Giant Fish Survival: I Can Hear the Giant Fish's Heart

The pure gold treasure chest contained only these items. Zhou Wen put them into his deep blue treasure chest and then quickly left the mushroom pile.

Back at the edge of the mushroom pile, Zhou Wen put away his black crystal armor and touched a mushroom that had no electricity, but he didn't unlock any new creature encyclopedia entries. So, he simply pulled up a mushroom that was a dozen centimeters long.

[Ding! Obtained 1 negative oxygen ion mushroom.]

[Ding! Negative Oxygen Ion Mushroom: Releases negative oxygen ions during growth. Once the concentration of negative oxygen ions reaches a certain level, absorption can continuously increase physical constitution. Direct consumption can increase physical constitution by 20 points.]

"Good stuff!"

Zhou Wen quickly looked into the clouds behind him and found that the clouds were getting thinner and thinner, but the round, fluffy balls had not returned yet. So, he immediately started picking the small mushrooms on the ground. These mushrooms had no electric current on their surfaces, so there was no need to worry about getting an electric shock.

While Zhou Wen was picking mushrooms, he discovered another creature under them. The creature looked like a ladybug, about the size of a palm, and was completely transparent, as if it were carved from crystal. Its oval back was covered with irregular crystals about one centimeter in size.

These negative ion mushrooms grow on these irregular crystals, clearly indicating a connection between these crystal ladybug-like creatures and the negative ion mushrooms.

Seeing that the crystal ladybug was not aggressive and was only placing the crystals on its back at the base of a large negative ion mushroom, Zhou Wen reached out, grabbed one, touched it, and checked its biological information.

【Pure oxygen crystallizing insects】

Body length: 10 cm

Weight: 10 kg

Food type: Oxygen

Description: A type of beetle that lives in symbiosis with Leviathan, which can absorb oxygen from the air and condense it into oxygen crystals on its back. It uses these oxygen crystals to cultivate negative ion fungi, and the oxygen crystals can be used to aid combustion and respiration.

"These pure oxygen crystallizers are a good thing too." Zhou Wen wanted to cultivate negative oxygen ion mushrooms after returning home, which required oxygen crystallization. Oxygen crystallization could also aid combustion and respiration. These two points alone could generate enormous value.

Next, Zhou Wen took out a wooden bucket and started picking mushrooms and catching pure oxygen crystal insects. He would occasionally look back to make sure the round furball came back and found him stealing things, so that it wouldn't be caught off guard and strike him with lightning.

After some time, the sun had completely risen above the sea level, and the clouds in the stomach wall space of the Leviathan had all disappeared. The round fur balls returned one after another, and Zhou Wen immediately stopped his raiding.

The round furball seemed very tired. Its originally round eyes looked listless. When it came back, it only glanced at Zhou Wen briefly before its gaze fell on the big mushroom.

The moment the round fuzz ball came into contact with the mushroom, the wisps of electricity shimmering on the surface of the large mushroom began to converge toward the round fuzz ball, as if it were charging the fuzz ball.

"This symbiotic system is quite complex." Zhou Wen saw the giant mushroom charging the round fur ball, and combined with his previous discoveries, the symbiotic relationship of four organisms immediately came to mind.

The round, fluffy balls ionize water molecules in the clouds, producing hydrogen and oxygen. The cloud-eating Leviathan absorbs the hydrogen to grow, while the pure oxygen crystallizers absorb some oxygen to produce oxygen crystals, providing nutrients for the negative oxygen ion mushrooms.

When the negative oxygen ion mushrooms grow to a certain size, they generate an electric current, which charges the round hairballs. The Cloud-Eating Leviathan then ingests the clouds and mist, and the round hairballs continue to ionize the water molecules in the clouds and mist, thus creating a continuous cycle.

"We've taken everything we were entitled to, so this pest control should be over now."

Zhou Wen killed one of the floating bubble worms he had left behind, but the extermination was not over, because after the mist in the stomach space dissipated, he missed a few more floating cloud white stripe worms.

