Chapter 449: Chapter 424: Mu Zhen Auction (Three in One)

A very beautiful creature?

Qiao Sang recalled the scene just a moment ago and fell silent for a long while after realizing who the furious eyeball fish was referring to.

At this moment, the sea salt lizard’s green glow was once again bright, clearly revealing the coy and shy appearance of the furious eyeball fish.

An absurd idea suddenly occurred to her:

Could it be... It has taken a fancy to Lubao...

"What did it say?" Jiang Xiu asked curiously.

Qiao Sang translated, "It’s looking for Lubao. It might have bothered it when Lubao was picking up Dark Serene Crystal next to it earlier."

"What?!" Jiang Xiu’s face changed, and he shouted at the sea salt lizard, "Full speed ahead!"

"Sea salt!"

The sea salt lizard cried out and suddenly accelerated.

"Zhu Zhu!"

The furious eyeball fish was first stunned, then showed an annoyed expression and also increased its speed.

Along the way, small and medium-sized water-type pet beasts fled in terror.

"Xun Xun!" Xiao Xunbao held a loudspeaker, looking excited.

To still be pursued after such a long chase, what on earth is it trying to do... Qiao Sang felt uneasy in her heart.

If the furious eyeball fish’s goal is Lubao, it would be better to keep them apart. Although she was not one to judge a beast by its appearance, Lubao had liked Yaobao, which suggests normal aesthetic judgment.

A creature with an extraordinary appearance like the furious eyeball fish was definitely not Lubao’s type, and Professor Jiang had also said that the furious eyeball fish is a thorn in one’s side, indicating a bad temper. Lubao also had a rather bad temper, so what if they fought at the slightest disagreement?

Ugly in appearance and bad in temper.

No, this just won’t do...

After continuing the chase for a distance, Jiang Xiu, with a face as dark as could be, finally couldn’t help but open his backpack and started searching inside.

"What are you looking for?" Qiao Sang asked.

"An underwater signaling device," Jiang Xiu replied while searching.

The underwater signaling devices in the Ancient Mist Region differ from those in other regions. The devices are more sophisticated due to the fact that the region is submerged in water, making the communication and safety measures for underwater far superior to other regions.

There are generally two types of underwater signaling devices.

One type sends signals to the safety towers on the water’s surface, where professionals will carry out the rescue.

The other type allows communication with others who also carry underwater signaling devices. This method has become quite popular in the Ancient Mist Region.

Nowadays, almost everyone venturing underwater in the Ancient Mist Region carries a signaling device.

Those carrying the device can receive distress signals from others within a certain range and can also see the approximate distance between them and the other party.

Whether to help or not is entirely up to the individual’s discretion.

In the early stages, most people were enthusiastic, and they would come to help as soon as a signal was sent out.

However, as time went on, some people with malicious intentions began to misuse the signals from underwater signaling devices to lure others in and rob them.

There were also people with good intentions but lacking strength who would rush to the signal’s source, only to end up as easy targets.

This led to a period where, despite everyone carrying the devices, distress signals often went unanswered.

Therefore, in the later stages, the underwater signaling devices were improved: a real-name purchase system was implemented, with a limit of one device per person; the devices began classifying dangers into different levels, allowing recipients of the signal to understand more clearly the degree of danger the caller was facing.

Now, the underwater signaling device is one of the most common communication tools in the Ancient Mist Region.

"Found it!" Jiang Xiu exclaimed as he took out a white device with a screen, similar to a phone but much thicker, from his backpack.

He operated it for a moment.

A green signal point quickly started blinking on the screen.

After the signal was sent, Jiang Xiu’s expression softened slightly.

To think it would dare to trouble Bingke Xilu; if it weren’t for Qiao Sang being nearby, he would have given this furious eyeball fish a lesson in manners.

Now, they could only wait for others to arrive.

"Zhu Zhu!"

At that moment, the furious eyeball fish cried out.

"Ya Ya!"

Yaobao translated timely.

And still it has us waiting for it, what is it thinking, can’t it see we don’t want to deal with it... After complaining in her mind, Qiao Sang asked, "Is it insisting on following us because it knows Lubao is here?"

Jiang Xiu pondered for a moment and replied,

"It should. Even though Bingke Xilu disappeared right in front of it, its scent was still there, otherwise it wouldn’t keep chasing us relentlessly. Plus, it has interacted with members who participated in the water-type wild pet beast exchange before, so it’s aware of the existence of Beast Tamers."
