Chapter 88
Giant fish ultimately did not agree to Sui Xiong's invitation.
This did not surprise Sui Xiong. Judging from its appearance, he was probably used to life in the underground cave. If he went out, he might not be able to adapt.
Moreover, Sui Xiong discovered that the water in the underground lake was fresh water. If you go to the outside world, this guy would either find a big lake to live in or try to see if he could adapt to salt water. As far as Sui Xiong knew, most fresh water fish could not adapt to salt water. No matter how strong the body was, it would be unacceptable.
Besides, even if you can adapt, is it really good to go out?
On the way out, Sui Xiong was thinking about this question.
Although the space is not large enough in the underground lake, it is at least enough to accommodate. Although it is hard to forage, it is actually not a thrilling situation. For the giant fish with a little simple thinking, such a life is quite stable and there is no need to change it.
On the contrary, after going out, I don’t know what risks I will encounter.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved.
For that giant fish, staying in place may not be the best choice, but the safest choice. Although this kind of life must not be pleasant, compared to safety, a mere pleasure should be given up.
But... can you really give up?
Sui Xiong thought carefully.
If he were that fish, would he stick to a boring and lonely life for safety?
Of course not.
If he really wanted to, he would not leave the sea. Being a deep-sea overlord is quite safe and has almost no risks.
But in the end he left the sea, climbed onto the land, contacted civilized society, and did a lot of things.
"I am a human, not a fish." He said to himself, "Fish can adapt to such a dull and boring lonely life, but people cannot."
In fact, he is already a very patient person. He has been practicing in the ice trench for thousands of years, and there are probably not many people who can do this kind of thing.
In Xianxia novels, the cultivators who have been in seclusion for decades and hundreds of years are at least practicing! They don’t know how time passes.
Leaving the mountain where the wonderful giant fish lived below, Sui Xiong thought about it and cast a spell to add a barrier to the mountain.
This barrier has no other effect, it makes people feel boring and instinctively unwilling to approach. It is not powerful, but it has the wonderful power to moisten things silently. Even legendary powerful people will not feel its existence, but will only be affected unknowingly.
Of course, this barrier cannot stop the demigod strongman. But if there is really a demigod strongman approaching, it will have another effect and tell the other party the whole story.
Of course, none of the strong men who can enter the demigod realm are unreasonable young people. They will not fight against Sui Xiong for a mere giant fish.
If they had to do this, the barrier would notify Sui Xiong. If he had time at that time, he might have taken action to stop him.
For giant fish living under the mountain, such a barrier should be enough.
In fact, Sui Xiong felt that he might have been doing this. The giant fish had lived in the underground lake for many years and had been safe and stable. There was no reason why something would happen in the future.
If something really happened, he felt... Maybe this guy ate too much of a demon and was poisoned to death, and the possibility of this was a little higher!
Thinking of this, Sui Xiong couldn't help laughing.
"It's really a pity that this guy can think of it!"
Apart from this interesting giant fish, there is nothing particularly dangerous in the area that will be explored together. There is still a little bit of it, such as ogres, giant monsters, and the strongest one is even close to the legendary realm, but for Sui Xiong, these are not problems.
With Clito, the legendary mid-level team, even the mutant tauren who is close to the legendary realm, there is nothing scary about it.
Speaking of which, the tauren is a little bit distinctive. Other mutant taurens usually have four arms, but it is better to have four legs.
Generally speaking, the tauren has cow hooves and cow heads, but the torso and upper limbs are almost like humans. This tauren also has a cow head, and the torso and upper limbs are no different from ordinary taurens, but it grows below its waist like a cow, just like the famous monster "Centaur".
Or... it should be called "half-human cow"?
However, it does not have a human head, so it should not be called that.
Sui Xiong did not pay special attention to this mutant monster, because he could see that this thing was the result of a magic experiment.
Magicians often do magic experiments and create some strange creatures in them, which is also commonplace. Such as this "half-human cow", it is actually quite normal, and even more strange things are everywhere.
Sui Xiong had heard that evil magicians merged humans and monsters to create real half-human and half-demon monsters. They were also keen to use them to breed them, hoping to inherit the artificial species that were forced to merge acquired through normal reproductive methods to form a stable new species.
I have never heard of anyone who can succeed in such an experiment, but many magicians were put on the siege list and were attacked by adventurers.
This half-human cow had a strange magic mark, probably also escaped from a magician's laboratory. Or it killed the magician and seized freedom for itself with force.
These are possible, but not important.
Because, this guy is a vegetarian.
Sui Xiong carefully observed it. It really vegetarian, and only vegetarian, and does not eat meat at all. Near its nest, rabbits, goats, etc. appear leisurely and casually, obviously not afraid of it. On the contrary, there is no trace of beasts and monsters. It seems that although this guy does not eat meat, he does not have a concept of territory. This is to remind Clito not to have a rash conflict with it.
As for the various beasts and monsters left in the mountain, it is really not worth mentioning. This mountainous area is not very big. There is the "half-human cow" on the surface and the giant fish underground, which has almost occupied the top seat of the food chain. The remaining space is not enough to feed those powerful monsters.
In nature, the more powerful the monster is, the larger the territory it needs. A large number of powerful and dangerous creatures are inhabited in the narrow space, and this situation must be human-made. This mountainous area is not affected by any man, so this strange thing will not happen.
Sui Xiong also explored the situation of the ore veins. There are indeed silver mines here, and the reserves are not low. Many of the accompanying minerals are also quite valuable and worth mining. Interestingly, the resources near the silver mine are obviously quite rich, but the half-human cow does not live near it, but lives in a particularly remote and barren valley. I wonder if it is smarter? Or has it suffered a loss?
Sui Xiong did not tell Clito and others the detailed information about the ore veins. He felt that since he wanted to explore together, he should explore it seriously.
He told them only one thing.
There is indeed a silver mine here, which is worth visiting.
