Chapter 2483: There is movement

Watching as the leader of this extraterrestrial alien blew on the conch for a long time, the lake showed not even a hint of movement.

The two companions beside him grew impatient and said.

"Come on, what are you standing there for?"

"I already did."

"You're joking?"

"No, it seems there are no ze fish in this lake."

"Impossible, ze fish are hard to catch—how could there be none? You must be mistaken; let me try."

The two companions simply didn't believe it—no ze fish in the lake? What a joke.

Another extraterrestrial alien snatched the conch and immediately began to blow it with a spell.

Just like before, an invisible wave spread out, but the next second the lake surface remained completely calm—nothing happened.

Huh???

At this moment, the extraterrestrial alien who had personally tried it was also bewildered—why was there no response?

"Could the conch be broken?"

"What nonsense, the conch couldn't possibly be broken—it must be the lake's problem."

They had brought the conch from their clan, inspected it carefully before departure, and kept it safe along the way—it couldn't possibly be damaged.

So if it's not the conch, then it must be the lake—could it really have no fish?

Staring strangely at the lake surface for a while, the three extraterrestrial aliens, unwilling to give up, finally got up and left, intending to try another spot.

Since this lake won't work, let's try another.

Anyway, there are many lakes in Dazehu; losing one doesn't matter.

Again they proceeded cautiously, and before taking any action, the three extraterrestrial aliens dared not reveal their whereabouts.

Not far off, the three extraterrestrial aliens found another lake; by its side were only Ye Zhangqing, Tianlin, Miao Qianqian, along with six others and a dog, sitting together.

Before them sat a Heaven-Earth Pot, in which fish stew was simmering.

They were tired of grilled fish, but using it to make soup was also quite good; just now they had taken a sip, and the flavor was fresh and sweet, equally perfect.

Hiding in the dark, watching Ye Zhangqing and his six companions happily eating their fill, the three extraterrestrial aliens didn't think much of it.

They merely sounded a bit disappointed and said.

"Only six people?"

At the previous lake, there were several groups of human cultivators, numbering over a dozen.

But here there are only a mere six people—too few, the harvest would be too small.

Hearing this, the extraterrestrial alien in the middle gritted his teeth and said.

"Stop being picky—six people are six people; let's give it a try."

"Okay."

Just now the conch had inexplicably lost its effect, and these three unexpected heavenly demons were still wondering why.

Logically it shouldn't be like that; now that they've changed lakes, they are eager to verify.

They might as well use Ye Zhangqing and his six companions as sacrificial pawns.

First making sure the conch is fine is the top priority.

The next second, the three extraterrestrial aliens hiding in the dark silently blew the conch, and an invisible wave spread out.

Soon, there was movement in the lake.

Watching ripples spread across the lake surface, the three extraterrestrial aliens couldn't help but feel delighted—it worked, the conch was fine.

Since the conch is fine, the problem must have been that earlier lake.

Naturally, the disturbance on the lake surface also caught the attention of Ye Zhangqing and his six companions.

"What's wrong with these stupid fish? I haven't finished eating yet."

Tianlin said displeasedly, he hadn't even planned to catch more fish, yet these stupid fish started moving on their own?

Beside her, He Muqin frowned upon seeing this, never having heard that ze fish had such a habit.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, if not disturbed, ze fish do not surface.

Not to mention the surface, they wouldn't linger even in shallow waters.

Most of the time, these ze fish dwell in the lake's depths and rarely show themselves.

This is one reason why ze fish are so hard to catch.

But now, Ye Zhangqing and his companions hadn't made any move—how did the ze fish start moving on their own?

That shouldn't happen.

Under the gaze of the six, the ripples grew larger, and the lake surface soon lost its calm.

Wave after wave surged toward the shore, and then a ze fish leapt out of the lake first, heading straight for Ye Zhangqing and his six companions.

"Huh??? Is it coming for me?"

Seeing this, Tianlin blinked in surprise—what's going on with this fish?

But the next second, they saw the fish swim straight ahead with a plop, jumping into the Heaven-Earth Pot.

Huh???

Seeing this, the six were momentarily dazed—what's going on, rushing to get into the pot?

Only Tianlin came to his senses, his face grim as he said.

"You wretched thing, you haven't even dealt with the fish scales."

Watching the ze fish go in untreated, straight into the pot to be stewed, Tianlin flew into a rage.

"This pot of soup is dirty now."

Just the next second, in the lake, more and more marsh fish kept leaping out, and then they directly attacked Ye Zhangqing and the five others.

At that moment, the six finally realized, this matter was probably not simple; these marsh fish really were coming straight for them.

The three Beyond the Heavens outsiders lurking in the dark, upon seeing this scene, repeatedly gave cold smiles.

"With so many marsh fish, these six human cultivators are surely doomed."

"Bite them to death for me."

The marsh fish are numerous; these six human cultivators cannot withstand them.

Actually, aside from Ye Zhangqing, Tianling, and Miao Qianqian, He Muqin, the youth, and the maiden all had their expressions drastically change.

Obviously, they were filled with heaviness; the numbers were too great.

"Someone is controlling these marsh fish."

The youth was the first to guess that the marsh fish's movements were really too strange; surely someone was controlling them behind the scenes.

They had been targeted.

Right now, facing the siege of so many marsh fish, if not handled well, it is indeed dangerous.

As for Tianlin and Miao Qianqian, they immediately sprang into action; facing the attacking marsh fish, although the numbers were many, the two showed no fear at all.

They collected each of these marsh fish that had come of their own accord.

"Just a little ingredient, and you still want to rebel against heaven? No matter how numerous, do you think you can't kill me?"

Tianlin and Miao Qianqian accepted all who came, so Ye Zhangqing didn't need to lift a finger.

And seeing the pile of marsh fish before them grow ever larger, He Muqin, the youth, and the maiden were dumbfounded—this is too easy?

These marsh fish, before Tianlin and Miao Qianqian, truly seemed to come of their own accord.

They were caught with just a casual grab.

Even later, the youth couldn't help but speak up.

"Miao Daoist, Tian Brother, enough—we can't finish them, we simply can't finish them."

Before, they thought there wasn't enough, but now the front is piled high, yet the lake still keeps having marsh fish leap out.

How can we possibly eat them all at this rate? The numbers are just too many.

What a windfall—never expected this unexpected joy; the ingredients just came jumping right to us, no need to expend effort to seek them.

The youth now only felt, "Has my luck been too good this time? Heaven's blessings, this young master?"

Only Ye Zhangqing calmly looked toward the other side of the lake; there, the three dull-witted Beyond the Heavens clan made his scalp go numb.
