I was just fishing, how did I become a Great Old One?

Chapter 310 Fishing for Leviathan and the Sky Full of "Live Sashimi"

Koprulu Sector, Char Planet, High-Energy Gas Fountain Canyon.

A massive shadow loomed over everyone's hearts as if it were a physical entity.

The Leviathan hovering in low orbit was enormous. Its body, stretching for several kilometers, obscured the light of the red giant, and countless thick tentacles writhed slowly in the air like seaweed, each tentacle emitting a purple psionic aura at its tip.

Thousands upon thousands of Mutalisks and Corruptors, like a swarm of wasps around a hive, hovered densely around the behemoth, their flapping wings creating a low-frequency noise that made your teeth ache.

"My God..."

Tex dropped the half-eaten Thunder Beast steak in his hand to the ground; it was the steak he had been reluctant to finish.

"If this thing were to crash down, this entire continental shelf would sink."

"Swann! Where are your anti-aircraft guns? Set them up now!"

"it's useless!"

Swan looked at the sky in despair.

"At that altitude, with that quantity, even if my missile turrets emptied their ammunition depots, it would only be a tickle!"

……

The Queen's questioning.

Just then.

An immense and suffocating surge of psionic energy directly and forcefully entered the brains of all the creatures present.

That wasn't a sound.

That was the direct arrival of will.

"Who is it...?"

The voice was cold and arrogant, with a sound effect that blended the voices of a human woman and the overlord of the swarm.

"On my planet, give my warrior..."

"It turned into...excrement?"

As the question was uttered, one of Leviathan's enormous compound eyes slowly turned, locking onto the group of "tiny creatures" eating barbecue on the ground.

……

The chef's response.

Facing the Queen of Blades's psionic pressure.

Mohanda trembled all over, barely able to hold onto the light blade in his hand.

Tex felt like his head was about to explode; it was the instinctive fear of a lower creature facing a higher predator.

Only Jiang Li.

He calmly bent down, picked up the half steak that Tex had dropped on the ground, and blew the dust off it.

Wasting food is not a good habit.

then.

He raised his head and stared directly at the enormous compound eye in the sky.

His spiritual power (the Gluttony Godhood) formed an invisible barrier, easily blocking Kerrigan's psionic piercing.

"Hello, Ms. Kerrigan."

Jiang Li's voice wasn't loud, but with the blessing of the Gluttony Godhood, it was clearly transmitted to a height of several thousand meters.

Let me introduce myself.

"I am Jiang Li, the head chef of Deep Blue Cafeteria."

"We meant no harm."

"We're just... hungry."

"and……"

Jiang Li pointed to the pile of thunder beast bones.

"Your warrior has not become excrement."

"They turned into... energy, and happiness."

……

The swarm's fury.

"hapiness?"

The voice seemed to be enraged by the absurd word.

"Then let me see how you face death..."

"Can I still be happy?"

"attack."

The command is extremely simple.

But in a swarm network, this is an absolute decree.

"Gah—!!!"

The countless biological jets beneath Leviathan opened instantly.

Tens of thousands of black dots poured down like a torrential rain.

Those weren't raindrops.

That's a herd of strange dragons.

And there's something even more terrifying... the Scourge (a self-destructing mosquito).

……

"Justice from heaven? No, it's just that the takeout has arrived!"

Looking at the overwhelming swarm of insects.

Jiang Li showed no panic whatsoever; instead, she displayed an overwhelming joy at the opening of the buffet.

"Ergou! Set up your guns!"

"Firebat Team! Ignite!"

"Great Sage! Nezha!"

Jiang Li waved his hand.

"Give me that big fish (Leviathan)."

"Those little shrimps (mythical dragons)..."

"You have five minutes."

"I want to see sashimi ingredients all over the floor!"

……

Aerial combat begins: Nezha's slaughterhouse.

"Okay!"

Nezha had been itching to get his hands on the weapon for a long time.

He rode on his Wind and Fire Wheels, and with a flick of his Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon), he transformed into a red tornado, charging directly into the dense swarm of insects.

"I just got pricked in the butt by a splinter, and I was just looking for a way to vent my anger!"

"Universe Ring! Go!"

The golden Qiankun Ring grew larger in the air, resembling a giant golden millstone.

"Click-clack-clack-clack—"

Wherever it passed, those fragile alien dragons were like being put into a meat grinder, their wings and bones instantly broken.

But it's not over yet.

Nezha did not smash them (Jiang Li had instructed that the whole corpses be kept for sashimi).

He simply and precisely broke the dragon's wing joint.

