Super Zoo

As the bald man recounted his miserable experiences, a life-and-death battle was unfolding in the waters of Shuijun Lake.

On the calm surface of the water, waves splashed about as if some monster was struggling beneath.

Suming was seated in a motorboat, eyes intently fixed on the water's surface, while two German Shepherds rested their front paws on the edge of the boat, tongues out as they stared at the water, occasionally emitting threatening growls.

Despite their excellent water skills and formidable combat abilities, the dogs were helpless when it came to fighting aquatic creatures!

The recently introduced ferocious Alligator Gar hadn't been in the lake for long before the big-headed catfish that guarded the lake detected their presence!

Alligator Gars are natural-born killers, and the big-headed catfish stood no chance against them. The latter wouldn't dare to engage directly in combat, for approaching would only be tantamount to suicide. In desperation, the big-headed catfish could only lead the nearby fish far away, doing its best to minimize losses.

By the time Suming arrived, in less than twenty minutes, the seven Alligator Gars had already killed dozens of various fish and shrimps!

Suming immediately recognized these creatures notorious as "freshwater destroyers" and unleashed a surge of spiritual power upon them.

The Alligator Gars, being one of the ten most ferocious freshwater fish, surprisingly had a strong resistance to spiritual power. They were irritable and fierce and difficult to tame. Upon contact with spiritual power, they wriggled free from control and struggled to escape.

With Suming's current level of spiritual power, he was not totally helpless, but the size of the lake was vast and the Alligator Gars were highly cunning. It was not easy to accurately pinpoint their location. Even if they could be barely locked on, the Alligator Gars would not submit in a short time.

Suming quickly guzzled a large mouthful of blue honey, replenishing his spiritual power to the brim, and controlled the school of fish to lure the Alligator Gars towards the center of the lake.

On the way, dozens more juvenile fish, used as bait, were sacrificed!

"Damn it! Zhou Jin, I swear I'll make sure you have a failed harvest every year!" Suming gritted his teeth fiercely.

At that moment, in the waters beneath the boat, appeared a huge whirlpool made up of thousands of various fish species!

At the very center of the whirlpool were the seven gathering Alligator Gars!

Layers of juvenile fish, connected head to tail, swam around the Alligator Gars rapidly, like migrating schools of fish in the ocean.

On the outermost layer were the weakest Crucian Carps, no larger than a palm. Being nearly defenseless, they were positioned on the periphery for protection. Their main mission was to drive the whirlpool, ensuring the formation remained intact. Since fish have a schooling instinct, with the Crucian Carps constantly rotating, the whirlpool's formation would not be disrupted!

The relatively plump Black Carps formed the backbone of the whirlpool. They were much larger than the Crucian Carps, and the force of their full-on collisions in the water was formidable, acting like walls to protect the fragile Crucian Carps and other small fish.

Sleek and fast-swimming Silver Carps darted through the whirlpool like blades, causing confusion amongst the Alligator Gars.

The seven Alligator Gars were like being trapped in a giant iron barrel, the water currents stirred up by the fish whirlpool causing them to sway. However, their ferocity was fully provoked at this moment, as they madly charged at the fish formation, tearing open gaps in the whirlpool each time!

Fortunately, with the lake teeming with fish, each loss was quickly replenished by more, with Black Carps tightly layered over layers of defensive rings, as thick as fortresses. The impact of their own swimming also generated strong forces, and the Alligator Gars' charges hit the whirlpool like heavy blows on slippery butter, with half of their energy dissipating due to the whirlpool's rotational force!

The main purpose of the fish whirlpool was to prevent the Alligator Gars from escaping. The only ones truly qualified to fight the Alligator Gars were the Snakeheads!

As carnivorous fish, the Snakeheads, although not as infamous as the Alligator Gars, were no match for ordinary freshwater fish. Their bodies were all muscle, their strength formidable, and their mouths filled with sharp teeth containing slight venom.

