Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
If it were someone who didn't understand, or if Xu Zhangqing were alone.
Seeing such a large fish tail, they would definitely be unable to resist immediately tugging the fish hook.
But once they did that, they would fall for the fish demon's trick in the water.
After all, its strength in the water was extremely great.
Last time, if it weren't for Foundation Establishment Stage Zhao Ziyue's help, Hu Bugui would undoubtedly be dead.
Now, looking at the faintly visible huge fish tail, all three were very calm.
Hu Bugui gritted his teeth and said: "Let's see how long you can keep pretending!"
After another while, the other fishing line tied to the Big Leaf Grass actually also began to sway.
At this moment, both fishing lines, both fish hooks, produced a reaction.
This time, everyone became conflicted.
Is it a fish demon?
Or a Dragon Fish?
To pull or not to pull?
The three rapidly exchanged glances.
Xu Zhangqing couldn't help but ask: "Want to try the second fishing line?"
"This..." Zhao Ziyue, hearing this, exchanged a glance with Hu Bugui, somewhat hesitant.
Seeing both didn't know how to decide, Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow: "Speaking frankly, dragging on like this isn't a solution, we might as well just act directly."
Hu Bugui was startled: "Lao Xu, what do you have in mind?"
Xu Zhangqing said in a deep voice: "The fish demon wants to scheme against us, so we'll deliberately tug the fish hook, let it think it's about to succeed, then suddenly launch an attack!"
"Feels a bit..." Zhao Ziyue wasn't too willing to take the risk.
Based on his many years of fishing experience.
If one attempt fails, it's very hard to have a next time.
Moreover, people coming here to fish in the future might encounter even more dangerous attacks.
This fish demon will definitely hold a grudge.
However, Hu Bugui said fiercely: "I think Lao Xu is right, we can't just keep dragging this out.
What if a Dragon Fish really bites the hook, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
What's more, I also want revenge!"
Seeing Xu Zhangqing and Hu Bugui both say this.
Zhao Ziyue thought it over, and finally nodded.
After all, they are a team, equivalent to a whole.
Xu Zhangqing said seriously: "Once my Big Leaf Grass rotates, it will produce extremely strong power.
This way, the fish demon in the water will mistakenly think someone is tugging the fish hook.
At that time we'll watch for the right moment, and directly act.
Even if we don't kill it, even injuring it a bit counts as revenge for Lao Hu."
Immediately, Zhao Ziyue and Hu Bugui nodded.
Next, Xu Zhangqing raised the Big Leaf Grass above his head.
Infused his own Wood Spirit Power.
It immediately began rotating clockwise.
At first the frequency was very slow, but then it became faster and faster.
From four leaves, gradually turning into one.
At first, the fish demon underwater thought the fisherman had finally reacted.
Result was unexpected, this "reaction" was actually this great.
Puchi—
Along with it, it even emerged from the water surface.
Xu Zhangqing and the other two had been staring, and when they saw this thing's face, all their complexions changed slightly.
This fish demon looked quite ferocious.
Not only did it have human-like facial features.
Its eyes were triangular.
Its gaze concealed viciousness.
Its lips were very thin, and the teeth inside were all thin and sharp.
Its body was quite huge; just the part exposed above the water surface was two to three meters in length.
From top to bottom, except for the face, all parts were covered in a layer of dark black fish scales.
Paired with the slightly green pool water, and this dim environment.
Incomparably gloomy and terrifying.
"Hah?"
The fish demon also saw Xu Zhangqing and the other two.
Seeing they hadn't tugged the fishhook, it too froze for a moment.
"Attack!"
Xu Zhangqing gave a greeting.
Immediately, the three each released their own attacks.
Hu Bugui raised a hand and tossed up an iron block.
Then his right hand snapped its fingers, and with a "pop" sound.
The iron block's surface suddenly ignited with orange-yellow flames.
Soon, the huge iron block melted into several dozen thin, sharp iron needles.
Burning on one side.
On the other side shooting toward the fish demon.
This time, Hu Bugui was determined to avenge the previous grudge.
And Zhao Ziyue mobilized the water spirit power in his Qi Sea, producing an invisible water wall that directly cut off the water currents near the fish demon, making them unable to flow, like a cage.
Xu Zhangqing's left hand held the big leaf grass, and in his right palm emerged a Wood Spirit Seal.
The weed seeds stored inside scattered outward.
As they continuously approached the fish demon, the seeds one after another transformed into poisonous thorn grass with spikes.
"?"
The fish demon had just reacted when the attacks already smashed into its face.
Hiss~
Hiss hiss~
Instantly, its massive body couldn't stop trembling.
Especially its face, which suffered Hu Bugui's focused attention.
Instantly disfigured, its five features all twisted up.
Looking even more ferocious.
The fish demon was incomparably furious, baring its teeth at the three above.
Originally, it wanted to lure Xu Zhangqing into a trap, thereby dragging him into the water.
Unexpectedly, it fell for the trap itself, and even suffered an ambush.
In its anger, it planned to dive into the water to temporarily evade.
But it encountered resistance.
The surrounding water seemed to have turned into a cage.
Its entire body was trapped inside.
And at this time, Xu Zhangqing's poison thorn grass also landed around and on the fish demon.
Although lacking accuracy.
But winning in quantity not being small.
Covering a larger range and area.
Moreover, Xu Zhangqing could still remotely control them.
Therefore, any poison thorn grass near the fish demon all crawled along the gaps in its black scales, frantically burrowing inside, as if wanting to plant roots in flesh and blood.
"Hiss!"
The fish demon rolled back and forth in pain.
In water, its strength would increase many times over.
Even with the water cut off, it was still formidable.
Therefore, after hard-blocking several attacks from Xu Zhangqing and Hu Bugui, it fiercely leaped up.
Amidst "puff" sounds of breaking water.
The fish demon's massive body entered the three's vision.
Overall length, at least around five meters.
As if a black catfish had become a spirit.
However, Xu Zhangqing keenly captured.
The other's tail seemed to have been scorched by something.
The scales on it were all cracked dry, flesh turned charred.
Yes, not wrong.
Precisely cracked dry and charred.
Even in the extremely low temperature pool water, it was still this injured state.
Subsequently, the fish demon heavily fell back into the water.
This time, however, not within the cut-off range, but falling to the other side.
Pop pop pop!
The fishing lines on the big leaf grass couldn't bear this weight, all snapping in an instant.
Splash~
Splash~
The water surface rolled up waves, no longer the previous calm.
Zhao Ziyue seeing this said with regret: "Looks like the Dragon Fish can't be caught."
Hu Bugui was very unwilling: "If I reach Foundation Establishment Stage, I can cause even bigger injuries."
Xu Zhangqing secretly thought in his heart: "This fish demon seems... not powerful?"
If all three were Foundation Establishment Stage, perhaps they could heavily injure it, even kill it.
But Zhao Ziyue was not wrong.
Having made it like this, even if a Dragon Fish had really been attracted just now, it has been scared away now.
Therefore, the three simply packed up their good things and quickly left here.
Time quickly came to evening.
The Black Dragon Pool, already dim, was now pitch black beyond compare.
Dim green light made the atmosphere especially sinister.
At this time, Xu Zhangqing, who had originally left, returned alone to Black Dragon Pool.
Previously with Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue present, he could not unleash full firepower.
Now alone, naturally he had no more scruples.
Therefore, looking at the pool water that had already recovered its calm.
Xu Zhangqing's heart stirred, and he summoned the Demon Wood Water-Avoidance Boat out!!!
