Cherreads

Chapter 39 - Braised and Steamed Delicacies

Bobo proudly led the bubble beasts back to the shore.

Then they went straight ashore.

The bubbles are like tough cloth; they won't be punctured by the pebbles on the ground.

Once it was stable, pop! The bubble burst under the control of these chubby little dinosaurs.

He came to Lear's side with great enthusiasm to take credit for him.

"Master, we've caught all the fish inside!"

"These red fish look delicious. May we try some?"

"Owner."

Lear was in a great mood.

He praised the little ones highly.

These bubble creatures look cute, but they're quite capable.

This time, I've done a great job.

After taking stock, a total of 47 dragon blood red fish were caught this time.

They were all big fish; there were no juveniles.

However, the Bubble Beasts repeatedly confirmed that all the Dragonblood Red Fish in the water had been caught.

Lear nodded in satisfaction.

Getting dozens of 2-star Dragonblood Red Fish is already a huge profit.

The remaining ordinary fish filled five water bubbles, making it another great harvest!

Having obtained everything he was entitled to, Lear, in a good mood, didn't hesitate and headed straight back to his territory.

Although they encountered a terrifying swarm of giant blood mosquitoes on the trip, there were not many unexpected events, and they still managed to get what they wanted most.

Bubble Beast controls eight bubbles, each 3 meters in diameter and filled with fish, which follow it around.

These bubbles, filled with air, seemed to float in mid-air as if they had no weight.

Watching the little creatures' actions, Lear felt even more that the Bubble Beasts had unlimited potential.

It can be used for fishing, filtering water, aquaculture, and even transporting items with bubbles. It can even be used to fight with bubbles – it's practically a multi-functional battle vehicle!

The only downside is that there aren't enough of them.

Thinking of this, Lear asked with some curiosity.

"BoBo, how do you reproduce?"

"Reproduction?"

Bobo was a little confused when he heard this word.

Lear explained with a smile.

"The key is how to create new Bubble Beasts."

"It's very simple. Just mix your bubbles with other people's bubbles, then add a drop of our blood. New partners can be born in just three months!"

Bobo's face turned bitter after she finished speaking.

"But bleeding is very painful, and each time we lose half a month's worth of strength. So we rarely create new bubbles on our own, unless there are unexpected circumstances that require us to add more companions."

Lear thought of the evaluation on the Bubble Beast's panel, that it even needs bubbles to reproduce.

The real Bubble Beast!

However, the price these little guys pay for reproducing is only losing half a month of strength?

What kind of price is that?

We need to increase their numbers.

If there were three or five hundred of them, wouldn't that be heaven-sent?!

I patted Bobo's little head without saying much. 26 is still too few.

We returned the way we came, and nothing unexpected happened.

Upon returning to the territory, Bain immediately came to greet him.

Seeing the bubbles filled with fish floating in mid-air, her smile brightened again.

"Sir, so many fish! What a bumper harvest!!"

Lear smiled.

"It's all thanks to Bubble Beast."

He gestured to the dragon blood red fish in the middle.

He said in a serious tone.

"These are 2-star magical creatures, Dragonblood Red Fish. Eating them will permanently increase your stamina, and their meat is delicious and extremely rare."

"Let's deal with three of them first, then we'll eat them tonight."

"The rest will be kept in the north for now. You can assign two bubble beasts to manage them."

Lear has gotten used to Bane these past few days. This swamp hero is flexible in his dealings and doesn't mince words when it comes to getting things done.

It's perfect for handling these trivial matters.

Dragonblood Red Fish?!

A 2-star magical life form?!

Bain immediately became interested.

"Sir, would you like to try raising such a wonderful creature?"

With Bubble Beast around, it's definitely worth a try.

"Of course."

"But we caught 47 dragon blood red fish, but none of them were juveniles. Breeding might be a problem. Keep an eye out."

"Yes, sir! Please leave it to me!"

Bain has always been very proactive about this kind of thing.

Although I've only been in the muddy swamp for a few days.

But these past few days he has personally participated in the construction of the territory, and seeing it improve day by day is such a wonderful feeling.

He has full confidence and expectations for the future of the city of Wei Lu.

Soon, a dozen or so swamp people began to kill the fish. All the ordinary swamp fish were processed, and the ones that couldn't be eaten were made into smoked fish or dried fish.

Dragon Blood Red Fish selected three large, fat fish that were almost 1.5 meters long.

Cooked by the most skilled swamp people.

An hour later, a peculiar fragrance suddenly filled the territory.

The busy crowd would occasionally turn their heads to look at the makeshift kitchen.

The sound of swallowing saliva could be heard everywhere.

The fragrance seemed to penetrate their very souls, making them unable to resist it.

