88: Mysterious creature appears

After waiting for a moment, the mysterious creature they had long hoped for finally surfaced.

However, its body emitted an exceptionally strong light, making it unclear what it was from a distance.

It was also unknown how large its body was or how long it was.

At this time, the scientific research vessel was still more than a hundred meters away from the mysterious creature.

The reason it stayed so far away was likely that it was testing, wanting to see if there was any danger before deciding whether to come over and eat the seemingly tempting food.

Chen Xiangbei remained motionless, maintaining the posture of being ready to cast his rod at any moment, fearing he might disturb its judgment.

After a while.

The mysterious creature swam agilely in the water.

Suddenly, it changed its direction of swimming, heading towards an area away from the scientific research vessel.

This movement seemed a bit hesitant, as if it was probing something, filled with vigilance towards this unfamiliar vessel.

It swam slowly, occasionally stopping to observe its surroundings, cautiously sensing the changes in the surrounding current and sounds.

Each pause made one feel its inner caution, seemingly assessing whether it was safe to approach the scientific research vessel.

Despite this, it never had the courage to approach the scientific research vessel directly, maintaining a certain distance instead.

As if that area of water held some kind of irresistible allure and fearful power for it.

As time passed, the mysterious creature still lingered in the distance, sometimes swimming faster, sometimes stopping to observe again.

Its behavior grew increasingly curious, also sparking more speculation from Chen Xiangbei. Was this mysterious creature afraid of Humans or afraid of this massive scientific research vessel?

In the silent lake water, every move of the mysterious creature was full of unknowns, while Chen Xiangbei kept his eyes fixed on its figure, not daring to relax for a moment.

After an unknown amount of time.

The mysterious creature could no longer resist and finally swam slowly towards him.

At this moment, sweat had appeared in Chen Xiangbei's palms, and he wiped his hands on his clothes.

Then he stared intently at the moving point of light.

Just as the mysterious creature swam up to the side of the boat, he noticed that the light emitted from its body was no longer as intense as before.

Now he could roughly see what its shape was like.

Under the observation of his 5.2 titanium alloy dog eyes, he finally saw the true appearance of this mysterious creature.

It turned out to be a relatively large, faintly transparent fish.

The location where it emitted light was somewhat similar to the Starlight Fish raised at home; they both glowed due to certain substances on the surface of their bodies undergoing different chemical reactions in a natural environment.

Chen Xiangbei placed the bait in advance on its path, waiting for it to fall into the trap.

As the mysterious creature got closer and closer, the scent emitted by the Secret Bait became even more enticing.

When it approached the large ball of bait, desire finally overcame reason.

It quickly swam towards the bait, opening its seemingly non-existent mouth, and took a bite of the bait.

Just as it was about to enjoy the unparalleled deliciousness, a huge force pierced its upper lip, and the intense pain caused it to struggle wildly.

The more it struggled, the stronger the pain became, and slowly, even breathing became difficult.

It turned out that it had already been lifted up by Chen Xiangbei, leaving it wriggling in the air.

"Hehe, I can still handle you, you small fish. What if you're cautious? Didn't I still lift you up!"

Chen Xiangbei looked at this fish emitting a soft purple light, feeling extremely happy.

He put it into the fish box and fed it some Secret Bait to prevent it from "dying of anger".

Then he carried the fish box back to the cockpit and called Chen Wen and his brother to analyze and admire it together.

"Wen-ge, Hu Ge, come quickly and take a look at what kind of fish this is, it's really bright!"

Chen Wen and the other person were currently watching a TV series intently. After hearing Chen Xiangbei's shout, they both came over.

The three of them just squatted together like this, with their hands on their knees, staring intently at the mysterious fish.

This large fish was dazzlingly bright, massive in size, and completely crystal clear.

It made the three brothers feel incredibly shocked and amazed. They widened their eyes, their gaze locked tightly onto this magical fish, afraid of missing any detail.

They saw that the fish's scales shimmered with dazzling light, as if inlaid with countless stars.

Its body lines were smooth and natural, and every movement was full of power and beauty.

And its clear and transparent eyes were set in its head like two gems, revealing a mysterious and profound aura.

The three brothers were captivated by the beautiful scene before them, and an inexpressible feeling of joy welled up in their hearts.

They quietly admired this beautiful fish, feeling the uncanny workmanship and endless charm of nature, as if time had stopped at this moment.

After staring for a while, Zhao Hu was the first to speak.

"Oh my heavens! Isn't this fish the same as those seven glowing fish from last time?"

"The light emitted by this fish is even more dazzling than those four fish combined, it's too beautiful!"

"No! This fish is different from those seven fish!" Chen Wen seemed to have noticed something and retorted.

"Look at the way this fish glows, isn't it very special?"

"The glowing fish at Xiangbei's place, their way of glowing is in dots, like stars, twinkling."

"But the way this fish glows is linear; its light is like a thread, shining continuously."

After Chen Wen's analysis, Zhao Hu also reacted and quickly agreed.

"That's right! The way this fish glows is different, and there's a big difference in size between them."

"The size of this fish is clearly several times larger than those seven fish, and their transparency is also different."

"That's right, the transparency of this fish is much greater than that of the fish at my place, and they look completely different."

Chen Xiangbei had the longest contact with them, and he added some details about the differences.

"I'm really envious of you, you caught an even more beautiful glowing fish in such a short time!" Chen Wen said with an envious look.

"What's there to be envious of? Didn't I share them with you before? You can't blame me if you didn't want them!"

"Besides, if you want to see fish in the future, you can come to my place. This fish is really interesting, hehe~" Chen Xiangbei said with a mysterious smile.

"Hmm? What's interesting?"

"Does this fish have any other special features?"

Zhao Hu's curiosity was successfully piqued by Chen Xiangbei, and he quickly asked.

Chen Xiangbei smiled mysteriously, lowered his voice, and said to him, "It can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words!"

"Hahaha!"

"Holy crap, brother! You can't keep me in suspense like this, tell me quickly."

Zhao Hu was now truly itching with curiosity from being kept in suspense.
