Chapter 823

100 sea mist gu, directly yielding over 1,000 dual attributes and around 1,000 days of yang lifespan.

This profit is literally like counting money until your hands cramp.

Fang Yue was nearly laughing until he couldn't close his mouth.

My god, what kind of divine spawn point is this? It's absolutely exhilarating!

For higher-level Yun-class powerhouses, even if the number of disaster-level gu increases, the returns are far inferior to the energy expended.

And for warriors of the same level, on this Han Jiang, merely resisting the mysterious mist already drains all their effort—they likely can't even encounter the true form of sea mist gu.

But none of these things are problems for Fang Yue.

Though he is the same level as sea mist gu, his strength far surpasses theirs.

Moreover, these sea mist gu, perhaps long accustomed to dominating the Han Jiang, have extremely low vigilance.

Captain Duo said sea mist gu used to lurk about a hundred meters away from the Han Jiang giant ship, but in reality, they were clinging tightly to the hull, densely drifting, showing not a trace of danger awareness.

That's why Fang Yue could so easily, like a harvester, ruthlessly slaughter the sea mist gu population.

"More! I need more sea mist gu!"

Fang Yue's eyes gleamed, and he immediately took the giant fan to another nearby spot.

The thick mist blew away, the black silk plunged into the water like fishing, instantly harvesting over seventy sea mist gu.

Following the strategy of "shoot and move," Fang Yue took his gains and immediately switched direction, repeating the same method.

In no time, he had harvested every sea mist gu around him.

Altogether, he calculated, he had killed over a thousand sea mist gu.

His attributes surged past 40,000, reaching peak value, and the excess began converting into 【Jingjie Breakthrough Progress】.

Open attribute list.

"Control Power: 40020 【Base: 40000 / Reached Jingjie Limit】 【Status/Bonus: +20】."

"Dissipate Power: 40020 【Base: 40000 / Reached Jingjie Limit】 【Status/Bonus: +20】."

Maybe, with this wave of sea mist gu, I can directly break through to Mid-Level Human Realm?

Fang Yue's heart thrilled—he'd played many games and loved the feeling of grinding mobs.

But in this game, he'd never once experienced that grinding sensation.

Every time a gu appeared, it was an absurdly powerful individual, mostly acting alone.

Even when encountering gu groups, they were always dangerously threatening—not grindable mobs, but entities you had to flee from the moment you saw them.

Only these stupidly naive sea mist gu were truly the kings of free kills, slaying them giving an intense, satisfying "mowing grass without limit" thrill.

In this instant, Fang Yue truly felt he was a player, playing a game—not barely surviving inside it.

"System Prompt: Congratulations, Player 【Yese Liming】, you have slain 【Sea Mist Gu】, reward: Control Power +0, Dissipate Power +0, Yang Lifespan +10 days."

"System Prompt: Congratulations, Player 【Yese Liming】, your Control Power has reached the Jingjie limit and has been converted into 【Jingjie Breakthrough Progress】."

"System Prompt: Congratulations, Player 【Yese Liming】, your Dissipate Power has reached the Jingjie limit and has been converted into 【Jingjie Breakthrough Progress】."

Listening to the continuous system prompts in his ears, Fang Yue kept moving his hands, savoring the joy of fish bombing.

Opportunities are truly everywhere.

Who would have thought that in such a perilous Han Jiang, there'd be a place like a spawn point, letting him slay sea mist gu without restraint?

For the first time, Fang Yue developed a strong interest in slaying gu.

And most importantly, those sea mist gu seemed to have only three-second memories.

Even though they'd just been slaughtered en masse here, soon after, scattered ones—like curious fish from elsewhere—drifted over to gather.

This behavior made Fang Yue extremely busy, both pained and delighted.

He was like a "charitable" capital owner: when the leeks grew here, he harvested; when they piled up there, he controlled.

Centered on the Han Jiang giant ship, he darted along the deck's edge, running here and there, gaining massive rewards.

But as Fang Yue became increasingly frequent and greedy in clearing sea mist gu around the Han Jiang giant ship, he noticed gradually that the sea mist gu stopped returning…

Could it be… that I've exploited them too harshly?

But 996 is a blessing!

Damn it, don't these sea mist gu have any gratitude? Hurry back to the Han Jiang giant ship and let me give you loving whippings!

Watching the dwindling sea mist gu, Fang Yue finally felt anxious, resisting several times the urge to strike the small groups of just five or six that had just gathered.

He even earnestly asked Captain Duo what sea mist gu usually ate, what water temperature they preferred, and what could attract them to gather—questions about a sea mist gu cultivation plan.

Captain Duo's expression turned bizarre, looking at Fang Yue as if he were insane.

He'd merely thought Fang Yue could descend into the river and perhaps eliminate some sea mist gu, never imagining Fang Yue, just standing on the ship, wiped out a huge portion with zero risk.

This guy… his strength is truly absurd—he doesn't look like a Human Realm warrior at all!

And when Fang Yue asked how to cultivate sea mist gu, even the ever-well-traveled Captain Duo hung his head in shame—he truly didn't know!

Who in their right mind would waste time studying gu ecological environments?

Normally, encountering gu means only one outcome: you die or I die—no one considers anything else.

Fortunately, after getting no answer from Captain Duo, Fang Yue returned to the deck's edge, pacing like a lord inspecting his own fish pond—sometimes frowning, sometimes sighing, face etched with worry, as if lamenting this year's low sea mist gu yield and pondering how to expand the area next year or improve their feed.

"You're the Han Jiang fishpond owner??"

Captain Duo was truly stunned, feeling all his years had been lived as a dog—could there really be people like this in this world??

During the crossing of Han Jiang, the only person hoping for more gu to appear was surely this one individual.

As Captain Duo was thinking this, he saw Fang Yue suddenly change expression and let out a horrific scream.

Before Captain Duo could ask, Fang Yue had already leapt frantically out of the ship, wind pressure blasting ahead, stepping on the river surface and dashing forward.

Captain Duo looked closely and noticed—the few remaining "sea mist gu fry" had, at some point, as if receiving a signal, all swam together in one direction, leaving the edge of the Han Jiang giant ship.

Fang Yue's scream was because the fry had run off—he panicked and chased after them.

Treading on the Han River, Fang Yue's speed was not slow, and he soon caught up with the shoal of fry.

And ahead of the shoal of fry, layer upon layer within layer upon layer, dense swarms of Sea Mist Wraiths gathered, converging on a single spot like fountains and colliding with one another.

This sight left Fang Yue stunned, and then overjoyed!

Sea Mist Wraiths, here I come!

Yet the next moment, at the spot where those Sea Mist Wraiths were colliding, the river surface suddenly tore open, forming a massive spiral whirlpool!
