Chapter 259 [Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea] 22
Since there were so many things going on and it was a mess in the Black Tail Tribe's territory, Feng Lan knew it was very risky to go there now. Coupled with his current bad luck, he decided not to go. However, between staying in the Wufang territory and going out, he chose to travel in another direction.
Feng Lan tried to get the bad luck over with as soon as possible. After all, during dinner tonight, she, a Saiyan, choked on a chili pepper in her throat. This outrageous way caused Feng Lan to cough for more than ten minutes. She was suffocating, and her tears and nose were running. Her face was red from coughing. She ate a lot of vegetables, rice, and drinks, but she couldn't cough out the chili pepper seed. As strong as Feng Lan was, she was almost killed by a chili pepper seed.
She realized that she could not stay in the territory and had to take the initiative to go out. Bad luck was inevitable. Instead of waiting for random bad luck to appear at any time, it was better to take the initiative to attack. Even encountering a group of sharks or a volcanic eruption was better than being killed by pepper seeds, which was an outrageous thing!
The next morning, Feng Lan took Bi Ke out. She had another dream last night. She always felt restless in her dreams and felt more tired when she woke up than when she had not slept at all.
With the mentality of going to work, Feng Lan staggered out carrying the big basket containing the confused Bi Ke.
After swimming for not far, about ten kilometers, Feng Lan encountered a cold current. In the distance, he could see a line of white expanding. Feng Lan felt the temperature drop from the sea water, which brought a chill.
After a while, a stream of icy water approached, whistling. Ice flowers formed on the seabed, tiny ice fragments appeared in the sea water, and a lot of ice chips appeared on Feng Lan's body surface. Frost flowers condensed on her hair, eyelashes, skin, and tail. A slight shake could shake off large pieces of frost.
"Hiss... a little cold."
Bi Ke finally woke up. He moved, raised his head from the basket, and saw the underwater world of ice and snow.
"Wow, so many ice flowers! So cool~"
Bi Ke stretched out his tentacles and caught an ice flake that was floating on the water. He examined it carefully and put it into his mouth. "Hmm... It's cold, like ice cream, but it's salty. It's not very delicious..."
Feng Lan shivered from the cold. She quickly activated her fire ability to warm her body, and also stuffed an energy cube (a broken version) that could dissipate heat to Bi Ke next to her. It was a copy, so the effect was not good. The energy it stored was not as much as the original one, but it was just right to be used as a hot water bottle.
Bi Ke took the ball and stuffed it into the tentacles, his eyes narrowed in comfort.
But today is not over yet. I don’t know if fate is in a hurry, but Feng Lan encountered wave after wave of troubles. Not long after, she encountered an underwater landslide again. Oh my God, she actually saw a landslide on the seabed!
At first, I thought the wind and mist were getting stronger. I saw flowing clouds and smoke on the seabed, close to the ground, and the smoke was slowly gliding. In such smoke, the visibility to the naked eye was zero. In addition to being difficult to see with the naked eye, these smoke-like turbidity currents were also corrosive and destructive. They left unique scour marks, grooves and troughs wherever they passed, which had a great impact on the ecology and topography of the seabed. Because of the buoyancy of seawater, these turbidity currents carrying mud, water and rocks did not even require a large slope like the ground, and could easily destroy the already formed ecology on the seabed.
If there is no intervention from mermaids, the ecology of an area will basically become unsuitable for living organisms after these turbidity currents pass through. The original coral reefs, seabed plants, plankton and some small fish and shrimps will all be submerged in the turbidity currents, but there will not be much impact on large migratory animals.
For Feng Lan, it meant that she couldn't see. Because of her water magic, she could block the turbid currents flowing like smoke from all directions, so that they would not be absorbed into her body and cause discomfort. After hesitating for a moment, Feng Lan saw the fish running around and chose to take action.
The moving smoke was squeezed by the suddenly moving sea water as if in a replay, and gathered together to form a solid mud ball. Feng Lan threw some seeds into it, added some activity with his wood ability, and then broke the mud ball into small pieces that floated to other places with the water flow.
If a piece of mud carrying seeds falls into the right place, it may take root and sprout.
(Please do not imitate and bring in foreign plants/animals into our country, as this may cause species invasion and damage to the local ecology!!!)
Because the location is in the deep sea, Feng Lan also encountered a group of shiny giant oarfish. Their sparkling appearance emitted colorful laser light under the refraction of sunlight in the sea water. But maybe it was because the fish had lived for too long, they looked silly. One fish was dozens of meters long and 1.7 meters wide, with dull eyes and a long transparent belt on its back. It swam slowly and did not hide when it saw mermaids, which made Feng Lan wonder if he would become stupid after eating this fish.
But with the mentality of "it's so big, maybe there will be something unexpected", Feng Lan picked one of the smallest oarfish, which was only seven meters long and forty centimeters wide. After washing it, Feng Lan used his claws to separate a piece of fresh fish meat. It was soft, like jelly. He sniffed it and it tasted okay, just like sashimi. The meat was pink and contained more gelatin than ordinary fish. Feng Lan hesitated for a moment and put it in his mouth.
It was soft and chewy, a bit like eating a jelly version of fish. The gelatinous part greatly improved the taste of the fish. It was not very oily and was very chewy and soft in the mouth. It had a little salty taste like sea fish and was very juicy. It had an amazing taste. Feng Lan immediately abandoned her prejudice and cut a piece of raw fish for the curious Bi Ke next to her.
“It tastes pretty good, and has a very different texture from other fish.”
It was difficult for Feng Lan to describe the feeling, but Bi Ke also liked it after eating it, because the meat was very soft and chewy, a bit similar to his favorite cream, and the rich gelatin with a light salty taste was the finishing touch.
Feng Lan tasted a small piece, and the rest was eaten by Bi Ke, who had grown bigger with joy.
Satisfied, Feng Lan picked out two large cutlassfish and killed them immediately to take away. The rest of the oarfish were still floating there stupidly, indifferent to the death of their companions. This was also why Feng Lan thought that eating these oarfish would make people stupid. They looked really stupid. Was it because of the species?
Later on the way, Feng Lan encountered a large red tide. The entire sea area turned bright red because of these red seaweeds, and there was an unpleasant smell in the air. The oxygen in the water was also consumed by these seaweeds. Feng Lan saw a lot of large schools of fish that died due to lack of oxygen among the seaweeds. Many of them had begun to rot and emitted an unpleasant smell. This quiet scene of death made her a little uncomfortable.
After swimming away, Feng Lan could still see the bright red waves, and she felt very upset. Bi Ke did not say anything, and finally said sullenly, "So much food was wasted."
