Whole School Transmigrated: I Have 3 Daily Intel

The initially rhythmic chopping had now blurred into a near-constant clamor.

SPLASH!

The Unihorn Catfish moved again, this time more violently, throwing a member of the Fishing Club with an axe right off its head.

Fortunately, he fell into the water, so he wasn’t injured by the fall.

After he climbed ashore, his axe was gone. With no time to look for it, he could only join the team pulling the ropes, trying to snap the horn alongside Xu Jun...

SPLASH!

The Giant Catfish moved again, with greater force and at more frequent intervals.

This meant the weakening effect of the Vermilion Fruit was rapidly wearing off...

Chen Chong was shocked. ’It’s recovering this fast?’

He didn’t dare slow down, swinging the axe in his hands even faster.

SPLASH!

SPLASH!

SPLASH—

The Unihorn Catfish struggled ceaselessly, its tail thrashing on the bank as it tried to get back into the water.

However, its body was tied fast by the tug-of-war ropes. The only result of its struggles was the trees at the other end shaking violently, their leaves rustling.

This wasn’t because the Unihorn Catfish lacked strength, but because it hadn’t fully recovered yet.

Although it could now move after being paralyzed, the weakening effect of the Vermilion Fruit still lingered, preventing it from using its full power.

But as time passed, it struggled more and more, its strength growing with each moment.

The tug-of-war ropes tied to it were already stretched taut, and the trees shook as if in a gale.

Only Chen Chong and Wang Biao remained on its head, swinging their axes.

Zhang Meng and another person had been thrown off long ago. With no time to climb back up, they could only go and pull the ropes.

The task of chopping off the horn now fell to Chen Chong and Wang Biao...

CRACK!

Hearing the sound coming from beneath the soil, Zhong Fang and the other members of the Fishing Club were stunned.

They knew it was the sound of roots snapping. Unseen, underground, the tangled root systems were being torn apart.

This Giant Catfish’s strength was simply too immense.

Seven trees, each half a meter wide, were bearing its force.

Even so, the roots were snapping, a sign that the trees were on the verge of being uprooted. If it had only been tied to two or three...

Wouldn’t it have been dragged into the water long ago, ropes, trees, and all?

But even so... could these trees really hold this Giant Catfish?

Even if the trees held, could the tug-of-war ropes endure?

No one was confident. The Unihorn Catfish’s strength far exceeded their imagination.

The Vermilion Fruit’s effect was fading fast. The Unihorn Catfish’s condition was getting better and better, and its struggles could no longer be described as frequent; they were now non-stop.

Sensing the damage to its horn, which seemed on the verge of breaking, it went berserk, twisting and thrashing for its life.

This made it difficult for Chen Chong and Wang Biao, still on its head, to exert any force. They could only grab the horn with one hand and swing their axes with the other, trying their best to widen the gash.

At this point, the palm-wide horn already had a gash cut halfway through it.

Faced with its frantic struggles, Xu Jun and the others didn’t dare pull with their bare hands anymore. Instead, they wrapped a rope around the nearest tree, using the tree’s stability to pull on the horn as much as possible...

Finally...

As the Unihorn Catfish fully recovered, the force of its struggles reached its peak.

Chen Chong and Wang Biao could no longer swing their axes. They tossed them onto the bank, grabbed the horn with one hand and the rope tied to it with the other, trying to add their own strength to snap it.

The two of them, boosted by a Comprehensive Enhancement Card and a Power Enhancement Card, were far stronger than ordinary people.

Pulling alongside the tug-of-war rope, they actually managed to make the half-severed horn emit faint cracking sounds. It seemed like it would snap completely at any moment...

BANG!

At last, one of the tug-of-war ropes couldn’t withstand the Unihorn Catfish’s strength and snapped.

The arm-thick rope whipped sideways under the immense force, striking two Fishing Club members who couldn’t react in time, sending them flying through the air before they crashed to the ground, unconscious.

Zhong Fang froze for a second, then quickly ordered everyone away from the tug-of-war ropes and the strained trees.

BANG, BANG, BANG—

Another three snaps echoed. The roots of the anchored trees were half-pulled from the ground, soil and all, and more tug-of-war ropes broke in the middle.

