Chapter 538 Picking up the sea
Hang up the phone on the 15th, end the conversation with Aurora, and return the phone to Mio, but the latter's hands and face are covered with wet sand, like a husky that just rolled in the sand .

What the Red Leaf Academy will do next is none of her business. Most likely, it should be as she said, take the dead dog back, and then negotiate with the Suzerain to send the dog's body to the unnamed island in the south.

There are many isolated islands like this in the south of the mainland, most of which have no names, and there are no people on the island. The Ninja Academy bought several for storage many years ago, and one of them was used as a breeding ground for cloning technology. Scientists have regular ships to deliver supplies, and the sea as a barrier can prevent cloned animals from escaping.

"Put it anywhere!" Mio didn't bother to pick up the phone. Today, if the teacher hadn't stressed that she would take the phone with her to receive push notifications, she wouldn't bring her phone.

Mio’s trouser legs and sleeves were rolled up high, and her shoes were taken off. She squatted barefoot on the beach and vigorously built a sandcastle. Not long after she called on the 15th, she actually built a sandcastle that had begun to take shape. Sandcastle.

"Come on! Take a picture of me!" Mio raised his hands and made a V sign, asking No. 15 to take a picture of her with the sandcastle as the background.

On the 15th, he crossed the phone and took a picture. When he looked at the photo, he found that Rafael was also photographed in the corner of the photo.

After arriving at the beach, Rafa stood quietly, but she didn't know when it started. She stood on the reef in the tide, holding a bow and arrow in her hand, as if she was staring down at the sea.

No. 15 only knew a little bit about Rafael's past, and she was about to call Rafael back, because the tide was high, when she saw the latter suddenly draw an arrow and bow like lightning, and there was a thick sound wave, Even the sound of the tide couldn't be overshadowed, and a sharp arrow roared out of the string.

Just at this time, the impact of the sea tide on the reef caused a huge wave nearly two meters high, and the blue waves fiercely blocked the front of the arrow, but this arrow actually tore a gap in the water wall, and shot into it unabated. in the water.

No. 15 was shocked when the wall of water smashed towards Lafayette's head and face. The impact force of this water wave probably weighed several tons, and she thought it would definitely knock Lafei away from the reef.

However, the waves turned into flying pearls and broken jade, and Rafael's figure only shook a few times, but still stood on the reef without moving. On the 15th, she saw her toes buckled down, as if she was holding the reef with her toes.

Immediately afterwards, the next wave came again, this wave was not as strong as the previous wave, and there was a certain black shadow in the wave, Rafael had quick eyes and hands, and reached out to catch the wave when it hit the ground, and when the wave hit the ground, 15 It was only then that she realized that what she was holding was actually a grouper pierced by an arrow, weighing more than ten catties.

Raphael drew the arrow from the fish, flicked it back casually, and threw the twitching dead fish onto the beach. The special clothes on her body didn't get a single drop of water.

On the 15th, he did not expect that Rafael still had such abilities. Eyesight, leg strength, balance and archery seemed to be innately trained for shooting fish at the seaside. It would be impossible without several years of hard training.

Anyway, at least lunch is settled.

"This one fish is enough, you don't need to shoot anymore." She shouted to Raphael's back, but the latter ignored her, staring at the sea surface, seemingly dissatisfied.

No. 15 did not force her, and found a sheltered water puddle among the reefs, drew out a short knife to open up the grouper, collected some branches from nearby, and lit a fire to grill the fish.

At this moment, other people are looking for Yinyi Monkey in Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, but the three of them are lazy here, and no one feels guilty.

When the fish is done grilling, she calls for Mi-ho to wash her hands and eat.

It’s been a long time since Mio had such fun and no pressure. Apart from some complaints about not buying watermelon on the 15th road, which made her unable to play the blindfolded watermelon game, she already regards the 15th as her confidant—her principles are very Simple, whoever plays with her can increase her favorability.

"It's delicious! You can be my bride!" Mio ate with half a grilled fish full of praise, but the taste was too poor.

"Thank you so much."

It's a pity that it is not served with rice, otherwise it would be more delicious.

The two of them ate until they were full, but there was still a lot of fish left. There was no other way, since Raphael didn't need to eat, so he could only waste it.

