Once the giant catfish reached the shore, the barrier in the water naturally disappeared. However, Ye Dongfeng and his companion couldn't find anyone in the water, not even a small monster. They only saw a group of fish that had been electrocuted and were floating belly-up. So, the group pressed down on the giant catfish and began interrogating it.
