Chapter 591 I am a Rabbit-Eared Clan 9
The warm autumn sun shines through the thin mist in the forest, causing the dew on the leaves to evaporate into fine water vapor.
Yun Chu, carrying a wicker basket, moved nimbly among the low bushes laden with mulberries, her snow-white rabbit ears twitching alertly from time to time, catching the messages brought by the breeze.
When a dense curtain of vines almost completely covered an inconspicuous crack in the stone, a strange mist and a faint, cool scent entered my nostrils.
Driven by curiosity, she parted the thick, dark green vines.
The sight before her made her pause slightly: a deep pool nestled between the mountain and the gnarled roots of old trees, its water unusually deep, almost black, yet so clear that it reflected the swaying autumn branches above.
What truly catches the eye are the tiny silver specks shimmering in the pool—those are tiny, fine-scaled fish, no longer than a finger!
Their bodies are covered with fine silver scales, and when they swim, they are like flowing mercury, leaving behind streaks of cold light in the dark depths, pure and untouched by any other color.
"So beautiful..." Yun Chu murmured softly, instinctively feeling that they must be extremely delicious.
The orc's keen intuition made her feel that these small fish seemed to contain unusual energy fluctuations.
On a whim, she used whatever was available: she broke off a supple vine, peeled away the tough inner fibers, and then found a small wild fruit with brightly colored sap to use as bait.
She even carefully controlled her strength to avoid hurting the small fish.
The process went incredibly smoothly.
Almost the instant the bait sank into the pool, several silver figures swiftly swept over!
With almost no struggle, the small fish easily bit the simple "hook".
Yun Chu carefully unhooked them in the water—the silver fish glided as they slipped away, their scales flashing before they silently disappeared into her quietly opened "inner palace."
In that mysterious space, a shallow pit had already been dug, filled with water from the same deep pool. Dozens of silver lights moved nimbly within the pit, like a pool of moonlight gathered together, instantly illuminating a corner of the space.
They return to their nests at dusk, laden with berries and an irrepressible joy.
As the milky white broth in the stone pot began to boil, something strange happened: the aroma emanating from the fish soup was so clear and refreshing, without the slightest hint of fishiness, but rather had a pure fragrance reminiscent of herbs and snow.
Yun took a bite, and it was incredibly fresh and delicious. A gentle yet clear warmth quickly spread throughout her body, instantly sweeping away the slight fatigue accumulated from climbing and picking all day long, leaving her feeling invigorated.
You, who was sitting across the campfire eating in silence, suddenly stopped! He had been silently accepting the fish soup that Yun Chu offered, but after taking a big gulp, his deep, ancient eyes suddenly flashed with a captivating light!
The earthenware bowl in his hand slipped silently onto the animal hide, and the scalding soup spilled onto the ground, but he was completely unaware.
In an instant, his muscles tensed up like a rock, and a deep, muffled rumble, like thunder, seemed to emanate from deep within him. It was as if tiny electrical charges were crackling in the air.
A powerful aura, which had been suppressed by some invisible constraint, was now awakened like a dormant volcano, and began to violently surge and surge!
"Yun Chu... this fish..." His voice was more urgent and hoarse than ever before, his fingers clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the immense force, desperately suppressing the turmoil that was about to erupt within him, "Where did you get it?"
Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
Dawn the next day.
The pool was so quiet you could hear the dewdrops falling.
You stood by the pool, his bronze-colored body undisturbed by any animal hide, letting the mountain wind blow through him. He glanced deeply at Yun Chu beside him, whose gaze was focused, then stretched out his right hand, his five fingers forming a claw, pointing towards the inky black pool.
There was no deafening roar, only a very low, muffled growl!
An invisible, terrifying pressure suddenly enveloped the entire surface of the pool! The air instantly became heavy and viscous.
In an instant, the water in the pool seemed to be gripped and stirred violently by an invisible giant hand!
The vortex is spinning wildly!
The shimmering silver fish were powerless against the absolute pressure and terrifying current. As if being sucked in, they thrashed and struggled to rise to the surface, piling up a dazzling, shimmering "mountain" of silver scales on the shore!
Yun Chu moved with lightning speed, quickly transferring the ten most agile and robust silver fish into the water pit in the inner space.
The remaining hundreds of shimmering silver fish were all swallowed whole by You, who opened his mouth as if sucking them into a whale's belly! A massive torrent of energy erupted instantly, engulfing him completely!
In an instant, the light of the sky seemed to dim for a moment!
A blinding bolt of lightning shot into the sky from You's body without warning, tearing through the air and unleashing a deafening explosion!
Blue-purple electric snakes leaped and coiled wildly across his strong, iron-like body!
The powerful shockwave blew away all the fallen leaves, dead branches, and pebbles within a radius of ten feet!
His eyes were completely filled with blinding electric light, and he was suspended three inches above the ground, like a god who controlled thunder descending to earth!
The roar and bright light lasted for more than ten breaths before gradually subsiding.
With his feet firmly planted on the ground, the raging electric currents surrounding him quickly subsided and became tamed, eventually transforming into fine, purplish-blue lightning threads that danced and moved merrily at his fingertips.
He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze still deep, yet imbued with a new, overwhelming power capable of shattering mountains and breaking rocks, and an unprecedented clarity.
He looked down at the lightning flashing nimbly at his fingertips, feeling the brand-new power within his body that had completely broken free of its shackles and surged forth—the power of lightning!
He turned his head and looked at Yun Chu, who was still in shock but had bright, sparkling eyes.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, falling on his face, which appeared even more resolute after being tempered by thunder. A tiny, yet genuine, smile curved his lips.
“The harsh winter… is nothing to fear.”
His voice was deep, yet it carried an unprecedented, piercing confidence.
The wisp of lightning leaping from the fingertip seemed to tear through the heavy shadow of approaching winter, illuminating both the cave and its interior, and also illuminating a more solid and fearless path leading to the future.
Beneath the towering giant tree, You's figure stood like a silent mountain.
The aura of a top predator surrounding him seemed to have subtly changed, becoming more restrained, yet also more like the eye of a storm about to tear through the clouds.
When Yun Chu climbed onto his broad back, she could clearly feel a new, almost uncontrollable, restless power emanating from the muscles beneath his dark hair—a surging thunder.
The target was a herd of robust antelopes on the hillside ahead. Their fur was grayish-brown, and they leaped nimbly among the jagged rocks, completely unaware of the impending doom.
They crouched low, moving stealthily and silently.
The withered leaves in the forest turned to dust under his giant claws, without even a crisp sound, as if swallowed by an invisible force field. The distance rapidly closed to tens of feet.
"Boom—Crack!"
