Chapter 37 In the Boiling Mist Swamp, Silver Blades Rain Down

As soon as Old Man Jiang finished speaking, the waters ahead began to change drastically.

The billowing white fog seemed to rise abruptly from the ground here, completely covering the water surface for miles around, reducing visibility to less than ten feet.

The air was thick with the humid heat and the acrid smell of sulfur; with each breath, it felt as if one's lungs were swallowing burning coals. The water was turbid and churning, with countless fist-sized bubbles bursting and splashing scalding water.

Through the misty white fog, a faint dark red glow could be seen emanating from the depths of the riverbed; it was unclear whether it was submerged fire.

"This is the Boiling Mist Marsh!" Su Yu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. He never expected that there would be such a strange scene of water and fire merging deep in the Blackwater River.

Old Jiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and stroked his beard with a smug look on his face: "This place is extremely hard to find. To get here, you have to pass through four or five underwater currents. I was lucky to find this place back then."

Su Yu nodded, recalling the journey. If it weren't for Old Man Jiang's guidance, he really wouldn't have been able to get here; he would have easily gotten lost in the water.

Two small boats slowly made their way through the thick fog, heading deeper into the Boiling Fog Marsh.

Despite the constant sounds coming from underwater due to the dense fog, Old Man Jiang showed no intention of casting his net.

Su Yu didn't want to reveal his ability to discern locations by listening to the waves, so he continued walking with him.

Soon, the two boats arrived at an area where the thick fog had dissipated considerably, and the water temperature seemed to have returned to normal, with fewer boiling bubbles.

"Brother Su, this is where the warm and cold waters meet, so the catch is plentiful, and the view is good too. Let's fish around here!"

Su Yu, being experienced, naturally knew this, and the two of them picked up their fishing nets, looking for an opportunity to cast them.

Jiang Mu also took out a fishing net from the cabin, stood at the bow, and prepared to cast the net.

She glanced at Su Yu and said excitedly, "Hey, Su Yu, let's see who catches more fish! Don't be fooled by how good you were at catching that big crab; fishing requires experience!"

Su Yu was using Listening to the Waves to locate her, keeping his eyes fixed on the water's surface, but he didn't have time to pay attention to her, so he didn't reply.

Seeing that Su Yu ignored her, Jiang Mu ground her little tiger teeth in anger, secretly thinking, "Hmph, just wait until I catch a treasure fish, I'll slap it in your face and use its tail to beat you up!"

"Splash!"

Old Jiang cast his fishing net first, and it looked like he had caught a fish.

Jiang Mu's pretty face immediately broke into a smile, revealing her signature little tiger teeth. "Grandpa is so amazing!"

Before long, the fishing net was pulled onto the boat, containing three red oilfish, each weighing four or five pounds.

"Haha, a great start, not bad!" Old Jiang grinned, his face crinkling with wrinkles. This single net cast had yielded a catch of five or six hundred coins, something most fishermen couldn't achieve.

On the other side, Jiang Mu also made frequent attempts. Although he didn't catch any big fish, he caught quite a few yellowfin fish and was so happy that he danced with joy.

Su Yu, however, sat calmly at the bow of the boat, letting the small boat drift with the current, without casting a net.

Seeing this, Jiang Mu couldn't help but say proudly, "Hey, Su boy, did you just get lucky with that Iron Bone Shuttle? How come you can't catch a single fish now? Look at how many I've caught."

Su Yu ignored him.

He naturally noticed the fish below, but they were all ordinary fish and not worth his time.

His current goal is at least rare fish, or even precious fish!

However, perhaps he had used up all his luck upon arriving at the Blackwater River. Several hours passed, and in this place rich in fish, Su Yu did not encounter a single rare fish.

Moreover, after staring at the water's surface and using the "listening to the waves to locate the source" technique, I felt somewhat mentally exhausted.

