Chapter 407: Chapter 406: Delicacies from Ancient Tis Chapter 407: Chapter 406: Delicacies from Ancient Tis “Gurgle…”
Resting, Shao Zifeng suddenly opened his eyes and saw the little toothed dragon intently staring at the misty lake surface.
Alarm bells went off in his heart as he pulled out the short sword sheathed in his slip-resistant boots, “Little thing, what did you find?”
“Gurgle.”
The little toothed dragon turned its head to look at him, stretching out its short forelimbs towards the lake surface, then as if rembering sothing, hastily withdrew its little paws and curled up.
“Is there sothing there?”
Shao Zifeng stood up and gave Karen a signal with his eyes.
Then, the three figures, two large and one small, crouched on the bank of Under Ice Lake, entranced by the rolling mist.
One minute.
Five minutes.
The scene at Under Ice Lake was unchanged as ever. Water murmured from the icy cave walls, and the lake’s surface, touched by a dim light, took on a faint blue hue as it rolled with the waves, revealing no sign of change.
“Could you have seen wrong?”
“Gurgle gurgle.”
Facing Shao Zifeng’s doubt, the little toothed dragon, unusually anxious, waved its short stubby limbs ceaselessly, but it realized it hadn’t seen clearly what it had been, revealing a crestfallen expression.
“It’s okay, I’m not blaming you,” Shao Zifeng said as he reached out to pat the little toothed dragon’s head.
“Gurgle.”
The little toothed dragon quickly shook its little head, not allowing Shao Zifeng’s hand to rest on it.
Splash!
Just at that mont, a faint sound erged from the mist again.
“Karen!”
“Yo!”
Karen’s two ghostly vines shot out instantaneously, piercing into the mist where the sound had co from.
The mist over Under Ice Lake boiled, water splashing everywhere. The two ghostly vines tensed, and sothing could be faintly seen struggling inside.
Shao Zifeng’s gaze was fixated on the source of the disturbance, his knuckles turning white as he gripped his short sword.
Karen’s legs spread out, and with a fierce pull, the creature in the water, along with sparkling droplets, was suddenly dragged out.
Splatter!
Shao Zifeng’s mouth twitched, and his fingers loosened around the short sword.
In front of him now was a spindle-shaped, semi-transparent fish, about thirty centiters long, with a flat body and pointed head that bore no eyes. It was generally translucent, only its head region looked darker due to the concentration of blood vessels.
In the corner of Shao Zifeng’s eye, lights shifted, and a pale blue screen slowly unfolded.

[Description]: A primitive fish species independently evolved in the unique spatial environnt of Under Ice Lake over millions of years, and due to a lack of predators, has not developed any ans of attack. Crystal Fish flesh is delicious, tender, juicy, low in bones and scaleless, offering a direct taste of the most original flavors from a million years ago. Recomnded cooking thods are braised, stead, sour soup fish and more…
Shao Zifeng completely disregarded the subsequent explanation, his eyes nearly turning green as saliva continuously secreted in his mouth.
In his mind, it seed as if countless voices were shouting.
Eat it, eat it!
Shao Zifeng pressed down the Crystal Fish with one hand and slowly raised the Karen family’s sword of honor, its blade gleaming for an instant.
By the shore of Under Ice Lake, Shao Zifeng was intently using a short sword to cut fish at.
The fawn and toothed dragon curiously gathered around, but every ti Shao Zifeng’s gaze shifted toward them, the little guy would nonchalantly turn its head away, pretending not to care.
Shao Zifeng swept the cut-off fish head and spine to one side, leaving only pieces of sparkling fish at on the ice.
This sparkle wasn’t an exaggeration; the fish at truly was crystal clear, resembling jelly, but its texture was even firr.
Carefully lifting a piece of fish at, Shao Zifeng swallowed, and, driven by hunger, he eagerly took a bite.
The dense fish at was crunchy and fresh, tender yet not mushy, and even without any seasoning, it didn’t have the usual fishy sll of fish.
It was indeed an ingredient universally praised by add-ons.
Quickly swallowing the fish at, Shao Zifeng picked up another piece, unable to stop himself.
The fawn was okay since it had transford into an energy body and only absorbed energy, but the little toothed dragon was different. It stared intently at the rapidly diminishing fish at, drool dripping from the sharp teeth wrapped around its lower jaw.
“Share so, hide so away.”
Shao Zifeng’s mouth was stuffed like a hamster’s as he rapidly chewed the Crystal Fish at.
He used the short sword to pick up a piece of translucent fish at and handed it to the little toothed dragon while mumbling unclearly.
The little toothed dragon was a bit flustered and hurriedly tried to wipe off its drool with its paws, but seeing the length of its own paws, it turned its head away in embarrassnt.
“Hide so, just a bite.”
At Shao Zifeng’s repeated invitations, it hesitantly opened its mouth, though its long tail happily swayed slightly.
The mont it bit into the fish at, the little toothed dragon froze.
All these years, it had never tasted such delicious fish. Its sharp teeth quickly ground the fish into bits, and it swallowed eagerly.
“How is it, tastes good, right?”
Shao Zifeng swallowed the fish at and picked another piece for the little toothed dragon.
Then the two of them took turns, one bite at a ti.
The already scant fish at quickly diminished even more.
Ding!
The short sword hit the ice block that was holding the fish at, making a crisp sound. The fish at had been completely devoured.
Shao Zifeng looked eagerly at the fawn, his gaze filled with desire.
Hungry for a long ti, he still needed more food.
The fawn, feeling sympathy, gently nuzzled Shao Zifeng’s face, its star-like eyes intently staring at the steaming Under Ice Lake, with the vines on both sides of its body ready to strike.
Whoosh!
The experienced fawn seized the mont, and its vines shot into the steam with a swooshing sound.
The next mont, the vines tightened instantly.
A lively Crystal Fish was flung up.
The little toothed dragon, quick and alert, used its claws to pin down the still jumping Crystal Fish, and Shao Zifeng gave it an approving look before cutting down with the short sword.
But the fawn didn’t stop there; its vines shot out again.
Just as it was about to fling the Crystal Fish like before, a brute force ca from the other end of the vine, changing the fawn’s expression in an instant, its body uncontrollably sliding toward Under Ice Lake.
“Let go quickly!”
“Woah!”
The vines dissipated, and the fawn staggered back several steps, looking sowhat amazed at the steam-covered Under Ice Lake.
The sound of water slapping continued as if nothing had happened.
But the next mont, the placid steam slowly bulged.
A huge tail broke through the steam and soared high, then fiercely slapped down into the steam of Under Ice Lake.
Whoosh—
The imnse sound exploded in the space of Under Ice Lake, and the slap stirred up waves as high as several people, spreading outwards, and even the pervasive mist was significantly diluted.
All this happened so fast that before Shao Zifeng could react, the unknown creature had already disappeared back into the lake.
Following that, a wave as high as half a person surged up the shore and splashed toward him.
Whoosh whoosh!
Several vines wrapped around Shao Zifeng and lifted him high, avoiding the impact of the wave.
Suddenly, Shao Zifeng, now in mid-air, sharply focused his gaze.
As the steam dissipated, he saw the faint outline of a small island in the center of Under Ice Lake.
