Chapter 232
Xie Juanhan carefully finished his small bowl of porridge and said, "Besides the pond, the seaweed seeds in the sea should be ripe too. We can go check them out later."
Telingewei: "The seawater is quite deep, so the seaweed spikes might not grow to the surface."
Xie Juanhan: "Yes, the seaweed seeds on the other side of the sea mostly grow underwater and can't be harvested by wind, which is quite troublesome, but we can still go and take a look. It's a good opportunity to invite the Tata Fish; it's been quite a while since we've seen them."
Upon hearing Xie Juanhan mention his friends in the sea, Harper and the others enthusiastically agreed, "Aww!"
Xie Juanhan: "Then shall I have the carrier bird deliver a letter to the Tata Fish?"
The furry creatures. "Aww!"
Haxi also said they would write, "Chirp!"
Xie Juanhan: "Okay, let's all write together later."
The Haxi and the others don't know words, but luckily the Tata Fish are also illiterate.
Xie Juanhan drew vines and Demonic Oyster on the letter paper, Tata Fish to gather at the Demonic Oyster's breeding ground.
Haxi and his companions left their paw prints directly on the letter.
They had been envious of Nibote's last letter to his kin, and had long wanted to try sending messages using paw prints. This time, they finally had their chance.
After writing the letter, Xie Juanhan called the little messenger bird over to deliver it to the Tata Fish.
They live very close to the ocean, and there are seabirds nearby that can serve as messenger birds.
The seabird snatched the Demonic Core, ate several pieces of jerky, flapped its wings, and eagerly went to deliver the message to the Tata Fish.
Once it reached above the Tata Fish, it airdropped the letter.
The letter unfolded in mid-air, drifted leisurely to the sea, and floated on the surface.
Enchanted letter paper can remain dry even when submerged in water, and the contents will not become blurred.
The Tata Fish stretched their heads, blinked their beady eyes, and stared at the messy claw marks on the letter, their eyes full of confusion.
They suspected that Nibote and his friends were playing a prank by sending them paw-wiping cloths.
However, the aura emanating from above was quite evident.
The Tata Fish immediately smelled the furry creatures; they even caught a whiff of cat litter—or rather, Griffin litter.
The Tata Fish tilted their heads, examined the letter, and after thinking for a long time, they clicked their tongues and clapped.
The way Griffin send letters may seem a bit unrefined, but that's okay; as friendly fish, they're tolerant.

See you tonight!
Chapter 232 [VIP]
On the cold seashore, the sun peeked out from behind the clouds, its rays scattering in all directions and illuminating the seawater with a slightly yellowish-green hue.
The Tata Fish surfaced from the water every now and then, anxiously awaiting Xie Juanhan and his group's arrival.
They waited for quite a while before finally seeing three small black dots appear in the sky.
The small black dots turned into large black dots, which were respectively a dragon, Griffin, and Demon Wolf.
The Tata Fish immediately cried out excitedly, "Click click click!"
They even leaped high out of the sea, using their fins to guide their friends. "Click-click!"
"I see it--" Xie Juanhan shouted from the back of the giant dragon.
"Click, click, click!" the Tata Fish responded enthusiastically.
Xie Juanhan and his group landed on the shore, and the Tata Fish chased after them to the shore.
Xie Juanhan jumped down from the dragon's back, first taking out some dried meat from the basket and throwing it to the Tata Fish, then asking with a smile, "Are the seaweed seeds ripe by now? They were ripe when we came to check a few days ago."
The Tata Fish, who had just jumped up like puppies to catch the jerky, tilted their heads, and DouDou looked puzzled.
Xie Juanhan had a bad feeling. "What's wrong?"
A Tata Fish wondered why it was collecting aquatic plant seeds, "Click click click?"
Xie Juanhan: "Because we want to eat it."
More Tata Fish simultaneously cried out, "Crack, crack crack crack, crack crack!"
Xie Juanhan was puzzled when he heard them say that the seaweed seeds were very small and could not be retrieved once they drifted into the sea. "That shouldn't be the case," he thought. "Seaweed seeds ripen so quickly? There should still be some seeds left on the branches."
The Tata Fish let out another "click-click-click!"
Xie Juanhan couldn't understand their "fish language," so he simply handed the basket to Telingewei, who had just transformed back into human form, and plunged into the sea, intending to go and see for himself.
As soon as it entered the sea, the White Dragon was almost swarmed in the face by a dense school of fish.
There are so many fish down there!
White Dragon glanced around and spotted at least six or seven groups of fish with completely different shapes, colors, and diets.
Many schools of fish were chasing after the fallen seeds of aquatic plants, while others were hunting fish that were eating the seeds.
Below, everything was thriving and full of life.
White Dragon was stunned.
Soon, the White Dragon realized what had happened.
Seaweed seeds in the sea are affected by water pressure and waves, and fall off as soon as they mature, drifting away with the current.
Vegetarian fish, shrimp, crabs, shellfish, and other seafood are attracted by the seeds of aquatic plants.
