The data showed that there weren't any formidable life forms here, nor were there any in the lake.
It was uncertain whether the bait provided by Ye Zhongming was exceptional or if the fiz fish, measuring over a meter long and weighing fifty to sixty pounds, were just easy to catch. Within two hours, each person had averaged catching over thirty of them; with more than ninety people, they had caught nearly three thousand fish. This was despite the efficiency slowing down in the last half hour, possibly because the fish had been nearly fished out, otherwise, there would have been even more.
Ye Zhongming gathered all the fish and informed everyone that it was time to return, then he dove into Mountain Rage with the fish while letting the mechanical battle beast follow the others.
Ye Zhongming certainly didn't come here just to fish. In the planet hunting grounds... it was truly in line with what he'd heard on Earth: every minute could be worth hundreds of thousands!
Two hours, plus nearly ten hours for the round trip, he wouldn’t have the leisure for that.
The reason he needed these fish was, of course, vital. The bones of this fish were a material he required, extremely precious.
Others might not understand the extent of its value, but Ye Zhongming, as a top-tier craftsman, certainly did.
When making protective gear, using treated fiz fish bones meant the difference between ordinary and premium products!
This single point was enough to make Ye Zhongming excited.
Of course, this didn’t mean that incorporating fiz fish bones would necessarily enhance quality; many factors were also involved. But Ye Zhongming believed that with time and improvement in his skills, having this material would allow him to create exquisite items!
Besides fish bones, the floats from the fiz fish were medicinal materials too, but they weren't as precious, and there were many substitutes.
The reason Ye Zhongming brought everyone here today was for an even bigger purpose, but it was inconvenient to mention it now.

In the command center of the Alliance of Small Races, the two leaders of the Star Eye Clan sat in the main seats, their faces hidden behind masks.
The commander of the third army, Leona, the commander of the fourth army, Dodo, along with their respective aides, logistics officers, and military achievement statisticians were all present.
There were only a few hours left until the first army and second army returned, but the results had made the two leaders of the Star Eye Clan feel a bit awkward.
Under the leadership of Chen Ning, the leader of the Abel Clan, the second army had indeed achieved remarkable results. They not only won a battle on the first day, annihilating over twenty thousand mutated life forms, but continued to reap many more victories, eliminating six groups of mutated life forms, each over five thousand strong, and countless more exceeding three thousand. Just an hour ago, they reported another victory, having wiped out a group of around fifteen thousand pond ox beasts after three hours of fierce battle.
These mutated life forms were incredibly valuable, with every part being useful, from bones to skin, horns to tails, and blood to internal organs, even the meat was precious. Each one was roughly estimated to be worth over a thousand years gold, meaning fifteen thousand of them equated to fifteen million years gold.
With such a large quantity, many powerful pond ox beasts were likely included. Their bodies could produce a gelatinous substance known as "pond ox age," which was the essence of their strength. Consuming it could result in a permanent increase in power, possibly around ten percent if the amount was sufficient!
This was an extremely terrifying figure.
The value of the pond ox age was measured in grams, with each gram costing hundreds of years gold.
Normally, from over fifteen thousand pond ox beasts, hundreds would produce pond ox age, possibly around four hundred grams, and about a hundred kilograms worth.
