Chapter 225: The Sixth Day of Survival at Sea (2) Independent Space…
The beam of the waterproof flashlight opened a hole in the dark sea water.
Yu Miaomiao scanned the depths with the weak beam of light before she found Xiaoguai's trace.
A majestic cat lay lifeless, tied up in a jellyfish belt by countless black tentacles, its body squeezed and deformed.
Yu Miaomiao's heart sank suddenly, and she almost dropped the flashlight in her hand. Her breathing became rapid, and her body reacted even faster. She used the stimulant and turned on the jet device, swimming quickly towards the familiar cat figure.
Before she arrived, the scimitar in one hand had already cut off the tentacles that were reaching out to her. After cutting off a few, there was one less tentacle tied to Xiaoguai.
At this moment, she no longer cared about expedient measures and just wanted to rescue Xiaoguai as quickly as possible.
The trident is not suitable for killing, but more suitable for control. She held the scimitar in one hand and the bayonet she had just asked someone to make in the other hand, and used the jet of water to kill her way forward.
As she chopped more and more, the jellyfish stretched and retracted, releasing more tentacles, like a group of dancing snakes. She gritted her teeth and swung her hands more quickly. Every time she swung the knife, she accurately cut off at least one tentacle. Her movements were quick and decisive, without any hesitation.
She was not sure what Xiaoguai's current condition was, so she needed to race against time.
One bottle of oxygen had been used up, and she swam hard and came to Xiaoguai.
Only then did she see clearly what was going on. It was not that the black jellyfish was preventing Xiaoguai from leaving, but that Xiaoguai was holding a faintly glowing object from the jellyfish's body in his mouth, so the jellyfish could not leave.
What's worth it holding in its mouth like this, something delicious?
Yu Miaomiao nimbly dodged the tentacles in the water. When she came to the jellyfish, the spherical jellyfish, which was originally four or five meters long, slowly shrank and did not extend any new tentacles.
The monster is dead?
She tried, but couldn't put it into her backpack, which meant it wasn't completely dead.
There is no time to think about this monster now. The most important thing is to rescue Xiaoguai first. Yu Miaomiao grabbed Xiaoguai with both hands.
It still had the glowing ball tightly in its mouth, and Yu Miaomiao couldn't make any sound out even though she shouted "Let go" through the mask.
She had no choice but to hold its head with one hand and pull it away with force, at least to put an oxygen mask on Xiaoguai first.
When the mask was halfway put on, it was discovered that the ball was still connected to the jellyfish's body and could not be put on its head at all.
As she got closer, she found that Xiaoguai still had a faint breath, and his body was floating lightly in the sea.
The cat has no strength left, but still holds on tightly. What is this glowing ball?
New small tentacles kept appearing around her. Although they were not as powerful as the initial ones, their large number still greatly restricted her movements.
With two cuts, Yu Miaomiao got rid of the bunch of small tentacles wrapped around him. With the next cut, he cut off the flesh connecting the jellyfish next to Xiaoguai's teeth, and put the mask on it.
A burst of thick ink bloomed in the sea water, blurring her vision. She hurriedly fastened the rubber buckle on its neck, injected oxygen from the oxygen tank, and discharged excess water. After ensuring normal operation, she raised the knife and was about to stab the jellyfish beside her.
The knife did not feel the soft touch she had expected, but empty sea water. The ink in the water was a little lighter. She raised the knife again and stabbed at a black lump that appeared out of thin air next to Xiaoguai.
After the knife was inserted, the black mass did not struggle or move at all.
While she was trying to put the unknown object into her backpack, she had already activated the jet device and pulled the zebra cat, which was no longer restrained, upwards.
She had the special shoelaces tied around her feet that could allow her to return to the surface of the sea instantly. When she bent down and pulled them, she saw that Xiaoguai, who was wearing a mask, had opened his eyes.
There was a hint of curiosity and excitement in a pair of sapphire eyes.
"Are you awake?" Yu Miaomiao asked happily in the oxygen mask. Xiaoguai naturally didn't hear her, but broke free from her arms, paddling restlessly in the sea with one of his claws.
Looking in the direction it was swimming, that was where the black mass disappeared.
The black water gradually dissipated and the sea water returned to clear again. Yu Miaomiao, who was hanging in the sea water, used a flashlight to illuminate it. There was nothing around except reefs and sea water.
Xiaoguai turned around in place, swam back in frustration, and made a "meow" sound through the oxygen mask.
Could it be that it is looking for that black block?
Before Yu Miaomiao took the thing out of the backpack, he glanced at the holographic screen, which read "Dead Claw Octopus (22/100)".
Isn't this the same monster we encountered before, just an underwater one? Why is it so concerned about this monster? Is it hungry?
Seeing the black ball placed in the sea by Yu Miaomiao, Xiaoguai's eyes relaxed instantly. He leaned back in the sea towards her and then swam straight up.
Yu Miaomiao: ? ?
She thought she could now communicate with Xiaoguai without any obstacles, but it seems she was overthinking it.
After putting the items back into her backpack, she followed Xiaoguai out of the water and returned to the float.
Before she had time to rest, she saw Xiaoguai scratching his head with his paws in discomfort.
Yu Miaomiao looked up at the sky and saw no new clouds, so she helped it take off its mask.
There were five pterosaurs scattered on the float. The drizzle had stopped, so she might as well dismember them now.
As soon as he took out the meat cleaver, a meat pad was placed on his hand.
"Ouch!"
Yu Miaomiao asked in confusion: "You want to eat this meat?"
“Ooo ...
