Castle of Black Iron

The medical treatment today was as same as before. After finishing it, Bian Heng instantly left with his case as Zhang Tie rushed towards the ocean and came to the cave at the bottom of the sea where he immersed himself in the airy and pleasant state, being wrapped by the icy fluid. This state was like quenching a hot saber or sword, which also stimulated the production of King Kong Fruit.

In this process, Zhang Tie had long released his spiritual energy like tossing a big net, which covered himself within miles. Within this cover, any abnormal phenomenon would catch Zhang Tie’s attention. As long as anyone entered this spiritual region, Zhang Tie would sense it, be it an immortal emperor, a fish or a shrimp.

This was Zhang Tie’s alert radar, also the way of applying his spiritual energy that he had pondered in Tideviewing Courtyard——By releasing his spiritual energy and contracting it, he would get a tight surveillance net. He didn’t expect that his spiritual energy could reach far away. He only wanted to control the situation within this net completely. Although it couldn’t kill enemies, it would completely avoid him from being raided by people; esepecially immortal emperors or demon emperors. After releasing his spiritual net, as long as he spared a wisp of spiritual energy to observe the alert radar, he would be safe.

Since he survived Versatile Demon Emperor’s fatal strike, Zhang Tie had been pondering how to deal with Versatile Demon Emperor. Therefore, he worked out such a solution. Zhang Tie felt that even if he couldn’t defeat Versatile Demon Emperor for the time being, at least, he should avoid from entering Versatile Demon Emperor’s realm or being raided by Versatile Demon Emperor. This was the wisdom that weak living beings always survived on. If you didn’t have sharp claws and fangs like that of fierce beasts, you should be more sensitive, faster and more flexible than fierce beasts so that you could observe the surroundings at any time and survive yourself.

…

One night passed by soon. When the heat in his body dissipated on the second morning, Zhang Tie entered Castle of Black Iron in a split second.

After half a month, there were already 7 King Kong fruits on the small tree. After entering Castle of Black Iron, instead of heading for the canteen, Zhang Tie flashed to the small tree and picked a King Kong fruit before sitting down and digesting it, eyes closed and legs crossed.

3 hours later, Zhang Tie had digested that King Kong fruit; however, he was more hungry. When he was digesting the fruit, he had heard his belly growl like someone beating drums inside there. King Kong fruit could improve his physique; but it couldn’t make him full.

After digesting the fruit, Zhang Tie opened his eyes when he saw Heller standing under the sacrificial platform of the small tree, followed by the other three servants who were holding three trays of delicious food and watching him with great admiration.

Zhang Tie acclaimed that Heller was considerate before reaching out his hand and catching a piece of aromatic, sweet and tasty cheese bread which was as large as half a head from Edward’s tray from a few meters away. Then, he started to gulp it down.

“There’re already 7 King Kong fruits on the small tree. Castle Lord, you don’t have enough time to digest all of them today. In order to save time for you, I have them serve food here…”

“You’re so considerate…” Zhang Tie spoke highly of Heller unclearly as he ate the piece of bread, mouth full.

It was already the morning of July 15; only 17 hours left for the portal to close. Zhang Tie didn’t have enough time to digest all of them. It would take him almost 1 day to digest all the 7 King Kong fruits. Therefore, Zhang Tie was eating as more as possible.

Although Zhang Tie could enter Castle of Black Iron the moment the first day of the month arrived, he couldn’t do anything but soak himself in the icy fluid to quench his body for stimulating the production of King Kong fruit and wait for the dissipation of heat just like staying in the ocean.

Therefore, if Zhang Tie received the medical treatment on the day before the first day of each month, he could only make use of 17 hours in Castle of Black Iron to eat King Kong fruits; instead of 24 hours.

After having that huge piece of cheese bread, although being still hungry, his belly didn’t protest any more at least. Zhang Tie opened his mouth as a cup of drink mixing Dragon Emperor Medicament and sweet juice streamed into his mouth like a fountain. Closely after that, Zhang Tie stood up and picked a fruit of redemption before putting it in the mouth. After digesting it for over 10 minutes, Zhang Tie picked another fruit of redemption and digested it. Then, Zhang Tie waved his hand, causing all the three trays to fly to his side. Zhang Tie then waved his hand towards the three people, implying that they could leave here. After that, he picked the second King Kong fruit and ate it. Then, he sat down with crossed legs and started to digest it.

