Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Freak

Ye Chen then flung it straight onto the clifftop, right by Liao Xuexue’s feet.

Liao Xuexue was taken aback by the sight of the "monster" in front of her, with its body of fifty to sixty centimeters in length, and saw-like protrusions on its back.

She screamed out loud: "Oh my god!!"

Then, she couldn’t bother netting any more and stepped back several times in quick succession.

Liao Xuexue’s scream also immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

Ye Chen, who was closest to her, jerked at the corner of his eye so hard that he almost choked on his own saliva.

How did I end up catching this thing?

The creature was tawny brown all over, with a triangular head, relatively small eyes, and a very large mouth. Its neck was rather long.

It looked plump and strong, with powerful and stocky limbs, sharp nails, and webs between its toes.

Moreover, on its back, there were two rows of distinct thorn-like protrusions, and three less distinct ridges.

These ridges were made up of several mound-like units, with radial stripes on it.

And at the rear edge, there were four saw-toothed small flaps on each side, symmetrically arranged.

It also had a tail, thick at the base and tapering to a fine point, with a very distinct taper from thick to sharp.

And this creature had prominent ridges on its head, body, and tail, similar to the ridges on a crocodile’s back.

When people finally saw what had surfaced in the water, they all gasped sharply.

"Holy shit!"

"Did Teacher Ye catch another crocodile?"

"Holy crap!"

"How come this crocodile has a shell? Mutated?"

While Liao Xuexue was still unsettled, the old fellows from the Jiang City River team all crowded around.

They began to comment on this odd-looking creature.

Even a few bold old men teased the creature with their shoes.

Then, the creature opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and made a "hiss" sound.

This made the group of old men leap back in fright.

"Holy crap!"

"This thing is really fierce!"

"Isn’t this some mutant produced by radiation exposure from a certain little sun country?"

Seeing this, Ye Chen was completely helpless.

He originally thought he had caught the big green fish that old Liao head failed to catch.

And he could have made some snide remarks to old Liao head.

But who knew...

Ye Chen sighed. It seemed he really didn’t have any luck with fish...

He slowly said to everyone, "What crocodile, this damn thing is an Alligator Turtle!"

At this time, the live stream room audience had reached an astonishing 1.1 million people.

When this crowd of viewers saw the absurdity that Ye Chen had caught, they all started laughing so hard their stomachs hurt.

"Ha ha ha, look at that, the way Teacher Ye was so confident just now; I thought he really caught the big green fish old Liao head had lost!"

"Exactly, I thought so too, and if that were the case, old Liao head would probably be so angry he’d spit blood."

"Alligator Turtle... This creature is indeed rare in fishponds, after all, as an invasive species, it has no natural predators in our domestic freshwater."

"It must have been released by someone, right? But whoever did it must have a grudge against the fishpond, to release an Alligator Turtle into it..."

"Ha ha ha, I can’t stop laughing, family. I never expected Teacher Ye to catch such an outlandish thing!"

"What’s so outlandish? It would be outlandish if Teacher Ye caught a fish; this is just Teacher Ye’s usual performance, okay?"

"Indeed, this is Ye Chen’s true level. Fishing? Fishing is impossible for him. He can only maintain liveliness by catching these weird things."

"How is the streamer going to deal with this Alligator Turtle? It’s definitely not going back into the fishpond, after all, it’s a fish’s natural enemy. The owner of the fishpond must have been really careless to let something like this get in!"

"Everyone take a look at Ye Chen’s expression right now, hahaha, it’s just too hilarious. He must be questioning his life right now, wondering why he ended up catching such a thing!"

"Confirmed, Immortal Turtle. He can even fish up turtles!"

...

Meanwhile, at the scene.

Regaining her composure, Liao Xuexue burst into laughter upon seeing the Alligator Turtle.

"Puhaha..."

"Ye Chen, I thought you were going to catch a fish since you were preparing so seriously just now."

"What the... It’s just a stupid Alligator Turtle!"

Ye Chen sighed helplessly, giving Liao Xuexue a resentful glance like that of a complaining wife.

After sticking out her tongue, Liao Xuexue then explained to the surrounding elderly men the characteristics of the Alligator Turtle.

Once the elderly men realized that this odd creature was just a turtle, they immediately started mocking Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, you shouldn’t have been so sure of yourself!"

"Actually, it’s not Ye Chen’s fault. It would be strange if he could catch any fish!"

"Yeah, ever since I’ve fished with Ye Chen, nothing he catches surprises me."

"But this turtle today is a bit unexpected. In all these years, it’s the first time I’ve heard of someone catching such a fierce one..."

"Ye Chen, don’t feel too down. Look at it this way, after catching this turtle, you’re no longer air force!"

The elderly men stood by, taking great pleasure in mocking Ye Chen.

The one who enjoyed teasing the most was Old Liao.

Old Liao pouted his lips and walked over to the Alligator Turtle with his hands behind his back.

He prodded it with his foot a couple of times; the Alligator Turtle reacted ferociously, hissing at him.

Then Old Liao laughed heartily.

Looking at Ye Chen’s dejected face, he sighed and then shaking his head said, "Ye Chen, does it mean the big green fish I caught earlier mutated? Turned into a fifty-plus-pound turtle?"

Upon hearing this, the corner of Ye Chen’s eye twitched fiercely.

Then, looking down at the Alligator Turtle still hooked on the ground, he could not vent his frustration.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

He made a bewildering move that left everyone dumbfounded.

Ye Chen stepped forward and directly removed the fishing hook from the Alligator Turtle’s mouth.

"I curse your grandpa!"

With a kick, he sent the innocent Alligator Turtle flying into the keepnet.

Liao Xuexue was dumbstruck witnessing this scene.

Ye Chen is too brutal...

The viewers in the live stream room also criticized it as cruel.

Only Ye Chen himself harbored an indescribable bitterness.

Feeling the strange gazes from the people around him.

Ye Chen sat down indifferently on the little stool, re-baiting and casting his line.

Then he said to everyone, "Tonight, I’m treating you all to Alligator Turtle!"

Everyone wore a bemused expression.

Of course, after catching this Alligator Turtle and no longer coming up empty, Ye Chen did gain something.

He unlocked a new skill.
