The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 85

Chapter 85 Fishing and Hunting Lake Star Python (1)
“Is this the area where the Lake Star Python lives?” Lei Xingfeng asked after disembarking.

Wu Zhen followed behind XinFeng. Ever since he advanced to Thousand Wheel Master, he had been extremely respectful to XinFeng. He hoped XinFeng would occasionally guide him. This effect was truly too good, but XinFeng knew that he had nothing left to guide him. During this period of time, what Wu Zhen needed was to consolidate his cultivation and proceed according to normal cultivation.

“Yes, the Lake Star Python was once found here. However, I didn’t manage to catch it back then. I hope that I can succeed this time.”

Zhong Geng added: “This is the place where we are most confident of seeing the Lake Star Python. Other places may not be certain. We only have one month’s time. When the time comes, we will have to go back.”

Many people began to move supplies from the ship. The wooden shed on the shore was very big, and the ground was covered with thick wooden boards to isolate the moisture on the ground. Thin veils were hung on all sides to shield against the raging mosquitoes and flies. A large wooden shed of several hundred square meters quickly became a suitable place to live.

XinFeng got a good position. He leaned against the lake and had a good view. There was no need to crowd with others. He was an independent space, a separate space separated by light veils.

As the commander, Zhong Geng lived in the middle of the wooden shed. In order to communicate more with Lei Xingfeng, Wu Zhen deliberately stayed next door to Lei Xingfeng.

The news of the two advancing had also reached Han Xiaobao’s ears. However, she had not reached the bottleneck yet. Although she was not in a hurry to break through, she was extremely envious. However, there was no reason for her to come to Lei Xingfeng.

Zhong Geng ordered his men to organize their weapons. The most important thing was the steel crossbow. It was about what Lei Xingfeng had expected. It was quite large and its arrows were astonishing. It was as thick as a child’s arm. It was made of steel. The arrows were also thick and had sharp barbs. There was a deep bloodletting slot on it. Once it hit, it would be equivalent to opening a blood ditch.

There were a total of eight steel crossbows. Each crossbow arm was three meters long and required a winch to string it. According to Lei Xingfeng’s guess, even if he resisted the steel arrow with this strength, it would be very difficult for him to do so. He did not know that his unique secret ring armor could not block the attack of the crossbow arrow. He did not want to test it. Due to the influence of his previous life, he instinctively felt a sense of fear towards the arrow.

Steel crossbows were installed on the bow of the eight wooden boats. Servants and fishermen began to maintain the crossbows. The main purpose of the crossbows was to debug and grease them. The crossbows were in a damp area, and others were not afraid of rust. Therefore, the eight crossbows were maintained and repaired by special personnel. This type of crossbow was very precious because its power could threaten Thousand Lun Master.

After resting for a day, it was also to allow Zhong Geng and Wu Zhen to consolidate their cultivation. They had just broken through, so it was inappropriate for them to start immediately.

The next morning, ten wooden boats left the dock, leaving a wooden boat as backup.

XinFeng’s wooden boat was the largest. The outer layer was wrapped in the skin of the Alligator Flood Dragon Fish. When the boat entered the deep water, some fishermen began to wipe the skin with the blood of the Alligator Flood Dragon Fish. Occasionally, they would scatter the fish meat into the lake water. The fish meat had already been chopped into minced pieces.

Zhong Geng held a thick steel harpoon in his hand, and Wu Zhen also held the same harpoon. He asked, “Do you want a harpoon?”

Pure steel harpoons have barbs. Once they pierce into the fish, they hook the fish. There are bundles of harpoons at their feet. Lei Xingfeng shook his head and smiled. “I have my own weapon.” As he spoke, he flipped his wrist and the black bow appeared in his hand. He took out six arrows made of pure steel and stabbed them into the bow of the ship.

Wu Zhen said, “Steel arrows have no strength under water.”

Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “Steel crossbows … are the same. Then you guys still need them, hehe.”

Wu Zhen immediately felt embarrassed and laughed. They would not use steel crossbows to directly attack underwater targets. They would definitely wait for them to emerge before attacking.

XinFeng said, “Are there any planks here?”

Zhong Geng Qi said, “What do you want a wooden board for? How big do you want a wooden board?”

Lei Xingfeng said, “A foot in size. It doesn’t matter if it’s bigger or smaller. It’s more or less fine. Find more.”

Wu Zhen said, “I’ll go find it.” He quickly found a dozen wooden planks and placed them on the deck.

Lei Xingfeng casually put it into Lunzang Space and said, “Is there anything else? Get more.”

Wu Zhen said, “Alright.” He immediately instructed Old Man Tian to look for another boat. After about half an hour, he brought back nearly a hundred small wooden boards, all of which were put into Lei Xingfeng by Lunzang Space.

The ten boats staggered on the surface of the lake for a whole day. It was dark before they returned to the camp. They saw nothing. The lake was calm and there were no Star Pythons or big fish. Just the flesh and blood of the Crocodile Flood Dragon Fish frightened all the fish away.

He had been busy for more than ten days. He left every morning and returned in the evening. He had never found the Lake Star Python. Even Zhong Geng became anxious. There were still ten days left. If he still couldn’t find it, this opportunity would be wasted.

