Chapter 17: Enjoy the meal
Dense schools of fish surged, lava splashed up, and the snake-tailed fire fish swam towards Zhou Hao like a hungry ghost with its fangs exposed. At this moment, Zhou Hao was covered in bruises and weak, and even his eyes were drooping open. If he didn't open it, he was tortured to the point of almost losing consciousness. The Seven-Headed Snake-Tailed Fire Fish King simply tortured him as much as he wanted.
"ah!"
The snake-tailed fire fish bit Zhou Hao's body like crazy. Blood foam flew everywhere in an instant, and the chewing sounds came one after another. Every snake-tailed fire fish that bit the flesh was glowing, because it was the body of an immortal, and it contained nine kinds of energy. The spiritual power of the Fire Heart Lotus is naturally a great tonic for these fish.
The pain coming from his body suddenly made Zhou Hao wake up from his previous drowsiness. He suddenly thought that Yun Fang had left him an Immortal Summoning Jade. If he crushed it in an emergency, Yun Fang could appear to save him. When Zhou Hao He immediately took out the small jade token with difficulty. His hands were eaten by fish, but in the end the Immortal Summoning Jade was still broken.
"Crack!"
The green jade fragments fell, and a clear light immediately lit up. The Seven-Headed Snake-Tailed Fire Fish King was shocked because a powerful and compelling aura came from the clear light, as if it could destroy them in an instant.
"boom!"
Qing Guang turned into a human form, exactly like Yun Fang. He had a childish face and sparkling spirit. He just pushed out with a palm, and powerful power burst out immediately. All the snake-tailed fire fish flew out horizontally, and the sky was filled with red fish. The seven-headed guy even dived deep into the water with its tail between its legs. With their strength and intelligence, they could naturally feel how strong Yun Fang was. Such a strong man was a devil in their eyes, and their instinct drove them to run for their lives.
"Master...Master."
Zhou Hao was extremely weak. When he saw Yun Fang's appearance, his tense nerves completely relaxed and he fainted. At this time, the white bones exposed on his shoulders were shocking, the two thighs that had been eaten were bloody and bloody, and the whole body was riddled with holes like dead branches and leaves. Looking at this situation, he was about to die.
Yun Fang quickly sent his powerful immortal power to maintain Zhou Hao's life. He opened a white jade vial and took out a golden elixir. The elixir was only as big as a pea and exuded a strange aroma. As soon as it was put to Zhou Hao's mouth The person slowly opened his eyes, and his energy recovered somewhat.
"Come on, disciple, this is the elixir of life, you can recover quickly after eating it!" Yun Fang looked at Zhou Hao with a smile, and fed the elixir into the latter's mouth with his right hand.
The elixir melted in his mouth, and Zhou Hao immediately felt an overflowing power flowing through his body. His body glowed with golden light, and the areas eaten by the snake-tailed fire fish were rapidly recovering, just in a few breaths. Zhou Hao then completely recovered as before, as if nothing had happened to him.
With fluttering white clothes and a delicate face, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy said with palpitations and shame: "Master, my disciple has embarrassed you and almost died here."
"Silly disciple, how can I blame you? I already know everything. With your current cultivation level, it is impossible to defeat the king of snake-tailed fire fish, but didn't you kill one? This shows that you have indeed made great progress. Big, but, don’t take any more risks in the future. If you are not strong enough, you have to practice hard, do you understand?” Yun Fang touched Zhou Hao’s head and said.
"Well, master, you are right, my disciple has learned a lesson." Zhou Hao nodded.
"Hey, I almost forgot that there is so much food. Come on, disciple, let's have a barbecue today!"
Yun Fang looked around and found that basically all the fish he had knocked away just now were doomed. Now the lake was full of snake-tailed fire fish with their bodies turned over and their bellies facing up.
Just one palm, thousands of fish died!
"Wow, Master, you are so awesome. With so many fish, how long will we have to eat!" Zhou Hao swallowed his saliva and said.
Next, the two masters and apprentices transformed into divine chefs. Yun Fang waved his hand, and flames suddenly rose in the air. It was Tao fire cultivated by immortals, which could burn all creatures below his level.
