Volume 4: It's Dark, Please Close Your Eyes Chapter 65 If I don't eat it, and you don't eat it, and it doesn't eat it, someone else will eat it.
The Arctic swordfish will not die from lack of strength, but it will die from being alone.
Sure enough, not having a team is a very dangerous behavior.
But Tang Zheng was a little confused. Why did the four-star one-eyed Vermilion Bird pay the price of its own death in exchange for a bite of food from the other one-eyed Vermilion Birds?
The price is ridiculously high!
He must have forgotten something crucial...
What?
"Master! The Arctic Swordfish is about to sink, it's going to escape..." Tang Xiaotang shouted.
"Hmm..." Tang Zheng didn't think any more, reached out and grabbed the pendant of the fan dagger, then threw the fan dagger out directly!
The dazzling star power pierced the Arctic swordfish through!
The group of one-eyed red birds were also startled, and they all flapped their wings and flew into the sky...
Tang Zheng's move was to pull up the Arctic Swordfish, but he didn't expect that the Arctic Swordfish was so incredibly strong. The four demonic fires behind it suddenly rose up, and its body moved, actually pulling Tang Zheng, who was holding the fan pendant, and causing him to stagger forward .
After all, Zheng Qian had led an independent regiment on the battlefield, so he reacted very quickly and grabbed Tang Zheng from behind.
Tang Zheng's steps steadied immediately, and he stretched out his hand and pulled the Arctic Swordfish backwards.
"Well, this fish is quite strong. Is talent the power of points?" Tang Zheng continued to have fun on the topic that had deviated from the main point.
"Stop talking nonsense and focus on fighting!" Tang Xiaotang scolded Tang Zheng, but gave Zheng Qian a slap on the head.
"Hey..." Zheng Qian was too innocent. He was clearly scolding Tang Zheng, so why did he hit him!
However, before Zheng Qian could call out, Jiang Wuyan and Hua Yingxiu, on Tang Zheng's left and right, had already begun attacking the Arctic swordfish.
The Seven-Pavilion Pagoda behind Jiang Wuyan and the knife in Hua Yingxiu's hand condensed and fired waves of star power...
Then, Tang Xiaotang was about to swing the long whip in her hand forward, but she saw Tang Zheng stopping her: "You can't, your thorn whip is not far enough."
"Then shouldn't I move closer?" Tang Xiaotang thought this question was too stupid.
"Come closer? Are you sure?" Tang Zheng's fingers were not strong enough because his star power was too long. While he was pulling with the big fish, he said, "Have you forgotten how that four-star one-eyed Vermillion Bird died?"
"I haven't forgotten..." Tang Xiaotang's voice lowered.
"It's good that you haven't forgotten!" Tang Zheng said to the others, "Use me as a guide, don't go any further."
When the One-eyed Suzaku was fighting with the Arctic Swordfish just now, he had been watching the range of the Arctic Swordfish's tail swing.
The Arctic swordfish must ensure that at least one-third of its body is above water, so that the remaining two-thirds can be swung out by its tail to knock prey on the shore into the water.
When it swings its tail, it will create a gust of wind with an effective range of about three meters.
The distance between where Tang Zheng and his team are and the shore is exactly this length!
If Zheng Qian hadn't grabbed Tang Zheng just now, Tang Zheng would have been pushed into the water by the big fish and had to engage in a water fight with it.
Of course, Tang Zheng's strength is one star lower than that of the Arctic Swordfish. Even if there is no danger to his life in a water battle, he will probably fight in a very embarrassing way, which will seriously destroy his ideal painting style.
"Then how do we fight now?" Tang Xiaotang, the only one who couldn't provide firepower, was a little anxious.
"Fish...of course you have to catch it first and then catch it!" Tang Zheng said as a matter of course.
Those one-eyed redbirds really don't have enough IQ. They can fly. Why don't they just make a net to catch the big fish, fly up, and then let it fall down?
Even if the Arctic Swordfish has the strength of four stars and this little gravity can't kill it, then can throwing it into the desert work?
Well, even if the desert can't deal with it, it would be okay to just throw it onto the shore and then fight it, right?
"There is really a huge difference between humans and monsters." Zheng Qian was also full of emotion when he heard Tang Zheng say this.
"What's with that expression on your face? It's like you feel superior in terms of intelligence?" Tang Zheng glanced at Zheng Qian with a smile while pulling radishes from the big fish.
"As a human being, of course I..." As soon as Zheng Qian spoke, he heard Tang Xiaotang and the others laughing.
A person compares his IQ with that of a fish and even feels superior!
Zheng Qian is a real talent, no explanation needed!
…
The splashes of the Arctic swordfish tumbling in the water wet a large area of the shore.
Tang Zheng saw that all the plants that were unfortunately stained by the slightly pink oily water splashes withered quickly.
The speed of withering can be seen with the naked eye.
There was indeed something wrong with the blood of the one-eyed Vermilion Bird.
However, the water arrows used by the Arctic Swordfish to attack Tang Zheng and his men were precisely this kind of water stained by the pink blood of the One-eyed Vermilion Bird!
"Be careful to dodge, be careful to dodge." Tang Zheng kept repeating these four words, but he and the others were inevitably hit by one or two water arrows. Fortunately, the wounds were not deep, and the blood quickly washed away the pink blood and prevented it from entering the blood.
