35: Freshwater silver pomfret and giant python

The numbness and stinging Su Yuan felt at this moment were precisely from this Electric Eel hunting its prey.

In front of the Electric Eel, there was a school of Tilapia, numbering in the thousands, all already stunned by the electricity.

The moment Su Yuan discovered it, the Electric Eel slowly turned its head and stared at Su Yuan.

The next moment, its body glowed with electricity; this was an imminent electrical attack on Su Yuan, and this display was far beyond the previous discharge.

"Die!"

Su Yuan had already gathered nearly half the energy in his body, and a blazing white Laser Beam burst forth, striking the Electric Eel's head and piercing it through before the electrical discharge could erupt.

"You wouldn't think I'd wait for you to use your skills like characters in novels, would you?"

Su Yuan sneered in his heart, swam over, grabbed the Electric Eel, and quickly began to eat.

He still had to chase those Soldiers.

The Electric Eel's body was very robust; its body-width ratio even surpassed that of pythons and Eels, but for Su Yuan, it could still be swallowed whole, without needing to be divided.

Su Yuan's current body length was nine meters, and subtracting the natural length of his tentacles, he was over two meters long, but as an Octopus, Su Yuan's body could deform freely, enough to swallow the Electric Eel's six-meter body in one bite.

In just two bites, Su Yuan devoured this ten-meter-long Giant Eel.

【You devoured an Electric Eel and gained 600 evolution points.】

【evolution points: 1532.7 / 1300】 (Devouring spiritual energy in progress) (Evolvable)

"So fast, I've already accumulated enough evolution points for another upgrade."

Su Yuan was also a little surprised; ever since entering Dayang Lake, his upgrade speed had been incredibly fast.

"However, now is not the time to upgrade; if I don't figure out the location of the human underwater cameras, things will be difficult later."

In just half a day, Su Yuan had decided that Dayang Lake would be his lair, his Immortal Cave, from now on.

Su Yuan quickly caught up to the rubber boat, which hadn't gone far, and quietly followed behind.

Soon, after traveling about a kilometer, the rubber boat stopped.

"I just reported the underwater danger to the Company; this time, five people will go down, and five people will stay on the rubber boat to keep watch."

The Squad Leader said sternly.

With that, a total of five Soldiers, fully armed, jumped into the lake.

The Squad Leader, holding an underwater camera, headed straight for the bottom of the lake, while the other four protected him.

Unlike the previous location, this area was densely packed with fish, but they were all herbivorous or omnivorous fish like Carp, Grass Carp, Bighead Carp, and Silver Carp.

What was the same was that these fish were also very large; those over a meter long were commonplace, and those over two meters long were also numerous.

Suddenly, a Mandarin Fish over a meter long darted out, baring its teeth, startling the four Soldiers.

Because, unlike the carnivorous fish in their impression, this Mandarin Fish's teeth were visible even when its mouth was closed, like sharp knives.

The men had no doubt that a single bite would sever a finger, and could even tear off a large chunk of flesh from their bodies.

"Don't shoot, just scare them away."

The Squad Leader recalled the previous scene and said via the communication device.

The men nodded, having already calmed down; they were merely surprised by seeing such fish for the first time.

The four men waved their hands, appearing to have a strong Aura, and the Mandarin Fish, already inferior to them in physique, was indeed scared away, chasing after a large fish and leaving with it in its mouth.

"Everyone, pay attention: in case of an emergency, no command is needed; open fire freely."

As the Squad Leader spoke, he had already reached the bottom layer; the immense water pressure made him dizzy, and the other four were even worse, floating at a depth of over sixty meters.

Just as the Squad Leader took out the underwater camera to set it up, a Giant Eel over three meters long burst out of the mud and charged at him.

"Not good!"

The four men above saw this scene clearly but couldn't shoot because the distance was too close.

The Squad Leader's eyes hardened, and a dagger appeared in his hand; he pressed his left hand against the Giant Eel, but couldn't hold it down at all—it was too slippery.

The Giant Eel bit fiercely at the Squad Leader's neck, but the special diving suit's material blocked it, preventing it from biting through.

The Squad Leader seized the opportunity and slashed at the Giant Eel's head with his knife, but it got stuck in the Giant Eel's flesh and didn't cause a fatal injury.

The Giant Eel's body hardness was beyond imagination; it was now thrashing wildly in pain, still trying to bite the Squad Leader.

At a critical moment, the Squad Leader roared inside his diving suit; something seemed to be flowing from deep within his body, his shoulder subtly swelled, and with a roar, he cut through the Giant Eel's skin and bones, slashing into its soft brain tissue.

"Huh?"

Su Yuan, not far away, watched this scene in surprise; he seemed to have felt that this Soldier had become somewhat stronger just now.

Moreover, this surge in strength was very sudden, without a gradual process of becoming stronger.

This made him think of the influence of Qi, and it also confirmed his earlier speculation.

Indeed, humans could also be affected by Qi, but compared to animals, it seemed only a very small number of humans were affected by Qi.

"Squad Leader, are you alright?"

The four men above were rushing down in a hurry; now seeing the Squad Leader resolve the trouble, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine, let's go back immediately."

The Squad Leader quickly installed the underwater camera and, together with the four men, rapidly swam to the surface.

"Interesting, I'll remember you, human affected by Qi."

Su Yuan muttered to himself, a tentacle wrapped around a six-meter-long Giant Eel, eating it like noodles.

【You devoured an Eel and gained 30 evolution points.】

After eating, Su Yuan continued to follow.

After traveling about two kilometers, the rubber boat stopped again.

However, this time, they didn't have it as smooth as last time; there was a group of Freshwater Pomfret here, currently hunting a python.

These Freshwater Pomfret were even larger than those Su Yuan had seen before, almost all about a meter long, and their numbers reached about a hundred, with sharp teeth and fangs, far more ferocious than actual piranhas.

However, that giant python was no pushover; its body length reached eight meters, surpassing the former world record!

The giant python was entirely brown, covered in armor-like scales with a metallic sheen; its mouth opened wide, instantly biting a Freshwater Pomfret, and then, under attack, directly ate it.

The two sides were fighting very fiercely; although the python's scales were very hard, after such a long siege, some scales had already fallen off, and it was bleeding from bites.

The arrival of the five Soldiers attracted the attention of both parties, and the Freshwater Pomfret, which had already gained the upper hand, instantly swam out in dozens, charging over.

"Damn it! Back to the rubber boat!"

The Squad Leader's expression changed, he grabbed his firearm, and swam towards the lake surface.

The number of Freshwater Pomfret was so great that the men couldn't kill them all even if they ran out of bullets.

The other four Soldiers, under the Squad Leader's command, were already swimming quickly towards the rubber boat; however, the Freshwater Pomfret's speed was very fast, and they were already close to the men.

"Da da da!"

The Squad Leader covered the rear, firing bullets that killed several Freshwater Pomfret at the very front, startling the Freshwater Pomfret behind them, who stopped for a moment, somewhat wary.

The Squad Leader seized the opportunity, got onto the rubber boat with the help of his teammates, and immediately started it to move away.
