Endless Throne - Chapter 14
The next second, the giant fish charged directly onto the shore!
Beneath its enormous body were four stout legs!
“Holy mother!” Zhou Yuan felt his young mind severely shocked. He curled his tail and quickly ran away.
Lin Yebai, with his excellent lightness skill, had already flown dozens of meters away with a few leaps.
Coach Wang sprinted frantically with all eight legs, moving at incredible speed.
The little spiders were still in the car and hadn’t gotten out, so they were temporarily safe.
“Split up and meet back at the park!” Zhou Yuan shouted loudly.
Actually, before he said this, Lin Yebai and Coach Wang had already chosen different directions.
The giant fish turned its dead white eyeballs around and ultimately chose the direction where Lin Yebai was.
It instinctively felt that eating this little snack would yield the greatest reward.
[The Ordinary Me]: A strange species has been added♂
[Watermelon Patch Sinner]: I really didn’t expect this fish to have legs
[Beautiful Life]: What do fish legs taste like?
[Lord of the Gods]: Xiao Bai might know
[Soft Cat Ears]: Run faster, baby!
The fish was at least ten meters long. Originally a red and white koi, its red scales were now eerily vibrant, and its white scales had turned yellowed and dim. Sharp spines grew from its back, and its mouth was full of fangs, making it indescribably ferocious and bizarre.
Fortunately, the entire livestream had this kind of style. Coach Wang with eight legs and Zhou Yuan with a head full of snake hair were equally visually shocking, so everyone was used to such sights.
After waking up, Lin Yebai’s physical strength hadn’t changed much, and he began to think about how to kill the giant fish behind him.
Compared to the fish’s enormous body, the bone knife wasn’t even as long as its fangs.
The giant fish opened its bloody maw and viciously bit down—
Kachak—
Lin Yebai had just avoided it, and the fish’s upper teeth hit its lower teeth, biting nothing but air.
Using too much force, its teeth ached at the roots.
After several attempts like this, the fish’s eyeballs turned red, staring fixedly at Lin Yebai’s figure. Today it would definitely eat this little snack!
Perhaps it hadn’t fully adapted to life on land yet. Although its four short, sturdy legs could support its weight, the prolonged lack of water still left it foaming at the mouth and panting heavily.
Lin Yebai didn’t pull too far ahead, maintaining a steady pace, easily avoiding the fish each time it lunged to bite him.
Gradually, Lin Yebai began looking for obstacles, deliberately leading the fish to crash into them.
With its large size and eyes positioned on both sides of its head, even if it spotted something ahead, it couldn’t dodge in time.
It successively crashed through several trees and then broke a row of street lamps.
Its scales were tough, and the minor damage from the obstacles was negligible.
The fish instead found pleasure in the destruction process, crashing into everything in its path without hesitation.
Lin Yebai looked at the bright red words on the warning sign ahead—
[High Voltage, Danger!]
Without hesitation, he led the fish toward the electrical station sparking with electric flashes.
Before the fish could crash into him, he turned aside in time, deliberately keeping a distance.
To the fish, this seemed like just futile struggling from its little snack.
With a sweep of its tail, it violently struck the high-voltage station. Instantly, it became entangled in the toppling power lines. Countless components scattered, electric light flashed, and the fish’s body fell to the ground, convulsing violently.
Lin Yebai watched from afar, feeling relieved.
So this was the power of electricity? Indeed very dangerous.
Experiencing such painful things for the first time, the fish rolled its eyes back, lay with its four legs in the air, wavering between life and death.
By the time the electric flashes dissipated, the fish was giving off a tempting aroma.
Its tail tapped slightly, barely clinging to life.
[Super Rich Tangerine Seat]: Narrowing eyes, licking paws, smiling devilishly “What a tempting body!”
[Abyss Monarch]: Frowning slightly, speaking coldly “Are you imitating me?”
[Super Rich Tangerine Seat]: Tail swaying coldly, a flash of cold light in eyes “Are you telling me what to do?”
[Charcoal Grilled Great Demon Dragon]: Where can I catch a fish with four legs?
[Great Emperor Huaji]: Crocodile
[South Sea Crocodile King]: Don’t set your sights on my descendants. With just one command from me, countless armies across the universe will raze your dimension to the ground
[Charcoal Grilled Great Demon Dragon]: I’m coming
[South Sea Crocodile King]: How could it be this emo—
Lin Yebai seemed to glimpse various amusing incidents happening in distant worlds through the livestream comments. He quickly lost interest in the barrage of messages as a flock of black crows, attracted by the aroma, flew toward where the giant fish lay.
After the electric flashes completely dissipated and seeing that they were unharmed, Lin Yebai approached the fish’s head. He stabbed the bone knife into its eye and found it somewhat difficult to pull out. After several stabs, he finally received a system notification.
[Killed mid-level aberrant x1]
[Points +500]
This time the fish didn’t drop an [Attribute Card]. Lin Yebai cut off the fish’s head and spent quite some time before finding the blood bead inside.
This blood bead was the size of a fist and somewhat heavy. The blood essence inside was so concentrated it nearly overflowed. Lin Yebai suddenly felt a hint of hunger, as if the blood bead was something barely edible to him.
