Chapter 949: Failed fishing

“Remember carefully. I will head down when the marker moves. All of you attack when that fellow reveals its head; be more accurate!”

Little Peng wore a tight leather shirt of unknown material, revealing his muscular figure. He stared at the ocean surface and gave orders to a 50-person squad.

Beside him were four evolved men holding a giant fishing rod. The long fishing line was tossed into the ocean, and when it landed, fresh blood spread around the ocean's surface.

After saying that, Little Peng checked his equipment.

Two tridents were by his waist, and a harpoon was on his back. There were daggers tied to his arms and his ankle.

He pulled out the trident and looked at the water's surface to see if there was any movement.

“So long?”

A subordinate muttered. He frowned and was slightly impatient.

Fishing in the base hadn’t been going well recently. The number of prey had reduced compared to a few days ago, which caused their gains to decline. Even Little Peng came himself today. They were also using the most precious bait-- mutated lamb meat. If those fellows that swam near the shore didn’t get on the hook, they could basically confirm that something was happening in the ocean.

“It moved!”

The giant marker sunk, causing everyone to focus. Little Peng looked to the side. That person closed his eyes, and mental energy surged from his body. It spread across the ocean surface and reached the marker.

He then opened his eyes and nodded to Little Peng, “Mutated dolphin fish, but only one. But I can’t sense its level.”

This was a special job, “Brain Artist”. The main ability was to consume mental energy to scan a specific location and sense what was happening there.

As the job level increased, the ability would get stronger. One could even scan a very far location when it reached the highest level.

As the situation in the ocean was very dangerous, when the Cloud Port division fished for such quick and strong fishes like the Dolphin Fish, they would definitely bring this evolved along. If there were too many of them or if there were dangers in the water, they wouldn’t head in and would just try to drag the fish onto shore.

Little Peng was quick but not as fast as the ocean lifeform behind him. When he was 20 meters from the shore, that dolphinfish was close to him. It opened its mouth and fired a ball of ocean sand, which struck him.

He didn’t dodge and continued to swim.

When it was about to hit him, a purplish black figure rose from the area where Little Peng passed. It blocked behind him and took the hits.

At the same time, a purple liquid spat from that lifeform’s body, dying the ocean water the same color.

That dolphin fish turned, and that fishing line broke. That fierce dolphinfish shook its body twice before turning and leaving.

Little Peng got to shore and turned to see the lifeform that helped him block the attack slowly floating over. This was his battle pet. It was now level five, and looked very soft, but its defense was high. However, it had toxins that even level six and seven lifeforms feared.

Everyone raised the broken rod and rushed over in dejection.

The line and hook were specially made. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to trick a cunning mutated lifeform. Each loss was a huge one.

“It is okay, next time...”

“Boss!”

A person rushed over hurriedly, which attracted all the attention.

“Boss, that, boss is here!”

Everyone was confused, and they only redacted a few seconds later. Little Peng led them over and saw Ye Zhongming strolling in the camp.

Everyone was delighted. After talking about the recent situation, Ye Zhongming told them to find a spot for the son platform and also told them how to use and nurture it.

He then heard that Little Peng and the others had gone fishing, so he became interested. He took them to carry the Bluewater Boat and returned to the ocean shore.
