Chapter 154 Starfish and Hairtail
Chapter 154 Starfish and Hairtail
Feng Chan: "Will the barrier become weaker the more humans catch? Is it just ordinary small fish, or does it have to be of a certain level?"
"That's fine. If we wait any longer, humans will be wiped out sooner or later." Starfish said as if remembering something. "Didn't you guys in Mermaid City just issue a wanted notice for a human disguised as a mermaid? What color was his hair, anyway?"
Feng Chan suddenly felt something was wrong. She had just broken into a prison a few days ago. She didn't think it was her that was being talked about. Fortunately, she had changed her hair to blue just in case.
"Well, I'll go back first, otherwise my parents will worry." Feng Chan said and slipped away.
The starfish felt a little regretful, as it had thought it could chat for a while longer.
However, there was something wrong with the place she came from, but it quickly denied it, thinking that all humans were evil, and that little mermaid was so cute and polite, and was a child that only the tolerant sea could raise.
Feng Chan let out a long sigh after walking for a long distance. Although it was a bit risky just now, she also got a lot of information.
It is definitely unrealistic to ask everyone to stop fishing. Without fish, an important source of food, most players will go hungry.
As for protecting living things or the environment, that is something that we will only have extra energy to pay attention to when our lives get better.
There are very few steadfast idealists who will disregard their own circumstances and protect the natural environment. This may seem silly to some people, but the world becomes a better place because of them, and we cannot do without these people.
Feng Chan admires these people, but she is a realistic person and will not stop catching marine life.
In the current situation, no matter how much she talks in the world chat, it is useless. No one will stop fishing. If she stops, she will fall behind everyone and her ability to resist risks will also decrease.
With a large population base, the opening of the barrier is inevitable and cannot be delayed for long. In this case, instead of waiting to die on the spot, it is better to improve your strength and increase the possibility of survival.
Thinking of this, Feng Chan swam even faster.
10 hours later.
It was already dark, and the light on the seabed was almost gone. A ray of light was moving slowly on the seabed.
Feng Chan held up the underwater flashlight she had collected, allowing her to see the situation nearby clearly. Due to her mermaid characteristics, her vision was also good in the water at night, and she could also distinguish many things by sensing the flow of sea water and smell.
Along the way, she harvested a lot of lone fish, filling three grids. She also harvested a lot of cards and some green props, which she put into the storage bag when they could not fit in the backpack.
At this time, a silver-shining cutlassfish appeared in front of Feng Chan, its body half a meter wide.
"Little mermaid?"
"You're going in the wrong direction."
After going to the sea several times, she has some understanding of marine life. The creatures here can be roughly divided into two types. One is the ordinary marine life like the ones on Blue Star, which have average attack and defense and are food in the sea.
A type of fish that is more spiritual or can speak. It has a higher IQ, and its force and defense are far superior to ordinary fish. Some of them even have skills.
The difference between the two can be illustrated by land creatures, such as the difference between other animals and humans.
However, the "humans" on the seabed are divided into populations, and their appearance has changed from ordinary marine creatures, and some are not even much different.
For example, the giant starfish is just an enlarged version of the starfish.
It is obvious that the cutlassfish in front belongs to the "human" in the sea.
Feng Chan pretended to sob twice: "I was carried away by the undercurrent and couldn't find my way. It took me a long time to swim here."
The hairtail sighed and looked her up and down. "You're still young, aren't you? With your tiny body, how can your parents let you swim around? This place is too far from the Mermaid City. I'll take you to the Trash City first."
"Thank you, sorry for the trouble." Feng Chan agreed obediently.
The cutlassfish swam around and started talking: "What was that in your hand just now?"
"My parents got it from humans." Feng Chan interrupted its curiosity. She had already changed into the clothes bought by Ai Li.
"Oh--"
Unexpectedly, the hairtail fish asked another question: "Do your parents have human things?"
Feng Chan: "What use are human things?"
Hairtail: "Well, let me tell you the truth, there are some things that humans have that people here like, and they're willing to pay a high price for them if they like them."
"That's a shame. My parents were handed over to the soldiers and locked up. This lighting device is the only thing left."
As Feng Chan spoke, her eyes were always observing the surrounding environment. It seemed that she was leading herself to a rocky area in the distance. The piles of high and low stones were easy to hide fish.
This direction deviates from the direction mentioned by the starfish, so one must be on guard against fish, as she has already encountered one once.
"Aren't we there yet?" Feng Chan pretended to be tired from swimming.
The cutlassfish swam ahead, looking back repeatedly and pretending to be relaxed: "We're almost there, we're almost there, little mermaid, be patient."
After repeatedly emphasizing that something was wrong with it, Feng Chan released a frenzied chain and tied it up tightly with lightning speed.
"You, what are you doing! Let me go." The cutlassfish wanted to use its physical advantage to slide out, but the chain became tighter and tighter, as if its bones were about to be broken. It couldn't breathe, and the mucus all over its body had no effect at all.
It spit out a stream of water to attack, but Feng Chan easily dodged it.
Feng Chan dragged it away from the rocky area and asked sternly, "You're not heading towards Trash City."
The cutlassfish's attack power is not strong. Just now on the road, it realized that it could not beat the little mermaid in front of it, even though the gap was not that big.
"That's a shortcut over there. It's fine if you didn't know about it, but why did you tie me up? You're so ungrateful. I should have just let you get lost."
It felt that Feng Chan was still young and must have a weak will. After hearing what it said, she might feel guilty and let it go.
Unexpectedly, Feng Chan took out a dagger and poked its head. "Do your companions know you've been captured? Can they rescue you faster than my knife?"
Hairtail's voice trembled, fear in his eyes: "You, you are not a mermaid, you are a human!"
There were almost no humans coming to the seabed before. Although a few people entered the underwater world a few days ago, most of the fish had never seen it, and one of the humans was even caught and tortured as a warning to the public.
Everyone subconsciously thinks the danger is not high and doesn't think they will encounter it.
The hairtail fish originally had the intention of trafficking, thinking only that he could make money, and didn't think about it in other ways at all. It was only after he was caught and saw things in Feng Chan's hands that did not belong to the seabed that he realized it.
Feng Chan's mouth corners suddenly lifted, and she looked very friendly: "As long as you tell me the news about the ocean, I can spare your life and give you money. The better the news, the more money you will get."