"Xiu'er, step back." Tang Zheng felt helpless as he looked at the only three-star warrior in their team.
This trip to the Far North wilderness would not be possible without Hua Yingxiu.
However, Hua Yingxiu, who is already a genius in the Xingyao Continent, is ranked low in their team.
"Okay." Hua Yingxiu didn't force it. She knew that her most important task was to find the Far North Demon Butterflies and gather them together to make Butterfly Zombie Gu.
"If you have the spare time, why not shoot down two of those one-eyed Vermilion Birds up there and have a look?" Tang Zheng said.
"Okay." Hua Yingxiu immediately changed the subject.
Among the One-eyed Suzaku that are still alive, the strongest one is at the peak of three stars.
It shouldn't be a difficult task for Hua Yingxiu to pick out one or two three-star beginner or intermediate level monsters and shoot them down.
However, the strength of this Arctic swordfish was a little beyond Tang Zheng's expectations!
"I can't even pull it like this." Tang was thinking whether he should think of some other way.
"How about we just go and fight." Tang Xiaotang couldn't wait any longer. "We have a five-star warrior leading the team, and three four-star warriors following us. Can we really be defeated by a fish?"
"Stop it." Tang Zheng tapped Tang Xiaotang's nose, "You don't even consider the damage!"
After all, the Arctic Swordfish is not their main purpose of coming to the Arctic Wasteland, nor is it even a secondary purpose. It can only be regarded as "passing by". Tang Zheng certainly hopes to capture it at the lowest cost.
Tang Xiaotang could only hold back her breath and said, "Got it."
Who made her practice martial arts that only require short star power circuits?
Otherwise, if her star power could reach as high as Hua Yingxiu, even if she couldn't catch fish, she could at least shoot birds for fun.
"Zheng Qian!" Tang Zheng suddenly called Zheng Qian's name.
“Yes, yes.”
"Take this." Tang Zheng stuffed the pendant of the fan dagger in his hand into Zheng Qian's hand.
"Hey, hey, hey, what...what are you doing for me?"
“You keep fishing.”
"What about you?"
"I'll seduce it..."
"How to seduce?" Zheng Qian subconsciously took the fan pendant and was almost pulled off balance by the fish just like Tang Zheng. However, just as he asked the question, he saw Tang Zheng using his martial arts footwork and rushing towards the shore.
"Hey, hey, hey, Master!" Tang Xiaotang almost caught up, but luckily she remembered the warning line Tang Zheng mentioned and did not cross it.
The moment Tang Zheng approached the shore, the Arctic Swordfish really leaped up, creating a huge splash, and its tail flew towards Tang Zheng quickly.
Fishtail is fast!
But Tang Zheng is faster!
At the moment when the fish's tail swept over, Tang Zheng shouted "Pull!" to Zheng Qian, and at the same time, he crouched down and easily went around the curve of the fish's tail.
Zheng Qian's reaction was still a beat slow.
Tang Zheng's "pull" made him understand that it was easier to pull the Arctic Swordfish when it was in the air than in the water. That was why Tang Zheng took the initiative to "seduce" the Arctic Swordfish to fly into the air and hit him with its tail.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Zheng Qian also knew that he did not seize the best opportunity and apologized quickly.
"Come again." Tang Zheng didn't expect to succeed in one try, so he continued to fight with the Arctic Swordfish.
Zheng Qian was very focused this time!
As soon as you see the Arctic Swordfish reach its highest point, immediately mobilize all your star power to pull it ashore.
Of course, it was very dangerous to do so, because if he failed to pull himself ashore successfully, the moment he lost his strength, he would be pulled into the water by the Arctic swordfish.
However, once the Far North Swordfish is pulled ashore...
There's no need for them to take action. Tang Zheng is a five-star warrior. Can't he slice it into sashimi in minutes?
wait……
Waiting for the right time…
However, it was not known whether it was because of Tang Zheng’s star-level suppression that made the Arctic Swordfish feel dangerous, or for some other reason, the Arctic Swordfish did not try to slap Tang Zheng into the water, but tried desperately to escape underwater.
If the fan dagger had not pierced through its body and kept it firmly hooked, it might have actually escaped!
At this moment, a fiery red bird fell from the sky - shot down by Hua Yingxiu.
"Be careful to avoid its blood and check if there is anything abnormal." Tang Zhengdao.
"Hmm!" Hua Yingxiu didn't even touch the one-eyed Vermilion Bird, but directly threw a small flying insect out of her sleeve and went over to inspect it.
After a while, her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly.
Tang Xiaotang knew something was wrong as soon as she saw it: "Sister Xiu'er, what's wrong?"
"Your master is wrong." Hua Yingxiu said in confusion: "The roasted fish in their mouths is still in their mouths, and they haven't swallowed a single bite... They don't eat Arctic swordfish!"
Because of Hua Yingxiu's words, it was as if a floodgate was opened in Tang Zheng's mind.
I remember it!
I remember everything!
"They don't eat, not because they don't want to, but because they can't eat." Tang Zheng looked at the fish that couldn't escape and circled in the water, and immediately said, "We'll talk about eating later. Zheng Qian, get ready..."
Ready?
Will it jump out of the water?
Although Zheng Qian was confused, he was still prepared. He waited for the moment when the Arctic swordfish jumped out of the water and immediately gave it his all!
