At Riko's suggestion, everyone agreed that they needed to find a "local guide." But the moment they set off, Riko's stomach rumbled again.
Her face instantly flushed with embarrassment.
"I'm getting a little hungry too." Zhou Qing laughed heartily. He understood why Riko had become hungry so quickly. Naturally, it was because playing that instrument inside the white device had improved both her physique and Soul Power. Yet her strength was still low. Unlike him and Dugu Bo, who had opened their Inner Scenery and could practice Grain Abstinence, she needed to replenish her energy expenditure.
Splash!
Water suddenly rippled in a paddy field not far away. Amid the glittering waves, they caught sight of a fish-like creature.
"Perfect. I'm tired of roasted Dragon Mane Snail Dove meat anyway. Let's try the fish here."
As Zhou Qing spoke, he took out the Soul Tool Mechanical Broken Arm from the Gray Pouch. After infusing it with Soul Power, it became like an extension of his own arm. With a flick forward, the cable-like arm rapidly stretched out toward the rippling water.
Splash!
After it entered the water, Zhou Qing could even feel the water temperature through the broken arm's hand. It was quite miraculous.
Splash!
Less than three seconds later, a huge fish nearly two meters long was caught and thrown before them.
"This is a fish?"
The "fish" was entirely bluish-gray. Its tail resembled a caterpillar, one segment after another. Its back was covered in tiny gray soft spines, while its belly was lined with purple convex feelers. Its tail was the same.
Its head was even more exaggerated, with one enormous eye. The pupil was grayish-white, like a mirror.
Even stranger, soft pale purplish-blue dots surrounded its mouth, and its mouth contained a tongue with countless branches.
