In the midst of the night.
Chen Qi held an extinguished lantern as he continually moved forward in this sea area.
He was now in the depths of the Deep Sea Titan's territory.
The sea waves gently swept over his trouser legs, a trace of coldness transmitting from his feet.
It shouldn't be a Water Elf secretly sucking on his toes…
Chen Qi looked down towards the seabed.
Below the vast seabed, he could vaguely make out a multitude of writhing tentacles from the depths.
Each tentacle was as thick as a truck, and the countless tentacles on the seabed could easily whip up a storm that covered the sky and land with a gentle dance.
Deep Sea Titan—Tentacle Tree!
"Truly spectacular…" Chen Qi remarked.
This was the largest deep-sea creature he had seen so far!
Unfortunately, the only valuable part of this Titan's tentacles was the skin.
As for its internal core items, they were not something he could harvest.
At this moment, Chen Qi suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
It shouldn't attack me, right?
Strictly speaking, the Deep Sea Titan beneath his feet should be considered a plant, not an animal.
Overall, its living characteristics were similar to plants like the pitcher plant, with a certain probability of attacking spiritual beings that entered its territory.
Was his Deep Sea Affinity really useful against such plant-like deep-sea creatures?
Could it really be effective?
The waves grew larger.
Chen Qi gripped the lantern tightly, unable to help but widen his eyes in astonishment.
Boom! Boom!
Below the ocean, the tentacles danced wildly, stirring up huge waves!
This Titan had evidently noticed an unknown creature entering its territory!
Below, the massive tentacles of the deep sea twisted and overlapped, then entwined, forming a strange pattern!
Under the moonlight, Chen Qi could vaguely discern the special pattern formed by the overlapping tentacles, an emblem that had appeared many times in civilization, a symbol shrouded in mystery!
An heart.
A heart shaped by tentacles? What the hell was this?
"???"
Chen Qi, with a face full of question marks, looked toward the blurry shadows under the sea, doubting his own eyes.
Through the pitch-black sea, he couldn't see the true face of this Titan.
But at the moment, it appeared that Deep Sea Affinity was effective.
This must be the Tentacle Tree's way of expressing goodwill.
Chen Qi could feel a strong intuition that this Tentacle Tree would not attack him!
"Safe…"
Chen Qi's lips curved up slightly.
Since the master of this area had no objections, he would just do as he pleased!
It was time to see if there were any cute little Sea Beasts in this sea area.
Chen Qi's steps became bolder as he started searching the sea area for Sea Beasts.
Hammerhead shark! Go!
Clownfish! Go!
Thunder jellyfish, I'll take you as well since you can serve as a generator for large ships in the future!
Large sea snake, don't entwine my legs, go!
Deep Sea Water Elf No.2, get off the little green algae!
Chen Qi wandered unrestrainedly in the territory of the Deep Sea Titan, hoping to find valuable Sea Beasts.
Unfortunately, like Sea Demon Gorge, they were mostly dangerous Sea Beasts with little commercial value.
Just then, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance.
Chen Qi immediately turned his head
He saw several fluffy creatures, resembling sheep, floating on the surface of the sea.
They drifted leisurely on the sea, like cotton candy clouds, one after another.
"What is this…"
Without hesitation, Chen Qi decisively flipped open the "Sea Beast Medicinal Materials Collection Guide".
Sea Soap! Also known as Hai Yunduo!
This cloud creature, similar to the Deep Sea Water Elf, is a special type of Sea Beast capable of free navigation in the sea.
If you peel off the 'wool'-like cloud covering, inside you'll find a small Sea Beast similar to a Deep Sea Water Elf.
But in terms of commercial value, it far surpasses the Water Elf!
The 'clouds' of Hai Yunduo are famously used as perfume, beauty, and shower gel materials in Shell Country!
Once heated, the clouds will turn into a slime-like, comfortable liquid.
This liquid can be absorbed by the skin, whitening and adding elasticity to it, repairing wounds! It makes people more charming!
In advertisements, the Sea Goddess used Hai Yunduo shower gel when bathing in the sea!
It is a luxury product favored by many beauty enthusiasts.
It even surpasses the famous beauty products of the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom, such as the Slime Liquid, in both value and effect!
Treasure, indeed… Chen Qi rubbed his hands together eagerly.
However, Hai Yunduo are irritable and reclusive. They don't like attacking humans or contacting other Sea Beasts.
But they are still incredibly dangerous,
Their speed in the sea can even surpass the speed of sound, destroying any ship they encounter like a missile.
There were people who once tried to make steel cages to breed Hai Yunduo.
But Hai Yunduo will never be enslaved!
If you try to forcibly restrain them, they will explode on you! A literal explosion!
