The sea otter Fugui was held hostage by the last thread of fate, and the whole otter was in a bad mood.
He used almost all his strength to try to break free from Xie Tianlang's large hand, but it was obviously useless - after he turned into a sea otter, his body size shrank by more than half. Moreover, sea otters are not ferocious beasts with great strength. They are cute little animals that only rub their faces and sunbathe!
Unable to break free from his struggles, the sea otter Fugui roared at Xie Tianlang. Of course, he wasn't foolish enough to speak human language and reveal his ability to transform. In fact, Fugui decided that as long as he remained in his sea otter form and stayed with these people, he would never transform into a human and expose his true identity.
Therefore, the roar that Gou Fugui roared from his chest and mouth wasn't the kind of vulgar insults like "Go to hell!" or "I'm your father!" but a series of indescribable cries belonging to a sea otter—
"Aiya ya—Aaaaaah!!"
Even if he roared with all his might, it was all for naught, completely lacking any power.
Xie Tianlang raised his eyebrows as he watched the sea otter struggling and squealing in his hand, even trying to scratch him with its tiny, short paws. This little thing wasn't big, but it had quite a temper. It felt smooth and oily to the touch and was quite strong.
It's like he's not very bright.
"He's so energetic, he must be healthy. If he can't be braised or boiled, he should be able to eat raw meat too."
"The leather is good; if you peel it off and make it into a waterproof bag, it should last a long time."
Sea Otter Fugui was utterly stunned by the werewolf's shamelessness.
Can you even speak like a human?! You actually want to eat me alive, and even skin me to make waterproof bags?!
I'm not human anymore, but you're a real dog!
"Squeak! Awooo! Awooo!"
At this moment, the other three members of Team Two who had fallen from the sky with Xie Tianlang had gathered around, all looking rather disheveled. But Gou Fugui, who was being held captive, noticed that when these three men came to Xie Tianlang's side, they seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, as if they trusted him completely.
Xie Tianlang, whom they trusted, was indeed different. Even though they were on a turbulent sea with waves crashing one after another, while the other three were using all their strength to maintain their balance in the waves, Xie Tianlang seemed completely unaffected by them.
His body muscles seemed to be able to adjust themselves as the waves rolled and pounded, as if he were "going with the flow" in the most effortless way.
Gou Fugui stared at his body and the surrounding waves, and suddenly felt that the way he floated on the surface was like... a sea otter, so relaxed.
At this moment, Xie Tianlang also spoke to the three teammates who had come to his side:
"Haven't you learned how to train your muscles in the water and the best floating posture? If you don't use it now, when do you plan to? When you're dying?"
Even though Xie Tianlang finished speaking with a standard, toothless smile, Gou Fugui still noticed that the other three people shivered simultaneously. However, they quickly relaxed their movements in the sea, having at least conserved most of their strength amidst the raging winds and waves.
Tsk, you can tell who's in charge at a glance.
The sea otter Fugui struggled again, but finding he couldn't escape, he rolled his eyes and started rubbing his face and grooming himself with his little paws.
As a true sea otter, he must never forget to groom himself.
At this moment, Qin Feng, the captain of the second team, swam over with some difficulty. When he saw that Xie Tianlang was actually holding a sea otter that was rubbing its face and grooming itself, his expression went blank for a moment.
But he quickly said, "This world has oceans and sea otters, does that mean the ecological environment of this world is similar to ours?"
Gou Fugui rubbed his face and shook his head inwardly. It's true that there's a sea here, but the sea otter in front of you isn't native to this world. It's here to save the world, just like you.
Xie Tianlang glanced at the sea otter in his hand, which was leisurely rubbing its face, grooming its fur, and shaking its head, and suddenly felt speechless. Did this little thing realize it couldn't win the struggle, so it stopped struggling? It was baring its teeth and claws just a moment ago, and now it's rubbing its fur.
