I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature

Chapter 1251: Chapter 903: Is This a Parasite?

Facing such a river, Zheng Yichen cast out his fishing rod in the form of an Alien Phenomenon manifestation.

He was now very skilled in using this manifestation; using it felt like bringing his own Law of Heaven and Earth, and the fishing rod in his hand underwent a corresponding change.

Gah—

A deafening sound rang out, and a giant flying beast dozens of kilometers away looked at Zheng Yichen with uncertainty. In its eyes, he was just a creature smaller than an ant.

The kind that it wouldn’t even glance at, and certainly not squash out of boredom.

Did it really think flying with ups and downs was easygoing?

But that tiny ant conveyed an inexplicable aura—vast and ancient—yet that aura seemed like an illusion, so the giant flying beast thought for a moment and continued to bend its head to drink water.

It had to drink here for at least two days.

Just as the giant flying beast was drinking water, a roar erupted from the river, and a massive fish, extending several kilometers in length, flew out and crashed onto the riverbank.

The giant flying beast was stunned; it blinked its eyes, puzzled as it watched the colossal fish struggle and roll, shaking the ground and mountains.

It too could catch fish, but fishing over the river was extremely dangerous—it might be eaten by other fish.

Moreover, it saw the tiny two-legged creature wave its black rod while not even touching the fish, yet the colossal fish struggled and then rolled its eyes.

What kind of monster is this?

The giant flying beast knew nothing of monsters, but with a great physique and relatively high intelligence, after seeing this bizarre scene, it stopped drinking water and quietly moved to the side, trying to let the little hill-like mountain block itself.

"Time to eat!" Zheng Yichen called out to wake Tanshia Firlo. Despite the earlier commotion, the small white dragon hadn’t woken up.

The small white dragon yawned, staring in awe at the massive fish: "What kind of fish is this?"

"I don’t know, but it should be edible."

Zheng Yichen reached out and ripped off a tens-of-meters-long scale, tapping it. The strength of this thing would withstand many bomb blasts in another world.

But in this world, fish with such scale strength seemed to be a low-end existence in the biological chain.

Of course, this didn’t mean the scales were poor, but rather that fish as a species struggled to become hunters.

"Then let’s try it." The small white dragon reverted to its original form, a benefit brought by the Alien Phenomenon manifestation.

Although the Holy Relic of Life had been converted into a God’s Core, with almost no energy reactions in this world, Illusory Eye technology still provided related strengthening.

In this world, body strength received tremendous enhancement, generating stronger biological energy, enough to power Illusory Eye to activate the Alien Phenomenon manifestation.

Even if it’s just for a very short time, it was enough for Tanshia Firlo to unlock the Magic that disappeared due to Environmental Adjustment, and the power of the God’s Core, allowing longer maintenance of the Alien Phenomenon manifestation afterwards.

As for undoing the Alien Phenomenon manifestation after transforming into a dragon, it wasn’t a problem—Magic would disappear again, preventing a return to human form, but that wasn’t a big deal.

Transforming into a dragon, she swung her claws to help tear off the fish scales; such scales could directly be used as a grill... Well, normal flames really struggled to heat them enough to grill meat.

Zheng Yichen collected some branches... presumably parts of branches, and lit a fire, with the small branches emitting unusual heat when burning.

He helplessly flicked the branch in his hand: "Is this nuclear fuel?"

Though his metaphor was a bit exaggerated, the energy released by the burning branch was indeed rampage.

In another world, crafting a special engine, no fuel would be needed—just toss two of these branches in, and the vehicle would run.

The flame was strong, rapidly heating the fish scales and the snow-white fish meat on top.

High-quality ingredients don’t require much delicate processing; the aroma released after grilling was quite good.

Sniffing, Tanshia Firlo was even more motivated as she dug out more fish meat.

Looking back, she saw the projected Lilith dutifully preparing the ingredients, and she slightly pouted her little mouth, viciously taking a bite of the fish meat clawed in her grasp.

Dragons eating raw meat is normal; a dragon’s taste is richer than that of the human race.

Humans might not handle raw meat well, but dragons can savor the inherent aroma of raw meat, though cooked ingredients are naturally better.

Overly tough meat isn’t easy for normal creatures to consume; only heating or grilling to lessen the toughness allows normal consumption; eating it raw is like swallowing a hard-to-digest stone.

With two hundred billion calories in one gram of uranium, if a person eats it, they won’t need to eat for the rest of their life... just don’t eat recklessly in the next life.

While strong creatures could indeed digest such material!

Just looking at the size of this fish, you can tell that this creature’s meat is indeed delicious, but this deliciousness is relative; for creatures that meet the standard, it’s like this.

