The boat had not moved far towards the center of the lake when Cheng Xiaofan suddenly found his footing unstable. The boat beneath him lost control, spinning rapidly on the water's surface.
He put force into his legs, trying to stop the boat, but it was beyond his control.
The spinning was so fast that Cheng Xiaofan began to feel dizzy. If this continued, he would pass out before long.
"Damn, what's up with the streamer?"
"Is he playing on a merry-go-round boat?"
"Watching the boat spin this fast makes me feel a bit dizzy!"
"Streamer, aren't you dizzy?"
"Awesome, streamer is truly awesome!"
The fans, unaware of what was truly happening, thought Cheng Xiaofan was intentionally playing on the spinning boat to entertain them. This was, after all, one way to pamper his fans! In gratitude, they sent a barrage of rockets.
Little did they know, their streamer was on the verge of vomiting from the spinning.
"Chirp—"
The Sky-Breaking Eagle clearly sensed something was wrong with its master and flapped its wings, taking to the air. Taotie Bao, abandoning its post beside the large fish, leaped and landed on the eagle's back, sitting firmly in place.
When the Sky-Breaking Eagle reached the boat, Taotie Bao immediately jumped off and plunged into the water. The eagle, meanwhile, flapped its wings, attempting to use their power to stop the boat's rotation.
Although the boat's speed slowed, it continued to spin.
The fans clearly sensed that something was amiss.
"Did everyone notice? The streamer isn't playing on a spinning boat for us; he's clearly been attacked by some monster from underwater!"
"Yes, I noticed that too!"
"What kind of monster dares to attack our idol from under the boat?"
"Streamer, you need to be careful!"
"My great god brother, you must hold on! It's precisely at times like this that you need to stay calm, absolutely do not panic!"
"Woof woof!"
At this moment, Taotie Bao, who was submerged, let out a yelp and leaped out of the water. It seemed to have encountered some terrifying behemoth underwater, so scared that it jumped back into the boat.
"Woof woof..."
Taotie Bao shook the water off its fur and barked several times at Cheng Xiaofan.
Soon!
Cheng Xiaofan finally understood its meaning. The boat's rapid spinning was entirely caused by a large fish thrashing underwater. The fish looked exactly like the one on shore, but it was even larger. It possessed immense strength. Taotie Bao, intending to use its headbutt technique to knock the fish unconscious, was instead flung out of the water by a flick of the fish's tail before it could even get close.
Understanding the situation, Cheng Xiaofan's heart suddenly sank! The yellow-cheeked fish on shore was female. Had he captured the female, attracting the male? It seemed this male fish was the female's husband, and upon discovering his mate had been captured by Cheng Xiaofan, he had rushed back for revenge.
Sweat! Did this fish want to become a spirit? Thinking this, Cheng Xiaofan's gaze turned cold. As a successor to the Divine Farmer's legacy, he could not afford to lose his composure to a mere fish. White Python Lake must not be allowed to be disrupted by the yellow-cheeked fish's rampage! If it wanted to eat his divine fish, it had to weigh its own capabilities.
With this thought, Cheng Xiaofan recalled the aerial drone from the sky and submerged it underwater. Although it was a second-hand purchase, the drone was excellent, capable of land, air, and water operations, still able to film underwater. Cheng Xiaofan immediately took off his shoes, donned a vest and shorts, gripped a harpoon, and with a splash, dove into the lake.
"The streamer is going to have a battle of three hundred rounds with the underwater monster!"
"Oh my great god brother, why don't you listen to my advice and insist on being reckless?"
"Everyone, guess what monster is underwater that's forcing our streamer to jump in?"
"Could it be a water monkey? Legends say water monkeys are strongest in the water!"
"I bet it's the yellow-cheeked fish. Didn't you hear the streamer introduce it? The yellow-cheeked fish's strength underwater is several times that of a water monkey!"
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan had dived to the bottom of the lake and immediately spotted the fish hiding beneath the boat. The fish was indeed as Taotie Bao had described, about three and a half meters long. He could hardly imagine such a massive yellow-cheeked fish lurking in White Python Lake. Fortunately, he had come today and discovered this species of yellow-cheeked fish. If he didn't eliminate this fish in time, no matter how many divine fish he stocked in the lake, they would all become its meal.
Cheng Xiaofan tied one end of the tiger vine around his waist, raised his harpoon, and fiercely thrust it towards the yellow-cheeked fish.
To his surprise!
The yellow-cheeked fish was more cunning than a ghost! It had seen Cheng Xiaofan enter the water long ago and was waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. As the harpoon flew towards it, it shook its head and caught the harpoon in its mouth.
"Holy crap, it really is a yellow-cheeked fish, this fish has become a spirit!"
"The streamer missed this time; the fish caught the thrown harpoon!"
"Streamer, you absolutely must not disappoint me; don't lose to a single fish!"
"Although the yellow-cheeked fish is the king of the waters, in my heart, streamer, you are the ancestor of the king of the waters!"
"Today, the underwater scene is ancestor versus villainous descendant!"
A group of fans frantically scrolled through the bullet comments, and at the same time, to encourage their streamer, they sent up more rockets.
This yellow-cheeked fish truly seemed to have become a spirit! It held the harpoon in its mouth and glared at Cheng Xiaofan. The unspoken message was: You captured my wife today, and I will kill you!
"You dare to give me that look!"
Anger surged in Cheng Xiaofan's heart. He retracted the tiger vine, channeled a surge of dragon power, and pulled back fiercely. With a snap, he broke off a row of the yellow-cheeked fish's teeth and retrieved the harpoon.
*Puff!*
The yellow-cheeked fish swung its massive tail and spat a stream of bloody water at Cheng Xiaofan. Cheng Xiaofan quickly dodged to the side, and the bloody water grazed his shoulder as it flew past.
*Hiss!*
A large patch of skin on his shoulder was scraped raw. Cheng Xiaofan's mouth twitched. This fish was quite ferocious!
Capitalizing on its momentum, the yellow-cheeked fish swung its tail and unexpectedly rammed into Cheng Xiaofan. Cheng Xiaofan dodged again, evading the attack. Then, he shifted his body and plunged the harpoon towards the yellow-cheeked fish once more.
As if anticipating this move, the yellow-cheeked fish flipped its body, dodged the thrusting harpoon, and then counterattacked, nudging Cheng Xiaofan.
*Gulp!*
Cheng Xiaofan gritted his teeth in pain and choked on a mouthful of water.
*Bang!*
The yellow-cheeked fish, still propelled by its momentum, rammed into Cheng Xiaofan again. Hit squarely, Cheng Xiaofan was flung out of the water and then back into the lake.
As the yellow-cheeked fish charged at Cheng Xiaofan yet again, it never expected that its old tactic would no longer work. To its surprise, this time it collided with the harpoon. The male yellow-cheeked fish’s eyes rolled back in pain. It swung its tail with all its might, wrenching its head free from the harpoon. A strong smell of blood immediately spread through the water.
