Wang Lie glanced at the young man who had flipped over like a cheetah, marveling at how much this kid had changed.

Confidence!

That was Wang Lie's first impression. Chen Fusheng exuded a kind of conviction, which was no different from being reborn.

And the shaken-out silver net was shaped like a full moon, covering a ten-zhang radius of the river area in the distance, and quickly sank into the river.

However, the fishing net suddenly transmitted a terrifying strange force, and with a bang, Chen Fusheng was pulled back into the river.

"Not good!"

Liu Bai and the others were shocked. Just as Wang Lie was about to jump in, a large wave suddenly surged in the river!

Rumble!

In the Black River, Chen Fusheng's body burst out with a blazing light, and his limbs rotated violently, binding the thick rope around his waist layer by layer!

This scene was like a spirit snake erupting with a death roll, the movement was extremely loud, and the waves splashed on a large scale.

"Buzz!"

Mu Zhen's palms spewed out nine layers of blue light, forming a large number of silk threads that drilled into the river, wrapping Chen Fusheng's body.

As Mu Zhen's Qi Sea energy erupted, it was released from her palm, forcibly pulling Chen Fusheng out of the river.

"Pull me up quickly!" Chen Fusheng roared, clutching the rope tightly with both hands, his wet hair dancing wildly.

"Quick!"

Liu Bai and Wang Lie's Qi Seas erupted with energy one after another, and the three of them worked together to pull him into the boat.

"Are you crazy, kid!" Wang Lie roared like thunder in anger, binding his waist with a rope? If he was dragged away by the fish, he would surely die!

Liu Bai was also taken aback by Chen Fusheng's courage. This kid was a typical case of wanting money more than life.

However, the latter was sitting in the boat, still desperately pulling the thick rope, his face flushed red, his waist had been strangled with blood marks, and his Qi Sea energy was almost about to explode!

But his intuition told him that even if he exploded with all his strength, he would not be able to pull up the fishing net, as if he was in a tug-of-war with ten thousand people.

"Get up!"

Waiting for the four of them to work together to pull this broken fishing net, at least ten or so fish ran away during the period.

On the contrary, the broken net held one silver spirit fish after another, struggling violently, flashing moonlight in the black mist.

The treasure ship emitted a halo to suppress these silver fish, waiting for them to see the state of the fish clearly, they were all petrified in place.

The largest Silver Moon Spirit Fish weighed nine pounds, the smallest was about two or three pounds, a total of nine!

"This, this, a school of Silver Moon Spirit Fish!"

Liu Bai was numb. A full nine spirit fish, the most outrageous thing was this nine-pound Silver Moon Fish, which was a treasure of the Black River. If it was spread out, it would cause a sensation.

Spirit fish are bounded by ten pounds in weight, above ten pounds are considered middle-grade spirit fish, and above twenty pounds are considered top-grade spirit fish!

The difference between each grade is at least several times in efficacy, and the price is even more outrageous. Of course, let alone top-grade spirit fish, catching a middle-grade one can be bragged about for a lifetime.

Purely this nine-pound spirit fish, the price exceeds two thousand Star Stones, which is crucial for Other Shore Realm cultivation!

"We're rich, we're rich! Liu Bai, you son of a gun, if the Silver Silk Net was a Golden Silk Net, would it be in such tatters? We would have caught at least thirty of them just now!"

Wang Lie roared, the Silver Moon Spirit Fish swarm, a once-in-a-century event within the five-hundred-mile Black River, and they actually stumbled upon it!

What's infuriating is that about ten of them got away!

Liu Bai was grinning foolishly, Chen Fusheng took sixty percent, and they could each get one from the remainder.

Mu Zhen glanced at the marks on Chen Fusheng's waist and his bloodied hands, estimating Chen Fusheng's special physique? Of higher quality.

She was slightly taken aback when she saw the joy bursting from the young man's clear eyes.

A verdant jade bottle flew out from Mu Zhen's sleeve.

