In the Desolate Wastelands, Miao Yi was sitting cross-legged in his cave, feeling a little troubled. He wasn't in the mood to cultivate.
After this incident, he was truly shocked by the strength of the Skyair Palace. It was precisely because of this that he was vexed. Their help wasn't for nothing. They wanted him to pay the price, and the price was the current situation in the Ancient Desolate Wastelands.
But he didn't know what was going on. For safety's sake, he had been hiding in the cave and didn't run around at all. Could it be that they were going to tell the Skyair Palace about what they saw after entering? It would be weird if they didn't think that you were messing with them. Only a ghost would help you in the future. Since it was a 'trade', it had to be fair. You shouldn't just think about taking advantage of them. Besides, was it really that easy to take advantage of the Skyair Palace?
He wanted to pay the price, but how could he run around in this godforsaken place? Before coming here, someone had told him not to run around as there was something inside that he couldn't afford to offend.
Should he go back on his word or take the risk? So! What a dilemma!
Back then, when he agreed to teach Wudao a lesson, he felt good. Now that he had to pay the price, he realized the consequences of his impulsiveness.
While he was at a loss, Charcoal, who was in the lake outside the cave, was also at a loss. He had already swum to the exit of the upper reaches of the lake, and could only watch helplessly as the group of wraiths transformed into white fish retreated out of the lake.
His luck this time was really bad. He had eaten too much last time, so he slept a little longer than usual. When he opened his eyes after dozing off, he realized that the sky was about to brighten. Charcoal immediately became anxious.
After staying here for a period of time, Charcoal also knew that the fish would only come at night and leave at dawn. Once they left, it meant that they wouldn't be able to eat another fish for a full ten days.
It quickly jumped out of the cave and rushed into the lake to search everywhere, but it caught a few tails and only managed to catch two. After that, it chased to its current position and hesitated.
He wouldn't be able to eat for ten days!
Charcoal, who was wriggling in the water, suddenly rushed out. He rushed upstream, which was also the exit of the lake, intending to chase after the Vengeful Spirit White Fish.
However, he quickly stopped himself. In the end, he remembered Miao Yi's warning and was afraid that Miao Yi would teach him a lesson later.
He wouldn't be able to eat for ten days!
Charcoal slowly floated to the surface. He poked his head out and observed the river. It was very calm and peaceful. There was no sign of danger. What could possibly happen? He would sneak out for a meal and come back when he was full. The owner probably wouldn't know.
Like master, like mount. In some aspects, Charcoal and Miao Yi's personalities were similar; they were both easily impulsive.
Charcoal's eyes darted around twice before he turned around to look at the direction of the cave. Seeing that Miao Yi wasn't making any movements, it figured that Miao Yi wouldn't notice that it had run far away. It immediately dove into the water and quickly chased after the Vengeful Spirit White Fish.
After chasing along the river for a long distance, they finally caught up with the school of fish. The shoals of fish had also arrived at their nest. Their nest was in another lake, a huge lake that stretched as far as the eye could see. The nest of the vengeful spirit white fish was at the bottom of the dark lake. There were undulating mountains at the bottom of the lake, and there were honeycomb-like holes of various sizes.
Charcoal had caught up. The vengeful spirit white fish immediately panicked and scattered in all directions. One by one, they dove into the honeycomb-like holes.
Charcoal's vision didn't seem to be affected by the darkness at the bottom of the lake. He immediately chased after the vengeful spirit white fish's nest. However, his body was too big and he couldn't fit into the holes. He crawled on the bottom of the lake and clung onto the honeycomb-like holes with his four claws. He shook his head left and right, peeking through the holes.
The depths of the honeycomb-like holes were empty, and there was a lot of space inside. There were also a dozen large vengeful spirit white fish. Each one was the size of a normal person. It seemed that because they were too big, they were trapped inside and couldn't go out to look for food. Thus, they treated their own kind as food. With a single gulp, they devoured a small one of their own. Meanwhile, the smaller vengeful spirit white fish were indifferent to their own kind being devoured, allowing the bigger ones to eat them.
Charcoal slowly shook his head and observed through the holes. He was getting impatient. Just one of those huge vengeful spirit white fish would be enough to fill his stomach.
He stuck one of his claws into the hole and pulled forcefully. He discovered that the mountain rocks under the water were very hard, but he still managed to tear a hole with brute force. Then, he used both his claws and quickly dug out a hole big enough for him to crawl through. He forcefully broke through the hole and squeezed in.
The moment he entered the vengeful spirit white fish's nest, it was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. The small fish that had just settled down inside were so frightened that they scattered in all directions once more. They escaped through the holes once more.
Charcoal couldn't be bothered with them. If they ran, then so be it. What he was interested in now were the dozen or so large fish. He bared his fangs and brandished his claws as he pounced towards them.
Those large fish were also very fierce. Seeing that something had intruded into their nest, they immediately opened their saw-like mouths and rushed over in a fawning manner.
Boom! A series of muffled sounds rang out in the water. Charcoal was knocked to a stop, and the dozen or so large fish were knocked over.
Charcoal's eyes darted around, as if he was a little surprised by the attack power of these large fish. The dozen or so large fish turned around and surrounded him again.
Charcoal simply floated in the water without moving, allowing the dozen or so large fish to ram into his body. When the dozen or so large fish saw that they couldn't do much to him, they immediately surrounded Charcoal and opened their saw-like teeth to bite him. Unfortunately, Charcoal's skin was tough and his flesh was thick. The scales on his body weren't that easy to bite through. However, these large fish were very fierce and wouldn't let go once they'd bitten him.
