(Previous Summary: After Ning Fan consumed the Tenth Revolution Pill that contained Tao Tie's power, he went around looking for food. At that moment, Old Ancestor Nü Luo came to him and claimed that she could help him find food of higher quality. When the two of them passed by the Quail Fire Palace, Old Ancestor Nu Luo ordered the Fire Devil Race who lived here to open the seal of the Quail Fire Pond …
"Don't talk nonsense! The reason this young lady asked Fellow Daoist Ning to come here is to handle proper business! Quickly open the seal, I want to go to the Fire Quail Pond! "
Long Yansheng didn't dare to disobey Ancestor Nu Luo's order. He immediately summoned countless Fire Demon clansmen and prepared to open the Fire Quail Pond.
The so-called Fire Quail Pond was a secret place sealed at the bottom of the desert of the Quail Fire Palace. Every time it was opened, a special ceremony was required.
The members of the Fire Devil Clan were busy setting up the altar and setting up the incense table. The altar looked ordinary at first glance, but he did not expect that the principles of formations contained within it were actually quite different from what he had learned. It was probably the inheritance of the Zi Wei Immortal Region. There was nothing special about the incense table, but the offerings placed on it were a little special.
When ordinary people opened the altar, they would either offer melons, fruits, or three kinds of animals. But the offerings on this incense table were earthworms and red worms.
Ning Fan could not help but find it funny when he saw the offering. How is this an offering? It's obviously a bait. Could it be that you guys want to offer fish by setting up such a law?
He then looked at the spirit tablet on the incense burner table. Hehe, he had actually guessed it correctly.
Supreme Tai Ku, Fire Fish Immortal.
They were really offering fish!
He just didn't know who the Fire Fish Celestial on the spirit tablet was, and what relationship he had with the fire quail pond.
Suddenly, the sound of crying could be heard.
Ning Fan shifted his gaze to the side and happened to see an old female immortal of the Fire Devil Clan leading more than ten young fire devils walking towards them.
The girls were all sobbing — they were crying, but they gave off the impression that they were faking it. They didn't look very sad.
The Black Witch had a stern expression on her face. She seemed to have noticed that the crying was too fake, so she reprimanded them, "Pay attention! Even if he had to put on an act, he had to make it look real! One had to know that the matter of the Weeping Fish was for emergencies. If you don't cry like that, those monsters won't be afraid of you! "
"Nurture your feelings well!"
"Think more about the sorrowful things!"
"… Yes!" The few girls replied submissively. One by one, they began to build up their emotions and gradually began to cry.
"Weeping Fish?" Ning Fan silently observed everything around him.
He had only heard of mortals crying after they died, but he didn't know that opening a fire quail pond also required crying for the fish in the pond.
Under the Witch's lead, these girls stood on the left and right. The witch waved her hand again, and the young girls stopped crying. Clearly, they didn't need to cry for the fish yet, so they could rest for a while.
As for the witch herself, she staggered to the incense table and picked up the wooden sword on the table with trembling hands. She then grabbed a handful of yellow and green talisman paper and threw them into the air. She then began to mumble an incantation.
"Ma Mi Ma Mi Mo … Please give me the Spirit Fire Illuminating Talisman … Ma Mi Mo … Fire Quail Pond really works …"
As the witch chanted the incantation, she jumped and jumped. After jumping for an unknown amount of time, the spirit tablet on the incense burner table finally changed and began to tremble slightly.
Then, an eight-colored flame flew out from the spirit tablet and soared into the sky.
There was only one flame in the beginning. After circling in the sky for a while, it suddenly trembled and turned into tens of thousands of flames, illuminating the entire sky with a colorful glow.
"True Sovereign, please show yourself!" The witch pointed the wooden sword at the sky. Then, the flames fell from the sky. Within the flames, the magma lake that was originally sealed at the bottom of the desert slowly rose to the surface, bubbling with lava.
The magma lake occupied an area of several hundred li * (500m per li). The shape of the lake was very strange. If one were to look down from the sky, it would look like a huge bird spreading its wings.
From time to time, there would be huge fishes with wings jumping out of the lake and swimming happily in the magma.
These fishes had long beaks, wings and scales, which made them look indescribably awkward. Moreover, because their heads were too big and their eyes were too protruding, the proportions of their heads and bodies were out of balance. Their facial features were also out of balance, making them look rather strange and ugly. When they opened their mouths and revealed their sharp fangs, they were not cute at all. Instead, they looked extremely ferocious and terrifying.
Among these fishes, the smallest one was the size of an adult cow. Some of the bigger ones could even grow to a length of several hundred zhang * (3.33m per zhang).
The sound of the fish was also very strange. It sounded like a bird but not a bird, like a beast but not a beast. Its voice was hoarse and unpleasant to the ears. It sounded like a crow but also like the snort of a pig.
"This is the Fire Quail Pond. There are fishes in the pond. When they come in contact with water, they will soar in the sky. When they come in contact with fire, they will dive into the ground. They are called Fire Quail Fish. Even though this fish looks ugly, its meat is exceptionally delicious and nourishing. A mouthful of its meat is thousands of times better than what Fellow Daoist has eaten in your entire life. The only problem is that the flame qi of this fish is too strong. Even a Sovereign Fire Cultivator would not dare to eat too much of it. Some parts of the fish are poisonous. Thus, it needs to be specially processed before eating … Why don't we go closer and take a closer look at this fish … "Old Ancestor Nu Luo said with a smile.
