Chapter 68 - 66: Prelude to the Invasion of the Intelligent Species

Hang Yu is not acting on impulse.He obviously has a clear purpose for coming here.

Low-tier Fishmen are sub-intelligent species, inherently quite stupid, lacking the ability to organize an invasion of the current world, so they must have been sent by high-tier Fishmen!

High-tier Fishmen cannot pass through the current stage of the world rift.

They can only send a bunch of small fry to lead the way first.

After the Fishman monsters came to the current world, affected by the world law, their bodies and equipment became materialized. Although the hunting process no longer releases Spiritual Qi, you can directly obtain their equipment, and the Fishman monsters won’t come empty-handed to the real world; they’ll likely carry a lot of other materials.

This is definitely a great opportunity to scavenge resources!

On his way towards Riverside Road, Hang Yu encountered several Fishman Slaves.

This kind of stuff is really not necessary to be taken seriously; their movement speed is average, and their attributes are quite mediocre. Just a casual throw of a Flying Knife from a distance of over ten meters can take them down, basically leaving no chance to get close!

Hang Yu’s precision in throwing Flying Knives is simply frighteningly high.

Each Flying Knife hits the vital point accurately.

So he can insta-kill each Slave with ease.

Generally, when someone just masters Throwing Skills, without practicing for a week or so, they absolutely cannot reach this level. From the moment Hang Yu learned from the Skill Stone, his skill proficiency was already full, so he didn’t need to waste time practicing.

A hundred shots, a hundred hits, extremely skillful!

Wherever Hang Yu rode his bike, a flash of cold light and a whistling sound passed by, and Fishman Slaves fell in response; riding for forty minutes, he had already collected five Slave Hammers.

Though all are a heap of Dark Gray Level, no-durability garbage.

But now Spirit Realm Equipment is particularly scarce.

It still has some value, right!

These monsters have no collection value, but due to the guarantee of equipment drops, it’s a pretty good point for grinding monsters, considered a benefit to those with relatively low strength now.

Another Fishman monster appeared in sight.

This time it didn’t seem to be a Fishman Slave.

It is clearly taller and more robust than a Fishman Slave; its weapon is not a hammer, but a Long Spear.

"Eh? Fishman Servant!"

Hang Yu immediately recognized it.

Fishman Servant is a 2nd level ordinary monster.

So it must be stronger than Fishman Slave.

One Fishman Servant can equal two or three Fishman Slaves.

"Well, since a Fishman Servant has appeared, it means the target I’m looking for is nearby; let’s deal with this ugly one first."

Hang Yu flicked his hand and threw a Flying Knife.

Shot through one eye of the Fishman Servant on the spot.

Fishman Servant did not get insta-killed, making a painful and furious screech, viciously charging with its Long Spear.

Hang Yu held the bike with one hand while the other hand drew out another Flying Knife, throwing it into the Fishman Servant’s neck, hitting a fatal spot again.

Fishman Servant took two Flying Knives.

It became unstable, near death, but didn’t fall.

"Yo-ho, pretty thick blood, die for me!"

Hang Yu pedaled forcefully, quickly charging head-on, drew a White Equipment Long Blade, struck it down with one chop, then drifted the bike around back to the corpse.

Brake, stop, picked up the Long Spear, and threw it into Storage Space.

"My bike skills are truly getting better and better."

Hang Yu checked the attributes.

[Fish Hunting Spear], 1st level equipment, Gray Middle-Grade Quality, Physical Attack+2, Durability 2/10

1st level Light Gray Quality weapon?

This is indeed much better than Slave Hammer.

Of course, in Hang Yu’s eyes, it’s still garbage!

Hang Yu wouldn’t come here to collect a few pieces of no-durability 1st level Gray Equipment.

Jiang City now has hundreds of monster transition points, and quite a lot of resources can be collected; these garbage pieces of equipment aren’t the best choice.

Fishman Servants generally don’t stray too far from their base.

