章 30: Spirit of the Island
編集者: Atlas Studios
The two of them walked straight to the seaside.
According to the map, apart from the Transcendence Level 5 Ironback Tortoise in the center of the island, Chen Mo didn't care about the other spiritual beasts.
Chen Mo and He Siyao arrived at the sea after clearing up a few spirit beasts they bumped into on the way.
There were two soldiers stationed on the beach. This was to prevent students who were courting death from leaving the island.
"Can you do me a favor? Get your Sparkling Butterfly to use bubbles to spread this fish food in the sea not far away."
Chen Mo asked He Siyao.
"No problem!"
"I wonder what kind of spiritual fish I can encounter."
Looking at the fish food, Chen Mo was more or less looking forward to it.
The fragrance of the high-end fish food he bought this time could spread far and wide. He hoped to attract some rare fish.
However, after a while, only stinky fish and rotten prawns were attracted over. There were even very few spiritual fish.
"The effect of this attribute doesn't seem to be very powerful."
Chen Mo sighed. When he looked up, he vaguely noticed that a small island had appeared on the sea not far away.
"Jiu Bao, I don't think… there was this island there just now, right?"
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment before he poked Xiao Jiu in his arms and asked.
"Chirp!" (No!)
Xiao Jiu shook its head, its eyes filled with doubt.
The island in their line of sight gradually enlarged. This "island" could move and was rapidly approaching them!
"It's the Spirit of the Island. Run!"
Chen Mo immediately thought of a spirit beast and shouted.
Let's go, let's escape while this big fish is eating!
The Spirit of the Island was an extremely rare Whale-type Spiritual Beast. It got its name because it would carry a small island on its back and parade in the sea. When it was young, the length of the Spirit of the Island was dozens of meters. When it reached adulthood, the length of the Giant Oceanic Whale could be hundreds of meters!
As the "island" approached, the waves on the sea not far away churned.
In the next second, the "island" suddenly rose up. Then, a huge black shadow swam past and swallowed all the fish food in one bite.
"F*ck! It's not that this fishing expert isn't awesome, but he's too awesome! He let me encounter a rare big fish like the Spirit of the Island!"
As Chen Mo ran, he cursed crazily in his heart.
"It's a pity that I don't have the luck to enjoy it! With this big guy coming over, I'm not the one fishing, but it's the one catching me!"
As He Siyao ran, she took out a scroll engraved with dark blue patterns. This scroll contained a peak Commander-level ocean current barrier.
It was a life-saving tool her father had prepared for her.
"Are we interfering?"
In the surveillance room, a soldier asked Instructor Jiang when he saw this scene.
"Stay here and watch. I'll go over and take a look."
Instructor Jiang said.
The Spirits of the Islands often resided in the deep sea. They were spirit beasts that lived in groups.
If one Spirit of the Island appeared, there might be a group of Spirits of the Island or Giant Oceanic Whale hiding somewhere!
If that was really the case, then this training could only be canceled first!
"Woo—" (Save me…)
While Chen Mo was escaping, he heard a sound similar to the sound of trains in the old era. It was the sound of the Spirit of the Island.
Was this Spirit of the Island… asking for help?
Because of his Beast Language talent, he understood the meaning of this whale cry.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Mo turned around and saw that the Spirit of the Island was still lingering near the shallow sea. It had no intention of approaching.
"What can I do for you, my friend?"
Chen Mo felt that his current position was still considered safe, so he stopped and used his Beast Language talent to shout at the Spirit of the Island.
The huge figure of the Spirit of the Island stopped in an instant, as if it could not believe that the human in front of it had actually responded!
Every Spirit of the Island would use a special frequency to communicate with its companions or clansmen. However, ever since it was born, the frequency of its voice had far exceeded that of other Spirit of the Island, so no "human" could hear its voice
Now, someone could actually hear its voice and call it friend!
"Woo—" (Can you help me clean up my dirty clothes?)
It still sounded like a long whistle.
Hearing the Spirit of the Island's plea, Chen Mo was a little hesitant. It was only when he saw Instructor Jiang's figure not far away that he felt much more at ease. Hence, he slowly approached the Spirit of the Island.
The Spirit of the Island slowly swam towards the beach, then turned around and revealed its belly in front of Chen Mo.
Generally speaking, the skin on the belly of Spirit of the Island was deep black and there were shining star patterns like stars on it.
If one stood below the Spirit of the Island and looked up at it, they would be able to see a dazzling starry sky. The visual effect was extremely gorgeous.
However, the surface of this Spirit of the Island's belly was covered in a scarlet reef-like thing.
There were so many of them that it was enough to make anyone with trypophobia's hair stand on end.
The scarlet barnacle was a special mutated barnacle in the Spiritual Realm. Although it was not a spirit beast, it had a strange blood-sucking ability. It usually resided in whale-type spirit beasts and absorbed their blood to strengthen itself.
It was very difficult for these whale-type spirit beasts to clean the scarlet barnacles on their bodies alone because they were deeply rooted. Moves like water spears could not eliminate them at all.
"So you want me to help you clean the barnacles! No problem, but won't your companions help you clean them?"
Chen Mo asked curiously.
He had read in his high school textbook that the Spirits of the Islands were spirit beasts that lived in groups. Their companions would help them clean the barnacles on their bodies.
"Woo—" (I don't have any friends…)
The voice of the Spirit of the Island was clearly a little depressed.
Because it could not communicate with its companions, it chose to leave its pack and drift alone in the sea, eager to find an existence that could understand its words.
Later, more and more barnacles accumulated on its body and now it was almost to the point of death.
Today, it was still drifting aimlessly by the seaside when it happened to smell a fragrance. As a "foodie", it swam over along the fragrance and saw Chen Mo on the shore.
When it saw Chen Mo, it cried for help as usual. In fact, it did not have much hope.
In the end, this human actually responded!
"Sorry, let's help you clean the barnacles! Xiao Jiu, the electric fence."
"Chirp!"
The Blazing Flame Fox condensed an electric net that intertwined with electric arcs and covered the surface of the Spirit of the Island's skin. Amidst a series of crackling sounds, the scarlet barnacles scattered like paper scraps.
The Blazing Flame Fox's electric net could be said to be the nemesis of these scarlet barnacles.
Terrifying electric currents ran through the bodies of every barnacle, directly shattering their internal structures.
The Transcendence-level electric current was not something they could resist. Of course, the electric current was no different from tickling to the Spirit of the Island.
