Flying Fish (Part 2)

The flying fish descended onto the youth’s shoulder and called for another flying fish, one smaller than itself. The two tweeted cheerfully to each other and then the lightning in the sky. Red vital essence spilled from the youth’s seven orifices. The seven trails fused into two tracks and slithered to the two fiend beasts. The two fiend beasts glowed brighter, while a rainbow stretched across the sky. The youth withered and was reduced to a sack of bones once his vital essence spilt out. His spiritual qi became essence for the two fiend beasts.

Mu Yu didn’t assist the youth as he assumed the youth would be teleported back to Third Continent once he crushed the jade piece. Never did he imagine the youth would die before crushing the jade. Mu Yu hadn’t come across any fiend beast so proficient at killing its target. The tag team strategy wouldn’t work since Xiaoshuai couldn’t fit in the tiny fish. Honestly, Mu Yu didn’t know how he’d face them if he was forced.

“Hey, I recognise those two flying fish,” remarked Xiaoshuai.

“Your distant relatives?”

“Obviously not. You remember the screen that blocked our path at the passageway in the underground palace? Remember the two fishes we saw on the screen? That’s them. Remember how I told you I heard them say it was raining outside? They were there when we were, but they left fr the rain.”

“That’s them? That mean we have the rain to thank for saving us? I prefer fiend beasts who abandon their duty for fun. They have my support.”

One of the birds summoned a lightning strike on the jade piece after inspecting it. As a result, a violent vortex enveloped the youth in a light golden energy and sucked him in.

“It’s in our best interests to not provoke them. Let’s go.”

The two flying fish said something again.

“In my language?”

“They said I’m special. Apparently, very few fiend beasts understand their language. I told them my unrivalled good looks are the reason I am an expert on various languages. Sadly, they don’t understand the concept of being handsome. Slow fishes.”

Mu Yu: Thank heavens for that.

The sky gradually brightened as the rain and thunder bowed out. The flying birds suddenly fell into a panic-stricken state and flew off after imparting a few last words with Xiaoshuai.

“They can only fly if there’s rain. Strange fellows.”

Mu Yu was praying they wouldn’t zap him for taking the core in the underground palace. They didn’t seem aware. Still, it was wise to run before the worst was realised.

When the two flying fishes returned to the entrance of the underground palace, Qiao Xue was standing above the waterfall. In a soft voice, she remarked, “You kept me waiting.”

Qiao Xue was watching Mu Yu from behind the waterfall when he was on the stone bridge. The two wining fish frantically cried out because they picked up the fiend king core’s aura on her. The waterfall smashed and turned to mist. The winning fish transformed the into ice darts and fired them at Qiao Xue.

“Water deity fiends, winning fish. Grandpa Dragon’s instructions were right. Fighting me with water isn’t wise,” mocked Qiao Xue, grinning as she prepared her blue ribbon.
