Fang Ping did not dare to deal with people. Killing fish was not a small matter.
Just as he was about to give it another pick, the Fiery Candle Demon Fish’s eyes slowly dimmed, and its mouth stopped moving. It seemed that it was really dead.
The lava on its body was also cooling, slowly turning into black rocks.
“Qing Niao, are you alright?”
!!
“I’m okay.”
“Let’s go back.”
“Okay.”
Even if the Fiery Candle Demon Fish died, it was still hot like charcoal. Fortunately, he had the Frost Set’s Magic Shield, so Fang Ping could hold it. Barely.
Along the way, it attracted the attention of many people, including a few soldiers standing guard at the exit.
“You actually caught it!”
The soldier who had given Fang Ping pointers earlier looked surprised. “How long has it been? You guys really caught it?”
“Just pure luck, luck.”
He carried the fish out of the Dog Head Gate, and steam rose around him.
Fang Ping wondered if this thing would be worthless if it cooled down. It was better to sell it while it was hot.
Qing Niao’s steps were a little difficult. He could barely keep up with Fang Ping’s footsteps. The white light on his body had already disappeared, and his body’s recovery speed was really fast.
After leaving Dog Head Gate, Qing Niao took off the Elemental War Boots on his feet and threw them away.
Elemental Equipment Sets only worked if worn as a set. If one component was broken, it was equivalent to the entire set losing its effect.
“Qing Niao, after I sell this fish, I’ll buy you a new set of armor.”
“Thank you.”
On the way back, many people were watching and pointing.
“We’re from the Elite Team.”
“I know. Get in.”
The soldiers guarding the front door of the Fire Dragon Border Fortress let him pass directly. Fang Ping walked quickly to Cooke Restaurant.
“Welcome, welcome. Do you want to eat or…”
“Boss, the fish you wanted is here!”
Cooke’s eyes lit up when he saw the big fish in Fang Ping’s arms. He hurried over. “You really caught it! That’s great! Are you sure you caught it in the Lava World?”
Fang Ping glanced at the floor. It was made of stone. He threw the Fiery Candle Demon Fish to the ground. “Check the temperature. Where else can it be from other than the Lava World?”
Cooke walked over and felt the heat. He took another step back with a smile on his face. His flesh was trembling. “Okay, okay, okay! What did I say I would pay you back then?”
“What is it? Didn’t you say that it’s the Divine Shock Skill Crystal?”
Fang Ping looked at him. Was he going to go back on his word?
“I won’t. I, Cooke, am a man of my word.” He walked into the counter. After a while, he took out a small box and handed it to Fang Ping.
Previously, at the Giant Cannon Plaza, someone had tried to deceive him. It seemed that his name was Ferlin, better for him to confirm it.
Holding the Skill Crystal, he quickly sensed it.
“That’s right. It’s the Divine Shock. It’s yours.”
Watching Fang Ping and Qing Niao walk out, Cooke sized up the Fiery Candle Demon Fish and estimated its size. He dragged out a large piece of leather and wrapped it around it. Just this simple action made Cooke sweat profusely.
However, the smile on Cooks’s face did not fade. He wiped the sweat off his head and stuck his head out again. He took a look at the street and half-closed the door. He looked at the big leather bag on the ground that was emitting heat.
“I’ve made a killing this time.”
Then, he squatted down, picked it up, and walked out.
…
“Young Master, this is the specialty of the Lava World, the Fiery Candle Demon Fish.”
On the exquisite plate were pieces of fish as thin as cicada wings.
It had a translucent texture with fine white patterns and a thin layer of red fish skin, like gems on it.
William forked a piece and put it in his mouth. The warm texture was filled with juice and melted in his mouth. The freshness and sweetness of the fish meat were perfectly displayed.
“The Fiery Candle Demon Fish lives in lava. The fish meat is in a high-temperature state for a long time. It’s both cooked and raw.”
“Not bad.” William forked another slice into his mouth. “How’s Flame Tower?”
“After Andre accepted the Elven Forbidden Spell, he focused on eating and didn’t communicate much.
“By the way, Sif is a little dissatisfied that he didn’t abide by the Elves’ Forbidden Spell process.”
William smiled. “Andre, he’s not stupid. Sif is not someone he can touch. He might as well make his position clear.
Hmph, interesting.”
…
After having a simple lunch by the roadside, he bought a pair of shoes for Qing Niao and prepared to return to his residence.
“Qing Niao, I’ll buy you your armor later. I don’t have much money now.”
Previously, Fang Ping had bought the Frost Set and spent over budget. Now, he only had eleven Silver Dragons and some bronze horns left. He could not afford the entire set of armor.
Qing Niao added, “The Elemental set is quite good for me. Defensive equipment that is too good is useless for me.”
...
Defensive armor was not used to protect Qing Niao, but to prevent him from being instantly killed.
Qing Niao relied on the combination of its Self-healing characteristic and the Light of Faith staff after being injured. The more he fought, the braver it became. He was not injured, but very weak.
Fang Ping did have a lot of valuable things on hand. Protection Command Potion, Excellent-grade Flash Grenade Skill Crystal, Excellent-grade Alchemy Stone, and even the Divine Shock Skill Crystal that he had just obtained. The price had to be calculated according to gold coins, but these were all fixed assets that could not be cashed out.
Right, Fang Ping still had a sum of money that he had yet to get. On the way to Fire Dragon City, Fang Ping’s share of the spoils of war that he had obtained from the battle was deducted from supplies, spears, leather armor, and so on. He would settle them after selling them.
The supplies were all in the carriage of the Elven City’s Lord’s Guards. He didn’t know if they had been sold. When the time came, he should be able to get another sum of money from Elsa.
After returning to his residence and sitting for a while, Andre returned.
“Eh, why are you back so early?”
Fang Ping opened his eyes and saw Andre swinging the bag in his hand. “Have you guys eaten? I even packed some back. I wanted to give it to you as dinner. Do you want to eat some now? It’s still fresh.”
“No need. I’m quite full. Qing Niao, do you want some? Qing Niao?”
Andre poked his head out to take a look at the room and quietly walked out. “He’s asleep. It’s good that he’s asleep. It saves him from secretly cultivating again.”
Andre placed the bag on the table and sat to the side. “What’s wrong with you guys today? Why are you back so early?”
...
Fang Ping briefly explained what had happened today. He took out a translucent crystal from his pocket. “Look, I even got this successfully.”
“Divine Shock?”
“Yes.”
“That’s a huge gain. What about Qing Niao? How is he?”
Fang Ping thought about it but did not mention that he had used three to four Flame Rocks. He only said, “He’s alright.”
Andre took out his money bag. He counted and took out a handful of silver coins. He handed them to Fang Ping. “I don’t have much money now. I still have to leave some for my family. Can I give you these 20 silver dragons?”
“For me? For what? No need.”
“I’m not giving it to you. Aren’t you going to buy a new set of armor for Qing Niao? I support you a little. Buy a better set. Don’t tell him about this money.”
“Qing Niao said that he doesn’t need good armor, or it will affect his strength.”