He's not exactly a genius, but his attitude of accepting fate is quite admirable.
"We can't draw conclusions just because there's only one sea otter. Qin Feng and Lu Hu, put the rescue airbags together. San Chuan, determine the direction. Let's not waste time here."
The waves here are too high. Even a well-trained national elite would not last long if they could not find a boat or get ashore as soon as possible.
Qin Feng and the other two nodded to each other, and then Qin Feng and Lu Hu began connecting the rescue airbags. During this time, he glanced around anxiously a few times, but the sky was dark and the rain was pouring down, and he could see almost nothing except the curtain of rain between heaven and earth. Naturally, he couldn't see if there were any other teammates falling from the sky on the sea besides the four of them.
I just hope the other six teammates didn't land on this ocean. The nine members of the second team jumped into the vortex gate arm in arm, but only three of them made it in the end.
Xie, the eldest, formed his own group, disliking their awkward postures and refusing to jump hand-in-hand with them, only to fall into the sea with them. What are the rules for entering the Gate of Doomsday?
At this moment, Song Sanchuan, the round-headed team member, opened a small bag he carried with him and took out a small metal detector. Under his control, the detector trembled and flew into the air, but before it could transmit any common communication waves or take any high-definition photos, it was hit hard by a giant wave.
Song Sanchuan cried out in distress and quickly swam over to retrieve his metal detector. Then, somewhat dejectedly, he reported to Xie Tianlang, "Boss, the detector is unusable here... cough cough, the weather is just too harsh!"
If the world here were all like this—vast oceans and raging storms—he truly wouldn't know how to save the world.
Just as this thought crossed Song Sanchuan's mind, he suddenly froze.
The sea otter, Fugui, who had already rubbed his belly, saw that the four people in front of him were all stunned. After a moment's pause, he understood.
They're probably being educated by Earth's consciousness about how to save the world right now. I just wonder if these four will receive some special favor from the world's father? Maybe some kind of cheat code?
Gou Fugui rubbed and waited, and after about ten seconds, the four of them came to their senses. Judging from their expressions, it seemed that none of them had received any favor from the World Father.
"Haha."
The sea otter Fugui let out three triumphant and joyful calls. Indeed, when it comes to character, Fugui is the most handsome and virtuous.
"Team Leader Xie, Team Leader Qin! Did you hear that just now?" Lu Hu from Team Two asked in a gruff voice.
Qin Feng nodded, but his expression became even more serious.
"To save the world from the apocalypse, we need to find the core of the world and repair it. The way to repair it is to solve the root cause of the apocalypse or to preserve the minimum number of lives."
"But we can't do either of those things right now. The most urgent thing is to get out of the sea and onto land as soon as possible. Only after we get ashore can we quickly understand the situation of this world, determine the source of the apocalypse, and then we can go to the core of the world or do what we can."
"But the storm here is too strong. We're having a hard time even maintaining our buoyancy. And the mechanical detectors in Sanchuan are unusable. How can we find the nearest land or a ship?"
Song Sanchuan wiped the water droplets from his face: "We don't need a ship. With a storm of this magnitude, even a standard aircraft carrier might not be able to withstand it! Cough cough, as long as we can find a mechanical power unit, that will do! I can modify it to tow us away quickly!"
"If we were to swim out of this sea on our own, even Xie Mo, cough, Captain Xie, wouldn't be able to do it."
As Song Sanchuan spoke, he suddenly looked at the sea otter Fugui, who was rubbing his toes, with great envy: "I wish we were all sea otters! Sea otters are born to live on the sea surface!"
Gou Fugui nodded in agreement upon hearing this, then looked up and gave the baby-faced young man a knowing look that said, "You have excellent taste." It seems you share the same dream as me, though it's a pity you'll never achieve it in this lifetime, while I can.
"Hey! Captain Xie! This sea otter just looked up at me... but why does his gaze seem a bit strange? It looks like he has three parts pity, three parts admiration, and four parts smugness?"