As she was speaking, she led Ning Fan to a place near the magma lake.
Ning Fan walked to the edge of the lake. Coincidentally, there was a medium-sized Fire Quail Fish swimming towards him. It approached him like a small mountain.
This Fire Quail Fish was also very ugly. However, its eyes were very lively as if countless emotions were written in its eyes. After it swam to the shore, it obediently swayed its fish tail and slapped the surface of the water. It looked at Ning Fan pitifully and shook its huge fish head from time to time.
"Legend has it that the Fire Quail Fish is an affectionate fish. When it meets the person it loves, it will swim to the shore to express its happiness …" As she said this, Old Ancestor Nu Luo suddenly paused and looked at Ning Fan meaningfully.
"An affectionate fish? This is interesting. "
"What's more interesting is that all of these Fire Quail Fish are hermaphrodites. They can reproduce on their own. In other words, they don't need to be attracted to external objects at all …"
"Hermaphrodites? Well, it's not a big deal to talk about it as a fish …"
Ning Fan and the Fire Quail Fish looked at each other.
When he met the pitiful eyes of the Fire Quail Fish, he did not know why he did not find it ugly. Instead, he felt that this fish was a little cute.
Thus, he squatted down and reached out his hand to pat the Fire Quail Fish's big head as if he was comforting it.
He possessed the ability to communicate with all living things. Even if he did not deliberately activate it, he could still clearly sense the kindness in the fish's eyes.
It seems to be a pity to eat such a friendly and adorable fish just like that. It's better to keep one or two of them …
"However, the way the Fire Quail Fish express their love is a little special. If they meet the person they love, they will definitely open their huge mouth and truly become one with the person they love …" Old Ancestor Nu Luo added.
Almost at the same time when her voice fell, the friendly and adorable Fire Quail Fish suddenly opened its huge mouth and tried to swallow Ning Fan.
How is this fish expressing its love?!
It clearly wants to eat Ning Fan in one bite!
If you love him, you will become one with him!
If you love him, you will eat him!
The affection in the Fire Quail Fish's eyes was actually because it saw something it loved to eat!
After Ning Fan activated the All Living Things Communication, he also heard the arrogant words of the Fire Quail Fish.
[Foolish humans! Become my food!]
"…" Ning Fan was slightly speechless.
He who thought that the Fire Quail Fish was cute might be … might be … an idiot …
"Ahhhh!"
After the Fire Quail Fish swallowed Ning Fan, it let out a satisfied burp!
Almost at the same time when the Fire Quail Fish ate Ning Fan, countless screams resounded among the fire devils. Even the leader of the fire devils, Long Yansheng, was shocked.
"Not good! Senior Nu Luo's lover has been eaten! "
Long Yansheng could not help but be shocked!
As the master of the Fire Quail Palace, he had been guarding the Fire Quail Pond for countless years. How could he not know how terrifying these Fire Quail Fish were?
The Fire Quail Fish was an ancient species. Its gastric juice was unusually strong. Even a young Fire Quail Fish could digest a True Immortal Realm cultivator within a few breaths.
The Fire Quail Fish that swallowed Ning Fan was obviously already an adult. Its gastric juice was something that even an immortal cultivator like Long Yansheng would be wary of.
Long Yansheng only thought that Ning Fan was Old Ancestor Nu Luo's lover. How could he know that Ning Fan was strong? As soon as he saw Ning Fan enter the fish's stomach, his face turned green with fear!
If Ning Fan dies in his territory, the entire Fire Devil Clan would have to bear the wrath of Old Ancestor Nu Luo …
"Quick! Cry for the fish! If we can save him in time, there might still be hope … "Long Yansheng ordered the witch.
As a matter of fact, even without Long Yansheng's order, the witch had always been on guard against any accidents. Almost at the same time when Ning Fan was swallowed, she had already given the order to the young girls around her.
Then, the young girls began to cry in unison. Each of them cried their hearts out as if they were going to send Ning Fan off.
It was strange.
It was clearly just the ordinary cries of young girls. However, in the ears of the Fire Quail Fish, it actually carried an indescribable lethality.
Be it the Fire Quail Fish that swallowed Ning Fan or the other Fire Quail Fish that were swimming happily on the surface of the lake, all of them instantly had a splitting headache when they heard the cries of the young girls. While screaming in pain, they struggled in the magma lake.
The Fire Quail Fish that swallowed Ning Fan … Let's just call it the Mortal Swallowing Fish. It was in the most pain. Under the witch's order, most of the cries surrounded it, making it feel like vomiting.
It was unbearable. It was too unbearable!
The Mortal Swallowing Fish knew that if it did not spit out the food in its stomach, the cries would definitely continue to torture it.
If it encountered such a situation in the past, it might admit defeat and spit out the food in its stomach. However, this time, it was not willing to back down!
Because the food (referring to Ning Fan) this time was simply too nourishing! Only after it swallowed Ning Fan did it truly feel the immense cultivation base that Ning Fan possessed!
If it could digest Ning Fan, its cultivation base would definitely skyrocket. It might even become stronger than the Fire Immortal Fish …
Due to its greed, the Mortal Swallowing Fish closed its beak tightly and refused to spit Ning Fan out no matter what.
