Chapter 194 Human Nature

With the three men working together, the raft steadily carried them, moving slowly and steadily toward the center of the lake. While the speed wasn't particularly fast, it was remarkably safe and stable. Occasionally, a few red snapper fish would lightly collide with the raft, only lazily wagging their tails without any overreaction. Clearly, the red snapper fish had no interest in this object, devoid of any trace of spiritual energy.

On the other side of the lake, the five people who had been tightly entangled by the school of red snakehead fish finally managed to retreat about 20 to 30 meters after a difficult struggle. They looked extremely embarrassed at this moment.

Some had tattered clothing, some had expressions of terror on their faces, and some were even wounded. Even Yang Fan, who appeared to have a high level of cultivation, was not spared, suffering minor injuries. Faced with this massive group of red snakehead fish, unafraid of their attacks, even those with extraordinary skills and the ability to pierce the heavens and penetrate the earth, ultimately had no choice but to retreat in disgrace.

"It's horrible! These red snakehead fish are so ferocious. Their teeth are so sharp. I was bitten once, and they tore off a piece of flesh from my calf!"

A man with a face as pale as paper spoke with trembling lips, his eyes fixed on the red-bellied fish that were still jumping around not far away, his face full of fear and dread.

"Senior Brother Yang, what should we do now? There is no way we can get through this level!" At this time, Sister Qing was standing huddled behind a few people, keeping as far away as possible from the ferocious red-bellied fish on the shore.

When she first arrived at the lakeshore, she looked ethereal and otherworldly. However, at this moment, she had lost her former charm and looked extremely disheveled.

Just when she was dodging the crazy attack of the red-bellied fish, she fell heavily several times in succession. Not only that, her thighs, arms and other parts of her body were also unfortunately bitten fiercely by the red-bellied fish, leaving shocking wounds.

She no longer looked like a fairy; she was nothing more than a pitiful little beggar. From time to time, she would reach out and gently touch the wounds that were still throbbing with pain. Her heart was filled with fear. Even if she had a hundred times the courage, she would never dare to take even a small step forward.

"Yeah, these guys are too difficult to deal with. I was planning to hide in the air just now, but it seems that there is a ban here, and I can't take off. This completely blocks our way through!"

Someone took over and said that he was quite depressed about this. He had originally planned to dodge in mid-air, but he didn't expect that just as his body left the ground, he was slammed to the ground by a force. He was caught off guard and almost drowned by the surging school of fish. It could be said that he had escaped death.

However, just as everyone was still immersed in the thrilling scene, someone suddenly shouted at the top of their lungs, "Something's wrong! Look, aren't there several figures standing over the center of the lake?"

This sudden cry, like a thunderbolt piercing the sky, instantly captured everyone's attention. They all looked in the direction his finger pointed, and one after another, expressions of extreme astonishment appeared on their faces.

"Oh my God! Who are those three people? Why are there so many vicious red-bellied fish around but none of them dare to attack them?" One of them muttered to himself with a look of suspicion on his face.

Another person's eyes widened in disbelief. "No way? Then why were we so badly chased by those red snakehead fish just now? Could it be that they're selectively picking on the weak?"

Some were even more furious and started cursing: "Oh my god! Do these damn fish know how to discriminate? Why are they so determined to kill us, yet they turn a blind eye and don't care about those three people? Could it be that they are truly in love?"

Several people were filled with indignation. After having just experienced the danger, they now saw others getting through so easily. Those with a slightly worse mentality wanted to curse directly.

"Everyone in front, I am from the Yang family of Xingyuan Country. May I ask why these red-bellied fish don't attack you?" Yang Fan's face darkened, and his voice spread with a literary aura and reached the ears of Gu Yunzhou and others.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chenxu didn't stop moving his hands. He continued to push the boat forward with all his might, turned his head and glanced at the people on the lakeshore behind him. Then he responded, "Oh, so you are from the Yang family. I felt that you looked familiar!"

Meanwhile, Jiang Liunian was also straining his oars with all his might. Since he lacked the support of his own spiritual energy, even with his best efforts, it still seemed quite strenuous. In this way, they painstakingly glided from the lakeshore to the center, which took almost ten minutes.

At this time, Gu Yunzhou slowly said: "This matter is not a problem. By the time they arrive, we will have already successfully passed this level. As for whether we can meet them in the next level, it can only be said that it is still unknown!" Obviously, Gu Yunzhou did not care about Jiang Liunian telling the other party this method.

"Well, they are lucky to have met us, otherwise they could only sigh in despair!" Zhu Chenxu chuckled and was about to speak when suddenly a sword shot towards them from the direction of the lakeshore.

Gu Yunzhou was quick-witted and swift-handed, sliding the raft to change direction and barely avoiding the attack. However, with the appearance of Wen Ji, the red-bellied fish that had been quietly pretending to be dead suddenly became active, and all the nearby fish gathered in the direction where Wen Ji landed.

For a moment, even the raft carrying Gu Yunzhou and his companions was driven by the school of fish and moved several meters forward. Fortunately, they quickly used wooden boards to adjust the direction, so as to avoid being overturned by the fanatical school of fish.

After the raft finally stabilized, Zhu Chenxu was so angry that his face flushed red, his chest heaving violently. He shouted at the lakeshore in a rage, "Are you sick? Why are you attacking us for no reason?"

Unfortunately, fearing further trouble, they dared not use their inner spiritual energy to amplify their shouts. Even though Zhu Chenxu had yelled until his voice was hoarse and his face flushed, the sounds that reached the ears of the people on the shore were still just muffled. Even so, these roars were enough for the other party to hear roughly.
