Fishing for a Flood Dragon

"So this is Purple Python Crossing River!"

Chen Fusheng felt as if he had suddenly become a powerful figure capable of summoning wind and rain, swallowing the rivers in all directions, commanding shrimp soldiers and crab generals, omnipotent.

A spirit snake needs to cultivate for a thousand years to transform into a purple python, and with the enhancement of the Purple Python Diagram, its detection ability in the Black River surpasses that of the Spirit Snake Diagram by dozens of times.

From this, he understood the profound meaning of the Purple Python Crossing River Diagram, which requires tempering the body in a place where tsunamis connect with the sky, using monstrous waves.

But what is the prerequisite for tempering? It requires forging a sufficiently strong body to withstand the pounding of the monstrous waves, thereby exerting force across the river and unleashing earth-shattering attack power.

Although a python is not as capable as a flood dragon in overturning rivers and seas, its extreme explosive power can be understood as a hegemon in the water, capable of overturning even top-grade spirit fish with a single flip.

It's a pity that he spent three hundred Star Stones to activate the Purple Python Diagram, but he doesn't have the corresponding physical cultivation... it only enhances his perception to search for top-grade treasure fish.

Even the appearance of the river area within a dozen miles is like looking at the lines on his palm... fish in the stream, crabs molting, old clams breathing, and aquatic plants respiring.

Huh? Weapons buried in the mud, fragments of treasure ships, remains of demon beasts...

Chen Fusheng suddenly sensed on the river surface a boat with a man and woman intertwined, engaging in intense dragon-phoenix play, swallowing dragons and overturning seas, fighting fiercely.

Chen Fusheng blushed and looked down at his crotch, finally realizing something.

"Still no trace of spirit fish..."

Chen Fusheng exited the Purple Python Diagram and quickly changed locations.

Half an hour passed, and he appeared in another river area, using the Purple Python Diagram to sense this area.

Time passed bit by bit.

After activating the Purple Python Diagram five times in a row, Chen Fusheng began to panic. Nothing!

The Purple Python Diagram had dimmed a lot, which made his heart ache and he resolutely absorbed Star Stone energy to continue replenishing it.

Having already invested so many resources, how could he be content with just harvesting some riverbed treasures!

As a day and night passed, Chen Fusheng's Star Stones were visibly running out, and still nothing!

Looking at the remaining hundred Star Stones, Chen Fusheng simply hardened his heart.

"Life and death are not determined by heaven, wealth and honor are sought in danger!"

He charged all the Star Stones into the Purple Python Diagram, then crossed the Black River and rushed out of the hundred-mile area.

"This is the last time, come out, little baby!"

Chen Fusheng sat cross-legged on a trembling old turtle, closed his eyes, and activated the Purple Python Diagram. His perception surged wildly, like a raging wave sweeping across the river in all directions.

Chen Fusheng probed every inch of the area, sweeping repeatedly, again and again, but still nothing!

He fell silent and slapped himself hard, regretting his insatiable greed.

"This lesson is too profound."

Just as Chen Fusheng was about to give up completely, his heart trembled, and he captured a faint energy fluctuation, similar to the life signs of a Silver Moon Fish!

"Splash!"

Chen Fusheng quickly approached the source area, because the river was even darker at night. As for the muddy sand area he had locked onto, there was a faint starlight flickering.

Chen Fusheng widened his eyes, his body concealed in the water plants, pressing down on an old river mussel blowing bubbles, and watched a dark river cave.

Of course, it looked very hidden, the water plants almost completely covering it, with fish coming and going at the deep entrance, the Purple Python Diagram unable to detect the situation inside.

Chen Fusheng wriggled forward in the silt like a spirit snake, his body perfectly covered by the Azure Snake Treasure Garment, passing through layers of water plants, swimming towards the dark river cave.

The interior was a different world, a natural cave made of silver-gray river pebbles, these stones having a special, thick sense of power.

