A Bite of Douluo Continent

Just as Qi Han had given up on the silver threadfin fish and was about to grab another one from the bucket, he caught a glimpse of a bluish light out of the corner of his eye.

Ok?

Qi Han abruptly stopped, his head shrank back slightly to avoid being discovered.

Just then, a slender, bluish-green eel emerged from beneath the silver threadfin fish and bit down on the frantically fleeing fish.

They arrived so quickly!

Qi Han couldn't help but be surprised. From the time he dropped the silver thread fish to the appearance of the green-scaled dragon eel, it was probably less than two breaths.

Is this road nearby?

The silver threadfin fish was bitten in half by the dragon eel. With Qi Han's eyesight, he could clearly see the slightly white mouth of the blue-scaled dragon eel chew twice, swallow the half silver threadfin fish, and then turn its head to continue eating the other half.

Just then, another blue-scaled dragon eel suddenly appeared and bit the remaining half of the silver thread fish.

Its body, due to its excessively rapid charge, was unable to brake in time and, driven by inertia, leaped out of the water in an instant, drawing a bright blue parabola before falling back into the water.

Goodness, this guy's really going all out to get food!

Qi Han couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement, but then he saw the blue-scaled dragon eel that had its food stolen react quickly after a brief moment of confusion, and spray a jet of water at the predator that was about to fall into the water.

The scrambler seemed to have anticipated this, twisting its body to dodge the water jet before falling into the water.

The water column continued its momentum, shooting towards a reef near Qi Han in an instant, piercing a small hole in the reef to Qi Han's astonishment.

Goodness…

Qi Han took a deep breath. This level of piercing force was probably not much different from the high-pressure water jet cutting machine in his previous life.

This was merely a casual spit from the thousand-year-old azure-scaled dragon eel, which was only two meters long.

As the predator fell into the water, the battle between the two blue-scaled dragon eels was not over. They grappled fiercely, while jets of water, which they had dodged, shot out from underwater in all directions, like uncontrolled fountains.

Qi Han couldn't help but shrink back, afraid that these two guys would be caught in the crossfire.

Both of these azure-scaled dragon eels were only at the thousand-year level, so he didn't plan to make a move and expose himself too early.

However, this also served as a reminder to him that it's best not to go into the water recklessly when fighting such sea spirit beasts.

On land, at least you can see the water column, and if you react quickly, you can dodge it.

The water column is invisible and intangible in the water, making it even more difficult to defend against.

Once the two blue-scaled dragon eels stopped spewing water, Qi Han finally popped his head out to observe them.

Both dragon eels had some wounds, but they were all minor, and it was clear that neither of them could do anything to the other. At this moment, the two green-scaled dragon eels separated and were about to dive into the water to continue to recuperate.

That won't do.

Qi Han felt a surge of anxiety.

Although these two weren't what he needed, he was still hoping they would attract other eels.

Don't run away, you eel!

Chapter 433 Discovered (Bonus chapter for the new helmsman of this book, Dust-Ash-Falling)

Seeing that the two green-scaled dragon eels were about to go back to their respective homes, Qi Han did not hesitate. He reached into the bucket, grabbed a silver threadfin fish, pinched its spine slightly to prevent it from escaping immediately after falling into the water, and then threw it directly into the sea.

The commotion in the water startled the two blue-scaled dragon eels that were about to leave. They quickly turned back and swam over to fight for the silver threadfish again.

Enemies meeting are bound to be furious. The two had just fought not long ago, and now, in order to fight over the silver threadfish that had appeared, they quickly started fighting again.

This time, the commotion was much greater, and soon the noise from their fight attracted other members of their kind.

Under Qi Han's somewhat excited gaze, seven or eight azure-scaled dragon eels slowly rose from the seabed, appearing in the area in front of him with streaks of bright azure light, seemingly probing the movements here.

Unfortunately, all these green-scaled dragon eels were of the hundred-year or thousand-year level, and the ten-thousand-year-old green-scaled dragon eel he needed was nowhere to be found.

After observing carefully, Qi Han shook his head in disappointment.

However, given the current situation, he already had some ideas on how to lure out the ten-thousand-year-old Azure Scaled Dragon Eel.

The fight between the two blue-scaled dragon eels attracted seven or eight of their companions. If we continue to throw in silver threadfish and make them fight again, will we be able to attract even more blue-scaled dragon eels?

In that case, wouldn't the probability of an existence at the ten-thousand-year level increase?

Qi Han, you really are a little genius!

A confident smile appeared on his face as he grabbed two silver threadfin fish from the bucket and threw them towards the two dragon eels that were fighting and the dragon eels that were watching.

Oh!

It was thrown slightly off-center.

But it's not a big problem.

Seeing the blue-scaled dragon eels start frantically snatching the silver threadfish, the fight escalated and became even more intense. Qi Han breathed a sigh of relief and pulled his head back to avoid being hit by the haphazardly sprayed water jets.

Keep fighting, keep attracting your companions.

A look of anticipation appeared on his face. When the jet of water gradually slowed down, he tentatively stuck his head out and burst out laughing.

