Xia Xiu was sitting on a lightweight pony, equipped with all portable fishing equipment. He was concentrating on fishing in a small ice hole he had just opened.

The silver fishing rod in his hand is engraved with fine reliefs, and the silk thread is fishing along the ice hole on the cold lake.

The originally caught fish have been carefully placed aside in special containers. These containers are designed with an oxygen supply to ensure that the fish will not suffocate during temporary storage.

"Ha~"

Next to it, a large dog with white hair and red eyes lay lazily on the ice, exhaling. It was carefully accompanied by the young Silver Gray, who curiously observed the surrounding environment.

However, in this quiet night, not far below the lake, danger was quietly approaching.

The Horned Serpent and its two cadres, scar-faced Alex Reynolds and blond-haired Lisa Morgan, were hidden under the murky water, approaching upward through dense aquatic plants and undercurrents.

The huge body of [Horned Snake] swims in the icy water, dragging a shadowy figure behind it, spitting out cold snake messages.

Two San Diego Rockets executives move through a magically transparent bubble filled with the air they need to breathe.

The tense atmosphere underwater contrasts sharply with the tranquility on the lake.

Lisa, a female cadre with wavy blond hair looked at the blurry figure on the ice, with an undisguised murderous intent flashing in her eyes. She made a decisive gesture to the scar-faced Alex, intending to directly solve the problem.

Drop the target.

She whispered through their special communication device:

"Let the horned snake take direct action to end the enemy beastmaster."

In Team Rocket's code of conduct, there are often not many head-to-head confrontations, nor are there any upright beast-control duels. Their mission is only for the ultimate goal of the consortium - to control all beast-controllers.

In the new world development and new world land reclamation movement caused by the beast control system, the beast control masters and the cowboys of the past are always put together to give them a beautiful imagination - the cowboys are the duels of revolvers, and the beast control masters are the upright and upright warriors.

Beast showdown.

These duels are real, but the way they show off is not as beautiful as imagined.

In the beast-taming competition within the federation, because the beast-taming duel has been financialized and commercialized, it is difficult to follow the rules and regulations. However, outside the competition, if you still follow the academic beast-taming duel, then with

Stupid, what's the difference?

Fighting against beasts ≠ Fighting against beasts!

Killing the beast master is more reliable and faster than killing the beast!

Scarface looked at the fishing figure above, and he still had a subtle feeling deep in his heart. However, he couldn't explain this feeling clearly, because it was indeed a bit inconsistent for someone with a wonderful intuition to attack an enemy of unknown origin.

The Rockets' style is even endorsed by a think tank.

However, a subtle influence in his heart made him ignore the logical [error]. The only thing he could think of at this time was that the other party might be more than just a beast master. He said to Lisa:

"The opponent may still be a thaumaturge. If the assassination fails, we must be prepared for a battle."

After hearing this, Lisa smiled confidently, and her voice was full of fighting passion:

"The two of us, as beast control masters who have completed the consortium [Gene Compilation and Synchronization], have the power of the Federation's native mythical creature Horned Serpent, how can we be defeated so easily! Don't worry, any threat will be within our power

It turned into nothing in front of you.”

"The consortium represents the strongest beast control system in modern times. It is destined to reach the top with extraordinary methods. The beast control system has never been a challenger in the new era..."

"The thaumaturges are the challengers!!!"

During their conversation, [Horned Snake] swam quietly underwater, its huge body driving the surrounding water to form tiny ripples.

The scales on its body reflected a faint light in the faint light, and the cold breath exhaled by the snake merged with the lake water. All these foreshadowed the coming conflict.

The monster's ferocious eyes peered through the bubbles at Xia Xiu and his beast masters on the ice.

Those malicious eyes seemed to be able to penetrate thick ice, and their killing intent was strong, as if they had foreseen the coming hunt.

This huge mysterious creature looked directly at the ice above through the clear water bubbles, its cold eyes full of murderous intent.

Lisa's blond hair floated slightly under the water, and she whistled gently, which was a signal for battle.

