Chapter 158 They've taken the bait!
Butcher Jack composed himself and reached into the cloth bag.
No, in the end, it's just a slightly larger prey.
He really is something else. After being a butcher for so many years, how come he was suddenly scared by a little devil?
The cloth bag fell to the ground.
A thick, black foot was clearly visible!
"—An eight-eyed giant spider?!"
Jack cried out in disbelief.
Staring at that ferocious, enormous body, he looked as pale as someone who had only just discovered on their wedding night that they had married a three-meter by three-meter female giant.
This is no ordinary eight-eyed giant spider.
Rather, it is a rare individual that is at least several decades old and whose body has swelled to its extreme!
Often, the demon has a group of offspring.
Extremely dangerous!
Jack looked at the huge, through-and-through wound on the spider's back and swallowed hard.
Looking down at Ethan, he suddenly asked:
"Kid, how did you find my place?"
Ethan tilted his head and smiled warmly and sunnyly:
"A wizard named Paul told me. He was so kind and easy to talk to, a truly wonderful person!"
Jack fell silent.
If I remember correctly, Paul is a very cunning guy, and he's always good at making sarcastic remarks.
He loves to outsmart Aurors and outsiders.
I found the right place on the first try!
Light a candle for Paul.
"Hmph, fine, kid. You've come to the right person."
"Within a radius of a hundred miles, only I, 'Slaughterer Jack,' can perfectly handle this thing!"
Ethan nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."
Although the butcher looked rough and uncouth, his processing methods were quite meticulous.
Remove the venom sac and collect the venom.
Pry off the hard outer shell and repair the inside.
In no time.
This eight-eyed giant spider transformed into a round, plump "pupa".
It looks so appetizing.
Ethan licked his lips, curious about the taste of the giant "silkworm pupa".
It was worth the effort he put in to find this place.
After all, if it were done through official channels, it would definitely be subject to investigation.
They might even confiscate it directly.
Ethan felt that the dark wizard community gave him a sense of home.
With this perfect bait, you're guaranteed to catch the Labrador Retriever King in one go!
Obtain the protective spell and reach the pinnacle of life!
A fierce fighting spirit ignited in Ethan's eyes.
After paying.
Ethan then asked, "Do you know where I can rent a fishing boat? I need a big one, and preferably one that's enchanted so I can drive it myself."
Upon hearing this, Jack frowned and said, "It's winter now, and most fishing boats are in port for maintenance. Not to mention precious magic ships; even if there were any, they would have been taken long ago. It's impossible for me to give them all to you."
"Bang."
Before he could finish speaking...
Ethan slapped a cloth bag onto the table.
The sound of coins clinking together made Jack involuntarily stop talking.
His gaze followed the golden light emanating from the bag, unfocused.
The words that were on the tip of her tongue unconsciously turned into: "—You can have whatever you want."
Jack grabbed the money bag, a mixture of greed and awe flashing in his eyes.
"I guarantee I'll get it for you under the name 'Butcher Jack'!"
"very good."
Ethan nodded in satisfaction.
Indeed, money is the most popular thing in the world.
No matter how cold and hard a person is, they will become tender and gentle in its presence.
Sigh, it's just a little heartbreaking. Ethan watched the money bag disappear into the distance, feeling like the curse was about to slip out of his mouth.
I can't bear the thought of Harry not being able to catch the noseless fish, and I can't bear the thought of Galleons not being able to catch the King Fish!
Everything is for a better tomorrow!
Ethan, go for it!
The group followed Jack, who had closed his stall immediately, towards the trading area.
Mr. Lovegood followed behind them.
Completely bewildered, still not having reacted.
How could it be just a moment's distraction?
In the blink of an eye, Ethan became a guest of honor of the dark wizard.
What on earth happened?!
Lovegood felt that he could no longer keep up with the way the young people were thinking.
At the fishing port.
Jack successfully opened the seller's heart with a punch and a dazzling Galleon.
By throwing the original captain overboard, Ethan gained the right to use the magical fishing boat.
Suing the authorities? It's useless!
