Chapter 1704: Fish Wife
“Shhh!!!”
Ye Qing cut the man off before he could finish. Not only that, as soon as Ye Qing shushed him, the warriors in black outfit abruptly realized that they could neither speak nor move.
“Here comes the fish...”
It was at this moment the fishing rod in the young man’s hands abruptly bent like a bow. Splashes were coming from the well as well.
“Come out.”
The young man gave the fishing rod a gentle tug with only one hand, and a massive fish was pulled into the air.
It was impossible to say how such a big fish managed to squeeze through the small opening of the well. It was at least dozens of meters long. It had a human body but a fish’s behind. It had seven tails with seven colors, and they looked positively gorgeous.
However, the same thing could not be said for its upper torso. At least not completely. The body was a woman’s body. It was curvy in all the right places. However, her face was ugly beyond measure. It was covered in fist-sized warts that constantly leaked smelly, yellowish pus. One whiff was enough to make a grown man throw up the contents of their stomach.
“As I thought, it’s a Fish Wife.”
Ye Qing remarked indifferently as he stared at the strange fish in the sky.
The Fish Wife was also known as the Sick Wife. A Disaster-class Stranger, it was born from places of sickness, filth, and taint. It polluted all wells and rivers in its wake, caused the plants to wither, and the living creatures to fall ill. Over time, it would even trigger a terrible plague. It was scary to put it mildly.
However, Strangers like the Fish Wife were usually found in places with ample amounts of rainwater, or areas where floods and other aquatic threats were frequent. It was very strange for it to appear in the dry and with poor rainfall like the Western Regions.
