Chapter 117: Chapter 117 Damn beast, what have you caught? (3k)

The float reappeared just above the water’s surface.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Finally, after half a minute, the float remained completely motionless.

"Where’s your ’time’ then?"

Nightingale asked, stifling a laugh.

"No rush; I just love the thrill of turning the tables at the last second."

Liu Zheng continued, though stubbornly.

Meanwhile, he couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious.

Could it really all go wrong this time?

But just then, the float suddenly sank straight to the bottom.

No need to think about it, a fish had definitely bitten the bait, and bitten hard.

Overjoyed, Liu Zheng immediately started to reel in.

However, even with the supernatural strength granted by his Legendary Armor, he couldn’t pull the line up even a bit.

"Huh?"

The Fisherman noticed something was off and walked over to help him.

"The referee helping is against the rules; he automatically loses."

The mermaid said coldly.

"Hmph."

The Fisherman was very upset but could do nothing but watch Liu Zheng struggle mightily.

"What the hell did I hook?"

Liu Zheng was also feeling overwhelmed.

He couldn’t feel the fish wrestling against him; it seemed its sheer weight alone was too much for him to move.

Liu Zheng didn’t even want to imagine how heavy this fish might be, surely at least five tons.

A five-ton fish, had he caught a real whale?

Or perhaps it was one of those four-in-one Fishmen from last time?

If that were the case, it would actually be a good thing, given the reaction of White Feather Chicken, this type of fish was extremely valuable.

He quickly thought about any tools he might have that could help.

However, there were none.

If he had to say, there was only the "Golden Finger."

But the effect of this thing was unknown; using it was like a lottery.

What to do?

Just as Liu Zheng was about to give it his all, Nightingale suddenly came over and grabbed his fishing rod.

"What are you doing?"

He asked, astonished.

"Helping you reel it in."

She said matter-of-factly.

"Huh? Didn’t you say that’s against the rules?"

"It’s not a violation if a contestant helps another contestant."

Nightingale shrugged.

"But why would you want to help me?"

Did this Huang Mao really want to be favored by a Minotaur?

Who says only humans can be crafty? These bizarre residents played on a whole different level.

"Because I find you appealing."

Nightingale said with a smile, and kissed his rabbit ear.

The nerves in his rabbit ear were densely packed, and they immediately turned red from the surprise kiss.

"So cute."

Nightingale vigorously rubbed the rabbit ear.

"Be serious, or I’ll concede defeat right now."

Liu Zheng remained unmoved.

"Because I really want to know what you’ve caught."

Nightingale said earnestly.

She could actually see a little bit underwater, then generally identify the breed of the catch by its outline.

However, when she looked at what Liu Zheng had caught, she couldn’t see anything.

As an avid Fisherman with strong curiosity, the allure of an unknown species of fish was nearly fatal.

"I’ll count down from three, and we’ll pull together."

Nightingale said.

"Okay."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"Three, two, one!"

Nightingale shouted and heaved upwards.

He immediately felt a formidable force transferring from the fishing rod to him.

Liu Zheng also hurriedly hunkered down. Four tentacles wrapped around the fishing rod, combining his strength with Nightingale’s.

With an added force, the situation significantly improved.

The fishing rod shook violently, then twitched.

"What the hell have you caught?"

Nightingale couldn’t help but swear too.

With her strength, even a truck would move a bit.

"I’m not sure."

Liu Zheng said innocently.

The only fish he recognized in the sewer was the giant mouth whale.

"Is it really that hard to reel in?"

The mermaid also came over and grabbed the fishing rod to help.

With the combined strength of the three, the fishing rod finally began to lift slowly, and Liu Zheng finally felt the sensation of wrestling.

However, Nightingale grew impatient.

She pulled out a potion containing eyeballs and handed it to Liu Zheng.

"Drink this."

"Why should I drink it?"

He protested.

"You’re the only man here, who else would drink it?"

Nightingale said.

Liu Zheng was just about to lecture her on gender equality when he glanced at the item description and fell silent.

The woman was right; only he could drink this potion.

"Name: Male One-eyed Giant Potion"

"Type: Item"

"Quality: Fine"

"Effect: Strength increase of 200 points for three seconds. Limited to male players, causes significant damage to the user (the higher the constitution, the lower the damage)."

"Note: Do you want to be a dwarf for life, or a giant for three seconds?"

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

With 200 points of strength, he could probably swing Niu Ma around like a toy.

But from the effects and description, this thing seemed to be a self-harming tool.

As long as it wasn’t instant death, it wouldn’t be a problem.

Liu Zheng pulled out the cork and drank the eyeball and potion together, not even chewing.

"’Male One-eyed Giant Potion’ has taken effect."

As the system notification sounded, his muscles immediately expanded.

The intertwined muscles directly tore through the skin and shell, exposed to the air.

Liu Zheng could feel his joints emitting cries of unbearable load.

It seemed that any movement would immediately disassemble his entire skeleton.

