The Game with Fairies-Chapter 286

Li Muyang opened his eyes in the small river channel filled with light green water plants and once again found himself hiding in this familiar spot.

Above his head, through the water’s surface, came the clear and rhythmic reading voices of the children from the private school.

Hearing those crisp and pleasant voices of the children, Li Muyang paused for a moment.

“Back here again?”

Why am I respawning in the same familiar place after logging in?

Could this spot be a respawn point?

He clearly remembered that when he logged off, he had already moved far from this location.

Li Muyang swam along the current out of the small river channel, joining the larger river outside, then retraced his path, entering the turbulent river outside the city.

He had nearly eaten all the larger fish and shrimp in the vicinity, so Li Muyang, with his two-zhang-long body, swam downstream to carve out new hunting grounds.

A two-zhang-long Flood Dragon was already a force to be reckoned with in the river, but there were still creatures in the deep waterways that matched his size.

Li Muyang launched attacks on these similarly large fish and shrimp, his ability to control water and his potent toxins making him almost invincible.

Almost every time he found a hunting target, he was successful in the kill.

But even so, Li Muyang remained cautious.

He had noticed something after entering the second act: the game had somehow removed the save function.

No saving and loading… had it become real-time processing?

Li Muyang speculated about the nature of the game while carefully selecting his hunting targets, trying not to provoke those that were too powerful.

In this river, it was like a hidden dragon lying in wait, not only were there large fish, shrimp, and old turtles, but also some eerie and peculiar creatures.

There was a creature covered in green fur, swimming through the water like a monkey, emanating a sinister and ominous aura.

The moment Li Muyang spotted this creature, a new monster was unlocked in his hunting compendium.

With a blue card face, the name in the system’s bestiary was 【Water Monkey】.

Despite its small size, it was not something Li Muyang dared to provoke lightly.

There was also a strange creature with long hair trailing behind it as it swam, resembling the legendary flying head monster.

But the human face was a disguise; its real mouthparts were located at the back of its head.

It too had a blue card face, and its name in the system’s illustration was 【Gui Fish】.

He encountered these two bizarre creatures in the turbulent river, somewhat away from human towns.

Li Muyang gained a profound understanding of the diversity of species in this river.

“Such an abstract appearance, definitely not something good.”

He lay in ambush among the river weeds in a bend of the river, watching as the Gui Fish with a human-like head entangled and killed an old turtle.

The Gui Fish’s hair-like appendages could freely move in the water, wriggling and entwining like tentacles, so much so that even after the turtle retracted its head into its shell, it was still pierced like a hedgehog by the Gui Fish’s sharp hair.

Li Muyang had planned to watch the Gui Fish leave. It was too bizzare in appearance and quite repulsive to look at.

However, after killing the turtle, the Gui Fish dragged the corpse toward the patch of river weeds where Li Muyang was hiding.

It dropped the turtle’s body on the riverbed, and its sharp mouthparts emerged from the “back of its head,” viciously piercing the turtle’s body and beginning to suck its flesh and blood.

Li Muyang, hiding in the weeds, was less than five zhang away.

Seeing this, Li Muyang immediately held his breath.

He didn’t plan to kill, but if the creature came to him, that was a different matter.

At such a close distance, combined with the Flood Dragon’s deadly poison, he had enough to kill the creature before him.

But even with the perfect position, Li Muyang, lying in wait in the weeds, didn’t rush to attack. Instead, he patiently waited for the Gui Fish to feed.

According to Li Muyang’s limited biological knowledge, animals slow down after a heavy meal as a lot of blood is diverted to their stomachs, causing their bodily reactions to slow and their brains to become dull.

That would be the best moment to strike.

He wasn’t sure if the creature before him followed this biological principle, but he still lay in wait patiently, waiting for the Gui Fish to feed.

The longer it ate, the more relaxed its guard would become.

The river flowed, and the old turtle visibly shriveled as the Gui Fish sucked it dry.

The Gui Fish’s pale mouthparts, like those of an insect, had tremendous suction power, making the sight of its feeding somewhat unsettling.

When the Gui Fish had eaten about eighty percent of the turtle, Li Muyang lying in wait in the weeds suddenly sprang into action.

The cold water surged out like a sharp sword, turning into several ropes that ensnared the Gui Fish five zhang away.

At the same time, Li Muyang shot out from the weeds like an arrow released from a bow, reaching the Gui Fish in an instant.

The sharp venomous fangs of the Moon-Biting Dragon found a weak spot on the Gui Fish’s body.

Li Muyang had observed the creature feeding for a long time and had already identified where the flesh was most abundant.

The moment his fangs pierced the Gui Fish, Li Muyang furiously injected his venom into its body.

The ugly Gui Fish was suddenly attacked and let out a piercing scream underwater.

It thrashed wildly, its hair-like strands aiming for Li Muyang.

But Li Muyang struck true and did not linger in battle.

The moment he finished injecting the venom, he immediately moved his body, using the current to escape, not giving the Gui Fish’s hair a chance to pierce him.

In the blink of an eye, Li Muyang retreated to a safe distance of over ten zhang.

In the swift current, he looked back at the ugly Gui Fish.

It was howling pitifully, frantically chasing after him as if determined to fight to the death.

–This creature has quite the temper!

Li Muyang swam agilely in the water, watching the Gui Fish’s frantic pursuit.

But as it chased, the Gui Fish’s movements became stiffer and its swimming speed slowed.

Two minutes later, the Gui Fish with the long hair stopped moving and began to float to the surface, buoyed by the water.

Li Muyang cautiously observed for a while, controlling the water to test a few times, and after confirming that the creature was indeed dead, he swam over to its side.

He discovered that despite the creature’s long black hair, the flesh underneath was white and translucent, emitting an enticing fragrance.

Li Muyang bit into it and began to feed.

The continuous system notifications popping up in his field of vision surprised Li Muyang.

“This thing is so rich in nutrients!”

The experience gained from killing one Gui Fish was more than from killing ten fish or shrimp of the same size.

No wonder it was a blue card monster in the hunting compendium.

Realizing the generous experience it provided, Li Muyang’s gaze towards the river teeming with strange creatures changed.

Although those creatures were abstract, they were worth a lot of experience points!

Quickly chewing on the Gui Fish in the water, Li Muyang moved his body and left the area, searching for his next hunting target.
