Chapter 47: Grilled Fish
Zhou Chen has also experienced a lot, and he can pick up a treasure as easily as today, but there are not a few times. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He originally jumped off the red spring and dived to catch two red-eyed carp. He did find the target he wanted when he went down to a certain depth.
He relied on his incomparably accurate soul exploration ability to avoid several underwater beasts, and after killing two more, he finally found a hole hidden behind the aquatic plants, and there happened to be two red-eyed carp inside.
Zhou Chen first lured the two big fish out of the hole, and then relied on a dagger to kill them without danger, and then when he was about to return with one hand, he inadvertently found that in the deepest part of the hole that was the nest of the red-eyed carp, there was a faint red light.
Soon, Zhou Chen took out a thumb-sized red stone from inside, which was more like a crystal to be precise.
It was translucent and crimson, and as soon as Zhou Chen's hand touched it, he felt that there was an extremely considerable fire attribute aura in it.
Aura is Zhou Chen's name, and in the Soul Martial Continent, it is directly called "Qi", and it is also divided into various attributes.
The martial artists of this world, the internal qi practiced by using the exercises, and the same kind that Zhou Chen practiced with martial arts. But the exercises of this world are different from the internal skills of the martial arts world after all. The internal strength of the martial arts world can only be refined by itself, but many exercises in this world can also absorb the qi between heaven and earth.
This point is close to the immortal cultivation method of "Heaven and Earth Cultivation Qigong", but the efficiency is far less than the latter, and it mainly relies only on the martial artist's own gathering of qi, so the achievement is also limited, and it cannot be compared with the practice of truly absorbing the aura of heaven and earth to cultivate.
It is precisely for this reason that the mainstream cultivation system of the Soul Martial Continent is by no means "Qi refining", let alone "body refining", it can only be "soul refining" that is closely related to the martial soul.
The red spar that Zhou Chen obtained contained a large amount of fire-attribute aura, and if it was placed in the hands of the martial artists of this world, it could run exercises to absorb cultivation, but the efficiency was very low, and there would be a lot of loss and waste in the process.
This is a tyrannical thing.
It may seem to others that the efficiency is extremely normal, but Zhou Chen has the "Heaven and Earth Nourishing Qigong" that does not belong to this world, and if he gets this spade, he can quickly absorb it and use it to improve his cultivation.
"It's worse than the best spirit stone, but it's definitely higher than the top grade spirit stone, and this piece is enough for me to finish the second layer of "Heaven and Earth Nourishing Qigong". ”
Pingbai got the spar so quickly, although it was an unexpected joy, Zhou Chen was not too excited.
Originally, according to his plan, he focused on practicing "Heaven and Earth Nourishing Qigong" after worshipping the Yanyun Sect, and the aura of heaven and earth in this world was rich enough, and he was confident that it would only take more than ten years to break through to the Great Immortal.
With the help of the hedrons, the time he spent could be shortened by a few years at once. But it's only been a few years, Zhou Chen is happy, but he won't be excited. After all, he has lived for hundreds of years.
So after the spar was acquired, he was very calm, and after keeping it close to him, he dragged the two big fish back.
The size and weight of the red-eyed carp are about the same as that of an adult, and it is even more difficult to drag one by one, still in the water.
But Zhou Chen is not an ordinary person, he is still relaxed.
His underwater skills were originally strong, and after passing through the martial arts world, he learned the deepest breathing and breathing, as well as special breath-holding or ventilation kung fu such as "Turtle Breath Gong" and "Rotten Wood Sutra", as well as special light skills used in water such as "Leaping Dragon Gate" and "Jiaolong Entering the Sea".
With all these things added together, Zhou Chen's confidence underwater can be said to have swelled to the extreme.
If he was allowed to duel it out underwater with the masters of the year, such as Emperor Shakti, Sword Master, and Zhang Zhenren, he dared to say that even if he didn't use all kinds of hole cards, he would definitely be able to take their lives within twenty moves.
So until now, it has been a long time since Zhou Chen dived, and he is still relaxed and indifferent, and he doesn't need to go up to breathe at all. This is only the limitation of his current physique and skill, if he breaks through the innate and then completely practices the "Yi Jin Pulp Washing Skill", he can even stay underwater for ten days and a half months.
Of course, Zhou Chen can't do this now, and he doesn't have this idea, he has already met the conditions for the second level assessment, and it's time to go up.
I didn't see how his legs swam, but he rose very fast, and it didn't take long for a person to appear within the range of his soul.
