Chapter 848: Fish Lizards
Confused, Max followed the rat’s line of sight and what he saw made his eyes narrow. Just ahead, a massive school of strange fish swam in tight formation. These weren’t ordinary fish.
Though small in size, each one had sapphire-blue eyes that shimmered like gems in the water, and their bodies were covered in snake-like scales that gave them an almost draconic appearance. The air in the water felt heavier near them, and their movements were sharp, almost intelligent.
"Fish Lizards," Max muttered under his breath, recognizing the species with a grave expression. They were dangerous—fast, coordinated, and capable of using their sharp fins like blades in the water. But more importantly, their presence here triggered a thought. ’Could Fish Dragon Grass be nearby?’
Fish Lizards were social monsters, known for traveling in schools and dying in the same area when their time came. And where they died, Fish Dragon Grass—rare herbs that absorbed their essence—would often grow.
Max hesitated for a moment. It was risky, but the reward was worth it.
He gently tapped the golden rat, who obediently slipped into the Dimension of Spirit.
Once inside, the little rate went wild. It began exploring the new world his master had given him.
Max then activated his concealment techniques and slowly, carefully, moved forward through the underwater terrain. As he crept closer to the school of Fish Lizards, he saw that they were resting among a thick bed of coral reefs. His soul power swept across the area like a thin net, scanning with precision.
Amidst the vibrant corals, he spotted what he’d hoped for—skeletal remains of Fish Lizards. And more importantly, growing between those bones were several lush green spiritual herbs, about a foot long. They were shaped eerily like the creatures they came from—slender and sharp, like aquatic lizards with leafy textures.
"Fish Dragon Grass," Max whispered, his heart pounding with joy.