There is indeed a generation gap.
Recalling its strange behavior just now, Yu Miaomiao took out the black mass from the backpack. Xiaoguai's eyes lit up instantly and he made an excited "ga ga" sound.
Isn't it already dead? Is it still its prey? Or does Xiaoguai want to eat the decomposed contents of this corpse?
Point the meat cleaver at the black mass and dismember it.
[Successfully triggered the Lucky trait. Decomposed to obtain 4 dried octopus claws, 2 slime, and 2 fish claw spray gun crafting drawings. Already stored in the system warehouse.]
Generally, few monsters can be decomposed to obtain process drawings. In the desert world, only powerful monsters that glow can do so.
So the glowing sphere she just saw must be on this glowing octopus.
In other words, she had just killed a glowing monster to get this blueprint.
[System prompt: Player Miaomiao is not short of water and has unlocked the crafting of the Fish Claw Spray Gun. Wisdom value increased by 1.]
Seeing that everything had been disassembled by Yu Miaomiao, Xiaoguai returned to the room entrance with peace of mind, sat upright and shouted "Meow".
It stayed underwater the entire time, not coming up, just to help her bite the glowing ball, so that Yu Miaomiao could kill it and successfully dismember it?
Xiaoguai...you are so good.
Yu Miaomiao put the grilled shrimps from the backpack into its bowl, and Xiaoguai started eating them like a normal cat, as if the cat that was on the verge of death and had difficulty breathing was not him.
Her heart was filled with warmth. After petting Xiaoguai, she returned to the workbench to see what this new technology was.
The simple instructions after the item synthesis say that it is a weapon that can be used underwater.
Just these few simple words were enough to make her excited.
No wonder Xiaoguai refused to tell anyone, it turns out that this monster could drop such good items.
No, it should be more than that.
The glowing monster was the monster that she often asked Xiaoguai to find in the desert world before. So Xiaoguai thought that killing the glowing monster would make Yu Miaomiao happy and make her stronger?
Although Xiaoguai couldn't kill the desert monsters directly when surviving in the desert before, she killed several of them in the sea. As for the one in the sea, it kept biting it and didn't kill it, which was like Miaomiao coming.
Yu Miaomiao wanted to kill the glowing monster before because it could speed up the upgrade of the resource search function. Now she has upgraded to the advanced level, so naturally she doesn’t need it anymore. But Xiaoguai didn’t know. It only knew that Yu Miaomiao needed it, so it waited for her to come.
Yu Miaomiao touched Xiaoguai's head with emotion, and wanted to continue rubbing it, but it dodged away in fear, making mumbling and whimpering sounds.
In its eyes, this human being was crying and laughing at the same time, and his emotions were very unstable, so it was better to stay away from him.
So Yu Miaomiao looked at a zebra cat curled up on its cat mat with its butt facing her.
All right...
Xiaoguai's size has doubled, and the cat mat is no longer big enough for him to sleep on. After Yu Miaomiao finished sewing a new mat, she started making new weapons on the workbench.
After the pterosaur cloud appeared, Xiaoguai did not make any new movements, but slept on the mat with his eyes closed.
He looks really tired.
After a few cannon shots, the pterosaur corpses floated one by one in the surrounding sea. When Yu Miaomiao went out to pick up the corpses, Xiaoguai just frowned and narrowed his eyes. After making sure she was still nearby, he closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
After an hour of work, the fish claw spray gun was finally successfully made. Before she could try it out, the familiar system sound came into her ears again.
【System prompt: Please draw your gift pack card】
Three translucent cards were suspended over the side of the ship.
There was silence all around, the boat still maintained the sliding arc of the last second, and the little kid in the house remained in the same position.
The background color of the card blends in with the deep blue sea, and the vines in the card seem to be crawling out of the sea.
I flipped over the first card and saw a few words written on it: "Sea Prop Card."
The graphics and brightness of these three cards are almost identical.
The second one was opened and it said "Prop Card."
The range is wider, but it is still a prop card.
The third one is "Historical Prop Card."
Or a prop card.
What does the historical prop card mean? Is it something that existed in the past and will never exist again, or something she has seen before? It's too vague.
No matter which one you choose, it seems to be pretty much the same.
Yu Miaomiao didn't know what Xiaoguai would do during these few minutes of delay. For the first time, she didn't choose a card immediately, but walked back into the house.
I came to the zebra cat whose breathing had stopped a second ago, and its stomach was still in the inhaling state.
She slowly stretched out her hand, but before her fingertips touched Xiaoguai's body, an elastic force pushed her fingers away, and an electric current passed through her.
The three cards outside the door reappeared in front of her after the electric current passed through them, floating in the room, between her and Xiaoguai.
If she doesn't choose it, will she not be able to touch other objects?
She had never tried doing anything else while drawing cards before, so she wanted to give it a try this time.
Just as she was about to touch the sofa behind her, the familiar countdown sound rang out.
There was supposed to be a five-minute selection period, and this time it was less than two minutes, so why was there only three seconds left?
Did she trigger some card drawing protection mechanism?
Her next finger immediately touched the "Sea Prop Card."
The sound of waves appeared behind him again, and Xiaoguai's soft gurgling was heard below him, as if the world that had just been still had never existed.
She vaguely felt that perhaps all the things around her did not stop, but teleported her to a separate space, and the surrounding scene was just the same as it was at the time of teleportation.
It's like she spent 10 days in the apocalypse, but to people outside, she might have only been gone for a few hours or even minutes.
Does going back and collecting those cards make them effective mean breaking this independent space?
