The fisherman was dragged onto the boat by Zhang Mingtu, who slapped him on the back twice in succession, gently trying to shake the water he had inhaled into his lungs directly out of his mouth.
"Cough cough cough~"
The man kept coughing and had not yet woken up from his coma, but his breathing was smooth.
Zhang Mingtu checked the man's pulse and heartbeat, and seeing that he was no longer in danger of death, he turned over and jumped into the water again.
The catfish monster he killed cannot be wasted. Judging from the blood and condition of the catfish, it is no less than that of an ordinary person who has undergone marrow cleansing and blood transfusion.
In the water, even those who have cleansed their marrow and exchanged their blood in the lower three levels may not be able to defeat the catfish monster.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that Zhang Mingtu killed the catfish monster easily. In fact, every punch and kick he made was the result of decades of practice.
He scratched the catfish monster's tail with one claw and dispersed all the strength in its body with one punch. All the blood in its body was forced out by the pressure of the strength.
Another punch smashed the catfish monster's brain into pieces.
If the catfish monster turned around and ran away because of pain, Zhang Mingtu would be helpless.
Fighting against the catfish monster in the environment it is most familiar with, the inconvenience of humans moving in water alone is enough to make it difficult for most martial arts masters to continue.
Not to mention that the catfish monster has a special ability to control water.
Not to mention the people who have undergone marrow cleansing and blood transfusion at the lower three levels, even the people who have undergone marrow cleansing and blood transfusion at the middle three levels who have entered the top ranks of the martial arts world may not be able to do it so easily.
Zhang Mingtu has never been good at fighting with others. He has never had a serious fight with anyone since he started practicing martial arts.
But when he dived into the water to fight the catfish monster, it seemed as if he had been tempered a thousand times, and each move was perfect.
Zhang Mingtu's instinct would be absolutely astonishing to outsiders, but Zhang Mingtu took it lightly. It was a skill honed by his tragic futures.
It was his repeated failures that led to his glory and achievements.
But all this cannot be told to outsiders.
Zhang Mingtu had a broader vision in his mind. He also regretted that his strength and fighting skills had not reached the grandmaster level, which was why he was easily killed by the grandmaster.
Diving into the water again, I saw countless fish running wildly in the turbulent river.
They frantically devoured the blood of the catfish monster that Zhang Mingtu had punched out.
For these fish, if they swallow enough blood, they may become monsters.
Even Zhang Mingtu saw two carp and grass carp in front of him. Because they had swallowed more blood, their bodies had expanded a lot compared to before.
Obviously, they have accumulated a lot of knowledge. Now they have encountered an opportunity. If they can live a few more years, they are likely to become psychic.
Then Zhang Mingtu knocked out the two carps weighing more than ten kilograms with his backhand, and punched the grass carp on the head.
The grass carp turned over on the spot, and Zhang Mingtu continued to dive.
It turned out that the body of the catfish monster, which was more than ten feet long, was missing at the bottom of the water.
He looked left and right but couldn't find any trace of her.
"Could it be that it was eaten by other fish in the water?"
Zhang Mingtu frowned. It was not impossible, but it seemed unrealistic to eat the catfish monster that was more than ten feet long cleanly in such a short time.
Not to mention that the catfish demon's body is harder than that of an average marrow cleansing and blood transfusion recipient.
A group of fish that have not been transformed into demons simply do not have the ability to tear the catfish demon into pieces, let alone eat it.
Moreover, although the catfish monster is dead, the fact that it can become a monster itself brings with it a powerful oppression, just like the king of the forest, the tiger, whose power remains even after death.
In the mountains and forests, other animals dared not approach a dead tiger.
After being transformed into a demon, the catfish is even more terrifying than an ordinary tiger.
"Was it carried away by the undercurrent in the water?"
Zhang Mingtu pondered carefully along the riverbed, and even used his true energy to concentrate it in his eyes, allowing him to see the scene more than ten meters away at the bottom of the river.
However, after searching back and forth twice without finding anything, Zhang Mingtu had to temporarily stop searching.
With one hand, he dragged the big net cast by the fisherman, knocked out all the fish that had swallowed the blood of the catfish monster in the area, then wrapped them up with the fishing net and dragged them directly onto the boat.
The short and strong fisherman on the boat was struggling to wake up at this time.
Seeing Zhang Mingtu emerge from the water, he was startled and was about to stab him with the harpoon in one hand, but fortunately he quickly retracted it after seeing that it was a human.
"Hurry up and come up, brother. There's a huge fish under the water, over ten feet long, and it wants to eat people."
Zhang Mingtu climbed onto the boat with a smile.
He was holding a huge fishing net in one hand, and when the net was dragged upwards, the entire boat sank.
Inside the fishing net, there are carps weighing more than ten kilograms, grass carps weighing seven or eight kilograms, catfish and crucian carp whose mouths are wide enough to swallow an adult's fist.
The fisherman had been fishing for many years and had never seen such an amazing scene. He was stunned for a moment.
“This, this…”
Surprised, he couldn't even speak clearly, but instinctively took two steps forward to help Zhang Mingtu grab a corner of the fishing net, and exclaimed in admiration: "Little brother, you are amazing! This net, in my twenty years of fishing, I have never seen such an amazing one..."
"This is not my net, it's your net."
Zhang Mingtu chuckled softly, then turned around and said with some regret: "It's a pity that the giant catfish that was almost a spirit escaped. It's over ten feet long. This is the first time I've seen a catfish in all these years..."
The fisherman was surprised.
"What? You chased that fish away, and you haven't even thanked me yet!"
The man leaned forward and was about to kneel down, still holding the fishing net tightly in his hand and refusing to let go.
Zhang Mingtu raised his hand and held the man down, so that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't kneel down.
"It's just a small favor, no need to be so surprised."
The man refused, but when he saw the heavy fishing net, he temporarily put aside the formalities.
"Don't say anything more, let's work together to catch this net of fish. Come to my house for dinner later. This net of fish is incredible."
But it is not possible to just scoop up the fish with the net, as the fish is too heavy for the small wooden boat to bear. If you try to push it up directly, the boat will capsize or even sink.
The fisherman originally wanted to hold the net himself and let Zhang Mingtu row the boat.
But after trying twice, he found that he could not catch the fish in the big net at all. Although the big fish did not struggle much, the small fish kept jumping, and he could not catch them no matter how hard he tried.
I could only go rowing with a face full of shame.
Just as he slid to the shore, he said to the woman who was picking up shells and snails on the shore, "Xiu Lan, come over and give me a hand, come over and give me a hand."
Zhang Mingtu never thought that this woman and this fisherman were husband and wife.
The woman Tiansheng came over quickly and was shocked when she saw the festering wound on the man's face.
But seeing that the man was in high spirits and didn't seem to be in big trouble, he suppressed his uneasiness. Looking at the tumbling fish, he hurried over and helped pull the fishing net.
