93: The real water monster is coming

“Didn't Xiangbei want to buy a yacht and move to the sea?”

“From now on, let's find an Ornamental Fish that lives in the sea and give them more 'care'.”

“Anyway, we've already collected all the varieties of Lionhead Goldfish, it's time to move on to the next map!”

Zhao Hu thought about it and felt it made sense. The album was already full, so collecting more of the same thing wouldn't be interesting.

It would be better to choose a new track and complete the album for that track.

This will be a new achievement!

After the two brothers reached a tacit understanding, they decided to go back and carefully study the matter of their "new love."

Time passed bit by bit.

Chen Xiangbei had already fished this area of aquatic plants clean.

After carefully observing the surrounding area with high-powered binoculars and confirming that only some small雜魚 were left.

He returned to the cockpit, started the vessel, and headed to the next hunting location.

This time, he set his sights on the outermost edge of the Ecology and Technology Company's contracted area, wanting to see if there was anything to be gained in places he hadn't been before.

After sailing for about 15 minutes, he arrived at the connection point between the contracted area and the non-contracted area.

Chen Xiangbei walked onto the deck and looked out at the distant lake surface.

He found that the fish activity on the surface of the non-contracted area opposite was unusually lively.

Perhaps it was precisely because that area was not affected by Human activities, allowing fish to thrive and reproduce in a relatively peaceful and natural environment.

It seemed to have become an isolated underwater paradise, with no boats disturbing the water flow, no fishing nets blocking their path, and no fishermen disrupting their life rhythm.

As a result, the fish schools could swim, forage, and reproduce freely.

This unrestrained state of survival gave the fish more opportunities to grow strong and gradually expand their population size.

Thus, this mysterious and peaceful body of water nurtured prosperous and numerous fish schools.

Although he couldn't cross the boundary to fish there, he could attract the fish from there.

Wouldn't this be considered a legitimate fishing area?

Thinking of this, he reversed the boat a distance, creating more space for the legitimate fishing area to avoid accidentally crossing the boundary.

After stopping the boat, he went to the deck and sprinkled a handful of Secret Bait onto the nearby water surface.

When the Secret Bait emitted a rich aroma, the distant fish schools surged over from all directions, much like tadpoles looking for their mother.

If someone with trypophobia saw the surging lake surface, they would likely die on the spot.

Looking at the dense school of fish, Chen Xiangbei couldn't feel happy.

This was because the vast majority of this fish school were雜魚, and Ornamental Fish were as rare among them as the comparison between the most populous country and the least populous country in the world.

It was most difficult to catch good fish in such a dense school, so he could only retreat and find a new fishing spot.

But just as he was about to leave, this massive school of fish suddenly fled like startled birds.

It seemed they had encountered something that made them very afraid, forcing them to flee frantically.

Facing this scene, Chen Xiangbei was also at a loss.

At this moment, Chen Wen walked out of the cockpit and said to him, “Xiangbei, did something happen?”

“I don't know what's going on, there was a huge school of fish here just now, and suddenly they seemed to be startled by something and fled frantically.”

“I think I might know the reason, come with me.” Chen Wen motioned for him to enter the cockpit.

After Chen Xiangbei followed him into the cockpit, Chen Wen pointed to the sonar display and said.

“Look at what this is?”

Following the direction of Chen Wen's finger, he saw a blood-red dot appearing on the sonar display, flashing brightly.

Chen Xiangbei quickly leaned in, turned the sonar power to maximum, and also turned on the rangefinding, object detection, and other functions.

“Beep beep beep beep~”

When all these functions were turned on, the sonar alarm emitted a series of dense and piercing alarm sounds.

Chen Xiangbei's heart instantly tightened. According to the instructions for these functions included with the Advanced Driving Technique.

When the alarm sound from the sonar alarm is very dense, it indicates that something mysterious and threatening to the vessel's safety is approaching in the water.

He looked at the distance between the mysterious creature and the vessel, which was less than 50 meters.

“Woo woo woo——” Accompanied by the sharp, piercing alarm sound, Chen Xiangbei pressed the vessel's whistle button he was holding tightly without hesitation.

The sound was like a sharp sword piercing the sky, spreading outwards with endless majesty and warning.

He hoped to scare away this mysterious big guy with the sound of the whistle.

If you were to look down from a high altitude now.

You would see a solitary scientific research vessel anchored on the calm lake surface.

And directly below the scientific research vessel, a huge black shadow, twice the size of the vessel, completely enveloped the vessel!

Chen Xiangbei kept pressing the whistle button, staring intently at the sonar rangefinder.

Watching the red dot get closer and closer to the vessel, his heart became increasingly nervous.

The hand holding the whistle button was already covered in fine sweat, and the back of his clothes was wet and sticking to his back.

As the mysterious giant object continued to approach, its speed became slower and slower, as if the closer it got to the vessel, the louder the sound of the whistle it heard.

Chen Wen and Zhao Hu were also covering their ears nervously at this time.

When they saw Chen Xiangbei's extremely uneasy expression, they knew that this matter was already very dangerous and serious.

Because back then, even when facing the Baiyun Lake Water Monster, he hadn't shown a trace of panic.

When fighting with the Chinese sturgeon, Chen Xiangbei's expression was very natural, even with a hint of excitement.

In contrast, the face he had now was full of deep worry and anticipation.

It was like a parched and barren land that had been dry for many years, desperately craving the nourishment of sweet rain, that thirst for the water of life was almost insane!

This extremely intense desire seemed to have surpassed the simple need for survival, and was more like an instinctive reaction caused by a deep inner lack of something.

And what exactly was it that made him so worried, we don't know...

The sonar rangefinder showed the object getting closer and closer.

15 meters.

14 meters.

13 meters.

12 meters.

11 meters.

Finally, at a distance of 10 meters, the mysterious creature stopped and didn't get any closer!

Then the distance slowly increased again.

11 meters.

12 meters.

13 meters...

Chen Xiangbei still didn't dare to release the whistle button.

When he saw the mysterious creature starting to move away, he breathed a deep sigh of relief.

“Whoosh~!”

After about five minutes, there was no longer any abnormality detected on the sonar display.

It should have already left the maximum range of the sonar detection.