While they were cooking and eating, Rafi shot and killed more than a dozen fish, which were not small in size. On the 15th, Jiang Chanji thought that if Jiang Chanji took Rafei to sell fish at a stall, they should be able to get rid of poverty and become rich, but the distance to the beach is not enough. close.

Mio started to play again after eating the fish, she lost interest in the sandcastle, and started to pick up the sea for fun, because the sea washed up some shells, fish, crabs, jellyfish and so on on the beach when the tide was just high.

Raphael was still shooting fish tirelessly. On the 15th, he was bored and found a comfortable reef to lean against, basking in the afternoon sun and began to take a nap.

In the dimness, No. 15 noticed something approaching on tiptoe, and her feet creaked slightly on the sand. Her first reaction was that of a hidden monkey. Her body jumped up like a spring, and she made a gesture to draw a knife with one hand, while the other hand was ready to go. Snapping her fingers—this was her body's instinctive reaction, and she forgot that Yinyi Monkey didn't like snapping her fingers.

But when she took a closer look, she couldn't laugh or cry. It turned out that Mio was playing tricks again. There was a strange thing on Mio's head trying to scare her while she was dozing off. Unexpectedly, she was also alert when she was dozing off. Instead, she was caught. She was so frightened that she sat down on the beach, and the strange thing rolled to the side.

"Hate it! Why are you scaring people!" Mio blamed confidently.

No. 15 already knew Mio's character very well, and was about to confuse a few words when he caught sight of that strange thing and immediately attracted his attention.

She walked to the side of the strange thing, knelt down to look at it carefully, and asked, "What is this?"

"Big head!" Mio forgot what happened just now, stood up, squatted beside her, and said enthusiastically.

"Big head?" No. 15 was taken aback, "What is big head? Is it a local common name?"

Fishermen in many coastal areas have localized names for marine life, and few have scientific names. For example, brine shrimp has a very bluffing common name-sea dragon.

"Hey! That's the name I gave it!" Mio pointed at his face happily, "Doesn't it look like a big head?"

On the 15th, she knew that she shouldn't have unrealistic expectations of Mio. How could she know the common names of sea creatures?For her, all fish can be summed up by the word "fish".

This strange thing... How should I put it, it looks a bit like a jack-o-lantern, which is the appearance of the Western Halloween after hollowing out the inside of the pumpkin and carving out eyes, noses, and mouths on the pumpkin skin.

But it could never be a pumpkin, much less a lantern, obviously the remains of some kind of sea creature.

Its general shape is similar to that of a jack-o-lantern, and its size is also close to that of a larger pumpkin. It is hollow inside and has holes similar to eyes, nose, and mouth. The flesh looks like some kind of jelly. No. 15 picked up a branch After poking it, there is still cartilage inside the meat, but I don’t know what is going on with the hollow inside, maybe it was eaten by scavenging fish, shrimp and crabs.

"Where did this thing come from?" asked Number 15.

Mio pointed to the sea, and said as if asking for credit: "The one that was washed up by the sea just now is about to be swept back by the sea again, so I picked it up!"

On the 15th, she looked at the sea. It was as if nothing had happened in the sea. The ebb and flow of the tide has never changed. There are many secrets hidden under the tide.

Mio still wanted to pick it up and put it on his head to scare Rafi, but No. 15 whipped her on her hand with a branch and told her to wash her hands in the sea. Mio reluctantly went, muttering Blame 15 for trying to keep her new toy for herself.

No. 15 knows that there are many creatures in the sea that humans have never seen before. It seems that according to scientists' speculation, the types of marine life known to mankind only account for a few percent of the total number of marine life, but most of the strange and mysterious sea dwellers live in the sea. In the deep sea or the bottom of the sea, there is no intersection with the range of human activities, and ordinary people basically will not encounter them.

There are often strange news on the Internet, saying that the wreck of a sea monster was stranded on a beach in a certain place, and some even said that it was a legendary dragon. However, after testing by scientists, the so-called dragon is often a marine creature such as an oarfish... …In short, such things are not new, but in these incidents, can each wreck that washes up on the beach be equated with some known creature?This is not necessarily the case, and no one seems to have counted it. Anyway, this kind of news will be forgotten by the public in a few days, and the wreckage itself will soon rot and become a delicious meal for carrion seabirds.

