# Chapter 2585: We Anglers Never Go Home Empty-Handed
Leaving Xing Luo and Karl to continue suffering here, it's likely that "knocking Luo and punching Karl" will become a traditional custom of the Ming He Death Prison, passed down forever, right?
As for Jiangnan, he took everyone to visit his Golden House and the Southern God's Small Shop.
Chong Feiyu even invited everyone to her insect nest cell as guests, and the group was truly startled by the gloomy interior decoration, breaking out in goosebumps all over.
Looking at the empty bedside table, there should have been a lamp there originally.
Remembering this, Chong Feiyu's face darkened, and she gave Jiangnan a jab in the ribs, then dragged Bing Chacha out and beat her up again.
Everyone didn't stay long in Ming He Death Prison, after all, fishing was the real business.
The group directly arrived at the bridge over the river at the Breaking Waves Square.
Now this bridge had also become a dangerous bridge, as if it could collapse at any moment.
Feeling the surging Styx water below and the violent roar echoing in their ears, Qian Benying and the others' faces turned pale.
Is this Styx really something people can go down into?
Chong Feiyu was also getting nervous now. Although she was a Star Devourer, in the Minghe Star Domain, more than ninety percent of her abilities were gone.
Even encountering the Minghe Koi fish, she would be helpless.
(￢﹏￢٥) "Weren't we supposed to fish? How are we going to fish? Don't count on me, I...I I can't do it!"
As for Youming, he simply didn't come along, but stood guard in front of the Ming He Death Star, waving from afar:
(〃•́ꇴ≠)ﾂ "Good luck! I believe in you guys!"
Wang Youzhi stood aside with his arms crossed, looking smug and watching the excitement, thinking: Let's see how you tame that stupid fish.
Jiangnan waved his hand grandly:
(ꈍ⇀ꈍ๑)ﾂ "Such a small matter, how could I, Chef Jiang, personally handle it? Jin Ke, you go!"
As he spoke, he stuffed a sack into Qing Ke's hands and tied the rope around her waist.
Qing Ke looked at the rope around her waist and the sack in her hands, and immediately froze.
=͟͟͞͞(꒪ー꒪ོ‧̣̥̇)
She trembled like a sieve, almost scared to tears.
(☍﹏⁰ོ) "Huh? You want... me to go?"
Jiangnan shrugged: ʅ(･´‸･｀)ʃ "Of course. Otherwise, why would I bring you here? You're the Child of Destiny anyway, you can't die. Go on, go on. We'll cheer for you!"
Qing Ke was about to say something, but in her mind, the tragic image of Xing Luo and Karl immediately surfaced.
(ོ☍～⁰) "Wuwu... Qing Ke will be a good bait. But... if no fish bites, remember to pull me up, okay? Thank you."
After speaking, she picked up the sack, took a deep breath, and looked toward the Styx. But seeing the boundless, surging river, Qing Ke still trembled uncontrollably.
"Ho...how do I get in? Just jump straight down?"
Jiangnan grinned: "Then I'll cast the line for you!"
With that, he grabbed the rope around Qing Ke's waist, took two steps back, then charged forward violently!
Blood Incineration maxed out, Baleful Qi Secret Art fully infused, the muscles on his arms bulging like coiled dragons!
Leaning forward, he swung his arm with all his strength and threw her!
=͟͟͞͞(‧ོ̣̥̇థ⌂థ) "Hey hey hey! Wait! I'll jump! I'll jump! Ahhh!!!"
Qing Ke's scream lasted only a short moment before disappearing, and in an instant, she had been flung so far by Jiangnan that she became a tiny dot in the starry sky.
The reel was spinning so fast that it was smoking.
Everyone opened their mouths wide, staring in shock at Qing Ke being thrown out.
Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
*The Correct Way to Use a Child of Destiny?*
Wu Liang smacked his lips: "If you cast a line like this from the Pacific Ocean, Brother Nan would probably throw the bait all the way to the opposite shore, right?"
Qing Ke truly experienced speed and passion.
