Chapter 206 - Searching Needles in the Ice Sea (1/2)

Mo Kun’s blue eyes seemed to be full of water, and he did not have the heart to continue.

Long Xi said, “It’s not horrible enough. When I was young, I used to travel to a place that was a whale slaughterhouse during the 17th to 18th centuries. That is a really horrible place. If there’s a chance, I will take you around.”

SU said, “Rome is not built in one day! Since we’re scientists, let’s solve this problem! Now the most important thing is to find the scales of the ice blade fish!”

Long Xi said, “Ice blade fish is living in the depth of Deep Ice Snowfield. It’s rare and difficult to catch. Its color is similar to ice or snow, so it’s not easy to be found. It never stays in the same place. It moves fast and is difficult to catch. Besides, it can release electricity like an electric eel. It has sharp scales and fins. Therefore, no animal can swallow it, even whales, seals, or ice bears. In this way, it nearly has no natural enemy even if it is small. Plankton is its food. It can live for around 10 years. Before it dies, it will spawn once in a lifetime.”

Mo Kun asked, “So why should we go to the deep sea to catch it? It’s so hard. It’s too cold, for the first thing, while it will take a long time. Then, there must be so many fierce animals! Luckily, we have taken the shark diving suits and first-class diving equipment invented by me! We can just catch fish in the sea at ease!”

Long Xi said, “In comparison, it isn’t one of the rarest medicinal materials. Do you still remember the shell of Myxidium we found in the sand sea?”

Mo Kun said with a smile, “Of course I did. Myxidium is a kind of insect living in the desert with the size of a tadpole. It only has two years to live. Before it dies, it will shed its shell completely. Only such a shell can be effective. If it dies of illness, gets killed, or dies accidentally, its shell will not be effective but poisonous, because it will produce a highly toxic toxin before it dies. In this way, its shell becomes more and more cherished! You don’t know when it dies. It might be killed when you try to catch it. Last time, we tried so hard to find one! For its function to prolong people’s lives, many people come for it. We also had a fierce battle with another group who were also looking for its shells!”

Long Xi said valiantly, “Since we have got such a medical material through painstaking efforts, diving into the ice sea will not be a big deal, right? But, I still have a small problem. I’m afraid of the water! I shall wait for you by the shore!”

Mo Kun said with some doubts, “Are you afraid of water? I remember that you’re a good swimmer!”

Long Xi thought, “But I am not the real TI!”

She had to make up an excuse. “I’m not feeling good today.”

Mo Kun said, “Okay, I can go down alone. SU and you can wait for me by the shore.”

SU said with some dissatisfaction, “How can I allow you to go to such a dangerous place alone?”

Mo Kun shook his head with a serious expression, while Long Xi said with a smile, “How can I bear you to do such a dangerous thing?”

SU rolled her eyes at her with a smile. “Oh, he’s flirting with me again! Why am I feeling that it’s good? What should I do?”

Mo Kun also made out some difference and said with a smile, “When do you become so intimate? I remember that you two don’t like each other two hours ago. TI, have you invented something like ‘fast-acting drugs for love’? Are you two the so-called quarrelsome lovers? Okay, I beg you to stop flirting! Let’s set out in a hurry!”

Long Xi moved her unused body and danced “disco for the elderly” around SU. She clapped her hands and sang to SU with a smile, “If you love me, you should follow me to clap your hands, SU! If you love me, you should follow me to clap your hands, SU!”

SU covered her mouth to hold back her laughter, but her smile had already been revealed in her eyes.

Long Xi stopped, touched the corner of SU’s mouth, and said, “Something on your face!” Flirting with girls should be bold, careful, and have a thick hide, which was written in the Book of Picking up Girls.

“What’s that?” SU was a little confused.

“Something beautiful!” Long Xi said with a deep smile.

Girls liked to be spoiled, especially those who began to understand love!

Then, Mo Kun was very surprised to see SU, who normally behaved indifferently, to wear a large smile. She shook her long hair (she was not bald during those days) and walked towards the sea.

They came to the beach and saw some thin floating ice on the surface of the water.

Long Xi stood by the shore, watching Mo Kun and SU change the “shark diving suits” invented by Mo Kun.

These diving suits were made of some special synthesis materials, whose color was similar to the skin of the billhead shark, which could confuse the aquatic animals. Then, they did not dare to harass them.

At the same time, these suits could also resist cold and be water-proof, and their assembly design could also increase their swimming speed in the water. They were also equipped with a set of diving equipment, such as underwater searchlights, air tubes, masks, flippers, and some others.

The watches on their wrists were similar to the underwater watches and could be used as signal detectors. If they encountered an unsolvable danger at the bottom of the water, they could send a signal to Long Xi on the shore through the signal device. Then, Long Xi could come for help.

Long Xi suddenly thought of something and asked, “Is there any salmon in this sea?”

Mo Kun was confused and asked, “What do you mean by salmon?”

Long Xi went over TI’s memory and found that there were many kinds of fish in the sea, one of which had a similar appearance to that of salmon in the earth. It named sea rainbow fish, with a large amount.

Then, Long Xi said, “Can you bring me two sea rainbow fish back by the way? They’re useful to me!”

SU asked, “Do you want to study the sea rainbow fish? Is it also a kind of medicinal material?”
