.
If the body length is shorter than half a meter, it is considered a pot, and a pot is a pearl.
After all, the largest pot under Lu Xi's hand can only fit a half-meter-long fish at most.
In fact, it is okay to exchange a dish for a pearl, but the Kraken prefers to use the number of fish to calculate, and Lu Xi will follow it.
Just 21 pearls obviously can't satisfy the appetite of the kraken, a non-human creature like this has a huge appetite, and Lu Xi also expressed his understanding.
But she even satisfied the appetite of the ice dragon, just a kraken, no problem.
Lu Xi, who had been trained by the ice dragon, was not worried about anything, she watched the kraken leave with a smile on her face, and the expression behind her suddenly froze.
The Kraken, who left the small wooden boat, did not dive to the bottom of the sea, but exposed half of its body and swam on the surface of the sea, which, at first glance, resembled a human swimming in the sea.
But that's not the point, the point is that after the kraken left the small wooden boat about a few hundred meters away, the otherwise calm sea suddenly shook violently.
The sudden arrival of the Kraken almost made the figure of the Kraken in it seem to be drowning, which made people worry.
Lu Xi looked nervously for a while, only to realize that something seemed to be wrong.
The surroundings of her small wooden boat were still very stable, and there was no appearance of being hit by the storm.
When the figure of the kraken left far enough that it was almost invisible, Lu Xi found that the sudden storm seemed to follow the kraken away, getting farther and farther away.
Lu Xi couldn't help but think of the characteristics of the Kraken, they are a clan that can control the sea, and can calm the stormy sea...... Nature can also make the calm sea stormy.
Then I think of the Kraken clan's unrestrained, free-spirited, and playful character.
Is there a possibility...... Krakens just find the stormy sea interesting, so they've been controlling the environment around them that seems extremely dangerous to humans, and they're just having fun?
I think of the survivors who saw the Kraken were all lucky enough to see the Kraken after various shipwrecks.
In other words, the shipwreck they encountered was not because they met the Kraken......
Otherwise, how can you suddenly encounter such a dangerous stormy weather, and you don't have time to react, you know, before a normal storm comes, there will be many prompts, and it is possible to avoid it in time.
The more he thought about it, the more Lu Xi felt that he might have touched the truth.
On the one hand, many humans were rescued by the Kraken after being killed in a storm, and on the other hand, the Siren's song, when the life of the sea was hanging by a thread when the sea encountered a storm, hearing the Siren's calming song, unconsciously relaxed, no longer afraid.
Of course, the most important thing is actually the appearance of the Kraken, because it is so beautiful that humans have no way to set the Kraken as a villain.
I wonder if if humans would be so reverent of the Kraken if they knew the truth...... However, Lu Xi will definitely not take the initiative to reveal this matter.
Anyway, the Kraken is now her partner.
"Hmm...... Miss Lucy? Mickey yawned, got up and stretched, and looked at Lu Xi with sleepy eyes.
Then, as if realizing something, Mickey tapped her head with some annoyance, "Ahh ”
Lu Xi hadn't said anything, and suddenly found that the small wooden boat that had been standing still just now had regained its momentum and galloped forward with Miqi's awakening.
It seems that the power system of the small wooden boat should be inseparable from Mickey.
Without digging deeper, Lu Xi said that the kraken had just come over, and that Mi Qi would see him during the day tomorrow...... You can't let Lu Xi stay where he is for days, just to cook for the Kraken.
She's still in a hurry to get home!
I hope everything is fine at the Shrine Farm, and I put my hands together.
Mickey sighed, not surprised, as if she had known about the existence of the Siren, and she seemed to be annoyed that she had fallen asleep to the Siren's song.
Lu Xi looked down at Xiao Yuan, who was also hypnotized by the siren's singing, and he didn't wake up until the kraken left for a long time, and he slept very solidly.
Lu Xi couldn't help laughing, only a cub who grew up in love would have such a sense of security of trusting others.
Looking at Xiao Yuan, who was sleeping, the beautiful sleeping posture, Lu Xi couldn't help but feel a wave of sleepiness, looking at the time, Lu Xi lifted the quilt, lay down again, and waved his hand to Mi Qi by the way.