Just as he was about to reel in his fishing net and take a break, that familiar, mysterious feeling suddenly returned, and this time the sensation surprised him greatly.

A scorching heat was rushing towards them from more than ten meters underwater.

But that's not the point.

To Su Yu's shock and confusion, behind that red aura, hundreds and thousands of silver light spots were sweeping in at an astonishing speed, like an underwater meteor shower!

"What...is that?!"

"Are they all rare fish?"

Just as Su Yu was filled with doubt and surprise, Jiang Mu suddenly shouted:

"Ha! A big fish!"

As luck would have it, her net caught the large red fish that was fleeing in panic.

The net rope in his hand snapped straight instantly, even making a creaking sound.

Before she could even feel happy, a tremendous force came from underwater, as if it had caught a wild bull in a net!

"Splash!"

The giant waves surged, and before Jiang Mu could even cry out, she was pulled directly into the water by that strange force!

"Xiao Mu!"

Old Man Jiang was terrified and threw down his fishing net to save the man.

"puff!"

Jiang Mu gracefully treaded water, popping her head out of the waves. She was soaking wet, her hair plastered to her face, but she showed no sign of panic; instead, she smiled brightly, revealing two small tiger teeth.

"Grandpa, don't move! It's a giant red carp! I'm going to deal with it myself!"

When Old Man Jiang saw that she was alright, his expression relaxed and he nodded indulgently.

It seems they're not afraid the big fish will escape; they're really letting their granddaughter give it a try.

Su Yu's attention remained focused on the rapidly approaching silver light spot. He spread out his fishing net, preparing to catch a large one.

In the water, Jiang Mu struggled with the big fish for a while, and soon became panting heavily. "Grandpa, this fish is so strong!"

Old Jiang chuckled and said, "It's alright. This fish is only strong; it's not dangerous. Just make sure it doesn't bump into you. Here, take the harpoon and give it a good whack!"

"Alright!" Jiang Mu took the speargun and dived back into the water, the two of them creating a lot of waves underwater.

coming!

Su Yu's heart stirred, and he could see a huge wave surging in the distance.

"There are schools of fish!"

He offered a word of reminder.

Old Jiang spotted the school of fish immediately, his face lighting up with joy. He turned around, grabbed his fishing net, and prepared to cast it to catch them.

But the next moment, a terrifying scene unfolded.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Countless flat, slender silver fish burst from the water, their sides sprouting transparent wings as they glided rapidly at a low altitude of about a meter above the surface. Their silver scales shimmered coldly in the sunlight, making each fish resemble a flying willow-leaf dagger!

A yellowfin fish leaping out of the water unfortunately blocked the way.

"laugh!"

Without any obstruction, the yellow-scaled fish was instantly smashed to pieces by several silver fish, turning into a rain of blood and minced flesh!

"Oh no! It's a school of silver knife fish!"

Old Man Jiang's face turned deathly pale instantly, and he roared, "Xiao Mu! Get up here now!"

He could no longer care about anything else and jumped into the water to save his granddaughter who was still struggling with the red carp.

Seeing the formidable power of the silver knife fish, Su Yu immediately sensed danger. There was nowhere to hide now, so he could only confront them head-on.

He is a martial artist who has mastered the three-step barrier; he is not that fragile. As long as he protects his vital points, he will be fine.

He quickly threw out the fishing net in his hand. This wire net could even hold its own against the treasure fish, so it was highly unlikely that this group of silver knife fish could tear it apart.

With one cast of his net, a saury several dozen feet ahead was precisely caught in the net.

"Knock knock knock knock!"

A series of loud crashing sounds rang out, and like raindrops pattering on banana leaves, numerous silver knife fish fell into the water like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

However, soon more saury surged in.

"Splash!"

At this moment, Old Man Jiang and his companion surfaced.

Holding a harpoon in one hand and Jiang Mu with the other, he didn't return to his own boat, but instead rushed directly onto Su Yu's boat.

"Brother Su, please help!"