As her momentum faded, she was about to fall into the Styx.
She didn't know if her physique could withstand the erosion of the Styx water.
In a flash of inspiration, she quickly opened the sack she was holding and stuffed herself inside!
She crashed into the Styx, skipping across the surface like a stone under the pull of the rope.
Jiangnan shouted from afar: "You set the bait, I'll make the chum. I've prepared it all in the sack!"
Qing Ke shuddered, not daring to delay, and hurriedly pulled out Da Li 2.0 from the sack, pouring it into the Styx.
Meanwhile, Jiangnan was on the bridge, pulling out mountains of Da Li and dumping them into the Styx.
He didn't believe the Minghe Koi wouldn't bite!
As thousands of barrels of Da Li poured into the river, the Da Li began to spread in the Styx, poisoning the waters.
But after dumping for a long time, there was still no reaction. Jiangnan's system space's Da Li stock was rapidly decreasing.
Even the prison guards who had gone outside the Minghe Star Domain to pick up new arrivals came ashore bald-headed.
The new prisoners were bewildered:
Σ-`(°△°|||)´- "Th...this... Do you have to shave your head to enter Ming He Death Prison? They just shave it right in the river? That's convenient?"
Jiangnan began to get anxious. Last time, the Minghe Koi had come rushing over wanting to drink Da Li, bumping people if they didn't get any.
Why wasn't it coming out now even after dumping so much?
He was also exchanging Da Li 2.0 with resentment points. Dumping like this, no matter how many resentment points he had, it wouldn't be enough.
Last time he drew the lottery was before the Cosmos Grand Hunt. After the entire battle, Jiangnan had accumulated a huge amount of resentment points.
He had originally planned to draw a wave and keep some resentment points for exchanging items during the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle.
But judging by the current situation, if he didn't make a proper chum spot, he really wouldn't get a bite.
Jiangnan's eyes turned red:
(ꐦ͡'益͡') "I don't believe it! I, Jiang Fill-the-Sea, will either fill this entire Styx or catch that big crucian carp!"
"Ora ora ora ora~"
At this moment, Jiangnan's hands moved so fast they became blurs, using his stored resentment points to exchange for Da Li to make chum.
For one thousand resentment points, he could exchange one barrel of Da Li 2.0. Jiangnan spent a full eighty million resentment points making chum, and the water at the chum spot had even become a bit lighter.
Still, nothing was happening in the river.
Youming's mouth twitched:
(￢﹏≠٥) "No fish today. Maybe we should just forget it. Wait until our purification plant is built, and use the purified stuff for chum. Watching you do this... it hurts my heart."
Jiangnan gritted his teeth: (งᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)ง⁼³₌₃ "Pfft! We anglers never go home empty-handed! No matter what, I'm fishing something up today!"
If he gave up now, wouldn't his eighty million resentment points be wasted?
This time, Jiangnan not only dumped Da Li for chum but also poured bowl after bowl of Chicken Soup for the Soul into the river.
In the blink of an eye, he had spent over a hundred million resentment points, and even two Human-Forming Grass rewards had come out, but there was still no movement in the river.
This wasn't right.
Was the Minghe Koi asleep, or was it not in three-dimensional space?
Or was it that Qing Ke's luck was too strong, and fate was protecting her, not letting the fish eat her?
Jiangnan's face darkened. He was about to pull Qing Ke up and go down himself.
At that moment, Qing Ke was still persistently pouring Da Li and Chicken Soup into the Styx, silently praying in her heart.
(ʃƪོ≥﹏≤)
Heavens above, please let that fish come out soon. Qing Ke already lost at rock-paper-scissors. She really couldn't mess up this time.
Otherwise, the Jiang Devil would definitely beat her into a fat ball.
As if Qing Ke's prayer had worked, the originally turbulent river suddenly stirred.
An incredibly dazzling golden light burst forth from the depths of the riverbed. Its brightness rivaled Xiao Chuihuo's Thermal Core Genesis, as if all the stars in an entire galaxy combined couldn't be this bright.
