Chapter 150: Chapter 142: Rampage of the Crazy Crocodile (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

"Come! Come to the backyard!"

Lette got up and walked out of the warehouse, shouting towards the front of the store.

Before long, a middle-aged man with graying hair, accompanied by several sturdy sailors, entered the backyard of the general store.

"Oh! Captain York, why did you come personally today?"

"To pick up something from Lord Lette’s store, of course, I must come in person. These subordinates of mine are a bunch of rough men, and if they were to offend Mr. Wright, I couldn’t bear the consequences, hahahaha..."

"Captain York is too polite, we’re all friends here."

As Lette spoke, he opened the warehouse door: "The Fine Iron Hook Soft Net you need is inside that long box."

"Great, thank you, Mr. Wright. Why are you all standing around? Hurry up and bring it out!

Be careful not to damage anything else in the warehouse, or I’ll toss you into the sea to feed the sharks!"

The sailors quickly ran into the warehouse and hauled out the largest and longest wooden box inside.

Captain York opened the lid and saw large metal nets coiled inside, with barbs sharp and sturdy, gleaming with a cold light.

"Great! With this treasure, the big guy in the drainage ditch won’t be able to escape!"

Seeing Captain York’s expression of gritted teeth hatred, Lette nodded slightly.

"I hope you’ll have a triumphant victory, Captain, and catch that monster fish soon. Avenge the citizens who died unjustly."

"Yes, this beast has eaten too many people. Today, I want to see what kind of monster it really is!"

Not long after the mist descended, strange occurrences began happening frequently in Harbor Town.

If the other bizarre events just made people anxious, then the misty serial killer and the man-eating monster fish in the drainage ditch were downright lethal.

At least with the serial killer, everyone knows it’s still a person and can be hunted down by the guard bureau.

Moreover, the big figures in the Upper City aren’t afraid at all. They have tight security, and the serial killer doesn’t seem very interested in the Upper City.

But the man-eating monster in the drainage ditch is a beast that cannot be communicated with, and it doesn’t care about status or rank when it eats people.

You might even say, it would find the Upper City’s prestigious elite even more delicious, as the people in the Lower City are too miserable.

At this point, the big shots in the Upper City couldn’t sit still anymore.

They offered a large reward and would help with everything except taking action personally.

Among them, Captain York, who had lost his family, gathered a group of citizens who had also lost loved ones to the beast, along with his ship’s crew, and formed a hunting team.

They planned for nearly half a month to finally trap the man-eating monster fish in a reservoir.

Today, they would use the sailboats and this metal net to catch the fish.

Then, they would kill and dismember it in front of everyone! To avenge the dead!

Seeing everyone’s excited expressions, Lette frowned slightly. This atmosphere of premature celebration made him a little uneasy.

He thought for a moment, since there were no pressing matters to attend to, and since Lilith and the others hadn’t returned yet...

"Captain York, may I tag along to watch?"

"Of course! Many people will be coming to watch today!"

Captain York took a deep breath: "Right by the reservoir. When we successfully catch that man-eating monster fish, I will loudly announce to everyone that the net used to catch the fish was custom-made from your general store.

That way, it will also help promote your shop which is about to open."

"Hahaha, many thanks. Without further ado, shall we go?"

Lette immediately followed Captain York and his team, leaving the general store and heading to the reservoir they spoke of.

Upon arriving, they saw Emily and Lilith standing at the front of the crowd, chatting excitedly while pointing at the waves in the reservoir.

Seeing Lette, the two waved to him excitedly.

"Captain, my cousin and companion are over there. I’ll go over first."

Captain York patted him on the shoulder: "Mr. Wright, your cousin and companion get along so well. Honestly, I admire you."

Lette gave an awkward smile: "You’re too kind, too kind..."

Pushing through the crowd, Lette arrived in front of the two.

"Weren’t you two going shopping? Why are you here watching this muddy pond?"

Emily appeared a bit excited: "They’re about to catch that monster fish! Of course, I had to come and see.

Someone said the fish is three meters long! Twice the size of Lilith!"

"Hey! Who said that! I’m 1.65 meters tall!"

"...Alright, but that fish is over three meters long!"

Lette pressed down on the about-to-erupt Lilith: "This is pretty good. The citizens are breaking one of the bizarre things through their efforts.

This will greatly boost their confidence while further grounding their perception of reality.

It can also be considered a thwarting of the Liar Demon’s scheme."

"Look, look, it’s starting!"

Emily pointed downwards, and Lette glanced over to see two sturdy fishing boats already in the water, fitted with the Fine Steel Fishing Net he made.

Captain John stood on one of the boats, commanding the other boat to coordinate with him.

His own deep-sea fishing boat was much larger, but it was docked in the fishing port and couldn’t be brought to this small reservoir.

These two fishing boats were borrowed, but they were among the larger and more solid of the medium-sized fishing boats.

