Chapter 69 Duck C
Chapter 69 Duck C
Chapter 69 Duck C
Seemingly sensing the presence of a large prey nearby, some longtail lemon sharks suddenly stopped their aimless patrols and turned their pointed heads in unison towards the direction where Yu Wang and Ya B were!
"Quack!!" Duck B also sensed the danger and let out a warning quack.
Fighting more than twenty sharks in a hunting state in the open ocean, even if they are just juveniles, is absolutely suicidal!
"Hey, come back!"
Yu Wang let out a low shout, his body suddenly sinking downwards, retreating back to the cave passage behind him at top speed!
Duck B reacted quickly, flapping its wings and following closely behind.
Almost as soon as they retreated back into the cave, the few young sharks that had sensed something was wrong swung their powerful tails and charged toward the cave entrance!
Their bodies parted the seawater, creating white turbulent currents.
At that moment, Duck B received an order, suddenly stopped, faced the oncoming shark's mouth, gave a sly smile, and solidly pointed the spiky turtle shell shield on its back at the charging shark!
All of this happened in the blink of an eye!
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
The young sharks, rushing forward with such force that they had no time to turn, crashed solidly into the turtle-shell shield covered with sharp protrusions!
The sharp spikes on their shells pierced through their rough skin instantly, embedding themselves deep into their flesh!
The seawater at the cave entrance was instantly dyed red.
Upon seeing this, Yu Wang secretly praised him, "Well done!"
He never expected that his sudden, whimsical order would have such a miraculous effect!
Thinking of Duck C, who was still unsettled, Yu Wang summoned a harpoon from his backpack, aimed at the injured baby sharks struggling near the cave entrance, his arm muscles bulged, and he stabbed the drowning dog with a fierce blow!
The harpoon precisely clamped onto the gills of a young shark that was more than half a meter long. Because of its small size, Yu Wang easily dragged it to his side and stabbed it in the heart with a dagger. The young shark convulsed violently a few times and quickly lost its life.
The spurting blood ignited the ferocity of the other young sharks, who launched a fierce attack!
Meanwhile, on the sea, Zhang Xinlan, who had immediately sailed at full speed to the scene after receiving Yu Wang's message, was on tenterhooks.
Using her Eagle Eye skill, she peered into the distance and spotted the ominous blood mist churning and spreading beneath the sea near the coordinates of Yu Wang's location!
"What a fuss!" Her heart tightened, her palms instantly sweating, and she could only frantically pray that the Little Yellow Duck would go faster and faster!
As the distance closed, but before the water cannon was fully within its effective range to unleash its full power, Zhang Xinlan, anxious and distraught, could no longer afford to worry about anything else!
She rushed to the gun position and fired a shot into the sea!
"boom-!!!"
Even though the water rocket's cohesion and impact were somewhat reduced due to the distance, it still created a huge splash several meters high when it hit the sea surface!
The violent water shockwave spread out in a ring, flipping several young sharks that were originally hovering on the surface of the sea belly up, leaving them dizzy and disoriented!
The violent turbulence on the sea surface was completely beyond the comprehension and coping ability of these juvenile lemon sharks!
The desire to hunt crumbles instantly in the face of the more primal instinct for survival.
The remaining baby sharks thrashed about in panic, their tails swishing as they fled in all directions. They didn't even care about their companions who had been stabbed by the turtle shell and barely managed to break free. Zhang Xinlan lay on the side of the boat, her eyes fixed on the area filled with the smell of blood. Only when she saw Yu Wang and Ya B emerge from the water one after the other did her heart finally settle down, and she breathed a long sigh of relief.
The Little Yellow Duck quickly approached.
Yu Wang and Ya B climbed onto the boat, both covered in seawater and a faint smell of blood.
"Is he alright?" Zhang Xinlan immediately took the healing beans and looked Yu Wang up and down.
"It's nothing, just a small problem, but it was resolved smoothly." Yu Wang wiped his face, looked at the blood-stained turtle shell on Ya B, and showed a satisfied expression. "This little guy has done a great job. Give it some meat to replenish its energy."
Ducks eating fish, no problem.
Zhang Xinlan nodded and immediately took out some fresh fish strips that she had prepared earlier as snacks from the storage box, and handed them to Ya B.
Duck B didn't hold back, skillfully pecking at the food with its flat beak, occasionally letting out a satisfied "quack quack" sound.
Hearing the noise, Duck A also came over to beg for meat.
Meanwhile, Yu Wang had already climbed onto the head of the "Little Yellow Duck".
He brought up the ship's control panel to check the loot breakdown results. He and Duck B had worked together to kill seven baby sharks at the underwater cave entrance, and after dismantling them, they obtained [100 units of shark meat, 10 units of shark skin, and 13 units of fish bones].
The amount of fish meat just meets the summoning requirements!
Without further ado, summon DuckC!
"#¥%@!!"
Zhang Xinlan, who was feeding duck B, turned around in confusion: "What were you muttering about just now? It was too fast, I didn't hear you clearly."
Without batting an eye, Yu Wang solemnly rambled on, "Nothing much, just that the weather is nice today."
