Chapter 797: Chapter 797: Just Finish It in One Go
Although he wouldn’t let Sephidya take action, he couldn’t just let these fishern ruin his plans here.
After all, those capable of coming over to catch Floating Fish weren’t people who couldn’t survive without this opportunity. Those who made it to this place were desperadoes, and many of them were not good people.
Even regular adventurers wouldn’t easily venture into such dangerous places.
Right next to it was the treacherous Plague Swamp, where those people treated humans as re materials.
“We can’t just leave them be. It’s better to take control of them directly,” he thought.
Zhao Guang thought for a bit, then expanded his spiritual power outward. Although he was only a Great Mage, when it ca to using Spiritual Magic, the effects were much stronger than those of an ordinary Great Mage.
As his spiritual power spread out, it enveloped a large area around him. Without anyone knowing, Zhao Guang cast one Spirit Control Spell after another, starting with the Floating Fish.
He spared no one, whether they were large or young, or even the size of a palm.
These small ones couldn’t fly for long in the air; they could only glide for short periods.
But as low-level Magic Beasts, Floating Fish had a rapid growth rate, and could reach maturity in just a few years.
Next, Zhao Guang controlled the people lying in ambush around him as well—though he used only temporary control. He didn’t want to control them permanently, as he didn’t plan to take them all back with him.
“After erasing their mories of this event later, they won’t know what happened,” he thought.
Zhao Guang waved his hand, motioning the boats to move further away from this area; he didn’t want these fellows to interfere with the Floating Fish that would return later. However, as he sent the boats away, Zhao Guang suddenly noticed that more boats were coming.
But they were not heading to his stretch of beach; they continued to sail further north.
“Strange, what are those people doing? Aren’t they here to catch Floating Fish?” he wondered.
The various setups and tools on that boat were clearly ant for catching Floating Fish.
“Indeed, they ca for the Floating Fish, but it’s the beaches further to the north,” revealed soone under Zhao Guang’s control without knowing what they were doing.
“Are there beaches in the north too?” Zhao Guang truly didn’t know that. The information only ntioned that Floating Fish appeared on this beach. Besides, the Silver Tower had assigned this task rely for the sake of food.
Because the taste of the Floating Fish was incredibly delicious, even so mages couldn’t resist it.
“There are twelve beaches in total, each one a breeding ground for Floating Fish. It’s uncertain which one will have more each year. We had already agreed to take responsibility for our own beach, leaving it to luck who gets more,” they explained.
So that was it, Zhao Guang understood.
“Tell the locations of the other beaches.” He had to get there quickly and couldn’t let them all get away.
They carried the maps with them, and Zhao Guang glanced at the nautical chart and pinpointed the locations of these beaches. In fact, these beaches weren’t very far from each other due to the environntal conditions here.
One beach was even right in the middle of three islands, but that area was also a warm region.
Since he knew the location, Zhao Guang had no intention of letting them go and teleported over directly.
He then did what he had done before, taking care of everything in one swoop, temporarily controlling the people and permanently controlling the Floating Fish. If it weren’t for Zhao Guang’s strong spiritual power and fast magic recovery, he really wouldn’t have been able to control so many.
Even in the end, Zhao Guang had no choice but to use his Contract Book for temporary assistance.
Otherwise, with so many contracts weighing down, even Zhao Guang’s own spirit was starting to feel the burden.
For the following ten days or so, Zhao Guang kept wandering around here until the large schools of fish arrived. During that ti, more people kept arriving, and Zhao Guang had to run around controlling them in advance.
Fortunately, by the ti the schools of fish arrived, everyone who could make it had already arrived.
Zhao Guang transported their boats to farther locations, and when those were out of sight, the Floating Fish felt much more secure.
The Floating Fish under Zhao Guang’s covert control behaved exactly as usual, effectively lowering the guard of the other Floating Fish.
Just like that, when the massive schools arrived, Zhao Guang pulled off a clean sweep. If it wasn’t for the fact that many of the small, immature fish were spared, this place might well have faced extinction.
Even so, it would likely take several years for this place to recover.
This also depends on whether the fishern will give these fish a chance, or else it will definitely fall into a vicious cycle.
“Master, we can go back now, right?” Seeing the vast and spectacular swarm of fish that almost covered the skies, Sephidya was quite astounded. It wasn’t ordinary to see the sky being blocked out by sheer numbers.
“It’s ti to go back, but it’s a pity we don’t have the ans to transport a large number of live creatures. Otherwise, it would have been much easier to return.”
In the past few days, Zhao Guang diligently researched bloodline control, but it was still only showing preliminary signs of success. Had he not been a Master Rune Master, it would really have been impossible in this regard.
Nevertheless, with his current rate of research, if he fully focused on it, he should be able to complete it within a few days.
The trouble now is that it won’t be easy to send these Floating Fish all the way back.
“Let’s go, lead the way.” Until now, the only option left was to rely on sheer strength to force their way through. Of course, Zhao Guang wouldn’t dare go near where the Undead Mages were, given that there were two legends there.
After careful counting, the number of large Floating Fish he had collected had already exceeded ten thousand.
The small Floating Fish that clustered densely around the larger ones were even more nurous, to the point of being incalculable. Fortunately, these creatures ate everything, amphibious in both sea and sky, dining on small fish and shrimp and even small birds in the air.
Even leaves, roots, and small insects on land would not be spared by them.
With this, as long as they were fed Ashen Reed Grass back ho, it would be fine—the grass was excellent fodder and grew very fast.
If there had been as many griffins as there were now, Zhao Guang truly couldn’t afford to raise them in his current situation.
“It seems that we have enough creatures for mounts, and so will have to be made into food. That’s not bad, exporting Floating Fish as food in large quantities could definitely develop into a major industry.”
With such a large quantity, if raised well, another pillar industry would be added to his territory.
Moreover, his territory was ho to a large number of Grey-Skinned Lizardn, who were skilled at fish farming. With these resources, he could better pacify the Lizardn and even promote the integration and developnt of various races.
