Chapter 94: A fierce underwater battle

Actually, catfish are a very common sight. I even caught them a lot when I was a kid, because my master loved garlic-flavored catfish. But when an ordinary sight becomes abnormally huge, it puts a lot of psychological pressure on whoever sees it.

It’s like a beautiful butterfly that has become a giant. No matter how beautiful it is, your first reaction is still fear.

Under the light of the flashlight, this group of huge catfish were all a bit lazy, clinging to the rocky walls of the pond or sinking to the bottom of the pond and not moving. After looking at them for a long time, there was actually nothing interesting to see, let alone any reference value.

However, Johnny made a move that shocked me. He waved to the others to come up, and after half a minute of silence, he actually went down a little deeper and swam towards the huge catfish.

I was also going to surface, but when I turned around and saw Johnny’s actions, I was scared. Why was he going to get close to those guys? Don’t underestimate fish. They have a lot more power in the water than humans. And I didn’t know anything about the habits of these giant catfish. If I angered them, I had no doubt that their huge reminders could swallow a person!

The tragedy in this town had actually been answered the moment we saw this group of catfish. It must have been this group of catfish that did it, although I don’t know why these catfish would attack to the point of becoming addicted to eating people! I’ve never heard of this before…

Thinking this, I stopped swimming up and swam towards Johnny in a hurry, but when I finally managed to grab his arm, he was already unusually close to a giant catfish, less than half a meter away.

This was the biggest catfish under the water, at least 3 meters long, and Johnny was like a real dwarf in front of it! I even suspected that the so-called world record was too superficial, and that they had not recorded a 3-meter-long catfish… and I had seen it with my own eyes.

At this point, Johnny reached out. I don’t know if he wanted to touch the catfish, but before that, I finally grabbed Johnny’s arm and stopped him.

I waved my hands frantically and pointed upwards, signaling for Johnny to come up with me.

But through the diving mask, I saw that Johnny’s eyes were unusually determined. He gestured to tell me that he had to get close to the group of catfish, and that this matter was extremely critical!

What the hell is critical! I wanted to scream at him, but I was in the water, so I could only glare at him. Even if you are a master of martial arts, is it useful against a group of catfish? Can you perform it in the water? I can’t just watch you put yourself in danger. To some extent, you are also my elder, because you are a good friend of my master. From the fact that my master is willing to take a picture with you, you can see that.

But I couldn’t say this to Johnny, and I found that Johnny’s strength in the water was also astonishing. He suddenly exerted his strength and broke free of me, and his hand finally touched the giant catfish.

At that moment, my breath almost stopped. These catfish are not the kind that are lazy and don’t move after eating. These guys are extremely aggressive and have eaten people!

My whole body was tense, my mind was racing, and I had only one thought: how was I going to save Johnny!

To my surprise, the catfish didn’t react to Johnny’s caress or approach. It just lay lazily against a rock, as if it were glued to it, completely motionless.

But Johnny was carefully observing the catfish, even touching its small eyes. I didn’t understand what Johnny was doing, but I followed him closely, ready to help him at the first sign of trouble.

At this time, because the two of us had intruded into the catfish’s world for too long, two or three of the catfish under the water had already reacted and started to swim impatiently. The movements were not large, but the huge bodies stirred up the water at the bottom of the pool, making it muddy… My heart started to beat wildly again, and my whole body was tense again. They were much more terrifying when they moved than when they were still.

But Johnny still had no intention of surfacing, and once again swam towards another catfish, which was also not small, and began to observe it again, while I followed behind him nervously like a little child! This kind of reaction is normal when facing something you have never seen before.

Due to the catfish’s movements, the water at the bottom of the pool was becoming more and more murky. Even with a powerful flashlight, we could not see very well. The best news was that the catfish only swam around for a while and then calmed down, showing no sign of attacking.

Jonny had finished observing the second catfish. At this point, the long deep dive and the oxygen supply were no longer enough to keep us underwater for too long. I couldn’t help but pull Jonny again, signaling him to go up.

