Chapter 458: Eating for Nothing? (Bonus Chapter)
Glasses-brother and the others were going crazy. No, they were already crazy!
What kind of crappy slippers were these? Their hands wouldn't obey them at all!
It was like they’d eaten some crazy gum that wouldn’t let them stop! They couldn’t shake them off, and there was no road ahead!
[From Glasses-brother: Resentment Value +1000!]
[From Du Yue...]
[From Yu Qingqing...]
At this moment, Glasses-brother had a flash of inspiration and quickly dropped his legs to brake!
But even plowing two furrows into the ground didn’t stop him—his hands were digging too fiercely!
He tried several times to stand up, thinking that if his hands left the ground, the affliction would stop!
But unfortunately, his legs couldn’t keep up with the speed of his hands!
The moment he tried to stand, his hands would dig forward again!
Under the horrified gazes of Zhong Yingxue and the others, Glasses-brother charged upside down into the lake!
Lying flat on the water, his hands paddled like propellers, sending splashes dozens of meters high!
He shot across the water like a speedboat, astonishingly fast!
“Gulp gulp gulp… cough! Glug glug glug~”
[From Glasses-brother: Resentment Value +1000!]
Not just Glasses-brother—all those upside-down sprinting volunteer spirit warriors, filled with resentment, transformed into speedboats, tearing across the lake!
First there was the light-footed water-walking skill, now there were speedboats racing on the surface!
Everywhere they passed, sprays of water rose, leaving rainbows in their wake!
Resentment values were being maxed out!
The scene… tsk~
Zhong Yingxue and the others were stunned!
What the heck was going on? Were those things that just rushed past… even human?
Just then, Jiangnan came strolling out of the woods, humming a tune!
And then he saw Qin Shou—Glasses-brother and the others racing across the water!
His eyes nearly popped out!
Today was full of surprises. The Extreme-Speed Slippers were amphibious?
Awesome!
Lightness skill walking on water? Jiangnan’s face showed a look of eager anticipation!
“Snowy, Wolfbane! Xiong Da, Xiong Er! Get on the pot and sit tight!”
The three of them and the bear were still in a daze, but they obediently sat down on the iron pot!
Jiangnan raised his hand and flung out two Void Chains, tying them to the pot’s handles!
Then, amid a series of startled cries, Jiangnan pulled the two iron pots racing across the water!
The pots skipped across the surface like stones skimming water!
Xia Yao’s pretty face flushed with excitement: “Hey~ iron pot surfing? Isn’t this way too thrilling? Haha!”
Zhong Yingxue clung to the pot in fear, eyes shut tight! She didn’t dare look!
On the shore, the white-furred gorilla grinned, waving at the group as if saying goodbye!
Xiong Er: ヾ(◍°㉨°◍)ﾉﾞ
He waved goodbye too to his little gorilla brothers!
Jiangnan sped up even more!
The feeling of racing across the water was just too awesome!
Totally different from land!
Wait!
The Extreme-Speed Slippers only stop when the soles wear through, right?
On land, there was a chance to wear them out, but in the water, your feet would swell up before the soles ever wore through!
Mom!
It looked like I’d created a bunch more perpetual motion machines!
Jiangnan’s little face turned pale instantly!
What now?
He’d been too hasty!
He himself was fine, but what about Qin Shou and the others?
Wouldn’t they get lost?
And this was Thousand Islands Lake—the lake was far more dangerous than the islands!
“Hey, Xiao Nan? Why is your face so white? Is the lake water too cold for your feet?”
“Hurry up and stop! If your feet stay cold too long, you’ll get sick and wet the bed at night!”
Jiangnan had a crying face: I want to stop too, but the conditions won’t let me!
At that moment, all the volunteers and spirit warriors were swimming wildly in the lake!
Since they couldn’t stop, they even planned to swim straight back to Apple Island base!
Watching Jiangnan drag two iron pots racing across the water, everyone was speechless!
Sure enough! No matter when, Jiangnan was always so flashy!
The fleet of speedboats charged toward Apple Island, and everyone suddenly felt the spiritual energy around them on the lake surge!
They wondered, what now?