The thing that Mio picked up is probably the remains of some kind of deep-sea creature, right?
Although it is not clear whether marine biologists can recognize the remains of what kind of animal this is, anyway, No. 15 cannot recognize it. To put it bluntly, this thing looks like a head, but it may not be a head at all, and marine life basically does not grow. This kind of head... But it's not sure, there are too many weird-looking marine creatures, and some of them are almost like alien visitors.

Even if marine biologists don't know it, it's actually nothing. After all, there are so many marine creatures that humans have never seen, it's not worth making a fuss about.

Mio ran back after washing his hands, and said whimsically, "Take this 'big head' as a watermelon and let Lafei put it on top of it, how about playing blindfolded and smashing the watermelon?"

It seems that she doesn't understand at all why No. 15 asked her to wash her hands, and No. 15 doesn't understand why Mio, who looks so disgusting, can just pick it up and play with it. Normal people won't even touch it when they see such a strange thing Want to touch?

"Let's stop here today. It's time to get down to business." On the 15th, he looked at the time. It was already around two o'clock in the afternoon. The three of them stayed here for too long. Respond to the signal, if you stay here for a long time, Hongye Academy may think that something happened to them, and then send someone to look for them, only to find that they are having a great time.

"No! I still want to play!" Mio sat down on the ground, refusing to leave.

No. 15 didn't tell her any big reasons, but asked: "Of course you can continue playing, but there are still a few days left before the crusade against the hermit monkey. Do you want to have fun all day or every day? If someone finds out, we are in If you are lazy, you probably won't let us form a group of three."

Mio rolled his eyes and was easily persuaded. He patted his butt and reluctantly stood up, "Okay, what are you going to do then?"

"Even if it's just a pretense, go find the Cryptomonkey, in short, you can't stay here forever." No. 15 looked down at the weird wreckage again, "Let's walk along the coast and see if we can do anything." Find something interesting."

"Okay! But I have to buy a watermelon on the way back!" Mio bargained.

"Okay, remember to remind me."

No. 15 threw a small stone at Rafael's body, indicating that it was time for the latter to leave.

Raphael waded back to the shore, looked at the pile of dead fish he had thrown on the beach, seemed very satisfied with today's harvest, picked up the thin and soft branches, and skillfully passed through the gills of the fish, as if he wanted to kill the fish. Take them all.

No. 15 didn't want to take these smelly dead fish together, and the car rental company probably didn't want to either. She was thinking about how to get Rafa to give up these dead fish. At this time, Rafa noticed the "big head", and his eyes were firmly drawn Yes, forget about the dead fish for the time being.

Raffi stared at the "big head", and seemed to mutter a certain syllable in her throat, but her sanity was far from being recovered, and she was wearing a metal mask, the syllable was so blurred that she couldn't hear it clearly.

"What?" Number 15 approached Raphael, "Say it again?"

Rafa muttered a few more times, all with the same syllable, definitely not in Chinese, English, or Japanese.

On the 15th, I looked up Rafi's pronunciation with my mobile phone. It seems that the closest pronunciation is "Yasha" in Sanskrit. Of course, it may be a misunderstanding. Sound words.

If this wreck is really the head of some kind of sea creature, it would be as ugly and hideous as the mythical Yaksha.

On the 15th, he supported the "big head" with two branches, and led Raphael to a place where he couldn't see the pile of dead fish. The latter was at a loss, as if he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember it, and his thoughts seemed to be in a mess. thick fog.

"Let's take 'Big Head' away!" Mio suggested excitedly, "Take it back to scare Chanji Primary School girl!"

"...Your primary school girl, Chan Ji, doesn't seem to be the one who would be frightened by this thing." Number 15 said.

"Then scare Olala! Make her pee her pants! Meow ha ha ha!" Mio laughed wildly with his hips on his hips.

"Then I guess you will be beaten..."

No. 15 held the "big head" and sniffed it. It didn't have the fishy smell of common marine life. Instead, it had a... a fragrance similar to sandalwood. The smell is very light. It should not be rented in the car. The company is in trouble.

Partly out of curiosity, partly to coax Mio, No. 15 decided to put this thing in the trunk of the car and take it away with him, just hoping that the traffic police would not stop him on the road and check the trunk... Otherwise, I really can't tell.
