As for why they sold monster meat to Shi Chonglou, the reason is quite simple.

Besides improving their skills, they can also enjoy a good meal.

Why not?

Compared to barbecue, Shi Chonglou's cooking style suited Li Fan's taste much better.

The only pity is that the monsters that crossed the border were not of the dragon or phoenix type.

Otherwise, you might get to taste the flavors of dragon liver and phoenix marrow.

Of course, it's just a thought.

If such creatures were to actually appear, Li Fan would have to consider whether he could handle them.

If we weren't the opponent, we'd probably just be left to gnaw at.

......

Soon, Li Fan hovered above the whirlpool in the center of the lake.

The lakebed is both a spatial rift that leads to other worlds and a natural cold storage facility.

Most of the monster corpses he killed were stored inside.

Let's just grab something light today!

Li Fan didn't hesitate for long before falling directly into the vortex.

......

The seabed is not dark.

Huge corpses, radiating energy.

These energies intertwine on the seabed, transforming into various colors.

If someone could take in the entire view, it would be a painting in itself.

Of course, the scenery in the painting is not complete.

These corpses, standing silently in the vortex, are all missing something, more or less.

The first monster corpse Li Fan encountered after diving into the sea was a colorful eel.

According to the current mainstream classification of realms, it is roughly equivalent to the third level of Earth Immortal.

In terms of strength, it is no match for those monsters that came from other realms.

However, in terms of taste, the meat of this thing melts in your mouth.

You're the one!

Li Fan reached out and grasped a long, jet-black sword.

The long sword, of course, is for annihilation.

Before self-destructing, he threw Zhumi and Hupo back.

These two knives were not lost.

Instead, it lies dormant at the bottom of the sea, keeping itself company.

This was no coincidence. A name flashed through Li Fan's mind—Gu Nianjin.

Of course, it only flashed by for a moment.

laugh--

The black blade sliced ​​through, leaving a clean cut.

The body of the rainbow eel was shorter than expected.

If every interdimensional monster were the size of the Seven-Colored Eel, Li Fan thought to himself as he prepared to leave.

......

Tianshui Lake is of unknown depth.

No one knows how many monstrous beasts lurk beneath the calm surface of this lake.

In the center of the lake is a huge whirlpool.

Looking down from the sky, the vortex appears to be still.

At this moment, nearly a hundred dark shadows appeared beneath the surface of the lake to the northwest of the whirlpool.

These dark shapes resemble swimming fish, with the smallest of them being roughly the size of a whale.

But these shadowy figures are not whales, because they all have scales on their bodies.

If I had to describe it, it would probably be a carp the size of a whale.

The leader, Magikarp, is not only exaggerated in size, but also in appearance.

Especially the bulges on the top of the head, which looked like huge tumors.

"Your Majesty, I...are we really going to the middle of the lake?"

Five days ago, the King of the Sea died there.

An unspeakable fear rose among the fish demons.

The King of the Sea, one of the seven overlords of Tianshui Lake.

His cultivation level had already advanced to the Earth Immortal realm.

In this Tianshui Lake, it is undoubtedly one of the dominant powers.

Of course, this only applies to Tianshui Lake.

"The bold get rich, the timid starve!"

I observed for a long time, and that person only came once every ten days.

With only half the time remaining, this is a rare opportunity for us.

Whether our people can rise to power depends on this moment.

Magikarp's eyes shone brightly.

Starting from scratch, it gave its all to lead its people to establish themselves at Tianshui Lake.

But the constraints of bloodline stand like an insurmountable chasm in front of us.

No matter how much it struggles, it cannot cross that invisible dragon gate.

To advance, it must rely on external forces.

The flesh and blood of a high-ranking demon beast is undoubtedly the best choice.

It might not have the guts to conquer the superior races.

But it would still have the guts to steal corpses.

Rush in, eat and drink your fill before that person returns, then slip away and digest the power within your flesh and blood.

With his own digestive abilities, he only needs to repeat the process three times to break through the shackles and become an earth immortal.

Once someone becomes an Earth Immortal, their status within their clan will undergo a dramatic change.

At least, in this Tianshui Lake, they will become members of the top of the food chain.

......

On Tianshui Lake, a small boat moves swiftly like an arrow.

Two women stood one in front of the other on the small boat.

The former, wearing a red dress, stood with her hands behind her back.

The latter looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, with her hair in a bun.

"Senior Sister, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Master said we shouldn't meddle in other people's business...

Yan Lingyan whispered a reminder.

"Who told you I was going to meddle?"

Jiang Yue countered with a question.

"Didn't you go down the mountain to stop Su Muzhe and Kou Huai'an from their duel?"

Yan Lingyan's voice suddenly rose.

"Ling Yan, aren't you the one who truly wants to stop this battle?"

Jiang Yue looked at Yan Lingyan with a half-smile.

"No way!"

Yan Lingyan quickly shook her head.

"Lingyan, you are indeed not a qualified direct descendant of the Yan family."

"Among the Yan family, who is as shameless as you!"

Jiang Yue joked with a smile.

"Senior Sister~, please stop making fun of me!"

Yan Lingyan clutched her skirt and explained to herself, "I just think it's really not worth it for them to fight over those few dead scumbags!"

"Alright, stop overthinking it."

Once we get to Tianshui City, I, the senior disciple, will personally take care of those two guys and beat them to a pulp. They'll naturally behave then!

Jiang Yue spoke with great confidence.

The fact that her name is not included in the Fish and Dragon Ranking does not mean that she is weak.

She's not famous because she's too lazy to move around.

Since Su Muzhe and Kou Huai'an had both come to Tianshui City, Jiang Yue naturally wouldn't be polite.

......

“Big...big...king.

I...I...I think I saw...I saw someone!

From the center of the whirlpool, amidst the swarm of fish demons, came intermittent sounds.

Dazzling beams of light shot from the corpses of various monsters, illuminating the area where the carp demon clan was located.

"Shut up, you idiot."

Pretend we're mindless wild beasts who accidentally wandered in here!

Although Magikarp was terrified, it still managed to roll its eyes.

That way, I won't be able to see him anymore.

He probably won't even notice me!

"You're the one!"

Magikarp's prayers were, of course, useless.

Li Fan noticed it when it led its pack into the area.

Let's leave this carp to Xiao Sun!

Oh no, we're doomed.

Magikarp realized something was wrong, and its two dark eyes appeared.

A mist covered her eyes, from which crystal-clear tears flowed.

"Your Majesty, spare my life!"

The youngest son had an eighty-year-old mother, and it took thirty-six concubines in the family to have their sixty-sixth child.

My whole family is counting on me to support them, please, please let me go!

Magikarp racked his brains and finally found a passage.

It was deeply moved when the person it ate said those words ten years ago.

If it hadn't only eaten half its fill, it would have even been prepared to let the person go.

Then, it died.

Li Fan carried the Magikarp and flew towards Tianshui City.

Of course, the complete demon corpse could not be handed over to Shichonglou.

That would be attracting far too much attention.

Extermination has become a tool for slaughtering fish.

Scales, entrails, and flesh fell from the sky and landed in Tianshui Lake.

Countless small fish and shrimp will be grateful for nature's bounty.

The remaining ingredients consisted of two parts.

A fish belly half the length of a person and two growths on its head.
