15: Swallowing Erythroculter ilishaeformis

Shi Di and Huang Chaoyao quickly grabbed Zhang Lihua's hands and pulled her up together.

Zhang Lihua's body and hands were bleeding, showing gruesome teeth marks that looked quite frightening.

"Luckily, no arteries were bitten," Huang Chaoyao carefully examined and judged.

"Let's send them to the town clinic first," Shi Di said in a panic, and together with Huang Chaoyao, they lifted the two elderly individuals into the car and immediately drove to the town clinic.

At the same time, Liu Ye from the Bureau of Flora and Fauna Administration and Zhou Kubo from the Public Security Office also received the news. Zhou Kubo immediately notified all Security Officers...

Su Yuan's attack was a sneak attack. Due to his camouflage and stealth, the Chinese Chub didn't detect Su Yuan at all.

So, when Su Yuan suddenly wrapped around its body, and his Claws pierced into its flesh, injecting venom, it signified that the scales of victory began to tip.

However, the ferocity of this Chinese Chub was even more unexpected than Su Yuan had anticipated.

It struggled violently with immense strength, thrashing wildly in the river, trying to shake Su Yuan off.

Su Yuan's eight tentacles were all tightly wrapped around its body, adhering closely with the suction of the suckers, further secured by the Claws firmly embedded in its body, continuously cutting.

This massive Chinese Chub failed to shake off Su Yuan, especially since Su Yuan had deliberately avoided its head, which was equipped with sharp teeth, during the sneak attack.

For a time, this fierce Chinese Chub couldn't do anything to Su Yuan, and under the effect of the venom, its strength gradually diminished.

Su Yuan also felt somewhat fortunate that it was a sneak attack; otherwise, a head-on confrontation would have certainly come at a significant cost, though he was confident of victory.

But just then, the Chinese Chub's body suddenly emitted a burst of electric light—a strong current erupted, instantly paralyzing and convulsing Su Yuan's entire body.

"Discharging electricity?!"

This shocked Su Yuan, but his paralyzed body was uncontrollable. He could only watch as the Chinese Chub slowly broke free from his entanglement.

During this process, Claws tore through flesh, scales flew, and blood gushed out.

The Chinese Chub was also gradually weakening, but the fierce glint in its eyes was strong. It swam towards Su Yuan, about to bite off Su Yuan's head.

"Damn it!"

Su Yuan's body shook, and he spat out a jet of black ink, covering an area of water. His own color immediately changed, blending into the ink.

Su Yuan's move was indeed effective, confusing the Chinese Chub, buying him time, and winning him victory.

Because, as the ink gradually dispersed, the Chinese Chub also slowly lost its strength, eventually dying from the venom.

Su Yuan was also gradually recovering at this moment. After all, with his size, even high-voltage electricity couldn't severely injure him with a short discharge.

"What's going on? It's just a Chinese Chub, how can it discharge electricity? And this voltage must be no weaker than an Electric Eel!"

"Could this also be an effect of the Qi Resurgence? Does Qi Resurgence not only make creatures bigger but also allow them to evolve different abilities?"

Su Yuan looked at the Chinese Chub with lingering fear. If the opponent had used its electrical discharge ability immediately, the outcome might have been different.

The moment his body could move, Su Yuan rushed over, grabbed the Chinese Chub, and left the area to find a safe place to devour it.

Although he could move now, his body still felt some lingering pain.

But just as Su Yuan was leaving with the Chinese Chub, his gaze noticed an underwater camera by the riverbank.

His current eyesight allowed him to see distant objects even in the dark, and he immediately confirmed that it was an underwater camera.

Su Yuan's mind raced, guessing the purpose of these underwater cameras—they were likely observing his movements. He immediately grabbed the Chinese Chub and left as usual.

However, the direction he took was not towards Muxi Town, but towards another direction of Yangxi Town, traversing numerous underwater cameras as he left.

Along the way, all the fish and shrimp scattered and fled.

Su Yuan noticed that all the large fish over a meter long he saw along the way were unexpectedly numerous.

This made him feel that the influence of the Qi Resurgence had long since permeated all aspects, silently and subtly.

Although most creatures evolved slowly, over time, they would also become formidable.

In another direction of Yangxi Town, Su Yuan, carrying the Chinese Chub, arrived within the boundaries of Lihe Town.

Only after searching all the way here did Wu Yu find a suitable patch of aquatic plants. He dragged the Chinese Chub to hide among them, causing all the fish and shrimp inside to flee in panic.

Now, every move of Su Yuan carried a hint of the river's overlord.

This Chinese Chub was too large; its weight was no less than the previous Alligator Snapping Turtle, perhaps even more. Su Yuan estimated it to be around five hundred kilograms.

Su Yuan could only cut its body again. His Claws were only over five centimeters long, so cutting such a large fish was slow.

Su Yuan could only cut off and devour pieces of flesh, and the water in this area immediately turned crimson.

Fortunately, it was a stormy night, and Su Yuan had specifically chosen a location far from residential buildings, with uninhabited fields on both sides of the riverbank.

The flesh of this Chinese Chub was like beef, very firm, even exceeding it.

After cutting for a long time, Su Yuan even felt a bit strenuous.

After a while.

【You devoured a Chinese Chub and gained 150 evolution points.】

"My goodness! 150 evolution points!"

Su Yuan was a little surprised; this was the most evolution points he had ever received from a single source.

He looked at the system panel.

【evolution points: 160.6 / 160】 (Devouring Qi for enhancement) (Evolvable)

Su Yuan didn't expect that he could evolve again so soon.

"However, this is not a suitable place for evolution."

Su Yuan shook his head, stretching his body. His eight tentacles, like giant pythons, moved through the river, scaring countless fish and shrimp.

He had only eaten a wolf before, which led to an investigation by the Bureau of Flora and Fauna Administration, and they even installed so many monitors in the river. They were clearly determined to capture him.

But tonight, this big foolish fish directly attacked people. If he hadn't intervened immediately, someone might have died.

This was the Rabbit Country, and once human lives were involved, it became a top priority.

Given the temperament of the Rabbit Country's relevant departments, they would surely capture this foolish fish and offer it as a sacrifice.

Although the Chinese Chub was eaten by him, his existence had already been exposed.

If a mere Chinese Chub was already so fierce, daring to prey on humans, wouldn't he, a mutated octopus who defeated the Chinese Chub, cause even more unease?

Su Yuan felt his scalp tingle just thinking about the upcoming situation.

This was the Rabbit Country! Once it got serious, they could even drain the river dry!

Su Yuan was so angry that he wished he could flog this foolish fish's corpse again.

"No, I need to make a run for it!"

Su Yuan couldn't bother with evolving. If he didn't act now, he would really be trapped here.

Dayang Lake, not far away, was an excellent location. It was the Rabbit Country's largest freshwater lake, large enough to hide in, and it even connected to the Yangtze River, allowing him to enter the sea via the Yangtze River!
