Chapter 77: Stranded Seahorse
The next day, the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the window onto Lin Yaoyao's face, and she slowly woke up.
As soon as she opened her sleepy eyes, the familiar voice of the system sounded in her mind.
[Ding, issuing tasks..., Task 3: There's a stranded seahorse on the beach. Please take it home and take good care of it!]
【200 points reward for completing the mission! 】
Lin Yaoyao was slightly stunned, then a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
She thought to herself that this system was really going to cause her trouble, but since it was a mission, she might as well give it her all for the reward.
She quickly got up, washed up briefly, and walked towards the beach.
"Yaoyao, where are you going?"
Qingjiu lay on the bed and watched Yaoyao get up and leave.
He was stunned. Didn't he satisfy Yaoyao yesterday? Was Yaoyao angry?
"I'm going to take a walk on the beach! Haha..."
Lin Yaoyao's words interrupted Qingjiu's daze.
Qingjiu nodded and felt relieved.
Shen Jiqing has already organized the tribe's high-level orcs to go hunting.
Others heard it from a distance.
Yin Yu asked:
"Yaoyao, do you want me to go with you?"
Lin Yaoyao waved her hand and headed towards the public area beach.
Along the way, Lin Yaoyao felt a little complicated.
She wondered what this stranded seahorse would look like.
After all, she had never seen a real seahorse!
I'm not sure if I'm really capable of taking care of it.
When she finally arrived at the beach, the vast ocean and golden sand came into view.
The sun shines on the sea, the waves are sparkling, and it is beautiful beyond words.
Lin Yaoyao began to carefully search for the stranded seahorse on the beach.
After a while, she found it in a relatively remote place.
Its body is curved and covered with shimmering scales that give it a beautiful blue-green hue.
The seahorse has a pointed head and a pair of large, transparent eyes.
The most striking thing is that there is a pair of transparent membrane wings on the body of the seahorse, similar to the fins of a seahorse.
It was a blue-green seahorse. At this moment, there seemed to be sadness in his eyes as he looked at the sea in the distance.
There are beautiful patterns and colors on the body, which has an inexplicable beauty.
The little seahorse lay quietly on the beach, looking so helpless and fragile.
To be honest, if Lin Yaoyao hadn't looked carefully, she might have stepped on it!
Afraid that he would accidentally die.
Lin Yaoyao squatted down gently and held the little seahorse carefully in her hands.
This seahorse is as big as two of Lin Yaoyao’s palms.
Looking at the delicate appearance of the little seahorse, she whispered, "Water will be available soon, hold on!"
The little seahorse looked at Lin Yaoyao without saying anything, then slowly closed his eyes.
Lin Yaoyao took the little seahorse back to her wooden house.
Qingjiu, who was inside the house, saw this and was puzzled:
"Yaoyao, why did you bring a sea creature here?"
Lin Yaoyao explained:
"I saw him washed up on the beach and wanted to bring him back here to get him some water!"
Qingjiu looked at the little seahorse in Lin Yaoyao's hand, sniffed it, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
Why is it a male sea creature? I wonder if it is an orc!
Seeing Qingjiu idle here, Lin Yaoyao said:
"Just go get some sea water! I'll put him in!"
Qingjiu said "Oh!" and reluctantly turned into a snow leopard and ran out.
After thinking about it, Lin Yaoyao began to carefully prepare a comfortable environment for the little seahorse.
She changed to a transparent glass tank and put some beautiful seaweed and pebbles in it.
Yin Yu and Zuo Xi walked in.
Seeing Lin Yaoyao busying around, Zuo Xi looked at the seahorse beside Lin Yaoyao.
Surprise flashed in his eyes:
"Yaoyao, what is this? I have never seen it before!"
Yin Yu looked at the yellow seahorse carefully and said proudly:
"Zuo Xi, you don't even know this! This is a beast from the sea!"
His tone was firm and resolute.
Lin Yaoyao twitched her lips when she heard the word "beast".
"This isn't a beast, it's the one I just rescued!"
Lin Yaoyao explained helplessly.
“Oh…”
Zuo Xi nodded, still very curious about this thing. After all, he had never seen such a strange thing before.
After a while, Qingjiu came over with a large bucket of sea water.
He put the sea water into the water tank prepared by Lin Yaoyao.
Lin Yaoyao quickly put the little seahorse in her hand in.
The little seahorse reacted obviously after encountering water.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Yaoyao.
Then it swam into the seaweed.
It seems that no one else is allowed to see it.
Lin Yaoyao smiled and didn't care about it.
As long as this seahorse is alive, it will be fine.
In the following days, Lin Yaoyao took good care of the little seahorse.
She changes the sea water on time every day to ensure the water is clean.
She would also feed the little seahorse some food suitable for it. Seeing the little seahorse recover its vitality little by little, Lin Yaoyao's heart gradually calmed down.
Lin Yaoyao stood in the simple wooden house, looking out the window at the hot season that seemed to never end, her heart filled with anxiety.
The scorching hot weather made it hard to breathe, and she kept lamenting when this hot season would ever be over.
These days, the scorching heat of the hot season is still with us.
However, just when Lin Yaoyao was about to lose her patience due to the heat.
At the horizon, dark clouds rolled in like a majestic black army, quickly occupying the originally blue sky.
The thunder rumbled like the beating of war drums, shaking the earth so much that it seemed to tremble slightly.
Immediately afterwards, heavy rain poured down, and the dense rain curtain seemed like countless transparent silk threads, tightly connecting the sky and the earth together.
Moisture vapor rushed in from the wooden window, bringing a hint of coolness.
Lin Yaoyao looked at the sky outside and was soon shocked by the sudden heavy rain.
In the distance, Lang Xi and Shen Jiqing were dragging the heavy beast and moving forward with difficulty in the rain.
Their figures were looming in the rain, and finally, they arrived in front of the wooden house.
As soon as he entered the door, Shen Jiqing couldn't wait to shake the lion's hair on his body, and water droplets splashed everywhere.
"Yaoyao, it's raining outside now, you can't go out!"
Looking at Lin Yaoyao standing at the door, Shen Jiqing quickly pushed her into the house, his eyes full of concern.
Lang Xi followed closely behind, and after shaking off the rain on his body, he picked up the two beasts, looked at them and said with a smile:
"Fortunately, our two tribes have hunted a lot of prey before, so even if it rains, we are not afraid!"
Lin Yaoyao's gaze fell on the two beasts.
She looked at the two beasts and asked, "Is this the end of the hot season?"
Shen Jiqing nodded, “It should be the rainy season now, and I don’t know if this year’s rainy season will be long.”
Lin Yaoyao thought to herself, "So that's how it is." She knew it wouldn't be that simple.
