My farm does not raise idle dragons
Chapter 154 The Siren’s Pearl
Even the small wooden boat that had been moving forward stayed calmly on the sea, seeming to have no motivation to move forward.
Lu Xi couldn't feel the siren's malice, so she slowly felt relieved. If the siren had any bad intentions, looking at the current situation, she would have returned to Lingnan Farm by touching a white light.
Of course, the main reason was the siren's song. Under this beautiful song, Lu Xi could not feel any guard or vigilance in his heart.
The Kraken is huge in size. Its upper body has a structure similar to that of a human body, while its lower body has a long fish tail, which adds up to a total length of more than ten meters - it looks more like a mermaid.
But it is different from the mermaid image that Lu Xi is familiar with. Mermaids seem to be a very sad existence, whether they turn into pearls when they shed tears, or turn into bubbles when they are hurt by love...
Sirens are extremely happy beings. They have no enemies on the seabed, can freely control the waves, and their sounds can confuse all life.
They can be said to be the "royal family" in the sea. They are free from any restraints and restrictions and have no worries.
There is no need to go to school or work, there is no mortgage or car loan, and there is nothing sad about it.
As for the pain of love... Lu Xi bluntly said that she did not think that a sea monster with a body length of more than ten meters would fall in love with most humans who were less than two meters tall.
On the other hand, there are many humans who have seen the Kraken before. When describing the Kraken, they all focus on describing the beauty of the Kraken and never mention that the Kraken's body is so huge.
If we knew that the length of the head and tail of the Kraken was more than ten meters, it is estimated that the popularity of the Kraken in human society would drop a lot.
Based on the imaginary illustrations Lu Xi saw in various drawing books, in human eyes, most sea monsters have a "petite" body shape of two to three meters. After all, the tail part of the fish takes up more than three-quarters of the body.
Think about the scenes where witnesses saw the siren. Most of them were attracted by the siren's song during stormy weather with poor lighting, and thus discovered the siren.
But often before humans get close... the ship has already disintegrated in the storm, and the siren is not a kind mermaid princess who is keen to save humans.
Therefore, basically the survivors have no close contact with the Kraken. In addition, their attention is almost attracted by the beauty of the Kraken, and it is difficult to pay attention to other places.
But Lu Xi turned around in his mind, and couldn't help but think that from such a long distance, he could still clearly see the appearance of the sea monster. If he ruled out the possibility that his eyesight was amazing, then the only option left was the sea monster's huge body.
Did he really not think of this possibility, or was it because he had a tacit agreement not to mention it in order to maintain Siren's status in human hearts and make his news more valuable?
Dirty, human society is really dirty.
The siren was still singing. Lu Xi stared at the siren's mouth for a long time and found that the siren did not sing with its mouth.
Also, the Kraken is not human.
"What do you want from me?" Lu Xi asked. Everyone else was hypnotized and fell asleep. Only he was awake. Who is the target? Isn't this very conspicuous?
After asking, Lu Xi's expression changed, and he added in a low voice, "Uh, can you understand what I said?"
"Hahaha" a burst of laughter came, and the siren's tail swung on the water, causing waves to pile up.
"Of course I can understand." A voice that was much sharper than a human voice, but not harsh, came.
Lu Xi opened his mouth slightly and looked at the sea monster. Not to mention, with this appearance, he really looked like a human being.
It's just that the voice is a bit indistinguishable, and the gender cannot be distinguished... The sea monster seems to have no gender. Although the upper body is similar to the human body structure, it is covered with a layer of tiny scales, with no obvious undulations.
Human skin cannot be soaked in water for a long time.
"This is what you threw into the sea, right?"
The siren spoke, and an object was taken out of the sea and thrown onto the cabin planks.
Lu Xi stared at the object and breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously. She was scared to death. She thought the sea monster was catching up with the "gold" she threw down.
What was hit by the sea monster on the wooden boat was a boiled fish bone.
Lu Xi usually prepares dinner more fully. It happened that he caught a boatload of fish in the afternoon, so he took out a few sea fish that seemed suitable for making fish soup and made fish soup.
Although Mickey eats a lot, she is still a human being and has no interest in chewing fish bones. She just wraps up the soup base.
