Chapter 787: Fishing Trip ( 2 )
As the fireballs hit the surface of the frozen lake, it exploded instantly. Even when the fire met icy water, it continued to burn fiercely.
Looking at the blue fire, Shang Yuanling’s eyes flashed with surprise. Fire-type abilities were common, but blue fire was rare. She never expected him to possess blue fire.
While Cheng Yue was busy melting the ice, Shang Yuanling closed her eyes and circulated her energy. Soon, countless images flashed through her mind, some blurred, others clear.
She focused on the blurred images, trying to see them more clearly. A few minutes later, she opened her eyes and let out a long sigh. Her back was drenched in sweat, and her head throbbed with pain.
Every time she tried to use her clairvoyance ability on people with a higher level than hers, she consumed far more mental power. Her clairvoyance was only level three. From this alone, she knew that both Cheng Rui and Cheng Yue were at least level-four ability-users.
Despite discovering that they had lied to her, Shang Yuanling didn’t feel angry. Instead, she appreciated them more. In their current situation, keeping trump cards was wise. Pretending to be a pig to devour the tiger was a smart move.
After the area of 20 meters of ice had melted, Cheng Rui and Cheng Yue took out three fishing rods and a basket of raw mutant meat.
Cheng Yue handed a fishing rod to her and said, "Time to fish."
Looking at the fishing rod in her hand, Shang Yuanling was stunned. She thought that they would need to fight the mutant fish and never expected them to think of fishing.
Seeing that she didn’t move, Cheng Rui waved at her and said, "Sister, come here. I made a chair for you. Although the metal surface is hard, it’s better than sitting on snow."
After a moment of hesitation, Shang Yuanling walked over, took her seat, and asked, "So, you plan to fish the mutant fish?"
"Well, the big boss only appeared after the red moon rose. In order not to waste time, we could only fish the smaller fish."
When she heard this, she found his words made sense. So, the three of them started to fish. The hunting trip turned into a fishing trip without her realizing it.
Perhaps the mutant fish was hungry, because the bait was taken just after a few minutes. The one who hit the strike was Cheng Yue.
She thought that it would take some time for him to catch the mutant fish. Unexpectedly, he didn’t follow the rules. As soon as the hook was bitten, he pulled the rod with a swift, sharp movement.
SPLASH!
The next moment, a three-meter-long mutant fish was pulled out of the water. Before the mutant fish had time to retaliate, a giant stone hand appeared suddenly.
SLAP!
With one slap, the mutant fish was knocked out and fell to the ground, unconscious.
Everything happened in less than 10 seconds. Shang Yuanling was stunned. She already knew that they would complete this mission and catch more than 50 mutant fish, but she never expected them to use such a crude method.
Cheng Yue didn’t know what she was thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn’t care. After he removed the hook and the bait stuck in the mutant fish’s teeth, he pulled out a dagger and stabbed it in the fish’s head.
With a swift movement, he removed the mutant fish’s crystal core and returned to his spot to continue fishing.
Just after he sat down, Cheng Rui’s bait was also bitten. He used the same method as his brother to pull out the fish. But instead of using a rock hand to slap the fish unconscious, he snapped his finger.
The next second, a lightning bolt hit the mutant fish.
Crack! Boom!
The mutant fish was killed instantly. He caught the fish with his bare hand and removed the hook. Afterward, he took out the crystal core and threw the fish to the back.
Judging by their movements, it was clear that they often did this. While she was lost in her thoughts, Shang Yuanling felt a strong force pulling at her fishing rod.
Despite it being her first time fishing for mutant fish, she had seen the Cheng brothers’ method. So, following them, she used a strong force to pull out the fish. But before she could hit the fish, a lightning bolt and a rock hand had already killed the fish.
ZAP! SLAP!
The pitiful mutant fish lay on the cold, hard ground, unmoving.
"Sister, go get your crystal core."
With Cheng Rui’s reminder, she regained her composure. The three of them spent several hours fishing like this. When the sun finally set on the western horizon, they had caught more than 60 mutant fish.
Noticing the red moon, Cheng Yue packed away their fishing rods and bait and tied all the mutant fish with ropes. Afterward, he stored the fishing rods and bait in the car. As for the mutant fish, they were left there to be frozen.
Just after he finished, a large ripple appeared on the lake’s surface. They had only melted an area of 100 meters, so they could only see the ripples when the giant mutant fish was near their location.
Seeing this, Cheng Rui said excitedly, "It’s here!"
The moment his words fell, a massive shadow leaped out of the water. Under the red moonlight, its blackish-red scales glistened eerily. The fish was at least 20 meters long and 4 meters wide. Its tail was sharp and gleamed coldly.
Shang Yuanling was not surprised when she saw the fish. She had seen the image of this fish being killed by them.
Cheng Rui and Cheng Yue glanced at her. Seeing how calm she was, the two of them smiled with satisfaction. With tacit understanding, the two of them launched an attack together.
As for Shang Yuanling, she stood by the lakeside to observe their combat style. After a while, she roughly understood their style.
She pulled out her whip made of mutant shark skin. She spent 10,000 points to buy this weapon. With a flick of her hand, the whip flew toward the mutant fish at high speed.
Crack! Twack!