Therefore, above the sea, the usual way to harvest 'clouds' from Hai Yunduo is to catch them, shave off the cloud wool, and then release them.
Of course, like Water Elves, Hai Yunduo can also be kept as pets.
There are also Transcendent Beast Tamers who make contracts with Hai Yunduo and take them as their own pets.
However, this is extremely rare because, unlike Water Elves, Hai Yunduo become extremely weak outside the ocean and may not even survive.
Not to mention, Hai Yunduo have very volatile temperaments, and even if they are forcefully contracted, they will not obey their masters.
Chen Qi's eyes lit up, and he excitedly walked towards Hai Yunduo.
After countless hardships, he had finally caught a high-value Sea Beast.
He counted them, and there were a full ten Hai Yunduo!
The value of one Hai Yunduo's wool was five hundred thousand, and for ten, that was a whole five million!
And unlike Ghost Fire Fish, Hai Yunduo's cloud wool shower gel was very popular, being a typical scarce luxury item.
Besides, the growth cycle of the clouds was also faster than that of Ghost Fire Fish!
"Hehe, Hai Yunduo, hehe, Hai Yunduo..."
Chen Qi's face turned slightly red with excitement as he crouched down, preparing to scrape off a bit of sea wool to apply to his skin.
This stuff could truly make the skin whiter and more elastic!
And he happened to be in need of sunscreen!
Slap!
But then, Hai Yunduo suddenly leaped up, pushing his hand away.
It was as if they were saying:
"Get your stinking hands off! You freak!"
"Go away, go away, you freak!"
"You freak, stay away! Do you think you can touch us?"
"???"
Chen Qi was startled, having Deep Sea Affinity, it was his first time facing such a situation.
This had nothing to do with his Deep Sea Affinity. If it had been the Flower Witch, she would have been knocked to the sky by the angry Hai Yunduo.
Sea Beasts have their own personalities, and Hai Yunduo are typically very irritable, probably smacking even the local sea tyrants!
Their temperament was even worse than that of Ghost Fire Fish!
"What a trouble..."
Chen Qi fell into worry, questioning whether even he would be unable to farm Hai Yunduo.
If he were to roughly harvest the cloud wool from Hai Yunduo, they may explode on him as well!
Looking at Hai Yunduo, Chen Qi felt a thwarting sense of losing money.
Seeing that Chen Qi didn't resist, Hai Yunduo even playfully bumped their fluffy cloud bodies against his abdomen.
Bang!
While it wasn't harmful, it was highly insulting!
And just then, Xiao Lvzao, holding the Water Elf No. 2, popped its head out.
It could not stand it any longer, it was outrageous for a Sea Beast to be so impolite!!
Looking at the obnoxious Hai Yunduo, it cleared its throat:
"Lalala~"
The light and airy song echoed over the sea.
The song was light, but it carried a collection of insulting feelings!
It was a song of reprimand, simply put, a type of cursing song that could induce guilt!
Chen Qi wanted to stop Xiao Lvzao.
Xiao Lvzao was reprimanding the rude Hai Yunduo on his behalf.
But Hai Yunduo were not like Ghost Fire Fish; they had a big temper!
With Hai Yunduo's irritability, they might be knocked flying into the sky by their attack!
Fighting between Sea Beasts was still a possibility!
However, against Chen Qi's expectations.
The scolded Hai Yunduo, though still irritable and talking back, started to approach.
Then, as they got close to Xiao Lvzao, their attitude instantly changed, and they gathered around it.
And Xiao Lvzao wasn't indulging them, using the Water Elf No. 2 to push them away.
The Hai Yunduo made sounds of comfort:
"Wobi wobi! (Sounds good, sounds good!)"
"Wobi wobi! (Siren sister! Play it again!)"
"!!!"
Following that, Xiao Lvzao also showed off a triumphant expression, its tentacle hair swaying non-stop.
Chen Qi was stunned, touching Xiao Lvzao's tentacle hair.
What's happening?
How could a song cause such a huge change in these Hai Yunduo's attitude?
Were they looking for a scolding?
Was it the song that made the difference?
This blatant differential treatment!
Could it be possible for me to attract Hai Yunduo with a song too?... Chen Qi had a bold thought.
Regardless, at least the Hai Yunduo were willing to follow him. It shouldn't be too hard to lure them to the ship.
He finally got a Sea Beast suitable for farming!
Chen Qi clapped his hands excitedly, and before he knew it, he was in the very center of this sea area.
He remembered that Palu had mentioned that in this central area grew the legendary medicinal herbs!
Chen Qi continued forward and soon, he saw a huge Transcendent plant, radiating a wondrous Transcendent aura.
