Chapter 372: Chapter 305: One Steamed! One Braised!_2

If the End Cat can’t deliver a fatal blow, it will step in to finish the job.

"Huh? Hooked another one? Judging by the commotion, could it be another Fish King?"

The nearby contestants couldn’t help but cast their gaze toward Chen Mo.

Chen Mo calmly began reeling it in, and a 5-meter-long fish with a slender neck and dragon-like features emerged from the water. Its sides had red membrane wings resembling sails.

"It’s the Red Scale Flying Dragon Fish King!!"

This Red Scale Flying Dragon Fish King was extremely rare, much rarer than the previous Sea Perch King, and it had been years since anyone had caught such a Fish King.

But at this moment, all the majesty of the Dragon Fish King had vanished; its tail was spraying like an automatic machine gun, looking utterly defeated and despondent.

It’s worth mentioning that the damage from the "Clean and Hygienic" entry was extremely strong!

Especially its psychic damage!

The moment it surfaced, the Red Scale Flying Dragon Fish King felt it had plunged into an endless darkness.

A place without light.

Moli, who had been gathering strength for a long time, silently approached and unleashed an Instant Thunder Claw at the Fish King’s abdomen.

Sss—

The sharp claws created a long gash, and in the next moment, shadow lightning began to flicker wildly on the Fish King’s body.

"Ang!"

The Red Scale Flying Dragon Fish King let out an angry roar, releasing a circle of scarlet flames 7 to 8 meters high, spreading outward like tidal waves.

But after the successful hit, Moli had already made a hasty retreat.

This Red Spirit Flying Dragon Fish King was too hot to handle; even a brief contact had singed the fur around its claw.

After releasing this explosive circle of flame, the aura of the Red Phosphorus Flying Dragon Fish King quickly weakened, but it had not yet completely passed out.

The End Cat made a return trip and with another Instant Thunder Claw, successfully electrocuted it unconscious, while Chen Mo took the opportunity to pull it ashore.

"Meow~"

The End Cat exhaled a breath; this "assassination" was nearly perfect.

However, the life force of a Monarch Level spiritual beast was high, far too strong, making it tough to finish it off instantly, even with a critical hit.

Witnessing this scene, the Shrine Maiden who had been scoring was momentarily stunned.

She hadn’t even had time to rest! How did you catch another Fish King already!?

In the end, the points for this Red Spirit Flying Dragon Fish King were calculated to be 24,500.

His points were far ahead!

One hour later.

Seeing the four Fish Kings and nearly ten Commander Stage spirit fish swimming in Chen Mo’s fish tank, the spectators from the tribe were utterly shocked.

On average, a fish every five minutes was being caught! That includes the time for reeling in and fighting the fish!

Basically, as soon as Chen Mo’s hook hit the water, a fish got hooked!

Are you here to restock from Flame Lake?

Are these foreigners all such high-level fishing masters!?

Not far away, the headman of the Red Teeth Village, Xia Ping, eyed the white fox beside Chen Mo with envy in his eyes.

"This white fox, it’s the real divine artifact for fishing!"

Currently, besides Chen Mo, the other contestants had at most caught one Fish King.

Yet, though Chen Mo appeared as steady as a veteran, inwardly he was somewhat tense and anxious.

Because he couldn’t catch any more Fish Kings.

The four Fish Kings in the tank were all caught during the first half-hour.

It wasn’t that Flame Lake was devoid of Fish Kings, but rather at this position and depth, the remaining Fish Kings, seeing others not return, did not dare to easily bite the hook.

Resisting temptation.

Delicacies are precious, but life is even more so!

Chen Mo had no choice but to continually adjust the depth, catching some Commander-level spiritual beasts to solidify his first-place position.

But this wasn’t a solution!

The gap between Fish Kings and Commander-level Fish is too vast! One Fish King is equivalent to almost 100 Commander-level spirit fish!

At this moment, a significant commotion arose from a hundred meters away when an elderly man with grizzled hair and a square face exerted all his strength to pull his fishing rod.

A Volcano Turtle King was pulled out of the water, then lifted into the fish tank amidst the group assault by his spiritual beasts.

This elder was the headman of Chi Lin Village, and this was already his second Fish King caught.

