blue whales under the stars

Even if Mu Ye didn't know much about sea creatures, he knew that the fresher the species, the better the price.He dragged the lobsters to the ground so willfully before, and it is likely to have affected this transaction.Mu Ye looked at Bai Cang in a panic, like a child who got into trouble, and was ready to be blamed.

It's just that Mr. Lanjing's expression didn't change because of what the boss said.He raised his hand and pressed the young man's slender shoulders, using this kind of gentle touch to signal the other party to calm down, and whispered to Mu Ye: "Come behind me."

Mu Ye was at a loss, and immediately ran behind the man with small steps after hearing what the man said.Seeing that he was standing in a safe place, Bai Cang stretched out his hand to take the long string from the boss's hand.He picked out from the bamboo basket for a while, reached out and picked up a lobster.The dark blue prawn still didn't respond when it was pinched and lifted up, even the pairs of long claws under the chest didn't move. If you don't look closely, it's even hard to tell whether it's alive or dead, and it looks completely dizzy. sharp.

The lobster that Bai Cang chose was basically the most lethargic one in the basket, and it was much worse than the ones he had sent before. According to the price, at least [-]% more.But his actions did not appear urgent, and he did not open his mouth to argue.He just used his free left hand to draw an imaginary circle in the space between them, and then turned the two-palm-length lobster over, exposing the prawn's layers of hard shells and the chest and abdomen protected by curled claws.

When he was doing these actions, the two guys were all in a daze, and only the boss Linda saw a clue.She frowned slightly, as if remembering something, but she didn't interrupt.

Although the lobster in Bai Cang's hand seemed to have lost all consciousness, when the terrifying claws and long sharp claws were revealed, it still made people feel frightened.However, Bai Cang did not hesitate in his movements. He pressed his left fingertips under the chest covered by several pairs of long legs, and moved his fingers down lightly, all the way to the part of the lobster's abdomen near the tail.Mu Ye was standing a bit out of the way, so he couldn't see Bai Cang's specific movements clearly.He only saw a faint blue light appearing from the fingertips of Mr. Blue Whale, and then he heard the exclamation of the two guys, and even the boss showed a serious expression.

Because standing obliquely behind Bai Cang, Mu Ye's line of sight was blocked by the man's body a lot, he could barely see a hard-shelled shrimp tail that was as long as a human's forearm suddenly appeared between them, without having to look at the whole body, The tail of the shrimp alone looks quite aggressive.The tail of the shrimp bends out a sharp arc, and at first glance, it looks like a dangerous hook.

This giant that suddenly appeared was not as honest as the dazed lobster. It swung its tail violently, as if it was about to attack the surrounding people.But before this action was completed, the thrown shrimp tail hit the restraint, and the sharp hook was blocked back by a round edge glowing with white light.

Only then did they realize why Bai Cang had to draw a circle with his bare hands.

Mu Ye was guarded behind him, so he couldn't see clearly.The other three people clearly saw the entire process of the crawfish's appearance.This crayfish, which seemed to be inactive when it was in camouflage, was full of ferocity when it changed back to its original form.Linda's eyesight is the worst. She clearly sensed that the crawfish's attack was not only swift and violent, but also contained elemental fluctuations.This is not only a ferocious primordial beast, but it is also very likely to break through the limit of the first order, and has already entered the threshold of the second order.

Although the town of Rennes is close to the sea, because of its remote location, not many high-level magicians and warriors will stop here.It cannot be compared with port cities tens of nautical miles away.In addition, the elements here are thin, there are few primal beasts, and there are not even magicians recognized by the guild in the town, so it is difficult for people to come into contact with sea beasts that contain elements.Even the seafood that Bai Cang sent before were mostly meaty and delicious edible sea animals. This is the first time that such sea animals with sufficient meat and elemental energy have been sent.If it weren't for Taylor's shop being well funded and spreading the shops all over the continent in order to collect information from all over the world, I'm afraid there wouldn't be any shop in the town that could recognize the appearance of the primordial beast.

Besides, this crayfish is not just a primordial beast, it has already broken through the first-order limit.This kind of Yuan beast, even if it is placed in a shop two levels higher than this one in the small town of Rennes, it is definitely a sought-after item.

Linda restrained her expression, and asked solemnly, "Can this basket of crayfish be transformed?"

