Chapter 239: Zhang Chong Doubts Life

~7 min read 1,251 words

Zhang Chong has not seen even a single wood worm so far; his pride, the specially made powder, seems completely ineffective.

At this moment, hearing Wei Feng's mockery, Zhang Chong gritted his teeth in anger and said.

"Hmph, what does a brat know? Insect fishing inherently requires patience."

"Oh."

Hearing that, Wei Feng smiled with a look of contempt, and seeing this, Zhang Chong's anger flared even more.

"Hmph, if you have the ability, dare the two of you to compete with me? Let's decide the outcome with insect fishing."

Zhang Chong couldn't tolerate Wei Feng's mockery, directly proposed a match, and meanwhile some passersby nearby, hearing this, also gathered around one by one.

"Master Zhang Chong wants to compete with someone?"

"Who is it?"

"These two youths?"

Hearing that Zhang Chong was going to compete with someone, many people became interested, after all, he is the insect fishing master ranked second on the insect fishing ranking.

Hearing that, Wei Feng showed no surprise at all, even looking expectant, and turned to Ye Zhangqing and said.

"Senior Brother, agree to him; we will surely win."

"This is my first time insect fishing."

Although he also dislikes this old man, Ye Zhangqing also knows his own capabilities.

Compared to Zhang Chong, Ye Zhangqing, who is insect fishing for the first time, definitely won't be a match; if they compete, wouldn't that be self-inflicted humiliation?

He had absolutely no confidence in his heart, but seeing this, Wei Feng wore a smug look.

"Senior Brother, rest assured, you will definitely win; in insect fishing, besides technique, luck is also very crucial."

"Definitely win? Looking at Wei Feng's beaming face with suspicion, where the hell does your confidence come from?"

"I myself have no confidence at all, and you say I will definitely win?"

"Not only Ye Zhangqing, but Zhang Chong beside him also snorted coldly upon hearing that."

"Heh, saying you will definitely win is pure nonsense; I've never even heard that luck has anything to do with insect fishing."

"There are many things you haven't heard of; no wonder you keep losing to our Elder Chen."

Upon hearing the three words "Elder Chen", Zhang Chong's face instantly darkened, as if someone had stepped on his sore spot, and he immediately shouted angrily.

"Fine, I want to see what luck you two brats have."

"A look as if he wanted to swallow them both whole."

"For no reason, they thus started a bet with Zhang Chong; Ye Zhangqing still wanted to speak, but Wei Feng stopped him with a confident look."

"Senior Brother, trust me, we will surely win."

"I myself don't even believe in myself."

"Rest assured, Senior Brother, with great luck on your side, you will definitely beat this old thing."

"Hmph, I'll wait to see how you insect fish."

Just as he was speaking, suddenly, a swarm of wood worms came down from above Ye Zhangqing's head, numbering at least several hundred.

Moreover, when these wood worms fell, each had only a breath left, lacking even the strength to flee.

They just lay obediently at Ye Zhangqing's feet.

For a moment, Ye Zhangqing was stunned, and Zhang Chong was also stunned.

This this this................

Looking at those hundreds of wood worms at Ye Zhangqing's feet, Zhang Chong wore an expression of disbelief, "This is impossible; how could worms fall from the sky?"

He lifted his head to look at the boundless forest canopy, "This is unscientific; he has been insect fishing for so many years and has never seen such a scene."

On the other hand, Wei Feng reacted, shouting excitedly.

"Senior Brother, quickly kill these wood worms!"

"Oh, okay."

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing nodded dumbly, and easily saw those hundreds of wood worms being killed; meanwhile, the token immediately displayed the number 682.

This meant Ye Zhangqing had already exterminated 682 wood worms.

Seeing this, Chen Chong's face instantly darkened; he still hasn't slain even a single wood worm so far.

"Hmph, just sheer luck."

He snorted coldly, Chen Chong unwillingly said, and then planned to go check other trees.

He simply didn't believe it, that as a renowned insect fishing master, he would lose to a novice brat.

But just as he took a step, another swarm of wood worms fell from the sky, even more numerous than before, landing steadily beside Ye Zhangqing's feet.

Wei Feng wore an excited look as he instructed.

"I said Senior Brother's luck is good; these wood worms are literally delivering themselves to the door."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible..."

On the other side, Chen Chong immediately shouted, "How could wood worms fall from the sky? Absolutely impossible."

Not only Chen Chong, but even the surrounding people who saw this had their eyes wide open.

They had never seen such a thing before; those wood worms that are usually hard to find, would they fall from the sky like this?

Chen Chong roared in anger, but Wei Feng excitedly urged Ye Zhangqing to act.

In succession, two batches of wood worms were thus confusedly collected by Ye Zhangqing into his bag.

Looking at Ye Zhangqing, who had already harvested over a thousand wood worms, Chen Chong's face turned deathly pale.

This is absurd; however, all this is just the beginning, and thereafter one sees that Ye Zhangqing never moved a single step from start to finish.

But damn, after just a dozen breaths, a swarm of wood worms fell from the sky.

Once or twice could be called an accident, but damn, it has already happened more than ten times.

All you need is hands.

Whoa, there's still this kind of move?

I've been catching fake worms all along?

Why are these worms like this?

Just like Chen Chong, everyone around is completely baffled—this is just too simple.

You don't need to do anything; these wood worms just keep showing up in piles.

By contrast, the worm-fishing master Chen Chong, panting from exhaustion, couldn't even find a single wood worm.

This is just outrageous.

Even some people lost confidence, recalling what Wei Feng had just said, and muttered to themselves.

Could it be that worm-fishing really depends on luck?

Impossible—I've been catching wood worms for years and have never heard such a claim.

Can you explain the situation? Why are these wood worms falling from the sky on their own?

I...... I don't know either.

Chen Chong took the biggest hit, even starting to doubt life.

After years of studying worm-fishing, this completely baffled him.

Impossible, absolutely impossible—these wood worms couldn't possibly be like this.

Why, why is this happening? Why are these wood worms running to you on their own?

Why is my medicine powder ineffective? Where did these wood worms go?

On one side, wood worms kept falling from the sky; on the other, the medicine powder had no effect—smeared on tree trunks, it produced no reaction, leaving Chen Chong completely baffled.

Everyone gathered around Ye Zhangqing, watching piles of wood worms fall from the sky; Ye Zhangqing himself stared blankly at the ground covered in wood worms, somewhat puzzled.

Junior disciple, you said you were worm-fishing—what's going on now?

You don't even need to fish for them yourself, right? Upon hearing that, Wei Feng at the side laughed.

I just said senior brother, your luck is off the charts—these wood worms are showing up on their own.

Look, tens of thousands of disciples worm-fishing together still can't beat that old fogey Chen Chong? And his medicine powder is actually not bad—really smooth.
