Chapter 244: This Meal is Poisonous

"Who are you?" The Immortal of Immortality looked at the four comers vigilantly. All four of these people had higher realms than her, all at the Jin Dan stage.

Lü Chang's smile grew wider.

The four of them often roamed the dense forest. On the surface, like others, they fought demon beasts and collected treasures of heaven and earth. In reality, their true forms were demon beasts, secretly killing people and seizing goods, taking away storage rings, looting them clean, and trading with humans who accepted black money to obtain high profits.

Originally, they came to discuss the next step of the plan with the lake master, but they didn't expect to meet a little girl here.

Late Foundation Establishment stage cultivation, looking cute and well-behaved, clothes not properly worn, and even barefoot. She was probably a young lady from some noble family who came here for training and got separated from her guards.

This was a very common thing. After all, in the vast dense forest, the highest realm couldn't possibly be only the Jin Dan stage.

According to what they knew, there was an elephant demon nearby with Nascent Soul stage cultivation, and its strength was terrifying.

Lü Chang had little experience and couldn't recognize what the Immortal of Immortality was wearing, but he could be sure that the material was absolutely expensive.

A young lady from a noble family going out for training must have many good things on her. Finally, even if the noble family chased them down, they wouldn't be afraid. This was the dense forest, where life and death were up to heaven. Who could guarantee that there wouldn't be accidents during training?

At worst, they could lead the disaster to the humans themselves. Anyway, humans did this kind of thing quite often.

And this little girl was still cooking here, looking like a heartless person, easy to deceive.

Lü Chang thought through various situations they might encounter to ensure there was no danger before coming out to kindly care about the Immortal of Immortality's origin.

"We are cultivators who came to the lakeside to collect medicinal herbs. We didn't expect to meet you, little girl, here. It's very dangerous here, with Jin Dan stage demon beasts lurking. Even we don't dare to stay here for long."

The Immortal of Immortality recalled the lake master she had just killed with a casual punch. It was weak and had no threat. She shook her head: "Dangerous? No."

"That's because you haven't encountered them yet. Where are your elders? It's very dangerous here!"

"Went to challenge Jin Dan stage demon beasts. I felt bored, so I ran out... ah no, he is not my elder!" The Immortal of Immortality instinctively followed Lü Chang's words. After realizing something was wrong, she hurriedly corrected the logical contradiction.

Lu Yang was just a junior; she was the elder.

Lü Chang and the other three looked at each other, certain that this little girl had snuck out.

"Fish King, are you here?" Lü Chang secretly used his spiritual sense to communicate with the lake master, wanting to ask about the situation of this little girl and whether they should cooperate to do a job together.

"Not here?"

Lü Chang shouted a few times with his spiritual sense, but saw no response from the Fish King.

Could it be that it had transformed and gone ashore to other places to look for prey?

Since that was the case, then blame the lake master for not having good luck, letting the four of them enjoy this unexpected wealth alone.

"Are you looking for fish?" The Immortal of Immortality's words startled Lü Chang. He was using his spiritual sense to communicate with the lake master, so how could it be detected by an outsider?

"Then let's eat. It's just made."

The Immortal True Fire burned the branches into ashes, and then used the residual heat of the ashes to heat the beggar's fish.

The Immortal of Immortality dug out a large piece of mud from the ashes, knocked open the outer layer of mud, tore open the middle layer of lotus leaves, and a fresh and fragrant scent permeated the air, making Lü Chang and the other four take a deep breath.

Having survived in the wild for so long, this was the first time they had smelled such fragrant food.

Was this the foundation of a big family? Even what they ate in the wild was different from theirs.

"Eat. This is the fish you were looking for." The Immortal of Immortality's words were nonsensical.

Don't look at her as an immortal chef; what is an immortal chef? Still a chef. What a chef likes most is letting guests eat the dishes she makes.

Therefore, the Immortal of Immortality very generously shared the freshly made beggar's fish with the four.

The four saw that this little girl was heartless and didn't think she would poison it. Moreover, this beggar's fish really smelled fragrant.

They decided to eat this meal before sending the little girl on her way, and the attack would be lighter.

The four found a large rock and sat around it to enjoy the food.

Lü Chang took out chopsticks from his storage ring and gently picked up a piece. He didn't expect the fish meat to be soft in texture, and it broke with a little force. There was no way, so he had to adjust his strength and carefully pick up a piece again.

The fish meat melted in the mouth. The feeling of eating it was like a ball of water, and he didn't even taste what it was like before it slid into his throat.

The Immortal of Immortality picked up two small branches, rinsed them in the lake, and used them as chopsticks.

She carefully picked up a piece and sent it to her mouth, very much enjoying it.

"Hmm, delicious."

"Speaking of which, why do you demon beasts want to transform into human form?" The Immortal of Immortality suddenly asked, "Isn't it said that the demon beast form is smoother for activities in the dense forest?"

The four stood up suddenly, looking down at the Immortal of Immortality, staring at her tightly.

"You know we are demon beasts?!"

"Saw it a long time ago."

"Then why don't you have any reaction?"

"Why should I have a reaction?"

Lü Chang just wanted to praise her for having good courage, but felt that the fish meat sliding into his stomach was like changing from water to fire, burning in his belly, burning his meridians, leaving him powerless, and bean-sized sweat drops appeared on his forehead.

Thump—

Lü Chang fell to the ground, clutching his stomach and squirming on the ground. The other three were the same, falling to the ground, looking at the harmless Immortal of Immortality, with a look of disbelief.

The four of them revealed their true forms. Lü Chang was a fox, and the other three were a hedgehog, a snake, and a large lynx.

The Immortal of Immortality found that the fish meat was quite poisonous, and could even erode Lu Yang's wood clone. If this continued, she would soon return to Lu Yang's side.

She secretly circulated the Immortal Dao Fruit to dispel the toxicity of the fish meat.

"What kind of fish is this! How did you poison it!" Lü Chang stared wide-eyed, diverting the Immortal of Immortality's attention, secretly circulating his power to resist the toxicity.

Seeing through their disguise, she pretended to be calm, invited them to eat, and poisoned the food.

This person had such deep schemes!

"It's the Fish King you were looking for. It wanted to eat me, so I ate it." The Immortal of Immortality said innocently, "Aren't you looking for it? It's a bad demon beast, don't look for it anymore."

The Immortal of Immortality wrinkled her small nose, dissatisfied with the Fish King's unreasonableness.

If it were in the ancient times, no demon beast would dare to treat her like this. This was rebellious and called for self-execution.

"The Fish King isn't a pufferfish?!" Lü Chang was greatly shocked. The Fish King was the master of this lake, a pufferfish at the peak of late Jin Dan stage, and its whole body was full of highly toxic poison!

Most importantly, this little girl was only at the late Foundation Establishment stage, how could she defeat the Fish King?

"Go, kill her! She ate the fish meat and is fine; she must have the antidote on her!" Lü Chang and the other three used their cultivation to temporarily suppress the pufferfish poison and attacked violently.

"And her storage ring, grab it together!"

Four Jin Dan stages besieged one Foundation Establishment stage. He didn't believe this little girl could still win?

"So you are like the big fish, all bad demon beasts!" The Immortal of Immortality was very dissatisfied with the attitude of the four.

She was just about to detoxify the four, but didn't expect these four to want to kill her. ===== CHAPTER 245 =====
