Fish Monster

Boats were linked together, and hundreds of torches illuminated the night.

The black rain streaks fell into the shimmering orange waves.

In the waters enclosed by boats lined up side by side, several Sheepskin Raft floated and spun around, while eight Galloping Horse Martial Master, holding short spears, dripped cold sweat mixed with Rain Water from their chins.

Yellowish, turbid water churned with red foam, occasionally bubbling up a few pieces of tattered clothing.

"Damn beast!"

"Where did this strange fish come from!"

The Galloping Horse Martial Master cursed and gasped for breath, their eyes fixed intently on the water, not daring to look away for even a moment.

Born near the Black Water River and the Jiang Huai Great Marsh, I've seen Water Beast before, but this is the first time I've seen Fish Monster this ferocious and powerful.

It is two zhang long, with black scales on its back and rough, hard skin. Its head accounts for one-third of its body size and is covered with iron-colored plate armor that extends backward to cover the center of its body. Its first impression is that it is heavy and dull.

Indeed, the strange fish's plate armor is practically a natural shield!

The short spears were thrown up but did not achieve any results, and its silvery-white belly, the only part not covered by hard armor, was well protected.

Moreover, the strange fish's jagged, interlocking teeth are even more exaggerated!

The galloping Galloping Horse Martial Master, who was initially ambushed, offered no resistance and was bitten in two by the Fish Monster! This was the first time in two days of rescue efforts that such a significant loss had occurred! This Fish Monster had almost no weaknesses except for its slightly slower speed! As a result, the Galloping Horse Martial Master on the Sheepskin Raft was at a loss and was covered in cold sweat.

"This stalemate can't go on..."

Hua Zhu Magistrate Yu Dayi palms were sweating, stood on the bow of the boat.

The strange fish's aura is at the peak of the Spirit Monster realm, corresponding to the Galloping Horse Extreme Realm. Of the eight Martial Master, only two are at the Galloping Horse Middle Realm Martial Master have practiced underwater Dharma Gate. If they were to enter the water, they would be no match for each other in a two-on-one fight.

Those who hadn't cultivated were even more helpless. On the Sheepskin Raft, they could still coordinate and restrain the Fish Monster, but once in the water, they fought alone and were more likely to expose weaknesses, allowing the monster fish to defeat them one by one.

As a second-level Martial Master, Yu Dayi's only task was to have his men light torches to illuminate the water and provide visibility.

"Senior Ling, be careful, it's coming!"

Without the magistrate's reminder, Ling Shixiong had already spotted the dark shadow underwater. He leaped into the water, and the Fish Monster pushed aside the Sheepskin Raft and rushed out of the water.

The muddy water cascaded down the streamlined body of the Fish Monster, splashing up large amounts of white foam as it fell into the water.

Whether it Ling Shixiong or any other Martial Master, they all took this opportunity to throw short spears at the fish's belly, creating a cacophony of whistling sounds.

Ling Shixiong stepped onto the hull of the large boat and landed on another Sheepskin Raft, his eyes filled with hope.

Unexpectedly, the Fish Monster reacted quickly, turning its body sharply in mid-air to avoid a fatal blow, and then using its back plates and scales to catch the short spear.

Sparks flew as the spearhead spun and embedded itself in the hull, falling into the raging waves, while the spear shaft shattered into countless splinters.

Ling Shixiong sank to the bottom.

The Fish Monster staggered, whipping its tail, and was about to plunge into the water when an arrow flashing with an arc of light crossed the encirclement, pierced through the flying wood chips and darkness, and struck the Fish Monster's belly with a deafening thunderclap.

Pfft!

The arrow pierced his abdomen, creating a bloody hole the size of a human head, from which a stench of blood surged and spread.

The Fish Monster was struck as if by lightning, its body stiffening as it crashed into the water, splashing up a huge wave.

Eight Sheepskin Raft rose and fell in a continuous stream, swirling and crashing into the large ship, only to be siphoned back.

The sudden arrow not only severely injured the Fish Monster, but also shocked everyone.

Ling Shixiong turned his head and looked, and saw a faint long streak left in the air, which took a long time to dissipate.

Where did this archery master come from? The Fish Monster fell into the Hongze, suffering excruciating abdominal pain. The murky water poured into its wounds, contaminating its organs. It had no desire to fight and turned to leave.

