Master of Monster Synthesis-Chapter 95 - 94: Giant Water-Spraying Fish

The next day.

Only Fang Bao remained in the Mechanical Department, and only Lin Xiaomei was left in the Beast Ability System.

In contrast, the Breeding Beast System, having avoided internal strife, still had all its members intact.

But internal conflict was inevitable. After all, there could only be one winner, and no one would easily give up the opportunity.

The azure sky and crystal-clear lake revealed schools of large fish swimming beneath the surface.

Aside from their massive size, the fish lacked the ferocity and grotesque appearance of other monster-like fish species.

The four members of the Breeding Beast System arrived at the lakeshore and, seeing the fish’s seemingly harmless demeanor, relaxed their guard slightly.

"Haha, these fish in the lake look pretty tempting. Why don’t we have grilled fish tonight?" Zhang Da suggested, chuckling.

"Good, good! After such a tough journey, it’s time to reward ourselves properly," Wu Pu agreed.

Xu Ke’s eyes glinted, and she quickly said, "Alright, you guys catch the fish. Xiaoyi and I will set up barriers to prevent attracting any monsters."

"Ke Ke... why do we..."

Before Du Yi could finish, Xu Ke pulled her aside and gave her a knowing look.

Du Yi understood immediately and turned to Zhang Da and Wu Pu with a sweet smile.

"Hehe, you guys can handle this kind of task, right?"

Zhang Da offered with bravado, laughing, "No problem! You two set up the barriers and rest. We’ve got this."

"Yeah, we can handle stuff like this easily," Wu Pu chimed in enthusiastically.

Xu Ke nodded. "Alright then, you two catch the fish, and we’ll take care of the rest."

Saying so, she grabbed Du Yi and quickly jogged away from the lakeside.

"Ke Ke, why are we wasting time here?"

Once they were a distance away, Du Yi couldn’t help but ask.

Xu Ke pointed at the lake water and said, "Xiaoyi, I’ve seen pictures of these fish in the library. You might not know, but the fish in this lake are called Water-Spraying Fish."

"They may look harmless, but in reality, they are among the most vicious monster-like fish species."

"The water arrows they spray are not only powerful but also have terrifying coagulating effects."

"Even if they’re not physically injured, anyone hit by the water arrows will solidify and remain stiff for a few minutes at the very least."

"If those two get caught, we’ll have the perfect chance to eliminate them easily."

Du Yi hesitated upon hearing this, her expression showing signs of unease.

"But... isn’t this kind of behavior wrong?"

"There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s not cheating."

"But what if the Water-Spraying Fish eat them? After all, we’re classmates."

"No need to worry. According to what I’ve read, Water-Spraying Fish aren’t interested in all living creatures, and humans aren’t part of their diet."

"Oh, then I’m relieved."

While they were conversing, splashing sounds came from the lakeshore, accompanied by Zhang Da and Wu Pu’s alarmed shouts.

"What the—what is this..."

"It’s over... I can’t move..."

By the lake, the pair was completely soaked, holding their Alloy Longswords, frozen in their fishing postures—with only their eyes still in motion.

Fortunately, they could still speak.

"Xu Ke! Du Yi! Help us!" Zhang Da shouted.

"Stop yelling! The big fish are swimming towards us!" Wu Pu said, his face pale.

"What?!"

In the crystal-clear water, more and more Water-Spraying Fish appeared, lured by the sound. Their mouths revealed dense, sinister fangs, sending chills down the pair’s spines.

"Splash!"

In the next moment, several large fish leapt out of the water, opening their jaws wide and lunging toward the pair.

"It’s over..."

Despair filled their hearts.

"Shrrk!"

At that moment, a ten-meter-long Six-winged Centipede arrived just in time. Its sharp insect legs pierced the Fish’s scales and threw them into its gruesome maw, chewing them aggressively.

"Xu Ke, you’re finally here!" The pair exclaimed with joy.

But Xu Ke’s face turned pale, inwardly cursing the unreliable information.

Who said Water-Spraying Fish don’t eat people?

"Splash splash splash..."

Soon, more Water-Spraying Fish surfaced, their fang-filled mouths firing a dense barrage of water arrows, enveloping Xu Ke and the approaching Du Yi.

"This isn’t good!"

The two women gasped and activated their battle armor to evade the incoming attack.

"Splash splash splash..."

The Six-winged Centipede relied on its sturdy armor and barely paid attention to the water arrows.

When the arrows hit its armor, muffled sounds echoed without inflicting any damage.

However, the stiffness and slowed movements caused by the water arrows sent the Centipede into a panic as it screeched and retreated to Xu Ke’s side.

Faced with the Centipede’s immobilization, Xu Ke could do nothing, her face full of anxiety.

"What now?! These water arrows are too troublesome."

"Why didn’t you warn it to dodge them?"

"There was no time."

"Splash splash splash..."

Another wave of water arrows surged forward. Du Yi promptly opened the Space Gate, summoning a giant Golden Eagle that flapped its wings and flew out.

"Screech!"

The Golden Eagle flapped its wings fiercely, generating a violent gust of wind that deflected the incoming water arrows back into the lake.

"Ow... Those water arrows hit us on return!"

"That hurts so much..."

Zhang Da and Wu Pu cried out miserably.

Du Yi looked embarrassed and immediately commanded the Golden Eagle to carry them back.

"The Water-Spraying Fish are increasing in numbers. We should leave this area."

With that, Du Yi dragged Zhang Da as they sprinted away.

Seeing this, Xu Ke stored the nearly immobilized Six-winged Centipede in her Breeding Beast Space, then grabbed Wu Pu and chased after Du Yi.

"Hey! You’re pulling me wrong—I’m tearing my scalp apart!"

...

Once the four were gone, Qin Shou’s silhouette slowly emerged by the lakeshore.

"Water-Spraying Fish. These water arrows are quite fascinating."

Qin Shou scratched his chin and smiled. freewebnøvel.com

Upon sensing a human presence, the Water-Spraying Fish in the lake launched another barrage of water arrows, enveloping Qin Shou’s surroundings.

"Shrrk!"

At the same time, high above the lake, Molten Lizard began spewing scorching magma...

...

"Whew... finally left that cursed place."

Amid the vibrant flower fields, Xu Ke dropped Wu Pu to the ground, exhaling deeply.

Du Yi set Zhang Da down, checked her map, and smiled brightly.

"Only a hundred kilometers to Luoyun City."

"That’s fantastic!"

Xu Ke’s smile held a subtle glimmer, and she instinctively glanced at Du Yi.

"Hey, we’re still stiff here! Could you come up with a solution?"

At this moment, Zhang Da, looking helpless, interrupted Xu Ke’s thoughts.

Nearby, Wu Pu’s head had smashed into the ground, leaving him bleeding and dazed. He muttered weakly, "You should stop the bleeding first. I don’t think I’ll last much longer. I’m dizzy..."

Xu Ke snapped back to reality, her expression awkward.

"Haha, sorry about that. Let’s fix you up..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the ground beneath them trembled violently.

"What’s happening..."

"It might be another monster..."

The four of them panicked.

Suddenly, they noticed the surrounding flowers shifting unnaturally, and the edges of the field rose into floral walls that blocked out the sky, falling over them like a giant net.

From a distance, one could see a massive flower bud the size of a hill slowly closing, enveloping the four like stuffed dumplings.

The vibrant field of flowers revealed itself to be the flower bud’s core!