Now, apart from the rope looped around the horn, only two remained on its tail and fins.

Seven tug-of-war ropes couldn’t hold the utterly frenzied Unihorn Catfish, let alone the mere three that were left.

Even though most of its body was still on the bank, its violent struggles caused blood to pour from its wounds, staining the earth and the water’s surface, but it still didn’t stop.

The pain from its breaking horn told it one thing: if it didn’t escape now, certain death awaited!

Even if it was lucky enough to survive, losing its Perception and sense of direction would drastically reduce its power. It would be no different from being half-dead...

On its head, Chen Chong and Wang Biao were using all their strength. The muscles on their arms bulged like rocks as they heaved on the horn with the rope.

The cracking sound continued, growing louder and more distinct.

It seemed as if the horn might snap at any second, but it stubbornly held on!

Chen Chong was so furious he wanted to curse. ’How the fuck is this horn so tough!?’

BOOM!!!

The Unihorn Catfish was in the water.

The three remaining ropes snapped, including the one tied to the horn.

But what broke along with them...

...was the horn!

Wang Biao was thrown onto the bank.

Chen Chong, however, fell into the water, clutching the broken horn.

For a moment, no one could react.

It all happened so suddenly, so unexpectedly!

The horn wasn’t snapped by the tug-of-war rope; the Unihorn Catfish had torn it off itself.

After snapping all the ropes binding its body, the last rope on its head was no match for its strength.

But compared to the toughness of the rope, its horn, already gashed more than halfway through, was far more fragile.

As it leaped forcefully into the water, the horn tore away from its head along with the rope, falling into the water with Chen Chong...

But before anyone could react.

It was impossible to tell if it was premeditated or a frenzy brought on by the loss of its horn.

The instant the Unihorn Catfish hit the water, it didn’t flee. Instead, it rolled over, opened its gaping maw, and lunged for Chen Chong.

Still trying to get his bearings in the water, Chen Chong felt an intense sense of crisis wash over him.

His primal instincts flared...

Without a second thought, he swam hard to the side.

At that moment, the importance of Water Mastery became undeniably clear.

In the tributary, Chen Chong was like a fish in water. His speed and reaction time were several times faster than on land.

The Unihorn Catfish bit down on a chunk of the muddy bank. Seeing it had missed its target, it quickly turned and chased after Chen Chong again.

But without its horn, it could no longer sense the position of creatures in the water, nor could it tell which way it was facing.

It could only bite randomly, indiscriminately devouring everything in the water.

Even though Chen Chong had Water Mastery and was extremely fast, the narrow tributary was blocked by the Unihorn Catfish’s massive body. He could only swim toward the other end.

Seeing the Unihorn Catfish getting closer and closer, Chen Chong’s expression turned grim.

He had never imagined that the very place he chose to better hunt the Unihorn Catfish would end up becoming his death trap.

If the waterway wasn’t so narrow, there might have been enough room to maneuver around the Unihorn Catfish to the other side.

But now...

The Unihorn Catfish was already huge, and as it swam forward, its writhing body completely blocked the path.

As a catfish, its gaping maw was far larger than other fish, capable of swallowing prey nearly its own size.

And as an Extraordinary Creature, the Unihorn Catfish was not only massive but had an even bigger mouth!

It was chasing him with its mouth wide open, swallowing mud from the bank and every living thing in the water. He was sure that if he got any closer, he’d be swallowed whole.

If he rashly tried to squeeze through the tiny gaps on either side, the odds of swimming right into its mouth were probably higher.

Even if Water Mastery greatly enhanced his abilities, he was still no match for an Extraordinary Creature like the Unihorn Catfish.

Chen Chong’s advantage of being small and agile was completely nullified in the narrow tributary.

It was too fast. The distance between them was shrinking.

He’d be caught in less than two seconds and possibly bitten in half. ’There’s no escape either way,’ he thought. ’Might as well risk it all!’

With a flash of resolve, Chen Chong quickly changed direction...

And deliberately swam into the Unihorn Catfish’s mouth.

Just then, he broke the surface of the water, a move clearly seen by Zhong Fang, Xu Jun, Wang Biao, and the others on the bank.

Everyone froze, as if struck by lightning!

Chen Chong... was swallowed by the Unihorn Catfish!?
