Chapter 973: Void White Fish (3)
"Got a bite." The young fisherman beamed with joy. "Fish soup on a stormy day, what a wonderful thing."
Li Xiaofei’s eyes narrowed as he stared at the white fish. The creature’s entire body was wreathed in lightning, and an immensely powerful thunderous pressure radiated from within it, like the aura of a fearsome beast.
This wasn’t a fish at all. It was a stage nine Void Beast. So the Land of Sacred Fall wasn’t entirely devoid of life; there were Void Beasts surviving here. The young fisherman continued fishing for a while longer. In total, he caught three fish.
"Come, come, you’re in for a real treat today, young friend." Grinning from ear to ear, the fisherman took out a grill, a pile of firewood, and a black pot from his storage pouch. He began preparing the fish with practiced ease, one to be grilled, the other to be boiled.
The two large white fish were expertly gutted and cleaned. One was skewered and set to roast over the flames. The other was placed into the pot to simmer. His movements were incredibly smooth and Li Xiaofei recognized the black pot instantly.
Isn’t that the same pot from the Burial Ice Cliff?
A replica?
He couldn’t help but ask again, "Senior, are you the Sword Immortal Lin Beichen?"
The young fisherman still gave no answer. Instead, he said, "Eat the fish first. If it’s overcooked or turns cold, it won’t taste any good."
Li Xiaofei accepted half a piece of grilled fish. A rich, mouthwatering aroma hit his nose, stirring hunger deep within him. But just then, for reasons he couldn’t explain, Li Xiaofei instinctively turned to look at the third remaining fish. It was the largest of the white fish. It lay curled up inside the fish basket, which hung from a rocky outcrop at the edge of the cliff.
