Chapter 56 Piranha <TOC> Chapter 58 Food Tripod
Translator: SumTLMan
This is a chaotic time. This is an era with no rules.
It’s like the birth of human beings when the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors ruled the world. Why could the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors stand out and be respected as emperors and sovereigns? It’s because they have made contributions to the people that ordinary people could not. That is why they will be respected as emperors and sovereigns. Instinctively, people began gathering around them. Allowing the people who followed the emperors and sovereigns to lead better lives, so that they can better survive in the future.
What Yi Tianxing is doing now is like what the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors did in ancient times. Leading people to live. Naturally, he can be respected and receive the respect of all.
As long as he keeps bringing all of the people to survive in this chaotic world. Naturally, all of the hearts of the people will be condensed on Yi Tianxing, and his status will be unshakable.
Not only is Yi Tianxing doing this, but also the other heroes, overlords and even ambitious people are doing this very same thing. They are also protecting the people one-sidedly and hoping to survive in this world full of beasts and monsters. Throughout this process, those who do not have the ability will naturally be eliminated. Each will fall if they do not have the ability to stand out.
“I did not intend on using this thing. It seems that I must strengthen my own power as much as possible. But this is not necessarily a good thing for me. On the contrary, this will create a great flaw in me.”
Yi Tianxing looked at the river. He looked at the vast expanse of land in the distance as a flash of light appeared on his hand. A light ball appeared and after, he pinched the light ball. A strange crystal-clear jelly appeared while spreading a fragrance of an almost irresistible smell. This smell aroused one’s appetite, making a person want to swallow it immediately. This feeling appeared quite strong.
“Gourmet Cells, a treasure conceived by fantasy. If I eat it, I can acquire incredible ability. I can forcibly open up a Destiny Aperture in my body. I can also continuously strengthen my body, bones and muscles through eating this. It will give me an infinite evolutionary potential. But if I eat this, I will have no resistance against delicious food. I really don’t know whether this is a good or bad thing.”
Yi Tianxing looked at the crystal jelly in his hand with a flicker of hesitation in his eyes.
Indeed, Gourmet Cells are definitely not a disgrace to the name of treasure. Moreover, he will gain a great potential. But the problem is that if he eats it, he will have no resistance to food in the future. This may become a terrible weakness later on. A gourmet will die from eating sooner or later. At this point, with this thing, he really does not know what will happen after he consumes it.
Being able to use this treasure to forcibly open up a Destiny Aperture in the body will bring him something good. He knows this is not a weakness.
“Forget it. I’ll eat it. Surviving is the most important thing right now. As long as I can get stronger, I can receive the blessings from Xuan Huang Village as it expands. Besides, in this Eternal Continent, I don’t know how many other people will go through all kinds of amazing adventures and get all kinds of top tier treasures. Once they fly in the sky, I will miss my chance to become stronger. I am being too pretentious. Today, I don’t know what tomorrow will bring. I’ll eat today for tomorrow.”
There was a flash of light in Yi Tianxing’s eyes as a firm look appeared on his face.
Without further hesitation, he put the Gourmet Cells in his mouth.
And swallows it in one mouthful.
Gollum!!
When many people around him saw the treasure, they swallowed a mouthful of saliva, even Huang Chengyuan was included. The fragrance of the Gourmet Cells was too unbearable. Otherwise, if it was not in Yi Tianxing hands, someone would have rushed up to grab it. That thing really aroused too much greed.
As soon as the Gourmet Cells are swallowed. Suddenly, a strange force begins integrating into his whole body. Every cell, every inch of bone was perfectly integrated with this force. Even Yi Tianxing can clearly feel every cell in his body is beginning to become more active. Filling up with a profound and wonderful vitality.
The integration happened to every inch of flesh and blood and gave birth to incredible changes.
Moreover, in an area of his body’s stomach, a frenzied convergence of strange forces almost opened up a mysterious space on the spot. In this mysterious space, a tripod emerges. This is a Food Tripod, a three-legged two-handled gluttonous Food Tripod. With a gluttonous head on it. It has an open mouth as if the mouth were trying to swallow the whole world. It’s just the Food Tripod is extremely illusory now. Obviously, this Food Tripod is still extremely weak.
Destiny Aperture—Food Tripod!!
Gourmet Cells is a kind of exotic treasure. They are one of the very few treasures that can allow people to open up a Destiny Aperture directly in their body. Moreover, it has strong evolutionary abilities and great potential. As long as he can find the best delicacies, he can integrate them into his flesh and blood to become stronger. It can be said that as long as there are food and top tier delicacies to eat. He can grow his strength at the same time.
But this has forced him on the path of a gourmet.
When the Gourmet Cells were fully integrated into Yi Tianxing’s body. He immediately feels he had become completely different. Every cell was full of vitality and every inch of flesh and blood exuded vigour. But in the same way, every inch of flesh and blood has a strong sense of hunger. This feeling made him feel that even if a cow was placed in front of him, it would all be swallowed and end up in his stomach in an instant.
