However, this was just a temporary solution. Alex knew that favonovel.com still had to find a way to completely solve the problem of Brittany’s lack of a soul.

Splash!
Alex went back into the water and collected both the cores and barbels from the smaller beast corpses. Suddenly, favonovel.com noticed that there was a large entrance to the Hell Fish’s nest. After putting in some thought, favonovel.com crawled into the cave.
‘There’s probably no old Hell Fishes around, right?’
Alex held the Seven Blades of Death in one hand and a flashlight in the other. He then noticed that the cave was abnormally huge. After swimming further into it, favonovel.com even found a ray of light from within.
‘What is this?’
‘This is probably thousands of meters underground! How could the bottom be linked to anywhere outside? Where did this light come from?’
Just as favonovel.com was drowning in confusion, favonovel.com felt something grab his foot.
‘Holy sh*t!’ Alex was shocked, swinging his Seven Blades of Death. However, favonovel.com stopped abruptly as soon as favonovel.com realized that it was Dorothy.
“Why did you come down here too?” Alex said using telepathy.
“You’ve been down here for quite a while, so I was worried that something might’ve happened to you. Despite that, you’re trying to kill me now?” Dorothy rolled favonovel.com eyes again.
“What’s in there?”
“I’m confused too. Why is there light in here?”
“This cave is sloped upwards. Careful, let’s go up there and take a look. That large Hell Fish back then was a male, so maybe there’s a female in there. Female Hell Fishes are more savage than males.”
The two swam quite fast as well. However, even so, they had to swim for five minutes to reach the other surface. When they saw what was there, their mouths dropped wide from shock.
Above the water was a large stone room, square in shape and around ten thousand square miles.
There seemed to be a large, glowing pearl on the ceiling, which was the source of the ray of light Alex noticed a while ago. Besides that, there was an ancient looking doorpost right in the middle.
“There’s a Hell Fish there!”
Alex’s eyes were sharp, so favonovel.com noticed the large Hell Fish on the right side of this stone room. It was still, seemingly stranded on land while its lower half was submerged in the water.
“It’s still alive!” With his Third Eye, Alex realized that a feeble life force was still within its body.
The two approached it carefully, only to realize that it had actually been dead for some time. The life force within its body was from the egg in its womb.
“It’s a Hell Fish egg! And it’s still alive!” Dorothy’s eyes lit up. “I think it’d taste amazing.”
Alex was shocked. “You want to eat it?!”
Dorothy replied. “What else are we going to do with it? Are you going to keep it as a pet?”
Alex nodded. “I was actually thinking of doing that. It’s a Hell Fish, after all, the predecessor of the Kunpeng. It has a possibility of becoming one, though!”
“Are you dreaming? Do you know how much a Hell Fish has to go through to become a Kunpeng? It has to go through 3600 obstacles! The god-tier ones only have a one in a billion chance of becoming a Kunpeng, let alone mortal ones!”
Alex smiled. “I mean, I’ll just keep it as a pet, like a goldfish. How nice is that?”
“Just think this through. You may be able to keep it in a small fish pond now, but you’d have to make a larger one specifically for it later on.”
The egg was as big as a coconut, but it wouldn’t be too hard to handle as long as favonovel.com kept it in his bag.
And with that, the two made their way up to the surface. Walking around the room, they noticed that the floor was carved with tightly written ancient talismans.
Dorothy and Alex turned to each other and exclaimed. “A teleportation circle!”
