Chapter 224 Activated Another Skill
Such an incredible display of explosive force!
Bawang was caught off guard, but its reflexes were quick. It swiftly retreated several hundred meters, creating a safe distance between itself and its opponent. The standoff between the two sides continued, with approximately 200 meters separating them.
After a few moments, Overlord, the powerful adversary, decided to strike first. He charged forward, directing the point of its colossal spear toward the towering head of his opponent.
[ " I still vividly remember my encounter with the 200-ton white monster fish. Despite my use of the sprint skill, the tip of the giant spear failed to penetrate its head. I wondered if this time would yield a different outcome. Could the spear finally pierce through? " ] Overlord thought.
Overlord's speed was astonishing, its movements resembling a fleeting shadow.
The peculiar fish displayed remarkable agility. Witnessing the massive spear hurtling towards it, the creature swiftly blocked the attack with its huge clawed feet. A resounding [ " BANG" ] echoed as the spear's tip pierced through its clawed appendage.
The sheer force of the impact sent the strange fish retreating tens of meters, almost pushing its clawed foot towards its head.
Overlord gained a slight upper hand in the confrontation.
Enraged, the strange fish swung its two colossal clawed feet and charged towards Overlord.
Recognizing a favourable opportunity, Overlord halted its advance and skillfully evaded the opponent's assault. The giant spear in its grasp remained untouched as the fish's two feet missed it entirely.
Another surge of energy coursed through Overlord.
Determined not to grant the opponent a moment to recuperate, Overlord activated yet another sprint skill. Gripping the giant spear firmly, it surged forward again, directing its tip towards the fish's adversary's head.
In an unexpected turn of events, the opponent displayed exceptional reflexes, firmly clamping the giant spear with its two claws.
Overlord exerted tremendous force!
The strange fish put up a brave resistance!
Both sides showcased their strength, each vying for dominance. Overlord's superior technique was apparent, despite its disadvantageous tonnage. There was a temporary impasse between the two forces.
The battle ensued!
Overlord unleashed its full power, once again activating the sprint skill. With the added momentum from this skill, its explosive strength surged, finally pushing back the colossal monster fish.
Step by step, it steadily retreated, covering a distance of one or two hundred meters. Feeling ashamed, the fish released its grip on the clamped giant spear, preparing to charge at Overlord again.
An opportune moment has presented itself.
Bawang, recognising the perfect chance, felt a surge of excitement. When the opponent released its hold on the giant spear, Bawang grabbed the weapon and moved back, significantly increasing the distance between them.
Once again, it charged forward!
Overlord activated yet another sprint skill!
This time, however, the tip of the giant spear was aimed at the side of the enormous monster fish, its two claws unable to defend against such an attack.
The fish thrashed its tail fiercely, attempting to dodge, but its efforts proved futile. The speed and precision of Overlord's sprinting skill allowed the towel of the giant spear to strike heavily against its side.
The fish's body was covered in glossy black scales, offering formidable defence, yet under the tremendous impact of the giant spear, the rankings shattered, and the spear's tip penetrated its flesh to a depth of one or two meters.
The big monster fish suffered a devastating blow.
Overlord thrust the spear even deeper, its tip penetrating several more meters, nearly piercing the monster fish entirely.
With a swift motion, Overlord withdrew the giant spear, evading the retaliatory strike from the dying fish. A massive hole now adorned the creature's body, gushing forth copious amounts of blood, transforming the surrounding seawater into a crimson hue.
Severely wounded and weakened, the giant monster fish sought to escape, propelling itself with its tail deeper into the ocean trench.
[ " Where do you think you are going? " ] Bawang triumphantly said.
Running in the presence of Overlord was nothing short of a jest. Overlord seized the opportunity presented before it—a chance to end this encounter once and for all. With another burst of its sprint skill, the tip of the giant spear impaled the head of the enormous monster fish.
[ " Boom! " ]
A thunderous explosion reverberated as the massive spear penetrated the fish's head, delving several meters deep. Its brain burst, signifying the death of the colossal creature.
-Humph!
Overlord stood triumphant.
Initially taken aback, Overlord could not help but marvel that the giant monster fish's head was as sturdy as it had imagined, doubting whether the huge spear could pierce through. Nevertheless, now, its doubts were laid to rest.
Upon realizing its victory, Overlord gazed at the massive carcass before it, its mind drifting towards one question—how does it taste? Would it be as delectable as he had hoped?
Swimming over to the carcass, it gripped it tightly, taking a hearty bite and chewing with great satisfaction.
[ " Mmm, it tastes delicious! " ]
After devouring another substantial portion, Bawang's eyes sparkled with delight. The more it ate, the more it appreciated the unique flavour of the monster fish, surpassing even that of the strange white fish.
[ " This should be enough to keep me well-fed for two or three days. " ] Bawang contemplated.
Bawang returned to his cave, dragging the 300-ton giant monster fish to the entrance. It indulged in the feast, consuming the fish voraciously, thoroughly contented.
Having devoured approximately thirty tons of fish, Bawang settled in his cave, drifting into a deep, peaceful slumber.
Unbeknownst to Bawang, as he slept, he felt a warm sensation enveloping his entire body, akin to consuming a potent tonic.
Meanwhile, in an office ......
Liu Yong sat comfortably in his boss's chair, engrossed in reading the news on his mobile phone. Suddenly, his attention was captivated by a particular piece of information—a YN Airlines plane carrying over 100 passengers had vanished from the radar during its journey to YD.
Experts speculated that the aircraft may have crashed and provided a possible crash site—an area located in the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean, more than 500 nautical miles away from the nearest southern city in YN.
Liu Yong reread the news multiple times, his interest piqued by mentioning certain items aboard the plane.
Apart from the passengers and crew, several artifacts classified as YD's national treasures were being transported on that ill-fated flight. These treasures had been exhibited in YN and were intended to be returned to YD, but the unforeseen accident disrupted those plans.
The YD government would undoubtedly be grappling with the urgency of the situation.
Considering that more than half of the passengers were YD citizens and the significance of the national treasures, Liu Yong carefully absorbed every detail of the news. He contemplated whether the exhibits could be salvaged after the crash and whether the YD government could locate the downed plane.
The following day...
Reports of the plane crash flooded the media, emphasizing the magnitude of the tragedy. The disappearance of the aircraft, coupled with the fact that several YD national treasures were aboard, sparked widespread interest.
As Liu Yong read through the extensive crash coverage, a thought began to form in his mind—what if he could find those items?
As soon as the idea arose, Bawang communicated telepathically as if sensing Liu Yong's thoughts and opened the pet panel. Liu Yong's eyes widened in astonishment.
Two days ago, Bawang weighed 172 tons, but now he tipped the scales at a staggering 195 tons.
Typically, Bawang's growth rate was around one to two tons per day, but over the past two days, he had experienced a substantial gain of 23 tons.
[ " Could it be that he has stumbled upon the legendary pig feed? " ] Liu Yong pondered.
Activating his third-party vision, Liu Yong observed Bawang sleeping soundly in his cave. At the entrance lay two colossal skeletons, one belonging to the 200-ton white strange fish that Overlord had devoured until only bones remained. The other skeleton was even more massive!