Just then, Xia Yao sniffed and her expression changed drastically: “Xiao Nan! Not good! There’s…”
“Boom!”
Water splashed everywhere, white waves rose, and a deep abyssal maw broke through the surface!
Breathing out a stinking wind, fangs bared, it bit down!
As Qin Shou ran: “Hmm? Why did the sky get dark?”
“Chomp!”
The abyssal maw snapped shut! A Mosasaurus beast nearly 30 meters long leaped out of the water and crashed back into the lake!
Raising waves several meters high, it swallowed Qin Shou!
Platinum Three?
Everyone’s faces turned pale! They swam like mad!
A Platinum Three Mosasaurus? Are you kidding me?
The lake was its domain—an absolute aquatic overlord!
At that moment, everyone swimming in the lake was no different from small bait!
Jiangnan: !!!
He let go of the iron pot, teleported into the air, and looked far into the distance!
He spotted an island about 20 meters across a few nautical miles away!
He roared: “Everyone spread out! There’s a small island at seven o’clock! Get off the lake first!”
With that, he teleported and disappeared!
Just as everyone was wondering where Jiangnan had gone, three seconds later!
Jiangnan appeared high in the air, carrying a drenched Qin Shou whose face was white with fear!
He’d actually pulled Qin Shou out of the Mosasaurus’s throat!
The Mosasaurus had a huge space inside its mouth, so teleporting in wasn’t a big problem!
“Get to the island first! Rub your feet against the rocks until the soles wear through! Do donuts in place! When the soles wear out, you’ll stop!”
At that moment, everyone rushed toward the small island!
Seeing the situation turn bad, Xia Yao jumped directly into the water, paddling like a little wolf, pushing the iron pot forward!
Wu Liang and Xiong Er also paddled frantically!
“Isn’t this the Mosasaurus that swallowed our ‘Lang Li Ge Lang’?”
“It’s Platinum Three now? It grew faster than Xiong Er? How?”
“Back when Thousand Islands Lake was still a Silver-ranked spirit ruin, this thing was already Gold! And what’s with all the spiritual energy around it?”
The three people and the bear exchanged glances, their faces full of horror!
Had this thing swallowed a Spirit Core fragment?
At that moment, Jiangnan was spinning around on the water. The Mosasaurus had submerged, and he couldn’t find it!
Meanwhile, the spirit warrior volunteers were frantically swimming on the surface!
Their faces were white with fear!
Some had already reached the island, put rocks on their heads, and were frantically rubbing their feet against the ground in place!
Sparks flew, white smoke billowed, and even flames burst out from under their feet!
Others were rubbing their heads against the ground, or doing handstands against the wall and rubbing their soles!
The rock that made up the small island was incredibly hard.
But with so many people, the island trembled under their stomping! White smoke rose everywhere, sparks flew—if you didn’t know better, you’d think the island was on fire!
The whole island shook! Ripples spread outward from the black island’s center!
Suddenly!
A thousand meters away, the Mosasaurus burst out of the water again, and with a *chomp*, it swallowed Tang Lulu!
Jiangnan teleported again!
Three seconds later, he pulled Tang Lulu out too!
The Mosasaurus kept breaching the water, swallowing spirit warriors!
Like a tiger shark chasing a school of sardines!
But without exception, Jiangnan pulled them all out, not a single one was eaten!
Mosasaurus: (ꐦᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)
I just want a meal!
I’ve already got it in my mouth, and you have to fish it out?
More than a dozen times already! Have you no end?
Am I eating for nothing?
The most infuriating part is, you fish them out, fine!
But you also spit in my mouth!
Even though I’m not human, you’re really a dog!
The Mosasaurus got furious!
It leaped out of the water, aimed at Jiangnan, measured the distance, opened its huge maw, and bit down!
Jiangnan grinned!
“Water Style: Fire Hydrant Technique!”
A Space Wormhole opened right in front of him!
One end in front of him, the other 500 meters deep below the lake surface!
Due to the immense water pressure at the bottom, the water jet from the Space Wormhole was incredibly powerful!
It shot straight into the Mosasaurus’s throat!
“Gler gler gler gler~ gulp gulp gulp!”
Mosasaurus: !!!
