Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive-Chapter 186: Safe for Consumption

Chu Hao decided to test the power of the first level of the sword technique he had inherited. Although he still hadn’t mastered it yet, he thought that if he applied the technique in battle, it might give him new insight and understanding of swordsmanship.

In this case, when he went to ask advice from his grandfather later, he could at least pinpoint his weaknesses and strengths and determine where he couldn’t understand.

Thus, holding his ancient sword, he injected spiritual energy into the sword and moved his left foot back a little while his right foot remained motionless.

Raising the sword above his head with the tip pointing to the sky, he slashed down with the momentum of a thousand catties.

This was the first time Chu Hao had used this move on a live target instead of practicing with air. He was still not used to it and by the time the sword was parallel to the ground, its strength had reduced and even though the sword Qi managed to penetrate the water, it didn’t injure the fish he was aiming at.

On the contrary, it seemed that the fish had become infuriated and shot a water arrow the size of an arm in his direction.

Chu Hao hurriedly dodged and at the same time, raised the sword again. This time the momentum was reduced as much as before. He still managed to leave a slight cut on the surface of the fish’s skin.

The shimmer of the scales seemed to have dimmed a little with this injury and Chu Miao almost thought she was hallucinating.

Thus, she asked him to strike again and make sure he left a deeper injury this time.

The fish didn’t seem to have any intelligence at all. Even though it was repeatedly hurt, it still insisted on attacking the people in front of it.

Chu Hao raised his sword again and this time, the strength was increased significantly. Since his sister had asked him to leave a deeper wound, then he would oblige.

Therefore, he increased the amount of spiritual energy that passed through the sword and slashed down again. The sword Qi left a one foot wound on the fish and even some scales came off with the injury.

Blood started to pour out continuously.

Chu Miao concentrated on the fish’s scales and indeed found that the shimmer had dimmed even further. This showed that even though it wasn’t easy to hurt the fish, especially for those with little strength, going by how little the fishes attacked by the new team members were hurt, attacking continuously could wear out their defense.

These fish seemed to have high attack and defense power, but their defense collapsed too quickly.

"Keep attacking. Hurting them even a little reduces their defense ability. Hurry up so we can move on. I don’t think the blood here will bring anything good." Chu Miao advised quickly when she saw that the group was a little slow.

However, not all of them were slow, Ye Xuan had already killed two fish. After electrocuting those fish in the water forcing them to surface and attack, he had used dark energy to invade their opening such as the eyes and gills.

The dark energy was like a poisonous smoke eroding their organs and causing them to collapse in a short time. Within a few minutes, the corpses of the fish floated in the water.

Chu Miao looked at this scene and wondered whether these mutated fish were as edible as the demon beasts from her soul ring.

Thinking that they may have some benefits, she waited for her brother to finally slash the first fish to death before using her spiritual power to pull it next to the boat where she was seated and examine it thoroughly.

Using her divine sense to probe, she found that the fish had a crystal core in its head, but it looked clear. Unlike the previous crystal cores she had retrieved from the mutated rats that had a dark mass in the middle, this crystal core was completely pure.

She used spiritual energy to dig into the head of the fish and take the crystal core out. Using her water ability, she cleaned it and brought it closer to her eyes to examine it better.

It was indeed as she had seen while it was still in the brain. The crystal core was the same as a demon beast core and was pure light blue in color without any impurities.

Taking out a dagger, Chu Miao cut open the head completely and examined the brain. It was actually funny to see a fish that had a brain in its head.

Chu Miao never thought that fish had such a thing. However, examining the fish, she found that there were no signs of the brain becoming contaminated, a sign of zombification.

Thus, she could conclude that this fish was safe to eat. She just didn’t know how it tasted, but she intended to find out if it was the same as regular fish.

After making sure that it was okay to eat, she looked up to see how the other three members they had picked up today were doing and she was not entirely disappointed.

Especially watching Chichi use a machete to attack the fish as soon as they got close to the boat. Looking at this scene, Chu Miao wondered if using the hypnotic poison on these fish would have an effect.

She opened her mouth and instructed her to use it.

"Chichi, try using your poison and see if it can make the fish come closer without resisting. Don’t worry about us, we’ll be fine."

When she heard what Chu said, Chichi didn’t ask any questions or doubt her even for a second, she immediately released her hypnotic poison towards the fish.

She, however, tried to control the direction and only aimed at the fish. Just because Miss Chu said not to worry didn’t mean she could be carefree when using her ability.
