Chapter 742: When a Whale Falls, All Things Come to Life (1)
[Azathoth]: "There are twelve young black whales here. We will divide their territories equally. The adult one at the head will belong to yours."
The person who spoke was a young man, who was the lord of another territory in the game area.
Leng Jia stared at the whales with greedy eyes, but he knew in his heart that there was a huge gap in the strength of the two territories, so being able to divide the young fish equally was already very good.
Not only in terms of combat power, Leng Jia is well aware of the levels of all aspects of his territory. The biggest gap is that the area of farmland in their territory is very small.
I feel like the information I learned during the last solar term is probably not even one-tenth of what the other party has!
It’s not like the 001 territory where there are players who can bring in monster feces. The lack of farmland means that their sources of farming and producing staple food are completely inferior to the 001 territory.
Nowadays, it is impossible to obtain new food in the sea, and the scarcity of supplies is almost secondary.
Without a food source, many players in their territory will have to rely on importing staple foods from Territory 001 to survive.
At this time, it is easy for the other party to hold the person by the throat and become a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others. He has seen such things as asking for a higher price before he has seen it before.
Shu Lingyi's first reaction was of course to refuse. Apart from the two Level Nine Xuantian Whales that had died, the remaining Xuantian Whales would certainly also be concerned about the subsequent regeneration of resources in the sea.
What's more, there is a special message in the details of these Xuantian whales that are still alive and struggling.
[Whales are the overlords of the ocean, but it is not easy for them to reproduce. When their young die, they will make a mournful cry, and all their companions will respond.]
Xiao Ai’s tip: This response was specially marked in red, which is not a good thing.
Thinking of what he had speculated before, the living Xuantian whale was between the two dead Xuantian whales. This distance was probably the distance at which the death cry of the young fish would stimulate the response of the dead Xuantian whales.
This caused two Xuantian whales to explode at the same time.
[Azathoth]: "Your territory doesn't have a lord, right? The first player to discover it will decide its ownership. I think my suggestion is a good one."
Shinji: "We're not on the Blue Planet. Just kill the whales. Their health bars are so low and they're so weak. Isn't this a good time to kill them?"
[Very Far Away]: "You're not planning to be a saint. If we don't kill the whale we'll starve to death!"
Lin Lan had never dealt with such a thing before, and was a little panicked for a moment. Shu Lingyi immediately sent a private message to [Lin Lanlan] and said, "Reject this group of people. None of these Xuantian whales can be killed! Not even one!"
As the blizzard arrived, everyone's submarines surrounded the coast.
No one dared to go ashore rashly. Everyone knew the status of whales. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. If they rashly went ashore, they would be attacked and killed without knowing how bad it would be.
[Lin Lanlan]: "No, these Xuantian whales must be released. Not even one can be killed."
Shinji: "Why? Let's split it in half. If you want to be a saint, just let your own go. We don't have much to eat, so what's wrong with hunting monsters?"
Lin Lan was also wondering, what did they do wrong?
Players need food, and monsters are meant to be hunted by players, so why does a big boss say they can’t be killed?
[Azathoth]: "I have always been grateful to you. After all, you helped the players in our territory a lot last solar term."
[Azathoth]: "But I want a reason to refuse, not to be so generous as to give the monster a chance to live."
It is said that Leng Jia is a forensic graduate student on Blue Star. He has always been sober, calm and intelligent, which is why the players in their territory are quite convinced of him.
Other players have experienced many solar terms with him and know that most of his judgments are correct.
Besides, we are just trying to get food for our territory, there is no reason for me to stab him in the back.
[So Redundant]: "We just encountered a dead Level 9 Mysterious Sky Whale on the way here. It could trigger a whale explosion at any time."
[So redundant]: "If you look closely at the details of these young Xuantian whales, you will hear a cry of death. I seriously suspect that this is the key to causing the dead Xuantian whale to explode prematurely."
Under Shu Lingyi's guidance, Zhong Qingwei also realized the dangerous information revealed in these details. He directly confessed that he wanted the other party to stop under such a serious situation.
[Yi Ling]: "That level nine whale is too terrifying, and it's close to our territory. If it explodes, I'm afraid the protective shield will be destroyed, so please release all the whales here."
