“It’s entangled in it! It’s really entangled in it!” Old Man Xu exclaimed with a look of surprise and hatred on his face, which was a mix of complicated emotions. “I knew it wasn’t gone, I knew it.”

The old man made a lot of wooden stakes in the reservoir, and a tough specially-made fishing net was hung between the two stakes. There were bells on the fishing net. As long as the monster swam past, it would be caught by the fishing net and when it struggled, the bells on the fishing net would make a sound.

The old man picked up a steel fork at the door and strode out.

Li Xianyu, afraid that he would be in danger, immediately followed him. Great-Grandma gulped down her chicken soup, put the bowl down and ran out.

The ringing of the bells rang from afar, hundreds of meters from the shore. Old Man Xu couldn’t see clearly, but Li Xianyu con clearly see violent ripples surfacing in the water over there. The net on the surface of the water kept shaking, as there was something entangled in the net underwater. The creature was struggling.

“Sir, wait for us here.” Li Xianyu reached out to pick up his steel fork, but the old man stepped back and said, “I’m going too. I’m going to avenge my grandson myself.”

The old man was very stubborn, Li Xianyu did not have time to argue with him. As time passed, that thing may break free from the fishing net. With the power of a demon descendant, it wouldn’t be trapped by the fishing net for long.

As they untied the rope tied to the stake, Li Xianyu and the old man boarded the boat. Great-Grandma kicked the head of the boat, and the boat immediately floated out, like a yacht. Great-Grandma leapt and jumped onto the boat.

Old Man Xu was stunned by her skillful kung fu. He thought to himself that policemen were capable indeed, even a young girl had great martial arts skills.

Li Xianyu was secretly surprised. He could also kick out such a force but he would have kicked the boat apart. He didn’t have such control as Great-Grandma had.

After the boat floated out more than ten meters, it slowly stopped. Li Xianyu and Old Man Xu had one oar each and continued to row hard.

They were getting closer and closer to the shaking net. Old Man Xu looked at the tightening fish net that was constantly being pulled into the water. He was a little nervous and clenched the steel fork in his hand.

Unfortunately, this steel fork has no effect on foreign species, but it will probably kill a few monkeys.

The monster was so powerful that the stake on the shore was tugged at due to the force and wobbled slightly.

They were still ten meters away from the fishing net, when the water suddenly quieted. The stake no longer wobbled, and the part of the fishing net that should be on the surface of the water also floated up.

It escaped?!

Old Man Xu opened his eyes wide, his expression forlorn and unwilling to give up.

Li Xianyu and Great-Grandma looked at each other. He said, “Sir, wait on the boat. We’ll go inside the water to take a look.”

Old Man Xu stopped him and grabbed Li Xianyu’s arm. “You can’t go down, you’ll be eaten if you go into the water.”

In the eyes of the old man, even if the two policemen were good, they had no chance of fighting back when they go down to the water. In fact, human demon descendants ruled the whole demon descendants community, and they were not even afraid of those flying in the sky. However, they were afraid of those who swam in the water. The force of water was too strong. One could fight with people with different stances on land, but in the water, one’s stances would be manipulated.

“It’s okay. We have guns.” Li Xianyu patted the back of his waist. He turned and turned his back to the old man. He then pulled out two cold light illumination sticks from his wallet, one for Great-Grandma and one for himself in the water. Before he went into the water, he told him, “Sir, don’t float around and wait for us right here.”

They jumped into the water. Splash.

During the day, the water surface of the reservoir was heated into warm water by the sunlight. At this time, the heat dissipated and the water was ice cold.

When they dived into the water, all sounds disappeared, and the lighting stick could only illuminate the sight of a few meters around. There was no other sound in their ears except the muffled sound of their own paddling. During the night, it was completely dark underwater, except the surrounding area illuminated by the stick. They were surrounded by darkness and silence.

Li Xianyu felt terrible because he had deep-sea phobia. He looked around with vigilance, took a shield spiritual device from his wallet and held it in his hand. He then took out a short knife that was half a meter long, with a single edge. It had a sharp edge, a slightly curved body, and was engraved with complicated runes. It resembled a smaller version of a Japanese samurai blade.

They had to admit, although there were not many kinds of weapons in Japan, their advantages were very comprehensive. They were sharp at the tip of the knife and their function was on par with a sword. They were also suitable for slaying and fighting.

The more powerful laser sword couldn’t be used in the water. Fortunately, this blade was also a spiritual device. After injecting qi in it, it was sharp and it could still unleash sword qi.

Li Xianyu converted all the points into spiritual devices, as he advanced step by step into the ranks of Krypton gold players. Even ordinary senior employees didn’t have as many weapons as him.

The light approached, as Great-Grandma swam towards him elegantly. Her waist swayed, as her slender legs were closed together. She looked like an elegant mermaid, her pert buttocks bobbing up and down. Her long hair was like seaweed, and the light of the lighting stick reflected her delicate face. For a moment, Li Xianyu felt that he was a drowning protagonist and had met a beautiful mermaid.

After communicating with each other with gestures, the two swam towards the fishing net together.

The fishing net was about three meters wide. That was to say, it could only catch the creatures within three meters from the surface of the water. The monster probably wanted to surface, so it was caught by the fishing net? Li Xianyu thought.

Li Xianyu held up a lighting stick and lit up the suspended creatures in the water. He carefully examined the fishing net, and there was a tear in the middle. According to the torn seam, it was broken by brute force. But it could also be teeth or claws.

Not far on the left, something lit up. Li Xianyu swam over and looked at it. It was a dark scale, that was the size of half a palm. It reflected the light of the lighting stick.

Fish scales? Li Xianyu swam to Great-Grandma, raised the scales in his hand, and showed her what he had found.

Something’s wrong. He thought the monster was a reptile, like a crocodile, but it was obviously impossible for a crocodile to have scales. That was not the case with crocodile armour.

Is it some kind of fish? But it was very difficult for fish to awaken their bloodline. Mammals were the most likely to awaken their bloodline. Some low-level animals couldn’t do so. It was absolutely impossible, which is the consensus of the demon descendants community.

But it was impossible to fish to come from the outside. Fish did not have legs, unless it was a fish that could transform. Li Xianyu had never heard of fish demon descendants that could transform. This was more incredible than the discovery of the Loch Ness monster.

Furthermore, according to Old Man Xu at the time, before the monster hunted, he didn’t even see any movement on the surface of the water, which ruled out fish. This was because fish, and large fish, were bound to swim near the surface of the water. If it had leapt out from underwater to hunt, it was impossible for it to flash away, and Old Man Xu would certainly see what it looks like.

Li Xianyu accumulated rich knowledge of the program “Animal World” when he was a child, and analyzed madly in his mind.

Just then, Great-Grandma’s aura changed violently, as if she was facing a great enemy.

There was a surging sound of undercurrent in their ears, and something was approaching, behind him.

Li Xianyu tensed up and did not dare to move. He imagined a huge monster floating quietly at the bottom of the dark water behind him. Its ferocious face loomed indistinctly in the light of the lighting stick.
