Chapter 559: The Carp King Appears (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Aaron felt a jolt in his heart.

During this recent period, he had also caught quite a few Red Blood Carp by utilizing the Sea Gathering Residual Art.

At this moment, his expression remained unchanged as he looked toward the crowd: "Lao Yan?"

"Master Yu!"

Lao Yan bowed with a hearty laugh.

He had a simple, honest appearance, was short and stocky, and at this moment, his face was flushed with excitement.

The tavern patrons sighed one after another.

"Duan Lang!"

But it was clear that Duan Lang would not be following the rules with Chu Tianhe today.

"Thanks to your blessing... I'll treat you to this round of drinks as well." Lao Yan patted his chest, looking quite proud and triumphant.

'No one can stop my steady progress!'

Just as Aaron was preparing to make a move and knock Chu Tianhe down to escape, his expression suddenly shifted, and he looked toward the other side.

"Damn it... it's only been peaceful for half a year, and they're pulling this stunt again!"

First control their families, then offer heavy rewards, and there would be no shortage of desperate laborers willing to risk their lives.

By noon, he arrived at the Sanshui Tavern again to inquire about news.

A mere Red Blood Carp King was not worth him risking his life!

The moment he arrived at the Fish Market, he heard this shocking news.

Aaron cast his bait again, fishing...

These were all his gains for tonight.

The fourth day.

This time, he was doing it entirely to verify certain thoughts in his mind, and after this net was hauled up, his expression remained unchanged as he saw a flash of vibrant red.

Seeing the sun about to rise and other fishermen coming out to make a living, Aaron steered his boat to the reed marsh and began to stew, roast, and smoke the fish...

The moonlight hung high.

Aaron noticed that although several old fishermen also wore smiles, there was a hint of gloom in their eyes, likely worrying about something.

The Golden Fish Gang's Young Gang Leader, Duan Lang, was arriving with a large group of Golden Fish Gang members.

Aaron recalled the most profound memory of Fang Yu.

"Haha... Lao Yang, you've struck it rich too, congratulations, congratulations."

"The Red Blood Carp are increasing... I'm afraid... a Carp King has appeared!"

"Lao Hei... Lao Hei caught Red Blood Carp in a single net, two of them!"

'I started practicing Wu earlier than Xiao Chu, and my martial arts are better than his; that's only natural, right?'

Ordinary fishermen really wouldn't know.

Even though Aaron had been eating Red Blood Carp until he felt like vomiting these days, he could not stop certain Natural Sciences laws from occurring.

Chu Tianhe shouted: "Go seize the boats at the dock first, then go and detain all their families; only then can everyone put my mind at ease!"

Aaron cursed under his breath.

Chu Tianhe called out this name he feared so much: "Do you want to trigger a war between the two sides?"

But in Aaron's view, this Red Blood Carp King was a scourge! A scourge for the fishermen!

"I am trying my best to widen my fishing range, risking the exposure of my Fish Bait... just to catch this Carp King as soon as possible and kill it once and for all! Otherwise... once this news spreads, the fishermen will be in for bad luck again."

But if a second or third one appeared in succession, anyone would know something was wrong!

Aaron intended to catch the Red Blood Carp King before those fishermen did! — To nip the disaster in the bud!

If that really didn't work, catching a few more Red Blood Carp would be fine too.

An old fisherman's fingers trembled as he pointed at Chu Tianhe: "We watched you grow up..."

"Xiao Chu... you black-hearted brat!"

The third day.

On this day, the lake surface was calm, and no fishermen caught any Red Blood Carp.

After all, they belonged to the same faction, and even private brawls had their rules.

"Another one..."

He ate all the Red Blood Carp in one go, feeling his Qi and Blood begin to boil, and only then did he practice Wu on the beach.

Aaron sighed, stopped worrying about other things, turned around, and walked toward Taize Prefecture City.

"Land prices are cheap now; I can go to the countryside and buy a lot of land..."

'Otherwise, the fishermen of Taize Lake are likely to suffer a catastrophe.'

"Caught a Red Blood Carp? Congratulations!" Aaron raised his wine cup with a grin.

Aaron's gaze suddenly became incomparably calm.

At the dock exit, many Twelve Linked Docks Disciples had already begun setting up checkpoints.

To catch it, one had to go into the water and risk lives!

What's more, after catching it, one would have to face competition from other factions; it was dangerous no matter how you looked at it!

Old fishermen all knew that once Red Blood Carp suddenly increased, a Carp King must have been born!

For a time, the tavern was filled with harmony, with only a few gang members staring at Lao Yan, lost in thought.

The Red Blood Carp King was a divine object that would drive the noble families in the prefecture crazy!

"Master Chu..." Aaron stepped forward: "For the sake of us growing up together..."

Back then, the Cao Family also used this trick, directly detaining Fang Yu and forcing his parents to risk their lives.

"Although it's being sold to the Twelve Linked Docks, it's still a full thirty taels of silver!"

In the past, before the Red Blood Carp King appeared, there was first a weird increase in Red Blood Carp, which became one of the omens.

Sanshui Tavern.

At this moment, the fishermen no longer had smiles on their faces; on the contrary, each of their faces was as gloomy as if water could drip from them.

Fishermen could run once they jumped onto their boats, but with their families detained, there was truly no way out.

Nighttime.

And inside the fish tank, there were already two Red Blood Carp swimming about.

Aaron walked to the exit and saw Chu Tianhe personally leading men to guard the intersection, pressing down on his long saber: "The Great Leader has ordered! Not a single fisherman is allowed to leave!"

"Haha, Lao Yan has struck it rich..."

Right now, it was only Lao Yan who had caught one, which didn't count for much yet.

Although it was not the dead of winter, the Red Blood Carp King was incomparably ferocious and could even bite through ordinary fishing nets.

It was very obvious... the news of the Red Blood Carp King had already leaked!

"Watching me grow up, and also watching me and my father get beaten to death or crippled?" A flash of gloom crossed Chu Tianhe's face as he drew his long saber with a clang: "My fellow elders and brothers... I'll say the ugly things first: if you dare to run today, I, Chu Tianhe, might recognize you, but this blade won't!"

This Lao Yan could be considered to have had a turn of good fortune.

He prepared to first go to Si Niangzi's house or the brothel, stay for a few months, and wait until the limelight of the 'Red Blood Carp King' had passed.

"My apologies, Yu... these are all my fellow villagers; if I let one go, how can I answer to the rest?"

Red Blood Carp were originally very difficult to catch!

Although he was a Dark Energy Expert and an expert at Fishing, he actually had a high chance of catching the 'Red Blood Carp King', but Aaron still prepared to give up!

The fishermen were overjoyed as they crowded around one person, spouting auspicious words as if they were free: "Our fishing village has finally seen the end of bitterness and the beginning of sweetness..."

The second day also passed without incident.

Aaron scooped up the Red Blood Carp and placed it into the fish tank.

The situation at the pier was the same; no matter how many fishermen came, they were all detained.

As for what effects it had?

"I deliberately left the fishing grounds I was familiar with... roaming around to fish, and by utilizing the Sea Gathering Residual Art, I indeed caught quite a few rare fish, even three Red Blood Carp... This probability is not normal!"

In front of the Red Blood Carp King, any rules were all bullshit!

Now, what he wanted to do most was also to control all the fishermen and then go catch the Red Blood Carp King!

"Beat them hard for me!"

Duan Lang looked at those people from the Twelve Linked Docks, his hawk-like eyes flashing with a fierce Light: "Take back our territory!"
