On the other hand, Gu Xi and Little Nine were gloating over the Golden Carp King’s misfortune. “You like to bite everything, but now all your teeth are gone.”
The Golden Carp King, who had lost its teeth, could not help but begin to doubt life. Then, it sank into an even greater rage. It roared angrily, and countless streams of water gathered in the center of the lake, forming a huge water dragon.
The water dragon soared into the sky, and the tornado came one after another. Countless flowers, plants, and trees in the surroundings were uprooted by the wind. Even Gu Xi fell to the side as he watched the water dragon surge toward him and devour him in an instant.
Those water dragons seemed to have been endowed with life as they coiled around Gu Xi’s body. With a gentle force from the dragon’s body, tens of thousands of pressure fell on his shoulders, as if they were going to break all his bones and return to the furnace for reconstruction.
Gu Xi’s face turned slightly pale as he subconsciously tightened his grip on the Black Soul Sword in his hand. Due to the feeling of weightlessness and the fact that he was in the water, he was unable to unleash its full power.
A smug look flashed across the golden eyes of the Golden Carp King as he looked at Gu Xi’s figure struggling in the water. It was as if he could already see the scene of the latter being entangled by the water dragons and suffocating to death.
However, in the next second, the light of the black soul suddenly intensified. Gu Xi held his sword and came over, forcefully poking countless holes in the water dragons like deflated rubber balls.
These water pillars could not support him at all, and their power was greatly reduced. They returned to the surface of the water from mid-air, and Gu Xi was also spat out.
Seeing that his attacks were repeatedly neutralized by the man before him, the Golden Carp King activated its intelligence and knew that Gu Xi was not to be trifled with. It rolled its golden eyes, and the water rippled, and its huge body instantly sank into the surface of the lake, huge ripples spread out.
The lake returned to its calm state. If not for the water stains and scattered golden scales during the battle, it would have been as if everything that had happened earlier was an illusion.
“It escaped so quickly?”
[Detected Primal Chaos Realm creature, Golden Carp King]
[Contains a weak Ancient Divine Dragon Bloodline. Flaw value: 28,789. Power value: 78,765!]
The System notification in his mind made Gu Xi freeze on the spot.
“Ancient Divine Dragon Bloodline, no wonder it’s so powerful.”
If Gu Xi did not have the System as a cheat, if it were any other cultivator, they probably would not even be able to face the might of the Golden Carp King, let alone a single move.
“If that’s the case, I can’t miss it.”
Gu Xi looked at the calm surface of the lake, but his eyes were full of determination.
He released his spiritual sense to check. The lake seemed calm and clear, but it was actually deep and unfathomable. The deeper he went, the colder the power felt, as if the bottom of the lake was connected to an abyss.
Even Gu Xi could not stand the coldness and had to withdraw his spiritual sense.
The sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear, but Gu Xi’s body was terrifyingly cold, as if it was made of ice. He used his spiritual power to dispel the cold, and his body gradually warmed up.
“It seems that it is impossible to dive into the lake and bring this Golden Carp King up.”
The seemingly calm bottom of the lake was filled with many unknown factors. Gu Xi did not want to take this risk.
He guessed that there should be some treasure at the bottom of the lake. Otherwise, how could an ordinary golden carp grow to such a level? Although there was the Ancient Divine Dragon Bloodline in its body, it was very weak. It seemed that its bloodline had not been activated yet.
Therefore, he concluded that there must be a treasure that could allow an ordinary golden carp to cultivate to such a level. After all, even if an ordinary golden carp became refined and cultivated, it would only have a lifespan of 100 years.
However, this Golden Carp King was beyond his understanding. Perhaps it had the function of a treasure. Whether it was this Golden Carp King or the underwater treasure, Gu Xi wanted to obtain it.
However, the most important thing now was to subdue the Golden Carp King.
There was no way to enter the water. Just now, the Golden Carp King could not gain any advantage over Gu Xi. It was likely that he would not engage in a head-on battle with him for a while.
How could he make the Golden Carp King appear on his own initiative?
Gu Xi was lost in thought as he looked at the calm surface of the lake. Occasionally, he saw small ripples spread out, and he could vaguely see the small carp swimming slowly.
He immediately thought of something. “I’ve got it!”
Soon, the bonfire was set up, and there were a few golden small carp on a pine tree branch.
The white fish meat was roasted until it was sizzling with oil and slowly turned golden. The delicious smell of the fish combined perfectly with the fragrance of the tree branch. Even without adding any seasoning, it was enough to make people want to eat it.
The way to present delicious food was usually the most simple cooking method. Gu Xi’s grasp of the heat was first-class. When the fish was picked up from the bonfire, the golden color of the fish meat was not visible, and there was even fish oil dripping down from it.
If it were not for Gu Xi stopping Little Nine, it would have already pounced forward impatiently.
Although these small fish had not fully awakened their intelligence, they had lived at the bottom of the lake for many years and had been absorbing a lot of spiritual energy. When the fish meat entered the mouth, it melted immediately and even had a sweet taste. It was definitely not something that ordinary fish meat could compare to.
When the spiritual energy entered their mouths, it was practically comparable to the finest delicacies in the world. Gu Xi had originally wanted to use a method to goad the Golden Carp King into revealing itself, but after eating it, he could not stop himself.
On the other side, Little Nine did not lose out much. The entire fish was swallowed without even chewing. A human and a fox. Not long after, the small fish that had just been caught were all swept away.
The Golden Carp King’s eyes slowly rose to the surface of the water. He looked at Gu Xi who was eating heartily on the shore. His eyes were filled with hatred and grievance.
The Golden Carp King was not human, but the man and the fox were real dogs!
One had to know that the carp in the lake were basically his descendants. If the two of them continued to eat at this speed, it was likely that he would soon have no descendants!
It was simply unbearable!
The calm surface of the lake rippled again, and the originally clear sky suddenly changed again.
Gu Xi, who was eating the fish, revealed a smug smile.
The carp had taken the bait, but the speed at which he was eating the fishes did not stop.
