After the White Bone Clan was wiped out, Gu Xi dismantled the temporary foundation on the ship.
Many of the dismantled materials are unusable and can only be burned by Flame Scales.
Flamescale and Ais worked together seamlessly; one breathed fire to burn down the garbage heap, while the other used ice to freeze the remains, preventing them from falling and injuring the fish.
"Pfft~ These materials are all inferior," Flamescale said disdainfully, poking at the fragments on the ground with its tail. "They should have been dismantled a long time ago."
"Plop~" Ais nodded in agreement.
The two fish's back-and-forth singing made Gu Xi feel a pang of heartache. Sure enough, she had raised the fish too well; the iron base actually felt like junk.
I wonder what they would think if they knew that when she first arrived, there was only one square meter of wooden planks.
The shrunken Abyssal Algae Beast was about the size of a calf. At this moment, it lay on the deck, lazily basking in the sun, its tentacles idly twirling seaweed.
"I must say, this boat of yours is quite comfortable."
Gu Xi glanced at it and asked, "Aren't you going back?"
"Go back where?" The Netherworld Algae Beast rolled over. "Anyway, I have sixty days, and I have nowhere to go. I might as well just stay here and freeload."
Look, they answered with such confidence and conviction.
Unfortunately, it's an SSS-level dog, so it's impossible to forcefully get rid of it.
And its body covered in aquatic plants made the base soaked with water, almost bringing Keima, who was in charge of cleaning, to tears.
Flamescale leaned closer to Ais and whispered, "It's clearly coming for you."
Aisi glanced at the Netherworld Algae Beast, then sighed.
"It's not coming for me at all. You just gave it a bag of fish food, and then it refused to leave."
Gu Xi nodded repeatedly. When Yan Lin fed it fish food earlier, she was looking forward to raising another SSS-level helper to strengthen her team. But it turned out that it was not a fish or a sea beast at all.
Honestly, she still doesn't understand what the concepts of fish, marine mammals, and deep-sea creatures really mean.
Gu Xi looked at the Youyuan Algae Beast that was stubbornly refusing to leave the deck and rubbed his temples.
Once these SSS-level sea monsters latch onto you, they're very difficult to get rid of.
Moreover, it has now shrunk in size and looks harmless.
“Since you’re going to be here for two months, then help out with the work.” Gu Xi walked up to the Youyuan Algae Beast, mustered his courage, poked its head, and said, word by word, “I can’t just eat and drink for free.”
The Abyssal Algae Beast blinked, its tentacles pausing as they coiled around the seaweed. "I can help scout ahead."
"Pfft!" Flame Scale immediately cried out in dissatisfaction. Wasn't this its and Ais's job?
"Don't rush," Gu Xi said reassuringly. "While scouting isn't feasible, isn't Ais researching Tar's mental power? Let it assist him."
Ais frowned slightly, seemingly having some concerns about the arrangement, but considering that having an extra helper might speed up the research process, she didn't voice her objections.
Upon hearing this, Yanlin was somewhat unhappy, but considering that he was not strong enough to study Tar's mental power, he could only compromise.
"When should I go?" Upon hearing that there was something important to do, the Netherworld Algae Beast immediately perked up and its tentacles began to dance lightly.
“You need to get Ais’s consent. Until then, Keima will arrange your accommodation.” Gu Xi said, turning to leave.
Halfway there, she suddenly thought of a question, so she turned back.
"By the way, what's your name?"
The tentacles of the Netherworld Algae Beast stopped dancing and tilted its head in thought.
"We don't have names; sea creatures like us generally don't need names."
"Pfft! That won't do!" Flame Scale immediately leaned over. "Boss Fish, give it a name! Just like you named me!"
The Netherworld Algae Beast's eyes lit up, and its tentacles gently curled up. "Alright, since we'll be staying here for two months anyway, having a name will be convenient."
Gu Xi looked at the seaweed swaying on its body with the waves, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's call it Niu Niu Cao (Bull Grass)."
