Chapter 580: Hu Zi Being Hunted

Target: Killer Whale (Hu Zi)

Introduction: This is a killer whale about to reach adulthood, he is extraordinarily intelligent, and after receiving a luck boost, he will be even more formidable, roaming the oceans unchallenged, rarely meeting an opponent.

Holy shit!

Wu An had a moment of absentmindedness.

Has the system upgraded to the point where it can bestow luck value onto living beings?

Is this cheat a bit overpowered?

Wu An also didn't know if he could handle it; seeing that it required 100 luck points, he directly maxed out Hu Zi's luck, and the next moment Wu An clearly felt a vague connection between himself and Hu Zi.

Hu Zi also seemed to notice his own change, and he called out happily several times.

At that moment.

A Qing held a telescope in one hand and pointed at the sea with the other, shouting excitedly: "Brother, brother, another swordfish is swimming our way."

"It's swimming faster and faster."

"I can't see it clearly."

The swordfish's speed is too fast; A Qing can't catch its trail.

Wu An helped him pull down the telescope, saying: "You can see it clearly even without the telescope."

All that could be seen was the swordfish occasionally leaping out of the sea; each time it dove and leapt again, it appeared far away, looking as if it were teleporting.

A Qing shouted: "Hu Zi, go up!"

Hu Zi looked toward Wu An.

Wu An patted Hu Zi's head and said: "You can go up."

"Don't be careless."

"Watch out and dodge."

"The swordfish looks fierce, and it really is fierce; avoid its sharp edge and strike when it's unprepared."

A Qing shouted: "Brother, what's the point of your fancy words? Hu Zi, my brother means you should be sneaky, sneak attack him."

Hu Zi called out twice.

He immediately dove down.

The swordfish charged straight at the fishing boat; Wu An told everyone to hurry back to the helm.

Even with the bearded one's help, we still need to keep a steady hand.

On the sea.

But we absolutely cannot be reckless.

Wu An watched the swordfish approaching with a menacing aura, still feeling a bit of a gamble in his heart; he estimated the boat couldn't withstand a single jab from the swordfish—light damage would force an immediate return to port, heavy damage might even sink the ship outright.

If Hu Zi failed to intercept it in time, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Just as he was thinking that, he heard A Qing shout: "We've struck it rich! We've struck it rich!"

"With Hu Zi's help, we can definitely catch a lot of swordfish."

"We don't even have to do anything and we'll still make a big profit."

Mei Wu and the others were also very happy: "Whether we make money or not, we definitely need Hu Zi; otherwise our troubles would be huge."

Fan Dali even grabbed a loudspeaker and shouted: "Hu Zi, go for it!"

"Fuck him!"

"Ram him to death!"

Just as the words fell,

Suddenly the sea surface rippled, and the swordfish charging forward was directly flung up, spinning in the air as it moved forward.

Then,

Hu Zi dove down, raised his tail high, then slammed it hard onto the swordfish, smashing the swordfish into the water.

The sea surface churned.

Not long after,

The swordfish floated to the surface, then slowly approached the fishing boat.

It was Hu Zi pushing it up from below.

Wu An hurriedly thanked him and loudly praised Hu Zi for doing a great job.

A Qing, Mei Wu, and a few others together, with great effort, hauled the swordfish onto the deck, bled it, weighed it on the scale—it came to a full 689 catties!

Everyone was overjoyed.

Now the fishing boat already has seven swordfish; with this many swordfish, none were caught by hook—either they were trawled, the swordfish swam up on their own, or the killer whale delivered them.

If this were said out loud, probably nobody would believe it.

Hu Zi let out a call, dove into the sea, then opened his big mouth and charged into the dense school of fish, feasting heartily.

The fish school was extremely dense.

Wu An noticed this situation, opened the system, and found the fishing boat's luck value was plummeting rapidly; needless to say, the fish school was being hard‑controlled by the boat's luck value right here.

Once the fish school became dense, it was practically like a free buffet, its temptation instantly maxed out, and almost no large fish could resist.

Hu Zi then rushed over and gorged himself.

Moreover, the swordfish school that had been swimming nearby rushed into the fish frenzy, wildly slashing with their long snouts, cutting the small fish into pieces and then devouring them.

The taste of blood made the feeding swordfish even more frenzied.

As they ate,

they saw another large creature competing with them for food.

A killer whale!

Clever, huh.

As the saying goes, one who bears a sharp blade naturally harbors a killing intent!

For Swordfish born with long, sharp snouts, nothing in the ocean is beyond killing; Killer Whales are also on their menu.

And they rank very high.

They belong to the top‑tier ingredient bracket.

A few Swordfish, in perfect sync, closed in, then launched a charge forward and backward.

Hu Zi sensed danger.

A Swordfish had already lunged up close.

Swoosh.

The Swordfish suddenly swung its long snout to slash forward; the speed was such that it even formed a bubble sheath, greatly boosting the snout's killing power.

Hu Zi flicked its tail.

The long snout passed almost flush against Hu Zi's massive head.

The Swordfish and Hu Zi passed each other head‑on; when they were extremely close, their eyes were almost touching.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh.

The few Swordfish behind also charged.

Compared to the Swordfish, Hu Zi is much larger; to the Swordfish, he's just a big fat one, yet this very big fat one moves so nimbly that it makes their fish skins tingle.

Their staggered attacks were all evaded by Hu Zi.

If Swordfish were scientific, they'd shout "Impossible!"—this is damn unscientific!

Given their assault, not even a Killer Whale—let alone a Great White Shark—would remain whole; it would already be sliced into pieces.

This Killer Whale emerged completely unscathed!

A few Swordfish quickly turned around, confronting Hu Zi across the school.

Hu Zi was also astonished.

He shook his head, swished his tail, realized he was unharmed, and, delighted, spun around twice!

The Swordfish opposite instantly blew up with anger.

This damn thing is intolerable!

Hu Zi, seeing a few Swordfish charge, didn't foolishly meet them head‑on; instead he fled, not running straight but weaving around.

He basically circled around the fishing boat.

When he realized those Swordfish couldn't catch him, he occasionally darted into the school to snack a few bites for stamina, which infuriated the trailing Swordfish to the point their heads started smoking.

More and more Swordfish joined the fray, surrounding and blocking Hu Zi.

But Hu Zi was even more agile than a monkey, looping the Swordfish around the seabed like walking a dog; after a while, even he grew weary.

He quickly whistled.

Signal sent!

Killer Whales are highly social animals; as the most stable family in the animal kingdom, clan members watch over each other, sharing food, drink, and waste collectively, and thus possess a unique communication ability.

Their calls travel far, reaching clan members several or even tens of kilometers away.

In distant waters, the Orca Pod heard Hu Zi's distress call; the lead whale instantly changed course, guiding the pod to surge at full speed toward the direction of Hu Zi's signal.
