Chapter 185: Snipefish


    It took a few moments to realise what was going on. But judging from the dust cloud that had erupted right near the work-ce, the only hint was that a copse was inflicted against these enemies.


    "Dig him out!" A fish yelled out, it was the samedy who these survivors considered as a leader at the moment.


    "We can''t!" One of them shouted out, but it was impossible to figure out who shouted.


    This group of fish was bursting around in all directions like spooked deer, simply because they could not do anything to help theirrade, who apparently had been overwhelmed by a copse.


    Whatever work they have put in until now, was now considered worthless. Because dirt and rock had pissed all over their workspace. If they wanted to get the holy-balls now; these fish would need to put in a day''s worth of work at least.


    As for the only stingray that was in this cavern, he had it difficult to hold inughter. But at the same time was a tad agitated because a new n had to be made now. But it surely was fun tough at the enemy''s misfortune, it felt refreshing.


    However, now action had to be put in. From all things that he wanted to do, waiting around forever was something that he avoided. It felt logical not to waste time, so he emerged from the dirt and began stalking the closest-by-enemy.


    It was a fish that stretched half a foot in size, smaller than the hero without a doubt. It felt good to hunt something smaller for a change, he had been dealing with massive enemies for longer than he could remember.


    Unwilling to be secluded about it, he charged towards the prey, out in the open - unbothered if anyone else spotted him. And before anyone else could notice the sea-disk''s presence, jaws dug against the enemy''s neck from below!


    It came in as a shock for the little blue-fish who couldn''t see where this attack came from, but it stood evident that the kill was swift and only hurt for a quick second.


    [Neon damselfish killed. 2 system point has been given to you as a reward]


    [Since this should be the current system given task, you get an additional 2 points]


    [Total system points = 188]


    Although it was a terrible idea to ask insightful questions right now, it had to be done. "I don''t remember this. You didn''t tell me about the new task, right?"


    [You demanded for me to tell you about this taskter on. But since killing a fish of this species, was supposed to be your 16th task anyway, you get points even though you were unaware of the task]


    It made sense, and right now he didn''t want to ask a lot of questions regarding the topic. And instead, had charged towards a spooked fish who witnessed the kill.


    Eye-witnesses wouldn''t have much value here, since all of these fish are supposed to be killed anyway - but the rest of these fish, were still unaware of the grand threat.


    These few seconds of unawareness had to be used entirely, as it would be a tad more difficult to battle these enemies, if they were all attacking at the same time. So he directly charged towards this red fish, and ignored an irrational fear.


    This particr enemy wasn''t massive, and didn''t pose any actual threats. But, it was t in a vertical manner and that just seemed weird. He did not understand how evolution and species design worked, but right now he wanted to make an instant kill.


    So after getting close enough to the enemy, the young one began fluttering his fins a bit more roughly for the sake of slowing down just a little bit.


    And at the same time, young Timmy allowed his tail to push forward in less than a split second. So ultimately, he became a projectile that was moving at considerable speeds. A bumblebee if you will.


    The enemy had no other option but to try and swim away. But in an instant, its waist felt a shocking pain. And it was solely because the stingray''s tail, had barged from one side of its waist to the other.


    Which was rather easy alone. And thanks to the momentum, they both began rolling around in the sea-water like ragdolls for a few seconds.


    [Golden angelfish killed. 1 system point has been given to you as a reward]


    [Total system points = 189]


    After untangling from the enemy, it was noticeable that the remaining 10 fish had noticed his presence. That and they were getting ready to attack. This tribe felt dumb, that they just assumed the intruder had been overwhelmed by the copse.


    Thergest fish of this tribe, began charging towards the intruder after noticing that a few of herrades weren''t exactly ready, or brave enough to attack.


    It seemed like this enemy was bigger, but in actuality, she was just double in sizepared to the hero. So there wasn''t much to worry about, especially since there won''t be any stronger fish after this one.


    Unwilling to shy away from battle, Tim began charging head-first as well, but had a battle n instead of just ying brave. They reached each other in just a short second, but didn''t have a collision that one would tell their grandchildren about.


    The sea-pancake had avoided the head bud by fluttering above the enemy. But it couldn''t be considered an absolute miss, and in no way cowardly.


    His barb had curled into a C-formation, and a blow wasnded right against the enemy''s forehead! Considering the momentum that came along with it, he even heard a mildly loud thud afternding the strike.


    Venom had piled up in his tail until now. And thanks to excitement that came along with this battle, the entire quantity was unleashed against the enemy. Almost paralyzed, thedy couldn''t move ~ most likely because this shot had done damage against the brain.


    The fish he had just paralysed, had a long-ish snout that the hero feared. But considering that he was the only inflictor in that sh, there was nothing to fear right now.


    That''s when the system came in with a notification, [Longspine snipefish killed. 9 system points have been given to you as a reward]


    [Total system points = 198]


    Such a reward didn''t feel exactly drastic. Especially since he still wouldn''t be able to buy any upgrades with the current amount of points. But just before he was going to charge against a bundle of enemies, who were getting closer by the second: the system announced.


    [Eating or biting a longspine snipefish, can upgrade your natural camouge for a time span of 1 hour]
