Jellyfish
Chapter 67
Shui Mu floated onto the back of the blue whale and hitched a ride as they continued to sink.
After sinking for an unknown amount of time, the color of the seawater gradually changed. It became a magnificent sapphire blue, so beautiful that it was breathtaking. No one dared to look directly at it.
Shui Mu removed the light gray film covering the soft shell of the Jellyfish. After an unknown amount of time, Hua Ji woke up. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was this vast expanse of blue.
He subconsciously held his breath and looked at everything in front of him with a feeling of reverence.
It was unbelievably blue, but it was also tinged with a faint black. It made people realize that this was a black hole, but they also wanted to stay here. This contradiction stimulated their senses, and he couldn't even move his eyes away.
Shui Mu's voice slowly sounded. "If we go further down, we will reach the cemetery."
As if he had suddenly woken up, Hua Ji came back to his senses. He closed his eyes and stabilized his mind. Then, a faint demonic power appeared in his pupils, blocking out this blue demonic sea that made his mind tremble. He focused on staring below.
Hua Ji only then realized … Wait, the thing below was moving!!
This wasn't the f * cking bottom of the sea, right?
It was …
[Hello.]
Hua Ji was stunned. He just realized that Shui Mu was lying on the back of a whale whose head and tail could not be seen.
Hua Ji pursed his lips and asked Shui Mu, "How should I call him?
Can he understand human language? "
"He is an ancient blue whale. You can call him primary. Literally, it is Primali, or Primali for short."
Hua Ji's mouth twitched. "That's a very special name."
He said to the huge ancient blue whale below him. [Hello, I am a fox, Hua Ji.]
The blue whale emitted infrasonic waves that could not be heard by human ears, and the surrounding seawater rippled. [What is a fox?]
Hua Ji racked his brains. [A kind of … uh, mammal?]
Blue whale: [That kind of animal that can't live in the sea?]
Hua Ji: [… Should be.]
Blue Whale: [How pitiful. You can't even survive in the sea. Why are you with Jellyfish?]
Hua Ji: [Well, something happened and then we got together.]
Blue whale: [Then how do we reproduce?]
Hua Ji burst into tears when he heard this. This was the fundamental difference between humans and animals. Humans pursued spiritual satisfaction, which was love, while animals prioritized reproduction.
He scratched Shui Mu's head with all his might and said with a solemn expression, "We already have a child!"
The blue whale's voice instantly became excited. [Congratulations!
I hope you will continue to work hard!]
Hua Ji: [Haha.]
Shui Mu, who had been playing dead, suddenly said, "We've arrived at the cemetery."
Hua Ji gasped as he looked at the scene in front of him.
He felt that he was not in a graveyard, but the lair of Mount Mang Ghost King. There were white bones everywhere, tall and thick.
But there were no ghosts.
These skeletons were very big, just like the old monsters on the mountain. After they died, their bodies became huge tombs, and each bone was thicker than a small monster.
When the ancient blue whale swam into the cemetery, its huge body instantly became inconspicuous, because the skeletons around it were much longer than it was.
He led Hua Ji and Shui Mu through the forest of white bones. Hua Ji asked Shui Mu softly, "Are these the corpses of ancient sea beasts?"
Shui Mu said, "Yes, there were many ancient sea beasts living in ancient times. Humans called them sea monsters. They had a long life, but it was difficult for them to reproduce. Also, Blue Star is constantly changing, and the environment in the sea has changed. Some sea monsters adapted and lived, while some didn't, so they came to the cemetery and chose to hibernate."
His tone was calm and distant. "We were born in this sea and grew up on this planet. In the end, our corpses fell into the sea and became a part of the sea. This is our life."
Hua Ji looked at all of this quietly and said softly, "Are you like this too?"
Shui Mu nodded. "Yes, me too." He paused and said, "But I met you."
Hua Ji smiled subconsciously. "Yes, you met me, and I met you."
Both of them were silent at the same time, but there was a faint tacit understanding and gentleness. At this moment, a silver light suddenly flashed in the distance.
The next second, the silver light appeared in front of them.
