Thinking of this, Gu Xi stood up and, with several fish watching, stuck spikes into the plate shell of the snowman crab.

Then she instructed the octopus to exert its strength, press down its spikes, and pry up the hard shell on top.

Since she already had many legs, she generously gave all the meat on the plate to the sea creatures.

The octopus, rewarded by its owner, voluntarily took the lead and divided the meat inside its hard shell into many portions.

Of course, only marine mammals and the King Shark have it; other sharks don't.

The sea creatures, having received their reward, all devoured the Yeti Crab's flesh. Immediately afterward, Gu Xi felt a surge of spiritual energy.

She could clearly sense that this spiritual energy was coming from her fish. So she quickly opened the fish-keeping system to check on the fish's condition.

The rest of the positions remain unchanged, the only change being in the Mental Strength section.

At this moment, behind each fish, there is a red triangle that is placed upright.

Gu Xi checked the status update and discovered that this was actually an indicator of the increased mental energy accumulation. Although the added time was small, only 48 hours, every little bit helps, and it's better than nothing.

Gu Xi was shocked to see this; she hadn't expected that BOSS meat would have such benefits. So, should she kill more BOSSes?

Moreover, based on previous experience, she killed the Yeti Crab BOSS, so shouldn't there be other Yeti Crabs as well?

So, she's skipping the smaller monsters and going straight for the big ones? Could it be that this Yeti Crab boss is alone? Lost?

Gu Xi felt increasingly uneasy; something seemed off about this situation. Just to be safe, she decided to hurry on her way.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi quickly tidied up, returned to the ship, and continued sailing towards the treasure map.

**

On the 58th day of the sea calendar, the outside was covered in white snow. Gu Xi went to the window and watched the snowflakes falling from the sky onto the thin ice on the sea and melting into water droplets.

Yesterday the sky was clear and blue, but now it was gray and oppressive. After she finished washing up and getting dressed, she went to the deck and found that there was a thin layer of snow on it, and an octopus was rolling around on the snow with its belly up.

Gu Xi checked the temperature; it was -10℃.

Although she wasn't cold, she still unconsciously pulled her clothes closer together.

The sharks are moving more slowly now than yesterday, and there are more and more white ice floes.

Gu Xi squatted by the water's edge, poking the surface of the sea with her index finger. A thin layer of resistance broke through easily. She stretched out her palm and plunged vertically into the water. Once the water covered her fingers, she scooped up a spoonful. As she slightly parted her fingers, the seawater gushed down, leaving some small ice shards in her palm. Then, the heat from her palm melted the ice shards every few seconds.

Gu Xi: ...

She observed the water in the same way yesterday. Yesterday, although the water was cold, there were almost no ice crystals. Now, after one night, the sea temperature has dropped significantly. If this continues, the sea may freeze completely tomorrow or the day after.

Yesterday's attack by the Yeti Crab prevented the ship from being rebuilt, and it seems that this task will have to be postponed again. She needs to think of a way to keep the ship moving even when the sea freezes over due to insufficient fish-powered fuel. (This chapter has been read.