At that moment, Long Yansheng became even more afraid!
He had never seen such a stubborn Fire Quail Fish. It was not even afraid of the Fish Wailing Ritual. It completely went against common sense!
Seeing that Ning Fan had stayed in the fish's stomach for too long, Long Yansheng was afraid that Ning Fan had already been digested by the gastric juice. Thus, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He asked Old Ancestor Nu Luo for instructions. "There's only one way left! I'll cut open the fish's stomach with my blade. Senior, please cast your magic technique to dispel the venom and save Ning Fan … "
Breaking the fish's stomach to save him is the last way. However, it is definitely not the best way.
Because there are too many poison sacs in the Fire Quail Fish's body. When the fish's stomach is broken, part of the poison sacs will definitely be broken.
That venom is much more powerful than the gastric juice. If even a drop of the venom from the broken poison sacs sticks to Ning Fan's body … Sigh. What else can I do other than this? I can only brace myself and do it!!!
Unexpectedly, Old Ancestor Nu Luo was still calm and composed. A double-sided embroidered circular fan appeared in her hand out of nowhere. She covered her mouth and smiled. "There's no hurry."
The pattern embroidered on the circular fan was a cluster of green female radish grass.
Huh? Look at the situation now. Why aren't you anxious?
Long Yansheng was dumbfounded. Could it be that you are already tired of playing with that little brother? Otherwise, why are you still so carefree when everyone is about to die?
* Chi *
Suddenly, the sound of sword light was heard.
A ray of sword light that was completely condensed from magic power suddenly burst out from the Mortal Swallowing Fish's body. In an instant, it split the Mortal Swallowing Fish into two halves.
The Mortal Swallowing Fish died just like that. Even when it died, its eyes were still filled with greed that it was unwilling to open its mouth.
Ning Fan was speechless. He flew out from the fish's stomach. The venom that splashed out from the broken poison sacs could not reach his body at all as it was blocked by an invisible wall of magic power.
Long Yansheng was so shocked that he could not close his mouth.
What kind of vast magic power is that?!
He managed to block the venom of the Fire Quail Fish just by releasing his magic power. This young man … Ah no, this Senior Ning Fan actually possesses the magic power of a Quasi-Saint Realm expert!
"Is this fish interesting?" Old Ancestor Nu Luo asked with a smile.
"…" Ning Fan stared at Old Ancestor Nu Luo speechlessly. He did not answer her. Obviously, he could tell that she was laughing at him for foolishly touching the head of such a ferocious fish.
"A fish is a boring fish. Fellow Daoist, on the other hand, is an interesting person." Old Ancestor Nu Luo continued to tease him.
After waiting for a long time, Ning Fan gave her an indifferent answer. "… There are two hundred and four poison sacs."
Old Ancestor Nu Luo was slightly surprised. She did not expect that Ning Fan could actually count the number of poison sacs in the Fire Quail Fish's body just after being swallowed by it for a short while.
His perception was actually not wrong at all!
"If you want to eat the Fire Quail Fish, you must avoid the poison sacs when slicing the fish. If you accidentally cut open the poison sacs, the fish will be completely destroyed …" Ning Fan's eyes swept across the Swallowing Mortal Fish that he had cut into half and came to a conclusion.
The flesh of the Swallowing Mortal Fish had already been splashed with the venom. As a result, the flesh of the fish that was originally snow-white instantly turned black, dry and hard. Its texture was like rotten dead wood. It had lost all of its spiritual essence and no longer had any value to eat.
"What Senior said is extremely true! If you want to eat the Fire Quail Fish, a member of the Fire Devil Race who is familiar with the structure of the fish must personally cut it. If you make any mistake, the entire fish will be wasted. This junior has millions of years of experience in slicing fish. I'm willing to slice the fish for Senior! "Long Yansheng said respectfully to Ning Fan with a smile on his face.
Since this person already knew how strong Ning Fan was, he naturally did not dare to show any disrespect. Moreover, he had previously mistakenly thought that Ning Fan was in a relationship with Nü Luo and his words were inappropriate. The reason why he deliberately flattered Ning Fan now was because he was worried that Ning Fan would mind his previous words.
"Oh? Fellow Daoist is an immortal emperor. How can I dare to ask Fellow Daoist to do this kind of servant's work for me? "Ning Fan politely rejected Long Yansheng's kind intention.
The calmness in his tone was not a pretense. It made Long Yansheng secretly heave a sigh of relief. He knew that Ning Fan did not bear a grudge against him for the misunderstanding at all.
Thus, Long Yansheng's tone became even more respectful. "Senior, you are a Quasi-Saint Realm expert. Since you have come all the way here, if this junior refuses to accept your help, it would be impolite of me. Actually, I should be the one to do the hard work of slicing the fish."
"I'm not a Quasi-Saint Realm expert. I'm just an Immortal King Realm expert …" Ning Fan shook his head.
"Huh? Senior is just an Immortal King Realm expert? "Long Yansheng was stunned at first. Then, he smacked his forehead and laughed." I understand now! This junior understands now! Senior is indeed an Immortal King Realm expert! "
No. I guess you don't understand … Forget it.
Ning Fan had gradually gotten used to being misunderstood by others. He was already too lazy to explain himself. Since it was Old Ancestor Nü Luo who invited him to eat the fish, he naturally would not be polite.