With a sizzling sound, Charcoal floated motionlessly in the water. Suddenly, arcs of electricity appeared on his body, illuminating the situation in the cave.
The dozen or so large fish that refused to let go of Charcoal were electrocuted. They swayed left and right, swaying in a daze as they lost their balance and swam about randomly.
The electricity suddenly disappeared. Charcoal also moved in a flash. With a few swipes of his claws, he immediately broke the heads of four of the large fish. With a single bite, he crushed the head of another large fish. After that, he grabbed one of the four dead fish with each of his claws. Dragging the five large fish, he elegantly turned around and crawled out of the hole he'd created.
He didn't kill the other large fish that had been electrocuted into a mess. He couldn't finish all of them in one go, and he didn't have the time to waste here. He was afraid that if he left for too long, Miao Yi would discover him.
Following the river, he quickly returned while wagging his tail.
Returning to the lake from before, Charcoal dragged all five fish to the entrance of the cave. He even dragged the one in his mouth into the cave and threw it in front of the bed Miao Yi was sitting on.
Sitting on the bed, Miao Yi was taken aback. He chuckled and said, "You caught the big one? Forget it. You should keep it for yourself and slowly enjoy it. I don't have the fortune to enjoy such a thing. "
Seeing that he didn't accept it, Charcoal sneezed. Since he didn't appreciate it, then he wouldn't hold back either. He took a bite and dragged it to the entrance of the cave. He lay there and slowly enjoyed it. His demeanor was carefree and delicious. He ate slowly, not in a hurry.
He had already discovered the nest of the Vengeful Spirit White Fish. In the future, he wouldn't have to worry about whether it was day or night. He could go and eat whenever the sun rose. There wasn't any danger anyway.
The five fish ate five full meals. After they were full, they slept, and when they woke up, they ate again. It was clear that it wasn't without reason that Charcoal was as fat as a pig.
However, he decided that he wouldn't catch so many next time. It wouldn't be fresh and the taste wouldn't be good.
When he finished his fifth fish and was about to continue his nap, Miao Yi walked out of the cave and looked at him curiously. It seemed like this guy had been staying at the entrance of the cave for a long time. He hadn't heard him go out to play for many days. Instead, the sound of him napping had lasted for a long time.
Miao Yi looked at the sky outside with his hands behind his back, then looked at Charcoal. He asked curiously, "It's getting dark. Aren't you going to the lake to catch some fish to eat?"
"I'm full!" Charcoal subconsciously replied with a lazy voice. He then laid back down and went back to sleep.
This sudden sound startled Miao Yi. He pulled out the Inversed-Scales Spear and quickly scanned his surroundings. He didn't even notice someone approaching him.
However, he quickly realized something. His entire body froze, and he slowly turned around to look at Charcoal lying on the ground. He was dumbfounded.
Charcoal seemed to have come to his senses as well. He seemed to be a little scared of himself as well. His eyes were wide open as he stared at Miao Yi. He seemed to be filled with disbelief as he stared at Miao Yi.
After staring at each other in bewilderment for a long time, Miao Yi tried asking, "Fat thief. Were you the one who spoke just now?"
Charcoal's eyes slowly darted around. He didn't dare to be sure.
Miao Yi's face gradually revealed a look of surprise. He kicked him and said, "That's right. You were definitely the one who spoke just now. Quick! Say it again and try. "
Charcoal flipped over and got up. His eyes were filled with hesitation and uncertainty. He opened his mouth a few times and sneezed a few times. However, he couldn't speak the human language.
He also realized that the snort just now was indeed his own doing. He had casually blurted out the human language. Now that he was being asked to speak the human language, he couldn't say it out loud.
Miao Yi raised his eyebrows. He decided to help him out. He slowly raised the spear in his hand.
Charcoal was shocked. He realized what he wanted to do. He slowly retreated and said, "What are you trying to do?"
As soon as he said this, the man and the steed stared at each other blankly.
Soon, Miao Yi revealed a knowing smile and said, "As expected, you can speak the human language now. Looks like you still need my help!" As soon as he said this, the spear in his hand shot out like lightning.
"No!" Charcoal cried out in fear. He quickly jumped away. No matter how tough his skin was, he couldn't withstand the stab of the high-purity Red Crystal Spear.
"Haha!" Miao Yi's spear stopped in its tracks. He stood at the entrance of the cave and laughed.
After jumping away and landing on the ground, Charcoal was excited. He spun around and anxiously scratched the ground with his four claws. "I … I … I can really speak?" The voice was loud and clear. It was a man's voice.
Miao Yi was extremely happy. He put away the Inversed-Scales Spear and walked over. He clicked his tongue in wonder and said, "Fat thief. Quick, tell me. What's going on? Why can you suddenly speak?"
Charcoal was extremely excited. "I … I … I don't know either."
Miao Yi looked at his surroundings, deep in thought. He didn't know if it was because of the environment here. This place was the sacred land of the Dragon Clan and was suitable for the Dragon Clan to cultivate. Charcoal was a half-dragon. Perhaps it was because of this place. However, it was only a guess. He couldn't be sure yet.
When he came back to his senses, he waved at Charcoal and smiled. "Don't keep saying 'I, I, I, I'. Try something new. Let's see if you can speak normally."