It's not a fierce beast, it's a martial artist, Zhou Chen judged it at once.
He simply opened his eyes, and sure enough, the red depth of the spring water was much better than below, Zhou Chen could barely see the other party clearly, and sure enough, he judged that he was a martial artist.
The other party obviously also discovered Zhou Chen, that person was very cautious, and he seemed to be about to dive, but after seeing Zhou Chen, he stopped and deliberately dodged to the side, which was waiting for Zhou Chen to go up first.
Zhou Chen was not polite, and took advantage of the situation to pass by this person and continue upstream.
And when the two staggered, because the distance was shortened, the red spring water was not enough to block the sight, so that Zhou Chen could see the other party's appearance clearly, it was actually Gu Lei.
However, this was not enough to surprise Zhou Chen, and soon he was far away from Gu Lei's sight.
"It's him?"
Gu Lei also recognized Zhou Chen.
At first, he thought he had encountered a fierce beast, but when he got closer, he realized that the huge shadow was actually formed by a man with two big fish.
"Those two are red-eyed carp, I didn't expect him to complete the conditions so quickly, and I have to do it as soon as possible." ”
Zhou Chen gave him too many surprises, Gu Lei kept refreshing his senses for Zhou Chen, but he still readjusted his mood, and he was also on the return trip, ready to go up to rest and come down again.
"There are more and more people coming down, time is pressing, if there is really no way, you can only launch the Black Panther Martial Spirit underwater. ”
Gu Lei was still cautious during his ascent, and he still avoided some other warriors who were coming and diving.
Crash!
Eventually, he emerged from the water safe and sound.
Dragging his panting body out of the red spring, he found a stone and sat down.
There were a lot of warriors around, and it seemed that only half of them had already jumped off the mountain. These people who dared to decide to jump in a short period of time and give them action obviously have their own abilities, so so far, not a single casualty has appeared.
"I don't think half of them came down. ”
Gu Lei gasped and looked up.
The silhouette of the towering mountain is faintly visible, but the further up the line of sight becomes, the more blurred it becomes, all because of the red mist. So that those above can't see the bottom clearly, and vice versa, Gu Lei's gaze can't see through the fog to see the upper half of the peak.
Moreover, even if there was no fog to obstruct him, Gu Lei's eyes could not see the crowd at the top. Red Tide Peak is the first peak of Fengming Mountain, and its height is not a joke, and the range of vision that normal people can see clearly is not so long-term at all.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Gu Lei's nose wrinkled, and he smelled a fragrance.
He looked in the direction of the fragrance and saw the scene of Zhou Chen grilling fish.
"Hahaha, Brother Zhou, you are really amazing, you hit two red-eyed carp at one time, but unfortunately I can't eat it anymore. ”
Zhou Chen was too lazy to spend any more time setting up a fire, so he directly used Xuanyuan Zhe to set up the one.
Xuanyuan Zhe ate quickly, and after a while of Zhou Chen's efforts in the water, he had already eaten up the fish he had made.
Zhou Chen had gone through a dive and had spent a bit of physical strength, so he happened to have an appetite and simply used his fire to grill the fish.
As the examiner, the woman surnamed Yan seemed to know Xuanyuan Zhe, and sat face-to-face with the latter by a fire at the beginning. When she saw Zhou Chen coming out of the water and dragging a big fish with one hand, she inevitably showed surprise, and secretly said that this young man from the ancient family really has some skills, no wonder he can communicate with Xuanyuan Zhe on an equal footing.
The condition for passing the second level is to give her two red-eyed carp, Zhou Chen walked up to her, and she explained that as long as the two eyeballs of the red-eyed carp were handed to her, the fish body could be kept for herself.
When Zhou Chen heard this, he used a dagger to dig out the four eyeballs of the two fish, and after handing them to the woman surnamed Yan, the latter actually stretched out his hand, and the golden jade-inlaid bracelet he was wearing on it flashed, and he took away the four eyeballs.
Storage bracelets!
This time it was Zhou Chen's turn to be surprised, but it was only slightly, and he didn't have any ideas, because in Gu Qi's memory, he already knew that there were space items in this world.
After handing over the four red fish eyeballs, Zhou Chen passed the second level of assessment. Similarly, Jia'er also passed, and the woman surnamed Yan didn't say anything about it, obviously acquiescing to Zhou Chen's approach.
Then there was nothing to do with him, and he could leisurely watch how the other martial artists worked hard.
Zhou Chen began to process the two red-eyed carp, and began to pick the scales, open the belly, and take the internal organs......