Compared with ordinary sea beasts, Yuan beasts can control their body shape changes.In the original form, the size of the original beast becomes larger, and if it is sold to their shops for food value, the price will be much higher than that in the disguised state.Moreover, Yuan beasts are not only measured by their edible value. Yuan beasts above the first level are widely used in medicine and refining. In terms of price, they are not comparable to ordinary living things. .

Even though it had just forced a Tier [-] Yuan Beast to transform into a prototype, it still prevented a frontal attack from it.But Bai Cang didn't seem to have expended any energy.When he faced several people, his expression was still calm, and he responded, "Both baskets are there."

In that case, that basket of sea fish is also a primordial beast.The boss paused for a moment, but he didn't have any doubts about Bai Cang's words.She turned to the big guy and said, "Go to the secret room on the third floor and get the box on the mezzanine."

The big guy got the order, and the boss came back to look at the bamboo basket carefully, as if thinking of something, she asked, "Is there a restriction on these two baskets?"

If it wasn't for the restriction and suppression, these primordial beasts should have shown their original shape long ago, and they wouldn't all stay in the basket so obediently.Linda guessed that even the long rope used to bind the crayfish might not be an ordinary rope.

Sure enough, Bai Cang said: "There is a [-]-day ban on the bamboo basket, and there is no limit on the time for tying the rope." He said, using the loop tied at the end of the long yellow-green rope to trap the crawfish, which is as long as half a human, The rope was automatically tightened at the junction of the crayfish's chest and abdomen. In less than a few seconds, the crayfish with its teeth and claws stopped moving, and then continued to shrink, becoming the same size as the other lobsters on the rope.

The little guy was already dumbfounded, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while, and Linda's expression was also a little complicated.She has always known that this little brother has an unknown origin and extraordinary skills, but she did not expect that he is actually a mage - he can subdue elemental beasts so easily, and it is impossible for him to be just an ordinary person.

Magicians have a very high status in the entire continent, and there is a clear gap between their identities and that of ordinary people.As soon as this identity came out, the boss's attitude towards Bai Cang also changed significantly.Her tone was no longer as casual as before, but a little more reverent: "Mr. Mage, I wonder if these containers with restrictions can be left in our shop? The price of the containers will be calculated separately, and we will buy them as elemental containers."

Faced with such an obvious change of attitude, Bai Cang's expression still didn't change much. He shook his head lightly, and when the boss showed obvious disappointment, he said, "Just take two new bamboo baskets in exchange. .”

Linda's expression suddenly lit up. She was already a well-known beauty in the small town, and now with a look of joy, her appearance became more vivid.Exchanging new bamboo baskets for old bamboo baskets was not an appropriate deal, but the bamboo baskets with the ban are completely different from ordinary containers, and the price difference can be hundreds of times.Besides, if Bai Cang insisted on not selling them, their shop could find ten or eight elemental containers, but they definitely couldn't find enough containers to suppress so many elemental sea beasts.

The boss thanked him immediately, and told the boy to go to the carpenter's shop opposite to buy bamboo baskets.At this time, the big guy who ran to the third floor had already taken down the face-sized square box.Linda reached out to take the box, unlocked it with the round stamp with Taylor's symbol on her chest, and carefully took out an oval object with a probe on the top.

Mu Ye poked his head out from beside Bai Cang, his soft cheek was pressing against Mr. Lanjing's arm.Bai Cang turned his head to look at the man's golden hair, and turned sideways to make room for him so that he could see more clearly.

"This is an element detector." Bai Cang explained to others. Linda, who was busy touching the crayfish in the basket with a probe, looked up to this side, then lowered her head and went back to inspect it seriously.

"What does it do?" Mu Ye asked softly.

"Did you see that probe?" Bai Cang told him patiently, "It's made of something called primordial stone, which will change color when it comes into contact with creatures containing elements. According to the degree of discoloration, we can judge the origin of the probe. level of the beast."

Primordial stones have a wide range of uses, and the accuracy varies greatly. Some can only judge whether they contain elements, while others can display the types and levels of elements in detail.For example, the detector owned by Taylor's store is not very accurate, but judging from the oval storage material wrapped with primordial stone, it is no problem to test a rough level.These things are too trivial, so Bai Cang didn't say all of them.

Mu Ye blinked: "These shrimp...are they Yuan beasts?"

Bai Cang replied, "Yes."

In fact, one more question Mu Ye wants to ask is whether Mr. Lan Jing is also a Yuan beast.But now that there are outsiders next to him, he can only press the question back first.

If Mr. Blue Whale is also a primordial beast, Mu Ye thought silently, then he must be the most powerful one.
