Chapter 102: Escape

My master once said that the more critical and dangerous the situation, the more one must keep one’s mind clear and not think too much! Concentrating one’s mental energy on a single goal will often lead to a solution.

Don’t doubt the power of the human spirit. It’s like always thinking about a bad thing, it often really happens. At a critical moment of crisis, don’t think about the bad possibilities, just think about your goal.

Therefore, I will not think about the existence of those things under the water not far away, nor will I think about how fast the Penglai is… I only think about how I am going to get close to that big fish.

In fact, I am not a good swimmer, but at this moment, the guidance of spiritual power and an unyielding will allowed my body to burst to the limit. I could feel my speed in the water, almost like an arrow leaving the bow, approaching the big fish in an instant.

In the surging waves, I tried to stabilize my body and reached out to raise the spear. The big fish seemed to sense that this time it was in real danger and began to struggle violently, churning up huge waves and trying to throw me away, but in return it only brought more painful groans from Wal-Mart.

I had to admit that this trick worked. Several times, its huge body hit me, and if I hadn’t leaned against the Penglai in time, I would have been thrown out. Under its struggle, it was impossible for me to shoot!

The difference is that it doesn’t care about the passage of time, but I can’t afford to waste a second.

It didn’t stop attacking me, and for some reason, it refused to let go of Wal-Mart. In this chaotic situation, I thought I had no choice but to fight! Of course, I also needed some luck…

Once again, the big fish began to writhe, twisting its body and slamming into me again. This time I was leaning against the Penglai, and in that instant, I pulled the trigger on the spear gun. The harpoon on the spear gun made a muffled ‘peng’ sound and stabbed the big fish at an astonishing speed.

Thankfully, the fish was so big and the target so clear that the shot fired in the panic actually hit the fish’s body without a hitch!

“Wal-Mart! Hold on, in a moment, ten seconds, I promise!” I held the spear tightly and shouted to Wal-Mart, who was still hanging on the hull of the boat. Wal-Mart looked at me weakly, his eyes already a little scattered, but he still weakly nodded to me.

The big fish was stabbed by the harpoon and struggled even more violently, but at the same time, it was unable to shake me off. I could use the sturdy rope between the harpoon and the spear gun to approach the big fish, stabilize my position, and no longer be afraid of being shaken off.

This was my risky gamble, but it was also the reason I convinced Wal-Mart to go ahead with it, because I expected the fish to struggle even more violently.

I took a deep breath, gripped the spear, and pulled the rope. I exerted all my strength and finally got close to the big fish.

I clung to it, feeling its slimy, cold, huge body. I used my legs to hold it, and it struggled even more violently. At this point, I roared and almost used all my strength to hold it tightly, fighting against the force.

Then I grabbed the end of the spear, and at that moment my muscles expanded to the limit, and with a roar, I pulled out the spear.

Without any hesitation, I reached out and grabbed the fish’s lips. Its sharp teeth also pierced my palm. I had to hold my body in this way, and the pain had already been ignored.

Finally… I took a deep breath, and the pent-up anger that had been building up since the beginning finally exploded. I raised the harpoon high into the air, and at that moment I used the greatest strength of my life, and then with a slight crack, I drove the harpoon into the fish’s head.

At that moment, the fish struggled violently, but as I stirred the harpoon, its entire body began to rapidly lose strength, and its body slowly became rigid… But its teeth were still tightly biting Walma. I let go of the harpoon, not caring so much, and the other hand also grabbed the fish’s big mouth, and then roared, using both hands at the same time, trying to break open the dead fish’s still tight mouth.

“Ah…” I screamed, and I heard the sound of the gills cracking. The blood of the fish, the blood of Volmar, and my blood were all mixed together, and even the violently fluctuating water waves could not clean it up for a while. I shouted, “Huigen, hurry up and pull Volmar up!”

Huigen didn’t dare to delay, and shouted, too. He pulled Volma onto the deck. At that moment, I saw that Volma’s entire thigh had already begun to turn white. If it wasn’t treated in time, I was afraid that the leg would really be ruined.