"Good night."
Mickey glanced back at Lu Xi, returned to her place and sat down again, and responded, "Good night, Miss Lucy." ”
When I opened my eyes again, it was already bright daylight.
When Lu Xi opened his eyes this time, he didn't see the kraken, and he felt very comfortable sleeping until he woke up naturally.
Looking at the time, it was only a little after six o'clock in the morning, which was about the same as her usual schedule.
The sun has risen some height above sea level, and the color of red is beautiful.
Xiao Yuan woke up much earlier than Lu Xi, and was lying beside Mi Qi, with an obvious shocked expression on a wolf face, and glanced at Lu Xi from time to time.
It wasn't until he saw Lu Xi wake up that it let out an aggrieved whining, and a fierce tiger pounced and threw itself into Lu Xi's arms.
Feeling the emotions of Xiaoyuan in his arms, Lu Xi looked at Mi Qi.
It turned out that after Xiao Yuan woke up, Mi Qi told Xiao Yuan about Lu Xi's encounter with the Kraken last night.
Xiao Yuan knew that after he fell asleep, so many things had happened, and even Lu Xi was in danger, and he didn't know it, and he suddenly had a sense of self-blame that he was very useless.
Lu Xi hurriedly comforted Xiao Yuan, and by the way, asked Xiao Yuan to start packing things with her.
I don't know if there is anything wrong with Lu Xi's education and training methods, but after finding something for Xiao Yuan to do, Xiao Yuan's mood has stabilized a lot.
As soon as he packed up the things on the wooden boat, Xiao Yuan suddenly got up and whined at a sea, looking extremely serious.
Lu Xi looked over with Xiao Yuan's line of sight, and saw an extremely beautiful "human head" rising from the sea.
The light in last night was not very clear, no matter how bright the moonlight was, it could not compare to the sun, and Lu Xi's beauty of the Siren was not at all as clear as it was at this moment.
The Kraken swam in the direction of the rising sun, and the morning sunlight softly hit the Kraken's body, like a faint circle of light, setting off the incomparable beauty of the ocean.
Lu Xi's eyes straightened when he saw it.
Xiao Yuan's voice is also getting lower and lower.
Until the Kraken came closer, Xiao Yuan was already in a state where he couldn't make a sound.
You must know that the silver wolf is a monster race that likes humans very much, and the appearance of the kraken is extremely similar to that of humans, which can cause stunning looks to humans, in fact, for the silver wolf, the impact of beauty is the same.
Only...... couldn't be fierce at all, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but quietly look sideways at Lu Xi.
I don't know if it's Lu Xi in Xiao Yuan's eyes, his appearance can fight against the kraken, or what the reason is, after looking at Lu Xi twice, Xiao Yuan actually plucked up the courage again, turned his head and yelled at the kraken.
The Kraken or something, it's not as good-looking as the owner!!
Xiao Yuan's scream just woke up Lu Xi, who was shocked by the beauty of the Siren, Lu Xi hurriedly coughed twice to stop Xiao Yuan, and the Siren also came close at this time.
Xiao Yuan blinked his eyes and looked at the growing kraken, the cute wolf head, unconsciously crooked, like many humans, before the kraken did not really get close, Xiao Yuan did not expect the kraken to be so big.
The huge size dilutes the amazing sense of the Siren's beauty, and with it is full of curiosity, Xiao Yuan changes direction and begins to look at the Siren.
The Kraken is not averse to this little creature, and as one of their innate abilities, they can sense some emotional changes in the creature on the other side.
Kind, bright-minded creatures are always the ones that the Krakens are more willing to get close to, and it is easier for them to survive at the hands of the Kraken - most of the human survivors who were shipwrecked were helped by the Kraken because they had no evil thoughts themselves, such as controlling the sea and washing it ashore.
Lu Xi had already accepted the deposit yesterday, and he didn't shirk it at this time, took out pots and pans from the system backpack, and filled the small wooden boat with decoration.
With only two or three pots, you can't easily satisfy the Kraken's appetite.
