Chapter 311: Fish Monster

Boats connected, hundreds of torches illuminated the night.

Black rain lines stretched, falling into the orange light surging waves.

In the water area surrounded by boats, several sheepskin rafts floated and spun, eight Galloping Horse martial artists held short spears, cold sweat mixed with rainwater dripping from their chins.

Red foam surged on the yellow turbid water flow, occasionally tossing up a few pieces of residual clothing.

"Damn beast!"

"Where did this monster fish come from!"

The Galloping Horse martial artists cursed, panting, their eyes not daring to shift in the slightest, all staring dead at underwater.

Born near the Black Water River and the Jianghuai Great Marsh, it wasn't that they hadn't seen water beasts, but this was the first time they had seen a fish monster so fierce and powerful.

Two zhang long, back covered in black scales, skin rough and hard, the entire head proportion occupying one-third of the whole body, covered with iron-colored plate armor, extending backward to cover the center of the body, giving people the first impression of being heavy and dull.

The facts were indeed so; the fish monster's plate armor was simply a natural shield!

Short spears thrown on it couldn't cause any results, and the silver-white belly without hard armor coverage was protected very well by it.

Not only that, the fish monster's interlocking craggy sharp teeth were even more exaggerated!

The Galloping Horse martial artist who was ambushed at the beginning had no resistance and was bitten in two by the fish monster!

In two days of rescue, this was the first time such a major loss had occurred!

This was a fish monster that, except for being slightly slow in speed, had almost no weaknesses!

So much so that the Galloping Horse martial artists on the sheepskin rafts were at a loss, cold sweat dripping.

"Stalemate is not a way..."

Huazhu Magistrate Yu Dayi on the bow of the boat had sweat on his palms.

The monster fish's aura was at the peak of spirit monsters, corresponding to the ultimate Galloping Horse realm; eight martial artists, only two Galloping Horse mid-level martial artists had practiced underwater techniques, and two-on-one in the water was definitely not a match.

Others who hadn't practiced were even more helpless; they could still turn and cooperate with each other on the sheepskin rafts to contain the fish monster, but entering the water to fight alone made it easy to reveal flaws and be broken by the monster fish one by one.

Yu Dayi, as a two-aperture martial artist, could only do his best to let his subordinates light torches, illuminate the water area, and provide vision.

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

Without the magistrate's reminder, Ling Shixiong had already discovered the black shadow underwater; he jumped, and the fish monster pushed open the sheepskin raft and rushed out of the water.

Turbid water poured down along the fish monster's streamlined body, falling into the water and splashing a lot of white foam.

Whether it was Ling Shixiong or other martial artists, they all took this opportunity to throw short spears at the fish belly, and the sound of breaking through the air rang out in one piece.

Ling Shixiong stepped on the boat body and landed on another sheepskin raft, his eyes revealing hope.

Unexpectedly, the fish monster reacted sensitively, turning its body strongly in mid-air, avoiding the vital points, and taking the short spears with its back plate armor and scales.

Sparks flashed, the spearheads spun and embedded into the boat body, fell into the flood, and the spear handles exploded into wooden chips.

Ling Shixiong's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

The fish monster flicked its tail and staggered, just about to enter the water, when an arrow flickering with light arcs crossed the encirclement, pierced through the sky of wooden chips and the night, made a thunderous sound, and slammed straight into the fish monster's belly.

Pfft!

The arrow entered the belly, exploding a blood hole the size of a human head, and the fishy smell surged and spread.

The fish monster was struck by lightning, its whole body stiff, and it smashed into the water, splashing up flood waves.

Eight sheepskin rafts rose and fell in succession, rotating and crashing into the large ship, only to be pulled back by the siphon.

The sudden arrow not only severely damaged the fish monster but also shocked everyone.

Ling Shixiong turned his head to look; there were faint long marks left in the air, which didn't dissipate for a long time.

Where did the archery expert come from?

The fish monster fell into the flood marsh, its belly pain unbearable, turbid water poured into the wound, polluting the organs, and it had no intention of fighting, turning around and running.

"Round Head! Scar Head!"

At the order, black shadows reappeared in the flood waves.