During the 17 hours, Zhang Tie only did one thing under the small tree——eating.

When his belly started to rumble, Zhang Tie would catch some food from aside. As long as his belly didn’t protest, he would continue to eat various of fruits on the tree despite being hungry.

…

“Castle Lord, you’ve got half an hour left. By then, the space force of Motian Realm will be imbalanced again and the portal of Castle of Black Iron accessing to the outside would be closed…”

Heller warned as Zhang Tie had just digested the last fruit of redemption from the gratitude of earthworms.

Zhang Tie took a look at the small tree. Besides two King Kong fruits, Zhang Tie had already eaten all the others. However, his belly started to rumble again.

After taking a look at the delicious food in the trays beside him, Zhang Tie spent 20 minutes in finishing them up as he finally became full. In the last 10 minutes, he picked 2 King Kong fruits at the same time and ate them. When the two fruits’ energy started to spread across his body, Zhang Tie left Castle of Black Iron in a split second and reappeared in the mountain cave at the bottom of the ocean.

King Kong fruit couldn’t be taken out of Castle of Black Iron; however, after eating it, he could digest the energy of the fruits outside Castle of Black Iron, in which way, Zhang Tie could save time in digesting them in Castle of Black Iron.

“Ah, I’ve not imagined that I wouldn’t even have time to eat two fruits. Thankfully, I’m smart…” Zhang Tie mocked himself in the cave. Closely after that, he sat down, legs crossed, and started to digest the last two King Kong fruits.

At this moment, it was pitch-dark at the bottom of the ocean at 00:45 in Motian Realm…

It took Zhang Tie almost 7 hours to completely digest all the energy of the two King Kong fruits in the cave.

Zhang Tie opened his eyes and let out a deep sigh before leaving the cave. At the bottom of the ocean, Zhang Tie swam towards the beach where Tideviewing Court was. After racing against time for one day, Zhang Tie finally became relaxed as he leisurely returned to Tideviewing Courtyard.

When he entered the waters which were about 1,000 m in depth, under the morning sunshine, Zhang Tie could see golden light on the sea level as everything at the bottom of the ocean became vigorous.

Various fish, oceanic organisms, colorful corals, floating seaweeds and the crystal sea water formed a beautiful picture at the bottom of the ocean.

…

A cyan-white crab with a thick shell as large as a bowl was slowly walking among the sands at the bottom of the sea over 2,000 m away from Tiderviewing Courtyard. It discovered a crevice between two coral reefs which was suitable for settling in. However, the crevice had been occupied by a 10 cm-long yellowish shrimp which was semi-transparent.

A mountain would never allow two tigers to stay. Similarly, a crevice would never allow a crab and a shrimp to stay. Of course, the crab and the shrimp started a fight.

The bigger crab was waving his two powerful pliers and intended to kill that shrimp. However, when the crab appraoched the shrimp, the shrimp moved as he bent his body and launched a lightning attack towards the crab’s shell by its strong forelimbs…

It was the most common scene in the ocean. It was vigorous at the bottom of the ocean; however, fish and the other oceanic organisms complied with their own survival laws. Fights between different species happened every once in a while at the bottom of the ocean.

However, when the shrimp hit the crab, Zhang Tie was swimming by them over 100 m above…

Although Zhang Tie felt it, he didn’t care about it at the beginning. However, after passing by 500-600 m, Zhang Tie suddenly stopped in the water!

‘The shrimp…’

Zhang Tie slightly frowned.

Zhang Tie instantly turned around and returned to the battlefield where the shrimp fought with the crab at the bottom of the ocean.

The shrimp had already returned to the crevice between the two coral reefs. After being hit by the shrimp, the crab became still in a split second as if the shrimp had just played a conjuration on it. When Zhang Tie was approaching them, he found the crab had already lost its balance in the flow. Meanwhile, its feet had already left the sands.

Zhang Tie picked the crab as he found it was already dead…

Zhang Tie was petrified at a stroke…
