Today I Released Lightning into the Lake, and Buddha Sent Me Fish Instead of Merit
"Forehead."
Gu Chen's question left Qin Li speechless.
Despite her past life experiences, she has a great deal of knowledge about many Beast Race.
However, this increased understanding only extended to the aspects of the conflict.
As for food, that falls into her area of ignorance.
After all, in my previous life, I didn't place as much importance on food as I do now.
She was powerless to solve this problem.
Mu Fan couldn't help but glance at Gu Chen, and sighed with emotion:
"Senior Brother Gu's thinking is simply too ingenious."
Hearing this, Gu Chen scratched his head and said:
"Judging from what we ate before, the higher the quality of the Beast Race, the more their meat helps with cultivation, and the better it tastes."
"The chewiness of Black Dragon meat jerky is unmatched by any other meat."
As he spoke, he glanced at the lake and said:
"Master only mentioned eating fish, without specifying the exact species. Since this Tiger Flood Dragon has a fish body and such a high rank, I think it's worth a try."
"After all, it's rare for Master to make such a request, so we definitely want to do it well."
After speaking, Gu Chen looked at Qin Li.
What are your thoughts, Junior Sister Qin?
Qin Li thought for a moment and said:
"An adult Tiger Flood Dragon's strength is already comparable to that of the Transcendent Realm. This place, with its water, is its advantageous position. In a fight against it, we don't have much of an advantage in terms of strength, but..."
"I agree with you, we should try to make things better."
After a pause, Qin Li looked at the group, thought for a moment, and said:
"Just to be on the safe side, we might need to use some of our trump cards."
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen took out a small sword:
"This was given to me by the Old Ancestor Gu; it contains the power of one of his sword strikes."
Qin Li glanced at it and said:
" At the Peak Dao Comprehension Realm, combined with Sword Intent, one can rival the Transcendent Realm, but it's not enough to be fatal."
Gu Chen nodded and took out another talisman.
The surface of the talisman shimmered with light, and within it lay a suppressed, astonishing power of fire, as if, once ignited, it could transform this entire world into a sea of flames.
The moment the talisman appeared, Mu Fan's body trembled. He stared at the talisman in disbelief and said:
"Holy crap, where did Senior Brother Gu get talismans of this level?!"
As the saying goes, the layman sees the spectacle, while the expert sees the details. He cultivated the art of talismans, so he naturally knew the level of skill behind the talisman that Gu Chen had taken out.
In his view, it is absolutely a "top-notch" term.
If it could be used as a filler symbol, its power would be beyond description.
"My master gave it to me when I went out for training," Gu Chen said.
Upon hearing this, the look of surprise on Mu Fan's face vanished completely.
Since it was given by Master, there's nothing surprising about it.
"This talisman won't work." Qin Li shook her head.
"The power is too great; the Tiger Flood Dragon might not be able to withstand it."
"Then I'll look for something else." Gu Chen put away the talisman, entered his storage ring, and began searching on the shelf where the trump cards were kept.
Mu Fan took out a small treasure, the same one he had used on the Two-Horned Giant Rhino last time, and then said:
"If the small ones aren't enough, I have the big ones."
Qin Li glanced at Mu Fan:
"Forget about the big ones. Your stuff is too destructive. If you blow it up, there won't be much left to eat."
Just as Qin Li was about to pass by Luo Ling'er, Mu Fan seemed to have thought of something and said:
"Xiao Ling'er's kitchen utensils are all quite sophisticated. Besides the knife and pot, could the others have other uses as well?"
The reason he brought this up is because a word suddenly came to mind.
Knife and chopping board.
The reason I thought of this is precisely because of the things I need to do right now.
Kill the fish.
Fish and meat, and the knife and chopping board.
Upon hearing this, not only Mu Fan, but also Gu Chen standing to the side, showed a change in expression.
He still vividly remembered how sharp Luo Ling'er's knife was.
The Black Dragon was sliced with a smooth, silky touch.
At that moment, Luo Ling'er's cutting board was taken out.
Qin Li focused her attention on the cutting board and began to study it.
Soon, a serious expression appeared on her face.
With her limited knowledge, she couldn't fully grasp the specifics of this cutting board's unique features; she could only sense that it was quite extraordinary.
There was a vague sense of déjà vu, but I couldn't quite place what it was.
Instead, Qin Li stopped thinking about it and returned the cutting board to Luo Ling'er, saying:
"Perhaps this cutting board does have some effect; the power it contains feels like a form of suppression."
"If there's an opportunity later, Senior Sister Luo can give it a try."
Afterwards, the group discussed the Tiger Flood Dragon's habits and how it attacked.
"Alright, that's about enough. It's getting late, let's finish quickly so we can still make it to lunchtime." Gu Chen glanced at the sky and spoke.
The group dispersed, no longer concealing their presence.
A moment later, the surface of the lake rippled slightly.
The next moment, a sound suddenly came from beneath the water, like the calls of mandarin ducks, clear and melodious, making it hard to associate this sound with a powerful spirit beast.
Be careful not to be misled.
Qin Li gave a reminder.
Almost as soon as the words were spoken, a tremendous column of water suddenly shot out from the surface of the lake, hurtling towards where the group was.
Although the water column is made of solidified water, it exerts an extremely strong sense of pressure, no less than that of a civil engineering project.
The group was prepared and quickly took cover before the water jets hit.
"Junior Brother Xiao," Gu Chen said.
Upon hearing this, lightning surged around Xiao Ye.
The next moment, bolts of lightning magic condensed in front of him and shot towards the lake.
The Tiger Flood Dragon is lazy, or rather, it doesn't like to come out of the water. It often uses the water around its body as a means of attack.
To get it out, you need to give it some stimulation.
Methods involving lightning are the most suitable.
In an instant, lightning flashed and rushed towards the lake. The once calm surface of the lake water was instantly ignited as if the water had been boiled wherever the lightning struck.
Watching this scene, a smile appeared on Mu Fan's face, and he murmured softly:
"Today I release a wave of lightning into the lake, and Buddha bestows upon me fish as a token of merit."
As the lightning struck, water columns continued to condense and unleash their attacks.
Gu Chen, holding his gun, used offense as defense, trying his best to block the water jets.
"The power of thunder is indeed lacking." Qin Li observed the situation of the lake and sensed the Tiger Flood Dragon's reaction.
A moment later, he flipped his hand over, and several drops of blood essence appeared in his palm.
This essence blood was not collected in the last few days, but was obtained from the White Tiger's essence blood when I first joined Hidden Origin Peak.
Luring Tiger Flood Dragon out of the water is, besides being stimulating, also a form of enticement.
If the temptation is strong enough, nothing is impossible.
As expected, the moment the White Tiger's essence blood appeared, the attacks from the lake immediately slowed down.
"It's coming out!"
Qin Li looked at Mu Fan but didn't say anything.
Mu Fan nodded, his smile fading. He spread his wings, and power surrounded his feet. His aura was as light as the wind, ethereal and imperceptible.
The water surface remained still, yet a chilling aura was clearly perceptible, rushing upwards at an astonishing speed.
Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Li calculated the approximate time and decisively turned and ran.
Logically speaking, Mu Fan be the most suitable person to do this job.
However, the key to luring fish lies in pulling; too fast or too slow is not good, and sufficient combat experience is needed to grasp the rhythm.
Splash!
Water splashed skyward as the enormous Tiger Flood Dragon leaped out of the water. Unlike its melodious cry, its appearance was so different that a single description would not suffice; it was utterly the opposite, with a ferocious look.
