121: Anti-Sky Sword

Shengmen Town, Snack Street.

On a summer night, the street was bustling with people, brightly lit, and very lively.

"Mommy, I want to buy this! This is so fun!"

"Hey, slow down."

"Honey, try this."

No one knew that right next to this lively Snack Street, in the river, a giant creature was lurking.

Su Yuan raised his head, looked behind him, and sensed some movement.

"That direction... that should be the lake where I fought the Big Black Fish, right?"

Su Yuan muttered to himself, his mind deep in thought.

Could that Big Black Fish still be there?

No, not necessarily.

It’s also possible that people from the Mysterious Organization have arrived and encountered the national forces.

Undoubtedly, the people sent by the Mysterious Organization this time must be even stronger than last time.

Last time, if he hadn't used their own plans against them to launch a sneak attack, it wouldn't have been easy to end the battle.

The strength of the people sent by the Mysterious Organization this time might even surpass his current strength, it’s not impossible.

Su Yuan never felt that his strength was already very great; the Mysterious Organization, with its astonishing high-tech, truly had many ways to deal with him if it wanted to.

Su Yuan was also unsure if his current Intermediate disguise could evade the detection of the Mysterious Organization's battle armor.

"Be cautious. After I develop further, I’ll go and eliminate them."

Su Yuan whispered to himself, lowering the amplitude of his movements, maintaining his disguised state throughout.

The surrounding fish resources were abundant; the riverbed was teeming with River Prawns/Shrimp and crabs, forming a tripartite balance with Tilapia and Suckerfish.

In the middle and upper layers of the water, plump Bighead Carp and Large Carp swam back and forth, making Su Yuan's mouth water.

All of this was due to the Spiritual Energy Resurgence; the rivers of the past never had such a sight.

Both in terms of size and quantity, they were far inferior to what they were now.

If Su Yuan had undergone Rebirth in an ordinary era, he would have already rushed into the ocean.

The freshwater rivers of an ordinary era couldn't sustain a giant beast like him.

"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile."

Su Yuan controlled his movements, targeting the creatures on the riverbed. Eight tentacles swept out, grabbing one Suckerfish and Tilapia after another, not missing the large crabs and River Prawns/Shrimp either.

Influenced by his octopus body, Su Yuan also had a fondness for large crabs and large River Prawns/Shrimp.

【You devoured a Tilapia, gaining 1.2 evolution points.】

【You devoured a Suckerfish, gaining 1.4 evolution points.】

【You devoured a Chinese Mitten Crab, gaining 0.5 evolution points.】

...Su Yuan devoured quickly, but also with restraint, to avoid attracting people from the national forces or the Mysterious Organization.

The number of fish, River Prawns/Shrimp, and crabs around was too great, not just hundreds or thousands. Under Su Yuan's restrained devouring, they became restless and began to swim in all directions.

Fearing to attract attention, Su Yuan didn't use his Claws to string these fish, River Prawns/Shrimp, and crabs this time. Instead, he used his suckers to directly grasp them and toss them into his gaping abyssal maw.

It truly resembled an abyssal maw; no matter how many fish, River Prawns/Shrimp, and crabs were thrown in, there was no sign of it ever being full.

Through long-term devouring and evolution, Su Yuan was now increasingly adept at devouring these small fish.

Above the abyssal maw, fish, River Prawns/Shrimp, and crabs were constantly being flicked in by Su Yuan with skillful force, one by one, tentacles alternating, with very little commotion.

The System's notification sound was like the most beautiful music playing, and Su Yuan's eight tentacles moved like a dance accompanying the music, performing.

Just then, a wine bottle was thrown into the river, landing right above Su Yuan.

Some residual alcohol seeped out, letting Su Yuan taste a long-lost flavor.

"Is this beer?"

Su Yuan cracked a smile, a little intoxicated. Before his Rebirth, he wasn't a drunkard; he only had a few sips when gathering with friends.

But now, perhaps because of his Rebirth as an octopus, upon encountering the taste of alcohol after so long, Su Yuan felt a craving rise within him.

However, who gave you the guts to throw a beer bottle right on top of my head?

The moment Su Yuan felt Life Qi, he wanted to use Mind Whisper on that person.

However, he still restrained himself.

