Adventurer of the Elven World

Chapter 843

After staying for a while, Xiu found that the observation was indeed very difficult, because his underwater activities were restricted by various conditions, while those water elves were able to swim freely.

However, after diving down to observe for a while, Xiu also figured out some things.

That is, as Dr. Oki said, these elves in the water generally do not have a high IQ, and basically act according to instinct.

And when they were in the water, most of their attacks were very direct decisions of physical strength, and basically they didn't see any elves using their abilities.

I don't have much emotion about this Xiu, because this fits another characteristic, that is, elves who are particularly capable of giving birth, and most of the fast-growing elves are not smart.

"Gululu~" Xiu who kept going deep into the sea suddenly found a relatively rare love fish in those coral reefs.

That color and shape really stand out in the sea.

The love fish lives up to its name, it looks like a pink heart on the whole, with a pale pink mouth and gills.

But by observing, we can see that they are not cruising in the water like other elves, but stay in the coral reef, even if they move, they are more like swinging their bodies slightly and then drifting in it.

Those sun corals in the coral reefs did not respond much to the love fish, and the two seemed to coexist in a friendly way.

For the caring fish, Xiu actually knew that there was a rather beautiful but cruel incident.

The general love fish looks pink, but in fact the scales cover its body in a nearly transparent state. After the scales dry out of the water, they will turn bone white again, and the transparency will be greatly reduced. Into the water will become transparent again.

But the above are just the properties of ordinary love fish scales.

In fact, some special love fish have colorful scales, like a rainbow with colorful arcs.

If it's just that the brilliance is better, that's it. After all, there are quite a lot of elves in the sea who have all kinds of good-looking but useless products.

But the problem is that the love fish is heart-shaped, and the scales are also heart-shaped. Soon this was noticed by some people, and then they tied the concept of love fish and love to hype.

Just because of the shape, the love fish, which knows nothing in the sea, is labeled as love, claiming that as long as the lovers meet the love fish, they will be together forever.

With the help of good wishes, the concept soon took the world by storm.

But if you think that this is the end of the matter, you underestimate them too much. What happened after this concept became popular is the real purpose of those people.

Because there is another place for ordinary people to see love fish besides those aquariums, which is coral reefs.

When the breeding season comes, a large number of love fish will gather at the coral reef.

I have edited a few old photos, the scene is very spectacular, the whole sea is dyed pink.

The original concept of blessing soon gradually increased and became: "Couples must come and see the love fish, otherwise he/she just doesn't love you."

This directly led to a trend, which drove the economy of many offshore tourist areas. Everyone should come and have a look, especially during the breeding season.

There are more people than fish, and some people even stand on the waves.

Originally, this would not be too much.

But they soon launched a new concept, the colorful scales of the love fish, claiming that this has magical powers, and giving this to a partner will...

Anyway, it's just a lot of bells and whistles.

And this also made the colored scales, which were not cheap at all, soar to a terrifyingly high price in a very short period of time.

Divide different grades by factors such as size and gloss, and then come up with a rating.

But you must know that this kind of colored scales are rare, and none of your tens of thousands of love fishes are colored.

Then the scarcity of raw materials further stimulates the market, and the price of this is an incredible increase every day.

According to the data that Xiu found, when this thing was the most hyped, the worst rated ones cost [-] to [-] yuan, not to mention those top-notch ones with millions or even tens of millions.

Because it is too rare, there are even substitutes, that is, the ordinary scales of love fish without color.

Of course, there are all kinds of messy imitations and fakes. Xiu also discovered in the records that someone processed the scales of the carp king into heart shapes and sold them.

It has to be said that Xiu still underestimated the horror of human beings.

Needless to say, what will happen if this useless thing is raised to such a price, a large number of love fish have been hunted and killed by humans, and the number that was originally stable has dropped to endangered or even threatened with extinction.

Until the alliance and Junsha stepped in to severely crack down on related industries, the industry that had been thriving and advancing suddenly ushered in a cold winter, and I don't know how many people went bankrupt and jumped off the building.

However, the love fish has not recovered to its original level after more than ten years, and the related industries related to colored scales are still operating in the dark.

That's why Xiu felt strange when he saw the love fish.

Xiu originally wanted to get closer to observe it carefully, but he quickly hid in the coral reef, and it was difficult for him to keep up.

In this way, walking along the coast, while training, while observing the elves in the sea to complete the information.

Because most of the time is not used to travel, so it took many days to encounter the first human gathering place.

It seems to be a coastal city, with sandy beaches and docks.

After seeing it, Xiu quickened his pace and entered the city.

Even if you get used to the outdoors, you will feel somewhat uncomfortable after staying for a long time.

Humans have always been social creatures and need to communicate.

And after entering the human gathering place, you can understand the local customs, rest and recover, and replenish consumption.

Another thing is to accept information from the outside world so as not to be isolated from the world.

Xiu looked at the city, and it could be seen from the architecture and the style of clothing of those people that it was an eastern city in the Kanto region.

The ones here are more modernized, and people are more open.

But just like that, Xiu didn't feel much about the steel jungle.

It's just that the newsstand on the side of the road attracted his attention.

"Boss, how much is this one?"

"Three yuan for the newspaper."

Xiu leaned over to pick up a newspaper from the booth, and looked at the big headline "Polluted City" on it.

After a brief look, Xiu smiled and handed over the money to the stall owner.

"Have one."

After the boss took the money, Xiu took the newspaper and chatted with the stall owner.

Soon he got the information he wanted, and left with the newspaper.

Xiao Yuan has already started to do it, which means that the collection of evidence is almost done, but the ones that the reporters can collect are only ordinary and bright, not strong enough.
