Chapter 331: Dissecting Catfish Essence
Then he quickly jumped onto the boat, ready to return to shore and have someone decompose the catfish spirit's corpse while it was still hot.
As for why Jiang Li didn't let Mo Ying carry him ashore, it was because this guy was covered in injuries.
In addition to the bite caused by jumping out of the water, there were also bite wounds caused by deliberately exposing flaws when luring the fish underwater.
Jiang Li felt embarrassed to continue exploiting it when he saw how miserable it was.
After calling out to it to follow, he led his men to the shore. In less than twenty minutes, Jiang Li and his group reached the shore.
After ordering someone to clear out a piece of space, Jiang Li released the catfish spirit's body and asked his eight monks from the Supernatural Bureau to perform an autopsy.
After all, this catfish spirit has been practicing for hundreds of years, so its demonic power is very strong. If an ordinary person is corroded by this demonic energy, he will suffer a serious illness at best, and at worst he will be directly transformed into a demon. Therefore, even those Taoist soldiers with low cultivation cannot withstand it.
It could only be dissected by these eight monks from the Spiritual Bureau. When they were about to start the operation, Jiang Li specifically instructed them, "Collect more of its blood. This guy has a trace of true dragon blood!"
Upon hearing this, the monks' eyes lit up immediately, and then they quickly started cutting the fish's body. The fish skin, fish meat, fish blood, and fish bones were continuously cut off, packed, weighed, and packed in one go.
At this time, Jiang Li finally had time to check on Mo Ying's injuries.
Looking up, I saw that Mo Ying's body had been bitten twice, leaving thousands of densely packed small holes on it. Although none of them were too deep, they were all bitten through the scales to the flesh, and blood was oozing out of him at this moment!
If Mo Ying was only bitten twice, why did he have thousands of wounds? This requires talking about the structure of catfish teeth.
Because catfish teeth are not like mammals, which only have one row each. Instead, catfish have thousands of tiny teeth densely distributed in the upper and lower jaws and inside the mouth.
But judging from the huge size of the catfish monster, these so-called tiny teeth are not that small, otherwise they would not be able to pierce Mo Ying's scales.
Back to Jiang Li, when he saw Mo Ying bleeding, he immediately found a bucket and a dozen bowls and distributed them to the Taoist soldiers around him, asking them to collect the blood to avoid wasting it.
Mo Ying was so shocked when he saw Jiang Li's actions that he almost dropped his jaw. He immediately complained through voice transmission, "Master, I'm injured. Isn't it bad for you to do this?"
Jiang Li laughed when he heard this, "You're already injured anyway, it would be a waste to lose all this blood, why not collect it and make some pills!"
But although he said this, his hands were not idle. He took out a few bottles of healing medicine from the storage ring and applied them to Mo Ying's wounds.
Seeing this, Mo Ying realized that Jiang Li was joking with him, so he no longer cared about his wound, but instead sent a message to Jiang Li with a smug look on his face.
"Hehehe, Master, if you look at this catfish spirit's inner elixir, why don't you give it to me?"
"Once I refine it, my cultivation will surely be able to advance further!"
When Jiang Li heard this, he immediately joked with it again, "That's fine, but you won't get any of its flesh and blood!"
When Mo Ying heard Jiang Li's words, he immediately lowered his head and became conflicted. On the one hand, his bloodline was improving, and on the other hand, his cultivation was improving. He really didn't know how to make a decision.
Seeing its tangled look, Jiang Li immediately laughed, "I was just kidding. If I don't give you this much fish meat, I won't be able to eat it all. Don't worry, since you have contributed, you won't lose your share!"
Mo Ying became excited upon hearing this, and as he became excited, the parts of his body that had just been treated with medicine began to crack again, and a lot of blood flowed out.
Seeing it like this, Jiang Li slapped it and said, "Don't move, or you'll bleed dry and I'll have no choice but to stew you and eat several bowls of it with tears in my eyes!"
Hearing this, Mo Ying was startled for a moment, and then he really didn't move, waiting for Jiang Li to apply medicine to him.
Because Mo Ying was no longer moving, Jiang Li quickly applied the medicine to it. Then he took a look at this guy, walked to the catfish spirit, picked up two buckets of blood, and came to Mo Ying.
"Head down, mouth open!"
Seeing this, Mo Ying immediately tilted his head and opened his mouth, allowing Jiang Li to pour two buckets of blood into his mouth, then he tilted his head back and swallowed it.
Seeing it swallowed it, Jiang Li casually said, "Stay here and refine it. I'll go over there and take a look." Then he turned around and came to the catfish spirit again.
He called a monk from the Supernatural Bureau, took the catfish spirit's inner elixir from him, and began to examine it carefully.
As soon as Jiang Li got the inner elixir, he felt a strong demonic aura coming at him. It was totally unlike the warm and peaceful inner elixir of the six-winged centipede. Instead, it was cold and weird.
After taking a closer look, he realized that he could not consume this thing, so he put it in a jade box, attached a demon-suppressing talisman to it, and put it in the storage ring.
Then he took a look at the progress of dealing with the catfish spirit, and seeing that it would take a long time, he decided not to wait here any longer, and ordered the soldiers to start a fire and cook, eat and rest first, and then talk about going down to the lake tomorrow.
Jiang Li went back to the tent to rest, but the people watching from afar were in an uproar.
They had seen Mo Ying rushing out of the water from afar, and then heard a painful roar, and finally he swam in the water and struggled with something, causing a lot of splashes.
After a while, they saw the ships returning one after another. They used their imaginations and immediately guessed what had happened.
It must be the black dragon fighting with the catfish king. Seeing that these ships returned safely, it must be that the black dragon defeated the catfish king. I just don't know how much damage there was.
When everyone was guessing the specific outcome of the battle, a few old men suddenly stood up from the crowd.
"Fellow villagers, I think it was the Dragon King who was fighting with the Catfish King. We were waiting at a distance and had no idea what the outcome would be."
"But there is one thing. There is a turtle fairy in Dongting Lake. It is a good fairy. If it is eliminated by the army sent by Commander Jiang, it will be very bad!"
When everyone heard this, they all thought it made sense, so they started whispering to each other, and the crowd immediately fell into chaos, but no one had any good solution.
Seeing this, the old men immediately looked at each other and said to everyone, "Turtle Immortal has protected us for many years. When we see him in trouble, we will lend a helping hand."
"So I plan to go to the military camp and ask to see the general, tell him everything, and see if I can ask him to let Turtle Immortal go. Anyone interested can go with me!"
Everyone at the scene was a little hesitant when they heard this. After all, in their inherent concept, the military is unreasonable.
Even if Jiang Li did so many things to benefit the people, that was Jiang Li's credit and had little to do with these soldiers, so many of them were instinctively afraid and did not dare to go.
