The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 793 - 323: Fishing in the Air_3

"Let’s go, let’s go, a fisherman never leaves empty-handed!"

GuaGua, accustomed to this, rode atop the goat head, cheering jubilantly.

Seeing it so happy, the goat head was also excited, continually kicking the lion head’s belly to make it speed up, with no dawdling allowed.

"Hiss..."

When the snake head joined in urging it on, the lion head, unable to bear it any longer, finally relinquished the last traces of sleepiness.

Forced into action, it stepped forward with its lion paws, gradually accelerating, in moments it was like a sprinting mountain.

"A circular clearing, with no grass, no trees, no flowers around, just a blood-red hunting mark... this is the place!"

After a long half-day’s run, Ye Hanjun locked onto the ’void cave’ mentioned by Ye Yin.

This location was closely connected to the Nether Water, protected by a dam which prevented the waves from eroding the shoreline, invisibly providing a layer of security.

"Aegifura, I’m borrowing your bloodline for a moment."

After a greeting, without waiting for the owner’s consent, Ye Hanjun transformed into the "Demon Enchantress King".

Then, he "wickedly smiled," his sharp nails slashing across his wrist, a spray of icy demon blood scattering onto the ground.

"Whoosh~~~"

Silently, a blood-red fishing rod floated in mid-air.

Ye Hanjun reached out to grab it, feeling his soul being sucked in, while ripples continuously appeared in the formerly unexplorable area of the Nether Water, as if a predator was hiding in the deep darkness, stealthily observing his movements.

"Shh!"

GuaGua pinched the goat head’s mouth, stopping it from making any bleating noises.

But, managing one mouth didn’t mean silent for all.

The snake head made a hissing sound, equally jarring in the utter silence.

And not to mention the lion head, it simply collapsed to the ground after stopping.

If not for the goat head and snake head, separately controlling the back half of the Chimera’s body, it might have flipped belly-up to lie down, more fitting its lazy demeanor.

"Splash!!"

Suddenly, the fishing rod began to shake, and larger ripples appeared on the surface of the water.

Ye Hanjun exerted a bit of strength and lifted it up, a bizarre fish with a human head spat out the hook and smash straight towards him.

"A demon with a human head and fish body?"

"Such a fish, once hit on the head can possess a human body, henceforth leaving the water, turning into a land-dwelling ’fish head demon’, achieving another form of life evolution..."

Ye Hanjun sat in the queen’s chair, using a temporarily erected defense to block the Heaven and Earth Perfection ghost fish with a human head.

Goose Immortal was truly prepared for battle, wings ready at any moment, seeing the enemy pouncing, its fighting spirit ignited, wings furiously slashing, and with a loud shout, the fish head was cleaved off.

"Clang!"

The human head fell into a pile of weeds, not only alive but still blowing bubbles, wearing a face of madness.

Goose Immortal went up to deliver another strike, then turned to split open the fish’s belly, finding a string of greenish earrings.

"A small space storage item?"

Ye Hanjun collected it, his nails sliding over the wound on his wrist, scattering another spray of blood.

For the second time fishing, he focused his attention just as intently, trying to probe into the depths of the Nether River with his soul.

But this time, the fishing rod shook again, and a strange fish entwined with seaweed and fish scales resembling tree patterns dropped to the ground, thrashing and jumping wildly.

"Pattered-pattered—pattered-pattered—"

Beneath several pairs of eyes, the area outside the hole, which was overgrown with weeds and filled with a lot of foul blood, suddenly became covered with dense vegetation. Towering trees sprouted, their appearances resembling fangs, as ugly thorny branches, waved their backward-pointing spikes, frantically strangling any prey they could touch.

"Zzzzlizzz—"

The snakehead was struck, and thorns scraped against its scales, sending sparks flying everywhere.

The snakehead, enraged, swung its python head three hundred sixty degrees, breaking an ancient tree over five hundred meters tall at its midsection. The fierce thorns all detached from the root and were swept into the Nether Water, creating a corroding noise reminiscent of insects gnawing on human skin, which was undeniably horrifying.

"Cangmu fish, a rare wood-attributed Demon Beast skilled in wood element spells..."

"But its condition is strange, upon coming ashore, it directly launched a skill similar to Self-Explosion. At the Perfection status, for a fleeting instant, it could potentially harm the Immeasurable Void Pull..."

Ye Hanjun did not finish it off because the jumping strange fish stopped by itself, its eyes rolling back, dead in a very thorough manner.

The lower being’s disturbance infuriated the snakehead, and dissatisfied, it swallowed the carcass of the Cangmu fish and then spat out a dim bead, throwing it to the ground with a look of disdain.

"It’s at least a Wood Yuan Bead; such waste is unacceptable."

Ye Hanjun, unable to leave the hole, then commanded GuaGua to pick up the bead.

Upon touching and examining it, although it was slightly damaged, it contained a large amount of wood element, which, if used to feed wood-attributed Demon Beasts or plants, would definitely be appreciated.

"Big tadpole, with this way of fishing, do you have enough blood to use?"

"It’s fine."

Ye Hanjun spilled the third batch of blood, focused intently.

Ye Yin summoned a creature suspected to be the overlord of the water on the third attempt, potentially sharing a similar essence.

But he was slightly disappointed, as the creature that leaped out of the Nether Water the third time was clearly not the Fish King.

It was a "Dance Fish," scaleless and dressed in a sexy swimsuit.

Its pelvic fins like fans, pectoral fins like knives, dorsal fins like a crown, swaying its fishtail, its provocative dance was quite an eyesore.

"This guy is fun!"

GuaGua and Sheep Head both had intense curiosity, both stretching their necks at this moment, assuming the role of spectators.

"Hiss!"

The snakehead darted out like lightning, and before the Dance Fish’s dance could reach its climax, it was swallowed into its belly, giving it a taste.

"Baa!"

Sheep Head was shocked, kicking hard, deriding the snakehead for moving too fast upon sensing the action.

The snakehead hissed furiously, its vicious vertical pupils targeting the Sheep Head’s neck. The next second, it pounced, fiercely delivering a blow in revenge for the kick.

"Don’t fight!"

GuaGua once again played the peacemaker, trying to divert the attention of both the snake and the sheep:

"What about the thing in the fish’s belly? Spit it out, don’t ruin your stomach!"

"Hiss!!"

The snakehead, with its neck held high, appeared majestically formidable.

That pride-filled little gaze seemed to say the thing inside the fish’s belly had already been digested by it and couldn’t possibly be spat out.
