Chapter 160
160 fifth blood transformation, blood like a river (I)
After comprehending the formation for a long time, wang wanted to try out its lethality.
He thus, inscribed it on the hook after a long time he had some accomplishments.
It took some time to accomplish this, further saying his agreed-upon deadline.
And this without even wasting time, he went further to try it out, he had been in this place for a long time and wanted to go back too.
If he could manage to bring back something for his wife, then it would be the best, but that was just some thought.
On the third week, he indeed succeeded in attracting prey, but it seemed slightly smarter and kept moving around the bait.
It seemed that this time Wang had met an intelligent river creature that didn’t care about approach or it might just be a curious type.
After observing it through his soul perception, he was sure it wouldn’t take the bait any time soon, so decided to use the force of the formation to trap it.
Even though he couldn’t measure the strength of the other party, it was not something the hook could capture easily.
.....
In that case, why not capture it using another more reliable means it could even avoid causing some disturbance to the water.
“Is this some intelligent monster or a timid one? Well, it doesn’t matter since its features resemble a catfish so much I can just call it that then. Let me deal with it quickly.” As he thought of this his hand on the fishing rod moved and then when he waved it, his soul perceived the situation at the bottom of the river before he activated the formation on the rod, forcing huge catfish into the trap.
It barely had enough time to reach before it was attacked and a huge impact set off by the waves, almost made it escape.
Thankfully, it was within the scope of the formation.
He was afraid of waking up those sleeping in the depths of the river, and his method seemed more reliable.
Despite the roaring of the huge catfish, it suddenly seemed to be isolated from the river.
It was the world array in place, none of its actions could make any waves, especially with some chain order chains trapping it.
Wang was not relaxed though, as he had yet to try using formation, but once it succeeded he smiled slightly before becoming serious.
This formation was temporary and he needed to deal with the catfish before it lost its ability to hold the fish trapped.
He was worried that it might end up going wrong getting the attention of the strongest sleeping Beast under the water.
So he started to arrange for dragging it on land.
He finished some preparations before carefully pulling the fishing rod to the surface and with every action the world array spun, shrinking.
He was not weak in terms of arm strength he had already achieved several tens of millions of kilograms, but with some other means involved such as techniques, he could multiply this power.
The trapped catfish indeed had no way of escaping and Wang could celebrate his achievements but didn’t do that.
He knew some truths and they included the fact that his formation could at most hold on for a certain period.
The catfish indeed made some around that one could interpret as it roaring unwillingly. It had after all opened up its intelligence.
Though not that high, it could already tell that it had reached a crisis that could threaten its life.
The catfish had previously just thought it was cautious enough by avoiding his trap but he still forcefully caught it.
In the end, it turned out that a huge formation could still be developed early.
Even with the development, the black catfish has some strength to resist.
“Even the fish in rod can’t work on a catfish, this huge river is indeed something. I guess more benefits can be obtained from it too, but it requires my strength to be capable of holding such benefits. Even a fishing tool seems useless, without that array.” He had to consider how to deal with such a problem.
Wang’s eyes were determined, he had to make a move due to his survival and his determination, and he had to finish the transformation of his blood.
He even thought of dealing with the catfish using some other means but he dismissed the ideas.
If he attempted to take action prematurely before it reached the surface, he might end up losing everything.
He was aware that the river might also have other creatures that would not hesitate to eat their own to survive.
In the end, he pulled the hook from under the water and moved into the formation his head set up.
After that, he did not delay and started to attack.
He utilized all his strength to avoid trouble cropping up.
He held a saber and used it as an arrow, with fusion intent attached he threw it like an arrow, aiming at the catfish.
“Boom!”
Three consecutive attacks slammed into the scales on the catfish, but it could still not manage to injure it seriously.
After having finished trying out his attacks he thus stopped and started to utilize his strongest means.
The heaven and earth flame was released and with the fish being held under some stronger chains, that seemed to be starting to turn illusionary, he couldn’t wait.
He released the flame and it covered the catfish which seemed to be different as it seemed to be different from the other attempt.
This time the scales on the catfish were being burnt even smoke could be seen rising, thankfully the formation he had arranged isolated everything from the outside world.
The catfish made some painful roars, but this didn’t change its fate in the end.
The body of the catfish tried to struggle out of the chains of order holding it but it indeed proved very difficult to even shake them.
Despite the strength of the chains having been reduced, the catfish was still unable to shake them.
The chains seemed to contain some unique force, the power of the world, and even though it was not much and just a prototype it shocked Wang.
He was incapable of even destroying the scales on its body but the heaven and earth flame was slowly turning the huge fish into a meal.
The flame was able to burn off all the scales, which seemed to reach the inner meat, using his soul he checked out the fish and with the blade made several attacks, but only small chunks of meat could be cut off.
It proved more difficult, but the cuts this time managed to infiltrate deep in the flash.
Being disappointed he could only change his kind and aim at its head, after several attacks he managed to stop it from roaring.
He was not sure if it was dead but concentrated his heaven and earth flam on its head.
It was soon burned into ashes, but the other body parts were left.
He then took out a huge blade cutting off a piece of meat.
He then put it in his mouth. The taste was not bad, but he didn’t think much of it.
His intention was to refine the energy, speeding up his blood transformation.
And this proved very useful in the end, he however still managed to digest the piece of meat after having spent some effort.
With that in kind, he calmed down and set his kind on the remaining meat.
He had to consume it slowly before refining its energy into blood energy, but this was more convenient than the Qi in the air.
He could see some hope as the piece he had consumed had already provided him some immense amount of blood energy.
Removing all distracting thoughts from his mind, he started to consume the meat, everytime he looked at the huge piece of the hill standing in front of him he could hide his joy.
He could tell the fish was probably among the smallest creatures in the river, yet it had such an immense amount of blood energy in its body.
He couldn’t stop licking his fingers at the thought of turning this river into his fishing pond.
But such a thought was only temporary, before being thrown out by him, he warned himself from entertaining such a dangerous thought with his weak strength.
Floating might end up causing him trouble at such a time.
“Be low key at the moment first, strength is not enough to do some things. When the capability is enough this thought could be considered.”
As he calmed his state of mind, he turned back to the meat. He could see that some parts were not properly cooked but he didn’t have many thoughts about doing it properly.
Back on Earth, some meals such as sushi were served raw, and thus he continued to consume the meat like that.
He chewed pieces of meat, and from time to time, energy could be felt roaring in his body, changing, like a flood.
The martial arts he had stopped using started to run and the intense yang energy in his body also become very vigorous, burning the blood energy in the body.
In this way, the energy he had accumulated all seemed to be boiling.
The result was unbearable pain, from the marrow to the bones and muscles, everywhere was aching, and at the same time, his body was covered in red mud.
The old blood from his body was being expelled.
He didn’t stop eating at all, the energy needed was immense and he could feel that he was indeed very hungry.
Bang! Bang!
Even his heartbeat was like that of a huge beast, repeatedly drumming.
It could be heard from the outside, and without the formation perhaps it could be capable of attracting others to this place.