Although Xiao Yuan is a silver wolf and looks very similar to a dog, its taste prefers soft and smooth foods such as pudding and custard. It doesn't like chewing bones, especially after it was stuck by a fish bone a long time ago.
Then, the remaining fish bones from cooking fish soup are sorted into kitchen waste and thrown into the sea together.
Normal sea fish are not interested in the corpses of the same kind that have been cooked with seasonings, but the sea monster was attracted by the wonderful fragrance emanating from the fish bones.
Not sure whether it was through taste or some function, the siren chased the small wooden boat all the way and clearly found Lu Xi, who made this delicious fish bone.
Lu Xi had a strange expression on his face. Maybe it was because Siren's attitude was too friendly when he was talking about the process, so he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you sure it's me and not her?"
Lu Xi pointed at Mickey, who was sitting and napping at the bow of the boat.
"I've seen her eat. It was a big pot, and it was very unpalatable. Even the fish didn't come over." The siren looked disgusted.
Mickey obviously often sails on the sea, especially in the past six months or so. He has seen a lot, and the Siren unconsciously paid attention to him.
The transmission of messages in the sea was much faster than Lu Xi imagined.
So Lu Xi knew how unpalatable Mickey's cooking was - there was no other way to dispose of it at sea, and all kinds of garbage were thrown directly into the sea, including Mickey's leftovers and pot water.
Wherever Mickey's wooden boat sailed, there were almost no fish in the shallow sea, all of which were smoked away by the unpleasant smell of her food.
This is also the reason for Mickey's giant fishing rod. The fishing rod she used at the beginning was actually about the same size as the fishing rod used by Lu Xi.
But because there are no fish in the shallow sea, Mickey can only continue to increase the size of the fishing rod and let it go into the deeper sea to catch fish.
Lu Xi couldn't help but glance at Mi Qi several times. What kind of unpalatable cooking must he have to do to achieve this effect? It's outrageous.
"What do you want me to do?" Lu Xi had some guesses in his heart, but still asked.
"You made something with it, I want to try it." The siren pointed to the fish bone and said.
However, compared to the ice dragon's unreasonable attitude and his attitude of wanting to eat the king's meal at any time, the siren is obviously much more sensible.
As the Siren's arm was raised, a bunch of messy items fell on the cabin.
There are gold jewelry, various types of jewelry, even boxes of gold coins, and many unknown metal materials.
"Can these be used as my reward?"
Lu Xi stood up and picked them up one by one to inspect them. At first glance, they were all good things. However, when he got closer, he could see that these items were full of traces of being soaked in water. It is valuable, but the value must be discounted a lot. The archaeological value may be higher, but it seems that "antiques" have not become popular in other worlds.
Especially these gold coins, which are hundreds of years old, the patterns on them have become blurred, and the color 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 mint it into gold coins. If you go back and forth, you will lose a lot of value.
Of course, for ordinary humans, these things are definitely still valuable. Even if part of the value is lost, the overall preciousness is self-evident.
This ship...and obviously more than one ship, is comparable to the wealth of a small to medium-sized noble family.
However, Lu Xi was really not short of money. In other words, a piece of ice dragon scale was worth a few ships, so she didn't show much excitement on her face.
Before the sea monster could ask, Lu Xi opened his mouth and spoke first, "The ice dragon said that it often trades with your sea monster. What does it trade? Can I take a look?"
The siren tilted its head, looking very surprised that Lu Xi knew the ice dragon. However, it did not detect the smell of lies, so it did not suspect that Lu Xi was lying.
"You probably won't like it." The siren answered honestly, "The ice dragon wants all worthless things."
There was a clear feeling in his tone that the ice dragon was being taken advantage of.
Lu Xi was surprised. Did the Siren actually know what was "valuable" and "not valuable"?
But think about it, the siren can speak human language, and must have a lot of understanding of humans, so it will be easier to understand the origin of the concept of money.
"The ice dragon only wants food, fish, big fish." The sea monster explained to Lu Xi.
The ice dragon is of the same series as the ice element and water element. It usually needs to eat a lot of water element monsters to fill its stomach. Although it only eats it once every six months or a year, considering the size of the ice dragon, the amount at one time is That's enough.