Droplets of silver liquid flowed from the bottle's mouth, evenly sprinkling onto Chen Fusheng's wounds, visibly stopping the bleeding and forming scabs.

"This is Star Essence Liquid, thank you, Senior Sister."

Chen Fusheng stood up to thank her, Star Essence Liquid is an essence liquid extracted from Star Stone matter by powerful Star Master, which can effectively help cultivation and recovery, also known as Spirit Pill Liquid.

"It's good that you reacted quickly, but your approach was a bit reckless, be careful in the future."

Even so, Mu Zhen's eyes still lit up slightly when she looked at him, it was rare for a beginner to have such courage.

"I also knew you were on the boat, otherwise, how would I dare to do this?" Chen Fusheng smiled, if he didn't have a full grasp of escaping, how would he dare to do so?

By binding his waist with a rope, he could quickly untie it with the flexibility of the Spirit Snake Diagram's body.

We? Mu Zhen's expression was strange, they had only known each other for a few days, yet he dared to entrust his life to them? Was he too naive?

"Don't do that again in the future, kid, what if someone kicked you off and sailed away, you'd have to go to Flood Dragon Grandpa to complain," Wang Lie said with lingering fear, burying his head in scolding.

Liu Bai nodded along, just feeling that something was wrong with those words.

"I definitely won't do this when teaming up with others in the future!"

These words were extremely pleasing to Mu Zhen and the others, but a heavy, unparalleled pressure suddenly spread from the distant river area.

"Roar!"

Along with an earth-shattering roar, layers of the river surface exploded, and boundless waves crashed towards the treasure ship.

"Something big is happening, let's go!"

Liu Bai saw a huge outline vaguely appearing in the distant river area, and dozens of demonic beasts were stirring up trouble.

"That is? The Inner Courtyard's Ebony Treasure Ship, the demonic beasts are fighting with the Ebony Treasure Ship!"

Mu Zhen's pupils shone with light as she watched, the Ebony Treasure Ship is the Inner Courtyard's top-grade treasure ship, enough to penetrate a thousand miles into the Black River and dominate one side!

The Ebony Treasure Ship also has a symbolic feature, this giant ship spews out boundless black clouds, obscuring half the sky, resembling an Ancient Zhou Dynasty savage beast rampaging through the Black River.

Strangely, the various demonic beasts frantically attacking the Ebony Treasure Ship, in Mu Zhen's mental judgment, were not too strong!

"Not too strong, yet attacking the Ebony Treasure Ship?"

Wang Lie didn't care so much, and said, "The Ebony Treasure Ship helped us lure away the demonic beasts, now is the perfect time to retreat, let's go!"

On the way back, Chen Fusheng looked back and saw the spectacle of large Silver Moon Spirit Fish soaring into the air in the vast black mist, especially appearing eerie in the black mist scene.

"My goodness, how massive is this school of fish? They must have come from the depths of the Black River. The ones Fusheng caught earlier were just a small detachment!"

Liu Bai exclaimed in shock, "Should we go back and seize this opportunity to make a big haul?"

"Do you have a fishing net? Do you? You don't even have a hair." Wang Lie's words made Liu Bai shiver.

"That's not right! The Ebony Treasure Ship isn't stopping to cast nets. It seems to be heading towards a specific goal, and those demon beasts aren't devouring the Silver Moon Spirit Fish either. This is very abnormal!" Mu Zhen was still analyzing.

"Could it be?"

Mu Zhen and the others looked at each other in unison, "Evolving Fish King?"

"What Fish King?"

Chen Fusheng laid his palm into the water, using the Spirit Snake Diagram to sense the fluctuations of thirty or so demon beasts, and even further away, there were incredibly powerful demon beasts approaching.

Also, he sensed the fluctuations of many Silver Moon Spirit Fish!

This was simply unbelievable, a super-large school of Silver Moon Spirit Fish. Could it be that the Ebony Treasure Ship drove them to the outer river area?

