Gu Xi instructed Yan Lin to fetch Niu Niu Cao, and Yan Lin accepted the order and headed towards the deck.
It came to the deck and saw from afar that Niu Niu Cao was leisurely lying on a pile of seaweed, playing with the seashells it had picked up from the seabed with its vines.
"Splash! Hey, you're here!" Flame Scale swam over quickly, its eyes wide open.
Seeing the cowgrass looking so content, it couldn't help but purse its lips and mutter under its breath.
"Hmph, you really are a freeloader. We work ourselves to the bone for the fishmonger every day, while you just sit here leisurely sunbathing all day."
Niu Niu Cao slowly turned around, its vines swaying gently, its head slightly raised, and a hint of mocking laughter in its tone.
"Oh? What, you little firefish think you're qualified to boss me around?"
"Pfft! What did you say?" Flame Scale was instantly enraged. Although it dared not light a fire on the ship, it could set a fire in the water.
At this moment, its body trembled slightly with rage. "Don't think you're so great just because you're an SSS-class! I'm not afraid of you!"
"That's enough." Ai Si walked over unnoticed, her impatient gaze sweeping over Niu Niu Cao. "Gu Xi is looking for you."
The vines of the cowgrass stiffened slightly before reluctantly following them to Gu Xi.
Gu Xi was standing with the fish when she saw Niu Niu Cao arrive. She went straight to the point and asked, "Do you know about Tar?"
The vines of the cowgrass suddenly trembled violently, as if a sore spot had been touched, and it stammered, unable to speak.
Ais glanced coldly at Niu Niu Cao, and the surrounding water temperature plummeted. "It seems I was right not to let it into the lab before. This unreliable creature might even leak our secrets."
The vines of the cowgrass suddenly stood upright. "What do you mean by this? Just because I'm not one of your people, you think I'm untrustworthy?"
"Since we can't help Ais, we can't just keep eating and drinking for free, can we?" Gu Xi crossed her arms and said sternly, "Didn't you say you could lead the way? We're looking for the ruins from the Tar era, how about you lead the way?"
"Yeah, yeah!" Flame Scale chimed in gleefully, "We can't be expected to raise a useless fish, can we?! Pfft!"
The octopus waved its tentacles in agreement, and Ariel and Keima nodded meaningfully as well.
Under everyone's gaze, the ox-codile vine slowly curled up, and finally whispered, "Alright, I know the locations of some ruins. But, those places..." It hesitated, unable to finish its sentence.
"That's right!" Gu Xi clapped his hands, interrupting it. "Get ready, we're leaving right away."
Niu Niu Grass glanced at Ai Si, who seemed lost in thought, its vines trembling violently as if it wanted to say something but forcibly held back. Its reaction made Ai Si narrow her eyes, a hint of wariness flashing in her cold gaze.
Niu Niu Cao followed everyone to the third-floor observation deck. A sea breeze blew by, and its vines swayed gently in the wind.
Looking out to sea, one can see the shimmering surface of the ocean, where sunlight sparkles and glitters.
The observation deck is surrounded by a variety of ornamental plants, making the whole space vibrant and full of life.
The more I look at Niu Niu Cao, the hungrier I get.
"Pfft! Get to work!"
Relying on the fact that the Future was its own territory, the SS-class Flamescale was not afraid of NiuNiuCao at all. It was very confident that even if NiuNiuCao caused trouble, AiSi would help it.
Clearly, Flamescale's urging had no effect, but NiuNiuCao looked around with delight, its vines swaying gently.
"This place is so beautiful! Why didn't you bring me here before?"
"Plop plop~" Ais glanced at it coldly, "With your gluttonous nature, if you were here, I'm afraid not a single one of these plants would survive."
The vines of the cowgrass froze instantly, stammering and unable to utter a word.
It knew that Ais was right; these plants were indeed too tempting for it.
"Alright, let's get to work." Gu Xi interrupted their conversation. "Use your mental power to scan the surroundings and find the location of the ruins."