Xie Tianlang glanced at Song Sanchuan and gave a fake smile: "Oh. Maybe it's because it thinks you're adorably stupid."
"Just like itself."
Song Sanchuan and Sea Otter Fugui both paused in their movements.
Sea Otter Fugui roared at Xie Tianlang again.
"Aaaaaah! Awoooooo!" You're the one who's adorably stupid! Your whole family is adorably stupid!
However, Haita Fugui's roar was cruelly interrupted by the ruthless and foolish humans. Xie Tianlang pinched the scruff of Haita Fugui's neck again (he let go halfway through because he saw that it was rubbing it comfortably and hadn't run away): "Alright, stop yelling at me. No other otter will come to save you no matter how much you yell."
Sea Otter Fugui: "..." My god, how can you still say such an old joke to a sea otter!
Xie Tianlang reached out and gently shook the sea otter's soft, chubby body. Under the otter's accusing gaze, he coldly said, "Move your little nose and smell if there are any people or the smell of the earth around here."
"Otherwise, I'll eat you up."
Sea Otter Fugui: "..."
Qin Feng and Lu Hu: "..."
Are you threatening a sea otter like that? Captain Xie, that's not fair! It's really not fair!
At this moment, Song Sanchuan suddenly clapped his hands: "How could I forget that! Sea otters have an extremely sensitive sense of smell; each sea otter can smell all sorts of scents from eight kilometers away!"
"Captain Xie, you're so wise! How did you manage to catch a sea otter? But... can this sea otter understand?"
Xie Tianlang looked at the little sea otter rolling its eyes at him and suddenly revealed a smile completely different from his previous fake smile, full of great pleasure: "It's probably fate that brought us together. And, it will understand."
Sea Otter Fugui: "Ah." Heh.
Fate, my foot! It's more like a harbinger of disaster sent from heaven!
But in the end, the poor sea otter Fugui was forced to understand Xie Tianlang's words and became a guide otter.
Besides his own desire to leave the stormy sea and find human habitation as soon as possible, that werewolf was far more ruthless than the ruthless man, and was really threatening his otter safety in various ways!
Not only did he keep pulling his tail, pinching his face, and slapping his butt, but in the end, he even took out a small knife and pointed it at him, as if he would really eat him alive if he didn't cooperate!
The sea otter, Fugui, angrily paddled rapidly ahead, splashing water from its tail in the werewolf's face. Consider it making the guy drink its bathwater; once they're out of the ocean, it absolutely mustn't run into this guy again, or it'll definitely give him the middle finger to his face.
After swimming in one direction for ten minutes, the sea otter Fugui's little nose finally caught a familiar scent.
That was the aura of a "living person," but in addition, there was the aura of blood and death.
The sea otter Fugui suddenly straightened up, its little head and eyes staring straight in that direction.
Xie Tianlang and the other three, who were following closely behind him, noticed his unusual behavior. Xie Tianlang reached out and grabbed the sea otter's neck again: "Yuanyuan, can you smell the scent of humans?"
Gou Fugui struggled angrily: "Ouch!" You're the round one, your whole family is round.
Xie Tianlang chuckled softly, released his neck, and turned to pat the little sea otter's head: "Well done, I'll feed you an extra little fish later."
Sea Otter Fugui flipped his hair back with a disgusted expression and said, "Ugh!"
Don't touch Daddy's head! Did Daddy ask you for food? He even fed me little fish. I told you that in this ocean, even if you all starved to death, Daddy could still eat his fill!
And what they ate were sea urchins, crabs, and large shellfish—they're quite valuable!
Author's Note:
Xie Tianlang: Yuanyuan, come here, have a sniff.
Sea Otter's Fortune: ...
Xie Tianlang: Yuanyuan, come on, eat some fish.
Sea Otter Fugui: ...Eat your grandpa! You really can't outlive me, you know that?!