However, his stomach was still rumbling with hunger.
Ning Fan's gaze swept across the Fire Quail Pond. Eventually, it stopped at the largest Fire Quail Fish.
At this moment, the young girls who were crying for the fish had already stopped crying. Thus, the Fire Quail Fish in the pond had regained their calmness and were swimming happily.
As if it had sensed Ning Fan's gaze, the largest Fire Quail Fish also looked at him. The moment it saw Ning Fan, its eyes were filled with love.
After confirming with its eyes, it was undoubtedly a delicacy!
Thus, this Fire Quail Fish, ah no, this Second Mortal Devouring Fish imitated the behavior of the previous fish. It swam all the way to the shore while acting cute. Then, it looked at Ning Fan pitifully, shaking its head and wagging its tail pitifully. Its big ugly eyes were filled with true feelings.
When he saw the pitiful eyes of the Second Mortal Devouring Fish, Ning Fan's expression seemed to soften a little. He squatted down and reached out his hand, stroking the fish's big head as if he was comforting it.
* Howl *
As soon as the Second Mortal Devouring Fish saw Ning Fan approaching it, it immediately opened its bloody mouth, wanting to replicate the success of the first Mortal Devouring Fish by swallowing Ning Fan in a single gulp.
At this moment, the light of the illusion technique in Ning Fan's left eye flashed.
Then, the Second Mortal Devouring Fish maintained the appearance of its bloody mouth. Before it could close its mouth, it foamed at the mouth and died.
It was instantly killed by the illusion technique!
"* Hehe * I thought that Fellow Daoist would be swallowed by this fish again. Turns out that you were just acting with it, pretending to be bewitched by it. I can't learn this kind of bad taste." Old Ancestor Nu Luo said with a smile.
"…" Of course, Ning Fan was not having a bad taste.
If the Second Mortal Devouring Fish had repented at the last moment and retracted its attack, his illusion technique would never have been activated.
Compared to eating a fish, Ning Fan was more willing to keep a Fire Quail Fish as his pet. Unfortunately, he had always had a strict standard when it came to choosing pets. Even though the appearance of this fish was to his liking, it did not know the most basic observation and retreat when faced with difficulties. He would never accept such an idiotic fish. He would never accept a fish whose intelligence was even lower than Old Wu's.
"Achoo …" Old Wu who was far away in the Eastern Heaven sneezed for no reason.
[So, which part of this ugly creature is cute? Your sense of beauty is really strange …] In Ning Fan's Sea of Consciousness, the Ant Lord complained helplessly.
The Second Mortal Devouring Fish that was killed by the illusion technique was handed over to Long Yansheng.
Long Yansheng's body was shrouded in seven-colored light. He stood in front of the kitchen table and unleashed his Immortal Emperor Qi without any reservation. For a moment, the weather changed.
On the kitchen table, there was a huge fish that was hundreds of zhang * (3.33m per zhang) long.
Long Yansheng rolled up his sleeves and held a kitchen knife in each of his hands. The kitchen knife was actually his Dao Weapon.
His attack was as fast as lightning. The knife light flashed and the powerful Immortal Emperor Qi spread out, almost cutting the sky into two halves.
A mere dead fish naturally could not withstand the slash of an Immortal Emperor Realm expert. The fish's scales danced in the air and the flesh of the fish was continuously sliced off. As the knife light crisscrossed, Long Yansheng avoided every single poison sac that was hidden in the flesh perfectly.
He was indeed a big shot who had millions of years of experience in slicing fish. He was simply terrifying!
Looking at the scene where Long Yansheng sliced the fish, Ning Fan faintly had an epiphany. However, it was fleeting and difficult to capture.
If he were to slice the fish, he would also be able to do what Long Yansheng did. However, he would need to use his spirit sense to sense it.
If he did not use his spirit sense to sense the fish, he certainly would not be able to perfectly avoid every single one of the poison sacs.
However, Long Yansheng did not use his spirit sense to sense the fish at all. He just relied on the experience he had accumulated throughout his life to achieve this feat.
"Practice makes perfect … No matter how exquisite the divine abilities in this world are, they are still incomparable to the purest and simplest Great Dao … I have understood this principle a long time ago. However, when I see this scene with my own eyes, I still feel astonished …"
In terms of combat, Ning Fan had a hundred ways to get rid of Long Yansheng.
But in terms of slicing fish … Fine, Ning Fan admitted defeat.
"Senior, do you want to eat sashimi, fish soup or grilled quail with wine? Grilled fish slices are also not bad. What do you think, Senior? "Long Yansheng asked with a smile while slicing the fish with lightning speed.
* Gurgle *
His stomach was already rumbling with hunger. After hearing Long Yansheng's words, he became even hungrier.
"Just do as you see fit." Ning Fan's expression remained the same.
However, the sound in his stomach still sounded awkwardly and politely.
"Hehe. Junior will do as I see fit then."
Not only did Long Yansheng have millions of years of experience slicing fish, but he also had millions of years of experience in cooking fish.
Therefore, the taste of the fish he made was unimaginably delicious.
Long Yansheng was in charge of cooking while the other members of the Fire Devil Clan were in charge of serving the dishes.