"Fish King, this thing is truly a legend."

Liu Bai said, "I remember last year, the Flood Dragon Ship set out and encountered a Fish King in the three thousand miles of the Black River, but they couldn't catch it!"

"A Fish King can contend with a Flood Dragon Ship?" Chen Fusheng was dumbfounded. He hadn't seen a Flood Dragon Ship, but he knew that Flood Dragon Ships were shaped from Flood Dragon skeletons, and only Inner Courtyard disciples could take a ship out of the river.

"To be precise, the Fish King is like a part of the Black River. Not only is it immensely powerful, but it can also mobilize the Black River fish to escort it, making it the king of fish!"

Just as Wang Lie said this, Mu Zhen added, "Since it's a super-large school of Silver Moon Spirit Fish, it means a Silver Moon Fish King is about to be born, and the process of evolving into a Fish King is too noisy, so it needs to be done in a safe area."

"It's not just that."

Liu Bai said, "The necessary condition for top-grade Silver Moon Spirit Fish to evolve is to devour the mysteries of the Great Sun at dawn, in order to leap through the dragon gate and transform into a Fish King!"

"Yin and Yang in harmony, water and fire intermingling."

Liu Bai exclaimed, "Legend has it that the Silver Moon Fish King can even cure the Cold Abyss Poison."

"You actually know about the Cold Abyss Poison?"

Mu Zhen looked at Liu Bai with surprise. Since the Ancient Zhou Dynasty passed, that place had become the number one forbidden area in the Abyss Realm. It was said that even Other Shore Realm Star Masters could be frozen to death there.

Even with Mu Zhen's status, she didn't know what happened in the Ancient Zhou Dynasty. That was a mysterious period of history, and it was also closely related to the Ancient Zhou Dynasty that once ruled the Abyss Realm.

It's just that the Zhou Dynasty has become historical dust.

Liu Bai was too embarrassed to say that his girlfriend told him, so he said, "Isn't this the number one strange poison in the Abyss Realm? I just heard about it."

"The number one strange poison in the Abyss Realm?" Chen Fusheng quickly asked, "Cold Abyss? Could it be Cold Poison?"

Seeing Mu Zhen nod, Chen Fusheng's fist clenched instantly inside his sleeve.

Even the number one strange poison can be cured, wouldn't his grandfather's Cold Poison be easily resolved?

"These evil creatures, dare to compete with me for the Silver Moon Fish King!"

Far away on the three-story Ebony Treasure Ship, a dozen Other Shore Realm Star Masters stood proudly. The silver-robed youth at the head had a face like a knife, and said coldly, "Kill all these demon beasts before dawn!"

"Senior Brother, it's about an hour before dawn now. Judging from the situation we're facing, no formidable demon beasts are coming to compete with us."

A slender and graceful young girl chuckled. She wore a yellow, off-the-shoulder short dress, and a black and gold pearl necklace adorned her long neck, accentuating her fair and delicate skin.

"That's natural. Junior Sister, you have good fortune. If you hadn't gone to the Black River to carry out a mission, and I happened to help, and we happened to encounter a school of Silver Moon Spirit Fish, and then happened to witness a Spirit Fish evolving, haha, we chased it for a full five hundred miles! This beast is probably exhausted already!"

The silver-robed youth laughed heartily, "Once we successfully capture the Silver Moon Fish King, I will implore my grandfather to send you to the Star Palace for three months of secluded cultivation."

"Senior Brother's kindness, Junior Sister will never forget." Huang Li was charming and touching. Ling Yao's grandfather was a high-ranking Star Official in the Star Palace, holding a high position and great power, with the terrifying power of life and death.

"Senior Brother Ling Yao, we've located the position of the top-grade Spirit Fish!"

"Very good, follow it with all your strength, but don't capture it yet. Wait until dawn when it evolves to make your move!"

Ling Yao laughed to the sky, inwardly marveling that although Huang Li was of humble origin, her luck was extraordinary.
