Chapter 614: Silver Shark

Han Fei gave all his points to his teammates for his own purposes.

The main purpose was to strengthen them, because their equipment and techniques were too weak, which would hinder Han Fei’s operation later.

He was going to stay in this squad of senior squads for a while! If his teammates were very weak, people would lose respect for him as their captain, and they could be burdens later.

On the next day…

Gu Daliang had ten more high-quality spiritual weapons.

Leng Hui exchanged the points for a demon-level high-quality body movement technique.

Wu Xiaoxiao bought nothing. According to her, it would take more than a day to cultivate a new technique. Besides, since Han Fei was a spirit gatherer, she didn’t need to worry about the lack of spiritual energy for now.

You Lingyun didn’t get anything either. She gave all her points to Gu Daliang and Leng Hui.

At this moment, all the five of them had no more than ten points in total.

…

In the sky above the Skeleton Shore, Han Fei asked, “What’s the range of our reconnaissance mission?”

You Lingyun responded, “About two hundred kilometers.”

Han Fei was astounded. “So small?”

You Lingyun was rather speechless. “This isn’t the level-three fishery. You might not run into one exotic after sailing for thousands of kilometers in the level-three fishery, but you can happen upon them easily around the Scattered Stars Island.”

As they talked, they saw a shadow swooping from the sky and diving into the sea like a meteor.

Then, they saw that a big bird flew out of the sea with a huge fish in its claw.

Wu Xiaoxiao spoke, “That’s a Black Wind Heron, a level-45 rare sea bird. They can swoop fast, and their sharp claws can easily rip apart high-quality spiritual weapons.”

Watching the big bird flying away, Han Fei couldn’t help but ask, “Has anyone captured such birds as contractual spiritual beasts?”

Wu Xiaoxiao nodded. “Of course. Many people have tried that, but they found that they couldn’t make use of the birds’ flying ability even if they fused with them. Also, it’s not easy to fight at the bottom of the sea when you’re attached to such birds.”

Leng Hui added, “Also, there aren’t many creatures on the Scattered Stars Island in the first place. Those birds are gregarious and highly vengeful, so it’s best to leave them alone.”

Han Fei nodded. “Will we go into the sea? It’s been a long time. Why are we still flying?”

You Lingyun perked up. “The first two hundred meters in the sea won’t be very deep. We can detect what’s at the bottom of the sea with our senses. Once we pass this range, the water may be more than a thousand meters deep, and we’ll have to enter the sea when it’s necessary.”

Han Fei thought of something and asked, “How big is your range of perception?”

Everybody looked up at Han Fei. They had already guessed the previous day that Han Fei probably had horrifying senses.

You Lingyun said, “So far, Xiaoxiao has the widest perception range, which is a thousand meters. Leng Hui and I are eight hundred meters. Daliang is six hundred meters.”

Han Fei asked in confusion, “How do you increase your perception range?”

Wu Xiaoxiao replied, “There are imagination paintings for that. However, the imagination paintings are very expensive. Earlier, we gathered 100,000 points, and it was only enough to exchange for the first level of an imagination painting. Then, we shared it.”

Han Fei was stunned. “What’s an imagination painting?”

Wu Xiaoxiao asked, “You don’t know? Captain, your perception range was more than three thousand meters yesterday. Do you not have any imagination paintings?”

Han Fei pondered for a moment. So to speak, the God Scaring Painting was just a powerful imagination painting? If he admitted that he had trained with an imagination painting, would anybody covet the God Scaring Painting for its amazing effect?

Instantly, Han Fei said with a smile, “I don’t! I increased it by having Soul Crystals.”

“What?”

All four of them, including Leng Hui, looked at Han Fei in shock. “By having Soul Crystals?”

Wu Xiaoxiao exclaimed, “Even a level-one Soul Crystal is 3,000 points apiece. The level-two ones are more than 30,000 points. Also, as your perception range increases, eating them will become less effective. Captain, how many Soul Crystals did you have?”

Han Fei coughed for a moment and said, “Well, back when I was in the level-three fishery, I had several hundred of them by luck. I bought them with money; I didn’t get them through fighting.”

Everyone: “…”

Immediately, the same picture popped up in their head where this jerk trained with Soul Crystals as jelly beans. They were almost drooling at the thought of that.

Gu Daliang took a deep breath. “My imagination is limited by my poverty.”

You Lingyun secretly sighed. They truly didn’t know the life of a magnate.

All of a sudden, Leng Hui cast his hook in delight, and You Lingyun and Wu Xiaoxiao followed him.

“It’s a Silver-Scaled Fish. Surround it and don’t let it slip off.”

Gu Daliang instantly stabilized the boat in midair and grinned hard.

In Han Fei’s senses, the target was a long large face that emitted silver light. It was about three meters long and not slow at all. When the hook was still two hundred meters away, the fish had already sensed it and begun to flee.