Originally, Jack was looking for illegally modified fishing boats.
It's a case of the wicked eating the wicked.
It was permeated with brutal internal struggles and persecution.
Luna: "Ethan has promoted the development of winter fishing; Ethan is such a good person!"
The dark wizard floundering in the water: ? ? ?
Open your eyes before you speak!
"I won't let you get away with this! You despicable outsiders!"
Luna looked down from the deck: "Poor thing, let me help you."
As she spoke, she raised her wand and chanted a spell that Ethan had never heard before.
A beam of blue light shot out.
"Whoosh!"
A large, square block of ice appeared in the sea.
It enveloped the dark wizard perfectly.
His expression froze in shock and disbelief.
The ice floes rose and fell in the sea.
Luna: "Oops, I failed by accident. Hehe~"
Ethan patted her on the shoulder and encouraged her, "Try again next time."
On the shore, the dark wizard cried anxiously, "If they keep going like this, this black market will disappear!"
"Jack, aren't you going to do anything about this?!"
Jack's eyes reflected the gleam of Galleons as he declared righteously, "I didn't see anything."
Black Wizard: "...—"
It’s over.
Jack has been seduced by the devil and fallen.
At this time.
The dark wizards who came from the shore after hearing the news exchanged glances, their eyes gleaming with greed.
"...That eight-eyed giant spider definitely wasn't hunted by this brat himself."
"I guess they bought it from someone else."
"Rich brat, I'll personally take you down right now."
After discussing it, the group boarded another magic ship and secretly followed Ethan and his companions.
If we succeed, we probably won't have to worry about food and drink for the next year!
On the shore, Jack watched their departing figures and shook his head.
"Hell lies ahead—"
He would stake his decades-long career as a butcher on it.
That kid is definitely not simple.
I'm afraid their fingernails are soaked with blood.
"Heave-ho!"
A loud thud.
Ethan cast the baited fishing line into the water.
The purplish-red fishing rod glittered in the sunlight.
Ethan: "No, Luna, don't try to turn my robe purple too. It's someone else's fishing rod, and I don't like this color."
Luna put down her wand in disappointment.
Then, he enthusiastically began to study the manufacture of small dark clouds.
A cold wind blew in.
I took a picture of Mr. Lovegood, his head and face covered in rainwater.
A stupid father, soaked to the bone: ".—·
Our daughter is truly talented!
The waiting time was long.
Ethan wrapped himself tightly in a thick cloak, clutching a small hand warmer in his arms, curled up like a little old man.
I wonder when it will bite. Once the King Fish takes the bait, I'll summon the Death Bird myself.
Because it's impossible to pull the King of Fish by oneself alone.
It's uncertain when the Fish King will take the bait, so it's best not to summon it rashly and waste magic power.
Ding!
Suddenly, Ethan heard a sharp crack in his ear.
Immediately afterwards, the fishing line in my hand suddenly taut!
They've taken the bait!
So fast?!
Ethan's eyes lit up, and he shouted:
"Death, Part One—Gurgle!"
The instant the fishing line taut, Ethan was violently thrown over the railing by a great force and plunged headfirst into the sea!
"Splash!"
The ship rocked, splashing water everywhere!
Such incredible power!!
Ethan held his breath, feeling the icy seawater rush into his nostrils.
In the dim seawater, he could not see anything, but could only vaguely make out that a huge creature was frantically dragging his fishing line.
Swim quickly into deeper water!
On the rocking boat.
Luna gripped the railing firmly with one hand, pointed her wand at the sea with the other, and hugged her father on her lap.
He pronounced clearly and quickly, "Ethan is coming."
In the sea.
Ethan felt his clothes being suddenly pulled upwards!
Magic draws him to fight against the giant fish!
Thanks, Luna!
That brief opening was enough for Ethan to react!
Phoenix of Death, activate!
A flash of white light appeared on the back of my hand!
next second.
A sharp, high-pitched cry rang out, and a pair of hands, as withered as corpses, grabbed Ethan from behind!
Then, suddenly lift it upwards!
"Splash!"
Breaking out of the water!
