Chapter 420: Monster Food
On the ninth floor of the Fusang sacred tree, in the vast water kingdom of God, Chen Jiu was suspended in the sea water four or five thousand miles deep, silently scanning the surroundings.
Although there are not many species of sirens in this sea area, there are many of them, especially the demon king-level bull ghosts, which come in groups and are countless.
However, he did not start to catch them because he wanted to thoroughly investigate the entire sea area to see how many sirens there were.
He scanned the area silently for a while, then flashed to a distance of five thousand miles and continued to scan carefully with his spiritual sense.
No one knew how big this water kingdom was. He had flashed in one direction five or six times, and had covered a distance of more than 30,000 miles, but he still hadn't reached the edge of this sea.
He kept in one direction, and finally, he found another huge group of shrimps. This group of shrimps was larger than any group of shrimps he had caught into the demonic power space. There were densely packed shrimps in the area of thousands of miles, and the number was probably several million.
However, he was still not in a hurry to catch it, because he found that this was a vibrant water kingdom. The sirens in the entire sea area had formed a complete food chain, and these sirens had been multiplying and living in it for who knows how many tens of thousands of years.
This is not the demonic power space where the snake demon is located. The snake demons in that demonic power space seem to be unable to reproduce and all the first-level True Gods have died. The second-level and third-level True Gods will surely follow suit and slowly die out. Therefore, he caught them all without hesitation.
The sirens in this sea area are different. These sirens obviously do not have long lifespans, but they can maintain such a large number, so they should be able to reproduce in large numbers.
He didn't want to drain the pond and catch all the sirens. He wanted to leave enough sirens so that they could continue to reproduce and thrive. He even wanted to find a way to inject water spiritual energy, demon energy and various spiritual energies into it to keep this water kingdom full of vitality. In this way, he would have endless sirens to catch.
As the saying goes, big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps. The shrimp monsters in this sea area are obviously the food for other sea monsters to survive. He can't catch all these shrimp monsters. If he catches all these shrimp monsters, the sea monsters in this sea area will probably slowly starve to death and die out.
He had to catch them in batches according to species, trying his best to keep the food chain here balanced, so that the sirens in this sea could continue to reproduce and thrive.
This requires him to explore the entire sea area carefully.
To be honest, this is very time-consuming. He still doesn't know how big this sea area is, nor does he know how long it will take to explore it.
He kept dodging and exploring like this, and after dodging more than ten times, he finally reached the edge of this water kingdom and detected the chaotic energy on the edge.
This was not enough, he had to turn around and flash back, all the way to the edge of the chaotic energy on the other side, because he had no idea where in the entire sea he started to flash from.
Only when he turned around and flashed back from the edge of the chaotic energy did he realize how big the entire sea was.
This time he didn't need to investigate carefully. He just kept flashing back one after another, counting the number of times as he flashed. As a result, it took him eighteen flashes to reach the edge of the chaotic energy on the other side.
In other words, this water kingdom is like his demonic power space, with a radius of more than 90,000 miles.
How many sirens are there in such a vast sea area?
He certainly couldn't count the exact number, he could only go in circles, flashing continuously, constantly checking, and estimate the approximate number.
He didn't know how long he had been searching inside, but he finally had a rough idea in his mind.
There are more than a dozen shrimps of all sizes in this sea area, with a number of tens of millions, while the number of cow ghosts, conger eel monsters, crab monsters, etc. has decreased by dozens of times.
In other words, there are roughly hundreds of thousands of demon king-level bull ghosts and tens of thousands of demon god-level conger eel monsters and crab monsters.
It was easy to catch them after he had a rough idea of their number. He directly flashed to the surface of the sea, probed his spiritual sense into the demonic power space and started to work.
His main intention was to capture a large number of shrimp monsters and train them. As for the cow ghosts, they could not be collected into the monster power space and could not be trained. As for other monster god-level sea monsters, it was not cost-effective to train them. They might not grow too big even after hundreds or thousands of years of training. There was no point at all.
Only the shrimp monster has the most promising future for cultivation, because there are many shrimp monsters, and the lowest level is the small monster level. As long as it is cultivated into a big monster, the blood and energy generated will double. As long as it is cultivated into a monster king, it will be more than ten times.
