Chapter 167 - Chapter 167: Black-and-White Fish! Seven-Treasure Crystal Wine!!!

"Consecutive Death Beams!"

Thin purple beams shot from Roy's finger one after another, firing toward those bizarre fish.

This move was also one of Frieza-sama's special techniques. When Son Goku walked out of the healing chamber, Frieza-sama, who had transformed into his final form, used this move to greet him.

Still, if Frieza-sama knew this technique was being used to kill fish, who knew how he would feel?

But the results were extremely gratifying. Under the barrage of Death Beams, the fish were pierced through their vital points one after another, dropping to the ground as black-and-white mixed blood flowed out of them.

Finally, when no more fish jumped out of the lake, Roy began paying attention to this harvest.

As the outstanding disciple of a true foodie, Roy had undoubtedly inherited a fine tradition: "Anything and everything can be eaten."

When Roy looked at these strange fish and the multicolored lake water, the first thought that popped into his mind was: Can I eat this? Can I drink this?

However, creatures with such strange colors were usually like those brightly colored mushrooms. Most of them were highly poisonous and could not be eaten casually.

But Roy was not afraid. After all, he had Dende's Healing Technique in hand!

A ring of golden light wrapped around his hand, and the fish in his grasp instantly changed appearance. The originally distinct black-and-white colors all vanished, turning completely earth-yellow!

Color: earth-yellow!

That was right. It was that ugly, rustic earth-yellow. Compared to the original elegant appearance where black and white harmonized with each other, it was indeed a little uglier.

Roy directly used the high-temperature flames ignited by his Flame Jet Bullet and began roasting the ugly earth-yellow fish.

Immediately afterward, once it had been roasted to a certain point, a dense fragrance instantly spread from the earth-yellow fish and rushed toward him!

At the same time that the aroma burst out, the earth-yellow fish's entire body instantly turned silver-gray. It even emitted specks of light like stars, making it look even more elegant and noble than when it had been black and white.

Because Roy had been holding the earth-yellow fish in his hand while roasting it, and because the fish was inside the barrier, the intense fragrance that erupted from it directly blasted Roy full in the face.

"Gulp!"

Roy's throat bobbed hard. At the same time, his stomach also let out a rumble.

"Chomp!"

Roy directly bit down on the silver-gray fish, and the ultimate deliciousness of fresh fish meat immediately bloomed in his mouth.

The texture of the meat was incredibly fresh, tender, and soft. Because the fish itself possessed tremendous speed and powerful strength, the meat was tender while also being extremely elastic and chewy.

The flavor also carried a primitive, weighty depth, as if it had been filled with the deepest essence of the ocean. The fragrance awakened by roasting it to just the right point erupted outward, drawing out the appetite from the deepest part of a person's throat!

The taste of the sea!

It overflowed with the breath of the ocean!

Roy did not understand why an earth-yellow fish from a lake had such a rich oceanic flavor, but he did not care about that. He bit down fiercely again.

The flavor seemed to hammer his tongue with great force. As he chewed, the deliciousness of the meat, the crispness of the fish bones, and that surging vitality danced across the tip of his tongue. The taste crashed along his esophagus like a wave, surging into his stomach and sweeping through his entire body!

Furthermore, while eating this fish, Roy could clearly sense that the Nen inside his body had increased by a sliver!

This kind of meat could actually help with Nen ability training!

"What an ultimate delicacy!"

Before he realized it, Roy had finished eating the entire fish. After feeling it for a while, he could not help but sigh.

Then he quickly used Healing Technique to purge the poison from all the fish, turning them into earth-yellow fish before storing them all away with a Capsule. After counting them, there were around thirty or so in total.

After packing up the fish, Roy opened his water cup. Inside it was lake water of nine different colors. Roy followed the same method and used Healing Technique on it.

The result was the same. The black and white colors were purged away, leaving only the seven rainbow colors behind. The instant the black and white colors were removed, an intense aroma of alcohol rushed into Roy's nose.

He took a light sip. A mellow, rich flavor spread through his mouth, filling his entire oral cavity!

"This is the first time I've ever drunk wine this fragrant, this mellow, and this smooth!"

Roy took another swig and praised loudly, "Good wine!"

Not only was this wine mellow and fragrant, but every time he drank it, it had a different flavor!

Roy drank half a cup in one go and summarized it. This wine had seven flavors in total, perfectly corresponding to the seven colors.

The red was fierce and spicy. The blue was mellow and lingering. The green was fresh and natural. The yellow was smooth and easy to drink. The purple was sweet, bitter, and cool, and so on.

Every time it entered his mouth, it had a different taste, as if a person would never get tired of drinking it no matter how much they had.

Even rarer was that this wine did not go to the head!

Furthermore, this wine was even more effective for Nen ability training than the black-and-white fish. Roy also felt that this wine benefited the entire body. Every time he drank a different color, it gave his body a different sensation.

The red-flavored wine filled his body with surging vitality. The blue wine completely relaxed his body and eliminated fatigue, and so on.

Thinking of this harvest, Roy felt extremely satisfied. He took another gulp of wine.

The Dark Continent really was filled with treasures everywhere!

"Since they're fish with black and white colors, I'll just name them Black-and-White Fish. As for this wine that has had its black and white colors removed, I'll name it Seven-Treasure Crystal Wine."

Roy directly gave names to these two harvests.

In truth, if Roy did not have Instant Transmission, reaching this place would have required crossing layer after layer of dangers outside. Even after arriving, one would still have to face the poisonous fragrance and binding attacks of those flowers and grasses.

Those flowers and grasses also possessed extremely powerful regenerative abilities. If Roy had not directly burned them out by the roots, they likely would not have stiffened and died so easily.

Even if someone made it past the flowers and grasses, there was still this strange lake. The nine-colored lake water inside was all highly poisonous!

Moreover, if it was not held with aura, then the instant one touched the lake surface, one would sink just like that stone from earlier. Even if one was not poisoned to death, one would drown.

And after the lake water was collected with aura, the highly lethal Black-and-White Fish at the bottom of the lake would spray out. Their powerful speed and strength would catch anyone off guard!

Even if someone resolved all of that, without the highest-level poison-removal method, they would have absolutely no way to purge the fierce poison from the lake water and the Black-and-White Fish. If there was even the slightest negligence during the detoxification process, the poison would instantly invade the body and kill them on the spot.

So, it was true that the Dark Continent was filled with treasures everywhere, but every treasure was buried beneath layer after layer of vicious, lethal traps.
