Under One Person: The Invincible Catfish King
Chapter 30: 9 Deaths, 1 Survival? No Survival!
After the giant catfish king waved its fins, it used its supernatural powers and hurriedly left. Its huge figure seemed to be fleeing in a panic in the sea breeze.
e=e=e=┏(゜ロ゜;)┛
Then, the inexplicably appearing, thick, ink-like dark clouds slowly and eerily dissipated from the coast, as if gently brushed away by an invisible hand.
Then, just a few seconds later, these dark, inky clouds that had suddenly disappeared reappeared out of nowhere eight or nine kilometers away and began to gather again. This strange sight made everyone feel very puzzled!
People whispered among themselves, their faces full of doubt and unease, trying to figure out what this meant.

At this moment, the strangely dressed old woman, who exuded a mysterious aura, slowly shook her head, her slow movements seeming to carry a thousand pounds of weight.
The crisscrossing wrinkles on her face seemed to deepen several more times in an instant, each one like a deep mark etched by time.
She sighed deeply, the heavy, drawn-out sigh seeming to carry the endless vicissitudes of time, like an ancient, softly sung ballad echoing in a quiet corner, as if murmuring to herself:
"It's no use trying to escape. Now that you're entangled in this karma, no matter how fast you run, it won't make a difference!"
╮( ̄▽ ̄“)╭
Her voice was hoarse and trembling, every word filled with deep helplessness and the vicissitudes of life, like a heavy sigh coming from the abyss of time, moving the listener deeply.
"If it were a hundred years ago, there might have been a chance of survival."
"At that time, the world was filled with abundant spiritual energy, and all things in the world were full of vigorous vitality."
"Back then, the rules weren't so strict, and everything was still subject to many variables. Even if you were in dire straits, there was still a glimmer of hope."
A fleeting, elusive sadness flashed in the old woman's cloudy eyes, a sadness as brief as a shooting star across the night sky, yet heartbreaking.
(′- へ -、)
Her dazed expression seemed to have transported her to the distant past, recalling all the possibilities that had once been, her eyes revealing a longing and yearning for the past.
"Now, it's a one-way street to death!"
︶︿︶
Her tone grew increasingly heavy, as if each word carried the weight of a thousand pounds. Her tightly furrowed brows were like a closed city gate, blocking the light of hope; her taut lips revealed a resolute determination, as if she had already witnessed the inevitable tragic end, her heart filled with despair and sorrow.
"What a pity!"
(._.“ll)
These few words were slowly uttered from her parched lips, her voice low and deliberate, filled with deep regret. Her sorrowful tone seemed to be playing a final lament for something beautiful that was about to disappear, leaving one feeling desolate.
"Wait a minute, this old woman will go over and see if your fairy fish can leave me anything good after it dies!"
~(⊙o⊙)~
After saying that, a hint of undisguised greed appeared on her face. The greedy expression was chilling and completely different from her compassionate demeanor at the beginning.
Those gleaming eyes were filled with a naked desire and eagerness for profit, like a hungry wolf spotting its wounded prey, about to pounce and devour it.
Then, the old woman continued to mutter things like "Good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years," which were completely baffling.
(~ ̄△ ̄)~
The indistinct, intermittent chanting echoed in the empty air, like the whispers of a ghost, adding to the eerie and mysterious atmosphere, making one feel as if they were in a strange and unpredictable world.
It wasn't just this strangely behaving old lady who was waiting for her chance.
The eerie and bizarre sight of dark clouds shrouding the deserted island, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, has attracted countless people of all kinds.
←_←
These people come from all over the country. They work in a wide variety of industries, have diverse identities, and come from very different backgrounds.
Among them were several monks whose attire was particularly eye-catching. The monks wore solemn robes, the color of which appeared even darker under the dim sky; the Taoists wore flowing robes and held whisks, the strands of which swayed gently in the wind.
Both are included, forming a unique scene.
However, what was quite surprising was that the expressions of these monks were quite different from the compassionate and merciful demeanor of monks described in legends.
(°-°〃)
They are not the compassionate and benevolent saints that people have always thought of, but rather more like ferocious vultures preparing to collect bones!
Their eyes were fixed on the strange sight on the deserted island, unblinking, their gazes gleaming with an unusual light—a light devoid of any compassion or pity, only filled with eagerness and greed.
That eagerness was like a parched desert desperately craving rain, a longing so intense it bordered on madness; that greed was like a hungry wolf eyeing a plump lamb, its gaze fierce and resolute.
(ー`′ー)
Their expressions were focused and fanatical, as if they were waiting for a bloody feast, an unrestrained revelry that could satisfy their selfish desires.
As dark clouds enveloped the entire deserted island, everyone's breathing seemed to become rapid, like tearing paper in a gale, whistling loudly.
The rapid breathing sounded exceptionally clear in the deathly silence, as if it were the clamor of their inner desires, exposed without any concealment to everyone.
In order to reach that mysterious deserted island as quickly as possible, they prepared various means of transportation.
Someone prepared a fishing boat, its hull mottled and dilapidated, as if telling the story of the vicissitudes of time.
Someone had prepared a speedboat, its hull gleaming with a metallic sheen, and it moved with incredible speed.
Some people may be poor or even live in a dilapidated little wooden boat that teeters precariously on the waves, seemingly about to be swallowed by the sea at any moment, but they pay no heed to that.
However, there was another guy who prepared a hang glider and planned to use the wind to fly directly there!
( ̄△ ̄;)
Meanwhile, people continued to flock to TJ Bay Beach!
Of course, most of these people who came were ordinary people who came to watch the excitement.
Most of them were residents living nearby. They found there was something interesting to see, so they called their friends and family to come and watch.
┏(`ー′)┛ ┏(`ー′)┛ ┏(`ー′)┛
After all, seeing is believing!
The fact that the video was deleted from the internet so quickly means that something big must have happened.
Many gossips with a keen sense of smell immediately sensed that something was amiss, so they rushed over, eager to be the first to know the truth!
(. ? ? ?.)
However, a small portion of those who came were also outsiders who had received the news and wanted a share of the profits.
