Chapter 64: Smart Fish
"A large number of mutant fish are coming. Everyone, get ready. Those who are not capable of fighting, stay indoors and close the doors and windows. Hurry."
Mutated fish?
Everyone thought they were hallucinating.
Before they could think too much, Gong Zhao had already stood on the platform and started giving orders.
"Earth power users, build a wall immediately. Those who can attack from a distance, attack immediately, quickly." A meticulous deployment was no longer possible; the enemy was already at the gate. "Those who can't attack from a distance, follow me, grab your weapons, and charge."
The earth wall does not need to be too high. Fish have just evolved into amphibians and cannot climb or jump. They can only walk on flat ground. At most, they can be chopped down. A wall about half a person's height is enough. Build a low wall layer by layer to make it easier to kill them.
Those who attacked from a distance stood behind the low wall, aiming and attacking, while the others rushed directly into the school of fish.
Lan Shiruo instructed He Lian, "Pay attention to the maverick in the school of fish. It's very likely the leader. We must capture the leader first. Killing it will make things easier for us."
"Don't worry, I understand."
Except for He Lian, everyone else in the small team chose close combat and rushed into the school of fish together.
Gong Zhao, in his busy schedule, took a look. The women didn't look like they had just woken up; they were clearly well prepared. He narrowed his eyes and focused on the enemy.
The fish school does not have strong attack power, but due to its large number and thick scales, it rushes around recklessly. Once knocked over, it is difficult for it to get up again.
There is also a kind of catfish with long tentacles that are extremely tough. They will wrap around people's ankles and then pull hard, making it impossible to defend against.
Evolved fish can also bite people. Their evolved serrations are sharp and their mouths are wide enough to bite off a person's head.
The melee was fierce. When Lan Shiruo's machete hit the fish scales, sparks could be seen flashing by, and several gaps appeared on the blade.
Fortunately, she was well prepared and carried several on her back. When she first came to the villa area, she took a clear route and was not afraid of being targeted.
After chopping until my arms were numb, I finally found their weak spot. "The belly of the fish is the weak spot. Kick it over first, then chop."
When the people around heard it, their eyes lit up and they subconsciously kicked out. It really worked.
The newly evolved fish has poor balance and will flip over if kicked. Then just cut the fish in the belly and it will be easily solved.
In an instant, the situation was reversed and the fish suffered heavy losses.
They also discovered it themselves and quickly changed their strategy, moving forward in a line.
Everyone was shocked. What was going on?
If you don't check carefully, someone will be knocked over, crushed, and then bitten into countless pieces by those who come later. Everything happens in just a few seconds.
You can't just kick it over and then gut it. These creatures learn a trick in the blink of an eye, and as soon as you stretch out your foot, it's like a dragon's tail swinging.
The fish lined up in a queue and rushed around, knocking down several low walls.
The people with earth-type abilities were of low level and few in number. The low walls collapsed one after another. They could not keep up with the speed, and even less with the quality. They were all sweating profusely in anxiety.
Gong Zhao shouted, "Use the gold element to help. Use the wind element to build a wind wall and push it back."
A golden wall can be built, but a wind wall has little effect. For a big fish weighing over a hundred pounds, a wind wall is just a breeze and leaves no trace at all.
Gong Zhao gritted his teeth, "Everyone, move aside. Water abilities, release water. Lightning abilities, release lightning."
After a burst of "hissing" sounds, those who didn't have time to run were electrocuted and saw stars, but the fish didn't seem to be affected much. Because there was water, they swam happily.
Gong Zhao was so angry that he was gasping for breath. He had dug a hole for himself.
Lan Shiruo called out to her friends, "Pull the net."
The friends understood, and each of them took a corner, pulled open the fishing net, and covered their heads with it.
Although the teeth, scales and spines of the mutated fish have become much sharper, the scales are numerous and the webs are dense, making it difficult to get rid of them once they become entangled.
The well-arranged team was messed up by this one net.
Gong Zhao saw that there was a chance, "Go find the net quickly, and the power users will cast the net."
Fishing nets are not a necessity and not many people collect them, but sometimes they are used for other purposes. After picking up some and putting them together, most of the leading fish are caught in the net and become entangled and unable to move.
The powerful person dragged the net backwards, forming a high pile of fish, which made it impossible for those behind to get through.
What followed was a one-sided killing.
In the school of fish, a pair of fish eyes were dead and moving rapidly. The school of fish mysteriously stopped moving forward and quickly scattered, trying to pass through the woods on both sides of the road.
There were a lot of random things piled up in the woods to keep out intruders. The villa complex was on a hillside, surrounded on three sides by a canal and steep cliffs. There was only one path through it, and if it was well guarded, they could sleep peacefully.
But in Lan Shiruo's opinion, such a geographical location also blocked her retreat.
Doesn't Gong Zhao understand? How could that be? He understands, and so do others. But the world is like this now, and understanding is all you can do. If you want to live long, you must work hard to guard the door.
This is also the reason why Lan Shiruo chose to move in after she understood it. There are pros and cons, and nothing is perfect.
The school of fish jumped into the nearby bushes, which tripped their feet but also tripped humans' feet, so no one would be in trouble.
Moreover, the fish are now rushing forward without any regard for the consequences.
People are different. They have a lot of concerns. Because they are afraid of death, they are afraid of many other things as well, and they seem timid.
Gong Zhao was furious and could only use threats and bribes to force people to kill the fish quickly and eat the fish with the same enthusiasm as before. What was there to be afraid of?
Everyone was silent. Who could still have an appetite after seeing all these fish? They expressed their admiration.
Lan Shiruo aimed at the school of fish and suddenly jumped out. In the eyes of everyone, she admired her bravery and looked down upon her for her ignorance of the consequences, and fell into the school of fish.
Standing alone among the school of fish, it stands out.
The friends looked at each other and rushed over.
"Zhang Yun, freeze it." Lan Shiruo stopped the big guy who was trying to escape among the school of fish.
Zhang Yun quickly threw out the ice, but it was shattered in less than half a second.
Lan Shiruo frowned, "Miaomiao Shuiyao, trap it."
The long whip and iron ball were wrapped around it, and Lan Shiruo called Han Qingquan, "Try to hit the fish's belly."
The big guy seemed to feel threatened and struggled desperately, letting out a piercing scream. He Lian, who had good hearing, was the first to be hit. There was a roaring in his ears and he almost fainted. The others were also uncomfortable and covered their ears tightly, not daring to let go.
The school of fish suddenly went crazy and rushed towards the small team, obviously coming to rescue them.
Lan Shiruo's eyebrows twitched. She couldn't bear to be surrounded. "Miaomiao Qingquan controls the lower body, Yunshui Yao Zhangyun the upper body." She pulled a chain from her bag, wrapped it around the big guy's upper jaw, and pulled it back, forcing him to open his mouth. "He Lian, hurry."
He Lian was dizzy from the noise. After hearing Lan Shiruo's shout, he forced himself to calm down, raised his crossbow, and used his ears to identify the direction. "Pah."
An arrow shot out, and everyone seemed to see it in slow motion, especially the person who created the slow motion with his eyes closed. Everyone was worried about Lan Shiruo, because being stabbed by an arrow might kill her.