This time, Johnny didn’t insist. He gestured and even told me with his mouth what he wanted to do: observe one more catfish, mark the one he had already observed, then go up, and then come down again…

I really wanted to ask him why he was doing this, but obviously it wasn’t the right place to have a conversation underwater, so I just nodded in agreement…

But at this moment, I noticed that Johnny’s face suddenly changed, and I could also feel the water behind me, very strong!

I didn’t really care about it, because the water had the same kind of ripples when the catfish were swimming, but they didn’t attack us. But this time, Johnny’s face made my heart beat so fast that it was at its limit…

I am basically a very ‘cheap’ person. Looking at Johnny’s face, I knew that something unusual might have happened behind me, and a normal person would avoid looking back. But at this critical moment, I couldn’t help but look back!

Then I saw a huge catfish head, with an exaggeratedly wide open mouth, two rows of fearsome fangs, and a pair of unusual bloodshot eyes, less than two meters away from me!

Its head was already as big as my body! I was frozen and cold. I had never encountered such a situation before and didn’t know what to do. But I couldn’t control my unreliable heart. At this critical moment, I still thought about the boring thing of how big the catfish’s head was…

Then, I was suddenly pulled aside by a huge force. It was Johnny who pulled me away at the critical moment.

When I realized what was happening and turned to save Johnny, I saw that the catfish was already approaching Johnny, and its big mouth was about to bite him without hesitation…

No! I shouted in the water, my mouthpiece fell out, and the murky water filled my mouth. But apart from that, I couldn’t do anything! At that moment, I clearly saw that the large grayish-brown catfish had a few faint, slightly dull purple lines on its head, which were not obvious at all if you didn’t look closely.

Could it be… My heart was pounding, but at this moment I should be more concerned about Johnny’s situation. I found that this hot-tempered old man was much more flexible than I thought, and his body twisted into an incredible angle, narrowly avoiding the catfish’s bite and slipping under the belly of the fish.

A yoga master? I was relieved, but I also suddenly felt a surge of admiration for yoga. In fact, my master had once praised this exotic physical technique, saying that it was very magical. Not only does it have a magical effect on the human body, but it also allows people to quickly enter a state of meditation. It has many other magical effects and is truly worthy of praise and study!

Now I have witnessed its magic, and I never thought it could have such an effect!

Although Johnny avoided the sudden attack, the danger was not over. The catfish, probably angered by his sudden attack, was not going to let us go. It twisted its body and a huge tail began to swing towards me!

I didn’t doubt that I would faint if I were hit, so I kept an eye on the catfish’s movements and deftly avoided it. Although it wasn’t as magical as yoga, it was still pretty agile. At this time, Johnny pulled out a dagger from somewhere and stabbed it into the catfish’s huge body. Using this as a foothold, he tightly embraced the huge catfish.

The catfish, in pain, suddenly began to struggle violently, and the force of the huge waves it stirred up made me feel dizzy! So, thinking of Johnny holding the catfish, I thought his situation was even worse.

At this point, the catfish could not attack Johnny, who was under the fish, and could only head straight for me. I floated upwards while avoiding the crazy catfish, and just as we narrowly missed each other, Johnny, who was under the fish, suddenly twisted his body again and used his yoga skills to grab me in a situation where there was no way he could catch me.

Then his face was right in front of mine. He spat out his mouthpiece and told me two words with his mouth firmly: “Roar!”

The Taoist roar, can it be effective against this crazy catfish? I was confused… But there was no time to hesitate under these circumstances. This catfish was so strong and its movements were not slow. Johnny and I could not hold out for long!

Moreover, we didn’t know if the blood from the catfish’s punctured body would attract other fish, and if that were the case, Johnny and I would definitely be killed!

So when Johnny let go of me, I simply stopped dodging. I took advantage of the moment when the catfish turned around to quickly channel my own power, and then when the catfish rushed towards me, I yelled, “Get out of the way!”

Water rushed into my mouth, and the muffled sound underwater was not at all imposing, but it did not affect the effectiveness of the roar itself, which was not a sound. The energy of the roar mixed with spiritual power, creating a huge wave in the water, like a shock wave, which slammed into the huge catfish…
