Chapter 29 Ghost-faced Shark, Climb it Yourself!

After eliminating this "bandit team," the two continued toward the scoring point.

"Worth it! That 20k was well spent!"

On the way, He Siyao's face was flushed, seemingly still immersed in the thrill of the Blazing Flame Fox's instant takedown of five people.

Nothing unexpected happened next.

With 32 Spirit Fish, they exchanged for a total of 112 points, and as agreed, Chen Mo didn't take any points.

"Next, we'll hunt the Ghost-faced Shark in this river."

Chen Mo said.

At this moment, the regular fish and Spirit Fish entries of the [Fishing Master] had been completed, leaving only one Extraordinary Rank Spirit Fish to catch.

The feeling of completing challenges while making money was truly exhilarating!

"Yes, yes."

He Siyao nodded repeatedly. At this moment, she was Chen Mo's little fan girl!

She didn't expect to run into such a big shot while getting lost; her luck was incredible!

"The map shows that this Ghost-faced Shark is in the middle of the river, not far from us. We should be able to encounter it soon by scattering bait along the river."

Chen Mo analyzed, and then they began to scatter bait along the river.

Meanwhile, Xiao Jiu lay leisurely on Chen Mo's shoulder, munching on small fish snacks.

The upcoming Ghost-faced Shark was not weak, and if it intended to escape, it wouldn't be easy to capture, so they needed to be in their best condition.

Let's max out all three buffs of the [Food Hunter]!

This time, the Spirit Fish in the river had wised up; none floated to the shore, only a few fearless regular fish came to eat.

Chen Mo naturally wasn't interested in them and continued scattering bait along the river.

Only after Chen Mo left did fish gradually come up to eat.

About ten minutes later, Chen Mo scattered another handful of fish food into the river, but this time even the regular fish didn't show up.

This was unusual!

"Xiao Jiu, prepare! The Ghost-faced Shark is likely here!"

As he spoke, he began to retreat.

As a Spirit Master, the first thing to learn is ensuring your safety.

Not out of fear!

Seeing this, He Siyao also moved away from the shore.

Sure enough, a few seconds after Chen Mo spoke, a huge black shadow leaped from the water, swallowing all the fish food in one bite.

The black shadow rising from the water was about 5 or 6 meters long, entirely black, its body spindle-shaped with a strange white pattern similar to a crying face on its back, and its tail sharp like a scythe. When it opened its bloody mouth, countless sharp teeth were immediately visible.

The Ghost-faced Shark had noticed the two underwater but didn't take them seriously due to their Spiritual Beasts only being at Transcendent 1-stage and Awakened Stage, arrogantly emerging to eat.

Boom!

The moment the Ghost-faced Shark leapt up, three purple bolts of lightning as thick as bowls struck its head and torso in succession, terrifying electric currents spreading across its body.

Electric-type mid-level move, Chain Lightning.

The Ghost-faced Shark immediately felt its entire body tingling as if receiving an intense massage, utterly weakened, and fell back into the water due to inertia.

Underestimating the Blazing Flame Fox's strength, the Ghost-faced Shark was stunned by Xiao Jiu's Chain Lightning, leaving three black scorch marks on its skin's surface.

However, it hadn't lost its fighting strength but was instead provoked into a fierce rage.

Its blood-red pupils burst with fierceness, Water-element Spiritual Power swiftly surging.

In an instant, the river's water churned, and a more than 5-meter-high giant wave surged toward the Blazing Flame Fox.

Wave Assault, a Water-element mid-level move.

Clearly, the Ghost-faced Shark before them, as an Extraordinary Rank Spiritual Beast, possessed considerable intelligence.

It intended to drag the Blazing Flame Fox into the water with the giant wave.

In water, that would be its domain!

"Water Flow Barrier!"

The Blazing Flame Fox was about to use Instant Thunder Flash to dodge when it heard the girl's voice from nearby.

He Siyao was not flustered, calmly directing Lianyan Butterfly to create a Water Flow Barrier.

As the giant wave approached, a water wall emerged from thin air.

Splashes erupted as the two powerful streams collided and crashed to the ground, throwing up countless dense splashes.

"Chirp!"

Seeing this, Xiao Jiu gave up retreating, once again drawing Electric Spiritual Power from within, unleashing Chain Lightning again.

Boom!

Thunder roared, and purple lightning struck again. Amplified by several entries, the power of this Chain Lightning was on par with the full-force attack of a Transcendent Level 3 Spiritual Beast.

The Ghost-faced Shark attempted to dive deeper into the river, trying to weaken the lightning's power.

But the speed of thunder was too fast!

Just as it began to dive, the lightning struck its body.

Zi zi zi~

The Ghost-faced Shark twitched frantically, the terrifying electric currents coursing through its entire body. If it had a vocal organ, it would surely have let out an earth-shattering roar.

Naturally, Xiao Jiu wouldn't miss the opportunity, using an electric net to haul the Ghost-faced Shark out of the water.

A shark out of water is no match for a dog.

Ghost-faced Shark, captured!

Upon capturing the Ghost-faced Shark, Chen Mo obtained the [Fishing Master] entry.

He first equipped it, and instantly, countless fishing knowledge poured into his mind.

Curious, Chen Mo unequipped the entry.

In an instant, all the fishing knowledge in his mind vanished.

Could this be the legendary — knowledge passing through the brain without leaving a trace?

"The 150k has been transferred to you!"

He Siyao excitedly said.

But upon seeing the Ghost-faced Shark, she was a bit troubled.

Her Spiritual Beast was not a strength type, and now the biggest problem was how to transport the Ghost-faced Shark to the scoring point.

Lianyan Butterfly could create a water bubble around the size of the Ghost-faced Shark, but it couldn't move such a large bubble.

"That's simple."

Chen Mo approached the still-paralyzed Ghost-faced Shark, ignoring its "angry glare," and used his Beast Language Talent.

"Ghost-faced Shark, walk on your own!"

Ghost-faced Shark: ???

(Damn! Do I have no dignity? I'll remember this grudge, Ghost-faced Shark!)

"Chirp?" (Are you walking or not?)

Xiao Jiu gestured with its paw, a purple arc of lightning dancing between its claws. Seeing the Ghost-faced Shark remain silent, it threw another lightning ball at it.

"Ugh—"

The Ghost-faced Shark was on the brink of tears, how the heck was it supposed to walk after being paralyzed!?

"Oh, right, my bad. Rest a bit, then walk on your own after you're up!"

Chen Mo scratched his head, a bit embarrassed.

The Ghost-faced Shark's eyes widen with fury to the extreme!

Damn humans, I... I'll definitely have my revenge!

"Where should we go next?"

After exchanging the Ghost-faced Shark for points, He Siyao asked excitedly.

This perfectly dependable ally promised a secure first place in this trial, didn't it?

"I want to take a stroll by the seaside; want to come along?"

Chen Mo replied.

Having acquired the [Fishing Master] entry, he was like a child with a new toy, eager to try out the effects.

One of the [Fishing Master] effects increased the holder's chance of encountering rare fish, and since the island's rivers likely housed no rare fish, Chen Mo planned to have a look by the sea.

"Let's go, go, go!"

He Siyao, unaware of the reason, thought Chen Mo intended to lead her to hunt Spiritual Beasts by the sea, happily agreeing.
