God of Fishing

Chapter 679 - Despised?



Chapter 679: Despised?

Liang Tian had asked Meng Guiyi to lead the team. They were all gathered at the Sea God Square in the center of the Scattered Stars Island like before.

In the sky, Han Fei asked curiously, “Are the requirements to enter the central city very harsh?”

Meng Guiyi said with a smile, “Of course. You can’t go to the city until you get six stars. Also, the Blood Guards with hundred kills can go there too. You can’t go there yet because you’ve been promoted unconventionally.”

Han Fei snorted and thought to himself, It’s only because I’m not allowed to go to the sea, or I could’ve secured a thousand kills easily.

Three people had arrived at the square earlier than Han Fei’s team did, and there were still ten people who hadn’t arrived yet.

After they landed, someone looked at Han Fei, who was in disguise, and asked, “Huh? Aren’t you Duan Jiang from the Guild of Fishers?”

Han Fei was lost for words. He had been recognized already? Was this Duan Jiang so famous?

Han Fei nodded. “That’s me.”

Then, the guy instantly frowned. “Are we so short of spirit gatherers right now?”

Han Fei glimpsed at him. “What do you mean?”

The guy sneered. “Although you are a minor celebrity, I don’t think you can provide spiritual energy for a dozen people, can you?”

Han Fei found that his identity wasn’t as renowned as he thought, or he wouldn’t have been mocked the moment he arrived.

Meng Guiyi said telepathically, Hold back. This guy is Xu Mo from the Legion of Guardians. He’s a rigorous commander. You’re not on his team. There’s no need to be angry with him.

Hearing that he wasn’t in the guy’s team, Han Fei snorted. “Don’t approach me when you run out of spiritual energy.”

Xu Mo snorted. “A mission is a mission. If you prove unworthy in battle, me and my team won’t protect you.”

Han Fei chuckled. “Be my guest. It’s not like I need your protection.”

Han Fei would rather not be humiliated without fighting back even though Meng Guiyi had just reminded him. He might seem inconsiderate, but so was Xu Mo, who laughed at someone else the moment he opened his mouth.

A moment later, more people flew close one after another.

When sixteen people were present, a bright and brave-looking girl landed from the sky and said immediately afterward, “I am Su Hongye. Are my teammates Gong Yuehan, Duan Jiang, Chenchen and Wang Qing here?”

A man who was carrying a weapon box said, “I am Chen Chen.”

A skinny man walked closer. “I’m Wang Qing, a hunter.”

Gong Yuehan said coldly, “Gong Yuehan is here.”

Han Fei waved his hand. “Duan Jiang, here.”

Su Hongye looked at Han Fei and frowned. “You survived?”

Han Fei didn’t say anything but simply narrowed his eyes.

Su Hongye sneered. “I was told that your whole team was killed. I didn’t expect a spirit gatherer to make it back. Did you run for your life?”

Han Fei sensed uncanny hostility and couldn’t help but look at Meng Guiyi.

Meng Guiyi found it quite tricky too. This Su Hongye is rather straightforward. She might think you deserted your teammates.

Han Fei sneered. “Captain Su, dying a heroic death is honorable, but dying for nothing is just stupid.”

Su Hongye snorted. “Whatever you say, we have only two spirit gatherers for this mission. Even if you die, you must die after your spiritual energy is exhausted. I’ll be the first to execute you if you desert us.”

Han Fei was so angry that he had a strong toothache. Who exactly chose this face for him? He had been despised by two people before he even saw the treasure trove!

The temporary captain of the other team stood up and chuckled. “We’re all comrades. Let’s not give each other a hard time. I’m Zhao Jiayi, a soul warrior and a spirit gatherer…”

Su Hongye turned her head aside. “I didn’t know you. So, you are the other spirit gatherer?”

Xu Mo added, “It’s not bad that you are in two classes. What about your spiritual energy capacity?”

Zhao Jiayi laughed. “I’m sure that your stomach will be satisfied.”

Xu Mo slightly nodded. “Great.”

Han Fei’s lips curled. I can satisfy your stomach too, but I won’t tell you because I have to keep a low profile.

Suddenly, Han Fei sensed that Gong Yuehan was staring at him.

Han Fei scratched his chin. “Is there any dirt on my face?”

Gong Yuehan mocked him, “I’m just surprised that you could hold yourself back.”

Han Fei chuckled. “They all have to call me dad when they need spiritual energy.”

“Why would they call you dad?”

Han Fei was briefly stunned, wondering if she really meant it.

Han Fei asked, “Why don’t you try calling me that?”

Gong Yuehan simply turned her head back. “You wish.”

Liang Tian came late, probably on purpose. Seeing that the twenty people had been gathered, he bellowed expressionlessly, “As usual, you’ll take twenty percent after the treasure trove is conquered. Everybody, set off.”

Out of his natural instincts, Han Fei asked subconsciously, “How much is twenty percent?”

Su Hongye frowned. “You’re coveting the treasures before you even reach the treasure trove?”

Han Fei shrugged and decided to hold it back. This woman was his temporary captain anyway, so he might as well let it pass.

On the sea five thousand kilometers to the north of the Scattered Stars Island…

When Han Fei and his companions arrived, the sea surface was shivering as if something was going to emerge.

