Chapter 156 will drop fish scales
The fish and the turtle started chatting happily.
This left Su Tinglu unsure whether she should try to catch the ghost fish.
The Spotted Water Turtle seemed to sense her hesitation and said, "Lulu, don't worry. The spirit liquid isn't only found on ghost fish. Perhaps you could try something else..."
The Spotted Turtle obediently shut its mouth and spoke in a telepathic manner: "You can take a look at the scales that the Ghost Fish doesn't want."
Generally speaking, some animals in nature need to molt or shed their skin, but marine life, especially fish, generally do not.
But the survival world is different.
Fish in the deep sea often molt... that is, shed their fur.
However, they are descaled fish.
The old scales disappear, and once new scales grow, their strength will increase again.
Just like the Hehuan Sect in the cultivation world, there is no need to cultivate as hard as sword cultivators; one can make rapid progress simply by cultivating together.
This allows them to simply eat and sleep, and then eat and sleep again, thus increasing their strength while lying down.
These fish just happen to have lived on the seabed for tens of thousands of years, or even countless years.
This makes their strength unfathomable.
Anyway, the prompts Su Tinglu saw never included the strength level of these fish.
Su Tinglu had two guesses about this. The first guess was that the golden finger didn't want to tell her, for fear of scaring her.
The second guess is that the level and strength of these fish have exceeded the scope known from the hint.
Therefore, it will naturally not be displayed.
Since the ghost fish contains a lot of spiritual liquid, its scales, being part of its body, must also contain a small amount of spiritual liquid.
That's why the Spotted Water Turtle gave Su Tinglu that hint.
Su Tinglu thought about it and agreed, so she went straight to the point and asked, "Ghost Fish, do you still have those scales you shed?!"
"Fish scales?" The ghost fish exclaimed in surprise. "What do you need my fish scales for?"
Seeing its expression, Su Tinglu thought the ghost fish didn't want to give it to her.
But unexpectedly, two blushes suddenly appeared on the ghost fish's dark face.
"Oh dear, I'm so shy! You dead fish, you've only just come in and you're already trying to pursue me."
The voice that was spoken was neither too loud nor too soft, but it attracted all the fish that were secretly watching from the sidelines.
Su Tinglu then saw a bunch of prompts appear before her eyes, all of which introduced various types of fish.
[Deep-sea squid: Do not eat! Don't be fooled by their name; they can cause poisoning if consumed!]
Deep-sea cuttlefish: Not edible. Despite being cuttlefish, they don't squirt ink; they only expel ink. They typically feed on squid and are the natural predators of squid.
Deep-sea sharks: They make monkey-like sounds in their throats. Don't be fooled by their shark appearance; they actually prefer to eat seaweed and their favorite pastime is watching the excitement.
Deep-sea monkeys: They look very much like monkeys, but they can survive in the deep sea, and many creatures dare not bully them. They are considered one of the most formidable creatures in the deep sea.
...
There are many more.
Su Tinglu was stunned when she saw these prompts.
What should I do? I feel like my worldview is collapsing again, and then being rebuilt by these prompts.
This is a world completely opposite to the real world.
If you're strong enough, you can see all sorts of strange and wonderful things.
Su Tinglu looked at the deep-sea monkey that she was most curious about... and then she saw that the deep-sea monkey was also completely black, and was even sitting on the back of a deep-sea shark.
The deep-sea shark even showed a particularly blissful expression.
Seemingly noticing Su Tinglu's gaze, he grinned smugly.
It's like she's showing off that she has a water monkey sitting on her, while she doesn't.
Su Tinglu: ...
There's absolutely no need for that.
When she recalled the words of the deep-sea ghost fish, she realized what her words meant.
mean……
The ghost fish mistakenly thought it had taken a liking to it.
Su Tinglu: ...
At this moment, the spotted turtle next to her swam over apologetically: "Sorry, Lulu, I forgot to tell you, in the deep sea world, asking these fish for things they've dropped is a courtship behavior."
Su Tinglu: ...
Why didn't you say so earlier?
Meh.
She's a living, breathing person, how could she be with fish...?
She picked up the hem of her pink skirt and wiped away the invisible sweat, saying sheepishly, "It's nothing, it's nothing. But how can I subtly ask the ghost fish for their scales?!"
Before the Spotted Turtle could speak, the Ghost Fish spoke first.
"Big pink fish, you want the elixir, right?"
Upon seeing Su Tinglu's pink dress, Ghost Fish finally realized something.
Su Tinglu could be described as crying tears of joy.
Great! The misunderstanding that Ghost Fish had about himself can finally be cleared up.
She nodded frantically: "Yes, what I want is the elixir. I heard from the Star-Spotted Water Turtle that your fish scales contain the elixir. Is that true?"
The ghost fish glanced at the spotted water turtle and nodded: "Yes, it's spirit liquid."
"If you want the elixir... it's actually not that complicated."
As it spoke, a hint of disdain flashed in its eyes.
"To tell you the truth, what we hate most here is spirit liquid. It stinks and smells awful."
"The reason we lose our scales is because every now and then, those scales emit a foul odor, which makes us fish feel very uncomfortable."
"In order not to affect our living environment, we will uniformly remove fish scales in the deep sea cave."
"You like those... do you want to take them all?!"
Surprisingly, Su Tinglu could detect in the fish's mouths a desire for her to take them all.
...
Ha ha? !
Did we accidentally end up in a fish-scale garbage dump?!
Su Tinglu naturally nodded frantically in agreement.
"Sure, I'll take them all."
Next, she noticed that all the fish around her were looking at her with a strange expression.
It was as if she were some kind of monster.
Su Tinglu noticed it too.
Maybe they thought she was strange.
It's like being in a group of people who don't like durian, cilantro, stinky tofu, or onions, ginger, and garlic, and suddenly shouting, "I like all of these!"
However, these fish were still very friendly and led her to the deep-sea cave.
When she was taken there, the ghost fish looked at her with a complicated expression, and hesitated to speak several times.
Su Tinglu: ...
It's obvious without even guessing that he probably wanted to ask her if she couldn't smell the stench.
She really can't smell it.
Along the way, seeing that the fish around her all looked like they were in a "yue" mood, Su Tinglu also took a sniff, but couldn't smell anything.
Su Tinglu thought that this was perhaps the difference between her and the fish.
Surrounded by a group of fish, Su Tinglu felt like she was turning into one herself.