If the Alligator Gars were like special forces amongst fish, then at least the Snakeheads were akin to well-armed militia!

With their numerical advantage, and under Suming's unified direction and command, large groups of Snakeheads burrowed through the lake's muddy bottom, entering the midst of the whirlpool fearlessly from below, launching a group charge toward the Alligator Gars!

It wasn't just the blackfish; the bottom of the lake had turned into a veritable 'forest of swords and sabers.' Countless crabs and lobsters, brandishing large and small pincers, surged upwards. If a crocodile gar swam a tad too low in an attempt to rest and regain its strength, it would immediately be clamped so viciously that it was left with wounds all over its body.

The greenfish and grass carp were relatively fewer in number, but they had likewise joined the fray.

The grass carp were larger and packed a more powerful ramming force than the silver carp. A single grass carp weighing around five pounds could knock an adult unconscious with its full force in water!

Wherever the whirlpool showed a weak point, a large grass carp would immediately fill in. If the crocodile gar wasn't paying attention, it would be knocked aside and sent sliding far away.

Greenfish are omnivorous and their favorite food is snails. They are nicknamed 'snail cracker' and even though their teeth are long gone, their sucking power is remarkable. With their fleshy lips, they can suck the flesh of snails right out of the shells. Under the waters home to greenfish, there's often a thick layer of empty snail shells.

One by one, the greenfish clamped their large mouths firmly onto the crocodile gar, severely slowing down the speed of these otherwise lightning-fast creatures.

Suming's side kept sustaining casualties, and with it, the crocodile gar's stamina was rapidly depleting.

Gradually, the whirlpool currents and water movements, which had seemed trivial at first, began to have a significant impact on the battle. As the fish swirled faster and faster, a vortex even appeared on the surface of the water, and the crocodile gars in the water started to falter and flail.

In water, fish are like people on land: if a person can't walk steadily on shore, it can only mean that they have reached the brink of exhaustion!

"Now's the time!"

Suddenly, the whirlpool opened a large gap, and a monstrous-looking alligator turtle with a swaggering gait entered the battleground from the fissure!

Whether in offense or defense, the alligator turtle was far superior to the crocodile gar. Against one-on-one, there was no question of the outcome. But normally, faced with seven crocodile gars, the alligator turtle would have to flee!

However, at this moment, the crocodile gar had reached the end of their tether. The arrival of the alligator turtle was the last straw that broke the crocodile gar.

Looking every bit the demon, the alligator turtle chased the disoriented crocodile gar in a frenzied pursuit. Repeatedly, crocodile gars would crash into the 'walls' of the whirlpool, only to be pushed back by the formidable collision force, and then chased again, crashing back into the whirlpool...

Seeing the opportune moment, Suming licked a large mouthful of honey and violently poured his spiritual power into the seven crocodile gars without any reservation!

Nearing utter exhaustion, the crocodile gars finally could no longer withstand the erosion of spiritual power and gave up resistance!

The water's surface gradually returned to calm...

After the great battle, nearly three hundred of Suming's fish fry, shrimp, and crabs had perished, with the majority being crayfish. Due to their shelled bodies, these creatures were actually quite fragile; a sweep from the long bodies of the crocodile gars killed many at once.

Compared to the total population of Shuijun Lake, these losses were negligible. But if not for Suming's timely discovery and strategic command using spiritual power, given enough time, these few crocodile gars could have wiped out everything in the lake.

All seven crocodile gars were captured and brought back to the Fengshui Pavilion. They looked like prehistoric monsters, with slimy scales covering their bodies and long mouths filled with sharp teeth—they looked unspeakably strange.

After recovering a bit of strength, the crocodile gars even showed signs of rebelling once more!

"Give up resistance, turn away from darkness and toward the light, right the wrongs, switch sides and strike back—that's your only way out!"

Suming sat inside the Whisperwind Pavilion with a cold smirk.
