[Can't... can't win?!]
[Some people fish for fish, some for joy, and this guy feeds the fish, for goodness' sake!]
[Whoa! I think I saw a murderous look in that fish's eyes?]
The sudden intrusion of the fisherman was something Ansheng completely didn't expect, and even Ah Qing and Mo Yiqing, who were filming the live stream on the shore, were stunned.
In the river, the fisherman who originally landed inside simply couldn't beat the bighead carp.
The bighead carp was nearly 30 pounds, almost a meter long, covered in dense scales, slippery all over, and fighting in the river, the person simply couldn't catch that wildly thrashing, bouncing fish.
In the moment Ansheng was momentarily stunned, the bighead carp headbutted the fisherman's face, hitting right on his nose and ramming him against the rough wall of the embankment.
Having floored one person, the bighead carp dived to the river's bottom, leaving the fisherman scrambling back to the shore, but unable to escape with vital parts grabbed by the bighead carp.
In less than three seconds.
The bighead carp dragged the fisherman a meter to the river's center.
Next, the bighead carp leaped, slapping the fisherman's face with its tail, then delivering a brutal headbutt to his groin after landing, jumping up for another slap.
Two combos later, the entire fisherman was pressed against the wall by the bighead carp, eyes wide, gasping in disbelief at the fish in the river.
"Spit—"
The bighead carp opened its mouth, sucking in a mouthful of river water and spraying it over the two fishermen's faces.
Are you kidding?
After all, I used to follow the big monster fish ruling the Changle River!
Countless fishing rods have broken, and you guys like this want to fish me out for sauerkraut fish? You really are sour, weak, and redundant!
The bighead carp rolled its eyes and swam back to Master Fox's tail, obediently opening its mouth and gently holding onto Master Fox's tail, acting like a fool.
Near Master Fox, the ferocity and severity on the bighead carp's face completely disappeared, the fish appearing half-dead.
"....."
Ansheng walked to the steps, while the bighead carp flapped obediently, following Master Fox onto the shore.
"Brother! Your acting is too poor, right? We're trying to create some show effect, but you almost turned it into a fantasy blockbuster."
Ansheng climbed the steps, looking at the dismissed and flailing bighead carp beside him, and complained.
As Ansheng spoke, he glanced up to see only one fisherman left, after two had been beaten, glaring at the fat bighead carp in disbelief.
No... fat isn't quite right; that bighead carp should be described as robust.
And the only fisherman who hadn't entered the water had the same suspicious expression, looking from his carbon fiber rod to the bighead carp.
He couldn't shake the feeling that humans catching fish was just a scheme between the carbon fiber rod factory and the River God, with humans feeding the fish, and the fish agreeing not to attack when caught.
Yu Xueqing's live stream chat flew by.
The little fox using its tail to fish, but also being able to actually catch fish, was quite heartwarming and harmonious.
Overall, it did create an effect for the show.
But this kind of live streaming effect still couldn't compare to the amusement of fishermen getting humiliated by big fish in the river.
Nearly ten thousand viewers in the live stream all witnessed the bighead carp spraying water onto the fishermen's cheeks.
Some fellow fishermen even started analyzing it in the live stream.
[Sea King gifted a music note: Streamer, I know you're at the Changle River, but which section? I'm a local from Jiule City, I'll head over to fish, I really doubt the fish situation is this aggressive.]
"Uh... I'm here at Changping Village, just inside from Changping Animal Hospital's alley corner."
The chat was buzzing, with the viewers all expressing their shock at what they just witnessed.
And the real fishermen, seeing the wonder of the fox's tail catching fish, instantly lit up, determining the fish situation there was wild, immediately asking Ah Qing for a location so they could come cast a few rods themselves.
"Do you guys really want to come fishing?" Ah Qing noticed the recent tip-giver seemed serious and quickly spoke up, "Better not, I just heard that fish say, there are more than ten others like it at the bottom that can fight like that. The largest carp even weighs close to a hundred pounds."
"There's even a legendary fish king? Fishing here is quite dangerous."
[???]
[???]
Ah Qing had not only recently begun streaming, and the viewers hadn't only just started watching Ah Qing's stream either.
They all vaguely knew, Ah Qing could seemingly communicate with animals to some extent.
Which means...
The section of the river Ah Qing was at, for some unknown reason, gathered numerous behemoths, even ones dubbed as fish kings, hiding at the river's bottom!
"Zzz—"
The fishermen in the live stream went wild, but what surprised all the viewers even more was a Five Spirits Van that immediately screeched to a halt on the highway by the river.
Four brawny men darted out of the front and back seats, opening the trunk, grabbing fishing rods and tackle boxes, rushing to the riverbank full of excitement.
"Thanks for the divine guidance, streamer. I'll definitely reward you once I catch a fish."
"Ah???"
Ah Qing, Mo Yiqing, Chen Zhiyu, all looked dumbfounded towards the van's passengers.
Rational fishermen were still analyzing, while true fishing enthusiasts had already packed up upon seeing the big fish on the fox tail.
"This is absurd... go, get your boss, arrange for some battle-ready fish to come here, help our Ah Qing create some show effect, and stall for me."
Seeing unfamiliar fishermen arrive, Ansheng's face couldn't hold back the difficulty, patting the bighead carp, indicating it to find the monster fish to arrange some enforcers to spar with those professional fishermen.
"Woof woof woof—"
As the bighead carp retreated, a familiar barking sounded from the shore.
Ansheng was stunned, looked back to see a Tu Song with completely shaved fur lying on the railings of the embankment, grinning widely, barking at him with a tail wagging briskly.
"Ah Bai? Why are you here?" Ansheng's expression slightly froze upon seeing Ah Bai.
"Howl——"
Ah Bai ran down the stone steps to Master Fox's side, glancing cautiously around before speaking:
"Master Fox, we've all heard about it, you were attacked when taking territory, we're here to help."
"Don't worry! I didn't come alone, while my little owner wasn't noticing, I got some old De and old Ma to bring things along, now everything's hidden and supporting in the fish cargo truck."
"All the K9 patrols along the way have been notified, they won't backstab us."
"Brought tools? Like last time?" Ansheng looked at Ah Bai in shock.
"Howl——"
Ah Bai shook his head, indicating Master Fox would see with him later.
Last time it was just a shotgun.
After encountering an attack at sea, Ah Bai painfully realized the limitations of the Spirit Beasts.
He indeed had strength, but his hands were short!
While human hot weapons could perfectly make up for the Spirit Beasts' limitations!
Ansheng: "......"
Did... did I say something?
I just asked everyone to help find a vehicle, how did Ah Bai end up bringing out an entire arsenal?