Zhou Hao picked up one iron fork after another and grilled the fish over the fire. Under the blazing fire, the snake-tailed fire fish immediately became charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and a tantalizing fish fragrance immediately floated out.
"chopped green onion"
"cumin"
"mustard"
"soy sauce"
…
Yun Fang and Zhou Hao were extremely cooperative at this time, and even their identities were switched. Zhou Hao clearly showed off his talent as a chef at this time. After all, when he was a soldier in the mortal world, he was still a fire-headed soldier at the beginning. , cooking was really a knowledge for him at that time.
Not only must you learn, but you must also keep asking!
A white porcelain plate as big as a table was placed directly on the lava floor. On the plate was the grilled snake tail fire fish, and it was even more fragrant after adding the toppings.
The master and apprentice sat opposite each other, smelling the rich aroma and moving their index fingers. They each grabbed one and ate it.
"Ah woo", Zhou Hao's mouth was full of happiness. The snake tail fire fish was so delicious. He felt that the fairyland was the fairyland, and every fish was so delicious that it would explode. Since he ascended the throne as emperor in the mortal world, Zhou Hao has been I have lived a life of tasting delicacies from all over the world. I have eaten all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and my tongue has become numb in the end. But today, a fish in the fairyland awakened my tongue's interest in food.
"Well, that's really good, disciple. It seems that you have a lot of research on food. These earthly condiments combined with the snake tail fire fish are absolutely perfect. Oh my, it's delicious!" Yun Fang's mouth was full of oil after eating. He couldn't help praising Zhou Hao's craftsmanship.
"Master, to tell you the truth, I was also a good eater when I was in the mortal world. I really put a lot of effort into cooking, but the ingredients in this fairyland are really nothing to say. This is the first time I have eaten such delicious fish!" Zhou Hao ate so much that he couldn't stop talking.
"Haha, okay, I didn't expect that I, Yunfang, would also take on an apprentice who can cook, so I can enjoy delicious food in the future!"
"Master, you are making fun of me, my apprentice. How can I have the nerve to bring my mortal skills to the fairyland? I can't put them on the stage."
"The Immortal Realm is just a boring world for cultivators. It is not as exciting as ordinary people think. On the contrary, I think the mortal world is the most interesting place. I am a top scholar in three hundred and sixty professions. I am very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Master, I am I yearn for it so much in the mortal world, but I don’t have the opportunity to go to the lower world!”
"No chance of going down to the lower world? What's going on? Master, can't you go down to earth even with your level of cultivation at the Golden Immortal level?" Zhou Hao asked doubtfully.
"This is not a question of cultivation, but a major event related to the connection between the two worlds. Although mortal beings can come to the immortal realm through practice or adventure, immortals cannot enter the mortal world because it will cause panic. There will be chaos in the world." Yun Fang said seriously.
"Well, then I won't be able to return to the mortal world anymore?" Thinking of this, Zhou Hao felt a little flustered.
"That's not true." Yun Fang looked at Zhou Hao's blushing face and hurriedly smiled and explained: "It is also possible for the Immortal family to descend to the earth, but it must be approved by the Heavenly Capital of the Immortal Realm, and there are usually special tasks for descending to the earth, such as To find mortal disciples or lost mortal antiquities, etc., you need to complete the task within a time limit and come back."
"In the mortal world, immortals must conceal their true identity, not allow mortals to see their true identity, and act in a low-key manner. They must not use magical powers in front of mortals. In short, they must not let mortal beings know that there is an unknown world." Yun Fang said. .
"No wonder. No wonder I heard a lot of legends about gods and ghosts in the mortal world, but I always thought they were tricks to deceive children or fictitious existences. It turns out there is another reason for this." Zhou Hao turned his worries into understanding.
…
In the blink of an eye, the master and apprentice had finished a large plate of Chinese food, but there were too many snake-tailed fire fishes, and the grilled and ungrilled ones piled up like a hill.
"belch!"
Zhou Hao burped and felt that his whole body was full of strength. He ran on the rock wall in the center of the earth and began to "walk".
At this time, Yun Fang also disappeared, leaving Zhou Hao with an Immortal Summoning Jade when he left.
"Zheng!"