Chen Fusheng was shocked, an underwater mineral vein?

The water cave was more like an enlarged ant nest, densely packed and easy to get lost in. He was now in the Spirit Snake Diagram state, sensing faint vital signs.

"It should be it, I didn't expect it to have a nest in the outer river area!"

Chen Fusheng approached with extreme caution, swimming through one tunnel after another, about to approach the target, with a flood-like, ferocious wave rushing towards him!

Chen Fusheng grabbed the rock wall with both hands, poked his head out and peered inside.

Like the moon in the water, it gave him a visual shock, mainly because this fish was too big, comparable to his physique, its silver-white scales glowing with a golden halo, incomparably gorgeous.

The Spirit Fish had more than a dozen wounds that penetrated deep into its bones, large patches of scales missing, and a pair of pearl-like, dazzling fish eyes were indifferent and ruthless, currently feeding.

Chen Fusheng was a little suffocated, the Spirit Fish was gnawing on a Silver Moon Spirit Fish, extracting its essence to heal its injuries.

"This big guy is about to evolve into a Silver Moon Fish King, actually feeding on its own kind..."

Chen Fusheng suppressed the tension in his heart, waiting quietly in an internal breathing state, also grateful that the big guy's deterrence kept other fish from approaching.

As time passed, the Silver Moon Fish King closed its eyes, lying prone on the river pebbles, its gills absorbing energy from the river, entering a cultivation state.

Chen Fusheng's fist tightened, slowly drawing out the Retractable Fish Spear he carried on his back, his Qi and blood quietly gathering in his palm.

Waiting for the Spirit Fish to enter deep cultivation—at this moment!

Chen Fusheng lightning-like hurled the fish spear, piercing through layers of water, about to penetrate the fish's brain, the Spirit Fish was awakened, wagging its tail to dodge.

"Puchi!"

Even though the Spirit Fish avoided the fatal attack, a large piece of flesh was still torn from its head, the fish spear tearing its lips and teeth!

"Rumble!"

The Silver Moon Fish King was frightened, rushing out of the water cave in a flash, and at the moment of turning, Chen Fusheng grinned and rushed out.

His arms were like spirit snakes, twisting into twists, wrapped around the wound on the fish's waist, of course, there was a shocking feeling, as if he was about to be crushed to pieces.

"Bang bang bang..."

The Spirit Fish resisted violently, rushing out of the water cave, dragging Chen Fusheng and frantically crossing the water.

Chen Fusheng almost cracked, the injured Spirit Fish's explosive power was truly amazing, and the impact of the river water had a terrifying tearing force. If it weren't for the Azure Snake Treasure Garment, he would have been seriously injured.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Chen Fusheng's Qi Sea energy erupted, the large tendons in his arms fully bulging, his fingers suddenly arched, like tiger claws, fiercely inserted into the wound in its skin.

The Silver Moon Spirit Fish let out a painful sound, this damned, evil human!

He crossed even more frantically, thrashing his tail, stirring up large patches of water from the riverbed, startling the men and women handling affairs in the distance, who hurriedly pulled up their pants and ran.

Whoosh!

The superb Spirit Fish charged towards the depths of the Black River like an angry dragon. Chen Fusheng's eyes revealed a hint of madness as he stubbornly refused to let go, embracing it and continuously exerting force in the water.

The Spirit Fish, frightened, repeatedly slammed into the reefs in the river, trying to smash this damned human into mincemeat!

Bang bang bang...

After repeated impacts, even the Azure Snake Treasure Garment was torn in places. Chen Fusheng was covered in injuries and truly felt like he couldn't hold on any longer, but in the midst of his limit breaking, his heart throbbed incessantly, with vital life essence constantly emerging to replenish his physique!

This was the benefit of having a strong heart; at critical moments, it could release life essence. If he could continuously strengthen his heart, he could even create treasure blood to sustain battles!

"You can't escape!"

