131: Hoplias Aymara

In the Yangtze River.

A chilling swarm of Red-bellied Piranhas completely covered a large creature, hunting it in a way that would make anyone tremble.

Just then, eight terrifying tentacles broke through the Red-bellied Piranha's encirclement. Each sucker and Claws on the tentacles held Red-bellied Piranhas, which were then sent into the large beak.

"This is still too slow!"

Su Yuan muttered, stopping the movement of his tentacles and instead concentrating on controlling the surrounding water flow.

The river water, as if alive, flowed and swept away Red-bellied Piranhas, one after another, into Su Yuan's beak.

You have devoured a Nasser's Deep-sea Characin (a type of fish) and gained 11 evolution points.

You have devoured a Nasser's Deep-sea Characin (a type of fish) and gained 10.3 evolution points.

...Su Yuan's speed in gaining evolution points instantly rocketed.

Every second, at least a dozen Red-bellied Piranhas were swept into the large beak.

Even the vast numbers of Red-bellied Piranhas could not withstand such losses; their numbers visibly dwindled.

Moreover, no matter how fiercely their sharp teeth bit, they could not break through Su Yuan's defense.

This made the Red-bellied Piranhas, accustomed to dominating everything in their path, uneasy and they began to contemplate fleeing.

Soon, some Red-bellied Piranhas stopped attacking Su Yuan and turned to escape.

"They want to fight when they see me, and run when they can't win. Is there such a good thing in the world?"

Su Yuan keenly sensed this, and the abundant energy within him suddenly erupted!

The surrounding river water's flow rate instantly increased by a large margin, far exceeding the speed it should have in the middle and lower reaches. It became faster and faster, gradually forming a huge vortex that trapped almost all the surrounding Red-bellied Piranhas.

The terrifying river water, with the formation of the vortex, continued to change. The river water, carrying the Red-bellied Piranhas, gradually became high-pressure and sharp.

This was Su Yuan developing a new application of Water Control Technique. The terrifying current, like a knife, was gradually cutting the Red-bellied Piranhas.

Initially, these currents could not cut through the Red-bellied Piranhas' mutated hard scales, but as Su Yuan adjusted and became more skilled, the current also became increasingly sharp.

Gradually, a touch of pink appeared in the river water.

When Su Yuan stopped casting, the surroundings were covered with injured Red-bellied Piranhas. Many had cuts, and some severely wounded ones were on their last breath.

Su Yuan immediately began to devour them. The uninjured Red-bellied Piranhas, dizzy from the vortex, were powerless to resist or escape.

Su Yuan activated Water Control Technique again, not even needing his tentacles. The river water flowed, sweeping up Red-bellied Piranhas one by one and sending them into his gaping abyss-like maw.

You have devoured a Nasser's Deep-sea Characin (a type of fish) and gained 10.8 evolution points.

You have devoured a Nasser's Deep-sea Characin (a type of fish) and gained 10.6 evolution points.

...This was an astonishing sight. Su Yuan remained motionless, while the river water delivered these Nasser's Deep-sea Characins, temporarily deprived of their ability to resist, one by one into his large beak.

In just over ten minutes, the river water gradually returned to normal, and not a single Red-bellied Piranha, which had previously densely covered the area, could be seen.

"This wave of harvest is estimated to be Heaven-Defying."

A smile appeared on Su Yuan's octopus-like face.

evolution points: 125800 / 140000 (Devouring psionic energy is increasing)

"This wave, over a hundred thousand evolution points!"

Su Yuan burst out laughing. It truly lived up to its name, the Red-bellied Piranha, these evolution points were worthy of the title.

Next, only a little over ten thousand evolution points were needed, and he could Evolve again today!

"Alright, let's continue searching for my future dependents."

Su Yuan continued to swim forward. As he proceeded, the creatures in the Yangtze River once again flourished.

The creatures in the previous waters, without a doubt, must have been partially eaten by the Red-bellied Piranhas and mostly scared away.

Even for Red-bellied Piranhas, their appetite could not possibly consume so many creatures.

Only he, a cheat-like existence, could devour endlessly.

"Devouring Evolution cannot be neglected either."

Su Yuan's eight tentacles, in a disguised state, launched an attack.

A Silver Carp, over five meters long, was leisurely swimming in the upper water column. Suddenly, it was pulled by an invisible force, and then swallowed by a fleeting abyss-like maw.

You have devoured a Silver Carp and gained 450 evolution points.

