What Chu Yao didn't know was that Tongtian Lake, as a military restricted area and teeming with various spiritual creatures, had actually always been a source of high-end food ingredients.

Of course, these high-end ingredients rarely flow into the homes of ordinary people.

Often, when senior leaders visit the three cities, they will come to try the food.

We walked along the road and soon arrived at the observation tower of Tongtian Lake.

This watchtower is built on a large island in the middle of a lake. It looks like an independent castle. There are ports built around it, and there are even warships.

Although the tonnage is not large, it is extremely rare in a place like the Northern Frontier Prefecture, far away from the ocean.

Led by the soldiers, Chu Yao and Lu Hongzhuang went all the way to the meeting room.

There are already dozens of people sitting in the huge conference room.

On the big screen on the rostrum, there was a full view of the real-life map of Tongtian Lake. Various signals were flashing, and circular and triangular icons were densely marked on the map.

There are three people on the podium.

One of them was Fang Siping, and the other two were wearing military uniforms. I didn’t recognize them, but I thought they must be the commanders of the troops stationed at Tongtian Lake.

You don’t have to guess, they must be big shots at the sixth level.

As for the people below, Chu Yao looked around and only saw Lin Guodong sitting silently in the corner. He immediately took Lu Hongzhuang's hand and walked towards him.

"Chu Yao, you're here?"

"Come on, come up to the stage and tell everyone how you knew the Night Demons were in Tongtian Lake."

Fang Siping caught Chu Yao at a glance and immediately spoke, asking him to go on stage.

Chu Yao's thoughts moved slightly.

Being low-key or high-key is not the main point.

The key point is that Fang Siping's action made Chu Yao realize that the Tongtian Lake Military District had not yet realized that the Night Demon Clan had arrived.

They are still trying to determine the authenticity of the intelligence they brought back.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Yao went straight to the stage.

After thinking about it, he decided to tell him everything about Hua Niang, what happened when he met Gu Dajin on the road, and some of the conversation between them.

There's nothing to hide.

Chu Yao has always followed the kingly path.

Chu Yao was not afraid of others knowing about Gu Dajin's so-called cooperation.

Of course, Chu Yao did not talk about Gu Dajin's topics about the tacit understanding between the God of War and the Demon Saint, and the tacit understanding between the strong men above the sixth level of martial arts.

Since the bosses all know about this, there is no need for me to say it out loud.

Not only does it not bring any benefit, it actually has the opposite effect.

After explaining the origin, Chu Yao immediately told something that Lu Hongzhuang didn't know.

Lu Hongzhuang knew that the Night Demon Clan was in Tongtian Lake, but she didn't know what happened to the demon fish later.

"We should have a water quality monitoring department here. I heard that the Night Demon Clan is planning to release a large number of demon fish into Tongtian Lake. And, based on previous intelligence, they may have already done so."

Devil fish?

One stone can cause a thousand ripples.

When these three words were heard, there was a sudden commotion in the field. This news made people feel even more chilled than hearing about the Night Demon Clan.

The Night Demons are fine, it’s just a matter of deaths.

Whether it is to blow up the power station, it is ultimately a matter of defense.

And the devil fish...

"Xiao Wang, hurry up and collect samples right now. Get your entire hunting team out and search the entire grid for the Devil Fish."

A big shot on the stage glared and spoke quickly.

A young man in military uniform in the audience suddenly ran out in a hurry, with sweat on his forehead.

Because Tongtian Lake has a very large area, it is divided into tens of thousands of grid-shaped areas for the convenience of management, and sampling inspections are carried out regularly.

It is not that difficult to investigate now, but it will require more manpower.

They have already taken action.

The entire conference room was completely silent.

Someone originally wanted to ask Chu Yao about the ancient Dajin, but at this moment, he was not in the mood.

If a devil fish is really found, then...

No one can afford the consequences.

Fang Siping also frowned at this moment. He looked at Chu Yao, thought for a while, waved his hand, and let him go.

Chu Yao turned around and walked off the stage without saying a word, returning to his seat.

No one had the desire to communicate anymore, and everyone was waiting patiently.

It didn't take long.

Less than twenty minutes.

The door of the conference room was pushed open, and several soldiers wearing wet clothes walked in, each holding a black fish in their hands.

Varying sizes.

The big ones weigh about three pounds, with scales already growing patterns, a high tail fin on their backs, and a very ferocious appearance.

The small ones are only the size of chopsticks and are still considered fish fry.

"Boss, this is what we just caught in grid 341. It's a school of fish we've never seen before. We estimate there are around 10,000 of them, and they haven't fully grown yet."

"The big ones are the largest fish currently in the school, and the small ones are the common sizes."

"We haven't seen a devil fish either, so we're not sure if it's this one."

The soldier who reported was quite capable and reported everything clearly.

Hearing this, Fang Siping immediately walked off the stage, picked up a fish and poked it with a finger.

The hard fish scales were instantly shattered, and green blood oozed out, emitting a fishy stench.

The fish also began to struggle violently, and all the scales on its body shot out like flying knives.

Its own green juice continued to flow out, and then it suddenly exploded like a bomb.

This scene is extremely disgusting.

But it also shows the ferocity of this fish.

Fang Siping's expression and eyes were extremely solemn. He controlled the explosion within the range of his spiritual power and clapped his hands casually, turning the disgusting substance into ashes.

"Yes, it's the devil fish."

"This is just a juvenile devil fish. Once it grows up, its body will naturally secrete venom, which will be absorbed into the water and pollute the entire aquatic source."

"It will eat all the creatures in the lake clean. This kind of fish has always been called a scavenger."

Fang Siping is an agricultural expert and is very knowledgeable about these things.

Everyone knows.

What he said was naturally authoritative and completely conclusive.

"Lao Fang, you're an expert in this area. Tell me what we should do now. We have tens of thousands of people in our entire regiment and we all obey your orders. Even if you ask me to jump into the lake to catch fish, I will take off my clothes and jump in without saying a word."

"This thing must be exterminated as soon as possible."

One of the big guys on the stage said in a deep and passionate voice.

But Fang Siping let out a long sigh.

"I wish there was a way, but for now, there's really nothing I can do."

"You can't completely remove it with physical means. This fish will lay its eggs among the eggs of other fish. It's extremely cunning. The entire lake is probably already teeming with fry."

"Its swimming depth can reach 5,000 meters. Who can go down there?"

Fang Siping's tone was also helpless, and he frowned in thought.
