Beast Taming: I Can Bestow Entries-Chapter 258 - 249: Electronic Pet, Surfing Otter_2

Perhaps it was the aroma of food that attracted it unconsciously, but upon seeing the massive Isolated Island Spirit, it didn’t dare approach easily.

The Isolated Island Spirit turned its body to the side, and in a blink of an eye, it was in front of the surfing otter, eyes meeting eyes.

"Ta!" (I’m super fierce!)

Feeling the gaze of the Isolated Island Spirit, the surfing otter jumped out of the water, its feet on the white foam, with both palms raised high, baring its teeth and grimacing, while emitting what sounded to Chen Mo like a ferociously cute noise.

A common low-level move called Intimidation.

To make oneself look very fierce, boosting one’s own momentum, thereby having the effect of driving enemies away.

The surfing otter in front was only at Transcendent 3-tier level, so using "Intimidation" on the Isolated Island Spirit was not only ineffective but also made the Isolated Island Spirit find it adorable.

"Wu—"

Xinghai spit out a bubble somewhat speechlessly, and the resulting wave almost slapped the surfing otter into the water.

As the Isolated Island Spirit drew closer, the surfing otter trembled, knowing there was absolutely no chance of escaping in the face of this gigantic being!

Indeed, one should not venture into dangerous places for the sake of gourmet food.

"Don’t be afraid, we won’t hurt you."

Seeing the surfing otter’s scared look, Chen Mo didn’t let the Isolated Island Spirit get any closer, but instead took a grilled fish from the nearby barbecue grill, had Xinghai wrap it in a bubble, and then floated it over to the surfing otter with the surging waves.

"Ta!"

The surfing otter didn’t immediately start eating, but after feeling Chen Mo’s and the Isolated Island Spirit’s goodwill, it was no longer as frightened.

"Ta?" (Can I eat this?) freёwebnoѵel.com

After a while, the surfing otter asked timidly.

It couldn’t resist the aroma of the grilled fish.

"Of course, this food was prepared for you in the first place."

Chen Mo answered with a smile.

"Ta!"

The surfing otter paused for a moment, then took a big bite of the grilled fish and then showed a look of pleasure.

This was the tastiest sea fish it had ever had! The taste was extremely fresh, without a hint of fishiness!

"Ya?"

Only after finishing the grilled fish did it suddenly realize that this human could communicate with it without any barriers!

"Ta!" (Thank you!)

The surfing otter bowed to Chen Mo to express its thanks and then dived into the water and disappeared from sight.

Chen Mo smiled and didn’t mind.

He simply found the surfing otter cute, so he gave it some food.

If it were sea snakes or turtles, other kinds of Spiritual Beasts, there would be no such deal.

He liked the furry ones.

To Chen Mo’s surprise, about 2 minutes later, a small wave appeared beside the Isolated Island Spirit, and then a flat and wide little head emerged.

It was the surfing otter from before, now with two sea fish in its mouth. It shook its head lightly, and the fish landed accurately at Chen Mo’s feet.

"Do you want me to help you grill these fish?"

Chen Mo found it amusing, so he asked.

This surfing otter seemed to have quite a bold spirit.

"Ta!" (This is food for you!)

The surfing otter shook its head, speaking out.

"Thank you."

Chen Mo was somewhat amused.

This surfing otter... seemed to have principles.

After offering the fish, it dived into the water again, and two minutes later, it poked its head out again, with two more sea fish in its mouth.

"Ta?" (May I come up?)

"Come on up!"

"Ta?" (Can you teach me the skill to make fish this delicious?)

Enjoying a temporary delicacy is not as good as learning to make it.

The surfing otter clearly understood this.

"There’s no need to learn, you just have to grill the fish over the fire, then sprinkle the seasonings evenly, that’s all."

Chen Mo answered, then picked up the fish that the surfing otter had just brought up and simply processed them before placing them on the grill.