For creatures that don’t meet the standard, they will only feel that this fish’s meat is like high-strength rubber; there’s no case where the meat automatically becomes tender after the fish dies.

No matter how tender it is, if you don’t meet the standard, then you can’t expect to eat it normally. You have to chop this kind of meat into mince to further reduce the eating conditions, or cook it.

Tanshia Firlo belongs to those above the standard. Even if her size is far smaller than this fish, her own physical condition is good enough, and after coming to this world, her physique has been adjusted by the environment to a very high level.

Even Tanshia Firlo feels that with her current physical strength, she could thrash a group of Dragon Gods without using magic in her home world, leaving them with lumps all over.

In this world, compared to the powerful creatures of the homeland, her only shortcoming is her size.

Hmm, in such a world, will I maintain a state of rapid growth in the dragon form due to environmental adjustment?

Not to mention that enormous flying creature hiding behind a mountain in the distance, about ten kilometers away, even having just one-tenth of its size seems pretty good.

Thinking of this, the small white dragon glanced at Zheng Yichen, doesn’t a man just love something big and strong?

In dragon form, wings span the sky, while in human form, she’s petite and exquisite. Hmm, double the joy, just like that...

Humming pleasantly, Tanshia Firlo sensed something, tossed away the piece of meat in her hand, which struck a suddenly leaping pink and white creature.

The tough piece of meat exploded, piercing through the head of that pink and white long worm.

It was a gigantic worm with a diameter exceeding twenty meters.

Watching the soft and limp, slightly twitching pink and white worm fall, Tanshia Firlo widened her eyes: "What’s this?"

Before she finished her sentence, several similar worms drilled out of the dead fish’s body, gathering strength and launching themselves bullet-like towards the small white dragon.

Bang, bang, bang, gunshots rang out. Those worms, after maintaining their momentum briefly, fell limply to the ground.

Tanshia Firlo landed from the air, somewhat cautiously eyeing those worms.

"Parasites." Zheng Yichen turned back to look at the river, which could only create relatively big splashes despite having an Earth thrown in. He nodded: "After all, it’s freshwater fish..."

As everyone knows, freshwater fish have quite a few parasites. In such a world, parasites appear larger, which seems normal, albeit it doesn’t seem to matter much to them.

For such large parasites, it might be hard for the distant giant flying beast to notice them, while for a creature like him, less than two meters tall, he doesn’t even qualify to be parasitized in this world.

In front of such parasites, humans are just swallowed whole, not needing parasitization at all.

"I’m not eating that stuff."

Tanshia Firlo had a face of disgust; the pink, white long meat worm looked quite slick and gross.

Zheng Yichen put away the Army Decimating sniper rifle he had taken out and walked over to one of the parasites, stabbing it with the black spear in his hand, turning the parasite’s body rapidly to ashes.

He shook his head: "Trash!"

In this world, his physique strength is just too high. Compared to him, as a large-bodied organism, the parasite simply cannot provide much effective feedback, not even much Life Force feedback.

So, sometimes it’s more worthwhile to supplement Essence of Life in low environments. In high environments, his own strength goes up, and the quality of Essence of Life goes up too.

Moreover, the increase is quite outrageous, leading to the replenishment efficiency not increasing but decreasing.

Unless he has the kind of item in games that can directly ignore the blood bar values and restore Life Value by percentage.

Supplementing Essence of Life in a low environment is equivalent to using recovery items without equipment.

Without the massive Life and Energy increases from equipment, one bottle of non-percentage restoration potion replenishes full health and energy. Putting the equipment back on, you’d be a full-status hero again.

"So, are we going to eat it or not?"

"Of course, we’ll eat it." Zheng Yichen said as a matter of course: "The parasite isn’t a poison insect; it doesn’t affect the other parts of the meat’s quality."

Returning to the grill shack, Zheng Yichen invited Tanshia Firlo together to eat.

As their physical quality improved, the demands for food also increased. After eating dozens of pounds of fish meat just now, he didn’t feel anything at all. In contrast, he wasn’t that hungry, but now his appetite increased.

It seemed like those dozens of pounds of fish meat were just like hawthorn flakes, only good for snacks.

Patting his belly, Zheng Yichen was thinking whether, if he lived in this world for a long time, he would encounter the kind of situation where one meal takes ten days to half a month to finish.

His mouth is only so big, even if he could eat exaggeratedly like an Anime character, facing a gigantic fish several kilometers long, it would still take ten days to half a month to finish.

Looking at Tanshia Firlo, Zheng Yichen silently shook his head. Even adding one more mouth seemed dubious.
