51: Colorful Toothfish

"Hiss! It hurts so much!" Su Yuan watched the man inside the battle armor die completely before finally relaxing, feeling the pain all over his body.

This battle was short but incredibly dangerous, and he paid the price of three tentacles and parts of his body to kill the enemy.

Although he had been seriously injured before, he had never lost so much of his body.

At this moment, Su Yuan was incredibly weak, his internal energy was depleted, the largest wound had not completely stopped bleeding, and he was too weak to even swim.

It could be said that at this moment, any large fish with a certain attack power could slowly wear him down and kill him.

Su Yuan was thinking this when his expression suddenly changed, seeing a relatively stout small fish swim over.

This fish was only about fifty centimeters long, brownish-yellow all over, with several black stripes, and a hint of sharp teeth could be vaguely seen through its closed mouth.

Needless to say, this fish was not a vegetarian; it was a carnivore.

And now, it seemed to have sensed Su Yuan's weakness and wanted to take advantage of the situation.

"It's truly a tiger fallen on flat ground, bullied by dogs! How dare a mere miscellaneous fish come over!"

Su Yuan's face was icy cold, but he was too weak to move.

The fish was somewhat cautious and didn't immediately attack Su Yuan, but instead began circling him.

Su Yuan watched it coldly, unmoving.

Finally, the fish couldn't hold back. From behind Su Yuan, it suddenly launched an attack, rushing towards one of Su Yuan's tentacles, opening its mouth to reveal a mouthful of triangular, serrated teeth, and biting down.

"Seeking death!"

A hint of coldness flashed in Su Yuan's eyes as he watched the fish bite his tentacle, feeling only a slight prick. It had only slightly pierced the outer skin.

With his current strength, coupled with his Elementary Tough Skin, ordinary fish couldn't break through his defense at all.

The next moment, ferocious Claws popped out from Su Yuan's tentacle!

Two of these Claws even pierced into the fish's head through its mouth.

Blood flowed, and it struggled frantically, but the result was that its entire head was torn to pieces.

Su Yuan used his slightly recovered strength to pull the fish over and swallow it in one gulp.

You devoured a Gudgeon and gained 0.6 evolution points.

In the distance, unnoticed by Su Yuan, two battle armor users, camouflaged at the bottom of the lake, watched this scene, their hearts chilling.

"I didn't expect that even that adult failed, and it seems like he still has some strength left," one of them said with lingering fear.

Just now, seeing Su Yuan's heavily injured state, they were still discussing whether to go up and complete the mission.

But unexpectedly, such a scene suddenly occurred.

Those ferocious Claws sent chills down their spines.

Their battle armor did not belong to the combat series, and their defense was not high; they might not be able to withstand the attacks of these sharp Claws.

"We are not combat series; fighting is not our business. The organization won't blame us," the other person said.

"Right, the mission failure is entirely that adult's own problem. We're retreating."

The two spoke in their communication channel, quickly reaching an agreement, and began to sneak away.

Without Su Yuan's awareness, the two, with the help of their battle armor, secretly left Dayang Lake.

A few minutes later, under the effect of Elementary Recovery, Su Yuan's physical strength quickly recovered partially.

He immediately moved, leaving his original spot, hiding in an ancient shipwreck, and activated his Camouflage Ability.

"This person, with such unheard-of high-tech equipment, is he from the government?"

Su Yuan quietly recuperated while pondering the origin of the battle armor user.

"If they were government people, there would be no need for this. With the battleships' mines and depth charges, I wouldn't be able to escape at all."

"If they are not government people, then what kind of organization could possess such equipment, and how did they know of his existence?"

"Given the government's modus operandi, matters concerning him should be kept strictly confidential."

"Moreover, government personnel kill evolutionarily mutated creatures to maintain social stability and order, and to protect the lives and safety of the populace."

"What is the purpose of this organization's people in wanting to deal with him? Is it for biochemical research?"

"If this person really came from some organization, then they will definitely make a move again!"

"Unless I leave Dayang Lake, or even move far away from the surrounding area."

"I don't know if the government knows about the existence of this organization. Next time they attack, I need to handle it carefully."

The more Su Yuan thought, the more confused he became.

He had a hunch that perhaps he had encountered an extraordinary secret organization this time.

"No matter who you are! If you want to deal with me, you'd better be prepared to break your teeth!"

A chilling glint flashed in Su Yuan's eyes.

He was not someone who would take a beating without fighting back, not to mention being suddenly severely injured this time. If he didn't retaliate, how could he talk about protecting all of humanity!

While Su Yuan was deep in thought, an unwelcome guest arrived at the ancient shipwreck.

This was a large fish, dark brown all over, with several orange stripes on its body, even on its fins. Its wide mouth and sharp teeth were not exaggerated, but its unique skull structure revealed a terrifying biting force.

Su Yuan, lost in thought, opened his eyes, a cold glint appearing.

Soon, he saw a large fish, over six meters long, swim in. Its wide mouth and sharp teeth were full of oppressive power.

"Seven-Colored Toothed Fish?!"

A hint of surprise appeared in Su Yuan's eyes. This was a type of tropical freshwater ornamental fish from abroad, called the Seven-Colored Toothed Fish by players. It was considered an entry-level species of Wolf Fish, scientifically known as the Amazon River Tiger Characin, and was one of the few freshwater fish that were more ferocious than snakeheads of the same size.

Needless to say, this must have been thrown into the river by some player who no longer wanted to keep it.

Of course, it was also possible that, like him, it was thrown out by family members.

Due to Su Yuan's current camouflage state, the Seven-Colored Toothed Fish did not discover Su Yuan's presence, but its gaze kept circling around Su Yuan.

Clearly, it had found its way here relying on some sensory ability.

Su Yuan's gaze was solemn. This fish's strength was not weak, especially since his injuries had not fully recovered yet.

Behind the Seven-Colored Toothed Fish, where it couldn't see, Su Yuan's four tentacles extended, approaching silently, and then suddenly wrapped around the Seven-Colored Toothed Fish's body.

After resting for this time, relying on Elementary Recovery, Su Yuan had recovered quite a bit!

The tentacles, like giant pythons, wrapped around the Seven-Colored Toothed Fish, squeezing and contracting. The dense, ferocious Claws, over ten centimeters long, all pierced into the Seven-Colored Toothed Fish's body, breaking through its scales, deeply entering its flesh, and blood gushed out!

Another tentacle, at the first opportunity, wrapped around the Seven-Colored Toothed Fish's head, and the Claws pierced through the Seven-Colored Toothed Fish's eyes!

This encounter began with Su Yuan's successful sneak attack!

The Seven-Colored Toothed Fish instantly went berserk, its innate ferocity erupting!

It glowed all over, enveloped in orange light, like burning flames, and suddenly its body began to roll rapidly. This was a death roll; the lake water surged violently, and the surrounding hull was torn apart!

It also used this to forcefully break free from Su Yuan's entanglement, but it paid a huge price.

The Seven-Colored Toothed Fish's body was covered with ferocious wounds. Because it forcefully broke free from the Claws and suckers, its scales were missing, and its flesh was mangled!

But it seemed to feel no pain or fear. Instead, it stared ferociously at Su Yuan and suddenly rushed over!
