The Path Toward Heaven

Chapter 705 I'm Just a Fish with a Lot to Say

A fire carp is actually a carp, but it is called a fire carp because its body is red like a flame, and it lives in the veins of fire.

It is indeed a life at the level of a beast, otherwise it would not have lived for tens of thousands of years before reaching adulthood, so it would call itself the King of Fire Carp.

But in fact, it is still a child.

It looks timid and cowardly when encountering difficulties. It is always afraid of toughness when it wants to bully the weak, and its expression is innocent but talkative. It is because it has lived underground for tens of thousands of years but has never met or communicated with anyone, but that does not mean it is stupid.

They are also divine beasts born in response to fire. Not to mention that it can teach saints and change the world like Vermilion Bird, it is also extremely intelligent, and it is born to perceive secrets and dangers. It follows Master Bai to the underworld, and then goes up against the rain to the depths of the sea. Looking at the blood drops in the sky, it doesn't know what will greet it.

The blood beads are connected into a line, the lines are connected into a net, and the net is an array.

This large formation is full of blood and fear. The broken corpses in the sea and the stench of demon blood that the sea breeze has not blown away all day and night all clearly show that this is a powerful formation that needs blood sacrifices.

It let out a faint sigh, thinking with self-pity and a little bit of self-pity, there are not many divine beasts that are higher-level and more noble than itself in Chaotian Continent today, and its own blood is of course the most suitable treasure for sacrifice.

Thinking of this, all self-pity and embarrassment turned into fear and sadness—so I was going to die?

...

...

From Lengshan to Mingquan Secret Realm, it would be a very long journey if you walked on the ground of Chaotian Continent, but passing through the underworld shortened the distance a lot.

But in the face of death, no matter how short the distance is, it is enough for Huo Li to think many times about how to get out of trouble, and even kill Master Bai directly.

The problem is that countless years ago, the former ancestor of the Zhongzhou School used supreme supernatural powers to place extremely strong restrictions in its body. The restrictions are distributed all over its body, like sunlight cut by leaves or wind combed by willow branches. It is closely connected with its spirit and cannot be separated at all.

Not to mention sneak attacking Master Bai, even if he wanted to leave, the restriction would react, and then make his life worse than death.

It is definitely impossible to fight, but fortunately, Huo Li has another special skill that he is very good at, that is to say.

It raised its head to look at the sky and said: "Little friend Baiyuan, you see that I am much older than you, and my seniority is also much higher. Isn't it a little disrespectful for you to yell at me so casually?"

Master Bai stood in the sky several miles above the maelstrom, his gaze followed a black line in the sea, heading northwest.

The sea water there is obviously higher than other places, like a high mountain rising from the plain, it looks extremely magical, as if someone is doing something on the bottom of the sea.

Presumably the giant from another continent blocked the passage of sea water into the underworld, and at this time he was repairing the passage from the maelstrom to other places.

The fire carp shouted tremblingly: "How can I say that I am also a divine beast of Yunmeng Mountain! Although I have never been to Yunmeng Mountain since I was born...but it is because your ancestors said that there is no fire vein in the mountain. It is not because I have two hearts! I have been loyal to Zhongzhou for tens of thousands of years, how can you sacrifice my blood?"

Master Bai withdrew his gaze, looked at the fire carp sealed by the huge wall of sea water, and said, "Zhongzhou has raised you for more than 20,000 years, so it's time for you to do something for the Zhongzhou faction."

The fire carp wagged its tail twice, and yelled angrily: "Who raised me? Who raised me? You are not my little mother! I survived the fire by myself. When did you take care of me? If you come to see me every few hundred years, it counts as raising me? I don’t know you well! If I had known this, I might as well have voted for the Green Mountain Sect!"

Master Bai stretched out his fingers and drew a circle in front of him.

The previously scattered blood bead gradually condensed again, turning into a small blood-colored pagoda, which looks very similar to the ten-direction demon-subduing pagoda that Tan Zhenren took out in Qingshanzong.

Looking at the small bloody tower, Huo Li felt the shadow of death getting closer, and his voice trembled again: "Can we still discuss it?"

Bai Zhenren looked at the rising sea water in the maelstrom, and said with admiration: "Using the world as a furnace, the real person's methods are really amazing."

Huo Li thought that I was going to die, so why not wave his fins to cheer?

Master Bai went on to say: "This kind of method is beyond my ability, but it is still possible to do some things to add fuel to the fire."

The fire carp mumbled: "I am a fish, not a firewood."

Master Bai said: "The Styx River is fire, and the endless sea water is firewood. I just poured a spoonful of oil into the fire to enter the underworld. After all, I still have to add firewood. If you help me reopen the passage from the sea to the underworld, you will definitely leave a very important mark in the history of Chaotian Continent, and you can be regarded as a worthy death."

The fire carp was terrified, and said: "Don't worry, the real person, the bird in the Qingshan sect is also considered a divine beast, and its blood must be useful, so I'll help you pick it up?"

Master Bai said: "Even if Yin Feng is the leader of the battle, if Cao Yuan and that giant attack together, he will definitely die."

The fire carp shouted anxiously: "Even if you die, the blood doesn't have to be drained! Daoist let me pick the corpse!"

Master Bai closed his eyes, began to refine the small blood-colored pagoda, and ignored it.

"Then...or else, you let me go first. I pretended to submit to the Qingshan sect, went there as an undercover agent, and secretly slaughtered that old tortoise! ​​Drain its blood! I heard Tong Yan say that that old tortoise is older than me, and its blood must be more fragrant than mine!"

"Isn't that okay? My lord! I'm still young at this time, and the effect of blood may not be good. Otherwise, wait a few more days, and I'll be an adult soon, really! I definitely didn't lie to you. After a few days, after I become an adult, this disgusting... no, the handsome formation will definitely become stronger. Don't talk about opening the passage to the underworld.

"Real man, real man... Even if you want me to die, can you not be here? I don't like sea water. After I die, I sink to the bottom of the sea. Do you want me to become a salted fish?"

No matter whether it is reasoning with reason or emotion, or playing tricks, it has no effect.

Huo Li stopped talking, looked at the deeper and deeper blood lines in the sky, with a look of despair in his eyes, and decided to fight to the death.

As soon as the thought was born, it let out a scream, and began to writhe in pain in the mist splashed by the seawater waterfall.

Several extremely deep blood lines appeared on its body, and the extremely hard scales were cut open, making a crackling sound, like the strings of a piano being snapped.

The blood poured out from those wounds, and it started to burn when it met the sea breeze. Even if it fell in the sea water, the flame would still not go out.

The screams and cries of the fire carp kept coming out of the flames, just like a child.

Master Bai opened his eyes, pointed his right hand at the flame, with an extremely indifferent expression.

Click! Amid several terrifying cutting sounds, the fire carp shattered into countless pieces, fell into the sea water one after another, splashed some waves, and disappeared.
