PNB Chapter 305: Careless
Chapter 305: Careless
Upon seeing this, Cang Nian's eyes lit up.
Compared to the third-tier sailfish that Bai Jue caught before, this ferocious great white shark with its huge mouth is much larger!
Judging by its appearance, it is the largest creature that Cang Nian has ever seen in reality, apart from the Black King Serpent and the Queen Insect!
No wonder Qin Changyi's own spiritual power was insufficient to pull it up; he needed Yi Chen's help to barely complete the task.
With a moment of amazement, Yi Chen didn't hesitate for long before slamming his fist towards the great white shark's massive head!
The great white shark, pinned down by the fishhook, could not open its mouth, nor could it move its head; only its tail and body could struggle.
But clearly, with its physical structure, it was no match for the attacks of the old man!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~!
Just as Cangnian rushed to within about five meters of it, the water vapor around Cangnian suddenly condensed!
The condensed water vapor quickly turned into bean-sized water droplets, which then expanded rapidly, completely enveloping the rushing dragon in an instant!
Cang Nian felt streams of water enveloping him, surrounding him, and lifting him up, preventing him from landing and leaving him with nowhere to take hold.
That wasn't all; these streams of water, like thin snakes, burrowed into the pores of his body!
Some were drilling into their nostrils, while others were flushing their mouths, trying to pry them open and suffocate themselves.
Some even rammed their own ears into the air. In an instant, Cang Nian felt a sharp pain in both ears, followed by a ringing in his ears and then complete silence.
This sudden attack terrified Cangnian. He opened his eyes in the water and, ignoring the impact and pressure of the current, located the great white shark. Then he opened his mouth wide!
Clang~!
As the mouth opened, the water, thick with age, tried to rush in, but a beam of bluish-white sword light burst forth, shattering the water sphere and landing precisely behind the head of the great white shark that had been pulled ashore!
Cha~!
A perfectly straight cut, almost invisible, separated the great white shark's head from its body, leaving a thin line that stretched for an unknown distance on the beach!
The great white shark, which was still struggling, did not realize that it had been slashed. It continued to struggle for a couple more times, which led to its head being separated from its body, and it finally stopped completely.
Pa~!
As the cyan and white sword light was released, it dispersed the water that had enveloped Cang Nian, allowing him to land. The falling water droplets wet the beach.
[Ding! Killed a prey, Killing Skill Proficiency +12345! (660345/1000000)]
Then, a system notification sounded, allowing Cang Nian to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Phew... I was too careless."
Is it because I haven't encountered any particularly powerful enemies lately, or because hunting sailfish and sea spiders has been too easy, causing me to lose my vigilance?
The ocean is not like the land; an individual like me is insignificant in the face of the entire ocean.
No one knows if I'll encounter someone stronger than me next, someone who could easily cause me great suffering, or even cost me my life.
Cang Nian thought to himself with lingering fear.
The water flow just now was undoubtedly a superpower of this great white shark.
Unable to use the simplest and most brutal method of physical combat, the Great White Shark cleverly chose to use its superpowers.
Although it's just a common water-attribute ability, once you reach the third tier, the strength of the ability won't be too low. With skillful use, even a common ability can produce amazing results.
Like this time, I almost got caught.
After reflecting on his carelessness, Cangnian turned to look at Yichen.
"Ow~!"
With a howl at Yichen, Cangnian raised its left paw, pointed to its left ear, then raised its right paw and pointed to its right ear.
Then he saw that Yichen's mouth was opening and closing, as if he was asking something, but Cangnian could not hear the sound.
The battle had just taken only a moment. The great white shark used its water-based abilities to propel the water into his nostrils and ear canals, instantly piercing his fragile eardrums. As a result, he could not hear any sound other than his own.
If he hadn't reacted quickly, the great white shark would have continued to let the water flow down, which could have damaged his brain, and that would have been truly fatal!
Seeing Yichen's mouth opening and closing as he asked a question, Cangnian didn't care what he was saying and just nodded quickly.
Given Yichen's and his own tacit understanding, he wouldn't misunderstand such simple body language.
The next second, Yi Chen activated his superpower, and Cang Nian could tell from his lip movements that it was "Decree! Heal!"
Then, a verdant light enveloped Cangnian, and after a short while, Cangnian regained his hearing.
"...Master! Can you hear me now?"
With his hearing restored, Yi Chen's voice rang in Cang Nian's ears, and he nodded.
"Luckily, the tiger reacted quickly, otherwise it would have been in danger!"
Seeing Cangnian nod, Bai Jue said with relief.
When they saw Cang Nian being enveloped by the great white shark's current, they didn't think there was anything seriously wrong.
After all, Cangnian's strength is evident to all, and even if he is ambushed, he will not be in immediate danger.
In addition, both Bai Jue and Qin Changyi had exhausted their spiritual energy and were temporarily unable to activate their special abilities, so no one was willing to step forward to help them so quickly.
But unexpectedly, in just a moment, Cang Nian's eardrum ruptured.
The ear canal connects to the inside of the skull, passes through internal tissues, and connects to the brain.
If it had been any later, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Ow~!"
Cangnian shook his head at this.
Although it was quite dangerous just now, the gains this time were considerable.
On the one hand, a third-order evolved creature weighing over twelve tons is itself a top prey at this stage.
On the other hand, this also directly proves that using Bai Jue's transformation ability to make fishing rods to attract prey in the ocean is indeed a feasible method!
The vast ocean is certainly full of highly evolved creatures of enormous size.
But finding them in the murky water is not an easy task.
Just like before the spiritual energy revival, for most creatures, the most time-consuming part of hunting was finding prey.
Just now, I swam to an unknown distance and dived into the seabed. Along the way, I only encountered some small fish and shrimp, and there were quite a few large sea spiders on the seabed.
Finding quality prey in the ocean using normal methods would take a considerable amount of time.
But with the "Steve Fishing Rod" made by Bai Jue, attracting prey becomes much easier!
Although it seems that a single fishing rod can only attract one prey at a time, which is a bit inefficient, if you make more fishing rods, the efficiency will naturally increase!
Moreover, this is not entirely a drawback.
At least, this mechanism, which can only attract one prey at a time, will not cause a large number of marine creatures to rush in.
If the number is too large, and there are too many powerful third-tier evolved creatures among them, then it's hard to say who will hunt whom.
