God of Fishing

Chapter 404 Undead Merman

Under certain circumstances, bones could exist millions of years and turn into fossils, but obviously, the forsaken prison in the Undersea City did not meet the harsh requirements.

The creatures here were different from those in the sea. Regular bones couldn’t stand their biting at all and might become incomplete after several years. But why were the remaining bones here still intact? Han Fei was rather shocked.

Crossing the rotten threshold, Han Fei even ran to the bones and squeezed them. He found that the bones were rather hard. There was no telling whether it was because of long-time cultivation or for other reasons...

With confusion, Han Fei examined other prison cells. Molds and moss were everywhere on the wall because of the passage of time. Some mosses were even growing on the bones.

Passing hundreds of prison cells, Han Fei found that not every one of them had remaining bones. It might be related to the capabilities of the prisoners inside. When a catastrophe fell upon the city, nobody set them free, and some of them were caged and died in their cells.

After multiple turns, Han Fei found nothing special. He did not even spot any sea creatures.

“Hey, Mr. Hexagon Starfish, is there a place without any animals at the bottom of the

sea?”

Han Fei was rather puzzled as it didn’t make sense. This place might be secluded, but it was at the bottom of the sea. By common sense, there should at least be crabs even if there weren’t any fish or prawns.

Rolling its eyes, the Hexagon Starfish said, “I sense that this place is dangerous.”

“Dangerous?”

Han Fei frowned, not knowing what could possibly be dangerous about this place. He hadn’t seen one living creature yet.

Suddenly, Han Fei came to a stop after a turn.

It was a dead end. But after the turn, there was a channel that led downwards.

Raising the lights, Han Fei had a look around and walked down the stairs.

“Hula...”

When Han Fei was about to reach a lower level of the prison, he saw a pair of glittering eyes, and then a person flashed by.

“Who is it?”

Because it was too fast, Han Fei only caught that the man seemed to be much shorter than himself. Then, the man fled away in a weird posture, half running and half swimming. Th1s chapter is updated by n)ovel/\bin/\

Han Fei summoned his fishing pole and cast the hook. But after two turns, the creature simply disappeared.

“Huh? Is someone else here?”

The Hexagon Starfish spoke telepathically, Something here is very familiar.

“Familiar?”

Han Fei was lost for words. “Do you know anything in this place? You were caged in the regular fishery for three hundred years. Were you here when you were little?”

Rolling its big eyes, the Hexagon Starfish said, “I don’t know, but something here is just familiar...”

Han Fei recalled the fishing pole and summoned dozens of Blue Sea Wandering Dragon Daggers. If there were living creatures here, did they have any secrets?

He did not recklessly chase the stranger. Instead, he focused his attention on this level of the prison, which was better preserved than the upper one.

Going down the aisle, Han Fei came to a prison cell. The door of the cell was broken, and there was a skull inside.

Han Fei felt goosebumps all over his body. You could’ve kept the entirety of the body! Why did you only leave the skull? Where’s the rest of the body?

He was more and more uneasy. He had sensed that something was wrong since he came in.

He suddenly turned around, only to see nothing. His mind did not perceive anything either.

Going forward, Han Fei found that most prison cells were empty, and those which were not empty had nothing but a skull in them. The rest of the bodies were nowhere to be seen.

Han Fei’s lips cramped. Was there a monster here who had the habit of collection? Or was it a custom in this city to throw the heads of prisoners into prison cells after they were executed?

After a long time of exploration, Han Fei didn’t make any discoveries. He only found another passage that led downwards.

Damn it. How many levels does this prison have?

Han Fei suddenly shivered. Don’t tell me that this prison has eighteen levels, and I’ll see a pot of boiling oil down below. If so, I’ll go back right now...

This time, Han Fei saw another pair of eyes staring at him from a dark corner. He was rather crept out, but the eyes ran off after glancing at him.

But Han Fei stepped out and quickly came to the third level of the prison this time.

