I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 147: The Collapse of Cui Ruogou

Chapter 147: Chapter 147: The Collapse of Cui Ruogou

Nothing could be more shocking to the onlookers nibbling on melon seeds and the residents of Jinbao Residential Community.

In fact, they had seen the giant python on surveillance footage online more than once.

But seeing it in person was far more shocking!

Especially just now, no one had much expectation for the young man named Ye Chen.

Who would have thought that suddenly, the figure of the giant python would appear on the surface of the water!

As an owner in the Jinbao Residential Community, Jin Wanting, along with her husband and two children, moved back more than ten meters with the crowd.

But the group of onlookers continued to retreat incessantly to the back.

Thanks to the officer who was on-site maintaining order, a stampede was avoided.

It’s no wonder everyone was panicked!

At this moment, she was about two hundred meters away from the artificial lake.

But when she saw the huge dark shadow emerging on the surface of the artificial lake, she still felt hairs standing on end.

She had only seen such scenes in movies before.

At the same time, Jin Wanting was also incredibly relieved.

If such a giant python were to really crawl out from the artificial lake to shore and then appear in the community...

The consequences were simply unimaginable!

And at this moment, Jin Wanting unintentionally caught sight of the young man in a gray Taoist robe on the shore, Ye Chen.

Behind him stood a little girl, pale with fear, clutching tightly at his shoulder.

Opposite him hung a middle-aged fat man from the crane hook overhead, incessantly screaming for help with a deathly pale face!

And behind him stood countless onlookers with faces full of terror.

Only this young man, although his eyes were fixed on the giant python on the distant lake surface,

Held a fishing rod in his hand, his face showing no sign of emotion, still looking unconcerned and composed.

Even the fishing rod in his hand was as steady as Fort Knox, without the slightest tremor.

His demeanor, compared with the panic-stricken Jinbao Residential Community, formed a striking contrast.

It was as if heaven and earth had left only him, the fisherman.

This couldn’t help but bring to Jin Wanting’s mind a verse of poetry.

A green bamboo hat, a blue straw coat, slanting wind and drizzling rain, I need not return!

The onlookers, particularly the residents of Jinbao Community, also noticed this extraordinary scene involving the young man.

Over the past three days, because of the giant python, the residents of the entire community were perturbed.

Now, seeing this python, that had once swallowed a Husky whole, appearing on the surface of the lake, the shock they felt can only be imagined.

But, uniquely, Ye Chen, who was closest to the giant python at this moment, showed no fear at all.

This truly took everyone by surprise.

After all, in the half-hour before, many onlookers thought the young man in the gray Taoist robe was just joking around here!

But the moment he really lured the giant python out of the lake.

Everyone was shocked by his calm and composed demeanor, and many were also worried for his safety.

Of course.

No one forgot that the weak dog on the lake surface, used as bait, was getting closer and closer to the giant python.

The reaction of Cui Ruogou compared to Ye Chen’s, was quite different.

At this moment he was hanging from the crane hook above the lake surface.

He was convulsing like someone with epilepsy, twisting his body while shouting loudly for help.

This contrasted sharply with Ye Chen, who was fishing calmly on shore.

Indeed.

At this moment, Cui Ruogou was nearly breaking down.

Just now, after seeing the giant python, a terrifying thought surfaced in his mind.

What if this giant python was attracted by the piglets that Ye Chen had previously thrown in.

So now, those three piglets have already run onto the shore.

Therefore, in the artificial lake, there’s no longer any food for the giant python...

To be exact!

Cui Ruogou has now become the only prey in the artificial lake that the giant python can hunt.

Thinking of this.

Cui Ruogou finally understood why Ye Chen previously said to use himself as bait while also asking if he had bought insurance.

Turns out he’s risking his own life to attract the giant python’s attention!

It’s even possible that he might lose his life here today!

This Ye Chen really wants him dead!

Next, the direction in which the giant python swam across the lake surface also confirmed Cui Ruogou’s thought.

It might be because the giant python is so massive.

So from a distance, its swimming speed in the water doesn’t seem particularly fast.

But even so.

The giant python still headed straight toward Cui Ruogou.

Watching the giant python getting closer and closer, the almost hoarse shouting Cui Ruogou suddenly thought of something.

His life and death were now controlled by this tower crane.

If the tower crane lifts him up, then wouldn’t the giant python be unable to bite him?

In other words, his safety could only rely on the old man controlling the tower crane!

After realizing this.

Cui Ruogou stopped making slaughter-like tragic screams and instead yelled hysterically toward the crane on the shore.

"Raise it up, raise it up!"

"If you don’t lift me up now, I’m going to die!"

The old Liao inside the crane, whether he was lost in thought or what, just stood there frozen.

Upon hearing Cui Ruogou’s voice, he had yet to react.

At this moment, Cui Ruogou turned his head to look behind.

He was horrified to find that the giant python was now less than fifty meters away from him.

He could even clearly see the scales on the python’s body shimmering because of the sunlight.

And also, whether it was an illusion or not.

Cui Ruogou felt that, at this moment, the giant python’s eyes were fixated only on him!

He couldn’t care about anything else, and continued shouting: "Grandpa, Grandpa, I’m begging you!"

"Grandpa, please raise me up quickly!"

Finally...

Whether it was because the old man heard Cui Ruogou’s shouts or saw the giant python getting closer to Cui Ruogou.

Accompanied by the roaring sound of the tower crane’s mechanical operation.

Cui Ruogou was finally lifted up from the lake by the tower crane.

But before Cui Ruogou could catch his breath, the next moment, he felt like cursing.

He originally thought that he had successfully lured out the giant python and that he would be placed in a safe location by the tower crane.

But at this moment, the crane had lifted him to about five meters above the lake surface and then it stopped...

The giant python on the lake surface was also getting closer and closer to Cui Ruogou.

"Old guy, keep pulling me up!"

At this point, Cui Ruogou was terrified to his limits.

Because from his position, he could clearly see the true face of the giant python.

Just like other Water Snakes.

This giant python seems to have sensed that Cui Ruogou, this prey, had now stuck its flattened head out of the water.

Its enormous head was almost the size of half of Cui Ruogou’s torso!