However, it was not only difficult to find a sufficient number of water elemental monsters on land, but also troublesome, so the Ice Dragon thought of a way to trade with the Kraken.
The sea monsters live on the bottom of the sea and can control the waves and all kinds of sea fish. The most indispensable thing on the bottom of the sea is all kinds of huge sea fish... By the way, sea fish are all water element attributes, no one will doubt this.
Although there will be some sea fish with other elemental attributes, the probability is much lower than on land.
So just by spending some elemental stones, you can easily harvest dozens of sea fish as food. In Binglong's heart, there is simply no more suitable deal than this.
Because there are too many fish in the sea, the value here to the Kraken is no different from the grass on the ground. He even told Lu Xi bluntly that the thing had no value and only the ice dragon would trade it.
Lu Xi had no opinion on Ice Dragon, but she thought about it and asked, "What about the elemental stones that Ice Dragon traded to you?"
There are too few sources of elemental stones. Even if Lu Xi has saved a lot of them, it is a good thing to find other sources.
The Krakens have traded with the ice dragon so many times, so they must have stored a lot of elemental stones.
"Elemental stone, no." Unexpectedly, the siren rejected Lu Xi.
"Why?" Lu Xi asked subconsciously. He felt it was inappropriate to ask, and quickly raised his head to see the siren's expression.
Siren's expression didn't change, and he didn't feel offended by Lu Xi's question. He actually started to explain it to Lu Xi.
This siren has such a nice personality! Lu Xi was deeply moved.
According to the Siren, it is very difficult for their species to have offspring because, unlike humans and monsters, they do not reproduce through mating.
To put it bluntly, it's actually more like splitting and merging.
It means that a piece of slime-like viscous liquid falls off each of the two sea monsters, and then merges with each other, and finally forms a new sea monster life.
The problem lies in the fusion. I don’t know why, the fusion process of the descendants of the Kraken is failing more and more, and there are fewer and fewer new Krakens.
The elemental stone was discovered accidentally, and its function can stabilize the life of the merging sea monsters and increase the number of newborn sea monsters.
The Sirens were not worried about what threat Lu Xi would pose to their "cubs" after hearing about this.
It's so funny that even the giant dragon can't reach the bottom of the sea. The ice dragon needs to trade to get the fish in the sea, let alone the little 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 turned his attention in other directions. The ice dragon's scales can be sold to the game system and exchanged for elemental stones. So is there anything in the Kraken that has such value?
Lu Xi's first reaction was "ambergris". Well, although this thing is just the excrement of whales, it is really valuable among humans.
The second is "pearls". Stories such as the mermaid's tears have brought a lot of bonuses to pearls, but they also illustrate the charm of pearls.
Again, it should be "coral". Natural coral is colorful and is extremely beautiful as a decoration.
Probably because humans have not explored the ocean enough, coral is not popular among the aristocrats of other worlds - but it doesn't matter, Lu Xi can be the first person to eat crabs.
Oh yes, there are also crabs. It has been so long since Lu Xi came to this other world that he has never eaten a big crab. Recalling the taste of crabs, Lu Xi couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Considering that the siren might also be a type of fish, with a small ten-meter-long fish tail after all, Lu Xi skipped the word "ambergris".
She was afraid that asking for a kind of sea fish excrement would offend the sea monster... What was the difference between asking for Lu Xi's "gold"?
As for the "coral", its value was not yet clear. To be on the safe side, Lu Xi asked the Siren for pearls.
"Pearls? Those kind of small beads, we also like them very much." The siren smiled, raised his arm, and dozens of football-sized pearls fell in front of Lu Xi.
Lu Xi looked at the sea monster, and then at the football-sized pearl in front of him. For the size of the sea monster, these things were indeed small beads.
But for humans, this size is a bit too exaggerated.
It's a bit too funny to think about those aristocratic ladies carrying pearls of this size and making them into jewelry...
However, Lu Xi was not in a hurry to refuse. She did not forget that her goal 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 "Siren's Pearl x 21". Each pearl can be converted into 1000 low-level elemental stones/100 intermediate elemental stones/10 high-level elemental stones. 】
Done! Lu Xi's eyes lit up.
Hahahaha, a feint! Didn't you guess it?
