Challenge mission: Monsters in the Barents Sea
…
The fish was cut in half crosswise, and the middle section was the backbone of the fish.
Fish spinal cord was also part of the liquid that can be drunk directly, but not much, which was better than nothing.
At Ke Ji’s polite refusal, Lu Liran broke open two sections of the fish, got closer and sucked it all in one gulp.
The crystalline translucent fish was sliced into pieces of equal thickness.
Fire coral fish has almost no bones, only the main bone spur on the spine, which was convenient and delicious.
After the two shared a piece of fish, they continued to lie back on the bamboo raft contentedly and drifted with the current.
Lu Liran brought the coconut that he had eaten earlier, dug and pounded it with his dagger, smashing up some of the old coconut meat attached to the coconut shell, and squeezed out a small amount of coconut oil.
He took a handful and smeared it on his and Ke Ji’s bodies and faces, all over their bodies.
“As I said before, coconut oil can prevent skin inflammation and itching caused by this level of sun exposure and sea water immersion.” Lu Liran said.
When his fingers brushed his cheek, Lu Liran discovered that his face was dry and peeling.
He frowned slightly and wiped some more on his face.
“I once heard the story of a pair of people who were rescued in a shipwreck.” Lu Liran said.
“It was a newlywed couple whose boat was capsized by a huge Meyer one-horned whale, and they have to escape into a lifeboat and float out to sea.”
As he spoke, he lay down in the shade of the sail.
The coconut leaves on the boat were all wet from the ups and downs of the waves. He simply used those leaves to cover himself to avoid the direct sun.
He continued: “The newlyweds drifted at sea for a full month and a half before they were rescued. They lived by eating seabirds, fish and oysters. Except that the environment on the boat was better than ours, other conditions were extremely difficult.”
“When they were found, their clothes were in tatters, their bodies were covered with red sores and their skin was ulcerated, but at least they survived.”
[God, it hurts to hear it]
[How long will it take to maintain this back…]
[It will leave a scar, it can’t go back right? Definitely]
[Life worse than death…]
[Come on, you still care about this if you can survive?]
Lu Liran looked at the barrage in the live broadcast room and nodded slightly: “That’s the way it goes. But if you can get coconuts on hand, don’t waste the coconut oil in them, it’s better to make yourself feel better.”
He half-squinted his eyes to avoid the sun and said to the live broadcast room:
“Drifting for a month and a half was really a terrible disaster, and it was also a great test of humanity and emotions. However, they persisted. I think going through such an experience together was also an emotional sublimation.”
Ke Ji nodded thoughtfully when he heard the words: “You said before that every survivor must have faith in his heart to support them. For this newlywed couple, maybe it was because of this kind of love and never giving up that they persisted until the end.”
Lu Liran responded. He exhaled softly and nodded slightly: “Maybe. The Barents Sea is a very vast sea area, stretching as far as the eye can see. It will undoubtedly be a great test of the will of the survivors drifting on the sea.”
The drone’s lens changed to Lu Liran’s perspective at the moment——

“It’s too hot.” Lu Liran lay on the bamboo raft for a while and then turned over again. He looked at Ke Ji and didn’t know how tolerant the other person was. He didn’t complain at all, and couldn’t help but ask, “Don’t you feel hot?”
Ke Ji tilted his head and looked at Lu Liran while lying on the bamboo raft. His steel-blue pupils narrowed slightly because the sun was too dazzling.
He smiled and said: “It’s not bad. Maybe we have the same mentality as the newlyweds.”
Lu Liran didn’t react for a moment and subconsciously said “Oh”. It took him two seconds to realize what violent words the other party had said.
Him: !!!
[The mentality of newlyweds? Damn it!!! Playing hooligan!!! Big brother will be the first to not allow it!! @#￥%……&]
[Beauty has such a mouth aaahhh, can it be more straightforward?!]
[There is no way, it is more difficult to conquer the anchor]
[Indeed √ If you are less straightforward, the anchor may not hear it, if you are more straightforward it will be greasy]
[Looking at it this way, I suddenly feel that the Beauty is so difficult, hahahahahahaha]
[Beautiful O and steely straight man A, tsk tsk, I don’t think it will work. Sooner or later the Beauty will unable to bear it and run away, and then comes the chase his wife in the crematorium]
[Impossible, looking at the Beauty licking like this, I guess he will licked until the end and have everything he wants]
Lu Liran unnaturally ignored the commander’s words. He turned to the live broadcast room, then he coughed dryly and said: “It’s too hot. It deserves physical cooling.”
“At noon like this, you can jump into the sea and take a swim to cool off.”
As he spoke, he plopped directly into the sea without any hesitation.
Jump into the sea to calm down.
What a newlywed couple.
So exciting.
He also has this vague shame of being taken advantage of for nothing.
Lu Liran swam around in the water before emerging. As soon as he emerged, he saw Ke Ji raising his upper body, propping his chin and looking over with a smile.
“Knock, knock, is the mermaid at home?” Ke Ji tapped his index finger on the bamboo raft.
Lu Liran: “…”
“Yes, it’s KingKong Piranha.” He tried to keep a straight face in response to the commander’s teasing.
Ke Ji was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect Lu Liran to answer him like this. He burst into laughter, and finally fell down on the bamboo raft with laughter. His chest fluctuated greatly, and Lu Liran’s smile turned from blushing to embarrassment, and finally he grabbed a handful of water and threw it at him.
“If the King Kong Piranha was that cute, I would be willing to throw myself into it.” Ke Ji had water splashed on his face, but he was still smiling, at least he stopped laughing.
Lu Liran snorted.
He turned over and plunged back into the water, swimming happily around the bamboo raft for two rounds.