After having the kraken, Lu Xi even saved the steps of fishing, she asked what kind of sea fish she needed, the kraken waved her hand casually, and there were corresponding sea fish jumping on the small wooden boat, which was very convenient.
This time, without the influence of the Kraken, the small wooden boat was moving normally, and the Kraken actually followed the wooden boat steadily.
After Lu Xi was cooking, she couldn't help but look down, she didn't see the kraken swimming or wagging her tail, how could she keep up.
After watching for a long time, Lu Xi finally grasped a little clue, it turned out that the kraken had "fixed" a piece of sea water around the small wooden boat.
The small wooden boat moves forward, and the surrounding sea water is fixed relative to the small wooden boat, which makes the Kraken in it achieve the effect of being carried by the small wooden boat, which is quite magical.
Lu Xi's cooking speed has always been very fast, less than half an hour, there are pots cooking one after another, and the fragrance wafts out along the heat.
The Kraken looked extremely curious, and curiously stretched out its webbed fingers to touch the pot, which was a little small for it.
"Be careful, hot!" Lu Xi saw it out of the corner of his eye, and subconsciously reminded him, and then reacted, this is a kraken, a hot pot with a high temperature of more than 100 degrees, and it will not do it any harm to take a bath.
As Lu Xi thought, the kraken's fingers were placed on the pot and made a sizzling sound, but the kraken did not have any injured painful expression.
After hearing Lu Xi's reminder, the Kraken slowly picked up his finger, and Lu Xi clearly saw that the tips of the Kraken's fingers had turned into a transparent state, and a small bubble was bubbling in the fingertips.
It's like ...... A cloud of water was scalded by the heat.
Lu Xi looked at the Kraken again, and suddenly realized that although it seemed that the Kraken had entities like various monsters, they were actually similar to slimes in their body structure, and they could not be fully counted as entities.
In case of danger, the Kraken can even turn into a liquid and melt into the ocean to escape, and the ocean is so big that the Kraken is a place for it.
Of course, the Kraken is not invincible, such as the Ice Dragon, a thousand miles of ice, and all the Krakens in the freeze are killed.
Another example is Wet, when Wetting grows into an adult fire dragon, a mouthful of dragon fire will spit out, and the sea water within a radius of dozens of miles will be evaporated, and the Kraken that blends into the sea will naturally disappear.
If you can find a way to put the Kraken in some separate container, it will be easy to deal with the Kraken.
From the very beginning, the Kraken was not characterized by its own strength.
Lu Xi sighed, so she would feel that the Kraken was dangerous, just because humans were too weak in this world.
The weak ones don't have a bit of a row.
While preparing a meal for the Kraken, Lu Xi also made breakfast for himself, Xiao Yuan, and Mi Qi.
The Kraken looked at Lu Xi's meal, imitating a handful of chopsticks and spoons made of seawater, and serving out the food in the pot one by one.
also learned from Lu Xi's appearance, let out a gentle breath, blew away the heat on the food, and then put it in his mouth.
Lu Xi regretfully withdrew her gaze from the human half of the Siren, she thought she could see the Kraken's abdomen become transparent.
I don't know if the body structure of the kraken is different from that of normal creatures, but anyway, the kraken feels the taste of the food made by Lu Xi.
With a look of surprise and satisfaction on her beautiful face, she ate all the food in several pots one after another, the kraken licked her lips, and looked at Lu Xi with a pair of beautiful eyes like the ocean, "You want more!" ”
Without waiting for Lu Xi to speak, the Kraken was already very sensible and put a boatload of big pearls up, highlighting a "rich, arrogant", even if the 21 dishes as a deposit have not been completed.
Lu Xi was not polite, they were all put away, and the system automatically calculated the number, 136 pieces...... It's not that there are only so many krakens, but that there are only so many on a small wooden boat.
Anyway, there was nothing else to do along the voyage of the adventure, so Lu Xi began to make fish for the Kraken to eat, calculating the happiness of the Kraken pearl in the account.
In the Spirit Farm, a silver boy stood blankly in place, "Miss Lucy? Venture? ”