A few strong men of the Fire Devil Clan carried a bowl that was as large as a house and presented it to Ning Fan. In that bowl, there was a whole bowl of delicious fish soup.
"Senior, please enjoy your meal." The few strong men said respectfully.
"Thank you." Ning Fan replied politely and no longer acted courteously.
He reached out his hand, picked up the bowl that was as large as a house and drank the fish soup in big gulps.
"Hiss!"
All the members of the Fire Devil Clan including Long Yansheng were shocked by his actions.
Even Old Ancestor Nu Luo was slightly surprised. Obviously, she did not expect that Ning Fan would dare to drink the fish soup in big gulps.
After all, the flame qi contained in the Fire Quail Fish was too strong. Even a Sovereign Realm fire cultivator would have to take small bites of it. Even someone as strong as Old Ancestor Nu Luo could not drink the soup in big gulps like Ning Fan.
"This person's capability is even beyond my expectation …" Old Ancestor Nu Luo's heart was filled with joy. Of course, she would not treat Ning Fan to a meal for no reason. She came with a request. The stronger Ning Fan's capability was, the more likely she would be able to fulfill her request. Thus, she was naturally happy to see it.
Ning Fan was not afraid of the flame qi of the Fire Quail Fish.
From the Minor Five Elemental Body to the Major Five Elemental Body and then to the Genesis Primordial Spirit Body, his physique was getting stronger and stronger. His resistance to fire was already extremely strong in the first place.
In addition, he had recently obtained a rare treasure which was the land of utmost fire in the ten worlds. Thus, his fire element had skyrocketed. Currently, he even dared to swallow the fire element attack of an immortal emperor. The flame qi of the fish was not worth mentioning at all.
Very soon, the entire bowl of fish soup was finished by Ning Fan. He drank all the fish soup and ate all the fish meat, leaving only a bowl full of oily fish bones.
"Hmm? These fish bones are quite strange. They might be useful to Brother Yu … "Ning Fan, however, planned to give the leftover fish bones to the Fish Master.
As for why he did not give the fish meat soup … He just felt that it was a little impolite to invite the Fish Master to eat fish … By the way, would giving the fish bones violate Brother Yu's taboo? After all, we are all fish …
Forget it. I'll collect these fish bones first. If I have the chance in the future, I'll ask Brother Yu about it first. Then, I'll consider whether I should give them to him or not.
Thus, Ning Fan kept all the leftover fish bones into his storage pouch.
After finishing the bowl of fish soup, a new dish was served.
It was an oval plate that was as large as a boat. Inside the plate was a piece of fried fish that was about to turn golden brown and crispy.
It even came with sauce.
* Gurgle *
Ning Fan's stomach was still rumbling with hunger.
Ning Fan who was famished only used a dozen breaths' time to finish the entire boat. Ah, no. It was an entire plate of fried fish.
Then, it was the third dish.
Then, it was the fourth dish.
The fifth dish.
The ninth dish.
The fifteenth dish.
"Unbelievable! Putting aside the fact that this Senior Ning is not afraid of the flame qi, could it be that he hasn't eaten his fill yet?! "All the members of the Flame Devil Clan were shocked.
Even Long Yansheng was shocked by Ning Fan's appetite.
One had to know that this Swallowing Mortal Fish No. 2 was the largest fish in the Fire Quail Pond. Its body was several hundred zhang * (3.33m per zhang) long. Excluding the parts that could not be eaten, the fish meat still weighed several million jin.
After fifteen dishes, there was only half a fish left in the Swallowing Mortal Fish No. 2.
Ning Fan had already eaten one to two million jin of fish meat but he still looked like he was not full.
His appetite was way too terrifying!
One had to know that even the Great Kun of the Northern Sea who was famous for its appetite could only eat around seven to eight hundred thousand jin of fish meat every time it came to this place.
After all, the medicinal effect of the Fire Quail Fish was too strong. It could easily cause a person to die from overeating. Even the Great Kun of the Northern Sea who was strong could not digest too much at once.
However, Ning Fan could and he still looked like he was far from being full …
"The next dish is Boiled Fish Balls!"
Long Yansheng continued to get busy.
Dishes of fish meals were continuously served to Ning Fan.
Hungry. Very hungry.
He had already eaten a lot of fish meat but the hunger in his stomach did not show any signs of subsiding.
Instead, it became more intense!
In the blink of an eye, there were only eighty-eight traces of Tao Tie's power left in his body.
Then, eighty-seven traces.
Then, eighty-six traces, eighty-five traces, eighty-four traces …
The amount of Tao Tie's power was constantly decreasing.
However, the hunger in his stomach was getting stronger and stronger.
Very soon, Ning Fan finished all the Swallowing Mortal Fish No. 2.
However, he still did not feel the slightest sign of being full.
Thus, he went to the shore of the Fire Quail Pond again and tried to tame a Fire Quail Fish as his pet.
Unfortunately, he still failed to tame it this time.
What he got in return was the Third Swallowing Mortal Fish No. 3's loving mouth.
Then, the Third Swallowing Mortal Fish No. 3 was killed.
"What a pity …"
Although Ning Fan said it was a pity, he still handed the carcass of the Third Swallowing Mortal Fish No. 3 to Long Yansheng for him to cook.
One hour later, Ning Fan also finished the carcass of the Third Swallowing Mortal Fish.
Then, Ning Fan went to the shore again.
