ferrous-level magical beast

Ocean World, not far from the original Fishman tribe.

Lao Tan Pickled Vegetables was anxiously waiting for something when a fish swam leisurely by his side.

It locked eyes with Lao Tan Pickled Vegetables,

And in an instant, Lao Tan Pickled Vegetables grabbed it, killed it, and put it into his backpack.

Experience +0.1, Fish Meat +1.

The greatest benefit of the Ocean World is that it solves the food problem for players.

Before this, players could only buy bread from shops to eat.

Over time, eating only bread can become boring.

Now, with the emergence of the Ocean World, players can experience a seafood feast.

Stir-fried, steamed, braised...

Various lobsters, abalones, tunas, oysters, and other seafood similar to those on Blue Star have been named by players.

And these seafood can also be sold to shops, although for a lesser amount of money.

But for some newcomers, it is still very cost-effective and considered an additional source of income. So now many players come to the ocean to fish every morning.

However, black iron-level fish are not included in this, as currently, Su Tongxin is the only black iron-level player.

So black iron-level fish cannot be caught yet.

But one lucky player picked up a piece of meat during a fight between two black iron-level fish. Because it was small, he couldn't sell it for much.

So he grilled and ate it himself. He said the delicious taste was unlike anything he had ever tasted in his life.

And according to him, after eating the fish meat, his strength seemed to have increased, but the increase was too small to show up on his attribute panel.

Nevertheless, this has excited the players.

But Lao Tan Pickled Vegetables was not here specifically to fish. He had other important matters to attend to.

Suddenly, a Fishman appeared not far away.

This Fishman was Gugu.

Although Gugu could come ashore, he needed to soak in water at least twice a day. So Lao Tan Pickled Vegetables simply left him in the Ocean World to help collect resources.

But now he was dragging a strange creature over.

This strange creature had a round body, short limbs, but its mouth was particularly large, indicating that it could eat quickly.

Seeing Gugu approaching, Lao Tan Pickled Vegetables hurried over.

"Is this the sea pig you mentioned? Will that creature like to eat it?" Lao Tan Pickled Vegetables pointed at the strange creature that Gugu was dragging and asked curiously.

Gugu, sensing his master's doubts, kicked the bound sea pig with his foot and said firmly, "Master, don't judge it by its ugliness. Its meat is delicious, and those magical beasts love to eat it. We used to raise these sea pigs in our tribe to appease the powerful magical beasts around us.

When the tribe was in trouble, they all ran away, and this one was the only one I managed to catch."

Lao Tan Pickled Vegetables seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. This plan must succeed. I have put all my resources into it."

It turned out that just yesterday, Lao Tan Pickled Vegetables had reached level 10 and activated the magic book for becoming a Necromancer in the temple.

However, after activation, he discovered that the Necromancer class had a unique characteristic.

To advance to the Black Iron rank, one needed to create a companion undead to successfully advance.

Moreover, this companion undead could continuously assist him, take damage for him, and even level up like a player, unlike other temporarily controlled undead that disappeared after a while.

Of course, if he wanted to create his first companion undead, ordinary creatures would suffice, but such undead would not be very strong in combat.

The previous Necromancer had used the wrong method to advance and did not have a companion undead to assist him.

He had relied solely on the power of a Silver-rank Knight Lord to barely transition.

As a result, he periodically fell into deep sleep, and it was only through Zhou Heng's divine calculations that the current advancement path was discovered.

Now, Lao Tan Pickled Vegetables was searching for a powerful creature to become his companion undead.

Lao Tan Pickled Vegetables and Gugu, both man and fish, dragged the sea pig towards a deep sea gorge.

However, Gugu still seemed afraid and said, "Master, are you sure you want to challenge that demon? Maybe we should choose another one!"

You should know that it has devoured many of our tribe members over the years. Whenever our shaman came out, it immediately fled.

But when the shaman left, it would seize the opportunity to devour our tribe members who went out. Because the shaman couldn't stay away from the totem pole for long, this monster always stayed near us, using our fishmen as food.

These sea pigs were specially raised as food for it. We would throw one down every month, and it would leave us alone.

Lao Tan Pickled Vegetables sneered a bit after hearing this: "That was before we players arrived. Now, it's just material for my advancement."

Gugu nodded in agreement upon hearing this. These so-called players, although low-level, never seemed to die. He had seen his master die several times.

He had wanted to flee, but the slave mark was still there, and his master always came back after a while. That's why their tribe had failed in the end. He had now given up on the idea of revenge.

Facing an opponent that couldn't be killed was the most despairing thing. Although they were strange at times, they always came back.

However, he would make sure to stay far away during the battle. He didn't have the players' ability to come back to life.

Soon, they arrived at the top of the gorge.

Lao Tan Pickled Vegetables signaled to Gugu to pry open the sea pig's mouth.

Gugu struggled to pry open the sea pig's mouth, which was bound by seaweed, and a foul stench hit them. The sea pig was an omnivore and ate anything. Then, Lao Tan Pickled Vegetables took out a large bucket of pink potion from his spatial backpack.

He poured the potion into the sea pig's mouth, spilling a little in the process, which immediately dyed the surrounding water pink.

After pouring it all in, he used waterweed to block its throat, preventing the potion from leaking out.

However, Gugu's eyes were starting to look strange at this point, so Lao Tan Pickled Vegetables quickly worked with him to throw the sea pig, now filled with potion, down into the gorge.

Gugu even shouted a fishman phrase: "Dinner's ready!"

Suddenly, a deep abyssal mouth emerged from the gorge and swallowed the sea pig in one bite,Satisfied, (he/she/it) returned to the deep valley.

This was the feared Abyssal Giant Snake that Gugu had mentioned. Lao Tan Pickled Vegetables used his Detection skill to obtain its data.

Just as Gugu had said, poisoning it would be useless, but Lao Tan Pickled Vegetables had prepared for this.

However, there was still one more thing to handle...
