192: Chapter 192 Dao Fruit Fish

Summoning Xiao Xing, Chi Anlin continued walking forward.

Whether it was the tomb or the Sword Grave, both had yielded great rewards for him.

However, back at the Sword Grave, Demonic Shade had seemed somewhat dismissive of his strength; he didn't know what realm that fellow had reached while alive, so he'd have to look it up once he got back.

Soon, Chi Anlin followed Xiao Xing to a lake. The surface was like a mirror, reflecting the sky without a single ripple.

Xiao Xing reached the lakeshore, pulled a tiny swimsuit out of its Treasure Bag, and then, under Chi Anlin's puzzled gaze, performed a set of warm-up exercises before jumping right in.

"??" Chi Anlin was a bit dazed, but seeing Xiao Xing jump in without hesitation, he hesitated for a moment, and after confirming there was no danger, he jumped in as well.

Entering the lake, Chi Anlin felt as if he had been flipped over. In his pupils, countless colorful, crystal-like fish swam rapidly.

For some reason, the water here felt non-existent, allowing him to breathe normally, yet the buoyancy from his surroundings told him he was indeed in water.

"Little fishy beauty, wait for Little Mouse! Little Mouse has plenty of delicious fish food here~"

Xiao Xing's tiny feet paddled rapidly in the water, the word 'lecherous' practically written on its face. Chi Anlin felt a bit guilty; was it because he hadn't bought a female mouse for this guy that it had become desperate enough to cross species?

He looked at that fish, and then a giant question mark appeared over his head.

Why the hell did this fish have a mouse's head? A mouse-fish?

"Hehehe, sailor suit... beautiful mouse-fish..."

Heaven only knew what was going on in Xiao Xing's head. Chi Anlin pinched the bridge of his nose and used Appraisal on a fish in front of him; except for the one Xiao Xing was chasing, the other fish were normal.

[Name]: Dao Fruit Fish

[Quality]: Special

[Introduction]: Fish formed from the intent of the Great Dao. Consuming them allows one to comprehend a sliver of the Great Dao. They require a special environment to survive.

Huh??? Chi Anlin was instantly stunned. What on earth was this?

In an instant, Chi Anlin only wanted to pack everything up and take it all away.

He reached out to grab the Dao Fruit Fish in front of him, but it nimbly dodged. Chi Anlin's speed exploded as he swam over quickly, but in the next second, he realized his idea was too far-fetched.

The Dao Fruit Fish swam very fast; at least to his naked eye, he could barely see the fish's afterimages.

Gritting his teeth, Chi Anlin said to Xiao Xing, "Summon all the Ant Soldiers."

Then, his consciousness entered the Small World. He pulled out the Lightning Ant Soldiers' genes from the Ant Queen's genetic bank and infused them with a massive amount of speed genes.

After accelerating them with blood energy, the Lightning Ant Soldiers were not only electrified but also extremely fast in the water, with electric arcs even appearing as they moved.

After ordering the Ant Queen to produce Lightning Ant Soldiers at full capacity, Chi Anlin exited the Small World to find a dense swarm of Ant Soldiers before him.

According to Regretless God's description, the Heavenly Tomb was a place where geniuses and heroes were buried to leave behind their legacies. Everyone who entered was effectively in a different space, with only one special stage where they could meet.

Therefore, there would be no other living people in this Heavenly Tomb besides Chi Anlin himself.

Seeing so many Ant Soldiers, the Dao Fruit Fish were startled and fled like lightning. Chi Anlin commanded the Ant Soldiers to form a giant net, preparing to surround the Dao Fruit Fish.

Over four hundred thousand puppy-sized Ant Soldiers began to surround the Dao Fruit Fish, forming a sphere. They quickly trapped one Dao Fruit Fish and began to tighten the circle.

The Dao Fruit Fish also seemed to grow anxious and tried to force its way through the Ant Soldiers' siege. It swam toward the group of Ant Soldiers it deemed least dangerous, but at that moment, those Ant Soldiers actually began firing sticky nets, causing the charging Dao Fruit Fish to be directly wrapped up.

Finally catching one, Chi Anlin immediately swam over and gripped the Dao Fruit Fish tightly in his hand.

Taking out a piece of ice, Chi Anlin used Fusion on the Dao Fruit Fish, only to find the Fusion system had no reaction.

Could it be... this thing doesn't count as a demonic beast?

The primary slot of the Fusion system could only be occupied by a demonic beast, so he couldn't use synthesis on the Dao Fruit Fish.

Chi Anlin held the Dao Fruit Fish and rubbed his chin. This Dao Fruit Fish was hard-won; it didn't feel right to just swallow it directly...

However, since the Dao Fruit Fish could survive in this lake, if he drained all the water from the lake, could he then raise Dao Fruit Fish in his Small World?

Chi Anlin thought about it and acted immediately, starting to pour water into the Ant Queen's Small World.

After a while, he discovered that once the water here entered the Small World, it actually lost its spirituality and became ordinary water, while the water level outside remained unchanged.

Putting the Dao Fruit Fish into the Small World, Chi Anlin found that the Dao charm on its body began to dissipate. At this rate, it would completely vanish in less than three days.

This made Chi Anlin a bit frustrated. Could it be that sustainable development wasn't an option?

At that moment, Chi Anlin thought of the system's reward, the Star Spirit Lake.

Dao Fruit Fish needed to live in a special environment, so... what about the Star Spirit Lake?

His consciousness entering the Ant Queen's Small World, Chi Anlin chose a suitable location and directly activated the Star Spirit Lake. The stone suddenly shattered, and a deep pit appeared in the ground, which was quickly filled with lake water.

The lake water was like the starry sky, dazzling and brilliant, occasionally emitting a calming aura.

Chi Anlin sent the Dao Fruit Fish in, and then his eyes lit up.

Sure enough, after the Dao Fruit Fish entered the Star Spirit Lake, its Dao charm stopped dissipating. Chi Anlin noticed that its agate-like body actually showed specks of starlight, as if it were absorbing the energy of the Star Spirit Lake.

As long as they could be raised. Chi Anlin's lips curled up slightly; he was going to take all the Star Spirit Fish here for himself!

Then, Chi Anlin repeated his old trick, but this time, he began chasing the fleeing Dao Fruit Fish, trying to drive them into the Ant Soldiers' encirclement.

Soon, another Dao Fruit Fish entered the Ant Soldiers' net and was sent into the Ant Queen's world.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yue was also using [Extreme Ice Flash] to catch fish, snagging one with every attempt, far more efficient than the Ant Soldiers.

However, Xiao Yue's own spiritual power was limited, and it couldn't use [Extreme Ice Flash] many times, so it could only try to catch Dao Fruit Fish that were closer to save spiritual power.

After catching seven Dao Fruit Fish, Xiao Yue used its New Moon skill to refill its spiritual power and continued catching.

In this lake, Chi Anlin estimated there were over ten thousand Dao Fruit Fish, but they were simply too difficult to catch. Without the Ant Soldiers and Xiao Yue, he might have exhausted himself to death without catching a single one.

At that moment, Chi Anlin saw Xiao Xing bump into a Dao Fruit Fish head-on, then angrily kick it away: "Move aside! You're blocking this mouse from finding a wife!"

Chi Anlin's eyes widened. He suspected that while he was focused on catching fish, Xiao Xing had done this quite a lot.