"Time to cook dumplings!"

The alien dragons, having lost their ability to fly, fell to the ground like raindrops.

……

"I, Old Sun, am here too!"

Sun Wukong was not to be outdone.

He plucked a handful of monkey hair, put it to his lips, and blew on it.

"Change!"

Countless little monkeys appeared out of thin air, each riding on a somersault cloud and wielding a miniature version of the golden cudgel.

They don't fight.

They specialize in... catching birds.

A little monkey rides on the neck of a strange dragon, holding a specially made net bag (made by Swann from high-strength fibers).

"Grab them alive! Grab them alive! The master said, only fresh meat is fresh!"

In a short time.

What was originally a desolate battlefield has been transformed into a bird-catching contest at Flower Fruit Mountain.

……

"That wretched monkey!"

Kerrigan clearly never expected that her proud air force would be captured like wild game.

She issued another instruction.

"Exploding mosquito! Impact!"

Those self-destructing mosquitoes that looked like bats and were full of acid explosives suddenly accelerated.

Their target is not people.

Instead, it's the ground-based... Treant (World Tree Ark).

"not good!"

Swann was greatly alarmed.

"Those are anti-ship biological missiles! If just one hits, my SCV will be totaled!"

……

Er Gou's interception.

"Woof! Trying to blow up my kitchen?"

Er Gou lay prone on the high ground, the barrel of his C-14 Gauss rifle on his back already glowing red.

"True Vision - Full Power!"

Within its field of vision, the flight path of each exploding mosquito was marked.

"Try Dogmaster's...double burst!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Er Gou displayed astonishing marksmanship.

Every bullet hit the exploding mosquito's acid sac with pinpoint accuracy.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Green fireworks exploded in the sky.

Before those exploding mosquitoes even reached the ground, they turned into a dazzling shower of acid rain in mid-air.

"Beware of acid rain!"

Tex shouted.

"Firebat Group! Vaporize in Flames!"

The three fire bat chefs on the ground immediately raised their flamethrowers and sprayed fan-shaped flames into the sky.

The high temperature instantly vaporized the falling acid.

A strange smell of vinegar filled the air.

……

The chef's fishing.

The ground battles, though lively, were just a side dish.

The real main course is in the heavens.

Jiang Li stood on a huge rock, looking up at the Leviathan, which was as big as a mountain.

"It's so big, the pot can't hold it."

Jiang Li muttered to himself.

"And its hide is so thick, it's probably even harder to chew than the Thunder Beast."

"but……"

His gaze was fixed on the countless drooping tentacles beneath Leviathan.

Those tentacles, hundreds of meters long, are the organs that Leviathan uses to hunt and sense the ground.

"Those whiskers..."

"It looks like... a sausage?"

"Or perhaps... top-quality squid tentacles?"

……

[Skill: Deep Blue - Everything can be fished.]

Jiang Li pulled a... golden vine from his pack.

That was an aerial root of the World Tree (Tree Demon).

It is incredibly resilient and possesses extremely strong vitality.

"Great Sage! Come back here!"

Jiang Li greeted him.

Wukong somersaulted back.

"What's wrong, cook?"

"Help me put on some bait."

Jiang Li pointed to the huge piece of meat remaining from the Thunder Beast's hind leg next to him.

"Tie this piece of meat to the vine."

"Then……"

Jiang Li pointed to the tuft of tentacles hanging down from Leviathan.

"Send it up..."

"Okay!"

Wukong instantly understood Jiang Li's intention.

He hoisted the several-ton piece of thunder beast meat onto his shoulder, gripping one end of the vine.

"Somersault Cloud! Rise!"

Wukong transformed into a golden ray of light and shot straight into the sky.

……

Trapping giant beasts.

high in the air.

Wukong carried the meat and swayed among the tentacles.

"Hey! Big guy!"

"Dinner's ready!"

The Thunder Beast meat was smoked with gas, emitting a high-energy aroma that the Zerg could not resist.

Although Leviathan is a warship, it is also a living being.

As living beings, we all have instincts.

One of its huge tentacles caught a whiff of the scent.

"Whoosh!"

The tentacle resembled a giant python, suddenly coiling towards the meat in Wukong's hand.

Wukong loosened his grip.

The flesh was wrapped up by the tentacles.

Also caught was the World Tree vine.

"They've taken the bait!"

Jiang Li's eyes lit up as he stood on the ground.

The vines in his hands suddenly tightened.

"Alice!"

"Connect to the Treant's power plant!"

"SCV! Help pull!"

