Chapter 242 is a fish
"Alas. [Read full text]"
Seeing Zhou Shu's insistent expression, Zhao Yueru sighed slightly and began to think in his mind.
When he first entered the Sand Sea, he was still in the Qi Refining Realm. He was so stubborn and had to listen to him in everything. But if he hadn't been like this, he wouldn't have been able to enter this secret realm. This time, he was in the Foundation Establishment Realm and it was still the same. Maybe he
Still right.
If it were anyone else, even if they were at a higher level than me, I wouldn't care about them.
Moreover, I encountered a great disaster this time. If it hadn't been for him, I would have really been doomed.
At this time, Zhao Yueru felt a little fragile and became softer. The coldness in his eyes gradually disappeared and turned into a calm one, "It's a male fish."
"Hengmao?"
Both Yang Mei and Lu Qi were a little confused and looked at Zhou Shu together, hoping that Zhou Shu would explain.
Zhou Shu was slightly shocked, "Heng Gongyu, that's not a monster, but a strange beast?"
Zhao Yueru nodded, with a solemn expression, "Yes, it's a strange beast."
Zhou Shu's face also became heavy. It was not a monster, but a strange beast. No wonder not even Zhao Yueru was an opponent.
The Henggong Fish is said to be an ancient exotic beast, shaped like a red carp, with six long whiskers under its mouth. The skin around its body is extremely tough, like gold and iron, without a single flaw. It is difficult to be hurt by magic spells or magic weapons.
Moreover, it is extremely powerful and possesses six or seven special techniques.
Moreover, alien beasts are different from demonic beasts. They can reach the top after being promoted to one or two levels at most. As long as they have enough resources, they can continue to advance from level one to level eight or nine.
For example, all the black locusts in Zhou Shu are somewhat similar.
After a few rough explanations, Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "It's actually a male fish. I'm afraid it's already at level five. No wonder the elder can't defeat it."
Yang Mei and Lu Qi also nodded, feeling a little frightened in their hearts. There were actually rumored ancient beasts in this place. It was simply shocking.
Zhao Yueru sighed softly. "Actually, it is not a real ancient beast. Its bloodline is not complete. It is only 50% to 60% at most. If not for this, I would not have done anything to it in the first place."
Zhou Shu seemed thoughtful, "Only 50 or 60%?"
"I think it is somewhat different from the legendary Hengmao fish. The color is not red, and the scales are uneven. There are only four long whiskers under the mouth."
Zhao Yueru frowned slightly and said slowly, "Looking at its appearance, I think its strength is only 50% or 60% of that of the Hengmao Fish. I killed many monsters at that time and made a lot of progress. If I could get its blood, maybe
I can break through the golden elixir and reach the Nascent Soul in one fell swoop, so I will start. Who knows. Even if it is 50% to 60%, I am no match..."
Speaking of this, her face turned a little gloomy, as if she had thought of the previous situation.
Zhou Shu nodded and said understandingly, "In such a situation, anyone would take action."
Once an ancient monster like the Henggongyu can be killed, the harvest will be huge, and it is a hundred times stronger than ordinary monsters. For example, the essence and blood of the monster can be refined into many rare elixirs, all of which are high-quality, depending on the situation.
Beast r, after eating it, often has the effect of extending life and greatly enhancing physical and spiritual power. The inner elixir of alien beasts does not have as many impurities and evil spirits as in the demon elixir. Practitioners can often absorb it directly and gain spiritual awareness.
There are great benefits.
Encountering a strange beast is like a God-given opportunity, and no cultivator will let it go.
Lu Qi also nodded. Yang Mei shook her head to herself. She was very interested in alchemy, but not interested in monsters.
Zhou Shu was quiet for a while and said slowly, "Elder, since you are no match, why didn't it eat you or kill you?"
This is very strange. Although strange beasts are different from monsters, they are still beasts after all. They will not let go of cultivators who are mortal enemies, especially golden elixir cultivators.