After that, the Fourth Swallowing Mortal Fish No. 4 also came to court death …
Then, it was the Fifth Swallowing Mortal Fish No. 5.
Then, it was the Sixth Swallowing Mortal Fish No. 7, No. 8 …
"Perhaps, these Fire Quail Fishes aren't suitable to be raised at all …" Ning Fan said regretfully.
Long Yansheng was shocked!
If he did not remember wrongly, Ning Fan was already eating the Seventh Swallowing Mortal Fish No. 77!
Since Ning Fan caught the fish according to the order of big fish, when it was the Seventh Swallowing Mortal Fish No. 77's turn, it was no longer a big fish.
It was just a medium-sized fish that had just reached adulthood with a body size of ten zhang * (3.33m per zhang).
After finishing this fish, there were no more adult fishes in the pond. The remaining ones were all young fishes that were less than ten zhang * (3.33m per zhang).
There were still a few thousand young fishes. However, even if they were added together, it would still not be enough to fill the gaps between Senior Sai Ning's teeth.
Long Yansheng finally realized that it was impossible for Ning Fan to be full even if he ate a few more fish in the pond. After thinking for a while, Long Yansheng decided to give him some advice.
"Senior, you can't eat anymore …" Long Yansheng advised.
"Don't worry. I'm not full yet."
"That's not the problem. If I continue eating, I'm afraid the young fishes in the pond will go extinct … "
"…" Ning Fan felt a little awkward.
He had been busy eating the fish and did not notice that there were only a group of young fishes left in the pond.
There was an ancient saying. "If you drain the pond to catch the fish, won't you gain something? If there are no fish in the coming year, won't you gain something by burning the pond and turning it into farmland? If there are no beasts in the coming year, won't you gain something? "
Ning Fan understood this logic. Of course, it was impossible for him to eat all the fish in the pond of the Fire Devil Clan.
Even though his stomach was not full yet … It seemed like this meal could only end here.
"If that's the case, I won't eat any more after finishing this fish …"
"Senior is wise!"
Seeing that Ning Fan had listened to his advice, Long Yansheng felt relieved. He cooked the number 77 piece of Swallowing Mortal Fish and put it on a plate in one go.
While Ning Fan was eating the last piece of Swallowing Mortal Fish, he was thinking about where he should go to look for food next.
There were still seventy-one traces of Tao Tie's power in his body. It seemed like he would never be full before he used up all of them.
I still need more food …
"Fellow Daoist, you don't have to worry. There are still other places along the way where you can have your meals." Old Ancestor Nu Luo comforted him.
"I've embarrassed myself in front of Fellow Daoist."
"How is it embarrassing? Fellow Daoist's appetite is amazing. I can't even express my admiration for you … Eh? This vibration … Could it be …"
Old Ancestor Nu Luo who was wearing a smile on her face suddenly noticed something. Her expression changed. Even though she was a Second Level Quasi-Sage, she actually felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy.
Ning Fan also noticed it.
All of a sudden, the magma in the Fire Quail Pond began to churn violently. That kind of churning was not like a storm but more like the movement of a living being.
Countless amounts of magma flew up from the Fire Quail Pond. No. This description is not accurate at all! It was not the magma that flew up. Instead, it was the entire Fire Quail Pond that stood up from the desert as if it had a life of its own.
The Fire Quail Pond was formed by magma. When it stood up like a living being, it looked like a magma monster that was several hundred li * (500m per li) tall.
That magma monster spread its wings and looked down at all living beings with a pair of cold eyes. It had an indescribable majesty!
With just a glance, the entire Quail Fire Palace was instantly engulfed in a boundless sea of fire. That fire could not be extinguished because it was its anger!
"Ya Xi Duo! Xilinado … Ya Xi Duo!" The magma monster yelled angrily.
The people of the Fire Devil Clan immediately exclaimed in shock.
"Not good! The Immortal Flaming Fish has actually awakened today! "
"This is too strange. It has only been five years since the last time it woke up. It should be far from the time of its awakening. Why is this happening?!"
"It's this strange language again. Every time the Immortal Flaming Fish wakes up, it would speak a strange language. What does it mean today?"
"Does the clan leader know about it?"
"I don't know."
"Then what about the experienced and knowledgeable Lady Witch?! Didn't you say that you can communicate with the Immortal Flaming Fish? "
"Erm … Erm … The Immortal Flaming Fish is saying that all of you have eaten too many fish and you must offer more offerings to make up for it. Yes. That's right. "The Lady Witch made up a story.
"I see. It's because we have opened the Fire Quail Pond this time to catch too many fish. That's why the Immortal Flaming Fish was angered …"
"Sigh. Who would have thought that Senior Ning would eat seventy-seven mature fish in a row? No wonder the Immortal Flaming Fish would get angry."
"Don't you want to live anymore?! Don't gossip about Senior Ning. He's a Quasi-Saint! "
"All in all, let's do what the Lady Witch said first. Offer more offerings to the Immortal Flaming Fish to appease its anger!"
"Listening to the Lady Witch's words will never go wrong!"
Thus, in order to appease the Immortal Flaming Fish's anger, the entire Fire Devil Clan became busy. Very soon, they found a large number of earthworms and red worms, planning to offer them to the Immortal Flaming Fish.