His body instinctively needed it but also extremely despised it, as if feeling that a mere blood bead was unworthy of his noble status. Before the mark appeared, he hadn’t had this feeling.
After the long chase, he had now left the central park and stood on the street. Beside the wide road were various commercial buildings, identical structures that created a sense of confusion.
There were hundreds of crows, a mass of black, perched on the giant fish. They were also two or three times larger than ordinary crows, with particularly sharp beaks, quickly pecking through the hard scales and feasting heartily.
Lin Yebai cut off a large chunk of undamaged fish meat. The crows didn’t fight him for it, showing remarkable human-like understanding as they ignored each other.
[Iron-Mouthed Fortune Teller]: I calculate with my fingers that Xiao Yebai is lost
[Magician’s Big Zen Staff]: Amitabha, finding our way in this kind of world is too difficult for us
[Literary Mentor]: Some people appear otherworldly and exceptional, but in reality, they get lost at the slightest inattention
Actually, Lin Yebai could find his way back by following the traces left by the fish, but it would be a shame to leave the fish meat here.
He looked at the lead crow, which had golden eyes that stood out prominently among the other black-eyed crows.
“Help me guard this for a while, and I’ll share the next prey with you,” Lin Yebai tried to communicate with it.
The golden-eyed crow’s eyes revealed human-like contemplation as it looked at the mark on Lin Yebai’s forehead, then nodded.
It glanced at a small crow nearby, letting out a few low caws. That small crow reluctantly pecked at a large piece of fish meat, struggled to swallow it, and then flew toward the sky.
The small crow had eaten too much and flew unsteadily, swaying up and down. After flying quite some distance, it gradually found its rhythm.
The golden-eyed crow gave a disdainful look, exchanged a glance with Lin Yebai, indicating that he should wait a moment.
[Blooming Wealth]: Is this what they call communicating with the eyes?
[I Am a Little Green Dragon]: Coach, I want to learn that too
[Big White Rabbit Milk Candy]: What did the little crow go to do? Curious
[Luhua Peanut Oil]: To get a takeout box
“Are you human?”
The long-legged man he had seen once in the residential area emerged from the other side of the street.
His limbs were excessively thin, his appearance ordinary, and his gaze fierce. Looking down at Lin Yebai, he made one feel very uncomfortable.
He had been watching for a while, starting from when the fish was electrocuted.
This sickly-looking young man before him had extraordinary skills and some quick wits. Although he hadn’t mutated yet, it was only a matter of time.
The long-legged man spoke flatly, with a tone of condescension:
“A talented person like you should join our World’s Number One Leather Factory.”
“What factory?” Lin Yebai suddenly felt it sounded familiar.
“World’s Number One Leather Factory,” the long-legged man repeated.
“I don’t understand,” Lin Yebai recalled that the last fanged aberrant he’d killed had dropped a card with “World’s Number One Leather Factory” written on it. What exactly did a leather factory do?
What kind of terrifying entity would call itself “World’s Number One”?
“Are you provoking me?” The long-legged man’s expression turned cold, and he sneered:
“Hand over the blood bead and join us voluntarily, and you might still be spared.”
“Don’t be ungrateful. If you don’t agree, I’ll…”
“You’ll what?” A suddenly appearing voice was exceptionally clear. Song Yao, wearing sunglasses and a mask, had parked his car nearby.
The crisp, pleasant sound of guns being loaded came from inside the car, with all barrels aimed at the long-legged man, targeting his head and heart.
“I’ll apologize and leave immediately,” the long-legged man’s attitude changed abruptly as he smiled kindly and bowed to Lin Yebai in apology.
“Zhang San, I heard you were also organizing search and rescue? Now we suspect your rescue procedures aren’t up to standard. Come with us.” Song Yao waved his hand, and several people exited the car with handcuffs, walking toward Zhang San.
“Times have changed. Trying to constrain me, Zhang San, with old laws is impossible! I’ll search and rescue when I want, rob when I want. If we really fight to the death, I might die, but not all of you would survive either.”
The long-legged man smiled arrogantly, his gaze sweeping across the necks of the others before finally landing on Lin Yebai, smiling ambiguously.
Those who were looked at by him instantly felt as if they had been targeted by some terrifying monster, instinctively feeling afraid.
Lin Yebai also looked at the neck of the long-legged man Zhang San. That head should be worth 500 points; he needed to find a way to get it.
“Come on, handcuff me, take me back. I’d like to see who dares,” Zhang San approached, his expression provocative as he extended his hands, inviting the others to cuff him.
The crows, having eaten their fill, were perched neatly on nearby withered branches, watching the commotion.
Song Yao lacked confidence when facing Zhang San.
Zhang San was much stronger than other aberrants, definitely a mid-level aberrant, more difficult to deal with than the rat king. Every surviving human was now extremely precious and couldn’t be risked.
“Damn it! I hate show-offs the most!”
The speaker’s voice was androgynous, strangely seductive despite carrying anger, and it made people’s minds wander.
Simultaneously, a large rock was thrown from behind, flying straight at the back of Zhang San’s head.
Even though Zhang San avoided it, he was still furious.
Until he turned around and saw a heavenly beautiful green-haired girl with a human upper body and a snake’s tail.
In some corner of Zhang San’s heart, he was instantly captivated.
