Chapter 212: Chapter 208: The Captive Is Defiant
When the mist over Jiangxin Island dissipated, its true appearance erged. Ancient trees stood tall, wild and primitive, dense forests stretching into the distance, presenting the scene of a primordial deserted island.
The Jiangxin Island Bridge was the main battlefield where the Celestial Net clashed with the Fishn.
Approximately two to three thousand Fishn were eliminated nearby. The Celestial Net’s logistics departnt quickly moved in to clean up the battlefield, stripping the Fishn bare, piling them into small mountains on the open ground.
Hang Yu arrived here not long after.
The Spirit-Gathering Golden Lotus in his arms beca hot and warm.
A considerable amount of Spiritual Qi could be extracted from the Fishn’s bodies.
Fishn had no way to collect materials, eliminating the worry of being discovered.
Moreover, the souls of the Intelligent Subspecies were much stronger than those of creatures like the Giant Ant Monsters.
Hang Yu’s Summoning Talisman was absorbing soul aura frantically, and the harvest of Soul Qi would definitely be very gratifying, providing additional benefits that made one very satisfied.
He wouldn’t hesitate to seize the benefits within his reach.
Even if he didn’t collect this abundance of Spiritual and Soul Qi, it would eventually dissipate into nothingness, so why not reap so of it? In fact, this amounts to trimming the Celestial Net’s wool!
"You Celestial Net really plan to set up headquarters here?"
Two Celestial Net captains flanked him, one with a righteous face nad Liang Dong, and the other, a short-haired beauty nad Liang Qiu. They were ordered by Captain Luo to escort him, expressing Luo Yuanzheng’s gratitude towards Hang Yu.
"That’s right."
"It’s not public yet."
"But it’s no secret either."
"Celestial Net was rapidly ford in response to the crisis in the Spirit Realm; the establishnt process was extrely hurried, and it doesn’t yet have a fixed base. Now, after evaluation, the higher-ups believe that Jiangxin Island is an ideal location."
Alright.
He had guessed it.
If Hang Yu were the commander of Celestial Net, he would do the sa.
It’s centrally located, close to the city center, commanding the south and north, connecting the east and west, easy to defend and hard to attack, spanning over twenty square miles, with apparent advantages conducive to the organization’s developnt.
"By the way."
"There’s one more thing!"
"Did you fight with the Fishman Leader?"
Liang Dong casually asked Hang Yu.
Hang Yu slightly raised an eyebrow, indeed it was brought up.
Not surprising, with such a large Fishman Village, approximately three thousand Fishn, how could there not be a leader?
The Celestial Net higher-ups had speculated that the Fishman Leader might be a lord-level existence and a powerful intelligent being.
Yet, he never engaged with any Celestial Net squads.
Now, having searched the battlefield, no trace of him was found, alive or dead.
"Of course, let
tell you, it was extrely dangerous, I almost got strung up and beaten!" Hang Yu casually lied, "Luckily, I had so life-saving tricks, narrowly escaping death several tis. Dragging until the Fog Tower was destroyed, that guy probably saw things were going wrong, realized the ga was over, and fled by jumping into the water."
What?
Fled?
The two weren’t sure if Hang Yu was speaking the truth.
However, although Hang Yu was very strong, dealing with the Fishman Leader should still be a bit too much.
Since the Fishman Leader fled, finding no body at the scene seed logical.
Hang Yu likely had no reason to lie, especially since traces of fierce battle did appear at the center of the Fishman Village. But Liang Qiu wanted to know more details, intending to dig deeper.
Liang Dong spoke first, "If he ran, he ran!"
He could see Hang Yu didn’t want to detail too many specifics.
Perhaps not wanting to expose all his capabilities!
Celestial Net has experts to investigate related matters.
As combat personnel, there’s no need to understand everything so thoroughly!
Captain Luo said Hang Yu is soone to win over. Even if he can’t be brought into the Celestial Net, maintaining good relations with the First Squad and getting assistance from him in the future is crucial for a positive rapport.
