"Why don't you just give in to him..." Xu Xing casually said to Xiao Hong.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hong was stunned for a moment. Zhou Shen's scales suddenly trembled uncontrollably, and instantly, a curtain of water was blasted open on the surrounding water surface, splashing outwards.
However, the water curtain was deliberately avoided when it passed Xu Xing, which shows that Xiao Hong is still somewhat rational and knows who she should and should not provoke.
Little Red's face was full of sorrow, and she vowed to tell Su Xixi on her when she got home.
Xu Xing did not blame Xiao Hong for her emergency response.
What he said before, while joking, actually contained some of his true thoughts.
If Xiao Hong and this mutated dolphin really get along well, wouldn't that mean Xu Xing indirectly controls such a large area of the surrounding ocean?
This place is located at the mouth of the sea, with countless kinds of fish resources, and there is no need to worry about them being seized by other forces.
However, judging from Xiaohong's expression, it's clear that there's no chance. After all, this kind of thing can't be forced into doing something.
When Xu Xing turned his gaze back to the outer perimeter, he discovered that the leading mutated dolphin was staring intently at them, its eyes practically overflowing with desire.
It gives me the creeps.
This dolphin is very intelligent. In a very short time, it already knows who is in charge here. Once Xu Xing is dealt with, perhaps everything in its path can be easily resolved.
"Human, I wonder what your relationship is with him."
"The mutant dolphin," he asked symbolically.
"I am his master." Xu Xingyi said righteously, as if he were someone else's possession.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hong opened his fish-like mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed it back.
Although her rightful master is Miss Su Xixi, who is gentle, kind, and generous, she can't help but feel that the person in front of her is also her second master.
"Owner?"
The mutated dolphin is incredible. How could this little red dolphin, which carries a trace of dragon blood, possibly have fallen to the point of needing to find a master?
Xu Xing sensed the dolphin's unusual movement and immediately released his mental power, causing the pressure around the dolphin to increase sharply, and a strong pressure spread out.
It seems to be saying, "I can wipe you out in an instant."
Finally, the dolphin was smart enough to lower its head first.
His action was not one of submission, but rather a gesture of respect for the stronger party.
"Hello human, my name is Dawson, and I am the only king of this sea. All of you around here are members of my family."
Hundreds of other dolphins broke free from the encirclement of numerous marine creatures and flowed behind Dawson.
These mutated dolphins, though not as large as Dawson's, are still capable of overwhelming other creatures around them.
A dark mass of spines appeared, creating a sense of oppression.
Xu Xing sighed. No wonder he was able to suppress Xiao Hong here. There were so many mutated dolphins, more than he had estimated. Even he wouldn't dare to confront them head-on.
"Hello Dawson, my name is Xu Xing. I have no ill intentions in coming here. I just want to take Xiao Hong back with me."
After Xu Xing introduced himself, he stated his purpose, which was, after all, one of the main objectives.
"this……"
Dawson seemed a little troubled. He rubbed his long, sharp beak together, as if he was thinking about something.
He glanced at Xu Xing again, then turned his head with a determined look and plunged into the sea.
"What's going on? Running away at the drop of a hat? Shouldn't I be the one running away?"
Xu Xing was still pondering whether this was some kind of conspiracy by Dawson, and he secretly released his telekinetic power, preparing to take action at any time, or to escape with Xiao Hong.
However, after waiting for a long time without any response, just as he was getting impatient and about to ask the other dolphins for help...
Suddenly, an extremely fast figure darted out from the sea, moving at an incredible speed. It left a trail of afterimages on the sea, cutting through waves that stretched for hundreds of meters.
Then, Dawson swam over with a large round ball in his mouth.
"Smack!"
Dawson had barely arrived when he spat out the large sphere, which flew towards Xu Xing and was caught by him.
"A pearl made from a sea clam?" Xu Xing exclaimed in surprise after he saw the object in his hand clearly.
The object in Xu Xing's hand was round, about the size of an ostrich egg, with a smooth, rounded surface and a milky white luster. It was also quite heavy and felt substantial in his hand.
"This is a real gem," Xu Xing muttered to himself.
In his previous life, he had heard of and even possessed such a "sea clam pearl," but the one he had back then was not as big as the one before him, only slightly larger than a goose egg.
Xu Xing had to go to great lengths to snatch it; its value could even be exchanged for thousands of crystal cores.
Unlike crystal cores, this kind of thing that can directly enhance strength also works on the human body.
"Sea mussels and pearls have beauty and skin-nourishing effects, and can rejuvenate both men and women. Other creatures can also benefit from this."
Furthermore, it is believed that the pearl possesses aphrodisiac properties, with the larger the pearl, the stronger this effect.
It is said that someone once fed a "sea clam pearl" the size of a basketball to the king of an eighth-level mutated elephant tribe.
This caused him to unleash his bestial nature, ultimately ravaging and killing a large number of other creatures around him, resulting in a human tragedy.
"If you like it, I'll just give it to you. It's not really useful anyway." Dawson was very generous and offered to give it away.
Xu Xing looked at Dawson, then at Xiao Hong, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart.
Perhaps, if I had arrived any later, there might have been a slight chance that I could have made things between them.
“That’s right. In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony. Perhaps we can cooperate in many areas in the future.”
Xu Xing silently put away the "sea clam pearl" in a small black bag and carried it on his waist, while moving closer to Dawson.
Dawson also had his own plans.
It's definitely impossible to take Xiaohong by force. Rather than suffering losses and getting nothing in return, it's better to just make friends.
Xu Xing was thinking about this ocean, but he was also thinking about the great rivers.
Although it is certainly not as vast as the ocean, the competition there is relatively less, which can serve as a fallback plan for the future.
Since he gained intelligence, apart from Xu Xing, there has been no other being that could threaten him, which was once humanity's greatest natural enemy.
But in the depths of the ocean, there are still enormous creatures like mutated killer whales, which are now their family's greatest enemies.
"Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, I should take my men and head back first." Xu Xing didn't want to get entangled in the matter for the time being; the ocean was too vast and too dangerous.
Staying any longer increases the chances of things changing. I'm not in any particular trouble myself, but preserving some of my underlings is a way to build up strength for the future.
