(Seeking Monthly Pass~)_2 817: Chapter 41 Shasha Can Fly!

(Seeking Monthly Pass~)_2 As for why these two creatures come to mind…

because Shasha has recently eaten these two types.

In fact, Shasha has been eating almost everything lately—from small fish and insects to seaweed, from krill to sea cucumbers, Shasha has swept the entire Southern Sea and basically eaten everything it should.

Besides, it also found a high-quality mineral vein on the seabed nearby, ramming into the vein daily, consuming ores, having a jolly good time.

Actually, Shasha ramming ships isn’t due to a stubborn nature or it becoming a hobby, it is the instinct of the Ironclad Shark-Steel Armor Shark lineage; they need to ram the seabed to mine veins for growth and evolution, but the seabed is too hard and occasionally it feels quite dizzy from the impact, thus the texture of ships, which is neither too soft nor too hard, is almost like a scratching board to a cat for Shasha.

Seeing one makes it want to ram; it’s an uncontrollable natural instinct.

Currently, it’s deep into the night in the Southern Sea, just the time for Shasha to hunt; it hasn’t realized that Ian is observing its life through special privileges but continues to swim rapidly in the dimly lit seawater.

However, having taken the Aurora Titan Potion, Shasha’s perceptual powers are extremely sharp; it uses magnetic fields and occasional light flashes from the surface crystals to gauge its surroundings, looking for its midnight snack or a substantial dinner.

One must say, the Southern Sea is indeed rich.

Due to the appearance of the South Sea Great Labyrinth, a large amount of Origin Quality overflowed, and the area around Harrison Port almost immediately flourished after the initial turmoil—Ian, using Shasha’s senses, could instantly see dozens of different fish, various jellyfish, Ephemeridae seaweed, shrimp species, and mollusks and echinoderms crawling on the near seabed.

And Shasha’s chosen dinner this time, was a common fire-pattern ribbon fish from the Southern Sea.

This type of fire-pattern ribbon fish, colloquially known as ‘fire fish’ among coastal fishermen, has a long cylindrical shape, with dark red slits on its belly and back, spurting a large amount of fine bubbling water flows as it swims.

It does indeed contain some Thunder Sect Origin Quality; through a special electric reaction, the fire-pattern ribbon fish generates large amounts of high-temperature steam within its body, using this steam for movement and attack.

Since it’s highly adapted to high temperatures, it’s very hard to cook.

Fishermen prefer to wrap it in clean mud and throw it into a fire pit, then set up a pot over the fire pit to stew a pot of seafood soup—by the time the seafood soup is cooked and eaten, the fire fish is also ready.

After peeling off the mud shell, along with the fish scales and skin, only pale yellow, lustrous fish meat remains, offering a delicate and tender texture, and a spicy taste that doesn’t even need chili, a unique delicacy among fishermen.

But Shasha doesn’t need such trouble—it can directly generate high-heat electric currents in its mouth to electrically cook these fire fish.

Yes, Shasha eats cooked food.

Of course, only occasionally, but it has indeed developed a taste for cooked meat after Ian fed it several times.

Now, a group of fire-pattern ribbon fish were lingering around some fluorescent algae, their not-so-sensitive sensory organs couldn’t detect a voracious giant shark furiously speeding towards them, and their usual magnetic field induction is meaningless against a higher Power Level Thunder Sect creature.

By the time they sensed an abnormal magnetic field, Shasha had already opened its mouth.

A stunningly bright blue electric current flashed through the sea—a lightning strike was almost released, boiling the water in the nearby sea areas.

These fire-pattern ribbon fish didn’t even have the chance to react before they lost their lives.

And then, they were swallowed by a shark’s mouth!

Shasha ate more than a dozen fire-pattern ribbon fish in one go, leaving only a few female fish, and then contentedly twisted its heavy body towards other sea areas.

For Shasha’s taste buds, these foods containing water and Thunder Sect Origin Quality indeed gave it a great sense of satisfaction, offering a unique experience distinctly different from humans, making even Ian involuntarily nod in approval.