The grilled fish he had given the surfing otter before was just basic, not even considered a rare delicacy, and wasn’t enhanced by the magical power of the Food Spirit. Unexpectedly, it was already a rare treat for the surfing otter.

If it tasted the food made by Tuantuan, this surfing otter might be so happy that it would faint.

"That should do it."

Chen Mo demonstrated simply.

"Do you want to try?"

"Ta?" (I... can I?)

The slightly portly surfing otter hesitated, but still imitated Chen Mo’s actions and began to grill the fish skillfully.

Soon, the grilled fish in its hand started to emit an enticing aroma.

It couldn’t wait to take a bite.

Delicious!

"Ta!"

The surfing otter’s expression was one of disbelief, the process of making delicious fish was so simple!

"Ta!" (Thank you!)

After expressing its thanks and enjoying the grilled fish, the surfing otter leaped back into the sea.

"Without fire, there’s no way to grill fish, eh."

As the surfing otter’s figure vanished into the water, Chen Mo muttered to himself.

However, what he didn’t expect was that, merely 5 minutes later, more otters began to appear one after another around him, holding fish in their mouths and looking eagerly at Chen Mo.

"Ta?"

"Ta?"

"Ta!?"

...

The calls of the surfing otters rose and fell in succession. It turned out that the surfing otter from before had shared the news of this super delicious food with its nearby friends and relatives, calling them to come and enjoy a "barbecue buffet."

Chen Mo found these surfing otters amusing, so he didn’t refuse.

And each surfing otter that came would bow slightly to Chen Mo and his Spiritual Beast out of respect.

They often brought more than one fish, and they would give Chen Mo half of the fish or other sea creatures they carried as a fee for using the grill.

They may be lazy, but they certainly have their principles!

In less than an hour, the area around the Isolated Island Spirit was surrounded by dozens of surfing otters, forming a rather large surfing otter family.

Good food indeed is the best way to bridge the gap between humans and beasts.

This trip... seemed to have become more lively.

--------------------

About two hours later.

Chen Mo arrived at his own little island - Purple Coral Island.

This was a small island with an area of only about 10,000 square meters. When it was under the jurisdiction of the Silver Dragon Palace, it mainly cultivated the Purple Crystal Coral and Ice Sea Grass plants.

Both of these plants are rare Spirit Plants and have a certain chance of breeding plant-type Spiritual Beasts, bringing considerable profit to the Silver Dragon Palace each year.

However, when Chen Mo landed on the island, he found it completely deserted!

There used to be around 120 residents responsible for cultivating these two types of Spirit Plants, but after Purple Coral Island was ceded, they were taken away by the people from the Silver Dragon Palace.

To the people of the Silver Dragon Palace, these individuals were also a considerable asset.

As for the Spirit Plants on the island, they were not taken.

Most of these Spirit Plants were still in their juvenile or growing stages, and their actual value was not high.

Moreover, they worried that taking too much would anger the manager deployed by Initial City to this island, which would be counterproductive.

"That’s troublesome."

Upon seeing this, Chen Mo felt somewhat of a headache.

He had originally planned to find a proxy manager and then let the island’s residents continue to help cultivate the Spirit Plants, paying them an annual salary.

But he didn’t expect the Silver Dragon Palace to pull the rug out from under him so completely.

It wouldn’t be easy to find a Spirit Master with cultivation experience in Initial City, and that would inevitably be a significant expense. (Ordinary residents, except under special circumstances, must not leave Initial City; only Spirit Masters can be recruited.)

But if he completely neglected this small island, then these Spirit Plant resources would be wasted.

"What should I do?"

"Wu!"

At this moment, Xiao Jiu, perched on Chen Mo’s shoulder, nuzzled his cheek and gestured towards the direction of the surfing otters.

"Xiao Jiu, you’re really smart!"

Chen Mo praised as the realization hit him.

Cultivating and growing the Purple Crystal Coral and Ice Sea Grass didn’t necessarily require humans; Spiritual Beasts, like the surfing otters in front of him, would be very suitable!