Qian Benying immediately covered her eyes.
Σ(*口*|||) "Ahhh! My eyes! I can't see! I can't see anything!"
No one could see what was happening.
A giant whirlpool appeared on the river surface, like a black hole that seemed to devour everything, stretching endlessly into the distance.
Looking down, it was pitch black.
Zhong Yingxue exclaimed in horror: (☍口⁰。) "Wh...what is that?"
Jiangnan's eyes widened: (ଵ︿ଵ|||) "Fish mouth!"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
(´ﾟωﾟ) *Mouth?*
Are you kidding me?
Such a huge mouth? Its range had already encompassed Jiangnan and the others, even including the Ming He Death Star.
The massive Ming He Death Star was as small as a speck of dust in front of such an abyssal maw.
Youming's eyes popped: "Holy shit! It's coming!"
Now he had to act whether he wanted to or not. If that thing took a bite, Ming He Death Prison would be gone.
"Minghe Divine King! Rise!"
In an instant, Youming directly mobilized his power. Endless Styx water converged, forming a super colossal Minghe Divine King.
He even absorbed the Da Li Jiangnan had used for chum, making everything even brighter.
There was no other choice. If he didn't do this, he couldn't resist the bald-headed form of the Minghe Koi.
The Minghe Divine King's giant hand reached down, grabbed the Ming He Death Star like a baseball, and with a mighty throw, hurled it away.
The battered Ming He Death Star skipped across the Styx like a stone. Even under the protection of Styx energy, it was still tossed around and looked even more broken.
Then the Minghe Divine King quickly grabbed Jiangnan and the others, rescuing them.
The Minghe Koi had already burst through the water surface, swallowing everything as its huge mouth slammed shut.
It even devoured the arm of the Minghe Divine King. Then, its fish head swung, crashing heavily into the Divine King's chest.
With a "Boom," ferocious energy ripples spread. The colossal Minghe Divine King was sent flying like a cannonball, kicking up monstrous waves on the river.
Jiangnan and the others, who had narrowly escaped from the fish's mouth, finally got a partial view of the Minghe Koi's body.
It was still over a thousand light-hours in size, its scales emitting a seven-colored radiance. Because it had drunk too much Da Li, the whole crucian carp's body was bulging with muscles, as if it had transformed into a muscle-bound demon fish.
And the scales on its head had also fallen off, radiating unparalleled brilliance.
No matter how many times one saw the Minghe Koi, the sheer scale of it was still awe-inspiring.
The only life form Jiangnan had seen larger than it was the Qing Er from the Shennong Star Domain. Aside from that, no other life could compare.
But now, although the Minghe Koi seemed a bit excited, overall it looked sick and lacking in spirit.
At this moment, Zhong Yingxue, Xia Yao, and the others were all stunned.
(꒪ͦ口꒪ͦ|||(꒪ͦﾛ꒪ͦ|||(°△°|||)
Th...this is that seven-colored big crucian carp?
Your adjectives really are spot on!
It's way too big!
Is this thing even something you can tame?
Qian Benying's face was as white as paper:
(‧̣̥̇☍﹏⁰) "If I had known this was the fish you wanted to catch, I never would have come. I really was fooled by you."
Xing Cheng was already drooling:
٩(º﹃º٩) "Hehe~ Big fish! Eat big fish! Iron plate crucian carp tastes good~ Hehehe~"
Everyone's mouths twitched. She's still thinking about eating it? Cheng Bao is truly fearless.
Given the size of the seven-colored big crucian, it could eat ten Cheng Baos for one meal and still not have a proper snack.
Wang Youzhi snickered darkly:
(๑՞̫՞) "Little brother D! It's your turn! Go for it! Aren't you going to tame it? Let's see your performance~"
Jiangnan was about to speak when he suddenly remembered something.
Σ(°ー°〃) "Wait! Where's Qing Ke?"
Everyone froze, turning to look at the Ming He Death Star. The fishing line over there had already snapped.
They couldn't help but look toward the Minghe Koi's huge mouth...
Oh no!