Well done!

At this moment, there are thirteen green-scaled dragon eels in the arena, one of which is even about four meters long.

Once a soul beast like the Azure Scaled Dragon Eel exceeds five meters in length, it is considered a ten-thousand-year-old existence. A four-meter-long Azure Scaled Dragon Eel like this must have at least seven thousand years of cultivation.

If giants that are seven thousand years old have already appeared, how far away can those that are ten thousand years old be?

Qi Han's face immediately lit up with excitement.

So it seems this mission was pretty simple, huh?

Seeing that the two silver threadfin fish he had just thrown away had been eaten, Qi Han reached out and grabbed four or five more silver threadfin fish at once, throwing them into the sea all at once.

Start fighting, all of you!

Huh?

As the silver threadfin fish fell back into the sea, the green-scaled dragon eels in the arena began to scramble for it, but the four-meter-long green-scaled dragon eel seemed unhurried, which surprised Qi Han slightly.

What? Did it come here after it had eaten its fill?

The longest blue-scaled dragon eel did not join its companions in the fight; instead, it silently stirred up the water. As the ripples spread, Qi Han faintly heard a strange sound.

Although he had never seen it in person, Qi Han was no stranger to the Azure Scaled Dragon Eel's actions.

This is their unique way of communicating.

But what does it need to communicate at this time?

Should they share some with their companions? Or should they continue to gather their companions to snatch food?

Just as Qi Han was feeling a bit confused, the other blue-scaled dragon eels that were vying for the silver thread fish suddenly stopped moving. Even the silver thread fish that had been torn into pieces stopped fighting over and turned their heads to look in Qi Han's direction.

Gu Qihan: "???"

"Run!"

"Meow!"

A light gray mist instantly shimmered on Gulu's body, and it vanished from its spot with Qi Han, reappearing on another reef next door.

At the same instant, the spot where Qi Han had been standing was riddled with holes by countless jets of water spewed out by the green-scaled dragon eels.

Without hesitation, Qi Han turned around instantly, picked up Gulu and ran away, not forgetting to take the bucket full of silver threadfin fish with him.

Grass! (A type of plant)

It was discovered!

Clearly, the four-meter-long azure-scaled dragon eel was not only stronger than its kind, but also more intelligent. It realized that the appearance of these silver thread fish was deliberately thrown into the sea, and it locked onto Qi Han almost instantly. It even secretly called on its companions to join the attack.

The high-pressure water jet was ejected at a speed far exceeding Qi Han's own speed. If it weren't for the gurgling mist that flashed, it wouldn't have been the reef that was riddled with holes, but rather Qi Han's body.

Only after running a distance and completely away from the reef area did Qi Han breathe a sigh of relief. He stopped and sat down on a rock under a small tree, placing the silver threadfin fish bucket aside, his eyes filled with contemplation.

From this perspective, this method seems unlikely to be feasible.

While younger-aged blue-scaled dragon eels may not be detected, older ones will reveal the problem.

What Qi Han needed were precisely those with long service records.

We need to think of other solutions...

...

In the blink of an eye, two days have passed.

Over the past two days, Qi Han tried dozens of different methods to lure the ten-thousand-year-old Azure Scaled Dragon Eel, but none of them worked.

To lure the group of blue-scaled dragon eels out, he used various baits and even pretended to attack them himself, trying to see if he could lure out even stronger individuals.

But perhaps because of the creature's inherently cowardly nature, Qi Han's methods failed to work.

The most promising attempt was last night. He had a sudden inspiration and threw a lotus lantern into the sea, which floated on the surface of the water at night and attracted fish from the water. That attempt attracted a large number of blue-scaled dragon eels in the vicinity, but the longest one was only about four and a half meters long, and there was still some distance between them and five meters.

If it weren't for the clear markings on the nautical chart indicating that there were indeed three Thousand-Year-Old Scaled Dragon Eels near this island, Qi Han would almost have thought that there were no Thousand-Year-Old Soul Beasts here.

With only a little over a day left before the mission ended, Qi Han's food acquisition mission was about to fail because he couldn't find the corresponding target, which made him increasingly anxious.

"Should I change my approach?" Qi Han sat on the reef with Gulu in his arms, looking at the calm sea with some irritation.

Previously, he had always stayed on the island, trying various methods to lure the blue-scaled dragon eels out. Because he was worried that if he appeared on the sea, he would be attacked by the blue-scaled dragon eels, he never considered risking his life.

But it has now been almost proven that simply using various baits on the island to lure the blue-scaled dragon eel is probably not enough.

So he'll probably have to go into business for art... oh no, I mean for his mission.

But... should I just jump like that?

Qi Han looked at the calm, mirror-like sea and silently shook his head. Not to mention that no matter how good his swimming skills were, he couldn't compare to the sea spirit beasts, the fact that Gulu couldn't swim made it clear that he couldn't do this.

Humans and cats are both land animals, and their fighting abilities cannot be fully utilized in water.

and so…

Qi Han turned his head and fixed his gaze on the trees on the island.

How about building a platform that can be used for landing at sea?
