Volume 4: It's Dark, Please Close Your Eyes Chapter 64 Fish, rich in DHA...
On the dark lakeshore, the predators' saliva had already dripped out, and the shiny saliva looked particularly disgusting.
Among them, the two-star One-eyed Suzaku at the back made a cooing sound in restlessness.
The one-eyed Vermilion Bird has a big mouth, and there is something like a water bag under its jaw. It should be able to eat a lot of food in one meal. Before, they put the half-demons in their mouths to keep them fresh, and then brought them here to kill them.
That Arctic swordfish looked quite large.
But for the One-eyed Vermilion Bird, it was just a small fish, so, their distribution was probably also a big problem. It was hard to say whether the two-star One-eyed Vermilion Bird could get a bite.
Tang Xiaotang whispered, "Master? It looks like a fight is about to start here. Should we leave now?"
Zheng Qian muttered, "Let me analyze it. First, the one-eyed redbird needs bait to lure out the Arctic swordfish, and it is standing very carefully on the shore, which means that its strength may not be as good as the Arctic swordfish, so..."
"Well, your analysis makes a lot of sense." Hua Yingxiu smiled sincerely before he finished speaking.
"So, let's leave here quickly!" Jiang Wuyan nodded quickly.
"Huh?" Zheng Qian was puzzled. "I just started to say..."
"That's great. Fortunately, I just started talking about it!" Tang Xiaotang nodded deeply.
Although they said they were leaving, Tang Zheng didn't say anything, so they didn't move.
Seeing that all their eyes turned to him, Tang Zheng knew that he had to speak up: "Um...are you hungry?"
"..." Tang Xiaotang had just finished saying the word "say" when she almost choked on her saliva.
As a result, Hua Yingxiu actually asked very seriously: "But whether it is the one-eyed red bird or the far northern swordfish, we can't eat it, right?"
Tang Xiaotang stopped Hua Yingxiu from being led into a trap by Tang Zheng in time: "Master, you are really hopeless!"
"Well, I'm really hopeless." Although Tang Zheng could make up a hundred reasons, he didn't want to tell a single lie now, "Because, I really wanted to kill that fish, but I couldn't remember how this fish offended me."
He spread his hands, and the four people beside him were stunned.
Why would Tang Zheng have anything to do and fight with fish?
Tang Zheng touched his head again and added a little guiltily: "Well, fish... are the oldest vertebrates in the world. They are rich in protein, thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin B6, B12, vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other minerals... They are also rich in DHA, which is very helpful in improving memory..."
A group of people looked at him as if he were a fool.
Tang Xiaotang sighed: "Well, although I don't understand what you said, but it seems that there is indeed a big grudge?"
"Then kill it." Zheng Qian nodded.
"Should we kill the One-eyed Vermilion Bird first, or wait until they finish fighting before killing it?" Jiang Wuyan asked.
"Well, although I didn't understand it either, since you said it helps improve memory, maybe after killing it, you will remember why you killed it?" Hua Yingxiu's words were a bit confusing.
After killing it, maybe I'll remember why I killed it...
This logic is really the logic of a strong man with a middle school mentality!
Tang Zheng patted Hua Yingxiu's head and said, "Well, this kind of words are not suitable for a lady to say. The style is wrong!"
He didn't expect his teammates to understand.
Because he himself didn't understand why he wanted to kill the fish.
But he said it, and they believed it.
Without another word, he went straight from "why kill" to "how to kill".
"While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. Let's be the fisherman first." Tang Zheng had completely come back to his senses. "However, what Zheng Qian said just now makes sense. The one-eyed redbird needs bait to lure out the Arctic swordfish, and it is standing very carefully on the shore, which means that its strength may not be as good as the Arctic swordfish. Let's observe the Arctic swordfish's fighting style first, so as to achieve the final fatal blow."
"I...what's the point of what I said?" Zheng Qian finally managed to avoid being slapped in the face, so he had to slap himself in the face, "The one-eyed redbird needs bait to lure out the Arctic swordfish, and it's standing very carefully on the shore...it only means that they can't swim!"
"Hahaha." Tang Xiaotang covered her mouth and almost laughed out loud.
"What are you laughing at! Speak reasonably!" Zheng Qian looked aggrieved.
Crash.
While a few people were talking, the sound of splashing water broke the calm surface of the water!
The dark shadow under the water accelerated...
Accompanied by splashing water, a black shadow rushed out of the water!
What surprised Tang Zheng and his friends was that as soon as the Arctic Swordfish came out of the water, one, two, three, four... four shining demonic fires rose up, turning the water surface into a blood-red color.
This Far North Swordfish possesses the strength of a peak four-star level, and is on par with the leader of the one-eyed Vermillion Bird.
However, in the world of demons, one really cannot calculate based on absolute strength!
