Chapter 291 Merciless Lobsters

In the level-two fishery, the dazzling sun covered the waves with golden radiance. It was quite a magnificent view.

It had been two months since Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan came to the level-two fishery. Since Qu Jinnan and Ling Yuan were with them, Han Fei could not explore the dangerous places.

But of course, there were still things they could do. Xia Xiaochan, for one, had discovered that there seemed to be something frigid deep down in the water that was colder than usual.

At this point, Xia Xiaochan was shaking her legs in the water on the back of the Giant Arowana. Not far away, tremendous amounts of seaweed were now turning into nets and now spears, catching a couple of Iron-Head Fish now and then.

Above the seaweed, Ling Yuan was fighting a gigantic lobster with two swords, which caused ear splitting sounds when they hit the lobster’s pincers.

While kicking the water, Xia Xiaochan shouted, “Ling Yuan, you are an armorist, not a soul warrior. You can control your swords, but don’t fight with your swords… Also, Qu Jinnan, are you trying to farm in the ocean by creating so much seaweed? A manipulator is supposed to restrict an enemy? What have you done? Providing a battle environment in favor of the enemy?”

Hardly had Xia Xiaochan finished when all the seaweeds were focused at the center and spread to that gigantic lobster. Very soon, the lobster was almost fully tied up by seaweeds. The lobster tried to break free, but the tensile seaweeds were stuck to its joints.

Clank, Clank, Clank…

Dozens of swords flew out of Ling Yuan’s weapon box at a corner on the lobster’s head, finally executing the creature. A moment later, the seaweeds changed into the shape of a human, and Qu Jinnan scratched his head awkwardly, “Senior sister…”

Xia Xiaochan waved her hands. “Go make food on the boat. I’ll go to the bottom of the ocean and see what Han Fei is doing.”

As it turned out, Han Fei found a habitat of Mantis Shrimp in the level-two fishery. It was a seabed full of pebbles and sand that was filled with holes.

Every time the fish passed by looking for food from the sand, a Mantis Shrimp would suddenly jump out of the hole and capture them.

At this point, sand and smoke was rising from one of the caves.

BAM!

The cave collapsed, and two enormous Mantis Shrimps were doing unspeakable things right next to each other.

Han Fei’s face was gloomily. “Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp, that’s enough! I’ve watched a long time! Are you done yet?”

The Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp waved its tails and tried to nuzzle him, but Han Fei simply kicked it away.

Han Fei said, “I’ll give you another hundred seconds. If you’re still not done, I’ll cook

you.”

Suddenly, Han Fei turned around, only to see Xia Xiaochan staring at the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp in confusion, her eyes widened.

Han Fei blushed. “Well… Actually, I’m only here to set up the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp with a girlfriend. It will be over soon.”

Xia Xiaochan said angrily, “You’re really gross!”

Han Fei was speechless. Why am I gross? It’s the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp that’s gross, alright? It must be because the creature has been single for too long.

Angrily, Han Fei punched out, and another Mantis Shrimp swam out of a cave in fury and slapped with a seal that was as huge as a mountain.

A moment later, Han Fei swam upward with a Mantis Shrimp almost four meters long. He couldn’t stay here anymore. It was too embarrassing.

On the boat, Han Fei’s teammates were all shocked to see him return with a Mantis Shrimp. Is it really appropriate to eat a Mantis Shrimp right in front of the Nine-tailed Mantis Shrimp?

Han Fei snorted. “You make better Mantis Shrimp. Ling Yuan, shell it…”

A moment later, the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp returned. It lowered its head and trembled in fear when it saw the shell of the Mantis Shrimp on the boat.

Qu Jinnan suggested, “Senior brother, why don’t you recall the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp?”

Han Fei snorted. “No. I would rather let it watch this.”

The Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp secretly peeped at Han Fei, feeling that it didn’t deserve this because it had done nothing more than seek a girlfriend.

Not caring about any of that, Xia Xiaochan grabbed a piece of lobster meat and asked, “Are we going back tomorrow?”

Han Fei said, “We didn’t find the place you mentioned anyway. We should head back now.”

