Chapter 1346: A Giant Fish Shows Up

What’s going on out there?
On hearing what Lin Qiao said, Duan Juan and the others figured that some unexpected situation was probably happening outside.
Lin Qiao gave them a hand gesture to signal for them to dismiss and said while walking into the house,
There’s a magnetic field between the air and the river. I guess my appearance broke the magnetic field and caused a great number of energy swirls to descend from the air. Those energy swirls aren’t like the one we’ve seen before. They can move.

Hearing the keywords like ‘a great amount’ and ‘they can move’, Duan Juan, Li Zheng and the others immediately pictured the crazy scene out there. A series of energy swirl would certainly generation suction force. At last, they might even merge into a huge energy tornado, and the energy contained in it could not be touched. It was indeed not easy to move through such an energy swirl group.
Everyone was aware that crossing the river wouldn’t be easy, but they never thought that not even Lin Qiao, a level-eight zombie, could do it. That was indeed a little unexpected!
Sensing their confusion, Lin Qiao explained,
I’d be able to cross the river with some extra time and energy if I only needed to deal with those energy swirls. However, as a group of flying fishes came out of the water, I start to feel that it was a little too hard. Those underground creatures are all so weird. We’ve seen a flying cat, and now there’re some flying fishes with combs. They’re so ugly!

At last, she couldn’t help but complain about how ugly those fishes were. The mushroom-like combs on those fishes’ heads were honestly so unpleasant to the eyes!

Fishes? Flying fishes?
The other gave a start upon hearing about the flying fishes. However, they realized that they shouldn’t have been surprised at all. After all, it was a perfectly normal thing for fishes to exist in a river.
Besides, flying fishes wasn’t something unheard of. After all, there was a kind of fish that was able to leap high and almost fly before the apocalypse, let alone the mutated fishes that emerged after the apocalypse. Some of them were not only able to fly, but also run! They had actual feet!


Are there many of them?
If those fishes made even Lin Qiao feel so troubled, there must be a large number of them, and they were probably fast.
Lin Qiao nodded. As everyone came in, she pointed at the couches in the living room to signal for them to sit down.

There are a lot of them, and they fly as fast as arrows. Every one of them seems to be at level five or six. They’re not so easy to deal with,
Lin Qiao sat on a couch and leaned on the back as she folded her arms and said. After saying that, she narrowed her eyes to look outside her space. After she disappeared, those fishes started flying all over the area aimlessly, darting through the energy swirls.
After spending a few seconds observing the outside, Lin Qiao opened her eyes and said,
I came in to see if those fishes would go back down into the water after losing their target. If they left, I’ll take the opportunity and go outside and cross the river. Of course, if they didn’t, I’ll still have to give it a try.


Worst-case scenario, she could wrap herself with the black fire and rush straight to the other side of the river. She wouldn’t get injured by doing that but would have to consume a lot of her energy. Also, if she were accidentally sucked into an energy swirl and thrown down into the river, she would probably need to worry about her own safety.
After Lin Qiao disappeared, the flying fishes lost their target and started flying around aimlessly, gradually slowing down. However, the energy swirls didn’t slow down like the fishes.
The fishes slowed down but didn’t seem to leave. Instead, they kept flying through those energy swirls, seemingly waiting for Lin Qiao to show up again.
Lin Qiao stayed in her space quietly, waiting for the outside to settle down. Meanwhile, the others found some places for themselves to sit down, stand, or squat. About ten minutes later, she finally found those fishes start to dive back into the water one after another.
She immediately grew excited, assuming that those fishes had finally given up. But soon, she realized that she was wrong.
As all the flying fishes went back into the water, an enormous fish emerged from the river. It was at least fifty meters long and ten meters wide. Its fins on both sides of its body spread like the wings of a plane.
It leaped hundreds of meters high and then it folded its fins and flipped in the air. When it was about to fall back into the water, it spread its fins again and started to hover around. It was flying airily, lashing its huge and soft fishtail like how it swam in the water. That would be a pretty scene if the fish didn’t look so ugly.
Its huge body dissipated the energy swirls near it when it came up into the air and flipped.
Lin Qiao looked at that extra, extra, extra-large flying fish and wanted again to complain about how weird its comb looked. In fact, the fish’s body looked normal. Its body had no scales, black and shiny with a huge and long tail and a pair of wing-like fins, not looking ugly at all. However, its head looked so weird that she couldn’t even bear to look directly at it.
She even hoped that the fish could have some thorns or horns or scales on its head instead of that huge mushroom-like comb!
As the big fish showed up, all the small fishes disappeared without a trace. The big fish came out of the water and hovered above the river, dissipating the energy swirls. The whirlpools in the river disappeared along with the energy swirls as well.
Looking at the enormous flying fish, Lin Qiao couldn’t help but wonder if it would look like the mythical flying fish from ancient China if it were slightly better-looking. However, the face of that fish disabled her from associating it with a mythical ancient Chinese creature.
Nonetheless, she was surprised by what happened after the big fish showed up. It came out and destroyed those energy swirls, and by doing that, it actually did her a favor.
Between a huge obstacle and a series of obstacles that would have her surrounded, Lin Qiao would choose the former. It would be much easier if there were only one obstacle. The fish had done her such a big favor by making those energy swirls disappear.
With that thought, she quickly stood up and disappeared in front of the others. Once she flashed out of the space, she wielded an arm and sent a stream of dark fire under her feet, bringing her swiftly toward the other side of the river.
