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

Bone fluke

Body length: 30 cm

Weight: 10 kg

Food type: Blood

Description: A parasite that lives inside a giant creature. It has a hard bony armor and will retract its soft body into the armor when in danger. The armor can be used to make armor.

"Since there's no description of its aggressiveness, it's probably a parasite that won't attack proactively." After figuring out the basic information about the bone fluke, Zhou Wen looked at the other parasites that were still sucking blood. He thought of a better way to deal with these parasites.

Zhou Wen put down his wooden shield and iron broadsword, put on spiked gloves, and approached a bone fluke. Sensing danger, the bone fluke immediately retreated into its bone shell.

Zhou Wen reached out and grabbed the bone beetle, trying to pull it off the stomach wall. However, the bone beetle had eight chelipeds with barbs on them, which were used to hook onto the stomach wall and fix its body. If he pulled it directly, he would definitely damage the stomach wall.

"What should we do?" Zhou Wen's original plan was to directly pluck these bone flukes off their stomach walls, gather them together, and smash them to death with a stone block, leaving only three to study a way to kill the internal body without destroying the bone shell.

After all, the introduction mentioned that the bony armor of the bone fluke could be used to make armor, and Zhou Wen had just chopped it with an iron broadsword, so it was much harder than the shell of the spiky krill.

But now, the chelicerae of the bone flukes are hooked onto the stomach wall, and he needs to slowly remove these chelicerae from the stomach wall. But he doesn't have time for that. There are still more than a dozen bone flukes sucking the blood of the phallus Leviathan, and he needs to kill them as soon as possible.

Zhou Wen glanced at the hole on the bone armor used to extend the main body, and suddenly thought that he could stab the weapon into the hole and kill the main body inside.

He picked up the iron broadsword and held it up to the hole in the bone armor. The hole was only two or three centimeters in diameter, and the iron broadsword couldn't penetrate it at all. However, Zhou Wen was not disappointed because he still had a blueprint for an iron dagger.

Quickly climb onto the stone platform, take out an iron ingot and a piece of wood from the storage cabinet, open the blueprint interface, flip to the iron dagger blueprint, and craft it directly.

The two materials transformed into blue light and combined in mid-air to form a 30-centimeter-long dagger with a blade two fingers wide and 20 centimeters long, sharpened on both sides, and with a sharp and pointed tip.

Zhou Wen gripped the iron dagger, swung it around a couple of times, and felt that it was very light, allowing him to easily perform various attack maneuvers.

Approaching another bone fluke, the two-finger-wide dagger could easily penetrate the hole in the bone shell and pierce into the fluke's flesh.

Zhou Wen gripped the iron dagger, feeling the blade pierce into the flesh. He then violently stirred it inside. The bone-armored fluke was already fragile, and under the stirring of the iron dagger, its body was quickly crushed and it died.

Seeing the remarkable results, Zhou Wen began to repeat the process, killing all of the dozen or so bone flukes.

After killing the main body of these bone flukes, Zhou Wen turned around and slowly removed the chelicerae that were hooked onto the stomach wall from the stomach wall. In the end, he obtained 12 complete bone flukes.

After that, they did not encounter any more bone flukes, and Zhou Wen began to move seaweed as before.

During this time, Jiang Haitao and Chen Xin both came to ask if they needed seaweed today. They had already finished moving the seaweed on their side, but Zhou Wen's feeding was a bit slower because he had been avoiding the giant creature.

Tell them they don't need it, and let them sell the seaweed or give it as a reward to guild members. However, from now on, any seaweed collected by the guild must be sold with his permission.

The experience of being chased by the giant creature made Zhou Wen realize that he would likely encounter this situation many times in the future. The Transformed Leviathan would miss places with food because it was trying to avoid the giant creature, so he would have to feed the Transformed Leviathan with seaweed collected by the two guilds.

In the deep blue sea, whether or not one can eat one's fill is a critical issue that is directly tied to life and death. Being well-fed gives one strength, and if one is chased by a giant creature, one will have enough stamina to evade it, thus increasing the chances of survival. Therefore, Zhou Wen must ensure that the Leviathan healed has food to eat, and that it is well-fed.

At this moment, Zhou Wen remembered the 20 portions of seaweed in the Deep Blue Treasure Chest and suddenly understood the deeper meaning behind giving away these 20 portions of seaweed.

After an hour, Zhou Wen had moved all the seaweed. He then asked Jiang Haitao for an anchor worm and used its blood to bleed the boiling coral polyps.

Then, they fed the gel planarians in the wooden barrel with seaweed. After so many days of growth, the 19 gel planarians had grown to adult size.

Zhou Wen picked out one and ground it into a hemostatic gel. Things were getting more and more dangerous, so he made some preparations in advance just in case. Then he cut the other gel planarians in half again, dividing them into 36 pieces to continue expanding the breeding population.

With everything done and the transformation into Leviathan complete, Zhou Wen prepared to rest. The previous harrowing experience had drained him of his energy, and he needed to recover properly.

Just then, Chen Xin sent a message.

[Mr. Zhou, did you have Jiang Haitao sell the small planting boxes to Zhao Teng?]

Did he try to trade you for low-grade fertilizer?

[Yes, sell it to him at a high price?]

【No need. Just sell it at the normal price. You don't have any conflict with him. It's best to build a good relationship with him and make him feel that you are the same kind of person as him.】

[Mr. Zhou, don't slander me. Zhao Teng and I are not the same kind of people. I still have my principles.]

"Um... okay then, you can just maintain a cooperative relationship with him."

Zhou Wen originally wanted Chen Xin to build a good relationship with Zhao Teng and then learn some hidden information about Zhao Teng, but he thought that this would affect Chen Xin's reputation among the survivors and was not in line with her character, so he gave up on that idea.

If Zhao Teng continues to seek cooperation with Jiang Haitao in the future, it would be better to have Jiang Haitao and Zhao Teng maintain a good relationship, which would also be more in line with Jiang Haitao's public image.

Zhao Teng has now grown his guild to over 2000 members using the Ponzi scheme. As the guild expands, many survivors who initially looked down on the "Soaring" guild will start joining.

After all, it really is a free spiked helmet giveaway. As long as you join, you have a chance. It's just a matter of waiting and submitting a thousand portions of seaweed every day, which is nothing for survivors.

As the number of members in the "Soaring" guild increases, it will attract more survivors to join, eventually leading to a terrifying situation for Zhao Teng.

"Why don't we have Jiang Haitao follow this method and recruit a large number of people?"

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Wen dismissed the idea. Too many guild members would be difficult to manage, and the members would be a mixed bag, making it hard for him to trust them. It would be better to slowly cultivate a group of trustworthy people.