[Yi Ling]: "If you need food, we can provide you with enough food to trade."
Shu Lingyi respected the other lord's idea, and she also wanted to use food trading to change the other party's idea of killing whales.
Everyone could see Shu Lingyi's determination. The players who had been with Shu Lingyi for a long time believed in her very much. Especially when they heard that the whale explosion was very scary, they all immediately supported Shu Lingyi's decision not to go to work.
[Cloud Pattern]: "I can accept that. I will trade food for the lives of these black sky whales."
[Rainbow Dash]: "Lord, as you know, we have a lot of food. We also have some food that has a long shelf life but is very nutritious. We can also provide these to you as a trade."
[Yi Ling]: "If you need food, we guarantee that you will earn it. After all, these Xuantian whales are related to the safety of our territory, so let's take a step back, okay?"
Shu Lingyi and others were trying to persuade him, and some people noticed that there was something wrong with the chat record, and sent private messages to Shu Lingyi asking why he was so anxious and nervous.
Isn't this just handing your lifeline into the hands of the other party?
【Ginger is still wise with age】: "Yi Yi, what's wrong with you? You are too impatient to say these things."
【Experience is the key】: "What if these people on the other side have bad intentions? What will happen to the territory?"
Jiang Wang touched Tian Zhu's head with worry on his face. When she sent a private message to Shu Lingyi, it was too late: since she had said this, she could only bet on the other person's character.
The atmosphere on the public screen was not particularly good, and there was a vague feeling that the two territories were on the verge of a showdown.
[Azathoth]: "Sorry, I refuse."
[Azathoth]: "We don't want to take advantage of you too much. We just want these six young black whales. As for the whale explosion, it's your business. We are not responsible for it."
After Leng Jia said this, even the public screen in his own territory was full of news.
[Cang Sheng Taegeuk]: "Why do you have to have this young fish? Wouldn't it be better to exchange it for more staple food?"
[Silver who loves to read novels]: "Whale meat alone is barely enough to fill our stomachs. If we can exchange it for food from the 001 territory, we can eat better."
[Shinji]: "Brother Leng, what the above person said is right. At worst, we can sign a contract with the restaurant across the street and get them to provide us with free food!"
[Azathoth]: "What do you know? We will capture these young fish, kill them, and then have them detonate the Level 9 Mysterious Sky Whale. Once the other party's territory's protective shield is broken, it will lose its most important protection."
[Azathoth]: "By then, these players will have to join our territory in order to survive. What won't belong to us then? All kinds of resources can become part of our territory. How are you?"
[Cang Sheng Taegeuk]: "It is really unethical to do this, and it will also bring hatred from the other party."
[Silver who loves to read novels]: "To be honest, I don't think the other party is that stupid. It's better for the lord not to do this. I'm afraid of shooting myself in the foot."
[Azathoth]: "What do you know? Am I the lord or are you the lord? If you think we are not good enough, just immigrate."
[Very Far Away]: "I support Brother Leng. How can I allow others to sleep beside my bed? The enemy's territory is too strong. If they come to mess with us one day, we will have no way to defeat them."
[Very Far Away]: "Just like now, we have to communicate again and again to get a young fish. Isn't it because our fists are not strong enough?"
[Cang Sheng Taegeuk]: "There is no hope."
[Silver who loves to read novels]: "Then I will withdraw from the territory. It's a good idea to pack up my things and drive this submarine away."
The internal communication ended on a not-so-friendly note.
Leng Jia ignored these objections and insisted on taking only the Xuantian Whale fry. At this time, the players in the 001 territory knew what the other side was planning with their eyes closed.
The internal public screen was filled with curses, but the other side insisted on a stalemate. Shu Lingyi curled his lips and said, "Since you have made up your mind, it is not impossible for us to agree to it."
[Yi Ling]: "But we have to sign a contract. We have to release the seven whales that belong to us, so you can't hunt the other six Xuantian whales before we finish releasing them."
[Yi Ling]: "After all, I don't want these black sky whales to keep wailing when I release them."
[Azathoth]: "If you can make the decision, then I can sign this contract."
[Yi Ling]: "It seems that you, Lord, are not worried at all. What if the whale explosion of the ninth-level Xuantian Whale has a destructive power that covers the entire game area?"