After all, this small matter wasn't a capital offense. The two people, Manager Yang and his associate, earlier were because they discharged sewage, affecting his living environment, which was why he had murderous intent.

Those tragically deceased workers were also for testing his abilities. Now that he basically understood the situation, there was no need for such actions anymore.

But just as Su Yuan was convincing himself to calm down...

On the Snack Street.

"Damn these monsters! Why doesn't the government do something and wipe them all out!"

At a roadside stall by the riverbank, a group of people were eating supper and drinking. One of them suddenly grabbed a beer bottle, yelled frantically, and then threw the beer bottle out, over the barbed wire, and into the river.

"Hey, A Xin, sit down!"

The others drinking with him quickly pulled him back to his seat.

"Cowards! Are you scared?! Was it only my wife who was bitten to death by the monsters in the river? A Le, have you forgotten your son? You useless person, you're just going to let it go?!"

"Do you have any guts? I've brought all my gear! If you have guts, follow me and let's do this! Those bastards in the government won't act, so I'll do it myself!"

The man, eyes red and veins bulging, roared to the sky. His frantic demeanor made it impossible for some to stop him.

"Does anyone have guts?! Are you going to live with monsters forever?!"

The man's frantic shouts finally resonated with some.

"Damn it! Let's do it! Tell us how!"

On the crowded Snack Street, several burly men wiped tears from their faces, stood up, and shouted.

The crowd watched this scene silently, no one stopping them. Only a few people quickly called the Public Security Office.

"Someone come help me! I'll let these monsters taste high-voltage electricity!"

A Xin, face flushed and eyes filled with madness, ran directly to his car and brought out a series of equipment.

He was the worker responsible for maintaining the power grid in Shengmen Town.

"Alright!"

Several burly men, their eyes gleaming with hatred, walked over and cut open the barbed wire.

"A Xin..."

A Xin's friends, seeing this scene, exchanged glances and also went over to help.

As A Xin and a burly man put on their gear and climbed a utility pole by the river, after some operations, a high-voltage power line was cut short and fell into the river.

At the bottom of the river, Su Yuan had already swum a certain distance away, watching silently.

As the high-voltage power line fell into the river, terrifying currents raged, immediately electrocuting many fish, River Prawns/Shrimp, and crabs. Large fish flipped onto their backs and floated to the surface.

In the blink of an eye, this affected stretch of the river was covered with large fish.

Among them, there were quite a few large fish exceeding two meters in length.

Especially some of the Snakehead Fish, Chinese Chub, and Minnow (or a type of local fish) among them, their sharp teeth were even more startling.

Their abnormally large size, coupled with their teeth, attracted onlookers from outside.

"Good, good, good! Electrocute them! All of you monsters, go to hell!"

A Xin, on the utility pole, laughed and shouted as he looked at the scene on the river.

The burly men at the base of the utility pole also clenched their fists, their eyes revealing expressions of hatred and satisfaction.

"Oh, it seems something might vent my anger for me."

"In this world, both in the past and in the future, the law of the jungle is eternal and unchanging. Those who cannot adapt will eventually be eliminated!"

Su Yuan shifted his gaze to the darkness in the distance. He had no interest in what A Xin was saying.

Now, he was the strong one, and he would only get stronger!

His only concern was his Chief Eldest Disciple, but with his injuries, he probably wouldn't be able to move conveniently for at least half a month.

In the dark river water, a large, dark gray fish swam over from afar.

This large fish was about ten meters long and very strange; it had no pelvic, anal, or caudal fins, only a dorsal fin that ran the entire length of its body, even longer than a Thunder Dragon Fish's dorsal fin.

Its eyes were small, and its mouth was slightly smaller compared to a Thunder Dragon Fish and a Fanged Fish.

"Sky-Reversing Blade Fish?"

Su Yuan recognized the origin of this fish. It was a fierce freshwater fish called the Sky-Reversing Blade Fish or Nile Perch by players, with astonishing bite force, known as the 'underwater hydraulic clamp'.

Of course, its bite force was not the strongest among freshwater fish; a Black Piranha of the same size had the strongest bite force among all freshwater fish today.

Su Yuan felt that the bite force of the Doghead Fish and Giant Tooth Fish might not be weaker than the Sky-Reversing Blade Fish.
