510 The Weird Wang Kun
Qin Huai accepted the half-eaten fish from Wang Kun and put it in his mouth. The texture of the jelly-like black and red fish was just as he had imagined. It was soft and smooth, and as hot as boiling water.
After it entered his stomach, it felt like an energy bomb exploding inside him. He was full.
“One black-red fish a day is enough to keep me full,” Wang Kun said, grinning proudly.
Qin Huai carefully examined the black-red fish in his hands. It had no bones, no internal organs, and not even a brain. Every part of its body was a single entity. It didn’t seem like a living creature at all.
However, even after half of the black-red fish was eaten, its body could still move freely. Most importantly, in the blood sea, where even a visceral prefecture realm expert would be devoured if they stayed for too long, this black-red fish could actually survive…
“How long have you been eating this black-red fish, Elder Wang?”
“A few months.” Wang Kun thought for a while. “I can’t remember exactly how long it’s been.”
Qin Huai looked at Wang Kun’s expression and decided not to dig too deep into the matter. Instead, he continued to ask, “How do you catch fish in the blood sea, Elder Wang? Could you teach me some techniques?”
In the blood sea, his vision was extremely poor. Finding a half-meter-long black-red fish in such a vast sea seemed like a fantasy.
“That’s simple. Just feel it. With our senses, we should be able to easily locate the black-red fish in the blood sea,” Wang Kun said as if it was the most obvious thing.
The corners of Qin Huai’s mouth twitched involuntarily as he looked down at the sea of blood. “Elder Wang, are you making fun of me? Even the visceral prefecture realm experts would struggle to find it.”
“You must be joking, Brother Qin. It’s truly quite simple.” With that, Wang Kun dove into the sea of blood again to demonstrate.
Qin Huai watched Wang Kun closely. The latter moved through the sea of blood as effortlessly as a fish through water. All Qin Huai could see was a fleeting black shadow, then it disappeared from his sight.
Bang!
A moment later, Wang Kun’s figure shot out from the sea of blood, a black-red fish in his hand.
“See? It’s that simple,” Wang Kun said as he split the black-red fish in two again and tossed one half to Qin Huai.
Qin Huai caught the black-red fish, looking at its ‘corpse’ which was still very active and showed not even a drop of blood. His mind was filled with countless thoughts, but he couldn’t piece the clues together.
“Elder Wang, you’re really lucky,” he finally said, summarizing his many thoughts in one sentence.
Qin Huai swallowed down the remaining half of the black-red fish in his hand. Immediately, his vitality was replenished.
“I’ll go take a look underwater.” Having said this, Qin Huai dove into the water like an eager student.
Boom!
A blood-red world filled his entire field of vision. Qin Huai looked at the foggy surroundings, and a cacophony of moans echoed in his mind. He did his best to shut these noises out and focused on searching for traces of the black-red fish in the blood sea.
His speed within the Blood Sea wasn’t slow. His exceptional physique allowed him to swim swiftly through the sea of blood like a cheetah. However, he occasionally felt a strange sensation on his skin.
Ignoring it, Qin Huai continued to scan the surrounding sea of blood with his eyes. The burning sensation on his body grew stronger, and he was about to rush out of the sea of blood.
Suddenly, he saw a black shadow dart past in the distance. It was a black-red fish! He then surged forward at a remarkable speed towards the black shadow.
Bang!
He stirred up huge waves in the sea of blood. He was fast, but the black-red fish was faster. With a swift flick of its tail, the black-red fish became a blur to Qin Huai, and then it was gone.
Qin Huai gritted his teeth, wanting to give chase, but his wings were starting to ache. Looking back, he saw his feathers showing signs of evaporation and melting. He couldn’t drag it out any longer. He had no choice but to resurface from the blood sea.
“Ha…” Qin Huai gasped heavily. Moving through the sea of blood had consumed more energy than he’d expected. The speed of the black-red fish was beyond his imagination.
The fact that Wang Kun could easily catch the black-red fish in such a condition and environment hinted at combat strength even more formidable than he’d previously shown. That was why Qin Huai maintained high vigilance towards this stranger he’d met by chance.
Of course, he wasn’t about to immerse himself in the blood crystal pillar to experience the recovery of his injuries and the enhancement of his strength.
“Didn’t catch one, Brother Qin?” Wang Kun looked at Qin Huai with surprise, as if he’d seen something unbelievable.
“Seems like I still have a couple of days of exploring to do,” Qin Huai said with a chuckle.
“That’s true. I also spent a few hours fumbling around at the start.”
Wang Kun’s comment made Qin Huai’s mouth twitch slightly. However, the other party’s sincerity made Qin Huai feel he might be unfairly judging.
“Brother Qin, there’s another crucial skill for survival above the blood sea.” Wang Kun walked over to Qin Huai.
“I’m listening.” Qin Huai watched as Wang Kun slowly lay down.
The latter’s body turned in the air, parallel to the sea of blood. His palm-sized wings started to flap less frequently, and Wang Kun himself slowly closed his eyes.
Qin Huai immediately grasped what he meant. “Sleep?”
