Chapter 39 Speed is greater than everything
"ah!"
A soft moan reached Su Jin's ears, and he realized that he was still holding Shen Ruying.
He was too excited just now, enjoying the thrill of speeding, and forgot about the crew's feelings, accidentally hitting the young woman.
He was about to say something when he saw Shen Ruying blush and raise her head, making a shushing gesture at him, while her gaze kept glancing at Shen Qiaoqiao on the other side.
Su Jin understood immediately, silently withdrawing his hand from the young woman's waist without saying anything more.
But the next second, he felt an itch on his neck and touched it with his hand.
Hmm... it's wet.
Considering Shen Ruying's behavior just now, it's no surprise that he'll have a hickey on his neck.
Shen Ruying obviously realized this as well, and when she looked up, her pretty face immediately turned red.
She bit her lip lightly, gave Su Jin an apologetic look, and then pulled his collar up a little to cover up the masterpiece she had left behind.
Then, she patted her chest lightly and said resentfully:
"I was almost scared to death just now, my heart nearly jumped out of my chest. By the way... why was the ship going so fast just now?"
Shen Qiaoqiao had recovered by then. The little girl was clearly quite adaptable and had even guessed what was going on.
"I know, it's because of the golden fish's tail. The uncle just made it disappear; he must have added it to the boat."
"Smart." Su Jin didn't hold back his praise. Although it wasn't hard to guess, it wasn't a big deal to coax a child.
"This is a skill granted by the golden sturgeon's tail fin, called Golden Dash. It can significantly increase the ship's speed for a short period of time. How about that, impressive, right?"
The little girl nodded excitedly, her eyes shining:
"That's amazing! It makes the ship as fast as a fish. We won't be afraid of sea monsters anymore. If we can't beat them, we can always run away, right?"
Shen Ruying also smiled and echoed:
"Yes, most common sea creatures are not good at speed, because they not only have to hunt for food, but also have to deal with other sea creatures."
"They are both hunters and prey. Once the two sea beasts fight, it's either you die or I live."
"The defeated sea monster will become someone else's food. Their bloodlust prevents them from running away. Speed is not very useful to them; what they need more is attack power and defense."
Su Jin nodded and added:
"That's right, only these two things can keep them alive. Food can be found again if it runs away, but once they lose their lives, they're gone forever."
But they are different. Humans are rational animals and won't fight desperately all at once. If they can't win, they'll run away.
Therefore, speed is what they need most, and defense is the next most important factor.
In terms of defense, Su Jin's ship is actually quite weak at the moment.
The entire ship was made of wood, and powerful sea monsters could easily damage it.
Thinking about this gave Su Jin a headache; he needed to find a way to improve the ship's defenses.
But now is not the time to think about that; he hasn't forgotten the important business he's on this trip.
Li Yuanyuan is still waiting for him to rescue her; I wonder how this adorable girl is doing now.
He sat up straight again, glanced at Shen Ruying beside him, and felt a sense of relief when he saw that the young woman was still carefully storing the dead golden sturgeon carcass and cleaning up the bloodstains.
Seeing him looking over, Shen Ruying explained earnestly:
"Brother Su, we must not let our guard down. The blood of the golden sturgeon is very sensitive to sea beasts. They will leave their territory to chase after it if they can smell it from afar."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but mutter something under her breath:
"Honestly, they couldn't even be more careful when killing fish. Fish blood is quite useful, you know. It's flowing everywhere, and it's even seeped into the fish tank. Sigh..."
Although she was sighing, her hands didn't stop moving; she was busy cleaning up the mess left by Su Jin.
Su Jin waited patiently for a while until the young woman finished and sat down before he started pedaling again.
During this time, he glanced into the guiding star torch and found that there wasn't much Thunderfish Oil left.
Su Jin's heart sank; it seemed he needed to speed up even more.
He had to get Li Yuanyuan onto the boat before the Thunderfish Oil ran out, and then return to this tranquil shallow bay, otherwise it would be dangerous for them to drift on the open sea.
The 10-minute cooldown was quickly completed, and he immediately activated Golden Sprint to make up for the lost time.
Although he wasted a little time on the Tranquil Bend, the boost from the Golden Sprint made that wasted time negligible.
Once every 10 minutes, as soon as the cooldown for Golden Dash is over, Su Jin immediately uses it.
He then discovered that this skill was even more effective than the one he had used before.
In this stormy weather, his boat's speed was reduced by almost fifty percent compared to his usual speed.
However, once the Golden Dash skill was activated, the effects of the storm vanished instantly, and the bonuses it provided were completely unaffected.
With this increase and decrease, the Golden Sprint performs much better during storms than usual.
It was so miraculous that it could eliminate the effects of the storm that Su Jin couldn't help but marvel at how lucky he had gotten.
Even this was just the initial benefit; the rest of the golden sturgeon's body was still in the hold, its belly full of roe, indicating it hadn't yet produced any eggs.
He recalled that sturgeon become tough after giving birth, as they dedicate almost all their nutrients to their roe.
Of course, its fish roe is also the most delicious and essential part.
Su Jin was looking forward to the improvements the golden sturgeon would bring to his body. In addition, he was also eager to taste the flavor of this rare Tier 2 marine creature.
However, this golden sturgeon can only reach its full potential if it is handled by the culinary master, Li Yuanyuan; otherwise, it would be a waste.
Therefore, the most urgent task is to rescue this adorable girl.
While Su Jin was advancing at full speed, on the other side, Li Yuanyuan was almost frozen solid.
At this moment, the adorable girl is on the tallest and largest tree closest to the beach.
The reason she wasn't in the Water Curtain Cave was because a storm had caused the water level in the pool to rise so high that it flooded the cave.
Left with no other choice, she went outside, only to find that the giant crystal crab had actually come ashore.
No, actually there was more than one, there were several, and they were everywhere on the beach.
Deep in the forest, animals were howling. She even saw a wild boar run desperately toward the beach, only to be eaten as a snack by a giant crystal crab.
With almost no way to escape, she could only gamble by climbing the tree and hoping that the crystal crabs wouldn't find her.
Fortunately, the sea creatures didn't seem to raise their heads or venture deep into the water; they simply stayed on the beach.
Under her frightened gaze, these guys actually started babbling at the little crabs.
Large numbers of small crabs crawled towards the sea or into the depths of the island; some, perhaps lost, even climbed up trees.
A few of them landed at her feet, which startled her so much that she quickly kicked them off. Luckily, they didn't attract their mother's attention.
However, her current situation is not much better. It is not easy to stay in the tree. The wind is very strong, and she has to hug the tree trunk with both arms.
By this time, she had very little strength left, and she was very cold; she was about to collapse...
Just then, a bright purple light appeared at the edge of her vision.
