The little loach passed by the ghost domain without even looking at it. From Juehu Village, follow the Mengjiang River down, and there are three more counties, and you will enter the famous Hushu area in the Great Wu Dynasty.
Adjacent to Huangshi County is Sanyang County, which is sparsely populated near the Mengjiang River. Sanyang County has a Yukou Town here, but it is very prosperous. There is a dock next to the Mengjiang River and the people are wealthy.
The little loach swam to Yukou Town in one breath, and a head popped up in the middle of the vast river. The waters around the town were very busy, with ships coming and going, and the docks were bustling with people. The ships on the Mengjiang River were all built very solidly, and those big ships also had arrays.
Law reinforcement.
People here are accustomed to huge and dangerous creatures in the water.
The little loach sank again and sniffed around in the water. Finally, his eyes lit up and he plunged in with all his might.
A shipwreck from an unknown number of years ago was half-buried at the bottom of the river. The ship was quite large, and the little loach crashed into it. The rotten cabins were broken layer by layer, and a little spiritual light was revealed inside.
It turned out to be a piece of spiritual jade embedded in the formation.
This ship was actually driven by formations and spiritual jade!
When this piece of spiritual jade sank, most of the energy of heaven and earth inside it had been consumed. As it sank in the water, it continued to accumulate. Its quality has actually improved to a certain extent compared to back then!
The little loach happily swallowed it in one gulp. When he turned around and came out, his tail hit a cargo box in the sunken ship. The box immediately shattered and fist-sized gold ingots rolled everywhere.
The little loach looked disgusted: This kind of metal often needs to be condensed many times before it can be barely used to make tools. It is really a waste-like thing. I really don’t know why those stupid humans would risk everything for it?
The little loach walked out of the sunken ship proudly and started looking around again.
There are many ships coming and going here, so naturally... there are also many shipwrecks.
The little loach found a piece of iron chain and pulled it out with anticipation, but underneath it was just a big iron anchor. It threw it away in disgust and swam away.
Without a big brother, hunting alone will not bring you much luck.
After wasting more than an hour, the little loach smashed a rock at the bottom of the water with its head. From the hole exposed behind, there was a faint alluring aroma. The little loach's eyes shone and its saliva flowed out uncontrollably.
Suddenly, with a swish, a shadow jumped out of the hole and swam more than ten feet away in an instant. The little loach turned around and chased after it. The scent was really tempting. As they chased each other, they ran away. In the middle of the chase, three fierce creatures came to snatch them, but they were all snatched by the little loach.
The loach snapped it in one arrogant bite.
…
Ah Chao is a boatman in Yukou Town. He was born and raised locally. He married his wife four years ago. Now his eldest daughter is three years old and his second son is just half a year old.
The main job of the boatmen in the town is to carry goods. Sometimes when there is a shortage of people on the boat, they can help out for a while. Although this kind of work makes more money than the boatmen, it is dangerous. Everyone knows that there are dangerous things in the Mangjiang River.
Today there is one person missing from Mr. Wang's boat. The captain asked Ah Chao to help him. He didn't want to go at first, but the captain said that this is a short trip, a two-hundred-mile waterway, and it only takes two or three days to go back and forth, and he can earn a lot of money.
Eight hundred dollars.
With one person to support a family of three, Ah Chao gritted his teeth and decided to do it.
It was indeed calm after the boat sailed. The bowman smiled and said to him: "The recent times have been good, and the number of dangerous animals around here has been reduced a lot for some reason."
"We are an iron-clad ship, so we are not afraid of ordinary dangers - don't worry, this journey will definitely be peaceful."
Ah Chao smiled innocently, thinking that with the 800 yuan, he could buy a cloth tiger toy for his son. He also bought the orchid cloth jacket that his eldest daughter had always wanted! There was still some money left over to buy a new pair of embroidered shoes for his wife.
.As for myself...just eat enough, grown men don't have to pay so much attention.
He felt happy in his heart and put more strength into his hand holding the pole.
But suddenly there was a black water line crossing the left side of the hull. Ah Chao was startled and raised his pennies to be on guard. The bowman laughed and said, "You're quite smart, kid."
"There's nothing we can do. We grew up by this water, and we all know what's in it!" After a false alarm, Ah Chao continued to row the boat.
But on the river in front of them, a wave of water half as tall as a man suddenly rose up, heading towards their boat. The wave rose higher and higher, and soon reached a height of more than ten feet. Then, from the top of the wave, a sudden
Ten huge dark red crab legs stretched out!
The edges are sharply jagged, the toes are as sharp as spears, and there are dark green cilia that look poisonous at first glance.
This armored cargo ship is completely unattractive. It can be cut in half with just one stick. Dozens of crab legs will cover it and the entire ship will be completely crushed!
Ah Chao dropped the pennies in his hand and his whole body became cold - no matter how good your water skills are, when you get to the Mengjiang River, you can only swim cautiously by the pier. At this distance, once you fall into the river, it is impossible to survive!
Ah Chao even knew it well, so he might as well hit him and let the beast cut him off from the waist and die. Once he fell into the water and was bitten and eaten by the beast, the process would be even more painful.
Achao raised his head and looked at the giant crab legs that were falling like death scythes. The faces of his relatives flashed in his mind. His daughter sweetly called daddy, his son's happy smile, and his wife's virtuous advice...
How can they survive without me?
Ah Chao regretted so much that he coveted the eight hundred dollars, but he wanted to be buried in this rolling river. He closed his eyes in despair and waited for death - those huge crab legs fell seven or eight feet above his head, with a violent meal.
It seemed like something was grabbing me from behind.
The water waves in front of the boat dispersed with a splash, revealing dozens of crab legs with chains inside. This thing was particularly weird, like a centipede cut lengthwise.
Those huge sickle crab legs all grow on one side of the body. There are six large saw-toothed mouths neatly arranged on the other side! I don’t know what this guy has eaten. The teeth have a metallic luster, they rub and collide with each other, and even pop out.
A string of sparks!
But now this huge monster is tightly entangled at both ends by two slender pale golden whiskers.
The monster claimed to be very powerful, but it didn't expect to be dragged down by two whiskers of something. It was also furious, abandoned the cargo ship, turned its huge body, and all the crab legs faced behind it, and the two pale whiskers
The owner of the golden beard is hidden under the water behind him!
puff!
The six large saw-toothed mouths spurted water backwards at the same time, pushing the entire body towards the target at high speed.
Ah Chao circled around the gate of hell and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch his forehead. He was dripping wet! The water sprayed by the monster once again set off huge waves. With a loud roar, their cargo ship was thrown high onto the top of the waves.
The boat almost capsized.
Others on the boat screamed in surprise, but Ah Chao remained silent, holding on to the side of the boat with both hands and staring at the river ahead.
He knew very well who saved his life!
Otherwise, in such a world, wives, daughters, and sons will starve to death, and the ending will be extremely miserable.
Chapter completed!