As the two fishing boats pulled the fishing net slowly across the reservoir, Lette’s concerns deepened.

Lilith suddenly frowned and tugged Lette’s hand: "I suddenly have a bad feeling."

Upon hearing this, Lette hurriedly used his Divine Sense to scan the entire reservoir and easily found the monster fish.

"No problem... huh?"

Lette focused and probed the monster fish again, and then his expression changed dramatically.

"Emily!"

"Huh?"

"Get ready, you’ll need to act soon."

"What? Why?"

"That fish has been tampered with! No, it’s not just some monster fish."

Lette’s face turned grim: "That’s a Containment Object of calamitous level second only to Catastrophe level, the Immortal Disaster Crocodile, only disguised by the Liar Demon with the Power of Lies."

The power of lies is truly frightening, especially when it’s hidden within the ordinary.

Once a lie is recognized, it typically falls apart on its own.

But the issue is, lies have such a strong camouflage. If not carefully distinguished, they can easily go unnoticed.

Lette distinctly remembered that he had initially investigated the monster fish himself and was sure it was an abnormality bred from a lie.

But never did he expect the lie was just camouflage, and its real identity was this dangerous.

Lette silently blamed himself for being too careless, for getting caught by inertia thinking!

Emily, upon hearing Lette’s warning, was dumbfounded: "Huh? Threat level? Second only to Catastrophe? Immortal Disaster Crocodile? Lies..."

Before her brain could comprehend, things went awry in the reservoir below.

The net successfully caught the target, but under the fish’s violent struggle, it overturned the smaller fishing boat.

Soon, the so-called man-eating monster fish revealed its true form before everyone.

It was a giant ferocious crocodile, over four meters long, covered in scales and armor with four sturdy limbs!

With a gaping maw, it bit the overturned fishing boat in half. Then, with a swing of its long tail, it smashed the other fishing boat.

The sailors aboard all fell into the water, with Captain York landing right in front of the Disaster Crocodile.

"Emily! Save them!"

In the eyes of outsiders, only Emily among the three had the strength of a mage, while Lette and his sibling were seen as ordinary commercial nobles, so it was unwise for them to act publicly.

Fortunately, thanks to Lette’s long-term coaching and torment, Emily’s strength was now almost at the Holy Rank.

She immediately drew her crowbar Magic Wand and instant-cast Middle level Ice Element Magic, Ice Crystal Spikes!

In an instant, the reservoir erupted with chilling energy, the protruding ice pillars precisely lifted all the people in the water to shore.

The Disaster Crocodile, having lost its prey, naturally wouldn’t let it go. It opened its mouth and roared, issuing a dragon-like bellow, then rushed towards the crowd observing.

Instantly, everyone was plunged into utter panic.

Emily hurriedly condensed water vapor again, unleashing Fourth level Ice Magic·Ice Roar, knocking the Disaster Crocodile back into the pond.

Emily raised her crowbar high, and began chanting rapidly.

As she toiled, countless ice elements gathered in the pond. The Disaster Crocodile, in a frenzy, tried to rush out, but the constant formation of solid ice blocked its path.

Finally, Emily successfully completed her chant, Fifth level Ice Magic Eternal Frost was unleashed.

The turbulent water enveloped the Disaster Crocodile, successfully freezing it inside.

Crack...

Before Emily could lower her crowbar, the massive ice block shattered instantly. Though full of wounds, the Disaster Crocodile remained vicious, charging madly towards the bank.

At this critical moment, a boulder suddenly flew from afar, making the Disaster Crocodile stagger.

Everyone turned to see, and somehow the laborers moving goods at the ship port had arrived.

Each of them muscular with broad shoulders and backs like bears, they lifted the leftover large stone materials from repairing the embankment, tossing them over like they were mere foam.

The Disaster Crocodile was pounded with continuous pained cries, retreating back into the reservoir.

"Hey, hey! Lette, aren’t these guys members of your Blood and Flesh God Sect?"

Lette’s eyes brightened at the sight: "Great, if they handle this, it’ll be more fitting!

Emily! Drain every drop of water from the pond! Don’t let a single drop remain!"

Emily nodded slightly, took a deep breath after adjusting her clothes, and began to sequentially enter Super Sensory, Overload states, finally achieving Overclocking.

With a wave of her crowbar, the water in the reservoir ascended and flowed towards a distant drainage ditch.

In the blink of an eye, the entire pond was drained, and even the sediment at the bottom dried up and hardened.

Robbed of its aquatic cover, the Disaster Crocodile roared angrily, looking very agitated and restless.

Lilith, seeing this, still felt a bit worried: "Hey, are those Blood and Flesh God Sect believers up to the task? After all, they have mortal bodies, and the other side is a Calamity Level Containment Object."

Lette smiled faintly: "Don’t worry, they are just the prelude to make my subsequent appearance more reasonable.

Emily, grant those guys various magic powers.

No matter what, hold on until my grand entrance!"
