Chapter 406: The Madness of the Sea Soul Beast! (Part )
"But after the birth of Poseidon, everything changed."
Ariel then describes a story about a sea god punishing whales.
During the conquest of the sea by a human named Poseidon, he encountered a few species of sea-soul beasts who would rather fight together than submit to him even if they were defeated by him.
Whales are one of them.
Therefore, after Poseidon became a god, he favored all marine creatures and sea beasts except whales.
During the long period of 20,000 years, the sea soul beasts that submitted to the Sea God and contributed their faith to the Sea God united together.
Soul beasts, soul beasts with intelligence similar to that of humans, have much purer temperaments than humans, so their beliefs are also purer—
In the walnut-sized brains of the other sea soul beasts, those sea soul beasts who are unwilling to submit to the Sea God are heretics and must be executed!
After the Sea God became a god, he did not deal with whales personally anymore, but the other sea soul beasts over ten thousand years old spontaneously united together, and even abandoned their mutual hatred in the food chain, turning all conflicts to the whale soul beasts, launching a war of genocide against the entire whale race!
To date, all ordinary whales have died, and all the sea soul beast-level whales and other weak species have become extinct.
The evil killer whales relied on their better reproductive ability than ordinary whales, their individual strength, and their large population spread across the entire ocean, with dozens of individuals over 100,000 years old, and they managed to hold on tenaciously.
But today, the number of evil killer whales in the entire ocean is only one tenth of what it was 20,000 years ago.
But because they don't submit to the Sea God, they are enemies of the whole world in the ocean... Therefore, in the past 20,000 years, the evil killer whale clan has not cared how other sea soul beasts view them, and all believers of the Sea God will be bitten to death!
Even if it is not for food or to accumulate cultivation, they must bite the remaining sea soul beasts to death to prove that their killer whale clan will never be enslaved!
In addition to the surviving evil killer whale clan, there is another kind of whale that has tenaciously survived to this day, and it also makes the other sea soul beasts tremble in fear.
Deep sea demon whale.
However, this species of whale is almost extinct, with only three left...
True or false?
The story described by Ariel was slightly different from the plot of Dou Yi, but Zhou Qing didn't really care whether it was true or not. He just realized one thing, that is, if he wanted to be an enemy of God in the future, then the evil killer whale and the deep-sea devil whale king might be his potential friends.
“...the evil killer whales, only those that are a thousand years old or less, can play so happily in this rocky sea area. When they grow to ten thousand years old and enter the deep sea and merge with other adult tribes, they will become enemies of the world.” Ariel sighed.
"Captain, your stories are getting more and more outrageous."
"that is!"
"Although we don't believe in any sea god, it's not good to make up a character like this, right?"
"Haha! As long as the story is interesting, that's all!"
The rest of the crew and sailors expressed their opinions and laughed.
As for Zhou Qing's Ocean Star, they did want it, but they were not soul masters and were doing legitimate business, so they could not steal other people's gains.
"Hey! You guys! How dare you tease the captain?" Ariel put her hands on her hips and snorted, "This is my only hobby!"
"Yes, yes, the captain loves to scare people with stories!"
The way the crew members get along with Ariel is not like that of a superior and a subordinate, but rather like a close relationship, the kind of friendship where they can talk about anything.
"What are you trying to scare me about? It's clearly the truth!"
Ariel laughed angrily and lectured the crew, "Stop gossiping and get to work. You're just making a fool of yourself for the guests!"
"Sorry, I made you embarrassed." Ariel apologized to Zhou Qing and others again.
"It doesn't matter. After all, it's us who are causing you trouble."
Zhou Qing was completely relieved about this crew, but he still had doubts about Ariel. But as long as she didn't cause trouble for him and others, everything would be fine...
Night falls.
Under Ariel's arrangement, everyone had their meal and then went to the deck together to wait.
"It happens to be a full moon tonight!"
Ariel looked up at the full moon surrounded by stars, stretched her body, and pointed at the rows of reefs. "Every night, the octopus will crawl out from the bottom of the sea to receive the moonlight...except on rainy days."
Xiao Wu asked another question: "Won't the sea soul beasts attack the ships on their own initiative?"
"Will do."
The person who answered was a crew member who was peeling an orange. "I have worked on other ships before. I can only say that even if you know the route, going out to sea is still a matter of luck because you never know when a sea soul beast will suddenly attack the ship."
"However, our Mermaid is very lucky and has never encountered any accidents." Another crew member continued.
"More importantly, our captain is beautiful and generous!"
A sailor praised.
"Stop flattering me!" Ariel scolded them for talking too much and asked them to prepare the fishing nets and throw them into the sea later.
"What are you preparing the fishing net for? Fishing?" Romantina asked.
"We go out to sea just to send you here to hunt soul beasts, but you won't make much money. We have to catch some sea urchins and shells." Ariel explained that there are many sea urchins and shells on the seabed in this area. Because they grow in the reef waters where sea soul beasts exist, they are larger in size and taste more delicious. Naturally, the price is much more expensive than what other fishermen catch in safe waters.
Generally speaking, ordinary fishermen would not come to such places to fish.
But who can blame the Mermaid's captain and crew for being so skilled and courageous?
Not to mention——
Ariel was extremely lucky. Every time she went out to sea, everything went smoothly. Not only was the weather good, but there had never been an incident of sea soul beasts attacking the ship.
"When the Rubik's Cube Octopus is out of water, it can only exert 30% of its power. If we can catch some and sell them, we can stay out to sea for a year." Some sailors also wanted to take the opportunity to catch some Rubik's Cube Octopus, dreaming of getting a bigger harvest.
"Just catch seven or eight. If there are more, it will be difficult for us to deal with them." Ariel did not object, but set a limit on the number of Rubik's Cube Octopuses to be caught.
[Difficult to deal with? You are a soul master at least at the Soul King level, but you can't even deal with a few hundred-year-old magic cube octopuses? ]
Zhou Qing knew that Ariel was hiding her strength, so he only complained in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, two hours passed.
The night is deep.
When Xiao Wu yawned, Tang San noticed that next to the reef not far away, there was a cubic object emitting a faint blue light. It climbed along the edge of the reef and reached the top.
Under the moonlight, everyone could clearly see the eight tentacles under the cube and the beak that looked like an eagle's beak.
It’s the Rubik’s Cube Octopus!