The sun was just right at the moment, shining brightly under the water. At a glance, one can see more than ten meters underwater, and it was so clear that the bottom could be seen clearly.
Surrounded by the same small fish we saw before, there were small groups, mostly small whitebait, and occasionally a small cluster of colorful fish. They were not afraid of people. It was probably because no one came to this water area, so he just swam around Lu Liran.
Lu Liran was delighted when he saw this, so he swam with these small fishes for a while.
Not long after swimming, those small fish suddenly seemed to have received some signal and dispersed in a rush. They swam so fast and urgently that they were all gone in the blink of an eye.
In the vast expanse of blue water, Lu Liran was left alone in the empty water, with small wisps of suspended objects floating around him.
Lu Liran felt uneasy, thinking there was a monster out of the ordinary. He quickly surfaced from the water and looked around.
“What’s wrong?” Ke Ji asked.
Lu Liran pursed his lips, supported the bamboo raft with both hands, he turned over vigorously. He exhaled and said: “The fish suddenly ran away, as if they were frightened.”
Ke Ji frowned when he heard this.
The sky was still sunny at the moment, and there was no sign of rain. These small fish probably hid in the deep sea because they were inspired by the storm.
That leaves only one possibility.
Lu Liran and Ke Ji looked at each other: “Some big guys are out looking for food.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the boat beneath him shook violently, as if it had been bumped. Lu Liran almost lost his footing and was about to fall, but Ke Ji pulled him back to the center.
Lu Liran hurriedly looked under the water and saw a dark shadow passing under the boat.
He took a breath: “It’s not small.”
His catamaran was already big enough, at least a couple times bigger than the common sword tiger fish in these waters, and that was something he took into account; usually sword tiger fish wouldn’t attack something bigger than themselves.
And now the thing that hit the boat was probably as big as the boat.
Lu Liran’s pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately controlled the drone to fly underwater.
The audience in the live broadcast room followed the drone’s field of view and dived underwater, as if they were diving under the sea.
Surrounded by deep and quiet sea water, it seemed like nothing can be seen at first glance, and at the same time, there seemed to be something. They don’t know if they will see something more shocking the next second, it’s extremely exciting.
[Ah ah ah, Brother Lu, just be a human being!! How can you take advantage of us!! Wuwuwuwu-ooh, I’m so scared, help me, I don’t dare to look, I don’t dare to look!]
[Exciting! Where else can you have an experience like this on another live broadcast? It’s so exciting!]
[Wu-huh! I think I saw something!!]
[Where is it? Where is it?]
Lu Liran was also staring at the live broadcast room, adjusting the position of the drone.
It was unknown if that thing just came over to say hello out of curiosity and then left, or if it was hiding and waiting for an opportunity to attack them.
Lu Liran felt uneasy and frowned: “Maybe it was caused by the fish’s blood just now…”
Before he finished speaking, the drone’s camera turned and faced a bloody mouth, rushing straight towards it.
Lu Liran took a breath, and the drone rushed out of the sea in a hurry, dripping water in mid-air, and looked embarrassed and pitiful as it fled.
[Fuck, aaahhhhh, scared me to death!]
[I’m in class TAT. I was so scared that I jumped out of my seat and was called out by the professor TAT]
[What the hell is that!!]
Lu Liran didn’t see it clearly, but the densely packed fangs must be one of the big guys in the ocean who can run amok.
Within two seconds, an inverted triangle-like gray-green fin rose little by little from the sea not far away. It was like the triangular sail of a sailboat half-way through the waves, swimming towards Lu Liran’s boat at a slow speed.
When Lu Liran saw the fin, he secretly cursed: “Hammerhead Gray Whale Shark!”
The hammerhead gray whale shark is not very aggressive, but it can detect the smell of blood better than any other shark. According to science, ordinary sharks can smell the scent of blood and flesh in the water with a concentration of one in a million, but the hammerhead gray whale shark is twice as strong as this.
When Lu Liran saw it, he knew it must be following the scent of the fire coral fish from before.
If it were any other shark, perhaps it wouldn’t be attracted by the smell of such fish’s blood, but who knew that there was actually a hungry hammerhead gray whale shark wandering in the nearby waters?!
Lu Liran’s scalp was numb, he tightened his grip on Ke Ji’s hand, and whispered: “Don’t fall off.”
The gray whale shark wandered around the boat, its long and powerful tail sweeping across the bottom of the boat from time to time, causing the boat to sway.
Lu Liran followed the direction of the fin and stared closely at the movements of the gray whale shark. He couldn’t help but exclaim: “Look! It’s right here!”
The drone followed closely, and the gray-green fish skin surfaced and dived from time to time. Occasionally, the spindle-like head surfaced. Its pair of fish eyes were cold and ruthless, showing no trace of warmth.
Lu Liran’s heartbeat was very fast, and he leaned nervously on the bamboo raft: “You can see the fins of the fish, at least you don’t have to be afraid, if it suddenly sinks…”
As soon as he said this, he saw the fin of the triangular fish that was originally high on the sea suddenly dropped down and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Lu Liran’s words suddenly stopped.
[Missing? Ran?]
[Did you turn around a few times and think there was nothing to eat?]
Lu Liran’s expression changed drastically: “Damn it!”
He sprang to his feet, then changed his crouching to a sitting position, and clung to the sail.
The next second, a huge impact force hit directly from the other side of the catamaran, directly flipping the raft upside down!
Lu Liran and Ke Ji both fell into the water.
Lu Liran quickly emerged from the water and looked around nervously.
At the same time, the system’s dirty prompt suddenly sounded in my mind: “Host, Host, a challenge mission has been detected! The mission rewards are particularly rich! The price-performance ratio is extremely high! Here you go!”
“Host Lu Liran has accepted the challenge mission. Please read the mission details carefully.”
