Chapter 531: Watching Master Bob in the Water
Ning Shu was dragged by Kelp-sama to the bottom of the sea once again. She felt like the greatest regret she had in this lifetime was making a kelp her spirit pet.
Since it didn’t really think, it was so difficult to communicate.
Ning Shu was forced to crouch next to Kelp-sama like she was a neighboring stalk of kelp.
She reached out and felt around. There was probably coral below them since it felt hard and bumpy.
She continued trying to communicate with Kelp-sama, but Kelp-sama only responded with very simple emotions and basically didn’t understand what Ning Shu was saying at all.
After holding her breath for a long time, she had Kelp-sama bring her up so that she could breathe. If she didn’t get some air, she’d die.
She had to repeat it countless times for Kelp-sama to finally bring her to the surface of the sea. Right after she took a breathe, the kelp once again dragged her down. A while later, it’d bring her to the surface again for a second before dragging her down to the bottom of the sea again. Another while later, it’d bring her up again. This repeated countless times.
The lightning wind eagle just stand on the shore and watched as its master’s head popped up and down.
Ning Shu: Fudging exhausted.
She didn’t even know what to say.
After being tormented like this for a while, Ning Shu discovered that she had gotten used to the bone-piercing chill of the sea and she no longer felt cold. Her senses had probably gone completely numb due to the cold.
As Ning Shu stood next to Kelp-sama, she sensed that there was quite a lot of primordial energy in this ocean so her body seemed to be slowly getting stronger.
During this period of time, she had gotten more familiar with the situation here. Kelp-sama was the only spirit beast in this place. Sometimes she would feel bones on the ground. They were probably the remains of the spirit beasts that the kelp had latched onto.
Ning Shu didn’t know how the kelp managed to evolve to this state from being a simple plant. It was seriously too unbelievable. Ning Shu tried communicating with Kelp-sama, but the kelp remained very blank.
Seriously, why did she always end up encountering naive fools? It was enough that she had to deal with a zombie, but now it was a kelp! At this rate, what would pop up in the future?
The kelp had Ning Shu crouch next to it. It didn’t demand anything other than that. Whenever Ning Shu tried to leave, the kelp would tighten its grip around her so that she couldn’t move.
Fudge, was she going to end up dying of old age in this plane?
Dying due to a kelp was probably the most pathetic way to die.
Ning Shu had no choice but to slowly train. She found that training here below the sea was actually faster than when she trained on land. This counted as a single bit of comfort in this pitiful situation.
Nothing got through to this kelp and it responded to all her words with sluggish confusion. Ning Shu’s hands were seriously tied. Life was just this sad for those who were weak.
“System 2333-sama, help please!” For the first time, Ning Shu asked 2333 for help.
There was the sound of an electric current in her head for a long time, but 2333 didn’t speak. Ning Shu felt like this guy’s motherboard was probably fried.
“What is it?” asked 2333. Then he exclaimed, “There’s so much spirit essence under your butt!”
Ning Shu hastily felt around. “Where? Where!?”
Then she found a rock-like thing. “Is this spirit essence?”
“Wow, it even crystalized! It’s good stuff, very good stuff!” said 2333 hastily. “There’s even liquified spirit essence below.”
Ning Shu felt around and found what 2333 meant. The thing was very heavy and felt like gelatin jelly in the water. Even though it was surrounded by sea water, it didn’t dissolve.
She finally understood how the kelp had been able to grow so strong. It was because it had fed on spirit essence so all it had was strength and no brains.
“Hurry! These are all good sources of energy! Give them to me!” 2333 finally found an energy that he liked.
Ning Shu gave the spirit essence crystals to 2333, then took a piece of the gelatin spirit essence and stuck it in her mouth. Endless amounts of spirit energy instantly exploded inside her body. It felt like her body was going to burst.
“Are you trying to commit suicide? This isn’t something you can casually eat!” said 2333. “Just a drop of spirit essence contains an enormous amount of spirit energy.”
Ning Shu felt like the spirit energy was about to explode out of her body. Blood was seeping out from her pores.
The kelp seemed to sense that something was off with Ning Shu and it pulled her to the surface of the sea.
