Chapter 155 Deep-Sea Fish
"Ghost fish? Where?!"
Su Tinglu looked around but couldn't see any ghost fish.
Logically speaking, a ghost fish, as its name suggests, should emit a flame-like glow, like a ghost.
But it was pitch black all around, with no light at all.
Not to mention seeing ghost fish.
The spotted water turtle pointed in a direction and looked at Su Tinglu, gesturing for her to look in that direction.
Su Tinglu looked in the direction it was pointing and saw a black fish swimming not far away. It seemed to be aware of their gaze and was blinking its eyes curiously at them.
Is that a ghost fish?!
Su Tinglu was genuinely surprised.
She opened her storage space and glanced at the ghost fish that the spotted turtle had shown her earlier, then looked at the ghost fish in front of her...
Yes, that's really unbelievable.
At this moment, Su Tinglu saw a different kind of prompt.
[Deep-sea ghost fish (live): A living ghost fish that lives in the deep sea and survives by preying on deep-sea ghosts. When dead, its body emits a ghostly, shimmering white light. When alive, to avoid being hunted by predators, it changes its color to match the deep sea.]
Su Tinglu suddenly realized.
So the ghost fish that the spotted turtle had just given me was dead.
Dead ghost fish are distinguished from living ghost fish.
Su Tinglu looked at the Spotted Water Turtle and, for some reason, felt that the Ghost Fish not far away seemed a bit dazed.
The way they looked at him was full of curiosity; it was clear they had never seen a human before.
That makes sense, though. This is the deep sea, and the area is newly developed, so how could any survivors have come here before?
This piqued Su Tinglu's curiosity.
"Turtle, if that's the case, where did you get that ghost fish you just gave me?"
How did the spotted turtle manage to scoop up the ghost fish in just a few minutes from such deep waters?!
The Spotted Water Turtle looked at her with a strange expression and said matter-of-factly, "My hand speed is the fastest in the world."
Su Tinglu: ...
Teenagers with delusions of grandeur have a lot of fun.
She promptly shut her mouth and stopped asking questions.
Thinking about it, it makes sense. With the current strength of the Spotted Water Turtle, it can get whatever it wants. It must have its own secrets for saying that.
Su Tinglu nodded: "Alright, alright, your hand speed is the best in the world."
Just go with the flow.
The spotted turtle was indeed won over, revealing a smug expression; anyone who didn't know better would think it had obtained some kind of treasure.
Su Tinglu cautiously approached the ghost fish not far away. When the ghost fish saw her coming, it not only did not leave, but swam directly towards her.
This made it difficult for Su Tinglu to pull out the fishing net hidden behind her.
What should I do? This fish looks so innocent, I almost don't have the heart to hurt it!
Then the next moment...
Su Tinglu then caught the fish in the fishing net.
The ghost fish blinked its clear eyes, looking bewildered inside the fishing net.
Su Tinglu didn't even dare to look the fish in the eye.
What should I do? Should I break this fish apart? But it's worth five bottles of spirit liquid!
If you break it down, this fish looks so innocent that she almost feels sorry for it.
Soon, the ghost fish made the decision for Su Tinglu on its own.
"Hello, are you the new big fish? I don't think I've ever seen you before."
The Ghost Fish King had lived in this deep sea for far too long, so long that it had forgotten what kind of fish had ever come here.
But it was certain that it had never seen this fish before.
Su Tinglu couldn't take it anymore and, under the watchful gaze of the Spotted Water Turtle, released the Ghost Fish.
At the same time, Su Tinglu also noticed many fish with cues on them, surging towards this side.
[Deep-sea manta ray: This is a manta ray that lives in the deep sea. They only exist in the deep sea and are an extremely rare fish. Because they have never seen survivors, they may appear cute and harmless, but be careful if you anger them. The way they eat you is just like a devil!]
Su Tinglu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw what was ahead.
As I read on, my heart, which had been at ease, started to race again.
That's so scary!
Strangely, she also seemed to be able to hear the sound of the manta ray.
"Ghost, ghost, who are you talking to? We haven't had any big fish here in ages. Did you accidentally eat some deep-sea squid and get drunk?"
Su Tinglu almost coughed a few times when she heard those words.
If she hadn't brought an oxygen tank and oxygen mask, she would have definitely burst out laughing.
The survival world is still incredibly challenging to understand.
But what shocked Su Tinglu even more was yet to come.
The ghost fish in front of me suddenly spat out a string of bubbles, and then... the bubbles turned into a stone. Amazingly, the stone did not sink to the bottom of the sea, but instead flew in a parabola straight towards the place where the words had just been spoken.
Su Tinglu: ?
The spotted turtle didn't seem surprised at all.
That's perfectly normal.
The magnetic field and pressure in the deep sea are different from those in the real world. Everything here can be changed at will as long as you are strong enough.
If it wanted, it could even suck up all the fish in the seabed, but that would affect its strength and luck, so the Spotted Turtle didn't do that.
Su Tinglu was stunned by what she saw.
I never expected that the stone wouldn't fall into the sea.
But what she saw next shocked her once again.
The stone that had been thrown bounced back and landed straight in the ghost fish's throat.
Su Tinglu: ...
The ghost fish even swallowed the rock whole!
He even let out a burp: "Burp, that was delicious."
Su Tinglu: ...
It saw the clue inside the ghost fish's belly.
Ghost fish roe: It has extremely high nutritional value, can strengthen the body and improve physical fitness, but the taste is terrible, it's very hard, so be careful with your teeth when eating it, there are no dental services in the survival world.
Su Tinglu: ...
What a thoughtful tip!
This made Su Tinglu give up the idea of taking back the ghost fish eggs. The rock was so hard, it was better to let the ghost fish hatch into ghost fish on its own.
The ghost fish seemed to sense that Su Tinglu's aura was unusual, and greeted the star-spotted turtle: "Hello, star-spotted turtle, it's nice to meet you here."
This is the first time a living being has correctly pronounced its own name!
The spotted turtle was overjoyed!
I rushed up to the ghost fish and greeted it: "Hello, ghost fish! It's nice to meet you too!"
