The Flying Fish Falls are located upstream of the Great River, north of Feipu City. It is a massive waterfall hundreds of meters wide and with a drop of thousands of meters or more.
Boom!
Boom!
Even outside Feipu City, the roar of crashing waves could be faintly heard.
“The fish migration! The biggest fish migration has arrived!”
An astonishing piece of news spread rapidly throughout Feipu City. Not only the Spirit Tamers and wandering adventurers, but even the ordinary citizens of Feipu City were stirred into an uproar.
“Hurry! We mustn’t be late!”
Master Lümei urged quickly, “The earlier we occupy the best position, the greater our chance of obtaining treasures from the deep sea!”
“Don’t worry!”
Wu Ming summoned his demon wolf, which let out a roar and instantly grew to the height of nearby buildings. Suddenly, it opened its wolf jaws, flung Lümei and Hou Yong onto its back, and began sprinting rapidly.
“Awooooo!”
The might of this soldier-tier spirit radiated outward, instantly causing the ordinary mounts at the city gate to collapse in a heap.
“This… this is the sea of fish!”
Standing atop Xielang’s forehead, Wu Ming gazed far out at the sea, his expression slightly changing.
As far as his eyes could see, the surface shimmered with waves, countless schools of fish rushing toward the river’s mouth, creating a magnificent spectacle like ten thousand sails racing.
“Make way!”
“Don’t block the path!”
In addition to Xie Lang, numerous other soldier-level Spirit Tamers summoned their spiritual companions, dashing forward like streaks of light.
“Hmm… although the grand fish migration at Flying Fish Falls is famous, the precious resources it produces are limited, attracting at most soldier-tier Spirit Tamers. Rarely do general-tier tamers appear…”
Witnessing this scene, Wu Ming nodded slightly to himself.
“Awooooo!”
The evil wolf charged ahead at lightning speed, the roar of the waves growing ever louder in their ears—until it abruptly fell silent.
Boom! Boom!
Suddenly appearing before Wu Ming’s eyes was the Flying Fish Falls, towering hundreds of meters high, roaring ceaselessly.
Splash! Splash!
Massive waves splashed into the river, forming surging tides. Yet the crests sparkled with glimmers—careful observation revealed countless fish and spirit creatures.
Plop!
Suddenly, a school of five-colored fish with wings and circular markings on their backs leapt from the water. Flapping their scaly wings, they briefly hovered midair, seemingly forming a “bridge of fish!”
“This… these are five-ringed flying fish!”
Wu Ming’s expression shifted slightly, “So this is the famous ‘fish bridge’ spectacle of Flying Fish Falls? Indeed, seeing it once is better than hearing about it a hundred times!”
“Master!”
Lümei kept rubbing his hands together excitedly, “The first fish bridge has already formed. Quickly seize a favorable position and wait for the deep-sea surge!”
“A favorable position? Hmm…”
Wu Ming turned to Hou Yong, “What do you think? Where should we go?”
“Huh?”
Lümei was surprised. This student had always been an idiot before—why was this soldier-tier Spirit Tamer listening to his opinion?
“I…”
Hou Yong was also taken aback, but seeing Wu Ming’s encouraging gaze, he hesitated before replying, “That bridge formed by the ice-patterned salmon… I want to go there!”
“Fine! Then that’s where we go!”
Wu Ming naturally had no objection. Compared to Lümei’s judgment, he actually had more confidence in Hou Yong’s luck.
“Evil Wolf! Go!”
“Awooooo!”
The Evil Wolf roared, leaped into the air, and with a single step on the bridge formed by the ice-patterned salmon, swiftly closed the distance to the Spirit Tamer who occupied that position.
“Ah! Dare you compete with me for territory? Get lost! Three-Eyed Water Ape!”
The Spirit Tamer shouted, summoning a deep-blue-furred ape with a third vertical eye on its forehead. It raised its head, howled to the sky, and fired a stream of water.
“Get out of here! Evil Wolf, Shadow Claw Attack!”
At Wu Ming’s mental command, the Evil Wolf swiftly dodged the water attack with several evasive maneuvers, then suddenly extended its claw.
Chi chi!
Wrapped in black qi, a somewhat illusory claw mark immediately exploded from behind the Three-Eyed Water Ape.
Bang!
The Spirit Tamer snorted coldly. The Water Ape’s back was torn open, blood spewing out—it was clearly severely injured and retreated into its summoning crystal, refusing to come out no matter how it was called.
“Remember this!”
The Spirit Tamer, knocked off the bridge, glared hatefully at Wu Ming before rushing to another fishing bridge to fight for position.
Looting wasn’t limited to this spot. To fight another Spirit Tamer over a mere possibility of resources would be extremely foolish.
“Amazing!”
“Is that a ghost-type Direwolf? It must be at least mid-tier soldier class?”
“The key is cultivation—defeating a same-tier spirit in one strike is truly impressive. He’s a ruthless one. Let’s go!”
…
Wu Ming standing atop the bridge formed by the ice-patterned salmon immediately drew a wave of admiration.
The Evil Wolf stood proudly at the head of the bridge, calmly confronting all hostility and gazes.
Other latecomers all retreated, seeking other fish bridges—there were plenty of opportunities, and stubbornly fighting here would be unwise.
Splash! Splash!
In an instant, more and more schools of fish leaped out of the water, forming arch bridges of varying sizes.