After dinner, Shasha prepared to return to the South Sea Great Labyrinth; its speed was fast, or rather, it hadn’t strayed far from the Great Labyrinth.

The Origin Quality and unique ecology within the Labyrinth began to gradually transform the surrounding marine areas, particularly around Odell Reef, which already possessed a Water System Spirit Energy Field, nurturing many diverse biological groups and Magical Beasts.

This also provided Labyrinth Master Shasha with an extremely ample nutrient meal.

Taking some time, Shasha utilized its privileges to dive into the deep sea, entering the Great Labyrinth directly through a deep entrance, then swiftly via a shortcut to Crystal Lake.

Here, pure non-attribute Origin Quality was diffusing.

With a much stronger spirit now, Ian sensitively noticed that the concentration of Origin Quality here was almost as dense as at the bottom of Dazzling Lake.

In other words, the water from this place, if taken out, would probably act as natural fertilizer, though it might choke some Ordinary organisms and plants, but if it’s Sublimation Plants, it would definitely be excellent cultivation liquid raw material.

It seems that farming could indeed be done within the Great Labyrinth…

With this thought in mind, Ian saw Shasha approaching the Crystal Island in the center of Crystal Lake.

Then…

It flew up!

— Electromagnetic levitation?!

Ian was shocked; although the Aurora Titan’s First Energy Level ‘Lightning Pursuer’ indeed had the capability for short-term levitation, Shasha…

Right, Shasha is a Magical Beast.

Magical Beasts are not necessarily dumber than humans, why couldn’t they learn human techniques?

Electromagnetic levitation is not some sort of swordsmanship skill, it should naturally be accessible to all living creatures.

In any case, after a moment of shock due to Shasha’s electromagnetic levitation ability, Ian, through the perspective of Shasha, watched the Dragon Egg at the center of Crystal Island drawing closer.

It seems that Shasha was very obedient, following his instructions, taking care of the Dragon Egg every day…

Excellent!

Seeing this, Ian immediately felt that Shasha bumping into a few ships was completely trivial, such a well-behaved Shark, what’s a few bumped ships?

Isn’t it rather to say that it was also to fulfill the task he had set?

Good Shark!

Harboring such thoughts, Ian glanced unintentionally, and suddenly noticed that the Aether Crystal Dragon’s Dragon Egg was not steadied properly in the middle of Crystal Island.

Initially, Ian thought that Shasha had accidentally moved the egg during observation, which was normal, but soon he found that it wasn’t Shasha’s fault.

The egg was shaking on its own!

Even, the shell of the Dragon Egg seemed a bit mottled, as if cracks were appearing!

“Wait?!”

After realizing this, Ian’s emotions became very complex — excitement and agitation, careful observation, and a kind of indescribable tension arose: “Is it…

going to hatch?!”

Having been incubated by the Aether Crystal Dragon for so long, and then nourished for such a long time on Crystal Island, was the Dragon Egg finally about to hatch?!

“No, not so soon.”

Ian calmed himself down, suppressing the urge to immediately set off, ignoring the troubles with the Mountain People, and return directly to Harrison Port to check on Shasha and the Dragon Egg, he thought calmly.

Although Ian couldn’t use Foresight View through Shasha’s vision, the Silver Chip could still be activated — the current status of the Dragon Egg was only close to hatching, and not actually hatching, still needing about one to three months.

Just right, once he had dealt with the Mountain People’s issues and developed his territory well, then he could check on the Dragon Egg.

Anyway, he needed to prepare his own resources first, ensuring that he could nurture both the Shark and the Dragon well.

At least, better than his own self on Path of the Dao with Worm Nest, right?

— However, indeed, it was time to find an opportunity to return to Harrison Port.

He didn’t expect to have so much to deal with after returning to South Ridge.

“Shasha?” After sorting out these thoughts, Ian spoke softly, communicating with the distant Shasha.

And hanging in mid-air, observing the Dragon Egg, while also training its flying ability, the Sky Armor Shark, upon hearing this familiar voice, was overjoyed: “Oh!

(Boss!)”
