Due to weather reasons, there were some major turbulences in the sky and sea, and a large amount of sea water poured down, forming a heavy rain.
It was also because of the surging sea that the dead fish was rolled to the surface of the sea and then fell to the ground.
Such heavy rain came in handy for Ji Lun. He turned into his original form and could wander in the air, floating towards that direction. Walking in the air was always faster than walking on the ground.
Qin Minghuang thus experienced the feeling of flying in the air. Compared with Ji Lun, her size was like that of a child and an elephant. With this weight, it was basically no burden for Ji Lun to carry her.
This is completely different from taking a plane. It is more like riding a hot air balloon, but it is much more interesting than a hot air balloon.
In order to prevent her from being destroyed by the heavy rain in the air, Ji Lun made a temporary nest - he spit out a bubble to wrap his female, then used several tentacles to tightly wrap the bubble, and dragged the transparent bubble into the sky.
Qin Minghuang finally knew what the ball that trapped her when she woke up on the tall TV tower was.
But that's not the point. The point is that it's really exciting! She lay in the bubble excitedly, looking around.
The heavy rain somewhat obstructed her vision. In such heavy rain, the city that had just been abandoned by people looked even more gloomy and hazy, like a city in fantasy, while the sky and sea seemed to be connected with the ground, and rain, fog and water droplets filled the entire misty world.
Ji Lun, who had turned into his original form, stretched his body in the heavy rain. The heavy rain, which was a disaster for other creatures, was a blessing from heaven for him. He kept absorbing the rain water that fell on his body and then expelled it from his body, just like breathing.
After the initial excitement, Qin Minghuang sat cross-legged in the bubble, holding his chin and waiting for the octopus car to reach its destination.
The place where the big fish landed looked not far away, but it would take a long time to actually get there. She took out her watch and looked at it, and found that an hour had passed since they set out, and the big fish was still not far away.
After finally getting to the vicinity, the heavy rain gradually subsided, leaving only a few raindrops. Ji Lun wrapped her in his arms, flying lower and lower, and was about to land.
At this distance, Qin Minghuang clearly saw the size of the big fish. Even though she knew in her mind that this was a very big fish, when it really came in front of her, the size of the fish still shocked her again.
In her world, the largest animal in the ocean is the blue whale. Qin Minghuang had seen it before, but the fish in front of him was several times larger than a blue whale.
The closer she got, the clearer she could see. The smooth fish skin was gradient with blue, light blue and white. The fins were extremely long and spread out in a fan shape on the ground. There were dots of luster on them, which was very beautiful.
The dead giant crushed an entire forest on the ground. This should have been a large forest, but now only a few trees on the edge survived, and the rest were all flattened or pressed under the big fish.
The ground around the big fish was littered with a layer of air and sea creatures of various colors and shapes, all of which were caught in the water flow along with the body of the big fish and fell down in a daze.
Generally, when such a big fish is about to die, it will be followed by a "ribbon" made up of other creatures in the sea as it sinks into the deep sea. They are the first group to share the big fish's corpse.
Now these guys were swept to the ground together. Some of them could adapt to the new environment, such as some soft-bodied creatures and arthropods, while others could not completely escape from the sea water and could only bounce weakly on the ground and eventually die, such as some ordinary fish.
Around the big fish there was a mess of big and small fish and monsters of all sizes that Qin Minghuang had never seen before, and she had no place to step.
Although he was anxious to catch the first wave of dinner, Ji Lun still remembered to take good care of his female. He floated to a big tree near the big fish's head and stopped on the only surviving tree nearby. He put the bubble wrapped in Qin Minghuang on the branch and secured it well.
Then he flicked the bubbles, silently signaled, stretched his body, swam far away in the air, and pierced the big fish's brain like a flower.
The most nutritious part of this big fish is the top of its head, a ball of semi-solidified ointment wrapped in thick skin and bones.
In the past, these ointments would be shared by many fish, but now there are no competitors. Ji Lun happened to arrive at the right time, one step faster than all his competitors.
The giant octopus was perched there, with sharp teeth underneath its harmless and beautiful anemone-shaped body. It bit through the fish's skin, made a big hole in the fish's head, and stretched its legs in to suck up the nutritious ointment.
At this time, the arthropods that had initially adapted to the ground environment were still trying to climb onto the body of the big fish. The fastest and largest ones came near Ji Lun, wanting to snatch the most delicious part from him.
No matter where you are, food is precious. Ji Lun can share food with his female without hesitation, and even give all the food to her, but when it comes to other creatures that want to snatch food, he will only show his most ferocious and true side.
It has numerous limbs, which allow it to take advantage of the time to suck food while using several limbs to drive away other creatures.
The area around him soon turned into a battlefield. Seeing that he was able to handle the situation with ease and fight against a hundred people alone, Qin Minghuang did not pay too much attention to him. Instead, he took out a blade with familiarity and released himself from the bubble.
She wanted to come along, but she wasn't going to just sit on the tree and watch the fun like a burden.
In order to reduce Ji Lun's load, she brought only a few things, including basic weapons such as iron rods and knives, as well as ropes, hooks and other small items.
Spotting an open space on the ground with few marine life, Qin Minghuang tightened his gloves, grabbed the rope and jumped down from the tree.
—From food, to food!