Liu Zheng took a deep breath and pulled the fishing rod upwards with all his strength.

Blood and bodily fluids sprayed out, making him look rather miserable.

But this power became the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

The fishing rod was lifted high, and a huge mass surfaced, covered with blood vessel-like protrusions.

One end was still connected to a thick tube; the break was spurting milky white fluid.

Splat!

The meatball fell on the shore, with great elasticity, bouncing several times before settling.

As the potion’s time limit expired, Liu Zheng’s body below the neck directly collapsed into bone dust and flesh.

"I don’t remember Black Mountain Goat Cubs having such vitality,"

Nightingale said, surprised, looking at his calm face.

Especially since Liu Zheng was a half-blood.

"I’m exceptionally talented,"

he said seriously.

Since Nightingale didn’t catch on that he had heard the Gospel, he naturally wouldn’t expose it himself.

"Tsk, never mind then,"

Nightingale said as she took out a capsule, twisted it open, and sprinkled the powder inside on Liu Zheng’s mound of flesh.

The shattered flesh and blood gruesomely reformed at a terrifying speed, allowing him to have a basic form.

Although it was only a facade, the internals, skeleton, and neural network still needed time to recover.

However, as long as he didn’t fight, it was enough.

After sorting out Liu Zheng’s matters, Nightingale examined the item they had fished up.

With her extensive knowledge, she surprisingly couldn’t recognize what it was.

She looked at the sea woman, who also shook her head.

Nightingale then looked at Liu Zheng, who indicated he didn’t know either.

The system did not pop up an item description.

So, all three turned their eyes toward the Fisherman.

The Fisherman appeared calm, but was actually under great pressure.

Because he didn’t know what this thing was either.

But he didn’t want to lose face in front of his daughter and the two men eyeing his daughter.

Just as the Fisherman was about to pay a price to identify the origin of this thing, he suddenly felt a tingling on his scalp.

The Fisherman abruptly looked around, the white tumor-like structures had unknowingly covered the walls and ceiling.

Even, they were continually emerging from the ground.

All at once, they opened their eyes, pupils filled with blood vessels and devoid of whites.

The emotions of pain and anger held all four of them, making their bodies and souls involuntarily tremble.

Sensing that will that even he couldn’t oppose, the Fisherman suddenly understood everything.

"Damn beast, do you know what you’ve fished up?"

he cursed loudly.

And Liu Zheng responded with a blank shake of his head.

"You fucking fished up the eggs from the sewer!"

"What?"

Liu Zheng was dumbfounded.

He could never have imagined that what he’d fished up was this kind of thing.

First off, why would there be eggs in the sewer set-up?

Even if there really were, given the volume of the sewer, wouldn’t its eggs be at least the size of a building?

The Fisherman saw Liu Zheng’s confusion but he no longer had time to explain.

Countless pairs of blood-red eyes were staring at them; the sewer was truly enraged this time.

No one could get away unscathed in this situation, not even legends like Si Xue or Peacock would get away without a scratch.

And the Fisherman, he wasn’t sure he could escape either.

Because the sewer’s intelligence was limited, it typically targeted the strong first.

So, without much thought, he made a decision.

Save his daughter.

The Fisherman flung his right arm, turning it into a thread as thin as hair, and wrapped the sea woman into a zongzi-like flesh cocoon.

He hesitated for a second, then threw out his left arm and right leg, turning them into two threads that enveloped Nightingale and Liu Zheng.

"I don’t care which of you ends up with the sea woman, but you better treat her right. Otherwise, my fish will find you and swallow you whole,"

the Fisherman thundered.

Then, he looked towards the sea woman’s cocoon.

"Your mother was tainted by the Chaos Club. If I don’t send her to the landfill, City Hall will dispose of our whole family."

"But no matter what, it’s truly my incompetence."

"If you ever see your mother again, tell her that the husband she never had is now dead, and she should marry someone good,"

The Fisherman’s remaining right leg also flung out, turning into a fishing rod, sharply striking the three cocoons.

The cocoons rapidly spun, then became more and more ethereal, evidently about to disappear.

"Dad!"

A cry from the sea woman came from within the cocoon.

The sewer’s rage finally reached its peak, countless gray-white lights shot out from the blood-filled eyes, aiming straight at the Fisherman.

By then, the Fisherman had already fallen to the ground, his face bearing a relieved smile;

He closed his eyes, as if savoring the moment or perhaps waiting for death.

"Hey, Lao Deng, you haven’t given me my reward yet. Thinking of dying to escape the debt?"

Liu Zheng’s shameless voice sounded.

The Fisherman opened his eyes, looking disdainfully at his cocoon.

This unfortunate human, not letting him rest even in death.

Then, he saw a black scripture flying towards him.

"Thinking of escaping the debt? No way."

Liu Zheng arrogantly shouted before the cocoons completely disappeared.

And the overwhelming death-lights transformed into a torrential kingfisher, harshly striking the golden Fisherman.