Chen Fusheng's pupils were intimidating as he sensed the Spirit Fish reaching its peak and then declining, its entire body bleeding from countless wounds.

Chen Fusheng was equally weak, his heartbeat becoming feeble. Just as he was about to activate the Evil Tiger Diagram to use energy to restore his muscles and bones and take down the Spirit Fish in one fell swoop, a ghostly figure suddenly rushed towards him.

"What the hell?"

Before Chen Fusheng could even see the newcomer's face clearly, the ghostly figure approached, and a large hand landed on his neck.

Chen Fusheng felt suffocated, unable to move even a finger, sensing a fatal crisis where his life was entrusted to the other's hands.

"It's over..."

Just as this thought emerged in Chen Fusheng's mind, he felt the world spin, and with a thud, he landed on a bamboo raft on the river surface.

Chen Fusheng was in so much pain that he couldn't even get up to resist. He wasn't injured by the ghostly figure, but rather, his physical strength had been overdrawn from the previous fight with the Spirit Fish in the water.

"That person didn't attack me in the water, does that mean I can still live?"

Chen Fusheng's heart raced, his mood extremely bad. He had finally caught the Spirit Fish, but this sudden event caught him off guard.

He raised his eyes and looked at the superb Spirit Fish lying beside him, already half-dead.

Then, his gaze turned to an old man with a thin face in front of him.

The old man had white hair and a youthful face, with skin like an infant. He wore a green Daoist robe and sat cross-legged on the bamboo raft, fishing.

The ghostly shadow stood like a guardian behind the old man, its face unclear, seemingly merging with the night, staring with an aura like a terrifying vortex.

Chen Fusheng was horrified; this person was so terrifying.

On the emerald green bamboo raft, there was also a woman in a snow-white gauze dress, sitting on the raft, having taken off her shoes and socks, her beautiful legs playing with the river water, her snow-white jade feet crystal clear, painted with bright red nail polish, bringing a criminal-like desire.

She was tilting her head, looking at the superb Spirit Fish that had been caught with a cold expression.

The white-skirted woman's appearance surpassed even Mu Zhen's, like a fairy descending from the moon, possessing a spiritual and beautiful temperament that transcended the ordinary, her skin as moist and delicate as condensed jade.

Chen Fusheng judged that they were outsiders, otherwise, with the woman's beauty, she would have already been famous throughout the Star Gazing Manor, while Mu Zhen was one of the Star Gazing Manor's top ten beauties.

"It's a pity, although this superb Spirit Fish has enough cultivation, it hasn't evolved into a Silver Moon Fish King yet, otherwise it would have a miraculous effect on Grandpa's Cold Abyss Poison."

The white-skirted woman's words had an even greater impact on Chen Fusheng. This senior was poisoned by the number one poison?

Even from her words, it seemed that she didn't care about the superb Spirit Fish at all?

This made Chen Fusheng breathe a sigh of relief. Such a powerful lineup shouldn't make things too difficult for a small character like him, right?

The thin old man remained silent, quietly fishing with his eyes closed.

"My lord, the fishing line is moving again," the ghost-like shadow reminded.

"Forget it!"

The old man pulled the purple-gold fishing rod, and as large splashes of water rose, a tri-colored old turtle the size of a millstone emerged from the water.

"Tri-colored Multi-Treasure Turtle..."

Chen Fusheng's eyelids twitched wildly. A five-colored Multi-Treasure Turtle was considered top-grade, and a three-colored one was comparable to a mid-grade Spirit Fish, but this one was a bit too big!

As for the legendary five-colored Multi-Treasure Turtle, it was a rare treasure of the Black River, and its shell could be used to make five elements implements, the value of which was unimaginable!

The white-skirted woman said regretfully, "A branch of the Abyss Sea, ten thousand miles of the Black River, there should be a Flood Dragon in charge here, but unfortunately, the Dragon Seeking Bait didn't lure it out."
