Ares's plan was to get Paul to work at Sheng Jiu's shop later.
So, this is a way of offering a ladder, hoping that Sheng Jiu will act like a good person in front of Paul.
Sheng Jiu, understanding the situation, naturally took the opportunity.
Paul rolled his eyes after hearing this.
He was a pirate, not stupid!
But he understood, yet he pretended not to.
Waaah!
Because he was really hungry!
And, he was craving it!
He wondered what they were doing down there, how could it smell so good?
And the food he ate before…
Ugh!
Thinking back on it now, he could still taste the aftertaste.
Compared to that, the nutrient solution and nutrient paste seemed to have no other advantages besides being convenient and quick?
Paul watched longingly, and Sheng Jiu thought for a moment before giving him a small basin of noodles.
Ares was worried: "Don't worry about it for now. I'll go deliver the food to them and feed him when I get back."
Untying him was out of the question!
Paul resigned himself to his fate for the time being.
Ares went and returned quickly.
Then, he simply and roughly fed Paul half a basin of noodles.
Paul hadn't even finished one bite before the next came.
At most, he was struggling to chew.
He wanted to say, "Slow down, even with a big mouth, I can't stuff that much in!"
But he couldn't even speak.
Ares was planning to catch Frosty Water Crabs that afternoon, he didn't have time to waste on Paul.
However, considering he needed Paul to fish for crabs, Ares had to slow down, otherwise he would have just forced the food into his mouth.
Paul: ...
While Ares was feeding Paul, Sheng Jiu quickly tidied herself up.
She changed into comfortable sportswear and even prepared a watermelon knife.
Although it might not be very useful, but it was better than nothing.
Having a weapon in hand always provides a sense of security.
After Paul finished eating (?), Ares carried him, took Sheng Jiu, and went out.
Sheng Jiu looked behind the door at the slightly familiar interstellar era and took a deep breath.
She thought to herself: Interstellar 3.0, she's here!
Sheng Jiu guessed that the Frosty Water Crab should be very large.
Those crab legs are taller than her, isn't it normal for the crab's body to be large?
Could it be a small body with huge legs?
How does it maintain its balance then?
However, when she actually saw the Frosty Water Crab, she was still amazed by the speed of species evolution.
At this time, although they also had crabs like the Giant Claw Crab, the Giant Sand Crab, and the King Crab.
However, those were at most a few dozen jin.
As for the Frosty Water Crab, Sheng Jiu estimated it to be several hundred jin.
The enormous crab bodies gave off an invisible sense of oppression.
Moreover, the Frosty Water Crab itself is extremely cold. Even from a distance, Sheng Jiu could feel a chilling aura wafting from that direction, and it quickly enveloped her entire body.
This made Sheng Jiu instinctively tighten her grip on the doorknob.
If things went wrong, she would run.
However, they were still quite far apart at this point.
After Ares and his team formed a simple formation, they used their mechanical device to transform into the mechanical rods and passed Paul over.
The scent of humans excites the Zerg.
This is what Ares and the others say.
Of course, they no longer call them Zerg.
After all, they're so delicious, calling them Zerg would spoil their appetite.
So, they just call them by their names.
"The Frosty Water Crab's eyesight isn't very good, but its sense of smell is quite good."
"It's extremely sensitive to the scent of humans, and it gets excited very easily after smelling it."
"Its fighting power is strongest when it's excited."
"But its excitement doesn't last long, at most five minutes. We just need to wait for those five minutes to pass, and then it will enter its fatigue phase."
...
Ares kept an eye on the situation with Paul while observing the Frosty Water Crab's movements.
Today they weren't going to cut off its legs, but the whole crab.
After all, crab roe...
It sounds delicious.
He wanted to try it!
Speaking of crabs, Ares thought of the mutated octopus they fought last night: "By the way, we've already chopped off the mutated octopus's legs, but we let the head go. Its legs are regenerative. Let it live for a while, then I'll come back and help you kill it."
Sheng Jiu: ?
For some reason, she suddenly felt a little sorry for the mutated octopus.
But…
If the food is regenerative, it's definitely good news for Sheng Jiu!
So, regeneration is good, regeneration is wonderful!
Let it live!
Sheng Jiu nodded slightly, her gaze fixed on Paul's direction.
The Frosty Water Crab had already noticed Paul, it moved slowly, waving its long legs.
Clearly, it was very wary.
Paul was numb, or rather, resigned.
What else could he do now besides be bait?
Unable to resist, lying down wasn't so bad.
Besides, there was good food.
Recalling the tomato and egg noodles he'd eaten before, Paul thought…
He could be bait, after all.
But conditions had to be clear: he had to eat on time, and he had to be full!
It would be best to change things up a bit.
Because the smell he'd caught earlier wasn't noodles, there must be something else.
Paul thought casually as the Frosty Water Crab slowly approached.
As the distance closed, the Frosty Water Crab wasn't in a hurry to eat its prey.
It circled Paul.
Paul knew this was observation, and also marking.
It didn't matter.
He was the only bait anyway.
If he got eaten, Ares and the others would figure it out themselves.
After circling three times, the Frosty Water Crab finally determined that its prey tasted alright.
Then it began to eat!
It swung its enormous claws!
The crab claws gleamed coldly, and even from a distance, they made one's heart race with unease.
Sheng Jiu's heart jumped, she was truly terrified...
What illegal things had her ingredients eaten?
That would make Sheng Jiu feel that her ingredients were dirty!
However, Ares and the others had been fishing all night and were clearly very experienced.
They moved as soon as the crab claws moved.
They retracted their mechanical rods, creating some distance between Paul and the Frosty Water Crab.
To the people of interstellar, the Zerg certainly possessed intelligence.
But not much.
So, the Frosty Water Crab couldn't understand why its prey, which it had observed and marked, was moving.
Unable to figure it out, it cautiously observed and marked again.
Huh?
Why is the prey moving again?
After following Paul's movements three times, the Frosty Water Crab sensed something was wrong.
Danger made it instinctively turn and retreat.
But Ares and the others were prepared.
They had even laid the traps beforehand, could they let it escape now?
That was impossible!
Without words, the group, whose coordination was becoming increasingly seamless, divided the tasks and moved in.
As a reserve force, Sheng Jiu only needed to observe from the sidelines.
After all…
Her combat ability was truly lacking!
This wasn't the first time Sheng Jiu had witnessed Ares and his group battling alien creatures.
However, it was the first time she had seen their battle so vividly and concretely.
It was thrilling, exciting, and also very bloody.
Initially, Sheng Jiu was focused on the Frosty Water Crab.
But as she watched, she couldn't help but be drawn to Yuan You and the others.
No wonder, aliens, they really can fly!!!
