"What treasure?" After hearing Gu Shi's mumbling, Thanos swam to his side in a few seconds.

Since the true identity of the treasure has been revealed, Gu Shi naturally has no intention of hiding it. He told Thanos the whole story.

"I see. So you followed its guidance to come here." Thanos put on a thoughtful expression. "What about that strange ocean current we encountered then..."

"Yes, it was also summoned by it." Gu Shi confirmed Thanos's guess.

Thanos showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, "No wonder you asked me to leave you behind and go first."

Gu Shi apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to involve you."

Thanos shook his head and said, "It's okay. I chose to stay at that time. I had already guessed about the connection between that stream of water and you.

And now it seems that I have benefited from it, right? So, I should be taking advantage of you."

After explaining the matter about the treasure, the two chatted for a while, and then Gu Shi began to arrange the next schedule with Thanos.

Gu Shi said, "Since we've already accepted its commission, it's almost time for us to take action. Thanos, how are you doing now?"

Thanos replied, "I'm fine."

"Okay, then we'll use this area as the center and start clearing out the shadows in all directions. By the way, have you asked it how many shadows there are in this city?"

"I don't know about that either."

Hearing Thanos' answer, Gu Shi couldn't help but press his temples. According to their previous experience, there must be a lot of dark shadows in this city.

They are not robots, so it is impossible for them to fight all day and all night. They definitely need time to rest. By this calculation, it will probably take a lot of time.

"Forget it, there's no point thinking so much now. It's better to take action quickly." After comforting himself, Gu Shi prepared to set off with Thanos.

In order to guard against the powerful black shadow they had encountered before, the two men simply fought guerrilla warfare around this safe zone, changing areas to fight every once in a while.

It was not known whether the black shadow had gone somewhere else. Anyway, they had not met him again until Gu Shi and the others were ready to finish their work.

"Huh, let's stop here for today."

Gu Shi stretched out his body. The long period of high-intensity fighting made him feel a little tired.

Thanos put away his weapon and said, "I'm a little tired now. The shadows here are much stronger than those outside."

Gu Shi agreed, "Yeah, luckily they don't have much intelligence, so the flaws are easy to find. Otherwise, we would be trapped here and die."

Thanos counted their harvest for the day, "We've harvested nine scales in total today, not bad."

Gu Shi recalled today's battle. "If it weren't for that black shadow who was particularly good at hiding and took up so much time, our gains today would have been in double digits."

The two quickly returned to the transparent coral with the newly acquired scales.

Thanos handed the scales to the coral bush, and after the familiar process, he injected magic power into the two of them again.

Gu Shi closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in the magic power in his body. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that this external magic power carried an indescribable moist breath.

Last time, because he was facing advancement, Gu Shi’s attention was all focused on the breakthrough, so the feeling was not as profound as this time.

Is it because of the mermaid?

Despite this, these magic powers did not have any effect on Gu Shi's body. As long as he was willing to spend more time, he could eliminate all the characteristics of these foreign magic powers and let them merge with his own magic power.

In order to ensure his own safety, Gu Shi conducted a comprehensive examination of his body after successfully advancing.

In addition to checking it bit by bit himself, Gu Shi also used the expensive disposable testing props prepared for him by Field, but found no problems.

Only after this double confirmation did Gu Shi dare to continue to accept the magic from the coral reef.

As for Thanos, although he said that he had regained consciousness, Gu Shi could see that he was still very close to and trusted the consciousness in the coral reef, and had never had any doubts about it.

Although he didn't know whether the testing props given by Field would be effective on mermaids, Gu Shi still secretly checked Thanos. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the result.

When Gu Shi had integrated the magic power in his body and opened his eyes again, he was surprised to find that Salos had obtained a huge shell from somewhere.

"Thanos? What are you doing? And where did this shell come from?"

Gu Shi looked left and right, and always felt that the shell was somewhat familiar. It took him more than ten seconds to remember that this was the Sea Dew Crystal Shell!

Thanos poked his head out from behind the shell, "Ah, Gu Shi, you're awake. I'm setting up our next camp."

"As for this shell..."

Thanos stretched out his hand and knocked hard on the shell. As he moved, the huge shell slowly opened, revealing a large bed that looked very soft and comfortable.

Thanos introduced: "This is the shell bed of our mermaids, just like your human tents, it is a very common outdoor living equipment.

I've prepared one for you, too. It's over there."

Thanos is not the kind of person who would treat himself badly in life. He didn't take out the bed because the two of them were always on the road.

But they will definitely stay in this safe zone permanently. In this case, they must make good preparations.

Gu Shi looked in the direction of Thanos' finger to the other side, where there was also a shell bed of the same size.

Gu Shi smiled and said, "Thank you. With this shell bed, I think I will have a good dream tonight."

For a long time before, Gu Shi had to make do with a rock at night, and he never slept well. However, many things were no longer useful at the bottom of the sea, and he had no way to improve his quality of life even if he wanted to.

Now the bed that Thanos took out can be considered to have helped him solve his urgent problem.

Thanos waved his hand, "It's just a bed. Consider it a gift from me to you. You're also the first human friend I've ever made."

Gu Shi asked doubtfully, "I see you have quite a bit of contact with humans?"

Thanos explained: "I only started to be responsible for transactions with humans two years ago. During this period, most of the people I came into contact with were trading partners. Apart from business, we rarely had any personal relationships with each other.

And most of those humans have some bad thoughts about my face, so I don’t really want to interact with them.”

"I see."

Gu Shi glanced at Thanos' face and was not surprised.
