Chapter 98: Taking the bait (2)
Translator: 549690339
However, the moment her hand touched the fish, number seven let out a blood-curdling scream, his voice filled with pain and anger.
The fish was caught by her palm and fell in the direction of song Qing.
Judging from number Seven’s voice, which she couldn’t hold back, it was clear that she had suffered some losses when she touched the fish with her bare hands. She was probably injured.
The fish wagged its tail and charged at song qingxiao with a fishy smell and seawater. After the lesson she had learned from number seven, song qingxiao was not going to fight it with her bare hands. She quickly took out a dagger from behind her waist and stabbed the fish with force.
The moment the dagger touched the fish scale, it made an ear-piercing sound similar to scraping against steel or other hard objects.
When she was fighting with the fish in the water, song Qing knew that the fish was strong, but she only knew how strong it was when they were fighting face to face.
She increased the strength in her hand, and the tip of the dagger cut through the hard fish scales. She used all her strength to shake off the fish head.
After the first attack, song qingxiao blocked the fish’s impact. She picked up the fish’s head with her dagger and threw it to the deck.
The fish was dark brown in color. Its body was as thick as a woman’s wrist and about two meters long. What was scary was that white bone spikes grew out of its body, as if fish spikes had pierced through its flesh. As it fell, it was still wagging its tail in an attempt to struggle. When the people around saw this scene, they quickly dodged.
In the end, the fish landed on the deck with a clang, causing the deck to shake.
In the struggle, the fish shook off the dagger that song qingxiao had stabbed into its flesh. The next moment, everyone was ready to come over and watch. Who knew that the fish would lift its tail, and the upper half of its body would suddenly stand up like a snake.
‘Hiss’, everyone who saw this scene immediately sucked in a breath of cold air, somewhat unable to believe their eyes. After the fish stabilized its body, it actually took the initiative to lean forward and attack the onlookers.
It was still holding the bait in its mouth, and its fierce action caused the surrounding mercenaries to flee in all directions.
Song qingxiao was standing in front of it. It raised its upper body and attacked song qingxiao first. Song qingxiao just wanted to get it on the boat and figure out the situation. Now that the fish had come ashore, she naturally retreated and left the opportunity to clean up the fish to others.
However, after she took a step back, the fish seemed to hold a grudge and stretched its body to attack her. This situation was rare.
This thing was extremely strong, and its body was thick and strong. She noticed that the fishtail was very long, like a steel needle. The needle tail grabbed the deck and firmly held the deck to stabilize the body, supporting the strong upper body.
It only recognized song qingxiao, who had hurt it, but did not care about number seven. Song qingxiao’s eyes darkened. When she realized that dodging was useless, she simply picked up her dagger.
When the fish head attacked her again, she didn’t retreat. Instead, she stabbed the dagger into the fish’s head. The fish that was biting the bait felt its counterattack and opened its mouth with a ‘ha’, spitting out the hook and trying to bite the dagger.
Surprisingly, the fish’s mouth was filled with messy sharp teeth. When it closed its mouth tightly, it was still shining with a cold light when it opened it.
This kind of attack had gone beyond song qingxiao’s understanding of fish. The dagger cut across the fish’s head, making an unbearable sharp sound like an iron sheet scratching a Blackboard. The tip of the dagger left a faint white mark on the fish’s body, but the fish attacked again as if nothing had happened.
The onlookers dodged like headless flies. Song qingxiao had clashed with the fish for the second time. She knew what was going on and was not going to waste any more time.
She gripped the dagger tightly, and when the fish opened its mouth to bite her again, she stabbed the tip of the dagger into the fish’s mouth, which was full of teeth.
Although the fish was vengeful, it was probably not very intelligent. Once it felt that it was biting something, it closed its mouth and bit the dagger tightly.
Song qingxiao did not lose her momentum. She pressed the dagger along with the fish’s head and stabbed it into the deck.
The skin in the fish’s mouth was not as hard as the fish’s scales, and song qingxiao used 60% of her strength. The dagger pierced through the fish’s mouth, and the tip of the blade came out from the corner of the fish’s mouth. The fish cried out in pain, and song qingxiao pressed the dagger to the ground.
This time, she added a little more strength. The dagger cut through the floor of the boat and stabbed the fish in, nailing the fish’s head to the deck.
After suffering such a heavy blow, the fish still had some strength to burst out. Its head was limited, and its tail that was rooted in the deck was actually loosened.
Once it let go of its tail, it would swing it like a long whip. A man on the boat did not hide far enough, and when its tail whipped, it brushed past the man’s arm around his chest. The man screamed in pain, and several blood marks appeared on his arm. His body was also knocked back two or three steps by the force of the whip. Finally, he could not stand still and sat on the deck with a ‘clang’.
The people who saw this scene had a slight change in expression, especially a few trial-takers, who frowned.
Number seven raised her hand and gasped. Her palm was still shaking. She subconsciously looked at number six, the man in a suit, and the scholar beside her. They could not hide the shock in their eyes.
Even if others didn’t know how strong this fish was at first, No. 7 knew it very well after fighting it once.
She started to be a little arrogant and tried to wave away the fish that were rushing towards her. She wanted to direct the trouble to song qingxiao and test her strength.
This woman wasn’t very sociable, and she was also impervious to oil and salt. Number seven always felt that she was dangerous, but he knew nothing about her, so he couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
In the end, she underestimated the fish’s strength and overestimated herself, so her palm was stabbed by some thorns on the fish’s body. In the end, the fish flew in song qingxiao’s direction as it wished, but it also left several deep wounds on her palm..