Zhang Xinlan: "————"
She silently turned her head away, rolling her eyes inwardly: "I'd be a fool to believe you! There's definitely something 'ga ga' or something in that pronunciation."
However, she also realized that Yu Wang was clearly using the ship's special abilities.
As it happened, she had always been curious about how these clever and capable duck companions were "born," so she climbed onto the top of the boat, stood next to Yu Wang, and watched with bated breath.
As the white light grew brighter and brighter, Yu Wang focused intently, secretly guessing what was going on in his mind:
Previously, using regular fish meat summoned a regular duck, but using turtle meat summoned a shield duck.
This time, shark meat was used as the material. Based on the pattern, the new duck that was summoned should be a formidable character with explosive combat power and full of aggression, right?
Is it a "steel-toothed duck"? The kind that can crush wood in one bite?
Or perhaps a "fierce fish duck"? It's enormous, with clearly defined muscle lines?
At the very least, it should be a super-fast duck? Swimming incredibly fast?
Just as he was secretly wondering what kind of fierce appearance his new companion would have, the white light at the bow of the ship reached its peak!
Yu Wang and Zhang Xinlan curiously peered closer, and in the light, the new duck's silhouette became clearly visible.
However, the ferocious and grotesque appearance that was expected did not appear at all.
Standing there was a duck slightly smaller than duck A, its entire body covered with a layer of bright and soft lemon-yellow down, with only the tips of its wings covered with some colorful feathers.
With its small size, it doesn't look like a duck; at first glance, you might mistake it for a parrot.
"Wow! So cute!" Zhang Xinlan couldn't resist touching and rubbing it!
The attribute panel automatically expands in front of you:
【Name: Lemon Duck】
[Level: 1]
[Type: Summoned Item]
[HP: 100/100]
[Recovery time: 10 days]
[Description: This is a duck with almost no fighting ability, but it's fluffy to the touch and can lay lemon eggs! They're sour and refreshing—you'll know once you try them! (Lemon eggs are invigorating, appetizing, and a good source of Vitamin C; discover more uses for yourself!)]
Yu Wang:
He shared the panel information with Zhang Xinlan.
After reading it, Zhang Xinlan tried hard to keep a straight face, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve upwards. In a serious tone, she said, "Congratulations! We have 'sour eggs' now. Next time we can make lemon chicken or lemon fish, to change things up, get some Vitamin C, and eat healthily."
After joking around, she seriously speculated, "However, could the 'energizing' effect be related to restoring sanity? Or, lemons are said to have detoxifying properties, so could their eggs have a detoxifying effect?"
"Possibly." Yu Wang nodded. If it really could restore sanity and detoxify, then its effects would be enormous.
"Giggle~"
At this moment, the fluffy lemon-yellow duck seemed to have adapted to its environment. It quacked softly twice, then exerted a little force with its body, and with a soft "plop," an oval-shaped egg, also displaying a beautiful lemon-gold color, appeared beneath it.
Zhang Xinlan carefully picked up the egg and curiously weighed it in her hand. "Wow, it really lays eggs—and it's quite heavy. Shall I try the taste?"
Yu Wang nodded in agreement.
Zhang Xinlan quickly used the lemon egg to make a simple fried egg.
The two of them each shared half and tasted it.
It has a smooth and tender texture, and definitely a refreshing lemon flavor. Slightly sour and appetizing, it's very unique and delicious. However—
[The lemon-flavored fried egg tasted excellent and brought a slight sense of joy.]
The panel only displays these prompts.
There were no special effects such as "restoration of sanity" or "detoxification" as expected.
"Is it really only good as a delicious tonic?" Zhang Xinlan asked, somewhat disappointed.
Yu Wang frowned slightly as he looked at the new member who had already become close with Duck A and Duck B, and pondered silently.
Perhaps we could try letting Lemon Duck gravitate towards some evil deity; maybe it will level up like Duck A and lay eggs with beneficial effects.
For example, "Scorching Blaze" drops an egg with fire resistance, while "Mind Eater" drops an egg that allows mind reading.
Wipe the "Shadow Stalker" to lay an egg that makes you invisible.
In short, it has great potential!
"From now on, you can be called Duck C." Yu Wang temporarily suppressed his chaotic thoughts and named the new member first.
"Duck~"
Duck C actually made a sound other than "quack"!
Yu Wang and Zhang Xinlan both widened their eyes at the same time!
"Was it—was it just mimicking your voice?" Zhang Xinlan asked in surprise.
Yu Wang's heart skipped a beat. Was it a coincidence, or did this lemon duck truly possess extraordinary learning and imitation abilities?
He tried again to pronounce it clearly: "Duck C".
"Duck~C~" Duck C tilted its head and tried its best to repeat it. Although the syllables were not accurate, the intention to imitate was extremely obvious!
She's a genius at learning foreign languages!!!
"Xinlan, I have an important task for you!" Yu Wang immediately turned to Zhang Xinlan, his tone filled with excitement.
"Huh? What mission?" Zhang Xinlan was a little confused by his sudden seriousness.
"Teach Duck C to say this."
Yu Wang copied the words on the "Environmental Guardian" badge panel and gave them to Zhang Xinlan.
Zhang Xinlan was both amused and exasperated after reading it, and accepted the challenge.
