639 Inextricable (1/2)

The strength of an Immortal Spirit Fish over 10 meters long was also exceedingly terrifying. Ordinary peak Thousand Year King realm experts would not be able to defeat it at all.

Furthermore, their numbers were low, and it was rare to find one. Right now, even the biggest Immortal Spirit Fish was only about six meters long.

But in Lu Bu and the others' eyes, they were already a huge mountain of spirit stones.

Peak-grade spirit stones were extremely expensive. Most spirit herbs would not be able to fetch such a price.

”Prepare to cast the net,” Bei Feng cooly commanded.

”Yes!” Lu Bu and the others hurriedly chorused. Next, they took out a previously prepared net made of Heavenly Silk.

The cost of a net like this was nothing short of terrifying. Its flexibility was also extremely good. At the very least, it was quite unlikely for any Immortal Spirit Fish below 10 meters to be able to break through it.

Bei Feng did not interfere, and simply sat on the deck enjoying the ocean breeze as he chewed on some seafood.

Lu Bu took out a large wooden box from the hull. It constantly emanated an extremely good smell. Inside, the box was filled with large wriggling bugs the size of thumbs.

These bugs were each about five, six centimeters long, and two rings could be seen on their body. They were black in color, with a pair of large claws in front of them. Their bodies were covered entirely in a hard shell.

These bugs emanated a strange smell, which to some seemed fragrant, and to others putrid.

Lu Bu flung the box out, scattering the several thousand bugs into the golden sea.

The instant that the bugs entered the water and began struggling, the frightened Immortal Spirit Fishes at the front suddenly hesitated. Finally, under the lead of a six meter long Immortal Spirit Fish, they rushed madly towards the bugs.

At the same time, 10 Thousand Year King realm experts soared into the air and began to cast out the net in a huge area around the fishes.

Immortal Spirit Fishes were quick-witted creatures, and had a timid nature. The moment they felt that something wasn't right, they would quickly run away.

But, because of the temptation of the Spirit Beetles, their instinctive hunger suppressed their nature.

Immortal Spirit Fishes were very quick in the water, and even third or fourth layer Thousand Year King realm experts were only around as fast.

So, Lu Bu and the rest did not dare to make any overly big movements, and could only rely on the wide surface area of the net. Taking advantage of the time when the Immortal Spirit Fishes were feeding, they would surround them.

Several thousands of Spirit Beetles were completely devoured within a few minutes. Now that the lure of food was gone, the Immortal Spirit Fishes also began to discover that something was not right, and they began to panic.

”Blub, blub!”

Bubbles began to rise out of the water along with strange shrill sounds. It was as if the Immortal Spirit Fishes were communicating.

Lu Bu's face changed as he looked at the Immortal Spirit Fishes jumping up, ready to escape.

Because it was their first time catching Immortal Spirit Fish, they did not have sufficient experience, and didn't know that these Immortal Spirit Fishes' could eat so quickly.

Right now, the net hadn't been cast properly, and the Immortal Spirit Fishes had already reacted.

”Not good! Hurry, let's reel the net in quickly!” Lu Bu knew that now wasn't the time to be careful anymore, and so he gave the order. In any case, the Immortal Spirit Fishes had already discovered that something was wrong, so they only needed to care about moving as quickly as possible and catching as much as they could right now.

In an instant, the others also exploded with their full strength as they dragged the net over quickly.

But, ultimately, the net hadn't been closed properly, so even though the group had reacted quickly, it was still too late as they'd left behind an escape path.

Apart from six or seven Immortal Spirit Fishes that were slower, the others all managed to escape.

The Yellow Golden Sea was vast and unending. This was also the deep sea. The moment these Immortal Spirit Fishes escaped, they simply needed to dive into the water from some direction, and they would disappear completely without a trace.

”What quick-witted fishes.”

Bei Feng smiled, seemingly not minding at all.

Within the net, a handful of fishes was struggling desperately. However, the strength of the net woven with Heavenly Silk was incredibly tough. No matter how they struggled, they could not break out.

With their space greatly confined by the net, these Immortal Spirit Fish whose strength normally rivalled the Thousand Year King realm were all hoisted up with ease.

Lu Wei took out a small knife and directly began to let out the blood of the Immortal Spirit Fishes.

Immortal Spirit Fish's blood was poisonous enough to kill a peak Hundred Year realm expert with ease. It was also somewhat effective even against Thousand Year Kings.

After that, the entire fish was strung up by the tail. Copious amounts of blue blood flowed from the wounds, emanating a clear fragrance.

After they were handled, they were placed into a spatial ring.

The only way to properly drain the blood from the fish was when it was alive. If they tried to drain the blood after it died, the flesh would be ruined.