“I didn’t really expect to open up a Destiny Aperture. Food Tripod was it? This Destiny Aperture should match the Gourmet Cells perfectly. Ultimately, I don’t know to what extent these Gourmet Cells have affected my body.”
According to Yi Tianxing, after the Gourmet Cells have been absorbed. He opened up a new Destiny Aperture in his body and acquired various abilities, such as perspective vision, shadow merging and so on. Therefore, the opening of a Destiny Aperture is instantaneous and random. No one knows what Destiny Aperture will be awakened in the end. But it is very important to know that in many cases, it is a great blessing to be able to open up any Destiny Aperture…
Many times, a cultivator in the Destiny Aperture Realm may not necessarily be able to kill a cultivator in the Divine Sea Realm. The reason being is that the Divine Sea Realm cultivator can also awaken their Destiny Aperture and ultimately make them unable to compete in terms of strength and magical abilities from a Destiny Aperture.
Compared with other Destiny Apertures, the Food Tripod Destiny Aperture does not seem to have any attack ability. But in Yi Tianxing’s eyes, it may not be so simple, and it may play a greater role for his self-promotion instead. These Gourmet Cells are a perfect match for him. Maybe he can find a strange path.
It felt like a long process, but this all happened in just a blink of an eye. Now there’s one more Destiny Aperture in his body, bringing the total number of Destiny Apertures in his body to three. This is absolutely rare in the Divine Sea Realm.
Taking a deep breath, Yi Tianxing forcibly suppresses the hunger transmitting throughout his body.
“My lord, what you have requested has been found.”
By this time, Feng Yumo and a group of soldiers had quickly picked up what Yi Tianxing had ordered before. They brought over several long wooden poles, some ropes, and a large number of green-skinned monster corpses.
“Tie the rope to one end of the pole, then tie the corpses of a green-skinned monster at the other end of the rope. Place the wooden pole on the stone.” Yi Tianxing said quickly.
“You want to catch these piranhas through fishing?” When Huang Chengyuan first heard this, he knew what Yi Tianxing was going to do. But there was still a glimmer of brilliance in his eyes. If this works. Then this is absolutely a masterstroke.
This method is simple and direct, and also the most effective means which no one had even thought of. All of the people were too intimidated by the piranhas, even he did not think of this. He was still immersed in the horrors of the piranhas.
In his mind, he told himself: Sure enough, human wisdom is most important. Even ordinary people can catch these piranhas and throw them ashore. If we can use this method, then there will be far more flexibility with this method.
“Yes, these piranhas are too powerful in the water. But when they come on land, they are not so fierce. An ordinary person with a stick can kill them directly.” Yi Tianxing said as he nodded.
Piranhas like flesh and blood. This is their instinct. And with this instinct, it makes them ferocious. But what comes with this instinct is a terrible weakness.
When it comes to a bloody meal, they can’t resist it at all. Moreover, these piranhas have a huge appetite and fast metabolisms, which means that they are more likely to soon be hungry again. For any food source, their first reaction when they see it is to jump on it. This is also how they will die.
“My lord, we are ready.”
Feng Yumo has already made a large fishing rod. He has found a big stone to move over and wedged the wooden rod 1/3 in between the top and middle of the stone. It kind of looks like a seesaw using the principle of leverage. As long as a piranha is hooked, they can immediately use the leverage to pull the piranha out of the water. It doesn’t take too much effort.
The bait is an arm cut off from the green-skinned monsters. It is tied to the end of the rope.
“All right, put it down. If the piranha is hooked, pull it up for me. Everyone around here, spread out on both sides as to avoid the danger when the piranha is pulled onto land.” Yi Tianxing ordered categorically.
Plop!!
Without hesitation, they immediately cast the monster arm as bait into the river.
All the pairs of eyes looked over at the river and focused on the area where the bait was thrown.
Crash!!
Less than two or three breaths later, there was a fierce splash coming from the water. The arm sank rapidly into the water.
“It’s hooked, pull it up for me!”
When Yi Tianxing saw this, his eyes twinkled as he did not hesitate to shout out loud.
Brush!!
Almost as soon as his voice fell, the soldier on the other side had pulled the wooden pole down. On the other side, the pole pulled up instantaneously, and a one-meter long monster fish was pulled up from the water and onto land. When it was pulled out of the water, it was still biting on the arm used as bait. It still did not relax its deadly bite. In a flash, it was so easily pulled out of the water and thrown ashore.
“What a big fish, what terrible serrated teeth. These teeth are all sharp fangs, this is so terrible.”
“If such a piranha were to take a bite from me, it would directly tear off a large chunk of my meat and swallow it down. So terrible. In the water, they are absolutely difficult to deal with.”
“It worked, we really caught it. Let’s kill it. Such piranhas should all be killed!”
