Chapter 1819: Birdman of the Ancient Races

Hua Ziguang couldn’t help being shocked . When Long Chen patted him on the back, he didn’t have any ability to resist . His spiritual yuan was completely suppressed . For a person to completely suppress another person’s spiritual yuan, they would need at least several times the amount of spiritual yuan the other person possessed .

Although Hua Ziguang was also a disciple belonging to one of the top powers within the Martial Heaven Alliance, he couldn’t fully trust Long Chen .

However, this one move showed him that if Long Chen wanted to kill him, he wouldn’t have any ability to resist .

Now he knew just how terrifying the devil king of the Eastern Wasteland was .

Long Chen pulled on the fish net . It quickly reached the surface with seven Scarlet Blood Spirit Fish inside .

Hua Ziguang was delighted . He had spent an exorbitant amount of effort just to get one, but Long Chen had gotten seven so quickly .

Of the seven Scarlet Blood Spirit Fish, three were large, and four were small . The large ones were around a foot long, while the smaller ones were only three inches long . It went without saying that Hua Ziguang’s craftsmanship was amazing . Even these small fish hadn’t been able to escape his net .

Upon being dragged out of the water, the Scarlet Blood Spirit Fish seemed to lose their agility and nimbleness . They were still sluggish, with the medicinal effects having not yet faded .

Hua Ziguang took out a wooden barrel and carefully released them within, adding some of the lake water . This way, they wouldn’t die too quickly . They should be able to survive at least a month .

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, you can keep them . ” Hua Ziguang respectfully handed them to Long Chen . They had been caught by him . He was worried that Long Chen would be irritated if he took them .

“You can keep them . ” Long Chen waved his hand . He had already examined these fish . The larger the Scarlet Blood Spirit Fish, the more essence they had . The smaller ones were no good .

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, let’s continue releasing the net and catch some more . When others come, they’ll disturb us, and it’ll be almost impossible to catch more,” pressed Hua Ziguang upon seeing Long Chen looking around instead of releasing the net again .

“This is the border . The fish are too small . Let’s go test some deep areas . ” Long Chen began flying over to the center of the lake .

The lake was so large that they couldn’t see the end of it . Long Chen and Hua Ziguang flew for two hours without seeing the other side . Long Chen finally felt that this was enough and released the net .

He suddenly found that the string they had to drag the net back was too short . Fortunately, Hua Ziguang was smart and had stored more of the tree bark . He rapidly made more rope, and the net quickly reached the bottom .

It only took a few breaths’ time before a mass of Scarlet Blood Spirit Fish appeared at the bottom .

Hua Ziguang hastily formed hand seals, completely suppressing his own aura without Long Chen needing to remind him . He spiritually said, “Heavens, senior apprentice-brother Long Chen… there are so many of them, and they’re so big!”

Even his spiritual voice was quivering with excitement . These Scarlet Blood Spirit Fish were giant . At the very least, there were thousands of them, and the larger ones were three feet long .

Long Chen was also delighted . However, he quickly found that things weren’t working . The large fish entered the net and left sullenly because the net was too small to allow them to reach the bait . Only a few of them ate the bait and were trapped .

He quickly pulled up the net, startling any remaining fish away . Only a dozen of them were caught inside, having eaten the bait .

However, all of them were over a foot long . The larger ones were two feet long with astonishing Blood Qi .

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, we’ve struck gold! Ten fish on this level are enough to fully awaken a person’s bloodline power!” exclaimed Hua Ziguang .

The giant Scarlet Blood Spirit Fish probably took several centuries to grow so long . If they sent the net down again, they would obtain enough for the two of them to use .

At this time, a portion of the net had been broken by the larger fish . Hua Ziguang was about to repair it when he was stopped by Long Chen .

“You can keep these fish . As for the net, I’m not using it anymore . ”

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, you…”

“These fish should be enough for you, so there’s no need for you to risk any more danger . I’m preparing to use a different method to fish, and it might be risky, so you can leave . ”

Long Chen had found that this method was insufficient to catch the largest fish . He also didn’t have time to create a larger, sturdier net . He wanted to take a risk before more people came .

Furthermore, he not only needed large fish, but he needed an incredible amount of them, or there wouldn’t be enough for the Dragonblood warriors .