The Arctic Swordfish flipped over, and with a quick sweep of its tail, it knocked the four-star One-eyed Vermilion Bird into the water!
Chirp, chirp, chirp...
The other one-eyed Vermilion Birds were horrified and flapped their wings to rise high into the sky.
"The one-eyed Vermilion Bird can only see straight ahead. Unfortunately, the tail just now came from the side..." Tang Zheng said thoughtfully.
He had previously judged that the reason why the One-eyed Redbird hung the bait so far away to fish might be because the Arctic swordfish had a low IQ and did not even have a basic sense of distance.
However, after this fight, he could tell that it was probably not the case!
The only one who has no sense of distance is probably the One-eyed Vermilion Bird...
The Arctic Swordfish is angry!
Because it knew that those half-demons were hanging not far from it, but it just couldn't eat them - because this group of one-eyed Suzaku were stupid.
Tang Zheng had an idea and pulled the others back a few steps: "Prepare for battle. It may have noticed us."
This time, the arguments Zheng Qian analyzed were wrong.
However, the conclusion drawn is completely correct - the One-eyed Vermilion Bird is really no match for the Far North Swordfish!
After being knocked into the water by the Far North Swordfish, the four-star One-eyed Vermilion Bird immediately jumped out of the water with its speed advantage. However, just as it jumped out and created a little wave, it was knocked back into the water by the Far North Swordfish's tail!
Zheng Qian’s conclusion is not only correct.
Moreover, it is a bit too correct!
When the two monsters, both at the peak of the four-star level, fought each other, such a repressive situation occurred.
"Well, it did notice us." Tang Zheng had removed the word "maybe" because the fish had always been fighting towards them.
During the water battle with the One-eyed Vermilion Bird, it never turned its back to Tang Zheng and his team.
If it weren't for not noticing them, there would be no other explanation.
When a fish fights in the water, it is truly like a fish in water. Although the One-eyed Vermilion Bird is incredibly fast and the flames from its eyes can directly turn a certain part of the Arctic Swordfish's body into grilled fish, it is indeed no match for the Arctic Swordfish in the water.
When the words "grilled fish" popped up in Tang Zheng's mind, he seemed to remember something more.
"Xu Qingyan seemed to say that someone used the Arctic swordfish to feed the cubs..."
It’s okay, don’t think about it for now.
Just like Hua Yingxiu said, kill him first and talk later. Maybe he will remember it after killing him.
The One-eyed Vermilion Bird's hair was not wet by the water. A layer of light red mist covered its body protected it from drowning. However, as the water arrows spit out from the mouth of the Arctic Swordfish, the number of times it could dodge them became fewer and fewer.
The blood of the One-eyed Vermilion Bird is pink, which looks quite beautiful.
But no matter how beautiful it is, it is still blood!
Moreover, the pink blood smelled very bad. It floated on the water like a layer of grease, quickly polluting the water area. The Arctic swordfish couldn't help but turn its head and sink, and no longer fight with it.
The one-eyed Vermilion Bird screamed sharply and launched a final attack on the Arctic Swordfish that was affected by its blood.
The Arctic swordfish's water arrows were shooting everywhere, and the water surface was covered with splashes of water.
The sky has been lit up by the demonic fire of these two four-star monsters, making it as bright as a fluorescent light!
Just when this four-star one-eyed red bird was about to be defeated and killed, the group of one-eyed red birds that had been watching the battle for a long time in the sky above the lake all flapped their wings and swooped down...
"Uh, it...they..." Seeing the actions of the group of three-star one-eyed Vermilion Birds, Tang Xiaotang poked Tang Zheng with her finger.
That group of one-eyed red birds actually started eating!
While the four-star one-eyed Suzaku and the Far North Swordfish were still fighting, they took the roasted "grilled fish" parts of the Far North Swordfish and started to chew them...
That four-star one-eyed Suzaku is no longer effective.
However, the psychological and physical trauma of the Arctic Swordfish being eaten by so many One-eyed Redbirds at the same time is estimated to have increased exponentially!
It's still alive!
It was actually eaten up like this.
The key point is, if it had not fought with the four-star One-eyed Vermilion Bird, its demonic power could have protected itself. A group of three-star One-eyed Vermilion Birds could not even peck its skin, let alone directly eat it like this.
But those parts of its body that had been sprayed into "grilled fish" by the Four-Star One-Eyed Suzaku had no defensive capabilities at all!
"Ga...Ga..." A dull and unpleasant sound came from the mouth of the Arctic Swordfish. Now even if it wanted to break away from them and sink, it would be difficult to do so.
Behind a tree, Tang Zheng touched his nose: "It's the first time..."
Tang Xiaotang and the others looked at him strangely: "What do you mean the first time?"
“For the first time in my life, I know what a fish sounds like!”
"..." Tang Xiaotang knew without asking that his focus had deviated as usual.