In other words, as long as he captured millions of shrimp monsters and put them in the demon power space to cultivate them into monster kings, it would be equivalent to catching tens of millions of small shrimp monsters.
Moreover, there are so many shrimp monsters here that catching one or two million to cultivate them will not have much impact. As long as the corresponding number of cow ghosts, conger eel monsters, crab monsters, etc. are captured, the number of shrimp monsters here will probably recover in a few years.
Now, he wanted to make a big bowl or a big lake or a sea in his own demon power space, preparing to cultivate the shrimp demon.
At this moment, Zhang Qian no longer lived in the demonic power space. It didn't matter if the divine kingdom of two or three thousand miles in radius was made into a bowl. And the fairy palace he had collected from the original sky was even less of a problem if it was made into a bowl.
As his spiritual consciousness moved, the earth spiritual energy in the earth-based kingdom of God poured into the demonic power space in large quantities. A circle of continuous mountains quickly grew along the edge of the kingdom of God that was two or three thousand miles long. It was not until it grew to dozens of miles high that he stopped infusing the earth spiritual energy.
Then, he drew out the Star-Splitting Mace, flashed into the sea, and killed all the demons and monsters within a radius of two to three thousand miles. Then, he used his spiritual sense to wrap up the sea water within a radius of two to three thousand miles and pulled it into the demon power space.
With a loud splash, an ocean with a radius of two to three thousand miles appeared in his demonic power space.
At this time, the huge mountain hanging upside down in the sky slowly fell into the sea.
This is because the gravity has increased, so we need to increase the distance.
He used his spiritual sense to carefully pull out those inverted mountains, and then he flashed to the sky above the largest shrimp group.
This group of shrimp monsters has millions of them, which is really too big. The other sea monsters in this sea area simply cannot consume them. It is precisely because they cannot consume them that this group of shrimp monsters has become so large. If he does not capture a batch of them, this group of shrimp monsters will become even larger, possibly to an area of thousands or even tens of thousands of miles in radius.
By then the food chain in this sea area will be out of balance, because there are too many shrimps to be eaten, and the more they are eaten, the more they become. It's like the rabbits in a certain state. When there are too many to a certain level, it will be a disaster, and no grass will grow wherever they pass.
So, he had to capture most of them.
If most of them were captured, there would be at least two million of them.
He wrapped most of it with his spiritual sense and threw it into the sea of demonic power, and was immediately dumbfounded.
Because the sea in his demonic power space is not deep enough, such a large number of shrimp monsters are thrown in. These shrimp monsters are crowded together before they grow up. If they grow up, they will be squeezed out!
It seems that we need to make some small bowls, otherwise, the shrimp monsters will die in large numbers when squeezed out, and they cannot be raised to the level of monster king at all.
At this moment, the only thing in his demonic power space was a small fairy palace he had collected from the High Sky Plain. It was only about two or three hundred miles in radius . It was very easy to process it into a large bowl, and it was also easy to pour sea water into it.
He didn't even have to carry the Star-Splitting Machete to kill the bull ghosts. He just had to find an area without bull ghosts and bring in a ball of sea water.
The problem is that a bowl like this can only support about 100,000 shrimp monsters, and if there are more, they will be squeezed out.
What should I do?
He frowned and thought for a while, and soon thought of a place.
That place is the demonic power space where the snake demon is located. There are so many immortal palaces and divine kingdoms floating in it, so just collect some of them in.
Thinking of this, he flashed to the surface of the sea and quickly got out of this water kingdom.
He was about to enter the demonic space, but Sun Wukong and his disciples standing outside raised their hands and said, "Master, Master, wait a minute."
What's wrong with these guys?
Chen Jiu couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's wrong, is the Tianzun of Hongmeng Sect here?"
Sun Dasheng shook his head and said, "No, it was Lord Ape who came here and asked you why you didn't go to the God Realm."
Even the Ape God has come to ask?
Chen Jiu looked at the sky and then asked, "How many days have I been in this water kingdom?"
Sun Dasheng said without hesitation: "Master, you have been in there for almost ten days."
