Afterward, Wang Shouzhe fed it twice more, over a thousand jin of assorted Spirit Fish each time.
Only after eating all of that did the juvenile Kun seem somewhat full. It lowered its head and rubbed its forehead against Wang Shouzhe and Liu Ruolan in affection, then began frolicking in Zhuwei Lake.
Over the years, the Wang Clan had continually dredged and deepened Zhuwei Lake to increase its water storage capacity. This not only facilitated freshwater aquaculture and farmland irrigation, but also enhanced Ping'an Town's floodwater retention capacity when the rainy season arrived.
After several decades, Zhuwei Lake was no longer the shallow lake with its thin layer of water from before. Its deepest point at the center had even reached thirty zhang, making it a large reservoir by now. The lake teemed with fish, including plenty that weighed a hundred jin or even several hundred jin.
Yet even so, the three-zhang-long juvenile Kun could still be considered a colossal creature within Zhuwei Lake. Wherever it passed, waves and ripples streaked across the surface, sending every school of fish fleeing in frantic panic.
Yet the fleeing fish schools instead stirred the juvenile Kun's predatory urge.
It let out a roar at the fish schools, stunning or killing them outright. Then, like a whale swallowing the sea, it inhaled and gulped them down. Water was expelled through its gills, while the delicious fresh fish remained in its mouth.
"This devouring ability..." Wang Shouzhe and Liu Ruolan hovered above the surface of Zhuwei Lake, both rendered somewhat speechless.
Legend had it that Kun possessed a divine ability of devouring, with an appetite as vast as the sea. Now that they had seen it for themselves, it truly lived up to its name.
Besides that, Kun also possessed the ability to traverse space.