The value of the red-eyed carp seems to lie in the two eyeballs, so Zhou Chen can't look at anything else, although those fish scales seem to be good materials, but they are also thrown into the fire by him as fuel.
Zhou Chen's speed of processing the fish was very fast, and it didn't take much effort to put the fish on the fire, and the two of them were grilled together.
The red-eyed carp is a fierce beast of fire, and its scales can indeed be used as a high-quality combustion, after the fish scales are added to the fire, the fire suddenly rises a lot, and it seems that it will not take much time to roast two large fish.
After setting up the two fish, he asked Jia'er to take out a bottle of seasoning powder that had been placed on her, twisted the stopper, and sprinkled it on the grilled fish.
At this moment, the aroma of the grilled fish became a lot heavier, and it began to spread out, causing many warriors present to look sideways, including Gu Lei.
"Ouch, Brother Zhou, what kind of powder did you sprinkle just now, why is it so fragrant?"
Xuanyuan Zhe had already eaten enough, and his stomach was bulging after eating too much, so he sat down by the fire and stroked his bulging belly, not wanting to move.
But when Zhou Chen started grilling the fish and used the bottle of seasoning powder again, he suddenly bounced up from the half-lying position, and the hara ran down from his mouth.
"This is the seasoning powder I matched. ”
Zhou Chen felt that this Xuanyuan Zhe was asking nonsense, but he still replied.
When he came to participate in the election conference, Zhou Chen didn't bring much stuff, and he didn't bring much dry food, so he planned to hunt with local materials when he was hungry. Then Zhou Chen didn't want to eat too badly, so he bought some spices and spicy powder, etc., and made a small bottle by himself for simple seasoning.
And because of Zhou Chen's high cooking skills, the seasoning powder prepared at will is enough to achieve good results. Xuanyuan Zhe had never tried this kind of powder, so he was seduced all of a sudden, which made him greedy for a while.
"Okay, Brother Zhou, I didn't expect you to have this hand. No wonder I gave this little sister fish just now, she said she didn't eat it with a disgusted face, it turned out to be a grilled fish waiting for you to make. ”
Xuanyuan Zhe swallowed his saliva and continued: "Brother Zhou, you definitely can't finish these two fish, why don't you divide them with me?" Just a small piece for me to taste, anyway, I have already eaten one, and I can't eat more." ”
"It's yours. ”
Zhou Chen grilled two fish of that size, but his own body size was a teenager, and with Jia'er, it seemed that he couldn't finish it.
But in fact, Zhou Chen's physique is different, and the amount of food is also different, as long as he is willing, he can eat up the two fish, not reluctant at all.
But now, thinking that when she went into the water, Jia'er was on the shore, although she didn't say it, but Xuanyuan Zhe also played a role in protecting her, and gave him a fish as a reward. Although the reward seems a bit cheap.
"Haha, you're welcome!"
Xuanyuan Zhe said, and directly reached out to tear the grilled fish, and directly ripped off a large piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
Indeed, because the fish scales fueled the fire, the grilled fish was basically cooked in a short period of time, so Zhou Chen had also begun to cut the fish meat with a dagger.
first gave a piece to Jia'er next to him, and then feasted on it himself.
And from beginning to end, the woman surnamed Yan, who was also sitting on the edge of the fire, did not say a word.
Her gaze did not focus on Zhou Chen and Xuanyuan Zhe, but drifted away, observing the other martial artists.
Jumping down from Zhou Chen, he entered the red spring and dragged the two red-eyed carp up, and it was only not long after that, so the assessment of this second level actually started.
Xuanyuan Zhe, who can quickly pass the assessment, and Zhou Chen, who got two fish at once, are special cases.
The rest of the warriors were considered normal, and they began to think of ways one by one, racking their brains to try their best to catch a red-eyed carp.
The area around the red spring is a large open space with lots of red stones.
Except for the fire on Zhou Chenxuanyuan Zhe's side that occupied a large area, the other warriors were also scattered in twos and threes, and some were alone.
These people are not just sitting, but they are busy preparing.
Some people are tied to the rope lock, trying to take turns with their companions to go into the water, and when they go into the water, they let another person hold the rope lock, so that when they are difficult to breathe underwater, they can pull the rope lock hard, so that the companion can pull hard to achieve the effect of rapid rise. In this way, you can ensure that you can focus most of your energy underwater, rather than fearing to save the strength of the return trip at any time.
As for some lone wanderers, without the help of their peers, they can only rely on themselves.