Since a Fishman Servant appeared here.

There must be a Fishman Camp nearby!

Hang Yu focused on searching nearby; the result was unsurprising, not far away on a river beach, he found what he was looking for.

A very simple small camp.

It was built on a shallow beach, the buildings piled with sand and stones, very close to the river, with faint visibility of Fishman Slaves swimming in and out, seemingly constantly transporting materials as the small camp was under construction.

Such a scene could be described as eerie.

Hang Yu wasn’t surprised at all.

What’s the deal with the Ghost Ship on the Yangtze River? Basically, it’s just the influence of a Fishman Race; they discovered a rift passage to the new world, so they plan to prepare to conquer this world early.

The problem is the rift is still too small.

Too strong beings cannot pass through!

They can only gather a batch of low-level sub-species, like Fishman Slaves and Fishman Servants, letting them first pass through the rift and arrive at the new world.

Even though the intelligence of low-level sub-intelligent creatures is almost like mentally challenged children, they will instinctively obey the orders of higher-tier species, capable of collection and construction.

A large number of Slaves and Servants were sent to the new world.

They will begin collecting materials, building camps, crafting equipment, even constructing outpost bases, making preparations for the formal invasion by advanced Fishman monsters, even high-intelligence Fishmen in the future!

However, this batch of Fishmen had bad luck.

Several boats unluckily drifted along the river to Jiang City.

This group of fools landed in the center of Jiang City, naturally attracting the attention of the local indigenous people, that is, Earthlings, but Fishman Slaves didn’t know, right? They just keep acting instinctually!

Damn Otherworld intelligent species.

Actually trying to touch a human city?

As a member of Jiang City, Hang Yu feels the need to do something.

Of course, Hang Yu is someone who wouldn’t do something if there’s no profit; Fishmen definitely carried a lot of materials and resources from the Spirit Realm, as long as he can sneak into the camp, there’ll surely be rewards!

Hang Yu happens to possess Stealth Skills.

He believes he is fully capable of doing it.

As the saying goes, if you don’t take advantage of opportunities when they arise, it’s foolish; why not do this lucrative task that requires nothing but a clever tactic? Why bother fighting monsters and collecting when you can directly steal what’s ready?

On a smaller scale.

These resources can promote cautious development in the early stages.

On a grand scale.

This is to nip the evil Otherworld colonizers in the bud.

It can be said to contribute to the defense of Jiang City, defense of all humanity, and even defense of Earth!

He parked his bike on the road, jumped over the railing to the river beach, stealthily approached the small camp.

Hang Yu first estimated the distance, roughly only about a hundred meters, immediately took out a Spiritual Power Potion, drank about half the amount... with the current total of Spiritual Power, drinking half is enough, otherwise, it would be too wasteful.

Commence action!

Hang Yu activated Stealth, his body became transparent, carefully sneaking in.

The Fishman Camp buildings were all piled directly with sand and rubble, unknown spells applied, making them seem very sturdy, their architectural style very strange, clearly incomprehensible to human aesthetics and concepts.

"Strange?"

"Why are there so few monsters?"

"Where did the Fishmen run off to?"

Before Hang Yu’s stealth ended, he found a corner to reveal himself.

The Fishmen’s sense of smell, vision, and hearing are generally average, with caution, they generally won’t detect him.

What puzzled him is the camp had very few monsters.

Logically speaking, this should be a monster nest.

Not saying hundreds or thousands, having dozens or hundreds wouldn’t be strange.

But after walking around, he found only seven or eight Slaves working.

Through a large number of fresh footprints on the shallow beach, Hang Yu judged that other Fishmen seemed to be collectively attracted by something and went out.

Well, Heaven helps the handsome guy.

If that’s the case, is there a need to act sneaky?

Hang Yu drew a Long Blade with his right hand, directly walked out, immediately discovered by the nearest two Slaves, unable to make a sound, one toppled over by a Flying Knife, the other chopped down directly.
