The taste of this monster fish was even more disgusting than Long Ao imagined.
Those tentacles seemed to be alive, using suction cups to suck Long Ao's upper teeth, making it difficult for him to even swallow.
Long Ao resisted the urge to spit it out, swallowed hard, and finally swallowed the tentacles of the monster fish.
He opened his eyes filled with physiological tears and looked around, seeing everyone looking at him with either admiration or sympathy.
"How is it? It tastes good, right?" Hu Xiao said with a smile.
Long Ao looked at his smiling face, and stubbornness arose in his heart. He wiped the corners of his mouth and said indifferently: "Of course!"
"Eat, eat, I told you it's delicious." Seeing Long Ao eat it, the mermaid tribe quickly advised the guests around them.
Only then did Long Ao discover that there were several orcs from other tribes in the mermaid tribe. They seemed to be the Fanshan tribe members who had followed Long Ao to the island.
It was difficult for everyone to refuse, so they had to imitate Long Ao and eat it, but obviously they did not have Long Ao's endurance, and some orcs vomited it out on the spot.
"It seems that our guests don't like to eat the food on the island yet, so we should bring out the thorn berries to entertain them." Hu Xiao said.
"No need!" Long Ao took out something like a bamboo tube from his arms. At his instruction, the Seventeenth and others also quickly picked up some hay and dead branches from the surrounding area.
Soon, the fire was lit. Sixteen and Seventeen cut the monster fish into several pieces, skewered them on sticks, and roasted them on the fire.
"It's not that we can't eat food from the island, it's just that we're not used to your way of eating."
Long Ao looked at Hu Xiao provocatively.
Hu Xiao looked at the fire and was stunned for a long time.
"Is everyone out there already so powerful now? Can you all carry the beast god's fire with you?"
"This was given to me by Hu Dong. Speaking of which, he is Hu Tian's son, that is, your grandson." Long Ao said without raising his head.
"Grandson!" Hu Xiao muttered to himself. When he left, Hu Yue had just given birth to three cubs. Before he knew it, these cubs were already so big and so capable!
"All of my tiger cubs are so awesome! I'm very happy, I'm very happy." Hu Xiao rubbed his hands excitedly.
"These are all the work of Grandma Tiger and have nothing to do with you." Long Ao corrected him.
"Yes, yes, it's all thanks to Zhenzhen. Zhenzhen has really worked hard these years."
After the meat of the monster fish was grilled, it was quickly rolled.
Because they had just cast a shadow on the tentacles of the monster fish, none of the orcs from the Namu tribe and the Luoer tribe stopped touching those tentacles.
The mermaids on the island were a little scared at first when they saw the fire.
But seeing the tiger roaring as steadily as a mountain and chatting and laughing happily, they gradually calmed down.
They had seen fire before, but the old patriarch did not allow fire to be brought to the island.
He said fire would destroy everything on the island.
Now that they see these new guests facing the fire so calmly, the mermaid tribe is no longer afraid.
Those who were brave even tried the monster fish that had been roasted over fire. It had a burnt taste and was not as delicious as the unroasted fish.
Everyone ate the same monster fish according to their own preferences.
Long Ao handed Hu Xiao a bunch of roasted meat. After Hu Xiao took a bite, he closed his eyes and slowly chewed and savored it, "Well, roasted food is indeed more to my taste."
"Now can you tell me what happened after you arrived on the island?" Long Ao asked.
Hu Xiao looked around. The mermaids on the sea were all very interested in the new guests. They chatted with each other and got to know each other that they were not familiar with. The atmosphere seemed to be very harmonious.
Hu Xiao picked up a piece of grilled monster fish and a green fruit. He looked at Long Aozhi and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the other side."
Long Ao followed Hu Xiao obediently and walked half a circle around the island before Hu Xiao finally stopped.
He found a flat stone and sat down, then folded two leaves and put the food he had brought on top. Then he took out a stone knife from behind and cut the food into pieces.
Long Ao sat there, quietly watching him finish the work in front of him.
Hu Xiao wiped off the thorn fruit juice on his hand with a leaf, and handed a piece to Long Ao before speaking.
"You see, we live on this island. No matter it is day or night, we are surrounded by fog. Before you came to the island, I even doubted whether we were still alive and whether we had communicated with the outside world. There is no contact anymore.”
"But you can also see the sky and the stars in the sky are different every night."
Hu Xiao patted Long Ao's shoulder and said with great feeling: "What's wrong with you, kid? How come you can guess what I do every day? I do look at the stars in the sky every day, and I can only look at these Stars, I just know that I am still alive."
"Did the mermaid clan leader's curse prevent you from leaving the island?" After Hu Xiao finished speaking, Long Ao suddenly felt soft-hearted for some reason, and his attitude towards Hu Xiao became better.
"Yes." Huxiao let out a long breath.
"These fogs surrounding the island, these things originally didn't exist."
"But didn't you help the mermaid tribe? Why is this happening?" Long Ao was puzzled.
"We helped the mermaid tribe. We rescued the mermaid tribe's leader. We also grabbed two boats from the sea and sent them back to the island." Hu Xiao said.
"But the orcs from the Haisheng tribe who wanted to grab things didn't intend to give up. Soon after we returned to Pearl Island, the orcs from the Haisheng tribe followed us to the island."
"Did you kill those orcs?" Long Ao asked.
Those who want to steal things are bad people. In Long Ao's opinion, these people can be killed.
Unexpectedly, Hu Xiao shook his head.
"Those orcs are not actually bad people. They were just deceived by other orcs. They thought that the treasures of the clan were stolen by the mermaid clan."
"In fact, the mermaid tribe did take one thing from them, which was the crystal stones they used to refine fine salt."
Long Ao was almost stunned.
"These crystals were actually exchanged by the mermaid clan. The mermaids exchanged the clan's most precious ointment for the crystals, and the orcs of the Haisheng clan wanted to take the crystals back."
"What should you do, Grandpa Tiger? You should help the mermaid tribe." Long Ao asked tentatively.
Hu Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head. This chapter has been completed!
