The octopus, thrown into the water, glanced at its owner with its beady eyes, only to receive a "no discussion" look from her. So it had no choice but to sink into the water to find the sea monster's nest.
A marine mammal's nest that could accommodate several marine mammals over 20 meters long would certainly not be small, especially since it could be reached by the tentacles of an octopus. Therefore, this nest must be located within 100 meters below the sea surface.
Since Gu Xi cannot be submerged in water, the underwater work can only be left to the octopus.
Gu Xi waited on the boat for about 20 minutes, but seeing that the octopus still hadn't made any move, she used her mental energy to communicate with it, asking if it had encountered any problems. However, she didn't receive a response from the octopus.
Gu Xi looked around. The sea was calm and there was no sign of an attack. So what had happened to the octopus?
Gu Xi used her mental energy to call out to it again. This time, after only a few calls, the octopus floated to the surface. However, Gu Xi could only see its body; she didn't see its tentacles.
Where are your tentacles?
"Chirp chirp"
The octopus let out a cry, and then Gu Xi saw that its entire body turned red, and its red cheeks seemed to be steaming. Then, as if it was using all its strength, its tentacles pulled upwards with all its might, and something huge seemed to be slowly dragged out from under the water, gradually appearing in her sight.
Gu Xi scanned the area with her mental power and discovered that the octopus had dragged out a giant rock. She asked in confusion, "Why did you pull this thing up here?"
This thing looks like trash. Is it trying to pick up trash again?
"Chirp chirp"
The octopus made two noises, and then Gu Xi saw it drag the boulder onto the boat, which startled her so much that she quickly stopped it.
Such a big rock, if we drag it onto the boat, the weight might sink the boat, right?
"Throw it away quickly, it's useless."
"Chirp chirp!" The octopus's tentacles clung tightly to the rock.
Gu Xi understood its refusal, guessing it meant: You asked me to pick up the stone, so why throw it away?
Gu Xi knew what it was thinking and couldn't help but rub her forehead.
She sent the octopus down to retrieve treasures, not some strange rocks.
Even if this stone is indeed part of a sea monster's lair, it's still just a useless stone.
After a struggle between the man and the fish, the octopus finally managed to throw the stone back into the sea only after Gu Xi insisted.
Although the first salvage attempt failed, Gu Xi still felt that there must be some treasure underwater, otherwise the game wouldn't have given a special hint.
So she used her mental powers to communicate with the octopus in detail, asking it to find some useful things to bring back.
The octopus, in a very human-like manner, sighed like Gu Xi, then, with a wisp of steam still rising from its head, sank back into the sea.
This time, before Gu Xi could even shout, it quickly appeared, dragging something with it in its tentacles.
At this moment, the octopus was quite far from Gu Xi, so she couldn't see very clearly and didn't know if these things were useful. Therefore, she asked the octopus to bring the things to the boat.
The octopus stretched out its tentacles and put what it had scooped up onto the boat.
Gu Xi called for the octopus to continue the salvage operation, while she herself picked up items from the deck to examine them.
[Radiant Ray: A type of fish with very beautiful skin that glows at night, making it highly valued for its ornamental qualities.]
It turns out this is the skin of a luminous ray. Although the skin isn't very useful, it glows at night and can be made into a valuable ornament.
Remembering her previous trade with the Sea Ghost, who seemed to collect all sorts of strange things, she collected the Radiant Ray's skin. She didn't need it, but she could sell it for money. But was that all the sea monster's lair had to offer? That was incredibly poor.
Thinking of this, Gu Xi couldn't help but shake her head. She felt that these things were not even as valuable as the sea beasts themselves.
