Chapter 574 Harvest
Mengyu decided to cut her way out from the body of the monster fish.
However, the flesh of the fish was very tough, and although the sword in Mengyu’s hand was very sharp, it was still somewhat difficult to slice through the belly skin.
When she cut open the lower abdomen, she found an egg-shaped object there, only it was still in liquid form.
She suddenly remembered that the inner cores of some animals, just like in humans, started forming in the lower abdomen. Could this object be the not-yet-formed inner core of this fish monster?
Mengyu didn’t care whether it was or not, she dug it out first.
Mengyu scooped out the chicken egg-sized, not-yet-formed inner core and placed it in a jade box, tossing it into her storage ring.
Sure enough, when she continued to cut through the belly of the fish, this time it split open quite easily.
It seemed that the soft, yellow egg really was the fish’s not-yet-formed inner core, still providing energy to its body.
Perhaps, the monster fish was merely unconscious before and did not completely die until she extracted its not-yet-formed inner core. That’s when it truly died.
In that case, this monster fish was about to form an inner core—no, it had already formed an Illusion Pill, it just hadn’t taken proper shape yet.
Mengyu felt a bit frightened post factum: that she managed to kill a Fish Spirit about to form an Illusion Pill.
She felt that she was really lucky today.
If it wasn’t for the fluke of ending up inside the fish’s belly, it might not have been easy for her to kill the monster fish. Even more, there was a high possibility that she could have been eaten by it.
From the strange energy in its blood, she had a feeling that this fish was not simple. Maybe, it was one of those legendary fish with dragon bloodlines.
Therefore, the flesh of this fish should also contain powerful energy.
Moreover, this monster fish was so big, at least two hundred tons in weight, which meant its meat could last her for many years to eat.
Also, its scales, extremely hard, could probably be used to refine magic artifacts; its skin was very tough, an excellent choice for making leather armor. Its bones were hard, which might be suitable for making magic artifacts!
This monster fish was a treasure all over.
The monster fish was too large to easily fit into the underground warehouse of the Taoyuan Space.
She could only dissect it first.
Standing inside the belly of the fish, Mengyu decided to cut out the heart, liver, lungs, and other internal organs first.
Just the heart alone probably weighed a hundred kilograms, and then there was the liver, stomach, spleen, intestines—these internal organs likely weighed a thousand kilograms in total.
There was also a large chunk of fat, looking to weigh several hundred jins, which would be nice to refine into grease for cooking.
She didn’t have time to clean up one by one, so she sent them all into the underground warehouse of the space.
Next was the processing of the meat. She sliced the meat inside into pieces, each weighing about fifty kilograms, and cut more than three thousand pieces in total.
That is to say, just the lean meat weighed around a hundred and fifty tons!
Then there were the bones. She took out a magic axe from her ring, but even that couldn’t chop through the bones.
Still, she used a high-grade spiritual medicine hoe to dig out the bones along the physiological suture lines and put them into the underground warehouse of the space.
Finally, what remained were the huge skull and the skin.
The skin was too tough for ordinary knives and axes to cut through; she still used the high-grade spiritual medicine hoe to first carve out the palm-sized hard fish scales and then cut the remaining skin into more than thirty pieces, storing them in the space.
She couldn’t bear to throw away the remaining scraps, so she collected them all into the space—perhaps Da Bai and Da Hei would like them.
After cleaning up the monster fish, Mengyu decided to explore this underwater Old man Gong.
This abandoned palace guarded by the Fish Spirit, might really be the Dragon Palace!