With the clouds and fog gone and the sunlight shining through, the remaining white-striped worms were clearly visible; there were a total of seven.

Zhou Wen killed six of them in one go. When he killed the last one, the Floating Cloud White-striped Worm, he found two round hair balls wrapped around its white-striped tentacles. The round hair balls released electric current, but it had no effect on the Floating Cloud White-striped Worm.

Soon, the round ball of fur ran out of power and completely lost its ability to resist.

Seeing this, Zhou Wen swung his sword and severed the white tentacles that were binding the round fur ball, helping the round fur ball break free from its restraints.

The two round fur balls tumbled in the air, shaking off the white tentacles wrapped around their bodies, and then slowly floated towards Zhou Wen. Seeing that there was no longer any electricity on the surface of the two round fur balls, Zhou Wen reached out and caught them, and checked their biological information.

【Electric Fur Ball】

Body length: 10 cm

Weight: 100 grams

Food type: Hydrogen

Description: A symbiotic organism with Leviathan, which can absorb the electric current in negative oxygen ion mushrooms and then release it, which can ionize fresh water to obtain hydrogen and oxygen.

"Wow, it's so soft." The fluffy body of the electric pom-pom feels very comfortable to touch, and its overall appearance is also very cute.

The two shimmering fur balls didn't seem to be planning to leave, so Zhou Wen decided to take them home as pets.

With a single strike, the last floating cloud worm was killed, and a levitation factor was obtained. All the parasites in the stomach wall space of the Cloud Eater Leviathan were also cleared, and the extermination was perfectly completed.

As the golden phantom of Leviathan appeared, Zhou Wen remembered that there were two stone walls inside the esophagus. So he immediately ran into the esophagus of the Cloud-Eating Leviathan, put away the two stone walls, and was then swallowed by the golden phantom.

The next second, Zhou Wen appeared in the stomach wall space of the transformed Leviathan.

The transformed Leviathan had just woken up and started moving around, and Zhou Wenqing tallied up his gains this time.

A total of 290 levitation factors were obtained. 50 were used for the Black Crystal Armor, leaving 240. Zhou Wen directly stored them in the storage cabinet.

A total of 3000 Triangular Firefly corpses were collected. The description mentioned that the Triangular Firefly corpses could be used as materials for transforming into the Leviathan Scale Transformation stage. Although he himself would not use them, his subordinates could use them, or they could be sold.

We only brought back 10 pure oxygen crystallizers because they are quite large. If we brought back too many, we wouldn't have anywhere to raise them. However, we did bring back a lot of oxygen crystals, a total of 1000.

There were 100 negative oxygen ion mushrooms of various sizes. Zhou Wen selected two 90-centimeter-tall negative oxygen ion mushrooms to cultivate. They would generate an electric current when they grew to 1 meter, which could charge the electric light fuzz ball.

Zhou Wen planted these two negative ion mushrooms in two small aquariums, but without adding water. Instead, he laid a layer of oxygen crystals at the bottom, using a total of 200 oxygen crystals, and placed 5 pure oxygen crystal insects in each aquarium.

Two shimmering balls of electricity floated curiously around in the stomach wall space. After Zhou Wen planted two 90-centimeter-long negative oxygen ion mushrooms, they landed on one of the mushrooms. However, their round eyes showed confusion because the mushroom had no electricity.

Then they floated to another mushroom, but there was still no electricity. After floating back and forth between the two mushrooms for a while, they gave up completely and finally landed on the cap of one of them to rest.

The food for the electric fluffball is hydrogen, and Zhou Wen has a freshwater hydrogen-oxygen ionization machine, so he's not worried about the electric fluffball not having food, but he does feel a bit of danger.

After checking his haul, Zhou Wen took out the [Transformation Leviathan Scale Transformation Stage Ultimate Recipe], which he hadn't looked at in a long time, from the storage cabinet. Upon opening it, he was surprised to find that the recipe already displayed four ingredients.
