Chapter 699 701 Sword Scale Fish

"Okay!" Ning Qingyun smiled brightly, raised his gun and shot in the direction behind him. With a "bang", a loud noise was heard, as if something fell to the ground. Rong Xianxian and Ning Qingyun went over in the direction of the sound, used a knife to push away the bushes and dense branches, and saw a monster covered with thick bone armor lying on the ground. Rong Xianxian carefully sensed it and confirmed that the monster was dead.

"Killed with one shot!" Rong Xianxian looked at Ning Qingyun in surprise.

The monster Ning Qingyun killed was a rhinoceros-armored beast, with the strength of the peak level three. This kind of monster not only had a high defense level, but was also agile. Even if Rong Xianxian was familiar with the anatomical locations of the internal organs of various monsters and monsters, there was no guarantee that she could kill it within a few rounds without using mental attacks and poisons.

Ning Qingyun showed a smile on his face. His intuition that he could sense his opponent's fatal weakness was still there. Although his soul was tortured by the thunder and was in a weak state, his spiritual sense, that is, his ability to sense the state of things around him, was abnormally much stronger than before.

The two were hunting nearby, but had to stop because Ning Qingyun had a headache. They came to the pool under the waterfall, which had a wide view and was well connected, making it a good place to stay.

The headache was not that severe now, and Ning Qingyun did not want to take painkillers to suppress the pain, so he sat cross-legged and practiced the "Soul-Yunjing Sutra". After several attempts, he found that practicing the Soul-Yunjing Sutra could alleviate the pain of soul refining.

While Ning Qingyun was meditating and practicing, Rong Xianxian was not idle either. She used Qiansi to catch a few palm-length fish with light red scales on their backs and put them in a bucket. She had eaten this kind of fish when she came here to scout the area before. It had very few scales, no spines, and tasted especially delicious. Although the fish were not big, they were very agile, there were not many of them, and they were very good at jumping, so they were not easy to catch. Rong Xianxian was busy for half an hour and only caught a few.

Next, Rong Xianxian deboned and skinned the prey, selected the parts with the most tender meat, the best taste and the most spiritual energy, washed them, cut them into small pieces, marinated them, and prepared to grill them.

When Ning Qingyun came back to his senses after finishing his practice, he smelled a strong aroma of food. He looked over and saw Rong Xianxian fanning the hot charcoal fire beside him. Above the charcoal fire were strings of shiny red grilled meat. From time to time, shiny fat oozed out of the surface of the grilled meat and dripped into the charcoal fire, emitting a burst of white smoke and a sizzling sound.

"Come and take a look. I caught some fish. How do you want to eat them?" Rong Xianxian called out when she saw Ning Qingyun waking up after finishing his practice.

As they were talking, there was a crackling sound coming from the half-meter-high bucket next to Rong Xianxian. The lid on the bucket was banging against the wall. It was hard to imagine that these were caused by a few small fish the size of a palm. The last time Rong Xianxian caught the fish, she killed them and roasted them for food. She didn't expect the fish to be so strong that it overturned the bucket and almost escaped back into the pond. She poured out the water in the bucket, reinforced the bucket with talismans, and covered it with a layer of ice. Now it seems that the ice has been shattered.

Ning Qingyun opened the lid with some curiosity. "This... is a wild swordfish. This kind of fish is very rare. Hey, this one actually has whiskers!"

"Have you eaten it before? This fish looks strange, but it tastes very good! How do you want to eat it? Fry, steam, boil or bake?" Rong Xianxian said.

Ning Qingyun swallowed unconsciously, "Although I know that this fish tastes really delicious, but in addition to the meat, this fish has something more precious. Look at its scales. Although there are not many, they are like sword edges. This fish got its name because of the special shape of its scales. This kind of scales has a great heat dissipation effect. The higher the temperature, the stronger the toughness. It is widely used in high-tech fields. Unfortunately, this fish takes a very long time to mature and is difficult to reproduce. Moreover, because of its delicious taste, most of them are hunted before maturity and later almost became extinct."

“This fish is so hard to catch, how could it become extinct?”

"Difficult to catch is relative. As long as humans want to eat it, they can think of any way. This one has grown whiskers, and the scales on the backs of the other few are almost grown. This is a sign that the sword-scale fish has entered maturity. Don't you have a small river in your space? Raise them quickly. You will definitely need them in the future. Once there are more fish, it will be easier to eat them." Ning Qingyun said.

"Okay then!" Rong Xianxian waved her hand, put the bucket into the foggy space, and poured the fish into the river.

In order to eat fish, Rong Xianxian used her spiritual sense to search the pond, but did not find a single fish.

Even without fish, Ning Qingyun still ate to his heart's content. Xianxian's cooking was delicious. After dinner, it was already dark. Rong Xianxian and Ning Qingyun discussed and decided to go to the capital to pick up the child and do some errands. She brought Ning Qingyun into the foggy space and used the spiritual energy that had just been restored to activate the rune teleportation mirror. The runes on the back of the mirror lit up, and the range of the light became larger and larger, gradually covering Rong Xianxian. Then the light suddenly shrank, and the next moment, Rong Xianxian had appeared in the room of the two children in the Flame Mercenary Group's team base in the capital's safe zone.

After Rong Xianxian activated the rune teleportation mirror, the small mirrors in the hands of the two children also reacted, so the two children were very happy to see Rong Xianxian suddenly appear.

"Mom, is Dad awake? Where is Dad? Are we going out hunting together?" Xuanxuan asked repeatedly. Every time Dad woke up, it was a moment for their family to reunite.

It has been nearly three years since the end of the world. The two children are now six and eight years old. They have grown a lot taller and have become much more mature mentally. Only in front of Rong Xianxian do they reveal an innocent and romantic look.

Ning Qingyun came out from behind Rong Xianxian, and Xuanxuan excitedly rushed over and hugged his waist, "Dad! I missed you so much!"

"I haven't seen Xuanxuan for a month. It seems she has grown taller and has become a big girl." Ning Qingyun said with some emotion.

"Okay, you two are exaggerating. We just met last month. Xuanxuan and Xiaoluo continue with your homework. Your father and I will go out to do something." Rong Xianxian patted Xiaoluo on the shoulder.

Although Xiao Luo was young, he was the one who made the decisions. He nodded and called Xuan Xuan, "Sister, come and do your homework!"

"Mom and Dad, please come back soon!" Xuanxuan urged.

When Rong Xianxian and Ning Qingyun came out of the child's room, they saw Chang Qing and Ming Yan waiting outside. "How come you came so quickly?" Rong Xianxian asked in surprise.

"We just came here to discuss something with Captain Feng. We rushed here as soon as we received your message!" Chang Qing replied.
