Chapter 22 Repaying Grievance with Virtue
Sun Changming decided to communicate with Little Loach. You see you already have sword pills. I am still using this little bone dagger. Should I upgrade it?
The little loach ignored him and swam away by himself.
In the Mengjiang River, Sun Changming did not dare to stray too far from the little loach and hurriedly followed him.
Under the vast and turbulent Mangjiang River, there are all kinds of strange and dangerous creatures living.
For example, there is a kind of vicious creature that is half fish and half eel. Each one is only two feet long, but the number is extremely large and the actions are uniform. Just like the piranhas in Sun Changming's previous life, no matter what kind of prey falls into their mouths,
It will also be chewed up in an instant until only the bones are left.
Those powerful monsters must also take a detour when encountering them.
However, as soon as such a group of unscrupulous beasts saw the small loach appearing in the water, they all immediately changed direction and retreated in a tacit understanding!
Sun Changming was a little worried at first, but he spit out a bunch of bubbles when he saw this scene.
But immediately after, the little loach looked like an arrow...it couldn't be called an arrow now, after all, it had gained weight.
Large torpedo - the little loach rushed forward and charged directly at the crocodile eels!
"Hey - come back!" Sun Changming didn't shout out, just beeped...
After the little loach rushed in, the entire group of crocodile eels exploded, and they were scurrying around one by one. The little loach took one bite from left to right, and after eating dozens of them, it lazily stopped chasing.
Unappetizing.
After all, they rely on the strength of their numbers to dominate, and each one can provide very little supplement to the little loach.
It always feels like something is stuck between my teeth.
So the little loach came back with its tail wagging, and rubbed itself in front of Sun Changming: Look, I am more obedient, and I will come back as soon as you ask me to.
Sun Changming was too lazy to pay attention to it and began to search for the body seriously. He didn't know if it was really in this water area.
The search area continued to expand, and the little loach had swam from one side of the Mengjiang River to the other side, searching back and forth like a net. We encountered several monster beasts, but there was no body.
No matter what kind of corpse it is, it will be eaten up quickly in the Mengjiang River.
Sun Changming frowned secretly. The people in Chaotiansi were very sure, but... could they have really been eaten?
He expanded the search scope again, taking the intersection of Mengjiang River and Hunshui River as the center line, and continuously expanded upstream and downstream.
…
On the river bank, Zhang Jihu said indifferently to Fourth Uncle Yao beside him: "Half an hour has passed."
Fourth Uncle Yao kept staring at Meng Jiang closely without reacting: "What's wrong?"
Zhang Jihu turned to Yun Nianying and others behind the jade talisman and said: "Sun Changming is dead, we still have to do this work."
A thunderclap sounded in Yun Nianying's ears: He is dead?!
Boss Qi also sighed: "What a pity, that kid is pretty good."
He also explained for Zhang Jihu: "The evil energy manifested as cold poison near Juehu Village, and the river water became even colder. No pearl diver can stay underwater for half an hour without coming out."
Su Youyou was silent for a moment and said: "Find a way to take his sister out and place her in Dingbo Mansion...forget it, I will take her home myself."
Fourth Uncle Yao's eyes were red and his Adam's apple twitched a few times, but he said nothing. He wanted to refute Zhang Jihu, but he also knew very well that no one could persist in the river for such a long time.
Not even the Mingshui River, let alone the Mengjiang River.
Su Youyou said to Zhang Jihu: "As you said, I will leave the rest to you. Be careful and don't show off."
Zhang Jihu smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Guan, I will go down now."
Zhang Jihu moved his body and made preparations, then took out some wine that he had treasured for a long time, drank it all and jumped into the water.
This was Zhang Jihu's second time going down to the Mengjiang River. It was precisely because of his first experience that he understood how terrifying the Mengjiang River was.
He kept swimming along the shore, not daring to go too far.
He could hold on for two-quarters of an hour in the Muddy River, but in the Mengjiang River, he had to go ashore in less than a quarter of an hour.
A bonfire had long been lit on the shore, and his companions immediately helped him dry himself, wrapped himself in a torn quilt, and sat by the bonfire.
Half an hour later, Zhang Jihu, who had regained his composure, entered the water for the second time.
When the sun was about to set, Zhang Jihu, who had found nothing, was still unwilling to give up and gritted his teeth and entered the water for the third time.
This time, he had to leave the area near the river bank and swim a few dozen feet toward the center of the river. Suddenly, he felt a pain in the sole of his foot, and a strong sense of numbness spread throughout his body in an instant.
He reluctantly looked down and saw a slender thorn piercing the sole of his foot.
The mud at the bottom of the river stirred, and a strange monster emerged. It had a huge shell covered with spikes on its head, and slender jellyfish-like tentacles protruded from the bottom. The end of the tentacles was
This sting.
Three pairs of dark eyes opened on the octopus-like soft body, staring at Zhang Jihu as he swam towards him, opening his mouth like a huge black hole, with circles of barbs and sharp teeth growing inside!
Zhang Jihu was extremely desperate. He knew what kind of miserable end he would have. This monster would start to devour him from his lower body. Those densely packed barbs and sharp teeth would chew up his feet and legs bit by bit.
Eat upward.
I can't move, but I can clearly feel this horrific death process.
Sure enough, is this the final destination of all pearl divers...
Zhang Jihu watched helplessly as the black hole-like mouth gradually approached him. His feet had already fallen into it and the mouth was closing.
But suddenly, the monster beast trembled all over and retreated quickly. Then the mud and sand at the bottom of the river were lifted up, making the surrounding area turbid.
Zhang Jihu saw that there seemed to be some other huge monster attacking the monster from behind. The two giant beasts were fighting in the water.
But Zhang Jihu didn't feel like he was saved. He was poisoned and couldn't move. No matter which of the two monsters won, he would end up as a snack to go with the meal.
A flexible figure suddenly swam over, waved the dagger in his hand, cut off the thorn, then twisted his whole body like a living fish, dragging himself towards the shore quickly.
Zhang Jihu could no longer hold his breath, and he kept spitting bubbles after being poisoned.
Fortunately, he was not far from the river bank. After the other party dragged him ashore, he turned him upside down and punched his stomach hard. Zhang Jihu passively vomited out a lot of river water.
"Changming!" Fourth Uncle Yao's surprised voice sounded, and Zhang Jihu was surprised: Was it Sun Changming who saved him?
Under the water, his whole body was already stiff and he could not turn his head to see the person clearly.
But how long has it been since he entered the water? And he is still alive? This... is incredible.
In the small building at the entrance of the village, Yun Nianying kept her head down. Suddenly she heard someone calling Sun Changming's name. She subconsciously looked up and rubbed her eyes. It was not a mistake. It was really that kid!
Bastard!
What have you been doing for so long? Why don't you show up? I thought I killed you.
Although there were some complaints, Yun Nianying felt relaxed in her heart, having been relieved of a heavy burden.
