Akutagawa's Life as a Savior

"Hey, Akutagawa, do you eat pike?"

A man stood shirtless in a creek, holding a large fish more than a foot long in his hands. The fish was still alive and kicking and struggling, and the splash of water reflected dazzling light in the sun.

"Is barracuda tasty?"

Akutagawa asked very seriously, since he met this man named Jin, his living standard has risen sharply, and he can already eat enough.

"It's not bad. Wild pike are quite delicious, but now is not the best time to eat pike. The pike in spring tastes the most delicious."

"Then don't eat it." Akutagawa replied decisively.

The man couldn't help laughing, and threw the barracuda in his arms far into the water. The barracuda sensed the change of environment and swam away smoothly with a flick of its tail.

The water in the wide river is quite fast, rushing past people in the water, and big fish jump out of the water from time to time, flashing away like a show off with golden scales.

"By the way, there are barracudas indicating that we are almost at the sea, and we will walk along the river for a few days before reaching the mouth of the sea. You said that you will finish your journey soon, what do you want to do next?"

Akutagawa lowered his head and thought for a while, "You can do whatever you want, I don't have anything to do now. Where are you going next?"

"I'm going to take a boat to chase killifish. There is only one group of this fish left in the world. Every winter, they swim back to the warm sea from the Sanimo River, and then travel around the family along the ocean currents until the warm spring. Only when the flowers bloom will they come back here to give birth and multiply.”

"Medaka? I remembered, is it the fish I caught and released by you a few days ago? You told me not to eat it."

Akutagawa still remembered that he caught the most beautiful fish after careful selection. The scales reflected colorful light in the sun. The body of the fish was slender and powerful, and it looked delicious.

"It's actually edible, and it's very delicious, haha. Ah, don't hit me, because the killifish is almost extinct, and of course you can't eat it anymore."

"The killifish are very large and were once rated as the most beautiful fish in the world, but they have been overfished because they are so beautiful and delicious. Coupled with the changes in ocean currents over the years, this group of killifish has been found. The last of the killifish. We have been tracking the school of killifish."

"As a result, killifish are more sought after because they are rare and rare. The price in the black market is more than gold. I don't know how many people want to make a fortune from this. We don't have to worry about their safety in Junmarui Forest, but As soon as you go to the outer ocean, you have to pay attention."

"I have some companions, they will wait for me in the city at the mouth of the sea, and then we will take a boat to chase the school of killifish and swim across the Atlantic Ocean, enter the vast sea along the Strait of Tunillo, and then circle around the continent of Axirima , return to Junmari Forest."

Akutagawa frowned and asked, "Are you just chasing and protecting them every year? I don't think this is a long-term solution."

Jin laughed, "Akutagawa, you don't know about hunters. Hunters want to challenge nature and devote themselves to the cause they love. For the pursuit of their hearts, it's okay to do it every day, let alone every year."

"Besides, we are not just for the killifish. The ocean itself is worth our pursuit. In the known regions of mankind, the greatest challenge always comes from the ocean. The ocean is mysterious and unpredictable. Anything can happen, even the invasion of species from the dark continent. Often it starts with the ocean."

"So, a real hunter must have been at sea! The fun at sea is endless!"

Akutagawa couldn't help but feel moved.

"I'll go too, sounds interesting."

"Okay, of course we welcome you to participate! In fact, I was still worrying about how to trick you, haha." Jin laughed boldly.

"By the way, did I just mention the Dark Continent? You know the Dark Continent, right?"

"Of course I know. It's not a great secret."

"Oh, I can't help it. After all, the impression you left on me is that you have no common sense at all. Ha, I was surprised when I met you. A person who doesn't know how to survive in the wild has survived for so long in Junmarui Forest. It's rare."

Jin laughed and avoided the stone thrown by Akutagawa. The stone pierced through several trees and disappeared into the dense forest.

Akutagawa snorted coldly, didn't care about his words anymore, gathered the firewood he picked up and started to light a fire.

He moved very quickly, and the fire was very hot in a short while, but the fish hadn't come yet, Akutagawa was a little impatient waiting, and he said in a cold voice without looking back: "Have you finished washing?! Who volunteered just now?" Want to prepare food?"

"Sorry, but I just saw a super rare fish and couldn't help but chase after it for a while."

Jin came over carelessly with his coat on. He said he was going to catch fish, but he actually took the opportunity to take a bath, but it was not all fruitless. He held a big fish with blue light in his hand, and the tail of the fish was still in good spirits. slapped his calf.

Akutagawa followed the sound and saw that Jin's muscle contours were clearly defined in the sun, and the water droplets rolling on the wheat-colored skin were also glistening.He had big piercing eyes, and a man's unshaven beard.

"Can you wear clothes? It's really indecent even without women."

"Don't worry about it, it's just the two of us here, who will show us our clothes?"

