Han Sen reflexively lowered his head and saw a fat goldfish swimming next to him.
It was a goldfish that was about the size of a palm. Its tail was spread out like a butterfly's, and its body was round. Its head was wide and fat, and its body was gold and red. It looked like the lion-headed goldfish Han Sen had seen in the aquarium.
The fish was trying its best to wiggle its fat body. Its butterfly-like tail was wagging left and right as it swam toward Han Sen.
Han Sen did not feel a strong lifeforce coming from it. It was like a normal goldfish. It was struggling to swim in the water.
Han Sen moved back a little, and the goldfish wiggled its body to follow him. Han Sen moved back a little more, and the goldfish followed him a little more.
Han Sen saw that it was not aggressive. If it had been, it would have attacked him when it was near his waist.
Han Sen did not move back. He wanted to see what it wanted to do. After the goldfish swam to Han Sen's side, it swam toward Han Sen's back. It circled around the Phoenix God Sword on Han Sen's back.
"This lion-headed goldfish is not an ordinary creature, is it?
In this place of rebirth, and in the lake created by the Fire Phoenix's tears, how can there be an ordinary creature?
Plus, it is interested in the Phoenix God Sword. That sword might be the Phoenix's feather. It lived in the Fire Phoenix's tears, so it must be of the same origin, "Han Sen thought to himself.
The lion-headed goldfish circled the Phoenix God Sword. Occasionally, it used its head to touch the feather. Then, it circled the Phoenix God Sword again.
Han Sen reached out his hand to touch the lion-headed goldfish's fat body. The goldfish was not afraid of people. It wiggled its body under Han Sen's hand. It looked very happy.
Han Sen used his hands to hold the goldfish's head, but he still did not feel a strong lifeforce coming from it. He did not feel a strong power. It was like a normal goldfish.
"Weird. Is this really a normal goldfish?
Can a creature that can survive in such a place really be an ordinary goldfish? "Han Sen was in disbelief.
While Han Sen was thinking, Bo 'er swam over. Her doggy paddle was very fast, like a mini speedboat. She swam to Han Sen's side in no time. She stared at the Lion Head in Han Sen's hand and reached out her small hand to touch it.
Lion Head, on the other hand, swung her tail and dodged Bao'er's hand. She swam behind Han Sen and started circling the Phoenix Sword again.
Bao'er was a little angry. She wanted to reach out and grab the goldfish, but Han Sen stopped her.
"Go play somewhere else." Han Sen pinched Bao'er's cheek and pushed her away.
Perhaps the Lion Head was a xenogeneic, and Han Sen did not want Bao'er to kill it. Even if he didn't kill it, if Bao'er took it into her gourd, Han Sen wouldn't be able to get anything out of it.
Bao'er looked at the goldfish unhappily and swam away angrily.
Han Sen held the Lion Head in his hands again. He did not want to kill it, though. After all, there was nothing special about it. It didn't look like a sacred-blood creature, so killing it would be pointless.
But if it was just an ordinary goldfish, Han Sen did not believe it.
Holding the Lion Head in his hands, Han Sen lifted the Lion Head out of the water. The Lion Head turned from a goldfish into a golden-red bird right in front of Han Sen's eyes. It was still only the size of his hand, but its feathers were as red as fire.
Han Sen's eyes opened wide. He had seen many strange creatures, but this was the first time he had seen something as strange as this.
Han Sen's hand sank again, and the bird fell into the water. The bird rolled around in the water and turned back into a goldfish with a lion head. It was very magical.
"What a weird guy."
Han Sen looked at the Lion Head, which was swimming around the Phoenix Sword. He didn't know what it was, and he didn't know what it was.
Han Sen looked at Xie Qing King, who was still practicing. He was like a statue, and he did not seem to notice what was going on.
After a moment of hesitation, Han Sen brought the Lion Head out of the water again. He looked at the fat bird, and the bird flapped its wings. But because it was too fat, it couldn't fly. It hopped up and down Han Sen's arm. It leaped up to the Phoenix Sword and perched on Han Sen's shoulder. It pecked the sword a few times, and it seemed to be in a daze.
"I don't care. This guy is no ordinary thing. I'll just take it away first," Han Sen thought greedily.
The bird did not want to leave, and it stayed next to the Phoenix Sword. Han Sen did not want to take it away.
But it had only been half an hour, and there was still fourteen hours to go. Han Sen was worried that Xie Qing King would notice something was wrong, but there was no way he could hide the bird.
While Han Sen was worrying about this, he suddenly heard a screeching noise from the sky. It sounded like a crow.
Han Sen looked up and saw a crow flying in the sky, cawing at them.
"So noisy."
Xie Qing King's body flashed with a silver light, and he struck the raven down. Black feathers and blood flew everywhere, and the raven was reduced to a bloody mist. Xie Qing King did not even open his eyes. He continued to soak in the lake with his eyes closed.
Han Sen thought that was the end of it, but not long after that, the sky was filled with the cawing of the crows.
The flock of black crows that filled the sky flew over like a dark cloud. The bodies of those crows were burning with flames, like burning charcoal.
Han Sen had been soaking in the water for a while, and his Dongxuan Aura had recovered. He could now sense the lifeforce of the crows that were close to him.
The majority of these crows were actually the same as the Demon Horned Sheep, they were all mutant class. However, their numbers were many times more than the Demon Horned Sheep. There were at least a few thousand of them circling in the sky.
Xie Qing King opened his eyes, and he looked disgusted. He jumped out of the water and turned into a silver light. He flew into the flock of crows and started killing them all.
Immediately, black feathers and blood exploded in the sky. It was as if it was raining.
However, when the blood and feathers landed on the surface of the lake, it was as if they were pushed away by something. They were unable to contaminate the lake in the slightest.
Han Sen put on his armor and started killing the crows with Xie Qing King.
Just as Han Sen expected, the crows were mutant creatures. They were called Fire Crows, and their flesh was inedible. Han Sen killed a few dozen, but he did not get a single beast soul.
While Han Sen was feeling depressed, he suddenly heard the cawing of a raven in the sky. The cawing was different from that of an ordinary Fire Raven. Han Sen looked in that direction and saw that the sky was red. It was as if it had been set on fire.