Every evening, Lei Xingfeng would run to the top of the stone mountain to cultivate. During this period of time, he discovered that the air contained a large amount of lightning elements, causing him to cultivate and advance by leaps and bounds. Moreover, he knew that the local rainy season was about to arrive.

Early that morning, Lei Xingfeng boarded the boat according to his habits. He saw Zhong Geng staring at the lake in the distance with a worried expression. He comforted, “There’s no need to be too anxious. Even if this fishing and hunting isn’t successful, you still have other harvests.”

Zhong Geng said, “Yeah, I shouldn’t be so greedy. But I’ve been preparing for so many years, and I’ve been going back and forth a few times, but I haven’t succeeded at all. I’m really unwilling.”

Lei Xingfeng asked curiously, “Didn’t you see the Lake Star Python before, or even fought it once? What does it look like?”

Zhong Geng said, “It’s beautiful, with horns on his head, Well, about a meter long silver horn, “There’s a very long mouth, front claws, and back claws … We didn’t find a very long tail. Its outer skin doesn’t look like fish scales, but layers upon layers of superimposed objects. I don’t know what it is, but it can emit two rays of light. One is blue, the other is silver. It can defend against most attacks alternately.”

XinFeng was confused. It was difficult for him to recreate the Lake Star Python in his mind.

Wu Zhen also said, “Yes, it’s especially beautiful, but it’s exceptionally dangerous. We’ve lost a lot of people, so we can’t stop it at all.”

Lei Xingfeng said, “Wait, some of us can’t run away, we shouldn’t … We can’t get it, hehe, it depends on our luck and fortune.”

Someone came to report and said, “Master, the flesh and blood of the Crocodile Flood Dragon Fish isn’t much anymore. Do you still want to continue sprinkling it?”

Zhong Geng was even more depressed. He said, “Continue, sprinkle more this time. If we can’t find any more, we’ll leave. What do we need those flesh and blood for?” After that person agreed, he turned around and left. Immediately, barrels of flesh and blood were thrown out from the ship, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

It was almost noon when Lei Xingfeng suddenly stood up at the bow and said, “Coming!” He had a strong premonition that there was a powerful creature peeping at their fleet, heading in front of them.

Zhong Geng and Wu Zhen both stood up and asked in unison, “Where?”

Lei Xingfeng pointed to the front and said, “It should be right in front!” He wasn’t absolutely sure, but he knew in his heart that the Lake Star Python was in front.

Zhong Geng believed that Lei Xingfeng would not speak nonsense. He immediately ordered the ten boats to form an arc. Among them, the wooden boats with eight steel crossbows were arranged on both sides. On one side, there were four steel crossbows. The other boats were heading straight ahead.

The entire fleet immediately became nervous. Everyone, especially ordinary people, was quickly and nervously busy with their own work. Zhong Geng had said from the beginning that no mistakes were allowed. Whoever made any mistakes would die. Without killing him, the Lake Star Python could kill him. Everyone had to do their own work seriously. Even if the Lake Star Python was by his side, they had to complete their work.

For this reason, Zhong Geng had trained them for a long time, At this moment, he showed his efficiency. As soon as the order was given, the entire fleet moved quickly. There was almost no sign of disarray. Lei Xingfeng couldn’t help but praise. He was afraid that the fleet was a mob. He didn’t expect the fleet to have military methods. He acted swiftly and ordered them to stop. He said, “Not bad, not bad fleet.”

Wu Zhen explained softly, “Master has trained them for a long time.”

Lei Xingfeng nodded and thought to himself, “No wonder it’s like this. What’s trained is completely different from what’s not.” He smiled and said, “The previous failures were related to inadequate training?”

Wu Zhen was a little embarrassed and said, “The first two times, there was no training at all. It was a mess. The third time, there was training, but I couldn’t find the Lake Star Python. Haha.”

Lei Xingfeng couldn’t help but laugh. This was bad luck. He said, “This time, we will definitely succeed. As long as it comes out.”

It was just noon. The sun was shining brightly. The fog in the early morning had already dissipated. From the bow of the ship, one could see a very far place. The lake here was boundless and unfathomable. Furthermore, the lake was extremely deep. Zhong Geng had once sent people to investigate it. The water was more than a hundred meters deep, so it was impossible to explore it to the end.

The deeper the lake was, the more powerful the monster was. Everyone knew that only this kind of place was a good place for large-scale aquatic life. If it was a shallow water area, large fish wouldn’t be able to go. No matter how good the environment was, it would be useless.

A silver light flashed, followed by another blue light. A water mark appeared in the distance.

Zhong Geng shouted in surprise, “Really! That’s the Lake Star Python! Haha, hahaha, I’ve finally seen it again!”

Wu Zhen also shouted, “Good! Master, I’ll go to that boat!” He immediately boarded a very small boat. It was a small boat tied behind a large boat. It was specially designed to use the tools to arrive at each wooden boat. He was going to the big wooden boat where Tian Dabing was. He was the commander, and Tian Dabing was not qualified enough.