Hua Ji's eyes widened. This is …
That silver light was not real light, but a merman. This merman had long silver hair, and his eyes were blue. At first glance, they were very light, but upon closer inspection, they were as deep as the sea. His ears were elongated backward like a small fan. His body … Yes, it was white and strong, and the lines of his muscles were very beautiful. It was enough to make people drool. Below his body was a fishtail that was about three meters long, and the silver-gray scales were shining. He held a long bone in his hand and rushed over aggressively. When he saw the blue whale and the Jellyfish on the back of the blue whale, his hostility faded a little.
Hua Ji murmured, "Merman?"
"No, this is a sea monster."
Shui Mu said, "A narrow-minded, jealous, vengeful, big appetite, curious, bloodthirsty, domineering, aggressive, cold, inhuman … (countless negative adjectives) sea monster."
Hua Ji, "…"
Shui Mu said weakly, "The only thing that can be seen is his face. Everything else is worthless!"
Hua Ji sighed. He simply lay on the soft shell and covered his eyes with his claws. "Okay, okay, I won't look."
Only then did Shui Mu become happy.
The sea monster quietly stared at the blue whale and the Jellyfish. When he saw Hua Ji, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he did not say anything. When the blue whale was far away, he swung his fishtail and disappeared.
Hua Ji asked curiously, "What is he doing?"
Shui Mu said, "We need to pass through the sea monster graveyard to reach our destination."
"Destination?"
"Yes, where I live," Shui Mu said, "The blue whale and I are neighbors. My house is next to the sea monster graveyard and the blue whale graveyard."
Not long after, Shui Mu said, "Look, it's over there."
Hua Ji looked in the direction Shui Mo had pointed, and he saw that the Bone Forest had suddenly disappeared. In its place was a rocky area of high and low rock. It seemed to have been formed by magma, and it looked like a hill.
The blue whale slowed down. He said, "We're here."
The blue whale swung his tail and left.
Shui Mu took Hua Ji and said, "Thank you."
Before Hua Ji could understand, Shui Mu suddenly opened his body. The soft shell suddenly extended infinitely, as if his curled body was finally stretched. In an instant, the entire uneven hill was covered. Hua Ji stretched and walked briskly on the Jellyfish's shell. He looked around. "You've been living here?"
Shui Mu created a clone and appeared beside Hua Ji. He said, "Follow me, I've hidden the thing on the other side."
He picked up Hua Ji's fox and floated to the other side of the rocky area.
Hua Ji looked at the cooling magma under his feet. He felt that this area looked the same. At this moment, Shui Mu stopped at a flat and round area.
"It's here."
Shui Mu reached out and gently pushed the huge flat and round magma rock away, revealing a hexagonal crystal with a faint yellow glow.
Hua Ji opened his mouth. "Is this the alien technology?"
Shui Mu said, "This is the power system of their aircraft."
Of course, there were some other bits and pieces. Shui Mu used his huge body and countless tentacles to quietly collect the small bits and pieces. He took out the more obvious hexagonal crystal and handed it to Hua Ji. "You can keep it."
Hua Ji looked at the hexagonal crystal in front of him in awe. He shook his head. "No, you can keep it."
If he kept it, he might lose it if he wasn't careful. It was safer for Shui Mu to keep it.
Shui Mu shrugged and kept the crystal. He turned around and pulled Hua Ji forward. "Let's go. I remember that before we left, there was a rare black pearl in the clam's mouth. At that time, I thought that the pearl was not pure, so I didn't take it. This time, you can have a look. If you like it, you can take it away!"
Hua Ji was speechless. He thought of the money bag that Shui Mu mentioned before and suddenly felt pity for the clam.
After turning around a large magma area, Hua Ji was stunned.
There was a huge … really huge white shell in front of them. They couldn't even see where the crack was. Hua Ji said in a daze, "This is your neighbor?"
Shui Mu said, "Yes, he has a good temper. Most of the time, he sleeps."
He raised his hand and punched the hard shell. A hole appeared in the hard shell, and Shui Mo sucked in the white hard shell like a slime. Then, he saw many white pearls rolling out of his small mouth like a fountain. After he spat them out, Shui Mo sucked them out again. When he came out, he didn't forget to grab a handful of sand and stuff it into his mouth, gluing the few pieces together.
"Look, he didn't wake up. He's very quiet."
He clapped his hands. "Well, come back in a few years. There will be a pile of pearls again = v ="
Hua Ji was speechless.