A moment later…

Everybody saw abundant human experts, Half-Mermaids, Red Demons and Inferior Man-Fish gathered here.

When Liang Tian arrived, Han Fei saw that there was an eight-star expert that was confronting the sea demons.

Liang Tian asked, “Old Xu, how is it going?”

The eight-star expert snorted. “It’s rather tricky. The barrier hasn’t been opened yet, but a lot of sea demons have come, including seven or so real Heavenly Talents.”

Behind a Half-Mermaid, about thirty more Half-Mermaids that were as strong as Hanging Fishers were glaring at Han Fei and his team in fury.

Han Fei said softly, “Hey, if fury could kill people, we would’ve died hundreds of times.”

Su Hongye advised, “Cut it out. Do you not know how strong the Half-Mermaids are?”

Han Fei thought to himself, Of course I do. I’ve fought the Half-Mermaids twice, and they are crazily strong! They’re as smart as human beings and good at playing tricks.

Liang Tian pointed at the Half-Mermaids on his opposite side and, not caring about their leader, simply said, “Kill them all later.”

But the enemy didn’t give in either. The leading Half-Mermaid bared his fangs and said, “Kill them all.”

Han Fei asked Tang Ge curiously, “Are things so hard for human beings nowadays? Do we have to fight a war to explore every treasure trove?”

Tang Ge said, “For the regular treasure troves, whoever gets there first will claim them, but for a treasure trove that even a peak-level Hidden Fisher can hardly open, it means that great items must be hidden inside.”

Han Fei was confused. “What if the treasure trove is too dangerous for Hanging Fishers?”

Tang Ge shook his head. “Unlikely. In that case, the Hidden Fishers would be competing for it instead of asking us to.”

Zhao Jiayi, the captain of the other team, said, “Everybody, protect me. We can take them down as long as I’m alive.”

Han Fei simply let Zhao Jiayi have things his way and thought to himself, You keep showing off while I look for treasures.

They waited for four hours. When the sea surface sank and the seal was opened, both parties roared, “Go!”

SWISH!

Like dumplings, human beings and the Half-Mermaids charged at the treasure trove. The moment they entered the water, red leaves that looked like worms swept at the sea demons’ formation overwhelmingly.

At the same time, Meng Guiyi threw out a piece of jade and created a defense array that was a thousand meters long.

The sea demons didn’t give in. Some Half-Mermaids summoned their Companion Spirits and slapped the defense array noisily like dragons.

Some Half-Mermaids kicked holes in the defense array with their formidable force and led other Half-Mermaids in.

Meng Guiyi said to everybody telepathically, Don’t fight them. Get into the treasure trove now.

Su Hongye extended her hand and closed it, and all the red leaves exploded, dying the seawater red. “Let’s get inside!”

A battle had already burst out before they entered the treasure trove.

However, Han Fei had been paying attention to something else. Suddenly, he discovered that some of the Half-Mermaids were replaced.

Han Fei became rather grim, as Liang Tian was right that the sea demons possibly had access to the information of human beings. In the mess just now, three of them were replaced.

While Han Fei was stunned, Su Hongye seized him and threw him into the treasure trove. “You’re absentminded? Do you want to get killed?”

Han Fei was thrown right into the red crevice that looked like a wound torn apart.

In the next moment, Han Fei sensed an uncanny chilly vibe of decay.

He spread out his senses, only to find that he seemed to be in a large room. Something was glimmering above his head, and on the dome above the light was a half-naked man who opened his hands. On the floor, thousands of rotten sculptures were standing in rows like a buried army. They reminded him of the Terra Cotta Warriors.

There were twelve arches in this enormous room, and four of them were open with nothing but darkness behind. There was no telling where they would lead to.

Xu Mo roared, “Be careful with those sculptures. My team, come with me and open the arch at the center.”

Meng Guiyi was carving an array at this moment, not a killing one but a maze.

Meng Guiyi instructed, “Tang Ge, lead the team and investigate the opened arches. Xiangxiang, check the sculptures. Everybody will gather at the central gate in five seconds.”

Han Fei looked around and then suddenly swam up. There was no telling if it was because of the Hexagon Starfish, but he had developed an interest for glittering items too.

Therefore, he reached for a glowing pearl on the dome and grabbed it. The moment he grabbed it, he sensed that the painting on the dome seemed to have shivered.

Su Hongye yelled, “Han Fei, what are you doing?”

Han Fei was confused. “I’m inspecting above. This is just a regular pearl. Why are you so nervous?”

Su Hongye was impatient. “Spirit gatherers must stay with the team!”

BAM!

Hardly had Su Hongye finished when some Half-Mermaids broke in and crashed into Meng Guiyi’s maze.

Meng Guiyi roared, “Everybody, gather… Tang Ge, what’s the situation of the four opened arches?”

Tang Ge replied, “There’s something wrong with them. I don’t think we should go in.”

Meng Guiyi roared again, “Xu Mo, is it open?”

Xu Mo turned back. “One moment.”

Crack!

One of the rocks that Meng Guiyi set up was broken, and half of the maze was destroyed.

Chen Aochen roared and grabbed two random sculptures before he threw them at the maze violently.

Chen Aochen roared, “Be ready for battle!”
