The sea goddess is in danger.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kuwano taught the Shiokai people basic cooking skills and how to prepare various fish when he went ashore during his free time. The Shiokai people learned very quickly.

As for the cookware and ingredients needed, additional payments will be made to Kuwano based on the cooperation between the Chaohai Clan and the base.

Lilybeth was very grateful to Sangye. "Mental disturbances have always been a major problem for our clan. My mother can't come back at fixed times to mentally sort out all the clan members. It's good that you came. Otherwise, when the base is sometimes unable to provide support in time, we would have to ask free guides to come and help."

"Freelance guide"?

Seeing the puzzled look on Sangye's face.

"Don't you know?" Lilybet stared intently as everyone counted and transported the ingredients. Some were moved to a dry, temperature-controlled room, another part was placed in an ice house, and some seeds were planted in the spiritual soil gifted by Sangye—a field specially dug out on Amoli Island for planting.

Lilybeth kept her hands and mouth busy explaining to Kuwano.

Guides are scarce, and the vast majority of them choose to work in the military, hospitals, and government, where the pay is high and the job is more respectable; this is especially true for high-ranking guides.

Military and government guides only provide mental support to sentries in specific departments.

Hospitals are the main channel for ordinary and retired sentries to receive mental rehabilitation, and they also receive national medical subsidies.

However, some guides are freelancers. They travel the stars, cherish freedom, and have no fixed abode, never staying in one place for long. These guides are either backed by family assets or take on private jobs, providing mental counseling to sentinels in need. Relatively speaking, their prices are much higher than those of hospitals.

The Imperial Legion will also maintain a good cooperative relationship with them, as the Legion has the greatest need for mental cleansing.

This is also true for some very powerful families.

So when the tribe has an urgent need, Lilybet will contact the outside world and ask a free guide to come and help.

These guides are also known as "underground guides" because they also take huge risks to travel to planets that are not freely accessible, all for money.

Kuwano learned something new. As for how Lilybet contacted these guides, and how they arrived on the heavily guarded Black Tower Star...

Sangye didn't ask any more questions.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Kuwano is the savior of the Chaohai tribe.

In the days following the deployment of the underwater forest, the first wave of sea monsters arrived silently one day.

It was completely different from the ugly and ferocious sea monster that Kuwano had imagined.

Some of them have round heads, like clownfish; some have small heads and knife-like bodies, like knifefish; some are long like seaweed, with colorful phosphorescence, like ribbonfish.

There are also narrow-bodied, bright red grouper, silvery-white sardines, and flat, spotted turbot...

There are also ornamental fish of various shapes and colors.

It turns out that the sea beasts mentioned by the Chaohai people were actually sea fish.

These sea fish are slightly different in shape from what Kuwano remembered, but they are roughly the same.

Because it absorbed radiation from the minerals in the tidal bore, it became mutated and inedible.

As for the ferocious "sea monsters" described, Kuwano had a general idea.

Highly venomous sea snakes, ferocious alligator gars, pike, piranhas, sharks, deadly jellyfish, giant squid with many tentacles, enormous whales, and killer whales, known as the rulers of the ocean.

These behemoths likely evolved generation after generation through long periods of ocean radiation, becoming larger and more ferocious; some may even have even developed intelligence.

Because they feed on radiation and mental energy, they need to live near actual deep-sea mineral veins. In addition, the Tide Sea Clan is powerful and has the assistance of the base, which is why they can maintain a symbiotic relationship where they do not interfere with each other.

These first wave of fish that surged ashore were just ordinary fish, happily swimming in the underwater forest, clearly enjoying their new environment.

“These little fish are also a problem,” Lilybett said, looking at their calm appearance and feeling a little more at ease. “They come in huge numbers, like a dark tsunami. We’ll get lost in the schools of fish, and the abundance of them will deplete the oxygen, making it impossible for us to breathe. In severe cases, we can even be crushed to death.”

Large sea monsters present a different level of difficulty, but they are also relatively less susceptible to fluctuations in mental energy.

Sangye was curious whether these sea fish could be purified. She quickly grabbed a "knife fish," which was terrified and struggled wildly in her hand.

Sangye focused his mental energy, attempting to sweep the area up and down, but the fish, clearly lacking intelligence, didn't even have a mental entry point.

After failing to get what he wanted, Kuwano reluctantly let it go.

With a flick of its tail, the knife fish darted away.

Lilybet was curious about what Kuwano was doing.

After Kuwano explained, Lilybet exclaimed "Ah!" and suddenly understood. She then comforted her, "It's alright. If there's an underwater forest, these little sea beasts will come and breed. It won't take more than a few generations to purify them, and then they'll be ready to eat."

While Sangye was studying aquaculture, Lin Changli suddenly appeared in front of them riding a long sea beast.

Sangye was startled and subconsciously looked to his side.

This creature resembles a giant python, but it has distinct features, long and wide ears that are almost half the length of its body, and is entirely white with a shimmering phosphorescence. Its ears and tail are covered with sharp scales that are as brightly colored as flowers, making it exquisitely beautiful.

It looked aggrieved and pitiful as it gazed at the people in front of it.

Lin Changli grabbed its ear and stopped. After that, it barked at Lin Changli a few times, its voice as soft and gentle as a child's.

