Rebirth: I can easily control the end-of-the-world game

Chapter 239 [Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea] 2

Feng Lan swam for a long time, from a seabed hill to a coral reef. There were a lot of fish in the coral, but they were either too small, or had mud and other things attached to the outside of their shells, or had poisonous spines. In short, none of them matched her current sense of smell. She felt that these small fish smelled dry and not tasty.

After searching for a long time on the coral reef, Feng Lan caught a shell, pried it open with his claws and ate it. It was soft, smooth, and had a creamy texture with a slight sweetness. It twitched in his mouth, a completely different taste from that of a human. Feng Lan's eyes turned vertical because of the delicious taste. He was amazed by the shell!

After barely filling his stomach, Feng Lan continued to circle around the coral reef, and then he spotted a big fat fish at first sight. It looked very fat and delicious, or to put it another way, it was a big fat fish in the mermaid's sense of smell. Just looking at it made Feng Lan's mouth automatically secrete saliva. Feng Lan swam over and prepared to catch it to taste it, to find out what the delicious fish in the mermaid's sense of smell tasted like.

Stopped by someone... uh, by a fish.

“This is the fish I raised.”

A male mermaid with a black tail suddenly appeared from nowhere. He had short black hair, deep eyebrows, and a pair of dark eyes staring at Feng Lan. He looked very fierce, with muscles bulging all over his body.

Feng Lan's pupils shrank. After confirming that she could understand the mermaid's words, she felt relieved. Knowing that she almost caught someone else's fish, she apologized quickly, "Sorry, I didn't know it was yours."

After apologizing, Feng Lan was not prepared to conflict with the somewhat nervous mermaid. He immediately swam back two steps, holding a palm-sized oyster in his hand and threw it to the black-tailed mermaid.

"Um... I'm just a little hungry. This is my apology. Do you know of a good place to eat nearby? I just arrived here following the ocean current."

The black-tailed mermaid grabbed the oyster that Feng Lan threw over, put it to her nose and sniffed it. After confirming that it was okay, she pried open the shell with her claws, stared at Feng Lan and ate it. She pouted, her expression not very satisfied, "It's not tasty, it's dead."

Feng Lan breathed a sigh of relief that the mermaid was willing to communicate with her, and the tense atmosphere eased at once. She smiled, but didn't get close. She swung her tail and noticed that the black-tailed mermaid looked at her big tail with some envy. Feng Lan took note of this and thought about it.

From her observation, this black-tailed mermaid was larger than Feng Lan, and his muscles weren't exaggerated. However, Feng Lan sensed a subtle sense of intimidation from him, a bloody aura, a cold personality, and a wariness towards other mermaids. He was probably a lone fish, and the fact that he didn't reject Feng Lan's apology suggested he wasn't as cold as he appeared. He could be used as a familiar target for Feng Lan to infiltrate the mermaid clan.

"Over there, when the water warms up, there are schools of blue and gold fish."

Compared to Feng Lan, the other party obviously had no intention of communicating. After answering Feng Lan's question, he clearly showed an attitude of not wanting to talk. Feng Lan smiled, thanked him, and left in the direction he pointed.

It’s better to fill your stomach first, Feng Lan is really hungry.

If the human food in the water was not so tasty, and Feng Lan was not sure whether the human food now was suitable for human taste, he would have wanted to isolate himself from a small piece of dry space to eat some hot meals.

Wu Fang watched the mermaid with the silver tail swim in the direction he pointed without a doubt, then looked at her slow and ugly swimming posture. He couldn't help but look away and sighed in his heart.

I don't know where these mermaids came from, how could they swim so clumsily and stupidly! When he was three years old, he could swim better than her!

……

Feng Lan swam for more than half an hour before the water temperature warmed up. She was not worried that the black-tailed mermaid would deceive her. If it was a trap, it would only take some time, but it would help her eliminate an unsuitable target from approaching.

Fortunately, the mermaid Feng Lan met was a good fish. Feng Lan saw a group of large blue and gold fish swimming around in groups, swallowing plankton and small shrimps in the water.

Feng Lan seemed to be able to smell the rich aroma of fat on them through the sea water, and could imagine the sweet taste in his mouth.

"—"

Feng Lan rushed out. She did not use any abilities, but simply relied on this body to catch some food and exercise her new body at the same time.

Feng Lan searched for half an hour but found nothing.

As soon as she approached, the school of fish dispersed, and as soon as she left, the school of fish gathered again. Those fish were not as fast as Feng Lan, but their bodies were slippery. Feng Lan tried to catch them for a long time, but the webbed feet on her hands seemed to be deliberately against her, making it impossible for her to catch any fish.

She was so angry that she slapped the water with her tail, and ended up knocking out a big fish that was as long as her arm and as thick as her palm.

Feng Lan: “…Ha.”

Frog Fun JPG.

She didn't know how other mermaids ate, but Feng Lan still remembered that she was a human, so even though she had a mermaid's body, she first condensed water into a thin needle and inserted it directly into the spinal nerve in the fish's head. The fish immediately stopped jumping. Feng Lan then scraped off the scales on the outside of the fish. The rich smell of the fish became even more fragrant in Feng Lan's eyes.

She hesitated for a moment, but still took a bite of the fish belly. After all, the meat here was the most tender.

Then Feng Lan was amazed and her eyes opened wide.

The taste of raw fish is a bit like tender and smooth meat to Feng Lan. The bloody smell on it becomes an acceptable fishy sweetness in the mermaid's taste buds, which stimulates Feng Lan's taste buds. The fish meat is chewy, cold and firm, especially the fat on it, which is like ice cream to humans and is simply too delicious for mermaids!

She didn't even have to worry about the thorns inside, as they were just like a crispy chocolate bar and were easily dealt with by her teeth. Her mouth was fine and Feng Lan quickly finished a fish. The scales were a psychological barrier for Feng Lan, so she didn't bite them. She only ate the body of the fish, leaving the head and tail untouched and throwing them away. Soon, other small fish and parasitic shellfish gathered around the corpse to share the food.

Even fish scales and blood vessels are eaten by tiny plankton, and the entire seabed food chain is very complete.

Feng Lan continued to catch fish, and she soon found out why these fish were avoiding her, or rather, avoiding the mermaid.

For these fish, mermaids are their natural enemies, and they have been eliminated through generations of evolution because they cannot hide from them.

Feng Lan took this opportunity to quickly familiarize herself with her tail, and at the same time imitated the escaped fish to adjust her swimming posture.

Soon, Feng Lan learned to feel the water flow. This body was more than ten times more sensitive to water than when she was a human. She was a natural underwater hunter.

Feng Lan's claws, voice, and seemingly soft tail were all weapons that could be used, and soon she filled her stomach.

After Feng Lan had eaten, he caught two big fat fish, rubbed some seaweed, strung the two fish together, and walked back carrying the fish.

You have to thank the person who showed you the way, right?

If you bring gifts with you, it will be difficult for the other party to refuse. After a few visits, you will become familiar with the local fish.