“Boohoo!!!”

[Horned Snake] felt the command, its huge body accumulated strength in the water, and then quickly rushed towards the target on the ice.

Long——

*******

Xia Xiu and his beast on the ice felt an unusual vibration.

The large dog with white hair and red eyes instantly became alert. His ears stood upright, his fangs were exposed, and his body was tense like a bow about to attack.

A cold light flashed in Xia Xiu's eyes. He seemed to have anticipated some potential threat, but his expression was unusually calm and even a little playful. An infinity symbol "∞" suddenly appeared under his feet.

BOOM!!!

With a deafening bang, what suddenly rushed out from under the ice was a huge [Horned Snake]. Its huge mouth was like an abyss, and it shot straight into the sky from bottom to top.

Boom~

At this moment, the center of the ice seemed to be struck by an invisible force, cracking rapidly and spreading to all sides like a spider web.

The patter--

As the horned snake soared out of the sky, the huge water column suddenly broke through the ice, rushing straight into the sky like a river flowing backwards, and then turned into a majestic heavy rain, pouring down on the broken ice like a waterfall, the scene was spectacular and shocking.

In this devastating scene, almost at the moment when the ice surface collapsed, the "∞" symbol under the blond young man suddenly collapsed, and the space twisted and compressed around him.

call out--

His figure disappeared from the spot at the critical moment and teleported to 200 meters away.

His right hand was still holding the silver fishing rod firmly and he put it on his shoulder. He was holding a fish box full of harvest in his left hand and stood suspended above the broken ice.

The "∞" floating under his feet steadily supported his calm posture in this chaos. When the rain in the air was about to bathe his body, it quietly bent to avoid it.

At the same time, Jiam showed amazing reflexes and physical fitness in the crisis.

At the moment when [Horned Snake] suddenly struck out with its maw, Jiamu's body expanded rapidly, and using its amazing explosive power, he made a powerful jump, safely evading the direct attack with his silver ash.

At this moment, his figure had swelled to several times its normal size, floating on the surface of the lake that was broken by the impact, and his ferocious eyes locked on the monster emerging from the lake.

Under his feet, broken ice blocks floated like islands.

Standing on the water covered with broken ice, Xia Xiu faced the huge monster lurking, his golden eyes filled with undisguised displeasure.

Electric fish, poisonous fish, fried fish.

Ground cage, dense mesh, absolute household net.

These are the six taboos of fishing. What a fisherman hates most is meeting someone who commits these six taboos.

The beast in front of him now exploded the fish in the ice lake as soon as it came out. And judging from its appearance and the crackling sound of electricity coming from it from time to time, it is basically certain that this beast is also contaminated with electricity and poison.

Up.

Xia Xiu's golden eyes stared brightly at the [Horned Snake] in front of him. This beast had a huge body, dozens of meters in length, and was covered in hard and shining scales.

Under the dim moonlight, every ray of light captured by these scales turns into subtle fluorescence, adding a mysterious and dangerous beauty.

Its eyes are like two extremely bright gems, scarlet and deep. The most eye-catching thing is the two long horns on its head. They curve gracefully backwards and are shaped like the horns of an antelope. The surface is not only smooth but also dotted with gems.

Like depressions, these depressions shine with a faint light under the moonlight.

When Xia Xiu stared at the horned snake in the ice lake, [Adam] seemed to detect something.

**[Godly Sin·Horned Snake]**

Geographical location: northern federation

The horned snake is a mysterious creature in the mythology of the Aboriginal people of the Commonwealth of North America. It is common in the legends of many tribes, especially in the Southeast and the Great Lakes region.

Not only do these creatures have a deep connection with bodies of water such as lakes and rivers, they also often appear in stories related to tribes' rituals and traditions.

In some cultures, the horned snake is considered a sacred being.

For example, among the Native Cherokee tribe of the Confederacy, it is considered the imparter of medicinal knowledge, playing a key role in teaching shamans how to use herbs for healing and revealing the secrets of the future.
