Chapter 252: The Fisherman Never Goes Empty-Handed

In Saka Nation’s livestream:

"OMG!"

"Shameless Dragon Nation people!"

"They’re desecrating the dead!"

"Record this scene. This is proof of their barbarism!"

A viewer from Dragon Nation immediately retorted:

"This only proves you’re like a wife in a vegetable garden, pulling vegetables!"

" Ah, there’s a Dragon Nation person mixed in!"

Monotony and loneliness were enough to drive anyone insane.

But in Shen Yu’s previous life, his ears had been filled with gunfire, screams, and never-ending alarms.

A place like this, with only the sounds of wind and waves, was a serenity he couldn’t even dream of.

[Big boss, is he spacing out?]

[He’s been rowing for almost an hour. It’s nothing but water. It feels so hopeless.]

[The big boss seems so relaxed. Am I imagining it?]

[Honestly, I haven’t seen such a blue sea in a long time either.]

Just as the atmosphere was becoming cheerful and peaceful, a small black dot appeared on the horizon.

Shen Yu immediately stopped moving the thigh bone.

The technicians outside the screen immediately zoomed in and enlarged the image.

"Report!"

"It’s a raft!"

"One person aboard. He’s flying the flag of Saka Nation!"

The two vessels slowly drifted closer under the current.

The Saka Nation contestant was a thin man with a sallow face. He waved at Shen Yu from a distance.

"Hello, friend from Dragon Nation!"

His accent was strange, probably because the voice came through the game’s translation system.

"Friend, I see you have dried meat hanging there. Want to trade? I have fish here. Let’s exchange some food. It will help both of us maintain balanced nutrition."

As he spoke, he raised two small fish strung together with a grass rope.

Shen Yu didn’t speak. He simply stared coldly at him.

Seeing that Shen Yu remained unmoved, the Saka Nation contestant shifted his gaze to the bandaged hand.

"Ah, my friend, are you hurt?"

He made a concerned expression.

"I have some fresh water here. I can exchange it with you."

Shen Yu’s gaze fell on the raft.

Slowly, a sincere smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, my friend. Come closer."

Looking at Shen Yu’s innocent smile, Dragon Nation’s livestream chat exploded.

[No way!]

[Big shot, what are you smiling about? I just got my hopes up!]

[Can we trust the Saka people?]

[Wu Wu, healing medicine!]

[I just became a fan!]

Shen Yu couldn’t see the disappointment on the screen. Even if he could, he wouldn’t care.

"He... He can’t really be planning to trade with the other side, can he?" Zhang Guangwei muttered.

"Don’t be foolish," General Pei said calmly, leaning back in his chair.

"Don’t rush."

The Saka Nation contestant, seeing Shen Yu respond, flashed a look of joy and rowed hard to get closer.

His raft was rudimentary, with several pieces of wood tied together using hemp rope.

But Shen Yu was extremely satisfied.

His smile grew even gentler.

He even extended his hand, seemingly wanting to help pull the man aboard.

"Be careful, friend. The waves are a bit strong."

[I can’t! He even stretched out his hand!]

[Kindness should have some sense, right? Why? If this fails, we—]

The host of Pretty Nation’s livestream, Jeff, laughed so hard he nearly fell over.

"Oh, this kind Dragon Nation man! Does he not know this is a life-threatening game? Does he think he’s at a party?"

"So naive. So cute."

"I guess in the next second, his head is going to be smashed by his brave Saka Nation ally!"

Maybe thinking the distance was close enough, the Saka Nation contestant stopped hiding his intentions.

The foolish Dragon Nation man is not only weak-looking, but his left hand is injured too. Better to die here than elsewhere. He can contribute Evolution Points to the Great Saka Empire.

"Die!"

He grinned savagely, throwing the fish in his right hand.

The white crystal hidden behind the fish instantly stretched into a sharp, soft spike half a foot long.

Saka Nation’s livestream was already filled with cheers.

To them, the Evolution Points and national rewards were already in their pockets.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Yu didn’t even step back.

He merely shifted his body slightly, tightly gripping the thigh bone in his hand and swinging it in a straightforward, no-nonsense manner.

Bang!

A dull sound rang out.

The Saka Nation contestant’s face froze after being struck precisely on the temple. His eyes bulged, and the salt spike in his hand shattered into grains of salt, some of which fell into the coffin.

Shen Yu moved quickly, grabbing the man’s hand.

"Decompose."

There was no response.

Without looking at the man’s injury, Shen Yu decisively kicked him in the chest.

Splash!

The man flew out like a broken sack, sending up a huge amount of water.

From the moment the Saka Nation contestant attacked to the moment he was kicked into the sea, only three seconds had passed.

[Am I seeing things?]

[Brother Bone is the MVP!]

[Brother Bone’s thigh is so long and useful!]

[Sorry, I kneel!]

[I shouldn’t have called you the Virgin Mary!]

Shen Yu hooked the end of the thigh bone onto the raft and pulled it over.

He placed his hand on the raft.

[Decomposable target detected: Rudimentary Raft.]

[Decomposition will yield: Wood ×10, Hemp Rope ×3.]

[Confirm decomposition?]

"Confirm."

The next second, the raft turned into a soft light and disappeared into thin air.

[Decomposition successful.]

[Obtained: Wood ×10, Hemp Rope ×3.]

[Stored in Warehouse.]

"Looting the dead..."

Shen Yu paused.

"No. Seizing the spoils."

[I love it! Now there’s wood!]

[The big shot’s coffin can be upgraded!]

The cold seawater woke the Saka Nation contestant, who had been stunned by Shen Yu’s blow.

His whole head ached terribly.

But he was still alive.

His raft, however, was gone.

"Baka! My raft!"

"You devil!"

"What did you do to me?"

He splashed around, cursing furiously.

"You will face retribution! The great Amaterasu won’t let you go!"

Shen Yu didn’t look at him.

He picked up a pinch of salt powder from the coffin and sniffed it.

It was ordinary salt, quite fine-grained.

The host in Pretty Nation’s livestream looked grim.

"This Dragon Nation person is way too lucky."

"But he’s so foolish! Why didn’t he just kill that Saka Nation contestant? Keeping him alive is just asking for trouble!"

However, Shen Yu’s next actions made everyone fall silent.

He bent down and picked up the cloth that had been on his leg, absorbing the blood from his palm.

It was almost soaked through with his blood, twisted into a ball.

Shen Yu lifted his arm and tossed it.

The cloth fell exactly next to the Saka Nation contestant.

"You bastard! How dare you insult me!"

The cloth slowly unfolded, streaks of dark-red blood spreading through the seawater.

The Saka Nation contestant’s expression changed rapidly.

He saw the surrounding seawater begin to stir strangely.

Silver monster fish, each the size of a pole, rushed in from all directions.

Their target was the spreading, blood-soaked cloth.

"They’re sharp-toothed fish monsters," Professor Li Shu explained. "These fish are extremely sensitive to the smell of blood, and they live in groups."

The Saka Nation contestant in the water finally realized the danger.

His face filled with terror, and his curses turned into pleas.

"No! Don’t come!"

"Go away!"

"Save me!"

"Please save me!"

"I was wrong!"

"I’ll give you everything I have!"

He tried desperately to swim away, but the sharp-toothed fish monsters were much faster.

"Ah!"

Hundreds, even thousands, of silver shadows surged forward, surrounding him completely.

The seawater instantly turned a spreading dark red.

Hundreds of shadows darted and churned like a high-speed blender.

In just a few seconds, only swirling red seawater remained.