This group of fish, shrimp, crabs, and shellfish attracts other fish, shrimp, crabs, and shellfish, which is why the sea is so lively.
The White Dragon emerged from the water.
Telingewei asked, "What's going on down there?"
White Dragon: "Lots of marine life are foraging; our Demonic Sea Urchin and One-Bone Fish have caught some scraps."
Telingewei: "Can we still harvest waterweed seeds?"
White Dragon: "We can collect a little bit, but it's not very meaningful."
Telingewei reached out and pulled him ashore. "Rest for a bit."
The Tata Fish didn't understand why they liked to eat small, hard grass seeds, and they weren't interested in the seeds at all.
After telling them, I went to swim to the side and play.
Xie Juanhan transformed back into human form, summoned fresh water to wash away the salt from his body, and instructed the furry creatures, "The seawater is a bit cold today, so don't go into the water."
The furry creatures and the Tata Fish all cried out in unison, "Aww!"
Harper and the others had climbed onto Tata Fish and were being carried around the sea at high speed.
They were like passengers on a speedboat, a fully automatic one at that, already sailing off against the wind and waves.
Even Moli and Nibote were carried away by the Tata Fish.
Xie Juanhan watched their retreating figures and shook his head. "Well, it's just the two of us left."
Telingewei: "A little quieter is just right."
The little ones went off to play, while the others stayed behind to check on the farmed Demonic Oyster, Demonic Sea Urchin, and One-Bone Fish.
Recently, there has been a surge in marine life attracted by the seaweed seeds. Demonic Oyster, Demonic Sea Urchin, and One-Bone Fish have plenty of food and are growing very well, looking exceptionally plump.
Xie Juanhan held up Demonic Oyster bigger than his palm. "Let's collect more Demonic Oyster today, and grill Demonic Oyster for dinner tonight."
Telingewei: "Still want some raw marinated One-Bone Fish?"
Xie Juanhan: "Eat! Perfect timing, bring out some mead to go with it."
As they chatted, Xie Juanhan looked into the distance and said, "It's good that the ecosystem here is functioning properly. When we go back, the Tata Fish won't lack food."
Telingewei nodded.
The Tata Fish have been trading their milk for food, but if one of their food sources is lost, they may still go hungry.
Wild Demonic Beast struggle to get enough to eat, and even the most powerful Demonic Beast are no exception.
Xie Juanhan and the others didn't say it aloud, they were actually a little worried. Would the Tata Fish go hungry again after they left?
It would be wonderful if their breeding base could become a private canteen for the Tata Fish.
The two dragons chatted quietly, and Xie Juanhan was slightly on edge because he was suspected of talking about the Tata Fish behind their backs.
What you fear most is what happens.
Just as Xie Juanhan mentioned the Tata Fish again, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Lord White Dragon Dragon--"
Xie Juanhan immediately jumped up and looked up, only to find that it wasn't the Tata Fish that had come, but the Dwarf.
The Dwarf rode over on Sylvan's giant eagle, calling out from afar, "Lord White Dragon, the magic circle is repaired!"
Xie Juanhan: "What?!"
Xie Juanhan suddenly stood up. "Really?"
The Dwarf: "Yes! Putting the last rune on will fix it! Do you want to go and put the last rune on?"
Xie Juanhan: "Yes!"
Xie Juanhan immediately called to the furry creatures, "Harper, you guys play here, we're going to the Kaonielin Plain to check out the teleportation array!"
The Tata Fish speedboat, carrying the furry creatures, suddenly rushed back. "Awooo!"
Xie Juanhan couldn't contain his excitement. "The teleportation array is almost fixed!"
Harper and the others immediately chirped, "Chirp!"
Moli and Nibote, not to be outdone, scoffed.
The Tata Fish swam around in the sea, looking a little disappointed.
Telingewei lowered his eyes and looked at them, his intimidating eyes filled with thoughtful consideration.
This guy was clearly considering whether to transform into his largest form and carry this bunch of Tata Fish directly to the Kaonielin Plain.
Xie Juanhan reached out and patted Telingewei on the back. "Don't even think about it. The Tata Fish are so big; if they stay out of the water for too long, their skin will get crushed!"
Telingewei had no choice but to abandon the idea. "Hmm."
Xie Juanhan turned to the great Griffin: "Nibote, you have the best sense of direction. You and Moli carry Harper and the others, leading the Tata Fish upstream from the estuary in the Kaonielin Plain to the teleportation array. It's not far from there."
The Tata Fish hadn't expected them to be involved, their faces lighting up with excitement. "Click?!"
Xie Juanhan squatted down and quickly touched the soft, raised forehead of a Tata Fish: "You haven't been to the Kaonielin Plain yet, have you? Let Nibote take you there."
The Tata Fish under his hand nudged his hand with its forehead and excitedly cried out, "Click click click!"
Xie Juanhan quickly arranged everything and even handed Moli a rune template to use as a guide, which Moli then carried in his mouth.
If they get lost, Moli and the others can find them using the rune template.