Sure enough, he only knew that the time was quite long, but he didn't calculate carefully how many days it was.
It has been almost ten days, plus the original seven or eight days, it is more than half a month. No wonder Xi Tianzun would come to ask.
Chen Jiu thought about it, and then said decisively: "If Master Wei comes again, tell him not to worry. I will go to the God Realm in one or two days at most."
After saying that, he whooshed into the demonic power space where the snake demon was originally.
There were more than a hundred floating immortal palaces and divine kingdoms here, and there was actually no use in keeping them here. After thinking about it, he simply made a big circle inside, collecting all the immortal palaces and divine kingdoms floating on the periphery into his own demonic power space, leaving only the one in the middle with a radius of thousands of miles.
At this time, there were a large circle of immortal palaces and divine kingdoms of all sizes arranged outside his demonic power space, which was enough for him to use.
He slightly distanced these immortal palaces and divine kingdoms to avoid a slow collision, and then he rushed out of the demonic power space and entered the water divine kingdom.
Then he started making bowls again.
In order to avoid messing up the gravity in his demonic power space, the bowl could not be made too big. He could only choose the immortal palaces with a radius of hundreds of miles to make a bowl, and then wrap sea water in it, and slowly spread it out in a large circle around the sea with a radius of two or three thousand miles in the middle.
He made more than ten large bowls that were hundreds of miles in radius, and the shrimp monsters in the middle were finally not crowded together. At this time, all the shrimp monsters were almost four meters long.
This proves that the speed at which these shrimp monsters absorb the demonic energy is truly astonishing, many times faster than the monsters under his command.
Perhaps, within a few months these shrimp monsters will advance to become monster kings!
This speed is so amazing. From now on, the monsters under his command will never be short of monster meat.
He silently observed for a while in his own demonic power space, then flashed into the sea and killed tens of thousands of cow ghosts and thousands of sea eel monsters, crab monsters and so on, then he came out of the water kingdom and let out a long sigh.
When Sun Dasheng saw his master coming out, he asked carefully, "Master, two days have passed. Are you going to the divine realm?"
We will have to wait for this.
Chen Jiu thought about it carefully, then took his four disciples to the kingdom of God, and returned to the palace complex in a flash.
It was getting dark again. Yunxiao Tianzun and his men had just returned after ten days of guarding the Sea of Divine Trees. A group of fairies were directing the spirit chefs to prepare a bonfire dinner.
Seeing him coming back, Jiaona couldn't help but said in surprise, "Ajiu, you are finally back. Peng Ye's stomach is too big, and he ate all the sea eel monsters. Do you have any left?
Last time he seemed to have caught only two or three moray eels. It has been more than ten days now, so it is not surprising that he ate them all.
Chen Jiu smiled slightly and said, "Yes, I will give you enough this time."
After saying that, he raised his hand and took out ten sea eel monsters.
This is not because he only caught ten, but mainly because the large tables on both sides of the square can accommodate so many.
Seeing Jiaona had collected nine, Chen Jiu smiled and asked, "Do you want more ?"
Jiaona shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, no, this is enough to last for several months."
Well, enough to last for a few months.
He actually didn't come here specifically to deliver seafood to these fairies.
Now he has enough sea monster meat, and he has also found several demon power spaces. It is time to let these two or three hundred thousand demon fairies in the mortal world go into seclusion and practice.
However, he couldn't just throw the person into the demonic power space and leave him there.
After all, even demons and fairies need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate. If we just throw them in and leave them alone, we'll probably have to collect their bodies within a month.
This needs to be arranged carefully.
He looked at the ten huge iron pots on both sides of the square, then at the busy spiritual chefs, and couldn't help falling into deep thought.
With two or three hundred thousand demon fairies, how many spirit chefs should be arranged to stew demon beast soup for them? What kind of demon beast meat should he give to these demon fairies?
This also needs to be carefully considered. After all, it takes time for these demon fairies to become gods. Even if there is enough demon energy in those demon power spaces, and even if he can continuously provide demon beast meat, it will still take a long time to train these 200,000 or 300,000 demon fairies into gods.