Bubble Beast didn't even blink, and the drool at the corner of its mouth almost soaked its belly.

Finally, after being cooked over a great fire, the swamp people chefs in the kitchen joined forces to serve up three large pots of delicious dishes made with dragon blood red fish.

The largest pot was given to Lear, one to the Bubble Beasts, and the remaining pot was enjoyed by the Wetland Lizardman Warriors.

The swamp people enjoyed a sumptuous fish feast, while the treasure, the red-blooded dragonfish, was temporarily out of their reach.

On the wooden table, Lear looked at a large pot of stewed dragon blood red fish in front of him, the aroma making his mouth water uncontrollably.

It looks so tempting.

He had tasted countless delicacies, but none were as tempting as this, with an aroma that reached straight to the soul.

Unprecedented.

He took a deep breath, picked up the special chopsticks, and took a piece.

The fish meat resembles garlic cloves, with distinct layers.

Slowly put it into your mouth.

An indescribable, wonderful sensation unfolds on the tip of the tongue.

At this moment, it felt as if I had risen into the clouds, and my whole body was enveloped in cotton candy-like clouds.

That was an unprecedented experience; even the deluxe version of the Great Sword was less than one ten-thousandth of it.

As I swallowed, a warm current surged up, and my body seemed to become a little stronger.

Strength comes from within.

Every cell was cheering with joy.

This is not just about food; it's a cleansing experience for the body and a soul-stirring enjoyment.

I finished it in one bite, and couldn't resist taking a second and a third bite.

He ate a 1.5-meter-long fish, weighing about 30 kilograms, all by himself.

The fish meat was transformed into pure energy as soon as it entered the stomach, leaving no residue behind.

In the end, my whole body felt warm and cozy, as if I had soaked in a hot spring.

I can clearly feel that my physical fitness has improved significantly.

Clench your right fist and violently swing it forward.

Whoosh~ The air was filled with a piercing whistling sound.

It's two to three times stronger than before!

exaggerate!

After consumption, it can permanently enhance physical strength.

This is a 2-star magical lifeform. So awesome!

Lear was filled with amazement.

Unfortunately, the effects of the fish became less noticeable towards the end, and by the last tenth or so, it had no effect at all.

If we could keep raising the ceiling, wow, I can't even imagine.

What's even more amazing is the taste of the Dragon Blood Red Fish. Even without the property of boosting physical strength, the unparalleled taste experience alone is worth a fortune!

We must try feeding them, otherwise they won't be able to keep up with this diet for long.

He could no longer accept a life without the Dragonblood Red Fish.

After lunch, the territory was peaceful and comfortable.

I haven't had such a satisfying meal in ages.

The fish was thick and meaty, and everyone enjoyed a delicious and satisfying meal.

The bubble beasts and wetland lizardmen, who had enjoyed the dragon blood red fish, were completely immersed in the exquisite taste experience.

After taking a nap, Lear summoned Bane.

The swamp hero eagerly arrived at the northern part of the territory, pointing to the muddy ground ahead.

"Designate this entire area in front as a fish farm."

"Please assign personnel to manage this specifically."

As he spoke, he looked at the Bubble Beast beside him.

"Bo Bo, use bubbles to build a mud wall in front of us to prevent the Dragon Blood Red Fish from escaping."

"We also need to assign someone to control the bubbles and raise the dragon blood red fish inside them."

Dragonblood red fish look difficult to raise, but he wouldn't give up without trying.

Upon receiving the order, Bain and Bobo immediately sprang into action.

Bobo summoned 10 bubble beasts, and together they began to control the bubbles to create a large breeding farm in the north, with a diameter of over 100 meters.

It can be expanded at any time if needed.

They manipulated the bubbles like bulldozers, squeezing the surrounding silt, hollowing out the ground, and piling them up to form a thick partition wall.

At the same time, a huge bubble condensed in the center, enveloping the Dragonblood Red Fish.

With double protection, it's simply impossible for these exquisite delicacies to escape.

With the help of Bubble Beast, the first version of the fish pond was completed quickly.

Watching the dragonblood red fish swim in the crystal-clear bubbles, Bain, after his initial excitement, scratched his head and asked Lear a question.

"Sir, what should we feed them?"

Lear gazed at the dragonblood red fish swimming happily and said in a light voice.

"Since it's a fish, it must be able to eat those things as well—carnivorous and herbivorous."

"If you starve them for a few days and feed them meat and grass in rotation, you'll eventually find something they like to eat."

"Or we could have the bubble beasts divide the area into several sections and feed them in different areas."

Fish can survive for ten days to half a month without any problems. A fatter one can survive for several months.

There's plenty of time to find a solution for them; if all else fails, just kill them and use them as a snack with your drinks.

There's always a way.
