The Fish Demon Was Wounded, and Came to Scout at Night (1/5)
If it were someone who didn't know, or if Xu Changqing were alone.
Seeing such a big fish tail, you'd definitely be eager to pull the hook.
But if you do that, you'll fall into the trap of the Fish Demon in the water.
After all, it has tremendous strength in water.
Last time, if it weren't for Zhao Ziyue, who was at the Foundation Establishment Realm, helping him, Hu Bugui would have certainly died.
Now, looking at the enormous fish tail that was faintly visible, all three remained very calm.
Hu Bugui gritted his teeth and said, "Let's see how long you can keep up this act!"
After a while, the other fishing line tied to the Big-Leaf Grass also started to sway.
At this moment, both fishing lines and both hooks reacted.
Now, everyone was conflicted.
Is it Fish Demon?
Or is it Dragonfish?
Is it arrogant or not?
The three quickly exchanged glances.
Xu Changqing couldn't help but ask, "Should we try a second fishing line?"
"This..." Zhao Ziyue and Hu Bugui a glance upon hearing this, somewhat hesitant.
Seeing that neither of them knew what to do, Xu Changqing raised an eyebrow. "To be honest, this dragging on isn't going to work. Let's just take action."
Hu Bugui was taken aback. "Old Xu, what do you want?"
Xu Changqing said in a deep voice, "Isn't the Fish Demon trying to scheme against us? Then let's deliberately pull the fishing hook, and when it thinks it's about to succeed, we'll suddenly attack!"
"I feel a bit..." Zhao Ziyue was reluctant to take the risk.
Based on his many years of fishing experience.
If you fail once, it's unlikely you'll succeed again.
Moreover, those who come here to fish may encounter even more dangerous attacks.
That Fish Demon will definitely hold a grudge.
However, Hu Bugui said fiercely, "I think Lao Xu is right. We can't just sit here and wait."
What if a Dragonfish actually takes the bait? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?
Besides, I also want revenge!
It was clear that both Xu Changqing and Hu Bugui said the same thing.
After thinking it over, Zhao Ziyue finally nodded.
After all, they are a team, essentially a unified whole.
Xu Changqing said earnestly, "Once my Big-Leaf Grass starts to rotate, it will generate extremely strong power."
In this way, the Fish Demon in the water will mistakenly think that someone is pulling on the fishing hook.
We'll seize the opportunity and take action when the time is right.
Even if we don't kill it, just getting injured is still avenging Lao Hu.
Zhao Ziyue and Hu Bugui immediately nodded.
Next, Xu Changqing held the Big-Leaf Grass above his head.
Infuse it with your own Wood Spiritual Power.
It immediately started spinning clockwise.
It started slowly, but then got faster and faster.
From four leaves, it gradually became one.
At first, the Fish Demon underwater thought that the fisherman had finally reacted.
Unexpectedly, the "reaction" this time was so strong.
With a soft "pfft".
It was also brought to the surface of the water.
Xu Changqing and the other two had been watching closely, and when they saw the man's face, their expressions all changed slightly.
The Fish Demon had a rather ferocious appearance.
It not only has human-like facial features.
The eye is triangular.
A sinister glint was hidden in his eyes.
The lips are very thin, and all the teeth inside are thin and sharp.
Its body is quite large; the part that is visible above the water is two to three meters long.
From top to bottom, except for the face, the entire body was covered with a layer of dark fish scales.
Combined with the slightly greenish pool water and the dim environment.
It was incredibly eerie and terrifying.
"Ha?"
The Fish Demon also saw Xu Changqing and his two companions.
They were taken aback when they saw that the fish hooks weren't being pulled.
"Do it!"
Xu Changqing called out.
Immediately, the three of them unleashed their respective attacks.
Hu Bugui raised his hand and tossed a piece of iron into the air.
Then he snapped his fingers with his right hand, and with a "snap" sound.
Suddenly, orange flames ignited on the surface of the iron block.
Soon, the huge block of iron melted into dozens of tiny, sharp iron needles.
It was burning.
It shot towards the Fish Demon.
This time, Hu Bugui was determined to avenge the previous incident.
Zhao Ziyue then activated the Water Spiritual Power in his dantian, creating an invisible water wall that directly blocked the water flow near the Fish Demon, making it unable to move, like a cage.
Xu Changqing held Big-Leaf Grass in his left hand, and a Spirit Mark with the character "wood" appeared in his right palm.
The weed seeds stored inside were scattered out.
As they got closer to the Fish Demon, the seeds transformed into poisonous plants with sharp thorns.
"?"
Before the Fish Demon could react, the attack had already struck its face.
Tsk~
Sizzle~
Instantly, its massive body began to tremble uncontrollably.
His appearance, in particular, received special attention from Hu Bugui.
His face was instantly disfigured, his features were distorted.
It looks even more ferocious.
The Fish Demon was furious and bared its teeth at the three people above.
Originally, it intended to lure Xu Changqing into a trap and drag him into the water.
Unexpectedly, they were the ones who fell into the trap first, and were even attacked.
In his anger, he intended to dive into the water to hide temporarily.
As a result, they encountered resistance.
The surrounding water seemed to have become a cage.
The entire body was trapped inside.
At this moment, Xu Changqing's Poison Thorn Grass also landed around and on the Fish Demon.
Although it lacks accuracy.
But its advantage lies in its large quantity.
It covers a wider area and a larger range.
Moreover, Xu Changqing can control it from a distance.
Therefore, any Poison Thorn Grass near the Fish Demon frantically burrowed into the gaps in the black fish scales, as if trying to take root in the flesh and blood.
"Hiss!"
The Fish Demon writhed in pain.
In water, its strength increases many times over.
Even if the water supply is cut off, it should not be underestimated.
Therefore, after withstanding several attacks from Xu Changqing and Hu Bugui, it suddenly leaped up.
Amidst the "splashing" sound of water breaking.
The Fish Demon's enormous body came into view of the three.
The overall length is at least five meters.
It was as if a black catfish had come to life.
However, Xu Changqing keenly noticed this.
The other's tail appeared to have been scorched by something.
The fish scales were all cracked and dry, and the flesh was charred.
Yes, that's right.
It's just cracked and burnt.
Even in the extremely cold water of the pool, it remained in this injured state.
Then, the Fish Demon fell heavily into the water.
This time, however, it wasn't within the area to be stopped; instead, it landed on the other side.
Clap clap clap!
The fishing line on the Big-Leaf Grass couldn't withstand the weight and snapped instantly.
Whoosh~
Whoosh~
Waves churned on the water's surface, and the previous calm was gone.
Seeing this, Zhao Ziyue said with great regret, "It seems we won't be able to catch the Dragonfish."
Hu Bugui was very unwilling. "If I reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, I can cause even greater damage."
Xu Changqing thought to himself, "This Fish Demon doesn't seem... very powerful?"
If all three of them were at the Foundation Establishment Realm, they might be able to severely injure it, or even kill it.
However, Zhao Ziyue was right.
Now that it's turned out like this, even if there were any Dragonfish that were attracted just now, they've been scared away.
Therefore, the three of them simply packed their things and quickly left.
Night fell quickly.
The already dimly lit Black Dragon Pool was now even darker.
The eerie green light made the atmosphere particularly sinister.
At this moment, Xu Changqing, who had originally left, returned to Black Dragon Pool alone.
With Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue around, he couldn't go all out.
Now that I'm alone, I naturally have no worries.
Therefore, one can see the pool water has returned to calm.
Xu Changqing's heart stirred, and he summoned the [Demonwood Water-Evasion Boat]!!!
