Chapter 53, Xu Wendong Was Underestimated
The sudden impact raised a layer of cold sweat on Xu Wendong, Jin Jianyuan, and Jin Lingqiang. None of them had expected an unexpected underwater attack in broad daylight, causing them to panic and feel uneasy.
Although the sky was filled with dense clouds, it was shocking to see such a terrifying presence dare to stir trouble in broad daylight, overturning their understanding of supernatural threats.
Staring at the boiling lake surface, Xu Wendong tightly grasped the edge of the speedboat, his mental energy highly concentrated. He noticed a black silhouette swiftly approaching underwater; the shadow was about three meters long, resembling a giant fish.
If it collided with them, even if the speedboat beneath them didn’t disintegrate, there was still a chance it could be overturned.
If they fell into the lake, no matter how adept they were at swimming, they couldn’t guarantee they’d escape safely.
Just then, Xu Wendong grabbed a harpoon from the speedboat and infused True Qi before throwing it out.
The sharp harpoon, powered by True Qi, darted like lightning with a splash, disappearing into the water, followed by a spreading crimson bloom, as the black shadow vanished without a trace.
The lake surface returned to calm in an instant, and both Jin Jianyuan and Jin Lingqiang showed expressions of lingering fear. Having grown up in the shanty district, it was the first time they witnessed such a terrifying existence in South Lake.
"Doctor Xu, did you see what that shadow was?" Jin Lingqiang asked with a face full of dread.
Xu Wendong’s eyes were grave: "It looked like a giant catfish."
Jin Lingqiang asked cautiously, "Does that mean it wasn’t a supernatural threat?"