“Sea Goddess!” Lilibet swam forward. “How did Your Highness find it?”

"It was sneaking around in the seabed crevice, trying to bite me, but I spotted it." Lin Changli patted its head. "I thought it would be a good mount, so I brought it back."

The sea beast, whom Lilybet called "Sea Goddess," glanced at Lin Changli furtively but dared not move.

Lin Changli sneered: "Stop pretending. You were just trying to bite me."

Lilybet pulled out several bottles of highly concentrated tranquilizers from her spatial button; they resembled blocks of milk and could float on water.

“The Sea Goddess never attacks us Tide Sea Clan. She probably has never seen a human with legs,” Lilibet replied, feeding the Sea Goddess a calming agent. “The Sea Goddess has saved us many times. Once, during a beast tide, she ate a school of fish surrounding our children and led them to escape to a crevice in the sea. The Sea Goddess is the fastest sea beast; even we Tide Sea Clan can’t catch her.”

The sea goddess was clearly an intelligent sea creature.

Sangye couldn't resist touching its beautiful, soft ears. The spiritual energy emanating from the guide made the sea goddess feel comfortable and at ease, so she couldn't help but come closer and rub against her.

Compared to Lin Changli's previous violent response, the Sea Goddess turned to look at him and rolled her eyes.

The little phoenix almost rushed up and pecked its eyes.

Sangye searched through his storage ring and tried feeding it raw beef.

The sea goddess swallowed it in one gulp, her eyes instantly lighting up. She kept nuzzling Sangye's hand, signaling her to continue feeding her.

Sangye fed it more than 20 jin (10 kg) before it was full.

After eating, the sea goddess became noticeably more "loyal" to Sangye. She would circle around Sangye without Lin Changli having to hold her ears, and even let Sangye hold her ears and swim with her.

Sangye held its round head and asked Lin Changli, "How are the sea beasts doing?"

"No movement. The large sea beasts are still within our control, but they seem quite angry when they see me," Lin Changli said casually. "Don't worry too much. The large sea beasts have experienced the base's firepower. When they can control themselves, they won't provoke us."

Sangye was relieved. "Then I'll go with Lilybet to check on the growth progress of the underwater forest. You go back and wait for me."

Lin Changli was unwilling: "I'll go with you, it's very close to the deep sea there."

“No need, Lilybet is still with me, and there’s no beast tide right now,” Sangye patted his shoulder. “Good boy, go back and prepare the vegetables first. Peel the chestnuts, take out the chicken wings to thaw, make some cuts, marinate them, and cook the rice too. I’ll make you chestnut chicken wings when I get back tonight.”

Sang Ye, riding on the sea goddess, waved to Lin Changli: "Don't secretly put in any sugar! Otherwise..." She raised her fist at Lin Changli.

The little phoenix jumped onto the sea goddess's head, making her shake unhappily.

Lin Changli smiled and nodded as he looked at Sangye's aggressive demeanor.

With a spiritual entity by her side, she can cope with any special circumstances.

The Chaohai tribe had no planting experience other than the King Coral, and unsurprisingly, Sangye saw the crooked and twisted aquatic plants and vegetation.

She inspected them and straightened them as she went.

The underwater forest was growing rapidly, but it had not yet reached maturity. Sangye did not know how many more days the beast tide could last, so he released his mental energy to accelerate the growth of the underwater plants, just like the mental sentinels.

She even released the spiritual form of the phoenix tree to assist in the release of her spiritual power.

Perhaps it was the feedback from the healing of the Chaohai Clan and Lin Changli's spiritual energy that made Sangye vaguely feel that his spiritual energy level was close to a breakthrough, and he was able to release more spiritual energy recently.

The little phoenix swam aimlessly nearby, and soon swam over to a swaying king coral to play with.

The spiritual body is just like a child.

Lilybeth led her people on their way to the new region.

This protective forest was built on the deep-sea cliff, serving as the first line of defense.

In their relaxed state, no one noticed a pair of orange-yellow eyes, gleaming with a fierce light, slowly rising from the cliff edge.

Surrounding its enormous body was a dense, dark school of fish.

The fish swam rapidly around the axis, forming small eddies, with seawater rushing around them, creating sharp, razor-sharp currents.

It suppressed its spiritual power, not revealing a trace of it. The intelligent deep-sea behemoth was like a human, lurking in the shadows.

It stared intently at the red-haired woman radiating immense spiritual power right in the center of its vision. The spiritual power felt so comforting, like the most beautiful dream.

The underwater forest also swayed and grew rhythmically under the influence of her spiritual power.

Until the sea goddess let out a shrill scream, it was filled with terror, like the cry of a baby.

In that instant, the deep sea water boiled.

*

Lin Changli had just peeled a large bowl of chestnuts. Following Sangye's instructions, he brushed the chestnuts with honey and baked a small plate of them in the oven.

The kitchen was filled with a sweet aroma.

In Lin Changli's mental landscape, the small sycamore tree suddenly rustled rapidly, and the scorched earth around it had been restored into a green meadow, where wildflowers bloomed.

But now the wildflowers are all withering away.

"Save her! Please save her! She's in grave danger!"

The first time Little Wutong spoke, it was a plea for help.

The chestnut in Lin Changli's hand fell with a thud, as if it had hit his heart.
