71: Snakehead Killer

Yangjia Town, inside the river.

Several Security Officers on duty suddenly changed their expressions, looking at the suddenly surging river surface.

"What's going on? Why did such big waves suddenly appear on the water?"

A Security Officer reached for his sidearm, his expression tense.

The other Security Officers beside him also had serious faces, their pupils slightly dilated, fearing that some monster might emerge.

Suddenly, the riverbed shook violently, and a huge wave shot up to the sky, its spray even drenching them.

Vaguely, they seemed to see a startling dark shadow flash across their vision.

"Did you see that? It looked like something very long flashed in the water."

A Security Officer said, trembling slightly as he wiped the water from his face.

"Don't talk nonsense and scare people! There's nothing there!"

Another Security Officer, also quite scared, quickly said.

"I think I saw it too."

But the other Security Officers also spoke with some fear.

"Don't... don't panic. Our mission is just to watch over this area and prevent the public from approaching."

At this moment, a Security Officer said.

"You're right. Let's move a bit further away from the riverbank."

The Security Officers exchanged glances and quickly retreated some distance.

In the river, Su Yuan retracted his gaze and continued hunting Snakehead Fish.

By now, ordinary Security Officers were no longer a concern for him; they could hardly threaten him.

Even if the Security Officers reported the situation and brought in the military, he could still escape through the Underground Dark River.

It could be said that the discovery of the Underground Dark River System gave Su Yuan immense confidence, almost subconsciously.

This confidence even surpassed the confidence brought by his increase in strength.

Even with human technology, it would be very difficult to cross the Underground Dark River System to pursue and kill him.

These Underground Dark River Systems are ancient, with waterways extending in all directions and too many branch channels. If Su Yuan hadn't left special pheromones along the way, using his own species' method, he would also find it difficult to find his way back.

The waterway in Yangjia Town was not complicated, with only one river running through it and no branches. Su Yuan caused huge disturbances along the way.

The entire river became murky, filled with silt, and too many hidden creatures were forced out by Su Yuan.

Although Su Yuan's main target was Snakehead Fish, he didn't refuse any creatures that were within reach and easily catchable.

【You devoured a Carp and gained 10.2 evolution points.】

【You devoured a Minnow (or a type of local fish) and gained 3.6 evolution points.】

【You devoured a Minnow (or a type of local fish) and gained 2.6 evolution points.】

【You devoured a Snakehead Fish...】

...The System's prompts flashed continuously, and Su Yuan was also feasting.

Occasionally, a few rapidly bursting figures appeared, but they couldn't escape Su Yuan's net-like tentacles.

Considering the potential attack from the Mysterious Organization he might face upon returning, Su Yuan almost indiscriminately devoured every creature that appeared.

Of course, the main target was still Snakehead Fish.

However, with Su Yuan's current strength, even if his primary target was Snakehead Fish, it was still devastating for other creatures.

This even caused a terrifying scene.

Countless powerful creatures frantically fled towards the outskirts of Yangjia Town.

The mass escape of these relatively powerful creatures caused panic among the relatively weaker ones, who also fled frantically ahead.

Ultimately, this resulted in countless aquatic creatures forming a wave-like movement!

Somewhere in the Yangjia Town river.

Here, too, several Security Officers were on duty, standing guard.

Suddenly, some faint sounds reached them, catching the Security Officers' attention.

"Listen, what's that sound?"

A Security Officer listened intently.

The Security Officers looked around with grave expressions and finally found something unusual on the river.

They saw the river surface densely packed with large fish, leaping forward, and some of the jumping fish revealed extremely sharp teeth at the corners of their mouths.

"What... what is this situation?!"

Their eyes wide, they vaguely saw countless schools of fish inside the river, forming a surging wave that swept forward!

"Splash!"

A four-meter-long Reeves Shad shot up into the sky, directly leaping over a small bridge spanning the river, leaving a trail of river water.

"Something big has happened! Quickly notify the Public Security Office; the entire river needs to be isolated along its banks!"

The few men came to their senses and frantically contacted the Public Security Office to report the situation.

Immediately, an emergency broadcast was aired throughout Yangjia Town, and everyone was prohibited from approaching the river.

All Security Officers were also urgently dispatched to the riverbanks, standing by in full readiness, isolating everyone from approaching.

Should any sudden changes occur, they would be the first line of defense.

In the river, Su Yuan was completely unaware that his hunting behavior had caused such a huge commotion here.

"Hehe, there are even Snakehead Fish hidden under this silt!"

Su Yuan watched a two-meter-long Big Black Fish dart out from the bottom of the silt. His tentacles easily wrapped around it, and with a slight squeeze, the strong Snakehead Fish was twisted into a pretzel.

【You devoured a Snakehead Fish and gained 12 evolution points.】

At the same time, several River Shrimp that were fleeing in disarray were also swept up by Su Yuan and swallowed in one gulp.

【You devoured a River Shrimp...】

Su Yuan devoured his way through, consuming countless aquatic creatures, which even caused the areas he passed through to become utterly silent.

In those waters, it was difficult to find any slightly larger aquatic creatures anymore.

The result of all this was that Su Yuan's evolution points were increasing like a rocket.

This anomaly was soon discovered by the Public Security Office.

They drove their cars, searching along the way, and finally found the starting point of this fish tide.

"Quick, let's go take a look!"

Several Security Officers got out of their cars, equipped, and were about to walk to the riverbank.

Suddenly, they all froze in place.

At that moment, they suddenly felt a chill down their spines, every cell in their bodies seemed to convey fear, an boundless coldness swept through their limbs, and cold sweat dripped down their necks, drenching their entire bodies!

It seemed as if they were standing at the mouth of a primeval giant beast, and taking one more step forward would lead to eternal damnation!

After a long while, the Security Officers finally felt their body temperature return and plopped down onto the ground.

"The... the... river... is... terrifying..."

The Security Officers exchanged glances, each seeing unconcealed fear in the other's eyes.

In the river, after warning the Security Officers, Su Yuan continued to devour Snakehead Fish and other creatures along his way.

Finally, he devoured his way to the end of Yangjia Town; beyond that was Miaojia Town.

After Su Yuan wrapped up the last Snakehead Fish and swallowed it.

His eyes flickered slightly. During his hunt, it was inevitable that some Snakehead Fish had escaped early, fleeing to other places.

He wondered if, under such circumstances, the System would still deem him to have completed the achievement.

Soon, a System prompt sounded, dispelling Su Yuan's concerns.

【You have devoured all the Snakehead Fish within a town, earning the achievement: Snakehead Fish Killer (Town-level) (All your attributes increase by two percent when facing Snakehead Fish.)】

"Haha! It's here! So this counts as completing the achievement!"

Su Yuan's eyes gleamed. If this counted as completing the achievement, then he had thought of a shortcut to completing achievements.

However, to do so, he would need human cooperation...
