Chapter 197 - Unreasonable (2/2)
“There’s no way, is there?”
Chen Jingzhou forced a smile, not quite knowing Jiang He as well as Cheng Dongfeng. “Jiang He must be joking. Why would he provoke a Feral King on purpose, knowing that one is residing at Lake Kanas?”
Joke, my foot!
Cheng Dongfeng recalled Jiang He’s deeds over the last month or so. With a shove of his feet, he chased after Jiang He from the direction where he disappeared.
Was there anything that brat would not dare to do?
If he said that he would go fishing at Lake Kanas…
He might really do it!
“Old Cheng!”
Seeing that Cheng Dongfeng was giving chase, Chen Jingzhou promptly used his form technique in pursuit as well, yelling, “What are you doing?”
“I’m going to drag Jiang He back!”
Even so, with Cheng Dongfeng’s speed and being in the forest, how could he speed match a black panther’s?
Indeed, the black panther quickly covered the fortyish kilometers of road.
After traversing the mountain forest, a massive lake appeared before him.
The azure lake water was rippling beneath the brush of a breeze. Rocky peaks as well as many abandoned buildings stood on both ends of the lake—after all, Lake Kanas had been a 5A national tourist spot, a geographical park, a forest park, a natural preserve, a natural heritage, a low-carbon emission experimental tourist zone and was famous for being the most beautiful lake of Hua Nation.
For example, Lake Kanas was famous for its color-changing pool.
Located at the heart of Lake Kanas, the changing of seasons and climate would alternate the shade of the lake between different colors such as green-gray, azure, milky-white, black-green or emerald.
Jiang He estimated that his might be around the ‘color-changing pool’ presently.
Jumping off the black panther, Jiang He promptly strode towards the lake, walking over water for a dozen meters before realizing something—
“Hold on…”
“Since Chen Jingzhou and the others did not come, that Red Toad King would not go out of its way to attack them, would it? So, they safe now, and why would I waste my time fighting the Red Toad King?”
“Why shouldn’t I save time and head straight to Mount Tian and kill that Golden-Crowned Black Eagle, and then hurry on to Tantra.”
Jiang He returned ashore.
He was about to leave when he remembered an article he read on a magazine—Lake Kanas was famous for its lenok, burbot, arctic catfish, red bass, and other species of fishes.
Even as he stared at the water, Jiang He’s spirit could sense the huge fishes swimming within the lake.
“All of you are swimming and seducing me here!”
Whipping out a handful of pea bombs and simply throwing it into the lake, he thought to himself, “The Red Toad King probably wouldn’t mind me blowing up a few fish for a sumptuous meal, would it? Moreover, Lake Kanas is so huge, and it probably would not sense what’s going on here if it stayed downstream.”
In the next instant—
Booooom!
The pea bombs hence erupted under the lake.
The shockwave from the explosion kicked up huge waves, and the flames generated shot up into the air with the waves.
It was quite the sight.
“Most of the aquatic life here would have evolved into Ferals. I wonder if a handful of pea bombs could blow them up… but just in case…”
Jiang He whipped out two more handfuls of pea bombs and threw them into the lake as well.
He could not help chuckling upon hearing the rumble of explosions.
Back then, Lake Kanas was a 5A tourist spot and a national preserve. Fishing—let alone blast fishing was basically poaching.
He might be the only one who dared to do this.
***
Cheng Dongfeng and Chen Jingzhou were left dumbstruck when they heard the rumble of explosions, even as they gave chase from behind.
Up in the distant skies, Three Blades Lin was utterly stunned as well.
What the hell!
What was Jiang He doing?
Was he throwing bombs into Lake Kanas?
In the next split second, Three Blades Lin’s face dropped as he looked downstream of Lake Kanas from afar…
A horrific aura was bursting out from the lake, and rapidly approached Jiang He’s location.
***
At the shores of the lake.
Jiang He’s face twitched as he stared out into the distance, unable to hold back his rage as he sensed the Feral King aura that was rapidly closing in from afar.
That vermin the Red Toad King was actually threatening and intimidating him with its aura.
Was that necessary? I’m just blasting a few fishes in your territory…
The Red Toad King… was rather unreasonable!
