Chapter 377: Temple Master Ning Is... Chasing a Tiger Shark?

"Tiger Shark Forest?!" The moment those words came out, the viewers completely blew up.

Today's series of events had drawn almost the entire internet's attention to Ning Fei.

Some wanted to interview him about his feelings on saving the fishing boat, others worshipped him and wanted to learn how to surf from him, while some simply came to the live-stream room to catch a glimpse of a god in action.

People gathered in Ning Fei's live-stream room, only to realize that this wasn't a cultivation stream at all—this was a horror stream!

Damn it! A massive Giant Kelp Forest dozens of meters tall, with tiger sharks darting back and forth.

Anyone would be terrified!

Yet Ning Fei appeared completely unfazed, as if there was no danger at all.

"This is too scary!"

"Temple Master Ning, how about we leave first? With so many tiger sharks around, it's way too dangerous!"

"Yeah, we're in the ocean after all. It's not like humans can move easily down there."

"Even if you can beat a tiger on land, there's no way you can beat a shark in the sea!"

"Temple Master Ning, I'm begging you, fall back!"

"The streamer is a god. What are you guys afraid of?"

The viewers chattered endlessly.

Many expressed that their hearts couldn't take it.

This was far more thrilling than watching a horror movie.

Just imagine: wandering alone through a dim, green Giant Kelp Forest, vision almost entirely blocked by the massive kelp, with a tiger shark ready to pop out at any given moment.

How could that not be terrifying?

Ning Fei, however, remained calm. After all, he had his trump card: the Marine Animal Friendly Card.

Worst case scenario, he could just befriend two tiger sharks and have them escort him up to the surface, one in front and one in back.

He still had a mission to complete.

'This is a Tiger Shark Forest. A lot of tiger sharks live here.'

'I need to find a way to track down that Golden-Striped Tiger Shark.'

'But this Giant Kelp Forest is so massive. I don't know if I'll even be able to find it,'

Ning Fei thought.

He continued swimming forward.

The scenery was beautiful—if you ignored the sharks that could appear at any moment.

Many timid viewers were feeling incredibly conflicted right now. The stream was simply too captivating, and they really wanted to watch, but they were also terrified of seeing a tiger shark.

Because of this, many covered their eyes with both hands, peeking at the screen through the gaps between their fingers.

Perhaps watching it like that gave them a bit more courage.

As Ning Fei swam forward, countless small fish continued to dart around him in dense schools.

However, from time to time, a tiger shark would glide across the camera's frame.

Just then, Ning Fei pushed aside a giant kelp frond and encountered another shark.

But upon seeing this one, the viewers were no longer scared. Instead, their faces filled with interest.

It was a baby shark. It wasn't very big—only about the length of a forearm—looking almost like a toy.

Truth be told, with the exception of insects, most animals were incredibly cute when they were young, sharks included.

An adult shark struck fear into people's hearts, but a baby shark was exceptionally adorable.

Seeing the little shark, Ning Fei's hands suddenly itched. He swam up behind it and gently grabbed its tail.

The baby shark hadn't even noticed anything was wrong. It wiggled its body, trying to swim forward, but ended up staying perfectly in place.

Ning Fei's antics sent the viewers into fits of laughter.

"Baby shark: If you have the guts, wait until I grow up!"

"Hahaha, Temple Master Ning is a bit wicked sometimes."

"Be careful, Temple Master Ning. I think its mother might be nearby."

"Makes sense. You can't just play with any cub you find!"

"This is a baby tiger shark!"

Ning Fei finally spoke up.

"You can all rest easy. Generally speaking, sharks become independent shortly after birth. Their parents won't take care of them."

"From the moment a baby shark is born, it already has the ability to fend for itself."

Saying that, Ning Fei let go of the baby tiger shark's tail.

The baby tiger shark wasn't afraid. Instead, it turned its head and stared at Ning Fei with eyes full of curiosity.