The fairy sword was unsheathed and its blade was as white as frost. Zhou Hao practiced his sword in the magma lake. He tapped the surface of the lake lightly, and the sword blade cut across the hot lake water. The ethereal sword sound echoed through the magma underground world.
Yunmiao's swordsmanship is the unity of heaven and man. Zhou Hao moved his sword as he pleased, the sword glow flickered, and the cold light was frightening. With a bang, pillars of lava and fire shot up from the lake. However, the fire pillars that came in were also gone quickly. After a while, the fire pillars fell down, and the lava spread all over Zhou Hao's body. .
He didn't feel hot. On the contrary, Zhou Hao felt a little cold, because his strength was still too weak, and he was still a weak figure in Yunmiao Immortal Palace. What's more, his master was still controversial. The identity of Yun Fang's new disciple made him feel uncomfortable. He must work hard to become stronger, otherwise he will be bullied.
"No, I want to become stronger, I must become stronger! Cao Shuang and Su Qing helped me the first two times, but I am also an immortal, and I cannot always rely on others' favor to be protected. That is a sign of a coward. I have to use my own Use your strength to protect yourself and win respect!" Zhou Hao clenched his fists, the fairy sword in his hand emitted a blazing light, and he practiced Yunmiao Sword Technique again.
Time flies, and ten years have passed by. Zhou Hao's hair has become thicker, and his face has not changed much and is still as delicate and fair. However, his immortal power has increased rapidly. Now, any disciple of the Immortal Immortal can be killed in front of him. Feel the aura of celestial energy released from outside.
Zhou Hao has been using fire essence to temper his body for the past ten years. His physical body can be said to be very strong and strong. The rapid accumulation of immortal power is inseparable from the fire essence tempering his body.
"Well, the master told me that I can't go into the lake to provoke the creatures at the bottom of the lake when I'm not strong enough. But I can't really grow if I stay here and practice quietly. So I'll just go down to the lake to meet those snake-tailed fire fish kings for a while, so I can test them. Test my cultivation."
Looking at the steaming lava lake with red bubbles, Zhou Hao couldn't help but rub his hands. In the past ten years, he had practiced swords, tempered his body, accumulated immortal power, and even grilled and eaten thousands of snake tail fire fish. He felt like Compared with ten years ago, I have undergone a 180-degree change. Even if I face those big guys again, I can still fight!
Thinking of this, Zhou Hao felt his blood boiling. He was tired of the life of practicing alone. He wanted to find something to vent his anger on. He wanted to take risks and fight.
"Plop!"
Zhou Hao jumped into the lake, and then rushed into the depths of the magma without looking back. He was very fast, even faster than the snake-tailed fire fish. He dived deep all the way to look for the snake-tailed fire fish king, as if A militant.
"Hey, this is...?"
Suddenly, Zhou Hao found a huge skeleton lying in front of him. It looked like a fish bone, but the tailbone at the back was very long and thin.
"Could this be the skeleton of a snake-tailed fire fish king?" Zhou Hao thought to himself.
"Ouch!"
A loud roar came, and a big golden fish swam from behind the skeleton. It looked like a shark, but it had two sharp fangs, and its back was not fins but sharp spikes, seven or eight in length. So many roots.
The big fish's fangs were stained with blood, but it was obviously someone else's blood. Its big eyes were extremely scarlet, and it was not a kind creature at first glance. Its huge body swam and smashed the skeleton of the snake-tailed fire fish king next to it.
At this time, Zhou Hao saw an even more terrifying sight. There were many skeletons behind the golden fish as well as the torn Snake Tail Fire Fish King. It looked like they had been eaten by the big fish and their bodies were left with skeletons!
"Oh? New food is here?" Big Fish saw Zhou Hao and started talking.
"You... what kind of fish are you?" Zhou Hao was also a little confused. This big golden fish was so evil that it could actually talk.
"Hey, come into my belly and I'll tell you." Big Fish even sneered, which made Zhou Hao even more surprised.
The next moment, the big fish opened its bloody mouth, and the jagged steel teeth in its mouth shone coldly. There was blood flowing on it, and the fishy smell hit the nostrils.
Clenching his fists, Zhou Hao's eyes flashed coldly, he shouted and rushed directly towards the golden fish. The latter was also a little surprised that such a small creature dared to rush towards him.
