Chapter 46.3: Space Leap (4)
“Well, what worries me is that if you go that deep, you might run into those damn spiny fish…”
“A spiny fish?”
“Yeah, it has a dirty long, pointed nose, and it’s twice as big as you.”
If it’s a fish monster with a long and pointed nose…
She’s talking about a charging fish.
Their level was not high, but hundreds of them flock together and hunt.
Their whole body is covered with hard scales, and they use sharp thorns protruding in front of them as weapons to charge and attack as their name suggested, so the greater the number, the more lethal.
“Well, it’s fine. There are only a few, I can handle them easily. You just have to trust me and follow me.”
She said smirking.
I looked at the level above her head.
39 wasn’t a level where one could be so confident, but…
As she continued to speak, she asked as if she was curious.
“But why are you looking for that place? Are there any hidden treasures?”
She must be thinking of gold and silver treasures.
There was a hidden treasure that couldn’t be compared with anything like that.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I don’t know.”
“Aha, I see. Are you trying to find a treasure ship? I’ve seen a lot of people like that when I was living at the beach… Wait, but this is a lake. You’re not doing anything stupid to find a treasure ship in the lake, are you?”
“Stop talking and guide me now.”
At that, she snorted and jumped right into the water. I followed and jumped in.
Splash!
Seeing her in the water, she instantly changed into a figure covered with scales.
I looked closely and I couldn’t see any gills under her ears. It’s interesting.
As if she was telling me to follow her, she swam first, waving her fingers and moving.
She’s too fast.
I worked hard to pursue her, but of course I had no choice but to fall behind.
How can I, as a human being, caught up with a race that lives in water?
She shouted when she saw that I was lagging behind. Even though she was underwater, her voice was clearly pierced in my ears.
– Why are you so slow! come fast! Do you want me to leave you alone?!
Were the Seawater people capable of raising their voices underwater?
Anyway, while saying that, she started moving slowly at the same pace as me.
As we got to a fairly deep place, big fish appeared and passed by.
– It’s okay, these aren’t the kind that attack first…
The expression on her complexion, who had been speaking with ease, hardened for a moment.
Something huge was approaching fast from below.
A monster with black scales that look hard like armor, and thorns pointed forward like a lance.
Damn.
I also looked at it and frowned.
It was the charging fish she mentioned before going into the water. We were really encountering this now.
– Be careful!
Whoops!
She flew in as if she was shooting at the guy who was charging towards this side and smashed it with her fists.
Even in the water, it was as fast as running on the ground.
A charging fish that had been properly hit in the body spit out blood and sank down the shaft.
Unlike her, who was relieved, I looked around.
This was because they were much more likely to travel in groups than as single individuals.
I could feel a huge amount of presence starting to gather around me.
– Huh, huh?
She also looked around with a puzzled face.
The charging fish that flocked in an instant surrounded us and spun around like a tornado.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe number gradually increased and soon passed hundreds. It was like a black wave.
I watched the scene as if tired.
This was the way they hunted.
They surrounded their prey and spun around to prevent it from escaping, and they stabbed from all directions at once.
After all, it was a hunting method that could be done because they did not get hurt because of their hard scales.
– Me, get your mind right.
A trembling voice was heard.
Looking to the side, she was completely in panic.
Now who was going to save whom?
– Hold my waist. I’ll try to pierce the top somehow…
– What are you doing just floating there, hurry up…!
I smiled, ignoring her words, and placed my hand over my head.
The blood that oozes out of my palms was lumped together in the form of a sphere.
She was about to shout again, but stopped when she saw blood cells floating on the palm of my hand.
Shall we properly test my blood magic?
As a swarm of charging fish spinning around us rushed towards us, blood cells exploded like a bomb.
Whoops!
Drops of blood that burst out in all directions broke through the current and shot at them.
And that was the end of it.
The black waves that rushed in like a suffocation lost their strength and sank to the bottom of the water. It was annihilation.