"Without Jiangxin Island, the Fishn can’t beco a significant force, just reinforce defense and vigilance in the future," Liang Dong continued, "Anyway, you really worked hard this ti. Without your help, we’d definitely have paid a terrible price."
"No need for thanks. As a civic-minded local citizen, protecting Jiang City is my duty."
"There’s nothing left for
here, I won’t trouble the two captains anymore."
"I shall take my leave!"
Upon finishing, Hang Yu turned transparent on the spot and imdiately vanished before the two of them.
This guy was in quite the hurry, wasn’t he?
Liang Dong and Liang Qiu exchanged looks of perplexity.
Was the Celestial Net going to eat him or what?
Liang Qiu mumbled while staring at the spot where Hang Yu disappeared, "What an enigmatic person."
"Strange indeed, but fortunately not evil. He’s mighty reliable at critical monts, I rather admire him."
The siblings felt it was a bit of a pity.
Such a powerful individual couldn’t be fully utilized by the Celestial Net.
However, thinking it through, if Hang Yu really joined Celestial Net, with his ability and growth, it’d be impossible for him to stay in the First Squad. Sooner or later, he’d beco a captain, wouldn’t that make an internal competition with Captain Luo?
Thinking this way.
His current state seed quite good too.
Summon him during critical monts, becoming the First Squad’s secret weapon.
After the battle, having taken enough benefits and sheared the wool, Hang Yu, who hides his achievents and fa, has already returned ho. He had the Human-faced Ant Queen place the captured prisoner beneath Tree One and Tree Two.
"Bai, can you make him talk?"
"No problem!"
Hang Xiaobai tore off several petals sealing the mouth.
The High-level Fishman began cursing in the Spirit Realm language.
Have to say, the Spirit Realm’s insults were too monotonous, repeatedly using terms like "humble, insignificant, despicable," lacking creativity, and without any spirit, leaving the recipient unaffected.
If Hang Yu let Dog exchange curses with him.
Er Gou could go on for dozens of minutes without repeating.
"Damn, captured and still so arrogant." Hang Yu gave the High-level Fishman a direct slap: "I’m asking you, from where did you enter this world, where is the fissure? Speak!"
"Humble Otherworld ant, other than my life, you’ll get nothing else from ," the High-level Fishman said with steely resolve: "Dream on about getting any intelligence from a Pioneer of glory."
"Oh, boss, even though I can’t understand what he’s saying, this slly fish seems pretty arrogant," Erha Spirit approached with a wagging tail and said, "How about letting
use ten great tortures to properly educate him."
"Torture probably wouldn’t work on this one."
"Spirit Realm natives have an extrely high tolerance for physical pain!"
"Oh, boss, if that’s the case, why did we bring him back?" Er Gou squatted on the ground, looking up at the Fishman, "He’s too ugly to be an ornantal fish, so why not make fish head soup?"
Erha’s thinking was indeed unique.
Such hardcore fish head soup, just you try drinking it for !
Er Gou’s mind was barely sufficient.
But inevitably still ignorant in many ways.
Smart species now are rarer than pandas, probably only a few left in all of Jiang City. If Hang Yu sold him through certain channels, he would surely exchange him for considerable profits and benefits.
Of course, more valuable than the Fishman itself is the intelligence he might possess.
For instance, the location and power the Fishman holds in the Spirit Realm, the civilization situation the Fishman encountered.
Moreover, the Fishn’s massive invasion into Jiang City probably has a relatively stable world fissure. As proactive invaders, the Fishman likely knows the fissure’s location and opening patterns.
All of this has imnse value!
Now it seems, this guy is incredibly tough, without any ans to break him yet.
Hang Yu shook his head, snapped his fingers, Tree One extended branches to coil around him, and hoisted him up into the canopy to hide. With Bai’s seals and monitoring, and due to Tree One and Tree Two’s constant control, not even with wings could he escape.
"Don’t waste ti."
"Starve him for a couple of days first."
"Eventually, there’ll be a way to make him talk."
Hang Yu returned to his room to rest for a while.
Suddenly, his phone received a notification.
