Ye Fan's eyes lit up, and he quickly reeled in his line!
A few breaths later.
A faded bellyband hung limply on the fishhook, swaying gently in the breeze...
Ye Fan calmly removed the bellyband, tossed it onto the ground, and cast his line again.
It's just the beginning, I'm not in a hurry at all.
A few minutes later, the fishing line moved again!
He pulled the rod and reeled in the line.
A pair of oversized shorts hung on the fishhook.
Judging by the style, they were men's...
Ye Fan decisively threw down the fishing rod and took out a new one.
He didn't have the courage to touch that thing...
...
As time passed, the pile of things on the ground next to Ye Fan grew larger.
Clothes, weapons, and all sorts of other miscellaneous items, even several skeletons of humans or demonic beasts!
But not a single fish...
And this was the result after Ye Fan had moved his spot several times.
He wasn't sure if it was an illusion.
When the fish leaped out of the water, their gazes seemed to carry a hint of intense disdain as they looked at Ye Fan...
He looked at the strange fish frolicking in the water, then at the fishing rod in his hand.
Ye Fan's expression grew darker and darker...
Are you targeting me?
You're definitely targeting me, aren't you?!
I don't believe it!!!
Ye Fan took out a red pill from his ring and quickly hooked it onto the fishhook.
This was a pill specifically for demonic beasts that he had obtained from a system sign-in.
Putting aside its other effects, its smell was absolutely fatal to demonic beasts!
As expected.
As soon as the pill appeared, a large swarm of strange fish shot out of the water!
There were the same kinds Ye Fan had seen before, and some he hadn't.
Each one stared at the pill on the hook with shining eyes, their longing completely uncontainable!
"Let's see if you bite this time!" Ye Fan angrily cast the fishing rod down.
The strange fish, like hunters smelling blood, surged towards the hook in the water!
However, what happened next was a little different from what Ye Fan had imagined...
After a wave of strange fish rushed forward, there was no more movement, and the fishhook felt no weight.
Ye Fan numbly lifted the rod, and his expression became even more bewildered.
The hook was still there.
The pill had vanished...
A tumultuous storm raged within Ye Fan, and he mentally cycled through all the curse words in a hundred languages...
But the next moment, the previous wave of fish reappeared.
Each one gazed at Ye Fan expectantly, as if waiting for him to continue.
Even more outrageous was a strange fish with legs that waved its front limb at Ye Fan, as if to say: Come on, don't stop!
Ye Fan's heart churned again, and the curse words expanded to over a hundred – adding the languages of dragons, elves, goblins, and more!
This was absolutely unacceptable!
Ye Fan once again reached into his ring and pulled out another pill.
It was completely black and emitted a strange, peculiar odor...
That's right!
It was produced by the Second Elder!
A few minutes later.
Ye Fan sat on a small stool with a smile on his face.
On the lake, a group of strange fish lay belly-up, some of the long-legged ones, their small legs kicking helplessly...
Whether they were dead or not was unknown.
But judging by their vacant stares, they were definitely not normal...
Just then, footsteps approached from the side.
Ye Fan turned his head and saw Duan Beishan and his subordinate Duan Minggui!
"It's you!" Duan Beishan recognized Ye Fan at a glance.
He was someone close to the woman who had killed his brother!
That trash at the Nascent Soul stage!
"Have we met before?" Ye Fan was completely baffled.
"Good, very good!" Duan Beishan gritted his teeth: "Tell me where that woman is, and I might consider letting you suffer less!"
"Is there some misunderstanding here?" Ye Fan was full of questions: "I don't remember meeting you. Are you mistaken?"
Duan Beishan suppressed his anger and took out a blue bead.
He injected his true qi, and the previous scene reappeared.
"You killed him, my own brother!" Duan Beishan said, his eyes red. "I'll say it one last time, tell me where that woman is, and I might consider letting you suffer less!"
Ye Fan finally understood.
So it was the brother of that idiot coming for revenge...
"If you..." Ye Fan paused: "Honestly, I don't recommend you do this, really..."
Isn't it good to be alive?
Why seek death?
Please, stop fueling the damn system, okay?
I've really had enough...
"Since you insist on seeking death, I will fulfill your wish!"
Duan Beishan's rage could no longer be contained, and a terrifying surge of true qi erupted from his body!
Of course, Ye Fan couldn't feel any pressure.
At most, the wind was strong and quite refreshing!
It made him feel a bit more energetic!
"I'm being very serious," Ye Fan said helplessly. "If I were you, I'd leave here immediately, as far as possible!"
The response Ye Fan received was an attack shot by Duan Minggui.
"Pfft!"
A cyan magical technique instantly pierced Ye Fan's left arm, and blood and flesh exploded!
Ye Fan froze on the spot!
He even forgot the pain!
He reached out and touched it, looking at the blood on his hand, dazed...
I...
Am injured...?
Holy cow!
I'm really injured!!!
The damn system didn't pop up to stop it!!!
It seems this damn thing is truly offline!!!
An opportunity!!!
The next moment, excruciating pain surged through him!
Fortunately, even though he was now a mortal, he had sustained injuries frequently in the past.
His tolerance for pain was far beyond that of an ordinary mortal.
His current state was peculiar.
On one hand, there was intense pain, and on the other, he couldn't help but laugh maniacally in his heart.
Finally...
"Hahahahahahaha—!"
Ye Fan couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into wild laughter!
This day had finally come!
I'm finally going to be free!!!
As he laughed, the wound on his left arm continued to bleed profusely.
"Sizzle—!"
Perhaps due to the strong blood pressure, the spurting blood was almost like a sprinkler!
...
"It seems you've seen through it all!"
Ye Fan endured the pain, his face filled with extreme arrogance.
"That's right! That woman is my subordinate!"
"Everything before was arranged by me! Your brother was killed by me!"
"Not only will I kill him, but I'll kill you too!"
"Later, I'll dig up your ancestral grave and mix your ancestors' ashes with rice to feed to dogs!"
"How's that, are you angry?"
"If you're angry, hurry up and kill me, don't make me look down on you!"
The more he spoke, the more excited Ye Fan became.
I've said it to this extent, you absolutely can't tolerate it, right?!
Hurry up and act, don't be hesitant!!!
