Chu Tian could not swallow his pride, thinking he must catch that little brat and spank his backside.
"Damn, my divine sense is useless again, where the hell am I supposed to find him?"
Chu Tian ran through the dense forest for a while.
He found that the dense forest looked the same everywhere.
No matter where he went, it felt like he was in the same place.
Without his divine sense, he had no way to determine where the kid had run off to.
Helpless, he had to give up.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of flowing water, and then his stomach, which hadn't felt hungry for a long time, suddenly rumbled.
"What the heck? I'm hungry? How long has it been since I felt this way? Could these heavenly laws actually change my body?"
He thought about it and then moved towards the sound.
As expected, there was a pool of lake water here.
Chu Tian tossed the unconscious Seventh Princess aside and walked to the water's edge.
Looking at the vast expanse of the lake.
There should be plenty of fish down there, right?
He hadn't had grilled fish in a long time and was really craving it.
Although Chu Tian's divine sense was unusable, his eyes still worked.
Deep in the water, there was a school of small fish emitting a faint blue light, each about an inch long!
However, the color made Chu Tian a bit hesitant.
The blue color was very pretty.
"Could this stuff be poisonous?"
Chu Tian was hesitant. He noticed that there were no other fish in the entire lake.
Only these fish underwater.
He could deduce that these fish were probably quite fierce.
Otherwise, in such a large lake, there wouldn't be only this one type of fish.
On Blue Star, only one type of fish could wipe out all other fish in a lake.
In his hometown, they were called "black fish sticks."
These fish were huge and very fierce.
They specialized in eating the young of other fish species.
And they could also survive on land, out of water, for up to three days.
Once a lake was depleted, they would migrate collectively to find the next place to prey.
However, the flesh of these black fish sticks was very tender and fatty, so they also encountered their natural predator.
That would be the people of Long Country who loved to eat them.
Black fish sticks were once almost eaten to extinction in Long Country.
However, after a few years, the ban on catching black fish was lifted.
This school of fish became rampant again.
Thinking of the spicy fish and pickled fish made from black fish.
Chu Tian's stomach rumbled again.
"Damn it... seeing these fish, the instant noodles in my spatial dimension don't even smell good anymore! To hell with it, I'll try them first... With my body blessed by the Tree of Life, I shouldn't be poisoned to death, right? Even if I'm not immune to all poisons, it's close!"
With that thought, Chu Tian tentatively touched the lake water.
But as soon as his finger touched the surface of the lake water, the school of fish, which were five to six meters deep, scattered like startled birds and instantly retreated towards deeper waters.
"Holy crap, such strong alertness?"
For some reason, Chu Tian's stomach kept rumbling.
The intense hunger made him take out some food from his divine realm and stuff it into his mouth.
But it felt useless.
"What's going on?"
He felt like he could eat a cow right now.
He was so hungry he was getting dizzy.
The food brought from Blue Star, once in his stomach, felt as if it hadn't been eaten at all, as if it were instantly digested.
Just then, those blue fish reappeared in Chu Tian's sight.
This time, the school of fish actually surfaced and stayed in the center of the lake, quite far away.
It was as if they were taunting Chu Tian.
"Damn it! It seems I need to use some tricks. These heavenly laws are a bit different. Could it be that only local food can satisfy hunger?"
Chu Tian searched in his ecological space and surprisingly found an unopened set of fishing gear.
He had bought this set a long time ago.
But he hadn't had time to play with it.
He was a fishing novice, but luckily, this assembled fishing set had excellent quality, even down to the fish hooks.
All he had to do was tie the line.
After taking out the fishing rod, he realized he hadn't bought a fishing stool.
He took out a hook, tied it on, and cast the line.
Then he squatted by the river and waited.
As he watched those fish, they circled around the bait he had placed.
But they seemed uninterested and turned away.
"Damn, is fishing this difficult? If my divine sense wasn't useless, I would have used my soul to control them and pull them out!"
Watching the playful fish, Chu Tian grew impatient.
He suddenly remembered that these fish were very afraid of people. He had only lightly touched the water surface, and they had all fled.
Why were they jumping on the surface just now?
He looked closely. At this moment, a few fish were still leaping around him.
"Huh?" Seeing this, Chu Tian was stunned.
Because he noticed that there were some white specks floating on the water.
Those fish were scrambling for them.
"Hmm?" It was the crumbs from the instant noodles he had just eaten.
They had become a little bloated after being soaked in the lake water. He then looked at his feet.
The instant noodle bag he had thrown away was drifting back and forth with the water.
The instant noodle crumbs inside were slowly floating out.
"Holy crap..." His eyes lit up instantly.
He reached out and picked up the bag of instant noodles. As a civilized person, how could he litter?
He directly threw the packaging bag back into his divine realm.
And then he took out a whole packet of instant noodles.
He opened it, reeled in the fishing rod, and removed the bait that was attached.
He broke off a small piece of instant noodles and hooked it on.
Then he cast the fishing rod and waited.
However, unexpectedly quickly.
As soon as the hook with the instant noodles entered the water.
He felt the fishing rod in his hand suddenly sink.
"Holy crap... such strength?"
He remembered that when he bought the fishing rod, the boss had said that the rod was of excellent quality.
It could handle catching a seven or eight-pound carp without any effort.
But... this tiny fish, only an inch long and the size of a palm, had actually bent his fishing rod.
"Get up for me!!" Chu Tian also exerted force.
The entire fishing rod was pulled into a bow shape.
He was truly worried that the fishing rod would break, but thankfully.
The fish had plenty of strength, but lacked stamina.
After struggling with Chu Tian a few times, the entire fishing rod suddenly sprang back.
And was pulled out of the water by Chu Tian.
With one fish in hand, Chu Tian held it. The fish felt warm, not cold, in his grip.
Instead, it felt warm.
Without any hesitation, he used his grilling techniques to prepare one to eat.
He was afraid that the fish's blood would pollute the lake, making it difficult to fish again.
He took out purified water from his divine realm and cleaned it at a distance from the riverbank.
After simple processing, he took out various seasonings and charcoal.
He set up a stove and started grilling.
Before long, as Chu Tian's stomach growled louder and louder.
The sides of the fish were grilled to a golden brown. He brushed on honey and sprinkled on seasonings.
He put a piece of meat into his mouth.
"Hiss... this taste!" Chu Tian almost swallowed his own tongue.
The fish meat melted in his mouth. Logically, grilled fish would lose some moisture from the meat, making it chewy.
However, this fish had a texture like thinly sliced fish.
It melted into juice as soon as it entered his mouth, with an incredibly sweet flavor.
In no time, Chu Tian had devoured the large fish.
The hunger in his stomach had indeed reduced significantly.
But it was not enough.
Chu Tian's gaze was once again drawn to the river.
Because there were no more instant noodle crumbs floating down, the school of fish had returned to the depths.
He didn't know why these fish liked the taste of instant noodles.
But it was fine, it served as bait.
This stuff was practically free. As long as it could fill his stomach.
He didn't mind throwing all the remaining instant noodles into the water to feed the fish!