"It must have lived in this Giant Kelp Forest since it was born and hasn't seen the outside world, so it's very curious about me."

Finding it quite amusing, Ning Fei added.

With that, he reached out a finger and gently scratched the baby tiger shark's white belly.

The little tiger shark had never experienced such a caress before. For a moment, its entire body went limp in sheer comfort.

When Ning Fei pulled his hand away, the baby tiger shark floated right back over, swaying in front of him. It clearly wanted more pets.

Its cute and silly appearance amused the viewers to no end.

For a brief moment, they all found themselves realizing that sharks could actually be this cute.

Seeing this, Ning Fei continued to pet the little tiger shark, having quite a bit of fun himself.

The number of concurrent viewers in his live-stream room across the internet was absolutely terrifying right now—it sat well above twenty million.

With so many people watching him dive deep into the ocean to play with a baby tiger shark, they couldn't help but marvel in awe.

Ning Fei teased the little tiger shark for a short while longer before setting off again to search for the Golden-Striped Tiger Shark.

By now, the sky was gradually darkening.

The sun was about to "set into the sea."

If he didn't find the Golden-Striped Tiger Shark quickly, the sky would turn pitch black, and the bottom of the ocean would be swallowed by darkness, making it even harder to find.

'Where is that shark?'

'The System shows it's right in this area of the sea. It should be inside the Giant Kelp Forest.'

Ning Fei rapidly wove his way through the Giant Kelp Forest.

At the same time, he kept a close eye on his surroundings.

Right at that moment, he finally spotted something.

Peering through the gaps between the massive kelp fronds, Ning Fei saw a colossal dark shadow in the distance.

Faint traces of gold flashed across the shadow's body.

The Tuna Submarine immediately focused its lens on the sight ahead.

The viewers were stunned.

"What is that?"

"Is that a tiger shark? Why is it so massive?"

"From the back, it looks just like one!"

"Good lord, with a tiger shark that big, could it be the Tiger Shark King?"

While everyone was crying out in shock, Ning Fei sped up, swimming straight toward the dark shadow.

This scene made the viewers tense up all over again.

They couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

"Temple Master Ning is too bold!"

Ning Fei drew closer and closer to the shadow.

Its form became clearer and clearer.

As the viewers looked closely, they realized that the shadow was indeed a shark. It was virtually identical in shape to a tiger shark.

However, this shark was massive. It looked to be around four and a half meters long, nearly reaching five meters!

A shark of this size looked just like a submarine.

Moreover, its body was covered in golden stripes that ran down its length, giving it an incredibly domineering aura.

"What kind of shark is this?"

"Good lord, it has golden tattoos?"

The viewers had never imagined that a shark with golden tattoos could actually exist!

"This is definitely a tiger shark. It should be a mutated variant, or perhaps a rare surviving species of tiger shark that hasn't been discovered by humans yet," Ning Fei said.

"It's even larger than a normal tiger shark. I wonder what its temper is like."

The moment Ning Fei saw this tiger shark, he knew it was the target he was looking for.

His mission was to touch the Golden-Striped Tiger Shark.

Because of that, without a moment's hesitation, Ning Fei swam straight toward the Golden-Striped Tiger Shark.

But right then, something entirely unexpected happened.

For some unknown reason, the Golden-Striped Tiger Shark's tail suddenly began whipping back and forth. Putting on a burst of speed, it shot fiercely forward.

A shark's speed was top-tier in the ocean.

As a result, in almost an instant, the Golden-Striped Tiger Shark was about to disappear from the stream's camera feed.

Having finally managed to find the Golden-Striped Tiger Shark, there was no way Ning Fei was going to let it go so easily.

And so, in the very next second, Ning Fei cranked his Underwater Thruster to the maximum. Trailing a string of bubbles, he chased right after it.

This sight left every single viewer petrified in shock.

"Temple Master Ning is chasing a tiger shark?!"
