In the depths of the lake, a fish nearly three meters long swam at an extremely fast speed, chasing a school of angelfish.
These angelfish were released by Cheng Xiaofan when he first discovered White Python Lake.
He immediately spotted the large fish, a famous Yellow-Cheeked Carp, also known as a "water tiger" due to its large size and its diet of other fish.
The Yellow-Cheeked Carp itself had very tender and delicious meat, making it both liked and hated by people.
The main reason for the hatred was its destructive nature in the water; if a Yellow-Cheeked Carp appeared in a fishpond, it would eat all the other fish clean.
It was no exaggeration to call the Yellow-Cheeked Carp the ruler of the waters.
At this very moment, Cheng Xiaofan discovered that the angelfish he had released were being chased by the Yellow-Cheeked Carp in a panic, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.
He also noticed that the Yellow-Cheeked Carp seemed to have eyes only for the angelfish; other fish that occasionally swam past it were completely ignored.
Clearly, the Yellow-Cheeked Carp had already preyed on the angelfish, and having tasted them, knew that angelfish were the most delicious among all fish species.
If the Yellow-Cheeked Carp were not eliminated, it was estimated that there would be no place for angelfish to survive in White Python Lake.
The strength of this Yellow-Cheeked Carp in the water was terrifying, let alone one nearly three meters long; its power was unimaginable.
Even the Sky-Breaking Eagle might not be its match if it were to capture it.
Cheng Xiaofan suddenly remembered that in the secret chamber beneath Wanghu Tower last time, he had found a trident among a pile of weapons.
He quickly leaped ashore and rushed to Wanghu Tower.
Bending down, he moved aside the heavy stone slab, carrying the sun lamp, and entered the basement.
He opened the stone door again, and a pile of weapons appeared before him.
Cheng Xiaofan walked over and picked up the trident.
He weighed it in his hand; it should be over eighty catties.
Although it was already covered in rust, once polished, it would undoubtedly be a rare sharp weapon.
Immediately, Cheng Xiaofan took the trident into the Shennong Space and, with his will, quickly sharpened and polished the trident to a brilliant shine.
Looking at the gleaming trident, Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly and left the space.
Leaving Wanghu Tower, he went up the mountain and found a long old vine. He cut it with a knife, stripped off the leaves, and firmly tied it to the rear handle of the trident.
This type of Tiger Vine was rumored to be used for binding tigers, possessing immense toughness and strong tensile strength.
Using the Tiger Vine to tie the trident was stronger than any rope.
Cheng Xiaofan returned to the boat and activated his X-ray vision again, scanning the lakebed.
His X-ray vision was incredibly powerful; any prey he looked at, no matter how far it ran, he could trace its clues.
Cheng Xiaofan's gaze swept from the lakebed outwards.
Far in the distance, he saw the Yellow-Cheeked Carp herding a group of angelfish and turning back.
Good, here it comes!
Cheng Xiaofan's heart rejoiced.
He immediately moved the boat to the best position.
He tightly gripped the end of the Tiger Vine with his left hand and raised the trident with his right.
As the Yellow-Cheeked Carp approached, Cheng Xiaofan swung the trident in his hand and fiercely plunged it into the water.
*Plop!*
The trident, without deviating, struck the Yellow-Cheeked Carp directly on its back.
*Splash!*
The Yellow-Cheeked Carp, in pain, leaped out of the water more than a meter high, its massive form resembling a monster under the sunlight.
*Thump!*
When it fell back into the water, the spray it created was exceptionally violent.
"Woof woof!"
Naughty Kid jumped to Cheng Xiaofan's feet, as if ready to fight the Yellow-Cheeked Carp at any moment.
The Sky-Breaking Eagle also flew to the bow of the boat, its eyes emitting two sharp rays of light.
"You two stay back!"
Cheng Xiaofan said calmly and composedly, "This large fish is too ferocious in the water; it's not something you can handle."
"Let me deal with it slowly!"
The Yellow-Cheeked Carp struggled in the water, trying to shake off the trident on its back.
But the barbs on the trident had already penetrated deep into the fish's flesh; no matter how much power it had underwater, how could it easily break free?
Strands of bright red fish blood floated to the surface from beneath the water.
Cheng Xiaofan tightly gripped the Tiger Vine in his hand, letting the Yellow-Cheeked Carp struggle blindly in the water, waiting for its strength to be mostly depleted before he would make his move.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he turned on his live stream.
"Hello everyone, today I'll show you the Yellow-Cheeked Carp I've caught!"
Facing the camera, Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly and said leisurely, "The Yellow-Cheeked Carp is also known as the water tiger or yellow bone fish, and it is the ruler of the waters."
"The Yellow-Cheeked Carp is yellowish-green, with a pale yellow belly, no scales, and few bones internally. Its meat is fine and tender, highly favored by gourmets."
"The Yellow-Cheeked Carp feeds on other fish, grows rapidly, and can typically reach lengths of about two meters."
"The Yellow-Cheeked Carp I'm about to catch is nearly three meters long. It's truly rare for a Yellow-Cheeked Carp to grow this large!"
As soon as he finished speaking, bullet comments flooded the live stream.
"A three-meter-long Yellow-Cheeked Carp, I've never heard of such a thing!"
"Streamer, where's the fish, show it to us!"
"What are you doing dragging a rope, casting a net?"
"Look quickly, the rope in the streamer's hand is stretched straight and is moving violently; they must have caught a big fish!"
"Streamer, be careful not to capsize the boat!"
*Splash!*
Unable to escape the trident, the Yellow-Cheeked Carp leaped out of the water again, this time more than three meters high.
"Holy cow, I can see it clearly, it's indeed a big Yellow-Cheeked Carp!"
"A trident is stuck in the Yellow-Cheeked Carp's back!"
"Why didn't the streamer broadcast the part where they speared the fish?"
As the Yellow-Cheeked Carp leaped out of the water and sank back down, Cheng Xiaofan determined that its strength had been almost depleted.
Seizing this opportunity, he suddenly shook the Tiger Vine in his hand.
As the trident moved with the shaking of the Tiger Vine, the Yellow-Cheeked Carp felt such pain that it was almost going to faint.
It flicked its tail, but had no strength left to struggle.
Mission accomplished!
Cheng Xiaofan quickly reeled in the Tiger Vine.
"Screech!"
Just as the Yellow-Cheeked Carp surfaced, the Sky-Breaking Eagle spread its wings and swooped down.
It extended its sharp talons, grabbed the Yellow-Cheeked Carp, and threw it ashore.
Cheng Xiaofan then landed on the shore and retrieved the trident from the Yellow-Cheeked Carp.
"Woof woof!"
As the Yellow-Cheeked Carp thrashed on land in its final death throes, Naughty Kid butted it on the head. The Yellow-Cheeked Carp rolled its eyes and fainted.
Hmph, if I don't show some skill now, my owner will look down on me!
"Haha, witnessing Naughty Kid's iron head skill again, awesome!"
"This eagle and dog combo is too perfect, streamer, can I borrow them for a couple of days?"
"This eagle and dog are what I lost here in my past life, streamer, don't be a scoundrel, give them back!"
...
Cheng Xiaofan knew that there was definitely more than one Yellow-Cheeked Carp in White Python Lake. He slowly moved towards the center of the lake, his feet treading lightly.