Unfortunately, the three fishing hooks weren’t slow either. After one minute, the fish was caught by Leng Hui’s hook. Then, You Lingyun’s and Wu Xiaoxiao’s hooks followed and pulled the fish out of the sea.

You Lingyun roared, “Daliang, lower the boat! Xiaoxiao, freeze it!”

Han Fei saw that the Silver-Scaled Fish darted out three silver scales, trying to cut off the fishing lines.

You Lingyun and the others quickly shook the lines, but Wu Xiaoxiao’s line was still cut off.

However, the moment before the line was cut off, Wu Xiaoxiao had already jumped off, and a thousand cold leaves fell on the fish like snowflakes. Immediately, the Silver-Scaled Fish was covered in ice and frozen.

A moment later, the Silver-Scaled Fish was dragged to the boat.

Han Fei glanced at the Silver-Scaled Fish, and information popped up:

Silver-Scaled Fish

This is one kind of the Silver-Armored Fish and has high defense abilities. It’s ferocious, and it has a shocking bite force. The three silver wheels on its tail, when burst out, are as powerful as high-quality spiritual weapons.

42

Rare

1,617 Points

It can broaden the veins and increase your spiritual power if it’s eaten over a long period of time.

Silver Scales

Han Fei wasn’t too amazed when he first saw the fish. It was just a rare creature. Its three scales could be made into weapons, but those scales weren’t huge at all. What could they be made into?

Seeing how uninterested Han Fei was, Wu Xiaoxiao said cutely, “Captain, this is a Silver-Scaled Fish. It tastes delicious, and its scales are very hard. It’s worth five hundred points apiece. We’re very lucky.”

Han Fei was tempted. “It does look pretty. Why don’t we stew it tonight after we come back?”

Immediately, Wu Xiaoxiao stood before the Silver-Scaled Fish, and Leng Hui hurriedly killed the Silver-Scaled Fish and threw it into his Sea Swallowing Seashell.

Han Fei was lost for words. “Is that necessary? You can keep the scales, but won’t it be shameful if we abandon such delicious meat?”

Wu Xiaoxiao pouted out her cheeks. “We can sell it.”

Han Fei waved his hands lazily. “Okay, you can do whatever you want to the fish you catch. I can catch my own.”

As he talked, Han Fei cast the hook two thousand meters away. Both the hook and the line disappeared the moment they entered the water.

In the next moment, the Thousand Twining was activated, and a big fish was dragged back to him.

After that…

Another Silver-Scaled Fish appeared on the boat.

Han Fei smacked his lips and said, “We can eat this one, right? Let’s make a deal. I’ll steam this one as food instead of selling it.”

Wu Xiaoxiao exclaimed in shock and then grabbed Han Fei’s arm. “Let’s sell it for money, please~”

Han Fei held his head high. “I don’t want to sell it. I want to eat it.”

You Lingyun, however, had a different expression. “Wait, doesn’t it look weird to you?”

Leng Hui nodded. “The Silver-Scaled Fish aren’t gregarious fish. It’s rare to encounter two of them at one time.”

Han Fei said with a smile, “What’s wrong with that? There’s nothing special about this rare fish.”

You Lingyun shook her head. “Daliang, circle in this area and see if there’s a third Silver-Scaled Fish.”

After that, You Lingyun looked at Han Fei. “Captain, you have the widest perception range, so you must pay more attention. If there’s a third one, we may run into a Silver Shark.”

“Huh? A Silver Shark? What’s that?”

Wu Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened. “Seriously? If there’s a Silver Shark… Captain, spread out your senses! The Silver Sharks are good stuff. They’re exotic creatures that have blue fins like wings. They’re very valuable.”

Han Fei was rather curious too. He nodded and said to Gu Daliang, “Daliang, you sail the boat faster in this area. Let’s see if I can detect anything.”

“At once!”

The boat was instantly accelerated three times faster.

Han Fei’s senses quickly scanned the waters. During the third lap, Han Fei suddenly opened his eyes. “Stop here.”

Han Fei rose solemnly and threw the hook in his hand to a thousand meters in the west.

After the hook entered the water, it was covered in a great amount of spiritual energy and turned into a fish that looked like a Silver-Scaled Fish.

The Silver-Scaled Fish that Han Fei impersonated with the Winding Snake Technique was slightly different from a real one. It contained too much spiritual energy, so if the Silver Shark was smart enough, it probably wouldn’t fall for the trap.

However, most fish couldn’t refuse the temptation of spiritual energy.

The Silver-Scaled Fish that was made of spiritual energy swam five kilometers from west to south, and a blue unicorn fish slowly swam by five hundred meters away.

At that moment, Han Fei sensed that the unicorn fish changed its color into silver and white. After a tremble, it approached Han Fei’s Silver-Scaled Fish in disguise.

Wu Xiaoxiao said in a low voice, “Captain, do you see anything?”

“Just keep quiet.”
