Chapter 537

Even though it was smashed into a daze, the strange fish still had plenty of energy, jumping around and stirring up gusts of wind.

Hearing Lingxin hopped over to Li Yao's side, its eyes looking up at this behemoth.

Tentacle contact:

"This is a 'frown-fish'!"

"It has no aggression and likes to swallow stones as a physical digestive tool in its digestive system!"

"Because the population is huge and they exist in almost every sea area, they are used as a common unit of measurement on the Barowika Continent."

"'Frown-fish'."

Li Yao looked at the strange fish thoughtfully.

"The entire fish head only has that patch of folds on its forehead."

"And the folds are swallowing giant rocks."

"So are these folds eyebrows or a mouth?"

"And!"

"Can rocks really catch fish!?"

The Silver Tree dragged a giant rock back.

Shang Shang Yana got off the ship and couldn't help but freeze at the sight of the exaggerated giant strange fish.

After a long while,

she reacted and took out her camera,

aimed at the strange fish, and clicked.

Hearing Lingxin had said

that the Ferryman liked to eat live fish.

Li Yao tied the vines to the 'frown-fish', had Kha'Zix knock it unconscious, and threw it into the shallow sea.

This behemoth, nearly a thousand meters long,

even when lying in the shallow sea, had a large part of its belly exposed.

But ensuring it didn't die was no problem.

Li Yao took a look with his 【Staff: Crystal Ball】.

Level 80 Lord-level monster.

Its attributes were in the normal range, even on the weak side.

But its HP was abnormally high!

Reaching several billion!

Even Overlord-level creatures didn't have such terrifying HP!

Li Yao felt it must be a matter of life force.

In the Abyss world,

life force was far higher than on Blue Star.

Not to mention, 'frown-fish' inhabited the deep sea, the source of life.

"Splash, splash."

The rain by the sea either didn't fall, or it was a torrential downpour.

The waves became more and more turbulent.

Often at this time, 'frown-fish' liked to approach the shallow sea to swallow the cleaner stones of the shallow sea Gobi.

It was also the best time to fish for them.

Taking advantage of this weather,

Li Yao planned to catch all four 'frown-fish' within the day!

The vines were requisitioned.

Li Yao returned to the depths of the forest to cut more vines.

Shang Shang Yana also went to continue searching for large rocks.

With the experience of the first fishing attempt,

the second time was smooth sailing.

In just a few minutes,

the fishing vine pulled taut.

Gainer-At released its claws immediately.

Kha'Zix had been holding the vines, waiting for the 'frown-fish' to take the bait.

When the movement came, it swung backward directly.

"Boom-boom!"

Another big fish was thrown onto the shore.

This one was a bit smaller,

but not by much.

Continuing to fish,

in the blink of an eye,

time reached evening.

With a 'boom',

the fifth 'frown-fish' was thrown onto the shore.

To be safe,

Li Yao took advantage of the rain to catch one more.

From baiting to hooking, it took at most ten minutes.

The most time-consuming part was still collecting fishing materials in the dense forest.

On the way, he did encounter a Lord-level monster over level 100,

a giant mountain ape,

attempting to come over and steal the stunned 'frown-fish' in the shallow sea,

but it was instantly blasted into a sieve by Kai'Sa, who was guarding there.

Other than that, everything went smoothly.

After catching the fish, Li Yao didn't choose to stay.

He had Hearing Lingxin and Shang Shang Yana enter the Silver Tree to lead the way.

He sat on Gainer-At's back,

accompanying Kha'Zix as it dragged the five big fish.

Five fish weighing nearly forty thousand tons—

the Silver Tree couldn't pull such a massive weight.

Fortunately,

the Green Mushroom Bay where the Ferryman lived was not too far from here.

After traveling about several hundred kilometers,

Mushroom Bay appeared in his field of vision.

This was a recessed coastline.

The air contained a strong fishy smell.

In the shallow sea surrounded by the coastline, there was a small island that looked like a mushroom,

entirely dark green in color,

covered with many seashells and barnacles.

And this small island

was the Ferryman in Hearing Lingxin's words.

The entire bay was named after it.

Barowika land creatures wanting to go to sea almost all had to seek its help.

Level 100 Named Monster

— Ferryman: Green Mushroom Sea Turtle.

Seemingly smelling the scent of the 'frown-fish',

"Splash!"

A dark green head, resembling a snake's, poked out of the sea.

A pair of massive eyes stared intently at the fish bellies floating on the sea surface.

The Silver Tree docked on the turtle shell.

The hundred-meter-tall Silver Tree looked like a weed on the back of the Green Mushroom Sea Turtle.

Hearing Lingxin stayed on Shang Shang Yana's head and walked out of the cabin.

It extended two tentacles, connecting Li Yao and the turtle shell beneath them.

Before Li Yao could speak,

a somewhat childish voice rang out in his mind:

"Human, where are you going? I'll take you there, but those five fresh guys behind you must all belong to me."

Li Yao didn't agree immediately. "Aren't the conditions for ferrying always three 'frown-fish' weights of food?"

"I have 'frown-fish' here, and there are five of them."

"Speak, human, what are your conditions? I don't believe you're just full and bored, bringing five 'frown-fish' to me."

Since the other party was so direct, Li Yao didn't hide anything: "I want to go to the Lost Continent, at your fastest speed!"

"Swish!"

The turtle head retracted into the shell with a sudden motion.

"Please go back."

"I can't take this job."

Li Yao was stunned. "Why?"

"It's too dangerous!"

"Human, I advise you not to go to the Lost Continent. Even if you have urgent business, you should at least wait until that thing leaves!"

"That thing?" Li Yao's expression was solemn. "What is that thing?"

"I don't know," the Green Mushroom Sea Turtle answered very crisply. "But a few days ago, I passed by the Lost Continent, and that hair-raising sense of threat—I've lived for thousands of years, and I've never seen anything like it!"

"It is impossible for me to go to that kind of place again!"

"Human, please go back, take your 'frown-fish' with you, some of them have me intoxicated with their fragrance."

Because Hearing Lingxin was on her head, Shang Shang Yana could also hear the sea turtle's voice.

Her expression couldn't help but become nervous.

Student Li Yao came to the Abyss this time just to go to the Lost Continent.

But now, both Hearing Lingxin and this giant sea turtle were telling Student Li Yao:

The Lost Continent is dangerous, extremely dangerous!

Hearing Lingxin didn't speak.

A pair of small eyes watched Li Yao quietly.

It had long guessed

that the Ferryman wouldn't agree to go to the Lost Continent.

The Lost Continent now was very dangerous, and it didn't want Li Yao to go and risk his life.

But as Li Yao's Abyss guide,

if Li Yao insisted on going,

it would also stand firmly by his side!

Just like what was said when they parted before:

No matter where it is, I will come to find you.