"Round Head! Scarhead!"

At a command, a dark figure reappeared in the raging torrent.

The ten water lines were taut like harp strings, but they were not of the same kind as the Fish Monster; their shapes were much smoother.

"River Dolphin!"

Yu Dayi, perched on the bow of the boat, easily recognized the iconic Water Beast of the River Conservancy Office.

Two River Porpoise King led eight River Dolphin to scatter and surround the Fish Monster, working together to intertwine like a large net.

Although the River Dolphin's defense and attack were no match for the Fish Monster, it successfully restricted the Fish Monster's movements by charging back and forth with its own agility.

No matter which direction it tries to break through, it will be struck by the River Dolphin and will not be able to escape.

The Fish Monster struggled on both sides, its internal organs shaking violently. Unable to bear it any longer, it caught sight of Liang Qu on a boat not far away and knew that he was the one who was truly giving orders. It immediately turned around and charged towards Liang Qu.

The River Dolphin tried to stop them, but Liang Qu instead made River Dolphin release the Fish Monster.

At the Round Head man's command, the River Dolphin obeyed without question, allowing the Fish Monster to escape the encirclement.

The Fish Monster was overjoyed. Without the River Dolphin hindering it, it sped up again, drawing a straight line in the water.

The eight Martial Master on the Sheepskin Raft were shocked. They had thought that the expert's deployment of the River Dolphin would restrain the Fish Monster and slowly wear it down, but unexpectedly, something unexpected happened.

The Martial Master fought the Fish Monster Fish Monster for a long time, and they knew all too well how powerful it was. They couldn't let it get close!

"Careful!"

"Run!"

"Avoid direct confrontation!"

The water churned and Lu Xinqing's legs went weak. He had no Golden Eye and the firelight was too bright to see what was happening inside the encirclement. He only knew that Liang Qu had fired an arrow, but his intuition told him that the creature underwater was even more terrifying! He had to escape! Lu Xinqing looked at Liang Qu in fear.

The bow of the ship.

Liang Qu held his long spear at an angle, remaining completely still.

no.

People should listen to advice! I told you to run! Suddenly, the water burst open, and a sound like tearing silk filled the air. A huge, dark shadow leaped out of the water and pounced on the boat.

Time seemed to stand still.

Lu Xinqing looked up.

Its terrifying appearance, filled with primal power and wildness, and its towering presence, carried with it a wave of apocalyptic fear.

In an instant, Lu Xinqing broke down in tears, tears streaming down his face as countless memories flooded back.

He thought of the two sisters, then of the old woman with her face covered in thick powder, and then of his dead brother...

"How dare you!"

A loud shout abruptly interrupted the sorrowful mood.

Lu Xinqing seemed to be forcing down a burp, the burp stretching open his trachea and forcing the air down.

His eyes widened, hot tears streamed down his face, and a glimmer of light appeared in his pupils.

The spear traced an arc, bringing with it a glimmer of light like a crescent moon.

A dragon's roar arose from the surging waves, Black Gold spear transformed into Azure Dragon, leaping straight into the Fish Monster's armor and disappearing into its brain.

Boom! The entire boat suddenly sank, creating towering waves.

Liang Qu unleashed his power, Gang Wind swept along the spear blade like a tornado, instantly shredding the Fish Monster's brain to shreds.

With Fubo tap and shake, you can easily exit.

The Fish Monster charged forward without slowing down, passing right over the boat.

"Boom!"

The strange fish clung tightly to its fins, plunged into the water, and swam for dozens of meters before suddenly flipping its belly up and sinking to the bottom.

Splash!

The rain intensified.

The water splashed up by the Fish Monster splattered all over Lu Xinqing's face. He wiped it off haphazardly, his face covered in a foul stench and mixed with unknown, dirty blood.

The fleet's Martial Master were deeply shaken.

They remained locked in a stalemate for a long time, helpless against the strange fish.

A single glance.

"Resolved?" The people in the procession cheered, thanking the unknown powerful figure.

Yu Dayi gazed at the distant view, then relaxed his grip on the edge of the boat.

The River Dolphin turned around, pulled the Fish Monster's corpse out of the water, and carried it to the side of the boat.

Liang Qu stared at the Fish Monster's corpse, his sense of déjà vu growing stronger.

"Dunkleosteus?"
