8 Chapter 8: Last Challenge in Iron Fishing Village
Inside of Yi Xiang's room
"Mom, will you be lonely after I go to Night Moon city?" Yi Xiang asked his mom
"Silly kid, of course I will be lonely, but you should go and fulfill your dream, I have your dad with me, when you have a holiday or if you feel you miss home, feel free to come home son" Ye Ling replied
"Son, you should recover within 3 more days from now on, I will complete your equipment before the fifth day, and you should be ready to go on the seventh day" Yi Xiong said
"Yes Father, how about the Giant pearl we got from the hunt, can you make any equipment with it?" Yi Xiang asked in curious
Yi Xiong replied "No, you should sell it together with Uncle Eh group when you reached Night Moon city together with them, those giant pearls can only be used for luxury accessories, it can make your armor shines and looked extravagant a little bit, but bandits will chase your life when they see your armor was made from the giant pearl"
Yi Xiong threw a spatial ring into Yi Xiang and said: "I have acquired all the materials I needed from your spatial ring the day you arrived here, I heard you want to use the remaining material, it is all there with the giant pearl inside, after selling two of the giant pearl, please invest it well"
"Are you sure dad? why don't you take the money for yourself" Yi Xiang asked in curiosity
"No, in my life, I just need a small amount of money to sustain alive, but my motivation in this life is you and your mom, as long she is here, I already have everything. Do not ask anymore, just invest the money well so when we go to travel outside of Iron Fishing Village, you can let us enjoy our life" Yi Xiong said
"Okay father, I will not disappoint you!" Yi Xiang said with determination
Three days later, Iron Fishing Village
After recovering almost completely
Yi Xiang is now able to move his muscle freely and able to start living a normal life
"Mom, dad, I go first" Yi Xiang said while leaving his house in a rush
He heads into the beach and gets into the small fishing boat and he goes quite far into the open ocean
He stops after he sees that he is currently above the giant coral reef, the water is too clean here and he can see many-coloured coral reef beneath him
He said to himself as he puts out the entire water ghoul corpse into his fishing boat "The wave today is not aggressive, this is the perfect moment to fish that damn fish"
Although he has all the water ghoul corpses, all of the corpses do not have its claw and teeth anymore because Yi Xiong took them to make something from it, Yi Xiong also took some of the Water Ghoul skin from the corpses owned by Yi Xiang
After putting out all the water ghoul corpses into the boat, he slowly throws the corpses one by one into the open sea
After he threw the twelve corpses (so he has one left remain)
The wave started to change a bit, it slightly becomes more aggressive, and one of the water ghoul corpses that has been thrown into the sea bit by a creature and torn apart
"This time, I will get you Iron teeth Barracuda!" Yi Xiang said with amazement
Iron teeth Barracuda is fish that lives only around Iron Fishing Village, it is grey coloured fish, with the length 3 times longer than normal barracuda and 5 times thicker/fatter than normal barracuda, what terrifying about this fish is its sharp teeth that can easily cut through flesh and skin
In Iron Fishing Village, there is a tradition where any males who can catch Iron teeth barracuda will be considered as an adult. And for any males who want to marry and build a family in Iron Fishing Village, this is prerequisite!
Iron-teeth Barracuda has started to take the sixth corpses that Yi Xiang threw into the sea
At this moment, Yi Xiang is tying the last remaining water ghoul corpses into his fishing hook as bait and cast his fishing pole out
After finished devouring the sixth corpse, it bites the bait from Yi Xiang fishing pole!
"Ahh, the strength is too strong!" Yi Xiang said with shock
The fishing line from Iron Fishing village is indeed extraordinary
It is made from Sea iron ore that has been melt and reshaped it into a fishing line
Although it has great resistance, it will not hold out long when facing Iron-teeth Barracuda
That is why the tradition is set on Iron-teeth Barracuda as a passing mark
Yi Xiang really needs to hurry!
"AH Goddamn it" Yi Xiang said with rage, he then put the fishing pole into the fishing pole hanger on the fishing boat and put out a normal crossbow and normal arrow from his spatial ring
The Iron teeth Barracuda struggle has made Yi Xiang fishing boat to move into a chaotic direction
At this moment, Yi Xiang tried his best to remain calm and keep on aiming Iron-teeth Barracuda with extended great focus
Ssuuttt!
The arrow has been unleashed from the crossbow
It missed!
Although it missed, Yi Xiang remains calm as he also does not expect to hit Iron-teeth Barracuda on his first try!
Ssuuttt!
Ssuuttt!
Ssuuttt!
Three more arrows have been unleashed and they did not hit the Iron-teeth Barracuda
The line is going to break anytime soon!
Yi Xiang reloaded his arrow and at this moment he sees a black coloured fish like figure currently camouflaging and blend his figure with the corals and rocks around
Yi Xiang smiles and he waits for Iron Teeth Barracuda that took his bait to go near that Black coloured fish-like figure
Ssuuttt!
The arrow pierced through the water and this time it hits the target!
However, the piercing arrow did not hit the Iron-teeth Barracuda, but the black coloured fish like figure!
The Black coloured fish like figure struggled and its head is now bleeding as Yi Xiang's arrow hit him into its forehead. Upon its death struggle, it unleashed a blue electrical wave within 5 meters radius around itself
Bzzztttt!!! Bzzztttt!!!
A fish like figure that is able to unleash an electrical wave
Black coloured, and its size is half of the size of Iron-teeth Barracuda, so does its length
Hides, camouflages, and waiting for its prey to come nearby then stun its prey using electricity wave
It is the one and only Electrical Reef Eel!
The electric wave hit the passing Iron-teeth Barracuda and stunned it
Seeing a perfect chance like this, Yi Xiang quickly reload its crossbow and quickly aims into Iron teeth Barracuda
"IMADA!!" Yi Xiang shouted and shot his arrow
(Imada means "now")
Cruttt!
The arrow hits Iron teeth Barracuda tail easily and it pierces into its tail flesh
Although Iron teeth Barracuda has its teeth as hard as an iron, but its body is nowhere near!
The Iron teeth Barracuda is now hopeless as it was stunned and having its tail heavily injured by the arrow
Yi Xiang quickly grabbed his fishing pole from the hanger and pulled the Iron teeth Barracuda
After he has landed Iron teeth Barracuda into his fishing boat, he did not stop there
He dived into the sea and took the Electrical Reef Eel dead body with him
When he surfaced, he said to himself: "Well, not only I passed this trial, I even get a bonus, Dad should be able to forge me an electric/lightning attribute weapon for me with this"
Yi Xiang then returned into his boat and head back into Iron Fishing Village
