Chapter 2762: Such a Huge Fish
2762 Such a Huge Fish
On the opposing side, Miss Qiao too was pulled several paces away by that strange force of suction. In quick succession, Mo Lian pinned her down where they stood.
Sudden and forceful gusts stirred up, and the fallen leaves were sent swirling across the ground. The sandstorm practically rendered vision useless.
Within the heart of this forest, something awaited.
...
Qiao Mu narrowed her eyes and hurled a blue talisman outward, commanding, "Reveal yourself!"
The revealing talisman shimmered before finding its place at the heart of the forest.
In an instant, a brilliance flashed before all eyes, and a colossal beast materialized.
"Whoa! Look at the size of that fish!" Little Fatty peered through the storm and couldn't contain his amazement.
Indeed, an unprecedented eight-legged monstrous fish stood before them.
Its plump fish belly protruded, supported by eight stubby legs, and crowned with a large, golden carp head.
The fish's two eyes rolled back in a classic show of disdain as they fixed their cold and secretive gaze upon them.
When the unsightly fish parted its lips, a gale surged forth, lifting withered branches and leaves in its wake. It inhaled the very sky and earth, as though intent on devouring the entire world. The surrounding trees were pulled into its gaping maw by the monstrous wind.
Qi Xuanxuan's complexion turned a sickly shade of green, and she blurted, "What the heck, is this monstrous fish actually eating?!"
/Xuanxuan, you've unraveled the truth!/
Little Fatty and the rest bemoaned inwardly.
/It seems, once the monstrous fish finish vacuuming up every bloom and shrub around, we'll be the only "plump fish" left to serve as its feast!/
"Stand your ground and fight!" Hua Tao roared as he summoned a streak of resplendent water spirit.
In an instant, a fierce gust of wind threw them off their course.
However, their landing missed the mark entirely.
This action appeared to enrage the bloated carp with its sizable head. Emitting an indignant snort, it inhaled deeply, and the powerful gale swallowed Hua Tao whole.
"Damn it!" Little Fatty hastily clutched onto Hua Tao's garments once more.
Yet, how could she manage to secure him so hastily?
A sizzling sound reached their ears.
Despite Little Fatty tearing a piece of fabric from Hua Tao's clothes, the uncontrollable force still propelled him toward the portly fish.
They desperately unleashed several bursts of spiritual energy in a bid to impede Hua Tao's velocity, but to no avail. The vortex unleashed by this monstrous fish proved overwhelmingly fierce, rendering Hua Tao's outer attire a comical spectacle, now pockmarked with holes.
Mo Lian analyzed, "This monstrous fish's offensive might seems rather average, yet the peculiar wind it produces is exceedingly vexing. Qiaoqiao, stay here. I'll approach and eliminate it."
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao, however, displayed great reluctance to withdraw her hand. She shook her head fervently and retorted, "We should go together."
Consequently, he released his grip, allowing the peculiar gust to draw him in. Observing this, Mo Lian promptly followed suit.
Upon nearing the fish's maw, they nearly succumbed to the repugnant odor.
"What's your plan, you two?" Witnessing their involuntary venture, Duan Yue hastened to catch up.
Qiao Mu pinched her nose in discomfort and gestured frantically for him to stay put. Enduring the overwhelming stench, she hollered, "It's so foul, don't come any closer."
/Considering this big-headed carp hasn't bathed for centuries, the stench is utterly unbearable./
Upon spotting the two individuals being drawn in, the monstrous fish gloatingly widened its mouth, preparing to snap them up.
In the span of an instant, Qiao Mu nonchalantly retrieved a staff-shaped spiritual implement from her inner sanctum and wielded it.
"Roar." The upper and lower jaws of the monstrous fish were on the verge of being impaled by the rod as it clamped down. The agony was so intense that it emitted a scream akin to that of a human.
/This is absolutely excruciating! Who is this little brat, and how does she possess such malevolent prowess./
Just as its beleaguered fishy eyes began to glimmer ominously, a handful of its teeth were forcibly extracted!
Fish: /I sense impending tragedy.../
