Chapter 178 The Big Fish Takes the Bait!
"Don't rush, the most important thing in fishing is patience!"
Li Qing looked calmly at the lake, his expression unwavering.
"But we really want to catch the fish demon and avenge Sister Gen's husband!"
The woman named Sister Gen, whom the village chief mentioned, was the one whose husband had been eaten by the fish demon. At this moment, Sister Gen was also watching the situation from a short distance away.
"Look, I'm in a hurry!"
"Stay calm, we'll catch the fish demon! And we'll get our revenge!"
While observing the situation on the lake surface, Li Qing's divine sense also extended into the lake, searching for the fish demon Sha Wujing's whereabouts.
Suddenly, his divine sense detected a huge movement in the lake a thousand meters away. A massive figure slowly rose from the bottom of the lake and swam toward Shuita Village.
And here comes the fish demon!
"coming!"
As Li Qing shouted this, he also pointed his left hand towards the distant lake.
Upon hearing the sound, the village chief and several villagers hurriedly looked in the direction Li Qing was pointing.
As everyone's gaze fell, a huge splash of water suddenly erupted from the lake not far away.
After the water splashed down, a row of long, sharp spikes appeared on the lake surface, connected by a gray membrane. From a distance, it looked like a giant fish fin!
Beneath the fin, in the water, a huge black shadow was moving at an extremely fast speed.
Wherever the dark figure passed, ripples surged across the lake, as if it were stirring up the entire surface of the lake.
As the fish demon swam towards Shuita Village, the village chief and several villagers were both excited and afraid, their emotions incredibly complex.
The hand holding the fishing rod trembled slightly, and the originally calm water surface immediately rippled.
The fake Taoist priest, who was bound like a rice dumpling, also noticed the arrival of the fish demon. He had originally hoped to play dead and not be discovered by the fish demon, but he was immediately terrified when he saw Li Qing's actions.
He struggled to spit out the burlap smothering his mouth and immediately began cursing at Li Qing.
"You surnamed Li! You're not human! How could you be so cruel! Feeding a human to a fish demon!"
"You'll die a horrible death! You..."
The fake Taoist priest was about to continue cursing when he was interrupted by a noise coming from behind him.
Feeling the gusts of foul wind coming from behind, the fake Taoist priest's hair stood on end. A chill ran down his spine, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His face turned deathly pale, his lips trembled, and a dry sound came from his throat, as if he had been terrified.
He slowly turned his head, his eyes wide open, staring in disbelief at the scene before him.
A huge fish head was staring intently at him, its face covered in tiger stripes, making it look like a giant tiger's face.
Its eyes, as large as lanterns, gleamed with a cold and cruel light. Its mouth was wide open, filled with tiny, sharp teeth that gleamed with a chilling light, as if they could easily tear anything apart. Long, sharp spines grew on both sides of its head, while four shriveled, short limbs sprouted from its belly, making it look exceptionally bizarre and terrifying.
The fake Taoist priest's heart raced. He had never seen such a terrifying monster before. He usually swindled people everywhere, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a terrifying fish demon. His heart was filled with fear and despair.
A strange roar came from the fish demon's mouth, and then the fish demon suddenly moved, opening its blood-red maw to bite at the fake Taoist priest.
Li Qing reacted quickly, jerking the fishing rod upwards the instant the fish demon bit the fake Taoist, thus getting the fake Taoist out of the fish demon's attack range.
Having missed its target, the fish demon submerged into the water, its massive body hidden beneath, waiting for another opportunity to strike.
Looking at the fake Taoist priest who was being held in mid-air by Li Qing, he was now soaking wet, pale-faced, and looked extremely disheveled, a far cry from his previous arrogant demeanor.
Strands of yellow liquid slid down the tips of the fake Taoist's shoes; the color clearly indicated it wasn't lake water.
This fake Taoist priest was so scared of the fish demon that he wet himself!
The murky yellow liquid flowed down his trouser leg, and the urine dripped into the lake, splashing up water and breaking the calm of the lake.
The fake Taoist priest trembled slightly, his eyes filled with fear and despair.
However, he brought all of this upon himself. If he hadn't harbored ill intentions and tried to deceive others, how could he have ended up like this?
Seeing the fake Taoist priest's ugly behavior, the surrounding villagers all cast disdainful glances at him.
They understood that this fake Taoist priest was nothing but a depraved fraudster who didn't deserve anyone's pity.
.......
The stench of urine spread rapidly through the lake water below.
The fish demon, with its sensitive sense of smell, was instantly enraged by the foul odor. How dare they tease it and even urinate on its head!
This is utterly outrageous!
The fish demon slightly raised its enormous fish head, its eyes fixed intently on the blurry human figure above through the lake water.
Once it aimed at its target, its massive body dipped slightly, and then it suddenly exerted all its strength!
In an instant, accompanied by a violent splash, the enormous fish demon leaped out of the water like a cannonball at an astonishing speed, heading straight for the fake Taoist priest in mid-air.
At the same time, the fish demon opened its ferocious and terrifying maw, filled with sharp teeth, and bit down hard on the unsuspecting fake Taoist priest, as if it wanted to swallow him whole!
This time, however, Li Qing did not move the huge fishing rod in his hand.
It's time to end this false Taoist's sinful life!
On the shore, Chen Xuanzang watched the fish demon leap towards the fake Taoist priest, and unable to bear watching any longer, he slowly lowered his head.
next moment!
A loud scream rang in his ears.
The fake Taoist priest was bitten by the fish demon, and let out a desperate and painful scream.
Seemingly because the fake Taoist priest urinated in the lake, the fish demon's gaping maw only bit into the fake Taoist priest's abdomen.
The sharp teeth instantly severed the fake Taoist priest's body in half.
The fish demon, which fell back into the lake, did not swallow the half-body in its mouth, but instead spat it out.
Even demons would find this body repulsive for its stench of urine!
In the lake, the fish demon looked at the remaining upper half of the body, exerted its strength again, and leaped into the air, preparing to swallow the remaining half of the body whole.
Just as the fish demon opened its blood-red maw, its sharp fangs about to bite into the severed body, a sudden change occurred without warning!
The ropes that had been tightly binding the fake Taoist priest suddenly seemed to come alive and automatically loosened their grip on his body.
Then, the rope seemed to transform into a nimble venomous snake, sweeping towards the fish demon in mid-air with lightning speed!
At this moment, the fish demon, which was in mid-air, had no time to dodge and was bound tightly by the "spirit snake"-like rope in the blink of an eye.
The ropes were tightly wrapped around the fish demon's body, rendering it unable to move an inch. The fish demon struggled desperately, but to no avail. The ropes tightened more and more, digging deep into its flesh.