[Azathoth]: "Haha, there's no need to tell me these unfounded threats. Let's talk about it when it really happens."
[Yi Ling]: "Well, I wish you..."
Blow you up, you bastard!
After the goal was achieved, Shu Lingyi was very satisfied. After such a long stalemate, Luo Zhiqing had already delivered the specially made green fishing net.
She only needed to put the details of the fishing net on the public screen of her own territory, and immediately many players understood her operation.
[Dean Zhu who loves to eat soy milk fish]: "Shu girl is really good. As long as we buy time, I can kill the ninth level Xuantian whale for you. By then, it will be useless even if they kill the Xuantian whale fry."
[So redundant]: "In these two territories, there is a high possibility that there is a second ninth-level Mysterious Sky Whale, just as Comrade Yi Yi speculated."
[So redundant]: "There are fifteen days in total for Frost Descent. There are thirteen living black whales plus two dead ones, which makes fifteen exactly."
【少卿不负卿】: "Doesn't that mean the other party is in big trouble?!"
[Xia Ri Bin Bin]: "What bad luck! This is the path they chose themselves, they deserve it."
[Xin Jing]: "Indeed, Boss Yi has already given us a chance, but these stupid dogs don't know how to cherish it."
Shu Lingyi and Leng Jia signed a contract, and then arranged for twenty players to deal with the stranded Xuantian Whale here. She and Zhong Qingwei called on another group of players to deal with the ninth-level Xuantian Whale.
[Bai Moxi]: "I have experience in this. I'll just stay here and give the orders."
[Ling Bai Jue Zhi]: "I will also stay here with my wife, and work together to send these whales back."
[Yi Ling]: "Then I'll trouble Sister Bai. Comrade Zhong and I will go and deal with the ninth-level Xuantian Whale."
Next, Leng Jia and the others watched as Bai Moxi and the others led the team to work together to slowly return the stranded Xuantian whale to the sea, while they supervised from the side.
Bai Moxi and the others also intentionally delayed time, so the progress was not particularly fast.
With the addition of the eighth-level Xuantian whale, even if it is a juvenile, it is much larger than the ones on Blue Star. This assistance process can only be gradual.
None of Leng Jia and the others suspected that there was anything wrong with the speed of the action.
Anyway, these Xuantian whales have blood bars on their heads, so they can last for another six or seven hours!
Shu Lingyi went to the ninth-level Xuantian Whale. A fishing net was divided into fifty corners. Fifty players each pulled a corner to spread out the fishing net completely.
Then it covered the mountain-like Xuantian whale little by little. Fortunately, its skin was still smooth at this time, and the fishing net could be slowly moved up from the tail of the fish.
Relying on the characteristics of the Bobo silk fishing net, its contact with the Xuantian whale was like water in the air, and the Xuantian whale's body did not react at all.
It took fifty people a full hour and a half to move and cover the area bit by bit.
The next step is to pull the fishing net to close in and pull the body of the Xuantian Whale back into the sea.
There were other players digging the soil on the coast, and they had to dig the part where the fish tail was located into a slightly inclined slope to make it easier for players to pull the Xuantian Whale.
Everyone moved very carefully, and ate to replenish their stomachs when they were exhausted.
The Xuantian Whale was not moved until 2:30 p.m. before it was put on the sea surface. Then a player had to drive a submarine, hook the fishing net and continue to move the Xuantian Whale towards the inland sea.
At that time, let the Xuantian Whale drift with the tide and sink to the bottom of the sea completely, fulfilling its destiny.
Born in the ocean, when you die you should return to the embrace of Mother Ocean.
[Yi Ling]: "I'm OK here."
As Shu Lingyi informed Bai Moxi of the progress, Bai Moxi's control time was almost the same. When Shu Lingyi and other submarines returned to the coast, Bai Moxi also sent the last Xuantian whale back to the sea.
[Bai Moxi]: "These Xuantian whales probably had problems with their navigation systems because there were too many reefs in this sea area. The leader and the other young fish all followed them ashore foolishly."
[Bai Moxi]: "Generally speaking, these whales with navigation system problems need to be manually re-established with correct navigation, otherwise, they will repeatedly run ashore and get stranded."