Ice-patterned salmon, crystal trout, white-ink pufferfish, lightning eels, horned golden fish…
Numerous wild schools, spirits, known and unknown rare fish species successively appeared, dazzling the eyes.
Soon, other Spirit Tamers arrived. The soldier-tier ones each claimed a bridge as their territory, while ordinary tamers crowded together, dozens sharing one bridge, eagerly watching the water surface.
“A dozen or so soldier-tier Spirit Tamers?”
Wu Ming’s eyes flickered, then caught sight of that noble lady from the Star-Moon Empire.
She was now standing on a rainbow bridge formed by seven-colored fish. Beside her, a muscular man named Ali openly displayed his cross-armor spirit, intimidating all around.
The woman stood tall on the bridge, her thoughtful gaze also turning toward Wu Ming.
“She really came too…”
Wu Ming glanced at Hou Yong beside him.
“Big-bellied fish hawk, hurry!”
At this moment, Hou Yong’s face was flushed with excitement, completely unaware of the outside world. He focused entirely on commanding his big-bellied fish hawk to dive into the water, frequently pulling up extremely rare fish.
“Hahaha! This time we hit the jackpot!”
Old Master Lümei, beside them, summoned his jade-white spider, which spun a thread like fishing line, pulling up a green crystal wrapped in seaweed from the river.
“Tengluo Crystal, containing some wood-element spiritual power, can quickly replenish the mana of wood-element spirits… Haha! In a shop, a piece this size would cost at least several thousand spirit coins! We’re making a fortune! Making a fortune!”
Lümei glanced at those crowded fish bridges where ordinary Spirit Tamers jostled together, feeling a lingering fear.
If not for Wu Ming pulling him along, he and his student would now be stuck at those worst positions, fighting with a crowd. How could that compare to comfortably occupying an entire bridge?
Splash! Splash!
“What we saw earlier was just an appetizer—the real feast is coming!”
Hearing the sound, Wu Ming suddenly looked far into the distance. Almost all the soldier-tier Spirit Tamers did the same.
Boom!
At that moment, from the distant horizon, a massive white line roared forward from the azure sea surface, creating an astonishingly terrifying spectacle.
“The deep-sea current!”
Wu Ming murmured, eyes fixed, watching this tsunami, hundreds of times more terrifying than the famous Qiantang River Tidal Bore from his past life, rushing toward them.
“Prepare defenses!”
Other Spirit Tamers also shouted fiercely, their faces filled with determination.
Plop! Plop!
At this moment, one after another, the fish bridges, after the common fish exhausted themselves, finally arrived beneath the falls and began climbing upward.
Boom!
The next moment, a sky-covering, earth-shaking wave crashed down!
“Evil Wolf!”
At Wu Ming’s mental command, the Evil Wolf instantly pinned Lümei and Hou Yong down with its paws, bracing for the tremendous impact.
“Truly impressive… the mighty power of nature…”
Feeling the terrifying force from ahead, Wu Ming wore a faint smile. His feet seemed rooted to the spot, using the upward force of the fish climbing the falls to slowly lift them out of the water.
Of course, the majority of ordinary Spirit Tamers, even with defenses raised, were swept away without even a whimper before this mighty force—naturally, greater rewards required greater risks!
Splash!
Time seemed to freeze in that moment, then suddenly, the entire world brightened.
Wu Ming looked around and found himself somehow at the top of the falls. Beneath the fish bridge was a sea of pitch-black water, dotted with sparkling lights.
Under the seawater’s backflow, the original several-thousand-meter-high waterfall seemed to have shrunk by half!
“Hahahaha…”
He laughed heartily, filled with exhilaration, “Good! Behold the surging current, the waves that halt flying boats—what a thrill! Truly thrilling!”
“Great opportunity!”
Beside him, the disheveled Lümei didn’t even care about his messy state. He smacked Hou Yong’s head, who was still vomiting seawater, “Idiot! What are you waiting for? Hurry and start fishing! There’s no time to waste!!!”
“Okay!”
Hou Yong slapped his head stupidly, then quickly grabbed a special fishing rod and cast it down toward the waterfall.
Plop!
“I got one!”
No sooner had the hook touched the water than Hou Yong’s face lit up with joy. He pulled with all his might.
Bang!
A slender gray figure was yanked from the depths and flung onto the fish bridge.
“Waaah…”
It was a spirit juvenile—human-faced, fish-bodied, with four tiny legs, its cry resembling a baby’s wail.
“A freshwater elite species—the Merbaby Fish?!”
Old Master Lümei’s eyes blazed with fiery excitement, “Just this one alone is worth at least tens of thousands of spirit coins! Quickly, capture it!”
After one current, the value of the items brought in immediately jumped a level, making every surviving Spirit Tamer’s eyes bloodshot.
At this moment, even those previously aloof soldier-tier Spirit Tamers couldn’t help but join in, enjoying this annual oceanic feast.
Wu Ming glanced around. Besides himself and the Star-Moon Empire’s group, there was also a Spirit Tamer cloaked in black, revealing nothing, who remained unmoved. Wu Ming’s heart slightly chilled: “Indeed… some traces were still leaked, weren’t they?”
“Ah… Master, look quickly!”
The first to notice the anomaly was Hou Yong. He tugged Old Master Lümei’s sleeve, pointing at the sea, “The… the mountain… the mountain is coming toward us…”
“You’re joking, how could there possibly be a…”
Master Lümei lifted his head—and immediately fell flat on his face, his mouth agape in an undignified manner, “Heavens! It really is a mountain!!!”