In front of the incense burner, the Lady Witch sang and danced, trying to appease the Immortal Flaming Fish's anger through her prayers.
The Lady Witch wore a confident expression as if she would be able to calm the matter down very soon. Even though she did not understand what the Immortal Flaming Fish was saying at all, she did not know why the Immortal Flaming Fish was so angry.
She just secretly guessed that the Immortal Flaming Fish's sudden anger was related to Ning Fan eating too many fish. As for offering more earthworms and red worms to the Immortal Flaming Fish, it was also a solution that she made up.
The real solution was not the earthworms and red worms.
Instead, it was the song of prayers that she created herself.
"Ma mi ma mi ma … Please give me the Spirit Fire Illuminating Talisman … Ma mi ma ma ma … The Fire Quail Pond really works …"
She made up this prayer. That year, she had just become a Lady Witch in the clan. That year was the first time she saw the Immortal Flaming Fish awakening and getting angry.
Before her, there were countless Lady Witches in the Fire Devil Clan. However, all of them died.
Every time the Immortal Flaming Fish awakened, the clan would choose a Lady Witch to appease the Immortal Flaming Fish. However, all of them failed without exception. In the end, they were all eaten by the Immortal Flaming Fish.
Hence, every time the Immortal Flaming Fish became angry, a Lady Witch would be brutally killed.
Only this Lady Witch mysteriously survived and ended the Immortal Flaming Fish's record of killing people.
When she faced the Immortal Flaming Fish for the first time, her heart was filled with despair. She was so scared that she cried! At the moment when she was about to be eaten by the Immortal Flaming Fish, she was so frightened that she cried and screamed. However, a sentence that she inadvertently said unexpectedly calmed the Immortal Flaming Fish's anger.
Ma mi ma ma ma ma ma ma.
It was just a nonsense but it unexpectedly saved her life.
She did not know what kind of special magical power this sentence had.
However, from then on, everyone in the clan believed that she had a way to calm the Immortal Flaming Fish's anger. They believed that she was the number one Lady Witch in history.
After many years, the Immortal Flaming Fish awakened again. She once again stood in front of the Immortal Flaming Fish and chanted the same incantation.
As expected, the Immortal Flaming Fish once again became calm and fell into a long slumber.
When she confirmed that the incantation she invented was effective on the Immortal Flaming Fish, the Lady Witch started to become arrogant and let herself go.
Her status in the clan rose with the tide. She was second only to one and above tens of thousands.
In order to not let others discover the secret of the incantation, she wrote the incantation into a long prayer.
After that, she "repelled" the angry Immortal Flaming Fish countless times and became the undisputed hero of the Fire Devil Clan.
Once again, she unexpectedly discovered that not only was that strange incantation effective on the Immortal Flaming Fish, even the cry of a young girl could harm the Immortal Flaming Fish and make it retreat.
Hence, the Fire Devil Clan had the custom of crying fish.
The Lady Witch herself did not understand the principle behind this. She only knew that the cry of a young girl could calm the Immortal Flaming Fish's anger and make the Fire Quail Fish feel pain.
That was enough.
This time, the Immortal Flaming Fish woke up again. Although it did not wake up according to the usual time limit, it did not matter.
The Lady Witch was full of confidence and calmed the Immortal Flaming Fish down.
"Ma ma ma ma ma ma … Requesting the Spirit Fire Illuminating Talisman … Ma ma ma ma ma … Appearing in the Fire Quail Pond …"
The Lady Witch sang and danced. As expected, when she chanted the incantation, the angry roars of the Magma Monster suddenly stopped.
It was like silence, like longing, like pain. That emotion seemed to be able to infect everything around it, causing the entire Quail Fire Palace to sink into a mountainous and ocean-like sadness.
According to the usual practice, once the incantation was chanted, the Magma Monster would most likely retreat.
But this time, the situation was slightly different.
Although the Immortal Flaming Fish was awakened by the incantation, it did not retreat. Instead, it roared angrily towards the sky.
"Ya Siduo, Silibinado … Ya Siduo!"
"Abado, Abado, Silibinado!"
It roared angrily again.
"Lady Witch, what does this sentence mean?" The Fire Devil Race never lacked curious children.
"Erm … Erm … This sentence is saying that as long as we hand over the person who violated the fishing rules, he will let us go. Moreover, from today onwards, fishing in the Fire Quail Pond must be banned for ten thousand years."
"That can't be right. The Immortal Flaming Fish only said three sentences. Lady Witch, you translated four sentences …"
"That's not the main point! The main point is that we can't hand over Lord Ning! We, the Fire Devils, are born as devils and we will die as flames. What's there to be afraid of? We will never betray our friends! Weeping Fish! Use the Weeping Fish Ritual to deal with the Immortal Flaming Fish and make him retreat! "
The Lady Witch's righteous attitude made the blood of countless Fire Devils boil. They were extremely touched.
That's right! That's right!
Even if today's incident was caused by Senior Ning, they would never hand him over to the Immortal Flaming Fish!
Even if they only had a meal with Senior Ning, they would never compromise with him!
Thus, the young girls who were crying fish earlier gathered again. After some preparation, they began to cry themselves hoarse in the direction of the Magma Monster.
The Lady Witch's face was calm but her palms were secretly sweating.
Something is not right. Something is not right.