Ten water lines were stretched straight like harp strings, but they were not the same kind as the fish monster; their forms were much smoother.

"Finless porpoises!"

Yu Dayi on the bow of the boat looked down from above and easily recognized that they were the iconic water beasts of the River Bo Office.

Two finless porpoise kings led eight finless porpoises and scattered, surrounding the fish monster, cooperating like a giant net, interlacing and entangling.

Even though the finless porpoises' defense and attack were not as good as the fish monster, relying on their own flexible advantages to collide back and forth, they also successfully restricted the fish monster's actions.

No matter which direction it wanted to break through, it would be hit by the finless porpoises and couldn't escape.

The fish monster fought left and right, its internal organs shaking violently, truly unable to endure, and seeing Liang Qu on the pleasure boat not far away, knowing that he was the one who really gave the orders, it immediately turned its direction and rushed toward Liang Qu.

The finless porpoises tried to stop it, but Liang Qu let the finless porpoises release the fish monster instead.

At Round Head's order, the finless porpoises obeyed, letting the fish monster escape the encirclement.

The fish monster was overjoyed; without the finless porpoises' restraint, it accelerated again, drawing a straight water line.

The eight martial artists on the sheepskin rafts were startled; they thought the expert sent the finless porpoises to contain the fish monster and slowly exhaust it to death, but they didn't expect an accident.

The martial artists had fought with the fish monster for a long time and knew how powerful it was; they couldn't let it get close!

"Be careful!"

"Run!"

"Don't confront it head-on!"

Layers of water flowers moved, Lu Xinqing's legs went soft; he didn't have golden eyes, and the firelight flickered violently, so he didn't see what happened in the encirclement at all, only knowing that Liang Qu shot an arrow, but his intuition told him the guy underwater was even more terrifying!

Must run!

Lu Xinqing looked at Liang Qu in panic.

On the bow of the boat.

Liang Qu held a long spear obliquely, motionless.

No.

People should listen to advice!

Told you to run!

The water flowers suddenly shattered, and the sound of tearing silk rang out in the air; a huge pitch-black shadow jumped out of the water flowers and pounced on the pleasure boat.

Time seemed to stand still.

Lu Xinqing looked up.

That terrifying appearance was full of primitive power and wildness, and looking down from above, it carried a wave of fear like the end of the world.

In an instant, Lu Xinqing couldn't control his tears; tears streamed down, and countless memories emerged.

He thought of the pair of sisters, then thought of the old mother with a face full of thick powder, and then thought of his dead brothers...

"Good guts!"

A violent shout forcibly interrupted the sad emotion.

Lu Xinqing felt like he was forcibly holding back a hiccup, the hiccup gas forcing open the trachea and forcibly swallowing it.

He widened his eyes, hot tears crossed his eye bags and fell, and a glimmer of light shone in his pupils.

The long spear drew an arc, bringing up a half-moon-like radiance.

A dragon roar startled the flood waves, the black-gold long spear shook into a green dragon, and jumped straight into the fish monster's plate armor, sinking into its brain.

Boom!

The entire pleasure boat sank suddenly, stirring up monstrous waves.

Liang Qu exerted his strength, and the steel wind raged like a dragon roll along the spear blade, sweeping, and in an instant, shredded the fish monster's brain to pieces.

The Fubo spear shook and retreated easily.

The fish monster's momentum didn't decrease, brushing over the top of the pleasure boat.

"Boom!"

The monster fish stuck to its fins, fell into the water, drew dozens of meters, rolled its belly, and sank to the bottom of the water.

Splash.

The heavy rain became bigger.

The water splashed by the monster fish sprayed Lu Xinqing's face; he wiped it messily, his face full of fishy smell, mixed with unknown dirty blood.

The fleet martial artists' hearts shook violently.

The monster fish they had been stalemated with for a long time and were at a loss about.

One encounter.

Solved?

The common people in the team cheered, thanking the unknown strong man.

Yu Dayi looked from afar, and the hand gripping the boat side relaxed.

The finless porpoises turned their bodies, flipped the fish monster's corpse from the bottom of the water, and carried it to the side of the boat.

Liang Qu stared at the fish monster's corpse, the sense of déjà vu becoming more and more intense.