"Pah." A small soft creature was stepped on by her, and it stretched out its thin tentacles under the sole of her shoe and twisted, trying to drill into her shoe.
Qin Minghuang quickly pulled out the knife tied to his leg and stabbed it to death on the ground. When it stopped moving, he lifted it up and observed it for a while, then flicked it off the tip of the knife.
She walked along the open spaces outside, stopping from time to time to observe the various air and sea creatures on the ground, silently memorizing them all. When she came across something that interested her, she used a stick to push them aside separately.
Most of these guests who had just arrived in the new world were still dizzy and their killing power was not great, not as great as those mutated guys in Inle City. Qin Minghuang could deal with them easily.
She not only saw familiar monsters, but also saw many fish she had never seen before.
It seemed delicious, so she squatted beside a slender pink fish, dragged it up, and prepared to have Ji Lun cook it for her later.
This one seemed good too, with firm meat. She pulled up another silver fish.
Hey, the meat of this fish is black, not bad, I must try it.
Qin Minghuang picked and chose as if she was shopping in a seafood market. She wanted to eat this and that, and soon she had picked a lot of fish.
Even this is just a drop in the bucket, there are so many more lying on the ground.
The fish in the empty sea doesn’t have too strong a fishy smell and tastes delicious, which is great.
And the one that looked like a crab but was much bigger than a crab. Although the shell was hard and the meat was only a little bit, it was really delicious. Qin Minghuang thought about the big crab he had eaten before, picked up the steel pipe and ran over excitedly.
Ji Lun cleared out the most nutritious parts of the big fish, then made way and hurried to look for his female.
Just now he found that she had left the temporary nest and was wandering on the ground. If she had not stayed far away from here, he would have given up the rest of the paste and chased after her.
Qin Minghuang was happily dragging a large crab towards his food storage area. When he saw him coming, he casually said, "You finished eating so quickly?"
Ji Lun couldn't stand her doing the "heavy work", so he helped her take the big crab from her hand, transformed into a human form, and replied in an unusually meek manner: "Well, I've finished eating it, and I brought you some more."
After all, it was such a good thing, so of course he would eat it and share it with his precious female.
"I'll feed you. It's fresh." He thought for a moment, then held Qin Minghuang's chin and put his mouth close to him.
The act of feeding occurs in couples and parent-child relationships among their species.
Qin Minghuang saw his face getting closer and closer, so he put his hand on his mouth and refused with a serious expression: "No!"
The female rejected his approach. The giant octopus, who had become increasingly familiar with the art of human behavior and language, felt depressed, and the color of the legs of his lower body immediately changed honestly according to his mood.
Qin Minghuang then said: "I don't eat it raw! I'll eat it after it's cooked!"
If he just wanted to kiss her, maybe she would agree, after all, she had never tried it before and was a little curious. But this kind of unknown food must be cooked before eating, this is a matter of principle.
Ji Lun obediently went to cook for her.
It was already dark, and they were resting in an open space not far away. The fire-making utensils and sofa were dragged back by Ji Lun from a house far away.
With his increasingly sophisticated cooking skills and attentive service, Qin Minghuang has naturally degenerated into a do-nothing uncle who just sits with his feet up waiting for food. Watching him busying around, he does three things at once: cooking, cleaning the surroundings, and building a temporary hut.
No wonder men in the past liked to marry virtuous wives. She likes it too.
Not only capable, but also competent.
"Brother Yu, I'm cold." The old man lying on the sofa moved his mouth.
Soon, a leg reached out, pulled up a blanket from under her feet, gently covered her with it, and tucked in a few corners.
He put his originally cold feet against her cheek and found that she was indeed a little cold, so he warmed his feet up and put them into the blanket against her heart to provide her with warmth.
Qin Minghuang lazily pinched the foot in his arms and shouted again: "Brother Yu, I'm hungry. Haven't you finished eating yet?"
After a while, two legs came over with hot fish fillets. Ji Lun turned his head and looked at her happily holding his legs. "Honey, eat a little first. The rest will be ready soon."
…
After enjoying a delicious meal, Qin Minghuang leaned on the sofa to digest the food, waiting for Ji Lun to deal with all the chores. He took pleasure in taking care of her, and even wanted to feed her food, and really fulfilled her previous random request. I don't know if it's his nature, or if he changed for love.
Qin Minghuang just wanted to play around before, but now she thinks there is nothing wrong in taking it seriously. No ordinary human male can be as good as her brother Yu.
Ji Lun dragged his limbs to sit beside her and began to look at her with the eyes that are scientifically called infatuation, also known as idiot.
Qin Minghuang was just about to teach him some knowledge of human physiology when suddenly, Ji Lun turned his head and looked outside.
Qin Minghuang noticed something was wrong, "What's going on?"
Ji Lun: "There are a lot of human smells coming this way."
Qin Minghuang sat up and looked into the night. Seeing nothing, she retracted her gaze and stepped on Ji Lun's feet that were dragging on the ground.
"Keep those legs of yours hidden and don't show them."
Ever since he discovered that she quite liked these limbs, he has become more and more fond of letting them out.
"You'd better be careful not to be discovered, otherwise, they will catch you and study you. We humans have inexhaustible curiosity and we love to do research the most." Qin Minghuang took out the knife he always carried with him, wiped it, and said with a smile.