Thinking of what Heng Gongyu did at that time, Zhao Yueru's face suddenly changed, sometimes red and sometimes white, and he seemed unable to speak.
Normally, even if she mentioned this, she would be scolded and scolded even if she asked someone, but this was the most vulnerable time for her. She obeyed Zhou Shu unconsciously, and her words were also controlled. After hesitating for a while, she finally said it.
, "It wants to keep me, saying it wants to be with me..."
Zhou Shu interrupted, "Is it about to transform?"
After saying this, Zhou Shu naturally understood, and a lot of hatred suddenly arose in his heart, and he did not let Zhao Yueru say any more.
When he was explaining just now, there was Yangmei around, but he didn't say it clearly. According to ancient records, the male fish is evil by nature. After taking shape, he often robs women for pleasure and brings harm to the world.
Yang Mei and Lu Qi were a little stunned, not knowing what Zhao Yueru said.
Zhao Yueru calmed down and said, "It was half transformed. After defeating me, it appeared in human form and could speak human language. Its head was no different from that of a human being, except that everything below the waist was a tail fin, and its limbs were also fins.
It's not completely transformed yet, but it already looks a bit like a human being."
"I see……"
The male fish was about to transform into a human form, so Zhao Yueru was left alone.
Zhou Shu thought thoughtfully, "I'm afraid that fish bubble belongs to him."
There was a lot of hatred in Zhao Yueru's words, "Half of it has turned into a human body, so I don't need to rely on the fish bubble all the time, so I take out the fish bubble and use it like a magic weapon."
"No wonder it's so tough."
Zhou Shu frowned, still a little confused, "But that fish bubble shouldn't be able to trap the elder, right?"
"I thought I couldn't get trapped, so I didn't care too much, but that's not the case..."
Zhao Yueru shook her head, "I used swords and magic techniques inside, and there were many times when I felt like I was about to escape, but the fish bubble would repair itself. As long as I punctured as much as possible, it would recover... I don't know how to live such a life.
How long has it been, for more than a year, no matter how hard I try, I can't break it, alas... Moreover, the fish bubble is filled with great pressure, and it feels like there are tens of millions of pounds of force pressing on me every moment. In such a situation
Under pressure, I feel that everything I have is constantly being consumed, and the losses are getting less and less, and I can’t even self-destruct the golden elixir..."
Zhao Yueru spoke softly and described this scene, which makes people feel desperate.
He was locked up in a dark room and was suppressed all the time. If something broke, it would be repaired, and there was no hope of escape.
Many people would never dare to imagine this feeling, but Zhao Yueru endured it alone for more than a year.
Yang Mei listened with tears in her eyes unconsciously, while Lu Qi's face was heavy and full of anger.
Zhao Yueru was fragile for a while, and soon returned to calmness, "But in recent days, the fish bubble has been recovering very slowly, and when it shines, it seems to become very thin. I feel that hope is coming, and I want to work hard to pierce it."
, but my spiritual energy consumption was too great, and the elixir was also used up. When I could break it, I couldn't. Haha, when I felt that I was about to despair, I didn't expect that you would come to save me again."
She finished speaking slowly, with a relieved smile on her face, and looked at Zhou Shu with a lot of unspeakable gratitude in her eyes.
Zhou Shu's expression was quite solemn, "Elder, I think the situation in Yupao must be that something happened to the male fish."
He didn't think too much about Zhao Yueru, but focused on Yupao.
The fish bubble would have restored itself, and it was obviously under the control of the male fish, but now it is no longer under control, indicating that the male fish may have been in some trouble.
Zhao Yueru paused for a moment and thought for a while, "That may be the case."
Normally, she would have thought of it, but she had been in prison for more than a year and had just seen the light of day. She relaxed and didn't think so much.
"It's an opportunity."
Zhou Shu nodded lightly, "Elder, how long will it take for you to fully recover?"
"Ah? You want to deal with that male fish now?"
Zhao Yueru guessed Zhou Shu's thoughts and was stunned.