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, how can you say that? If it weren’t for you, I probably wouldn’t have gotten even one . I know how to repay kindness . If you think I’ll leave just because of some danger, aren’t you looking down on me?” said Hua Ziguang . Having received Long Chen’s favor and gaining such a treasure, how could he leave him now?

“No, you misunderstand . That’s alright, you can stay . Help guard me . If anyone gets close, have them scram so that they don’t disturb the fish . If they don’t listen to your warning, kill them . Can you do that?” asked Long Chen .

“Don’t worry, as long as I’m alive, I won’t let anyone disturb you . ” Hua Ziguang patted his chest .

He had to pay back his debt of the twenty-plus fish that Long Chen had given him . Otherwise, he wouldn’t feel at peace . Even if he knew that he might die in battle soon, he was duty-bound not to turn back .

“Alright, then stay in the air and keep an eye on the surroundings . ”

Long Chen’s mind sank into the primal chaos space . He cut off several branches from a World Tree, forming a canoe .

He then applied a lot of medicinal powders and crushed spiritual pills onto the bottom of the boat . He wanted to bait the Scarlet Blood Spirit Fish to him .

Once he was done with this, he inscribed runes onto the bottom of the canoe with the powders . These runes could fully unleash the odor of the medicinal powders and also keep their essence within the runes .

Once this was done, Long Chen released the canoe onto the lake . He crushed a large mass of medicinal pills and released them slowly into the water .

Very quickly, a shocking scene appeared . Countless Scarlet Blood Spirit Fish began slowly swimming out of the bottom of the lake and toward Long Chen .

This time, Long Chen had used over seven hundred kinds of fragrant powders as well as various spiritual fruits and flowers . These all posed a fatal attraction to the Scarlet Blood Spirit Fish .

“Heavens, is that a… fish king?”

Up in the sky, Hua Ziguang saw it clearly . Long Chen’s position was covered in blood-colored figures, but now a giant fish three meters long had appeared .

One, two, three… There were over ten of those giant fish now . Long Chen was delighted . Those fish kings were the real treasure that he wanted .

Just as he was about to pull them in, a figure suddenly flew through the air . He had a pair of wings on his back and an eagle’s nose . He was clearly from the ancient races .

“Friend, please leave . Otherwise, don’t blame me for what happens . ”

That ancient race expert had just appeared and hadn’t even gotten close before Hua Ziguang appeared in front of him .

He ignored Hua Ziguang, looking at where Long Chen was .

“There are actually Scarlet Blood Spirit Fish, hahaha!” The ancient race expert laughed loudly, his aura erupting . Killing intent filled the air .

Hua Ziguang was startled and infuriated . He slashed his sword at this expert, but he simply sneered .

“Long Chen, you want to get the Scarlet Blood Spirit Fish? Keep dreaming!” The ancient race expert refused to fight with Hua Ziguang . After unleashing his killing intent, he soared into the sky, vanishing like a phantom .

Once his killing intent was released, those Scarlet Blood Spirit Fish that Long Chen had lured over were instantly startled away . They fled, vanishing without a trace . The speed at which they fled defied imagination .

“Bastard!”

Upon seeing that many Scarlet Blood Spirit Fish be frightened away by that ancient race expert, Hua Ziguang’s expression was ugly .

“Sorry, I’m too useless . I should have directly killed him instead of warning him,” apologized Hua Ziguang . He was ashamed .

“Even if you had attacked without a warning, it would have been the same . Your killing intent would have frightened off the Scarlet Blood Spirit Fish . They’re too wary . ” Long Chen shook his head . He wasn’t that angry . Things rarely went smoothly for him in the first place . He was used to it .

“Then what should we do now? That bastard’s too fast . He might come back in a bit,” said Hua Ziguang worriedly .

“He really is troublesome . His ability at running is quite amazing, but his actual power isn’t very great . For someone like him to appear, it means there’s a problem . Maybe the gate to the Yin Yang World has already fully opened, and other experts are pouring in . How’s this? You go in the direction that he fled to guard . I feel like he most likely went to inform other experts from the ancient races . I will try to lure the fish over one more time, while also using a soul art to try to hypnotize them . This time, there can’t be any failure . If you see anyone from the ancient races, you know what to do . ” Long Chen took a deep breath .

Forming hand seals, his Spiritual Strength spread rapidly . He tossed entire medicinal pills into the lake .
