Chapter 572 Drink All Your Blood
Just as Mengyu charged towards the Fish Spirit’s gaping maw, she had timed and calculated her speed perfectly; before the creature’s teeth could snap shut, she had already plunged into the belly of the fish.
Inside the fish’s stomach it was pitch black, accompanied by a sour, rotten smell. Fortunately, Mengyu’s protective shield was always active, preventing her from being nauseated into unconsciousness.
She surmised that she must now be inside the fish’s stomach, judging by the liquid beneath her feet—most likely the fish’s stomach acid. If not for the protective shield, the acid would probably have dissolved her.
She hurriedly took out a longsword from her ring and stabbed it into the stomach wall, then slashed, splitting the wall and causing Fish Blood to flow out.
Seeing the blood flowing from the cut she made, Mengyu could sense the powerful energy within it, and a sudden desire to drink the Fish Blood arose in her.
However, Mengyu was acutely aware that the blood in this stomach mixed with acidic fluid was definitely not fit for consumption.
Almost at the same time, her surroundings seemed to spin as the entire stomach wall turned over, nearly causing her to tumble into the stomach acid.
She quickly grabbed the hilt of her sword, steadying herself against the stomach wall.
She then wondered whether the liquid in the stomach had any use.
She took out a Jade Liquid vial and collected the stomach fluid.
After collecting all the liquid, Mengyu used her sword to stay attached to the stomach wall and made her way out of the stomach, entering the fish’s abdominal cavity.
She saw the giant heart throbbing, and the desire to consume blood surged again.
She unsheathed her sword and lunged at the fish’s heart.
However, as her longsword approached the outskirts of the heart, it was blocked.
Mengyu was flabbergasted: did this fish actually know to protect its own heart?
What about the other internal organs? Were they protected as well?
She aimed her sword at the other organs. Indeed, she still could not cause any harm.
It seemed that because she had previously cut the stomach open, the fish had used its power to shield its internal organs.
Mengyu snorted coldly, thinking that if the fish could protect its organs, could it protect everywhere else too?
She took hold of a blood vessel protruding from the blood and cut it, then tried drinking a mouthful of Fish Blood.
The strange fish began thrashing again, continuously contracting its stomach and pushing its contents outward—evidently, the creature was trying to vomit her out.
Had Mengyu still been in the stomach, she would probably have been expelled by now.
Little did the fish know, Mengyu had already cut open the stomach wall and made her way out; she was now standing next to its heart, holding onto its blood vessels, drinking blood.
The Fish Blood indeed contained tremendous energy; what should have been foul-tasting blood actually had a fragrant scent. She could not help but take one mouthful after another.
She thought, being a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, such strange energy could only benefit her without any adverse effects.
Furthermore, Mengyu suddenly conceived the idea of drinking all the fish’s blood dry. Naturally, the fish would die, and that way she wouldn’t have to go out and fight it.
The blood vessel Mengyu had cut, which came from the blood, continued to bleed out. Not to drink it would be wasteful.
Moreover, she felt that consuming this Fish Blood could enhance her cultivation.
Thus, inside the fish’s belly, Mengyu actually drank an entire bellyful of Fish Blood. Feeling slightly bloated, she circulated her stomach energies to digest faster and then continued to drink by holding onto the blood vessel.
With her belly already swelling, but sensing that the fish was still thrashing and alive, she had to continue drinking until all the blood in the vessel had been drained.
Drink all your blood and see if you die!
But just how much blood does this bizarre fish have, and won’t she burst from overindulgence?