Moreover, the Volcano Turtle King, with a giant volcano on its shell, was of Monarch Fourth Rank and quite rare, earning over 30,000 points when converted!

Chen Mo’s previous actions had caused many Fish Kings to err on the side of caution, unwilling to bite the bait.

Besides, the spirit fish could quickly communicate and exchange information with one another, affecting other competitors to some extent.

But some people were exceptions, like the old headman of Chi Lin Village.

His spiritual fishing rod mastered a powerful psychic technique, transforming fish bait into the favorite food or small fish of spiritual fish, coupled with near-invisible fishing lines, making it almost impossible for spiritual fish to guard against.

But this was far from over, as moments later, a renowned Spirit Fisherman named Chi Yun not far from him caught a second Fish King.

On his fishing rod, he didn’t even have bait attached; it was truly a case of- willing fish get hooked.

The reason the old man didn’t bother attaching bait was that his spiritual rod possessed the Monarch Domain as it was a Monarch Level Beast.

Moreover, the Monarch Domain of this spiritual fishing pole was an enchantment type, affecting all spirit fish within the hook’s range, driving them irrational and causing them to bite!

"It’s absurd, a fishing rod with its Monarch Domain."

Chen Mo couldn’t help but mutter to himself as he turned his gaze towards the fish tank where the spirit fish were kept.

The Fire Perch King had already woken up a little while ago, and upon waking it started berating Chen Mo through psychic transmission.

However, as a fish, its spiritual power was very weak, and so the psychic transmission was fragmented, with only half of it audible.

Chen Mo, annoyed by it, directly "rejected" the spiritual transmission from the Fire Perch King.

Even so, the Fire Perch King continued opening and closing its mouth persistently, making an apparent effort at "friendly communication."

(&%￥#@!)

After closing off his beast language talent, Chen Mo couldn’t comprehend what it was cursing, but instinctively knew it was probably something foul.

"Alright, stop cursing; I can offer you a chance to survive!"

Chen Mo communicated with the Fire Perch King using beast language.

For this fishing tournament, all spirit fish caught belonged to the individual, with Chen Mo having the option to sell, contract, or even consume them after the contest.

Initially, the cursing Fire Perch King was momentarily stunned, as it hadn’t expected a human capable of direct dialogue with it.

"Huff?" (Really?)

The Fire Perch King tilted its head.

"As long as you do as I say. Later, I’ll release you; you’ll go and tell the other Fish Kings that there’s no danger above, and that consuming my bait holds no risk. Or perhaps announce to Fish Kings in other regions that there’s food here. If you help me catch three more Fish Kings, I’ll spare your life."

"I will never..."

The Fire Perch King conveyed with "righteousness," attempting to speak with Chen Mo through psychic communication.

However, due to its overly weak spiritual power, it broke off halfway.

"You can just speak directly; I can understand."

Said Chen Mo.

"Huff!" (I won’t betray my peers!)

The Fire Perch King spat a bubble, eyes filled with resolve and righteousness.

"Since you won’t be the fish traitor, I’ll just have to make others do it. It’s unfortunate; otherwise, you could’ve lived."

Chen Mo stated with a face full of regret, turning his gaze toward the Wish-making White Fox and End Cat.

"Jiu Bao, Moli, we’ll have fish tonight; would you prefer braised or steamed?"

"Woof~" (Both ways~)

"Meow!" (One steamed! One braised!)

The food-loving End Cat meowed twice.

"Huff!" (I’ll go, I’ll go!)

Upon hearing this, the Fire Perch King quickly spoke up.

Among Fish Kings, there wasn’t any deep friendship to begin with, the Fire Perch King’s reluctance stemmed purely from skepticism of Chen Mo’s sincerity.

Humph, humans are the most cunning!

"Wait a minute, to ensure safety, I’ll give you a poison pill. Without the antidote, you’ll start experiencing diarrhea continuously until death in half a day."

As he spoke, Chen Mo fed a Malteser to the Fire Perch King.

Hearing this, the Fire Perch King was utterly horrified, trembling head-to-fin, with memories of earlier events leading to no disbelief in the pill’s efficacy.

"Go!"

Finished speaking, Chen Mo cast it back into Flame Lake.