In the past, when she chanted the incantation, she would occasionally fail. However, those were only rare cases. Besides, even if the incantation failed to repel the Immortal Flaming Fish in one go, it should be able to calm him down a little.
However, this time, after she finished chanting the incantation, the Magma Monster roared even more furiously!
It actually roared one more sentence!
I can't help but feel that things are getting out of control …
While the Lady Witch was secretly feeling nervous, she suddenly heard the Magma Monster wailing in pain.
She could not help but heave a sigh of relief. The Weeping Fish Ritual finally came in handy.
Based on her past experience, the Immortal Flaming Fish should retreat after feeling pain.
However, the Lady Witch could no longer remain calm.
The Magma Monster's roars became more and more intense. Eventually, it flapped its wings violently towards the group of young girls who were crying.
With the Magma Monster's height of a few hundred li * (500m per li), it was not an exaggeration to say that its wings could reach the sky.
It was just a flap of its wings but the wind pressure it caused was as strong as the attack of a Quasi-Saint!
"This is impossible!" The Lady Witch's face turned ashen.
She was standing beside those young girls who were crying!
She would also be hit by the endless wind pressure!
No! This statement isn't accurate!
The range of the attack was too wide. Not to mention her, everyone here was within the range of the attack!
There was no difference at all!
"Why?! Why didn't the Lady Witch's method work?! "Long Yansheng exclaimed.
With his Immortal Emperor Realm cultivation base, he did not have the confidence to resist the wind pressure of a Quasi-Saint.
Fortunately, he did not need to resist it.
Under the astonished gazes of countless members of the Fire Devil Clan, Ning Fan and Nü Luo attacked at the same time.
Old Ancestor Nü Luo's lotus feet tapped the ground and she flew forward. The circular fan in her hand grew to a size of one hundred zhang * (3.33m per zhang) and she violently fanned it towards the overwhelming wind pressure.
The wind pressure released by the Magma Monster was fiery red while the wind pressure released by Old Ancestor Nü Luo's fan was green.
The green and red wind pressure collided with each other in heaven and earth. The final result was that Old Ancestor Nü Luo was sent flying several thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) away by the wind pressure. When she retreated, she felt a sweetness in her throat and coughed out a mouthful of blood.
This greatly surprised Old Ancestor Nü Luo. It was her first time facing the Immortal Flaming Fish head-on. The Immortal Flaming Fish Ritual was clearly just a casual attack while she used her full strength. However, she actually suffered a slight loss? How is this possible?!
Before Old Ancestor Nü Luo's astonished expression faded, the Magma Monster flapped its gigantic wings again. Wherever the fiery red wind pressure passed, countless grains of sand were burned into magma. Then, the wind pressure approached her again!
"Damn it! How can this monster attack so quickly? Doesn't it need to accumulate magic power at all?!"
Old Ancestor Nü Luo gritted her teeth. Just as she was about to forcefully block this attack, countless gigantic trees suddenly grew out of the barren desert.
The appearance of the gigantic trees was extremely sudden. After all, this place was a desert and there was no way to borrow the power of the wood element at all. It was actually born without any wood!
Even though there was no way to borrow the power of the wood element, those gigantic trees still gave off an unimaginably strong qi. In just an instant, the gigantic trees gathered to form a gigantic shield.
The fiery red wind pressure that was unimaginably hot actually could not burn through that gigantic wooden shield!
That attack which was enough to make her suffer a loss was actually blocked in such a manner that defied common sense.
The person who made the move stood on the towering gigantic tree with a calm expression. He did not suffer any loss from such an attack. Who else could it be other than Ning Fan?
Old Ancestor Nü Luo widened her beautiful eyes!
This is not metaphysics. It's really not metaphysics at all!
Even though that fiery red wind pressure was wind, the source of its power was the word 'fire'.
Among the five elements, wood gave birth to fire. Using wood to fight fire should have given birth to the other party, causing the other party's fire power to increase greatly. The reason why Old Ancestor Nü Luo was at a disadvantage was because she was wood while the magma monster was fire.
However, the reality was that Ning Fan's wood suppressed the other party's fire even though both of them were using wood element abilities.
What happened in front of them had completely exceeded the rules of the five elements. There was only one explanation for it.
Ning Fan's wood and the magma monster's fire were of different levels!
It was just a simple suppression of their levels!
"Explain to me. The reason why this monster is angry is not because of me. Of course, this is not important. Just treat it as me." Ning Fan's calm voice reverberated throughout heaven and earth, reaching everyone's ears.
All of them were stunned.
That female devil was even more stunned on the spot. It can't be, right? This Senior Ning can actually understand that kind of gibberish? How is this possible? That should be an ancient language that has not been recorded in the books of the Falling Tower Palace! It should be an ancient language that even Lord Duo Wen's power cannot understand! How could Senior Ning possibly understand it?!
That's right. Ning Fan understood the language of the magma monster.
Even though he did not know which language the monster was speaking, he could directly understand its meaning through the communication of all living things.
Give her back to me. Give her back to me … Give her back to me!
I can't forget. I can't forget … Give her back to me!
"Even though I don't know who you are and what kind of past you have, since you attacked the Fire Devil Clan, I can't just sit by and watch."
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with ruthlessness.
He had eaten seventy-seven fishes of the Fire Devil Clan. Of course, he should repay them a little.
