A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 214 Anya
The blood-mixed seawater that entered his nasal cavity made Leon feel unwell. The strong smell of blood made his stomach churn.

Fortunately, he was a very tough and adaptable person, so he didn't vomit it directly in the sea.

However, it didn't feel good to passively endure the impact of the bloody smell, so Lyon simply held his breath temporarily, and at the same time, he rushed into the blood mist with the Galaxy Watermelon Knife and slashed randomly.

Most of the slashes missed, but occasionally there was a noticeable obstruction on the blade, which made Leon sure that his efforts were not in vain and that he must have hit a few targets.

"No need to attack, Contractor, it's already dead."

Just as Leon was recalling the approximate location of the cut and preparing to make a few more cuts, the blood-stained sea water around him suddenly became much clearer, and the voice of the mermaid sister also reached Leon's ears.

Following the sound, Leon saw four mermaid sisters appear beside him, and the blood was condensed together by them using their ability to control water flow, forming a large ball of blood floating in the sea.

Leon looked at the giant python again. It had stopped moving and its body began to float to the surface of the sea.

No new blood was flowing from the terrible wounds on the giant python's body. It was obvious that it had run out of energy and was dead.

But these are not the focus of Lyon's attention. The key point is that the body of this giant python can still remain in the real world, instead of disappearing directly after death like a monster, which makes Lyon very confused.

"Why didn't its body disappear?"

"It's not a monster. It won't turn into energy and be recycled by the world." The mermaid girl explained.

"So what is it really, Child of the Wilderness?"

Leon felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. If it wasn't a monster, then it would be a bit abrupt for him to use such a cruel method.

Because this giant python actually eliminates its danger and ferocity, its body itself is quite beautiful, and the scales on its body are the same light blue gem-like scales as its head.

If it could be preserved intact, it would definitely be a good collection and might even be able to sell for a lot of money.

Now that it has been chopped into pieces by myself, only the upper part of its body and the area near its tail are still intact. There is basically no larger area available for other parts of its body.

"Not sure. We plan to take the body back for research. If it's valuable, we will compensate you with an equal amount of common currency." The mermaid replied.

"If you want it, just take it. No need for compensation. Just consider it as the reward for your help." Leon waved his hand. He was interested in the complete corpse of a giant python, but he would forget about this withered flower.

Since the mermaid girls are interested in it, I'll give it to them as a favor.

This way, maybe next time I can use the mermaid horn to call the mermaid sisters and get their help.

"It depends on what the elders think. We are just ordinary guards." The mermaid sister did not say anything final.

"I don't care. I can't take such a big guy away anyway." Lyon complained.

"Yeah." The mermaid nodded.

"By the way, you guys aren't hurt, are you?"

No longer paying attention to the giant python's corpse, Leon turned to look at the mermaid sisters and asked. Because of the blood just now, he could not see the specific situation of the battle, and he didn't know whether the mermaid sisters who were responsible for restraining the giant python were injured.

The mermaid smiled upon hearing this. "Thank you for your concern, Contractor. Thanks to you, we weren't injured, and even our physical strength wasn't much depleted. I never thought that as guards, we would end up being spectators."

"Don't say that. Didn't you help trap the giant python and provide mermaid algae? Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to go into the water and fight it." Leon waved his hand to remind him.

"That's exactly what I want to say, Contractor, it's time for you to leave the water. The time for the Mermaid Algae is almost up." The mermaid sister reminded.

"Ah?" Hearing this, Leon hurriedly swam towards the surface of the water. He didn't want to choke on the water.

Fortunately, when he reached the surface of the sea, the duration of the fish-man grass had just ended, and Leon once again experienced the feeling of breathing through his nose. He was not sure what his face looked like after swallowing the fish-man grass.

But he definitely had gills, because he could feel the oxygen he breathed entering from both sides of his cheeks, then passing through his nasal cavity and into his lungs, completing a cycle.

"I'm glad you're okay. The noise in the sea just now was like a huge whirlpool."

Before Leon could check to see if the fins on his elbows and ankles had fallen off, he heard Willy's voice coming from a fishing boat not far away.

Lyon looked over and saw Willy and Gus lying on the side of the fishing boat, waving at him.

Seeing this, Leon swam over quickly, took Willy's arm and got on the boat, and then was surrounded by Willy and Gus.

"Don't worry, it's okay, I didn't suffer any loss." Lyon waved his hand to comfort the two of them. This time the battle was really easy for him, it was basically a one-sided crushing game.

"That's good, that's good." Willy and Gus breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, then surrounded Leon on the left and right, asking him what had happened in the sea.

Leon just gave a brief account of the situation in the water, roughly about how he had chopped off a giant python. He added a little artistic processing to satisfy the curiosity of the two guys.

"Contractor, the whale needs to help transport the corpse of the giant sea snake and can't help you tow the boat."

Just as Leon was passionately describing his "glorious deeds", the mermaid girl lay on the side of the boat and spoke to Leon.

"And then?" Leon didn't think the mermaids would let him drift on the sea here. Now that the whale that helped to tow the boat was gone, there should be other ways to send the three of them back.

"In addition to the whales, there are also fishmen who have studied ship technology. They are already repairing your damaged propeller." The mermaid added to Leon with some disappointment.

Obviously, she intended to tease Leon, but unfortunately Leon was not disappointed or anxious because of the first news. Instead, he calmly asked about the second news that he had concealed.

"Thank you. By the way, you don't have to call me the Contractor. Just call me by my name. My name is Leon." The mermaid girl in front of him was the one who had been communicating with Leon. After going through so many things, Leon felt that this mermaid girl was quite responsible, so he took the opportunity to bring the two closer.

That way, next time if I blow the mermaid horn to call for help it will be easier to communicate with her.

"Leon, I remember, my name is Anya." The mermaid nodded and said her own name at the same time.

"Well, Anya, I've got it. Once the fishing boat is repaired, you can go back. After all, the threat has been lifted." Leon also wrote down the name of the mermaid named Anya, and reminded her at the same time.

"Let's send you back to the sea area near Stardew Valley. After all, no one knows if there will be other problems." Anya replied.

"If it doesn't delay your business, I don't mind. By the way, I have nothing to do now. Can I ask you for a favor?" Leon didn't persuade her any more and turned to ask Anya.

"You talk, I'm listening." Anya pricked up her ears when she heard that.

"There is a shipwreck near the island we were on before. Can you search it and bring back the items inside?" Leon explained, rubbing his hands. After all, he didn't want to make a wasted trip since they threatened contact.

"Ah? Is that all?" Anya's expression froze.

"if not?"

Leon looked at Anya in confusion. He really couldn't understand what else this mermaid could do to help him besides this.