"This is... an interstellar tug-of-war!"

……

A contest of power.

"Buzz——————"

The Tree Demon on the ground roared.

The other end of the enormous vine was connected to the trunk of the Tree Demon.

At this moment, the two SCVs also extended their mechanical arms, grabbed the vines, and started their engines at full power.

"One, two, three! Pull!"

"Crunch—"

Leviathan in the sky suddenly felt a tremendous force coming from below.

Its massive body was pulled down slightly.

"roar?"

Leviathan let out a confused growl.

It wanted to retract its whiskers.

However, that golden vine (the root of the World Tree) possesses a strange bio-devouring property.

Once it gets entangled with its target, it will grow countless tiny hairs that dig deep into the flesh.

They will never open their mouth unless it is cut off.

……

Cutting moment.

Leviathan was pulled down several hundred meters.

The enormous tentacle was stretched taut, like a pillar reaching to the heavens.

"Now!"

Jiang Li took a deep breath.

He could feel the [Gas Overload] buff from the Thunder Beast Steak he had just eaten burning within him.

Every cell in my body is cheering.

"Master Mohanda!"

Jiang Li looked at the Divine Warriors watching the show beside him.

"May I borrow your knife?"

"My knife?"

Mohanda was taken aback.

"Your purple light blade."

"Only void energy can sever biological tissue at this level."

"this……"

Mohanda hesitated for a second.

But looking at Jiang Li's fanatical eyes, he nodded as if possessed.

"For the Cuisine."

……

[Mixed Doubles: Void - Butcher's Skill in Dissecting an Ox.]

Mohanda flashed and appeared beside Jiang Li.

He grabbed Jiang Li's shoulder.

"Blink!"

brush!

The two were instantly teleported into mid-air, right next to the taut tentacle.

"cut!"

Jiang Li shouted.

Mohanda's curved light battle blade swelled to ten meters in length, and purple void energy surged.

The Occam's Razor in Jiang Li's hand was also covered with a layer of black Gluttony God power.

Two knives.

One purple and one black.

At the same time, it struck the base of the tentacle.

"Pfft—!!!"

It wasn't as hard as I had imagined.

Under the extreme energy cutting, the huge tentacle with a diameter of over five meters was neatly severed, just like a hot knife cutting through butter.

Purple blood (high-energy biological fluid) sprayed out everywhere.

……

"Awooo!!!"

Leviathan let out a blood-curdling scream.

This pain traveled directly through the neural network to Kerrigan's brain.

"Damn it!"

Kerrigan covered her head, her face pale.

That was her flagship, and also a part of her body.

She felt as if one of her fingers had been cut off.

"retreat!"

"Take off!"

Kerrigan immediately gave the order.

Faced with this unreasonable fighting style (daring to eat Leviathan), she felt a chill for the first time.

These people are not soldiers.

These people are... lunatics.

……

Harvest time.

Having lost its tentacles, Leviathan resembled a startled octopus, quickly retracting its remaining tentacles, spewing out a thick cloud of disruptive mist, and fleeing into the sky.

And that huge tentacle that was cut off, which was 300 meters long.

It then crashed heavily onto the canyon floor.

"boom!!!"

Smoke and dust rose everywhere.

It's like a fallen dragon.

……

Food ingredient identification.

The battle is over.

Jiang Li rushed to the tentacle immediately.

He ignored the still twitching nerves.

I tapped the surface of the whiskers with the back of the knife.

"Knock knock".

It is very elastic.

Make another small cut.

Inside was... translucent, white muscle tissue filled with collagen.

There are no bones.

It's all meat.

And it's the kind of meat that's... extremely bouncy and chewy.

[Ingredient: Leviathan Perception Tentacles (tip portion).]

[Level: Interstellar Seafood]

[Texture: This is a piece of "living" squid. Its fibrous structure is a hundred times finer than that of the finest squid. Because it has been exposed to a vacuum for a long time, the meat is extremely firm and contains no excess moisture.]

[Suggested cooking methods: teppanyaki, grilling, or... sashimi.]

……

"I've struck it rich."

Jiang Li stroked the huge "flesh pillar".

These aren't whiskers at all.

This is clearly... more squid strips than I could ever finish in my lifetime.

"Boss!"

At this moment, Nezha and Wukong also returned.

Behind them, a huge net was being dragged.

Inside the net were... hundreds of alien dragons whose wings had been removed.

There was also a pile of unexploded mosquito corpses that Er Gou had picked up (those were acidic condiment packets).

"What a bumper harvest!"
