Chapter 710: Chapter 316: Old Sha, I Want to Eat Fish!_3
Within the vast Crescent Island, a large sea pool was enclosed by the island’s crescent-shaped arc. It was no wonder that numerous sea-boat platforms were scattered across it like pieces on a chessboard, dividing the area into distinct zones.
“Where can I exchange sea tickets and pick up jet flight packs?”
Su Ping glanced at the teeming crowd, realizing it would indeed be challenging to find the location.
“Over there! And there’s one every 2,000 meters!”
Zhao Chen pointed to a temporary structure set up on the coast, not more than 100 meters from a group of people.
Su Ping nodded, “Thank you!”
Just then, as he was about to step forward, a few figures descended from the sky in the distance.
All of them looked pale, clearly having expended a lot of spiritual power, and bore some injuries.
“Quick, notify the others, Platform 18 has been completely overrun again! Those damned Cruising Gold Swordfish are back!”
From the sky, numerous other Beast Tamers were also landing. One of them even had their shoulder and thigh pierced completely through, with blood flowing profusely. A medical Beast Tamer from the side hurried over to treat the wounds.
“Platform 18? Cruising Gold Swordfish?”
Su Ping blinked, then turned to look at Zhao Chen, who, reluctantly roped into acting as a guide, was near tears.
Despite his reluctance, Zhao Chen patiently explained, “One registration point is responsible for ten sea-boat platforms. We are at Registration Point Two, which is in charge of Platforms 11 to 20. Platform 18 is a particularly troublesome one. A Commander Level Ferocious Beast school, known as the Golden Flag Swordfish, lurks in the vicinity of this sea-boat platform. The resource used on Platform 18 is a pile known as ’Water Essence Gold.’ This material emits a Water and Metal elemental aura that greatly attracts the Golden Flag Swordfish. This attraction is so strong that it even causes their evolved form—the Monarch Level Cruising Gold Swordfish—to be drawn to visit from time to time. They are extremely troublesome and problematic!”
“Golden Flag Swordfish… Cruising Gold Swordfish…”
Su Ping blinked, then nodded. “Are the sea-boat platforms not segregated by Commander and Monarch Levels?”
“They are differentiated! Some platforms hold resources that emit a Monarch Level aura; these are hunting grounds for High-Level Monarch Beastmasters. However, there are always exceptions. For certain aquatic Ferocious Beasts, the main factor is the attraction of their Attribute. Although Water Essence Gold is a Commander Level resource, it’s at the Peak of Commander Level. Moreover, none of the sea-boat platforms on Crescent Island currently have Gold and Water dual-Attribute resources that have reached Monarch Level. Once Ferocious Beasts attain Monarch Level, their intelligence increases sharply, making them very cunning. That’s why these schools of Cruising Gold Swordfish occasionally come by to take advantage. If there’s no Beast Tamer on the platform capable of resisting them, it will naturally be breached. In the past, more than ten Beast Tamers and their Contracted Beasts have died on Platform 18…”
Hearing Zhao Chen’s words, Su Ping gained a deeper understanding of the dire situation on Crescent Island and nodded again. “If a platform is lost, what happens on this side of the shore?”
Zhao Chen shrugged. “What else can be done? We wait for this school of Cruising Gold Swordfish to completely devour and destroy the resources placed on the sea-boat platform. Then, the shore team will set it up again. However, I reckon that even if it’s reset, not many Beast Tamers will choose Platform 18 anymore. Compared to other locations, the threat from this school of Cruising Gold Swordfish is just too great. And if no Beast Tamers are willing to go, the office here won’t be in a hurry to redeploy resources.”
Su Ping nodded, observing the eyes of the surrounding Beast Tamers who looked at those descending from Platform 18 with a miserable appearance, a similarly grim and fearful expression on their faces.
After some thought, Su Ping finally asked Zhao Chen the last question, “Is the meat of the Golden Flag Swordfish, and this Cruising Gold Swordfish… tasty?”
At that question, Zhao Chen blinked, giving Su Ping a peculiar look. Scratching his head, he thought for a while before saying, “I think… it’s alright? I haven’t eaten it myself, but I remember hearing someone say that the Forest Hotel in Linzhou serves Golden Flag Swordfish. It’s prepared as sashimi, and I heard it melts in your mouth, incredibly sweet, like eating ice cream…”
As Zhao Chen pondered the flavor of the dish, when he came to, Su Ping’s figure had already arrived at the area of Registration Point Two.
“I want to register for a sea ticket—Platform 18!”
He’s really going?
Zhao Chen’s eyes widened, but upon seeing Su Ping speaking among the surprised glances of the staff, he realized what the earlier conversation meant.
And sure enough, as soon as he spoke, everyone’s eyes turned to Su Ping.
Platform 18 had just suffered a heavy blow, and someone still wanted to go?
Even the staff at the office were briefly shocked, then frowned. “Young man, you’re alone. If things go wrong and the platform is breached again, the Water Essence Gold will be wasted! Why don’t you find a team to join?”
Su Ping once again summoned Old Sha. While Old Sha looked on speechlessly, compelled to adopt a fierce gaze, Su Ping then said, “Is this acceptable now?”
Seeing the terrifying giant wolf before him, the staff member also felt the pressure of a Monarch Level Ferocious Beast and hastily nodded.