Akutagawa rolled his eyes and ignored him.Jin quickly killed the fish and removed the scales, and also gave Akutagawa a popular science knowledge about fish.

Akutagawa didn't want to know, he just wanted to eat quickly.

After putting the fish on the grill made of twigs, Jin cleaned the pot again, put in the wild vegetables and mushrooms picked on the road, and put in a dozen small transparent fish, and started to cook.

Jin flipped the grilled fish with one hand, and sprinkled seasoning with the other, with a chic posture, Akutagawa sincerely felt that the current Jin looked the most pleasing to the eye.

Jin didn't let Akutagawa take over the cooking work. Ever since he found out that Akutagawa had the same taste in everything he did - burnt, he didn't let Akutagawa get close to his kitchen utensils and ingredients.

After cutting the fish in half and roasting it on the fire for ten minutes, Jin took out the salt from the package and sprinkled it evenly on the surface.

"Okay, it's ready to eat. The meat of this kind of fish is naturally fragrant and rich in fat, so it's delicious only with salt. For soup, we have to wait for a while, just after we finish eating the grilled fish You can have soup afterwards."

Akutagawa cut two twigs to use as chopsticks, picked out the thorns slowly and methodically, and placed the fish meat neatly on the large washed leaves. "The taste is not bad."

Jin nonchalantly squatted on the ground and munched on the delicious fish, showing a free and unrestrained demeanor, which was in stark contrast to Akutagawa's rigorous sitting posture.

Jin couldn't help laughing at Akutagawa in his heart, he was just as particular about a little girl, she had to pay attention to her manners both standing and sitting.When we first met, Akutagawa hadn't eaten for several days.Because there was no water source nearby, and the appearance of the beast did not meet his wishes, the fruits he could find were all unpalatable.

Just like that, Akutagawa still put on airs, and when Jin invited him to dine together, he picked on the hygiene of his tableware and dining place.

Of course, Jin was teasing from the perspective of a friend. He thought Akutagawa was quite interesting, and under the quiet surface were intense personal feelings.Before talking to him, he observed Akutagawa for a while, but Akutagawa found out but didn't care, he ignored him like a beast in the forest, and just walked his own way step by step.

If he had any purpose, it didn't seem to be. He just walked forward in one direction. This kind of obsession is really scary.

Jin decided at that time that he must make this friend, so he used his cooking skills to hook him up.It's not that Jin brags, whenever he uses this trick in the wilderness, 100% of the hooked up people will be hooked, and Jin has never missed it.

Akutagawa is naturally no exception. Although the difficulty is a bit higher, he was successfully hooked up by him.

But having said that, the name Akutagawa Ryunosuke is really a mouthful, and Akutagawa does not allow any abbreviations, so he had to just call him by his surname, Akutagawa, which is quite easy to pronounce when he is familiar with it, and the palate and tongue collide ambiguously.

After traveling together for a period of time, Jin found that Akutagawa was really an interesting friend. He only acted at his own pace, but he was considerate of his companion as if nothing had happened. thought.How should I put it, Akutagawa is really different.

Jin decided to pull Akutagawa to do a big thing together. Jin likes to take risks alone, and also likes to achieve a big cause with his companions.And Akutagawa is super easy to use at first glance, with strong abilities, a real personality, and very reliable at critical moments.As for being handsome, that's another advantage.

The place where Jin was going was very dangerous, and it was blocked by the five major powers.Getting there took some careful planning, even for Kim.But Jin is right at all, he is super confident that he will be able to get there successfully in the future.He has already started to recruit people in advance.

He still can't see Akutagawa's strength clearly, anyway, he won't be worse than himself.But this is a good thing, the stronger the people who go there, the better, and Akutagawa is not someone who can be drawn in by interests, as long as feelings arise, he is naturally his companion.

Jin couldn't help laughing as he ate the rice in his mouth. He felt that he had already succeeded more than half, but he didn't notice that Akutagawa next to him put the soup away in disgust.

Not to mention, the soup is really delicious today, probably because the mushrooms in it are fresh.Jin recalled the appearance of the mushrooms he picked today. He never cared whether the ingredients were poisonous or not. He only paid attention to the taste.

Akutagawa is even more awesome. It is said that he was also overwhelmed by poison at the beginning. After he understood several pathological conditions caused by poison destroying human body functions, he would no longer be affected by these toxins in nature.

This skill is a bit similar to his talent. Jin is also very talented. He can use the same trick as long as he is damaged by the blow system ability.This is talent, not ability.

Jin also doesn't understand, the ability to read has already hit you, and you have already used your body to perceive how it works, why can't you understand, learn, and use it?

After meeting Akutagawa, he became more confident.Akutagawa can also do it, not just the power of mind, as long as it is a power he can understand, he can use it after the body perceives it.

So it's someone else's fault, either too dumb or too lazy to pay attention.
