Chapter 2023 - 1537: An Unexpected Windfall!_3

A moment of distraction gave the other strange fish an opportunity, more strange fish lunged forward, and in the blink of an eye, submerged the Indian A-San completely."Hiss~~~~ so many!!"

Seeing this mass of dark, frenzied strange fish pouncing on the Indian A-San, even Qin Fang, as an outsider, couldn't help but gasp.

There were so many strange fish that they completely submerged a person, so much so that Qin Fang could hardly find any spot on this Indian A-San that wasn't bitten by the strange fish.

The scene was incredibly brutal, considering this Indian A-San was a Grandmaster Mid-Stage expert. Even wounded, he was not someone to be easily trifled with.

Yet, facing this onslaught of countless strange fish, his Grandmaster-level strength was utterly useless.

Puchi puchi~~~

Just hearing such eerie sounds, under the siege of these strange fish, this Indian A-San, despite his Grandmaster Mid-Stage power, was torn to shreds.

Not only to shreds, there was nothing left behind, as he was completely devoured by these strange fish... even the earlier strange fish's strength had vanished!

Qin Fang felt immensely fortunate that he hadn't recklessly intervened out of sympathy, otherwise, it wouldn't just be this Indian A-San who suffered, but himself as well!

"Thank goodness, thank goodness..."

It was indeed Qin Fang's luck that saved him; although he had more life-saving skills than the Indian A-San, facing such a swarm of strange fish, Qin Fang felt that he might not have escaped unscathed either.

Poor Indian A-San, perhaps his yoga was superb, effective against human experts, but against these fearless, low-intelligence strange fish, it was useless, leading to his death, with even his flesh devoured by the fish.

After tearing apart this Indian A-San, the strange fish seemed satisfied, sluggishly moving back into the underground dark river.

As for the Crouching Tiger Grass, it stood quietly as before. The Indian A-San almost picked it, but was distracted by these strange fish, failing in the attempt.

Only after seeing it did Qin Fang relax significantly, his tense heart finally easing.

"Let's wait a bit..."

Though the strange fish had vanished and the Indian A-San was eliminated, Qin Fang hadn't detected any other trialists for the time being, so the Crouching Tiger Grass was temporarily safe.

However, Qin Fang was in no rush to pick it...

The precedent set by Indian A-San lingered; he didn't want to be the next unlucky guy surrounded and killed by strange fish...

These strange fish lived in this underground dark river, and didn't even appear on Qin Fang's small map, making it a troublesome situation for him.

To detect their movements, unless the strange fish revealed themselves, Qin Fang could only use the scouting skill repeatedly on this small stretch of underground dark river for confirmation.

This was a time-consuming and laborious effort, not a wise choice...

Qin Fang speculated that the strange fish swarmed the Indian A-San likely because they were attracted by the scent of blood.

Earlier, Qin Fang closely observed, perhaps the first strange fish intended to sneak attack the Indian A-San, but after it was killed, the scent of blood began to spread.

Not only from the dead strange fish but also from the Indian A-San himself, agitating the strange fish lurking in the underground dark river.

They gathered because of this... the Indian A-San, relying on his strength and seeking revenge for the prior setback, slaughtered the strange fish madly.

But the more he fought, the thicker the blood scent grew, attracting more strange fish, becoming the fuse for his downfall!

"This is truly a failed attempt at pretentiousness turned into disaster..."

The Indian A-San died with no remains, and Qin Fang couldn't help but comment while looking at the spot. This guy had been showing off to Qin Fang before, yet before Qin Fang could even retaliate, he was killed...

With the man already dead, there was no point in dwelling on it, so Qin Fang focused on the underground dark river, continuously using his scouting skill.

In this manner, Qin Fang chose to wait while his mini-map monitored the surroundings, preventing any sudden appearance of other trialists.

Fortunately, such an event didn't occur, and after waiting for more than ten minutes, Qin Fang finally felt calm.

"Time to act!"

Only then did Qin Fang confirm that the strange fish had indeed left, and the Crouching Tiger Grass was temporarily safe.

Perhaps the strange fish would wander back soon, but Qin Fang couldn't afford to worry about that; he just needed a brief moment.

With a swift movement, Qin Fang reached the Crouching Tiger Grass and prepared countermeasures against any strange fish sneak attacks.

Primarily, Qin Fang was here for the Crouching Tiger Grass. His hand swiftly grabbed it, activating the Herb Gathering Technique, and the Crouching Tiger Grass was instantly picked, becoming a stream of light disappearing into Qin Fang's Props Box.

"Finally got it..."

With the Crouching Tiger Grass in hand, Qin Fang's smile grew bright, and he became light and cheerful.

Acquiring this Crouching Tiger Grass wasn't easy, full of twists and turns. The Indian A-San almost succeeded, but unexpectedly, it ended up in Qin Fang's hands.

One could only say that the Indian A-San had terrible luck, taking the blame for Qin Fang and losing his life, while the benefits and advantages were picked up by Qin Fang for free...