I hope I was in time. I let go of his hand and wiped my face in the water… I saw that Chengxin had taken Walma from Huigen’s hands. At the same time, I also saw that the body of the large snake that had been struggling violently had already become weak. I didn’t see Tao Bai’s people, but I could see the wildly waving, sometimes raised arms.

Has everything calmed down?

“Brother, give me your hand. I’ll pull you up,” Hui Gen’er offered his hand.

I smiled at Huigen and then held out my hand… But at this moment, the big fish floating next to me suddenly moved. Its eyes flashed a fierce look, and then its whole body suddenly swung violently. The huge body suddenly rose into the air, about a meter above the water, and then fell heavily about ten meters away from the Penglai.

The sudden burst of power also lifted me up without warning. The impact of the waves also lifted my body into the air, and I fell into the water with the big fish, even being pushed further by the waves it created as it fell into the water, and then sank at high speed…

Oh no, this is the first thought that came to my mind as I fell into the water. I saw the stern of the Penglai, and even though I was seven or eight meters away from the stern, not to mention the fact that the Penglai had never stopped moving!

Then, I began to sink at high speed. During the process of sinking, my waving arm even touched the head of a giant catfish, but because the speed of sinking was too fast, I passed it by!

I had fallen into the lair of these fierce fish. I knew my situation very well, but in this crisis, I couldn’t help but wonder what was going on with the fish that had been chopped to pieces by the harpoon. After all, it was completely dead, and its last look had already had its final burst.

I couldn’t think of a reason. After sinking to a certain point, the huge buoyancy in the water quickly pulled me up, and suddenly I was back on the surface!

Even in the most desperate situation, you can’t just sit there and wait to die. As soon as I surfaced, I started flailing my arms, matching the rhythm of my feet and body, and began to swim quickly towards the Penglai.

I saw that the Penglai had slowed down, which was a sign that it was going to stop. I guess everyone had seen me being thrown into the air and had reacted in time.

I heard the sound of splashing water, and I couldn’t forget the giant catfish that passed me by as I sank… Because of the delay caused by the sinking, the Penglai was further away from me, probably more than ten or twenty meters.

This distance was the distance that determined my life or death!

I tried to empty my mind and just swam as hard as I could. After passing the floating corpse of the big fish, I saw red waves rolling in the water, and there were no fewer than a dozen vicious fish tearing at its body!

This is why I wasn’t attacked right away, right? This is also considered luck!

I gritted my teeth and continued to paddle. At this time, the Penglai had stopped in front of me. I saw Huigen and the others standing at the stern of the boat. Huigen was holding a swimming ring with a rope tied to it and shouting at me to hurry up!

But at the same time, I could also feel that the waves behind me were so abnormal. After all, the river was narrow, and the fish carcass was surrounded by so many fierce fish that there was no other place for it to exist. The guy who came later obviously had his eyes on me!

I swam as hard as I could, hoping that every extra meter would give me a chance to survive. When I got to a certain distance, Hui Gen’er threw the swimming ring at me, shouting, “Brother, catch it!”

The swimming ring made a huge parabolic arc and then landed less than a meter away from me. At that moment, I felt that something behind me, I don’t know what it was, was very close to me, but I still didn’t turn around. Instead, I used all my strength and almost dove into the water, then grabbed the swimming ring!

Then, a huge pull came, and almost everyone on the Penglai was pulling me with all their might, much faster than I could swim on my own!

I quickly approached the Penglai, all the way to the stern, and they pulled me up directly without me even having to stretch out my hand!

I had just grabbed the railing when the Penglai suddenly shook violently again. I didn’t fall, but when I looked back for the first time, I saw that it was another strange fish, I don’t know what it was, that was hitting the Penglai.

I was in such danger just now! At that moment, I felt anger rise up in my heart again, and almost subconsciously, I used my roar technique and shouted, “Get lost!”

I had already encountered such a crisis at the beginning, so what else would I have to face next? After I finished yelling, I thought to myself, but I didn’t notice the eyes of the big fish under the boat at all.