Then, he looked at Qu Jinnan and Ling Yuan. “Do you think you can make a breakthrough to be great fishing masters now?”

Qu Jinnan shook his head. “Senior brother, I think my body hardness is not good enough yet.”

Han Fei waved his hand. “You can make a breakthrough now. Your body hardness is as good as a peak fishing master right now. However, breakthroughs require opportunities, and we can’t look for them for you.”

Ling Yuan nodded. “Thank you, senior brother and senior sister.”

They had been hoping for a breakthrough for a long time, and they immediately started trying.

For other people, it might seem impossible, but in Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan’s eyes, it was only natural. Those two wouldn’t be geniuses at all if they couldn’t become great fishing masters after a year of hard training with the help of cultivation arts and spiritual fish.

Although everybody had tremendous fun last year, they did everything they were supposed to do.

Le Renkuang could control a horrifying number of weapons and was almost as good as Li Hanyi now. After all, it was not an easy task to prune with Torrents of Knives and Swords.

Luo Xiaobai discovered a new ability. She could attach herself to plants and travel among them. It was really a marvelous skill.

Zhang Xuanyu was the most frequent visitor of the ocean. He had created two battle techniques himself, which were quite impressive, and needed to practice the techniques in the ocean.

It was needless to mention Xia Xiaochan, who spent half a year training during the last year. She had fully grasped her Wanderer Swimming Art, her heaven-level technique, making her the fastest of the team. Han Fei could barely catch her even with Little Gold and the Shadow Swimming Art.

As for Han Fei himself, he had made most progress in arrays in the past year.

He had imitated all the arrays listed in the Spirit Gathering Scripture. Although he had only grabbed the Spirit Gathering Scripture, he had learned the basics of other arrays in the book, such as Soul Trapping Array, Spiritual Energy Barrier, Stealth Array, Spiritual Explosion Array, etc., in more than thirty categories.

Of course, those minor arrays did not make Han Fei stronger, but they made him an expert with more capabilities.

Apart from the arrays, the energy inside Han Fei had been mostly digested. Though his level was not improved, his Indestructible Body was even sturdier. Not just his skin, but his internal organs were tough now too.

It was definitely a dangerous thing to make a breakthrough on the ocean, particularly for the rookies like Qu Jinnan and Ling Yuan.

Of course, there was nothing to worry about since Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan were here. Han Fei kicked the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp and said, “Go and kill all the fish that attempt to draw clear.”

Xia Xiaochan snorted. “It’s really unlucky to be your spiritual beast!”

Han Fei chuckled. “You have no idea how happy it was just now.”

Frowning, Xia Xiaochan asked, “We’ve been here for two months. Why did you not capture a contractual spiritual beast for them?”

Han Fei was lost for words. “Should we also help them to be Dangling Fishers? Certain things have to be done by themselves. When we capture the exotic contractual spiritual beasts, although Xiaobai led the way for us, we captured them by ourselves, didn’t we?”

Xia Xiaochan thought for a moment. “That does make sense. Let’s just give them the map that we marked and ask them to do it on their own.”

Han Fei nodded unconcernedly and said, “We’re going to the level-three fishery after we return, won’t we?”

Xia Xiaochan stretched out her arms. “That’s right! I’m dying now after a year of boredom.”

As she spoke, Xia Xiaochan jumped backward into the water from the deck. Lying on the surface of the sea, she said delighted, “It’s fun in the ocean… I’m not farming material.”

Han Fei said, “Come here. You’re jumping into the water when the food is ready?”

Xia Xiaochan proposed, “Let’s make a breakthrough too! If everything goes well, Xiaobai and the rest of them are probably Dangling Fishers now.”

In the next second, Xia Xiaochan flashed to the hotpot, making Han Fei lost for words. Do you have to flaunt that you can flash to another location?

Xia Xiaochan said, “For some reason, I always feel that my spiritual energy is redundant, and I want to consume some of it.”

Han Fei was speechless. Are you flaunting your abilities again? Right then, spiritual energy suddenly surged out of Xia Xiaochan, with redness in the middle of it.

Han Fei’s face changed greatly, and he rose to his feet immediately.

Not good. Why is she suddenly having an attack?