The moment he entered this level, he was embraced by a stinky wind. Instantly, he slashed out the dozens of Blue Sea Wandering Dragon Daggers. Controlling the Blue Sea Wandering Dragon Daggers and straightening them into a line, he cut the darkness.

Then, he heard clangs, and a weird shadow was waving its tail on the floor, fending off the Blue Sea Wandering Dragon Daggers.

“Lizard? Salamander? Serpent?”

Han Fei did not need to speculate anymore, because he had seen a head on the floor. He almost felt the urge to flee when he saw the hideous head.

To be more exact, it was a human-shaped head, with two holes on the part where the nose should’ve been, and sharp teeth all over the mouth. The creature also had two skinny hands.

This creature moved using those two hands. Apart from the web on those hands, they were exactly like the hands of an extremely slim man.

What shocked Han Fei most was the body of that creature, which looked like a fish and had a long tail behind.

At this moment, the creature bent its tail, revealing the sharp bone stings on it.

Data popped up in his eyes.

<Name> Undead Merman

<Introduction> This is the lowliest sea primate. It’s a regular merman that has evolved in the special environment. It has extraordinary sight, and its teeth are sharp enough to bite through mid-quality spiritual weapons.

<Quality> Exotic (Ultra-Quality)

<Quality> Mutated

<Spiritual Energy> 3,358 Points

<Effect> Inedible

<Collectible> None

<Unabsorbable>

Han Fei was immediately stunned. You call this a merman? It evolved from a regular merman? This is how it looks after a long time of evolution? Then how ugly must it have been before the evolution?

The Undead Merman jerked and bared the sharp claws on its hands. In the meantime, it opened its mouth widely as if it was going to swallow Han Fei alive.

BAM!

Han Fei exerted eighty percent of his strength and slapped it with his seal, because it was too ugly. He would be disgusted if the creature lunged at him! So, he simply slapped with the Water Dividing Seal without using the Blood Drinking Knife.

The Undead Merman rolled on the ground and crashed into a prison cell. Han Fei immediately followed, ready to attack again.

In the next moment, a human-shaped body was thrown to him, and Han Fei subconsciously slapped it apart with the seal.

What caught Han Fei’s attention was that this body had a tail too. It was more complete than other bodies, with everything from the skull to the pelvis.

But right below the pelvis, it was one long bone that was in many sections.

“Sweet mother of God. Is this a merman or a mermaid?”

Han Fei swallowed. Earlier, rumor had it that there were mermaids in the sea.

Han Fei had never seen any mermaids after roaming the sea for years, or he would’ve tried to marry one.

He felt that he had to update his knowledge now. It was possible that merman and mermaids did exist, except that they were not as beautiful as described.

At this point, the Undead Merman was staring at Han Fei in fright from a corner, gnarling and baring its crooked teeth at Han Fei. Han Fei was almost throwing up.

This Undead Merman had been paralyzed by Han Fei’s seal. Now, it could only crawl with its hands while it roared at Han Fei.

Han Fei looked at it in despite and hit it consecutively with the Water Dividing Seal until it was dead.

“You’re undead? You think you’re really undead when you have such an awesome name? Damn it. What is this place? Why are there mermen here?”“Hiss...”

The Hexagon Starfish warned, “Watch out.”

Han Fei waved the Blood Drinking Knife back, cutting another Undead Merman into two pieces.

He said awfully, “Is this s*ithole full of those things?” Now, Han Fei did not expect any treasures in this place. So, not every treasure trove contained opportunities...

When Han Fei walked out of the prison cell, he found several pairs of cold eyes gazing at him from the end of the passage. However, instead of charging at them, those creatures were gradually falling back.

Han Fei hesitated a moment. He looked back, but he eventually decided to push on because he was too curious about the merman. They hadn’t been completely transformed into fish, like Yang Ruoyun was; they were real mermen! What would he find at the end of this prison?

The Hexagon Starfish pulled Han Fei’s shoulder and asked, “Are you going on?”

Han Fei said, “I’m just taking a quick glance. I’ll leave after that.”