A giant Eel was searching for prey at the bottom of the river. Suddenly, it was lifted from the riverbed by an invisible force, and then swallowed by a revealed large beak.

You have devoured an Eel and gained 200 evolution points.

Larger creatures were prioritized by Su Yuan as targets for consumption.

In the Yangtze River, the numbers of Suckerfish and Tilapia were not as exaggerated as in rivers and lakes.

With the increasingly intense spiritual energy resurgence, many creatures' teeth were sharp enough to devour Suckerfish.

Omnivorous Tilapia also faced more and more challenges.

Su Yuan saw some Gudgeons, already quite large, hunting slow-moving Scavenger (Fish/Organism)s.

He also saw some Minnows (or a type of local fish), Mandarin Fish, etc., hunting Tilapia.

Perhaps, the breeding frequency of some fish species was already comparable to that of Tilapia.

"Oh my, is that a Finless Porpoise?"

Su Yuan suddenly saw a figure, estimated to be about eight meters long, a few hundred meters away.

This fish was entirely greyish-white, somewhat resembling a dolphin, but its head was blunt and round, looking somewhat Honest and cute, and the teeth in its mouth were not sharp.

"Its size is good, and it's a carnivore, but its appearance and combat strength just feel inadequate."

Su Yuan murmured faintly, somewhat hesitant about whether to transform this Finless Porpoise into his first dependent.

"Let's test it first to see if it has any special abilities. If not, it will be my lunch and evolution points."

Su Yuan made up his mind and, in his disguised state, approached silently.

Suddenly, he stopped moving, his gaze fixed on the distance, having discovered something.

At this moment, the Yangtze Finless Porpoise also became visibly uneasy and swam quickly towards Su Yuan's direction.

But soon, a gaping, blood-spitting maw suddenly emerged behind it, biting off half of the Yangtze Finless Porpoise's body in one gulp!

Blood stained the river water!

Su Yuan did not attack, remaining in place, observing the suddenly appearing fish with interest.

This fish was very large, much larger than the Yangtze Finless Porpoise, reaching thirty meters in length!

Such a size indicated that its talent was definitely very high!

What interested Su Yuan most was that the fish's entire body was dark brown, or rather blackish-brown, with dense dark red patterns.

The fish's head was a large proportion of its body, and its mouth was wide. Sharp teeth could be seen from its mouth, leaving no doubt that it could bite through steel or even alloys!

"It's actually a Hoplias aimara!"

Su Yuan was somewhat surprised. This was a type of Fanged Fish, and unlike the Seven-Colored Toothed Fish Su Yuan had encountered before.

The Seven-Colored Toothed Fish was merely an entry-level species among Wolf Fish (general classification)es. This Hoplias aimara, however, belonged to a type of Giant Tooth Fish, considered the so-called 'graduated version'.

Giant Tooth Fish, whether in size or temperament, generally far surpassed smaller Wolf Fish (general classification)es.

The Giant Tooth Fish also had very strong physical attributes, a fiery temper, strong explosive power, and possessed large, sharp teeth. Its bite force ranked among the top in freshwater fish.

Although the Sky-Reversing Blade Fish's bite force had official data, being called a 'hydraulic pliers in water,' in actual combat, the Sky-Reversing Blade Fish was generally difficult to defeat the Giant Tooth Fish.

Su Yuan personally felt that the bite force, or rather the bite quotient, of the Giant Tooth Fish was no lower than that of the Sky-Reversing Blade Fish.

In the freshwater aquarium market, besides dog-headed fish and piranhas, the Giant Tooth Fish should be considered top-tier.

Although there were many videos online of Vieja (Vieja fenestrata) chasing and biting, Su Yuan, as a Fanged Fish player, was quite frustrated by this.

But Vieja (Vieja fenestrata), like the black piranha, had maxed-out movement skills, making it difficult for ordinary fierce fish to fight.

However, all this could not conceal the ferocity of the Giant Tooth Fish and its top-tier combat power among freshwater fish.

In terms of lethality, the Giant Tooth Fish left Vieja (Vieja fenestrata) far behind.

Su Yuan once also owned a Giant Tooth Fish, which he bought for over a thousand yuan. He guessed it was probably starving crazy by now.

Seeing this fish now, he immediately confirmed that his number one general, his first dependent, would be this fish.

Thinking this, Su Yuan directly removed his disguised state, and his huge body was exposed in the river water, like a prehistoric Vicious Beast!
