Chapter 88 Blood Monkfish Meat
Seeing the Scarlet Wizard's furious expression, Loon couldn't help but shake his head and take out a piece of pinkish-white fish meat from his storage bag.
This is one of the Scarlet Wizard's spoils from her underwater hunt.
The flesh of a fish called blood anglerfish.
Blood anglerfish are a very peculiar deep-sea creature—although they are just ordinary organisms, they have a very peculiar 'gluttonous' characteristic.
This creature has no concept of being "full." It lurks on the seabed, constantly luring and preying on other marine creatures to devour them.
When it eats its prey, the nutrients it obtains from the prey are not directly digested, but stored in its own body—just like a camel stores water.
However, blood anglerfish store far more nutrients and energy than camels store water.
When the blood anglerfish's stored nutrients reach a certain limit, those nutrients will be directly converted into pure life force.
Strangely, the blood anglerfish does not absorb its own stored life force, nor does it leap into a ferocious beast or even a monster because it has too much stored life force.
—It is precisely because of this characteristic that many wizards believe that the blood anglerfish is a creature specially bred by ancient wizards in order to allow it to collect life force.
As the blood anglerfish stores more and more life force, the color of the organ that stores that life force gradually changes, from white to pink, and finally to transparent.
This is 'blood monkfish meat'.
That is, what Luo Ang has taken out.
This stuff has some effect even for wizards—although it can't restore their mental energy, after eating the blood anglerfish meat, wizards can maintain a state of neither fatigue nor hunger for a long time.
By simply eating a piece of blood monkfish meat, wizards can devote themselves to pondering something for an extended period of time without worrying about having to stop their research and interrupting their inspiration.
However, blood anglerfish are deep-sea creatures that require immense water pressure to survive—once they surface to shallow water, they immediately die due to the change in water pressure.
Normally, even with the Scarlet Wizard's tolerance to water pressure, it would be difficult for him to dive to the depth where the Blood Anglerfish lives.
During storms or thunderstorms, when a violent storm forms at sea, creating massive waves that cause the seabed to tremble, some blood anglerfish are swept ashore. However, if they arrive too late, these blood anglerfish explode and die due to the change in water pressure, exposing their flesh, which stores their life force. This flesh will immediately attract other predators, who will devour it.
After hunting in the ocean for half a month, the Crimson Wizard only managed to obtain three slices of blood anglerfish meat.
The Crimson Wizard's original plan was to store the anglerfish meat properly—and once he had stored enough, he would find a suitable wild beast and use the life force within the meat to forcibly feed it into a ferocious beast, thus re-signing the magical beast contract.
When she was hunting underwater, she was so emaciated that she couldn't bear to eat the blood anglerfish meat to replenish her energy. But now she directly asked Luo Ang to bring out the blood anglerfish meat, which shows that she was really furious because of the humiliation of the Iron Sword Viscount.
As for Lu Lang, a mid-level knight, even though he is exhausted now, as long as he eats this piece of red and white monkfish meat, his energy, physical strength and vitality will be restored to an extremely full level!
Not to mention leading the way, even fighting at full strength for another hour or two would be a piece of cake—with his abundant vitality, even if he was injured in battle, he would recover on his own at an extremely fast speed.
In short, at this moment, the decisions made by the Crimson Wizard and Loen were seen by most wizards as a very "wasteful" decision.
But Loen didn't care about this kind of "waste".
First of all, Loen himself also wanted to teach this Viscount Iron Sword a lesson.
Secondly, the Scarlet Wizard's anger does indeed need an outlet... Moreover, according to the previous agreement between Loen and the Scarlet Wizard, the anglerfish meat was originally intended for the Scarlet Wizard among the spoils he obtained from the seabed.
The reason this thing is still with Loon is because the storage bag belongs to Loon, and the Crimson Wizard needs to store these things in Loon's storage bag to prevent them from being stored elsewhere and encountering any accidents—such as being stolen by insects or rats, or having their internally stored life force gradually dissipate due to some circumstances, etc.
The third reason is the current situation.
According to Lulang, the Iron Sword Viscount was a rather arrogant and extremely cruel nobleman. Loon was also worried that if he arrived late, the Iron Sword Viscount might unleash his cruelty on Teon and the others.
"This is blood anglerfish meat, which contains a very rich vitality."
"Eating him will not only fully restore your physical strength and energy, but may also allow you to break through the bottleneck from mid-level knight to great knight."
"After you've eaten this anglerfish meat, lead the way," Loen said to Knight Lulang.
Upon hearing this, Knight Lulang immediately knelt down before Loen and the Crimson Wizard.
"Thank you for the blessings from Thunder Wizard and Crimson Wizard."
"I swear to be eternally loyal to the Thunder Wizard and the Crimson Wizard!" After making the oath, Knight Lulang took the piece of monkfish meat and swallowed it whole, licking even his fingers clean after touching the fish.
In the next instant, a tremendous life force ignited within his abdomen like a flame, filling his limbs and bones.
A fierce power surged forth.
The weariness on his face vanished in an instant, replaced by a rosy and radiant complexion.
He stood up, glanced around, and then spoke to Luo Ang and the others.
"Please wait a moment, my two esteemed masters, while I prepare your carriage!"
There were no horses or carriages on the ship.
As a knight, Lulang Knight was naturally able to run wildly through the mountains and forests without any restraint.
But it would be too undignified for Loen and the Crimson Wizard, as two noble wizards, to run wildly through the mountains like him.
As a knight, how could Lulang allow his master to be treated in such an undignified manner?
A moment later, the mountains and forests trembled.
Then Knight Lulang carried several tree trunks back to Loen and his companions.
After a hasty treatment, these tree trunks were combined with some tools from the ship to form a simple cart frame.
"My two great masters, please get in the carriage!" Knight Lulang lifted the 'chariot frame'.
