The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 264. Don’t eat randomly
Chapter 264: 264. Don’t eat randomly
When the dark figure appeared in front of him, Fang Zhou finally saw clearly what this giant aquatic creature was.
It turned out to be a gigantic catfish.
It opened its blood-red mouth towards Fang Zhou and Zhao Luofei, a mouth that was much larger than a door.
Tam, is that you?
This thought flashed through Fang Zhou’s mind instantly, leaving him no time to do anything. He and Zhao Luofei were bitten by this native Tam and swallowed into its belly.
The Xuanyuan Sword arrived tardily at this moment and abruptly slashed the catfish, tearing open a huge gash.
The catfish writhed in pain in the water, countless torrents surging, even stirring up the silt and large rocks at the river bottom, making the river water churn.
This catfish, having grown so large, was no ordinary creature but a monster that had become refined; water control was this catfish demon’s innate divine ability, extremely powerful and able to shatter enormous rocks.
This river was the catfish demon’s home ground; every cultivator who fell into it would be suppressed, unable to move amid the torrents, eventually being devoured by the catfish demon.
But this Xuanyuan Sword was almost a nemesis to the catfish demon, slender and fast, nearly unaffected by the currents, with exceptionally strong attack power.
The catfish demon could do nothing against the Xuanyuan Sword and suffered several cuts from it. Luckily, its skin was thick and flesh tough, so these minor injuries were insignificant.
It was preparing to bypass the Xuanyuan Sword to devour those who had fallen into the water when it saw the Xuanyuan Sword suddenly split into eight, surrounding it with a momentum as if it were going to slice it into sashimi.
The catfish demon was terrified instantly, disregarding its owner’s command, and dove down into the riverbed, beginning its escape.
The eight Xuanyuan Swords followed closely behind on a pursuit.
On the river surface, as the large ship was capsized, the battle had come to an end.
Two rogue cultivators could not withstand Yu Qing and Xuan Ling’s attacks and directly jumped into the river to escape, since their goal was already reached and staying longer was impossible.
Yu Qing and Xuan Ling naturally couldn’t go into the water to chase; the water surface rippled, and it was unclear what happened beneath.
They began assisting the guards and attendants who had fallen into the water, pulling them onto the enemy’s still intact large ship.
Gou Cheng landed on the ship with Qiao Sen, both looking quite embarrassed.
Yu Qing asked curiously, "Where is Mr. Ling?"
Gou Cheng and Qiao Sen felt even more embarrassed, and Gou Cheng had to recount the incident of forgetting to rescue Fang Zhou.
Yu Qing had a strange expression, while Xuan Ling laughed loudly without regard for her image.
She could imagine Fang Zhou, who clearly could fly, but couldn’t due to hiding his identity, watching himself fall into the water with a sense of grievance.
Yu Qing was also amused, saying, "When he comes up, you explain it to him yourself."
Despite this, Yu Qing believed that given Gou Cheng’s character, he wouldn’t deliberately do something to embarrass Fang Zhou.
Back when Gou Cheng first joined the mountain, True Master Yu Jian had wanted to take him as a disciple, saying his nature was pure and gentle, very compatible with the way of Sword Control, but unfortunately was intercepted by another higher-up.
The four of them, although showing different expressions, weren’t too anxious. Fang Zhou’s strength was evident, there shouldn’t be any accidents.
However, after searching thoroughly, everyone’s expressions became serious and the atmosphere grew tense.
They couldn’t find Fang Zhou’s presence. Not only him, but even General Zhao Luofei was missing.
After searching for half a day without finding them, Xuan Ling even went underwater specifically to look for them, but didn’t discover any trace or body.
Only then did they confirm the two were no longer in this place, whereabouts unknown.
Gou Cheng felt quite guilty, Xuan Ling stood aside, staring at the rolling river water, without making any sarcastic remarks.
Seeing this, Yu Qing comforted, "Junior Brother Gou Cheng, don’t blame yourself. With Mr. Ling’s skills, I believe even the Innate Realm couldn’t harm him. It might be there’s a special reason that forced him to leave temporarily."
Yu Qing was more worried than anyone about Fang Zhou’s safety, but with Fang Zhou absent, she as the true inheritor had to take on the leadership role and couldn’t show any panic or confusion.
If True Master Yu Jian hadn’t requested Fang Zhou as a guardian for this journey, it should have been Yu Qing leading originally, and her training truly begins now.
With disaster striking before they had achieved anything significant, Yu Qing had to rally the team.
She turned to the gloomy Qiao Sen, saying, "Priscess Qiao Sen, we can’t delay any longer, let’s move." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"Ah? Just leave like this?"
Qiao Sen, alarmed by Yu Qing’s words, said, "Aren’t we going to keep searching? Mr. Ling and General Zhao might still be somewhere in the river."
Although she was a monarch, throughout the journey, it was Zhao Luofei who supported and assisted her, and now without Zhao Luofei beside her, she felt as if her backbone had vanished, growing somewhat flustered and helpless.
"There’s no need, with Mr. Ling’s skills, he won’t be in trouble, Captain Zhao should be taken away by Mr. Ling."
Yu Qing said with determination, "Staying here would only waste time; better return to the capital sooner and trust that Mr. Ling and the general will catch up."
Qiao Sen, unaccustomed to the suddenly assertive Yu Qing, had no choice but to heed her advice, ordering her subordinates to set sail and continue the journey.
...
Fang Zhou was now feeling quite uncomfortable, after being swallowed by the catfish demon, surrounded by powerful intestinal muscles, nearly squeezing him and Zhao Luofei into noodles.
Although Zhao Luofei was in the Foundation Establishment Realm, she was also squeezed into unconsciousness by this terrifying force. If they slid into the stomach like this, they’d soon be digested.
Fortunately, Fang Zhou’s physical strength was much greater than Zhao Luofei’s; he remained conscious and unperturbed.
Due to three years of private lessons with Chang Kong, Fang Zhou had countless experiences of being swallowed by giant creatures, even being expelled as waste afterward, so this situation was only a minor inconvenience.
He directly shot out an invisible sword qi, piercing the catfish’s slick smooth intestinal wall muscle, then reached in to hold onto the wound to prevent them from slipping into the stomach.
As long as they don’t enter the stomach, they could endure in the intestines for a long time, according to experience.
The surrounding intestinal walls continually pulsed and compressed, secreting a large amount of slippery fluid, attempting to push them into the stomach.
Zhao Luofei, even unconscious, moaned in pain, her entire being almost being kneaded into Fang Zhou’s body.
Despite the situation, Fang Zhou wasn’t in the mood to enjoy Zhao Luofei’s alluring and sensuous figure; after all, the catfish demon’s intestinal walls felt smooth, elastic, delightfully slippery to touch with lots of moisture.
In Fang Zhou’s experience, just being stuck at this place, the demon that swallowed them would feel very uncomfortable and would eventually have to spit them out within a few days.
But Fang Zhou couldn’t wait that long; he could still sense the Xuanyuan Sword outside the demon, so he controlled the Xuanyuan Sword to keep attacking the demon.
The catfish demon was fleeing and rolling around under the Xuanyuan Sword’s attack, causing Fang Zhou inside to feel dizzy, unable to tell up from down.
Fang Zhou wasn’t idle either. Once the invisible sword qi cooled down, he pierced the demon’s intestinal wall with a hole using Hu Lai’s left hand.
Then he inserted Hu Lai’s left hand and unleashed a Big Fireball Skill.
This move was called Directional Explosion.
