Chapter 75 The desire for profit (third update)
"Sir!" Yun Nianying couldn't help but said: "Why is this necessary? The imperial court did not order us to explore Fenqiu. We just need to stop those greedy people and not cause any changes in Fenqiu."
"The golden-faced killing god said that they are powerful, let's..."
Cui Qinghe interrupted her displeasedly: "I don't believe what he said!"
Yun Nianying was stunned, and Cui Qinghe said: "It's just a bluff. Fenqiu is a very important matter. If you don't go in and take a look, I won't worry."
His "wholeheartedness" attitude makes Yun Nianying feel sick! Do you treat others as fools? But he is also a greedy person who covets the treasures and opportunities in Fenqiu!
Not only Fenqiu, but also the golden-faced killing god. His magical weapons are also priceless!
Yun Nianying even remembered that Cui Qinghe's family was engaged in the business of magical artifacts. Cui even supplied the standard magical artifacts of several counties in the Great Wu Dynasty, such as arrester's chains.
Yun Nianying guessed well that that kind of crossbow machine was Cui Qinghe's real purpose. As for Fenqiu, he didn't really intend to take risks.
But Cui Qinghe didn't know that all his reactions were exactly as Sun Changming expected!
Sun Changming collected the jade talisman and went to the Hunshui River to find his second brother, Little Loach, who has been guarding the Hunshui River until now.
Since last night, it has been full of anger, and another guy came to steal my snacks! Which one is intolerable?
But the eldest brother insisted on strictly not to act rashly. He said that this thief had a use for him.
What's the use of a thief? Isn't the only use of a thief is to beat people together to vent their anger?
This kind of creature should be beaten by everyone after getting it.
The little loach was bulging with energy, its gills rising and falling.
However, after the thief came last night, he did not act rashly, but lurked at the entrance of the Iron Gun Underground Palace.
Sun Changming and Xiao Niyi followed the thief last night and had a rough look at the current situation at the entrance.
The original giant turtle nest has all collapsed.
Only a half-covered cave entrance was left. Near the cave entrance, reed-like water plants grew. Different from the reeds on the river bank, a light blue electric light flashed around the leaves of this thing from time to time.
Sun Changming suspected that these water plants were connected together, and once the giant beast forced its way in, it would trigger thunder and lightning.
This is in the water. If an electric shock occurs, no one can escape.
So Sun Changming asked the little loach to keep watch on the shore. If the thief is struck by lightning, don't hurt him.
First it was the overlord giant tortoise, then it was the blood-sucking aquatic plant, and now it was this lightning aquatic plant - Sun Changming suspected that there were some intelligent beings in the Iron Spear Underground Palace, and deliberately made this arrangement to guard the door for himself.
When Sun Changming rushed over, he found that the little loach was only two miles away from the entrance, and its huge body was half-sunk in the mud at the bottom of the river. This guy probably thought that as long as it shrank into the mud, it wouldn't be able to shock it?
Sun Changming suddenly became angry and lectured the second child: I asked you to stay away, why are you disobedient?
The little loach was stubborn: It was too far and there was no time to catch up. What if this thief stole my snacks and ran away?
You bastard! Sun Changming cursed and didn't bother to explain to it. He possessed his soul and quietly approached the entrance.
This third-order monster beast flowing down the river is a giant crocodile!
The body is twenty feet long and extremely strong! The skin of the whole body is like a rock, with three rows of bone spurs growing out of the back, and there are faint signs of turning into an evil dragon.
It had been lying dozens of feet outside the cave entrance, its hazy eyes half-closed, observing the situation inside the cave entrance.
Those reed-like water plants seemed to sense a threat, and the flashing lights obviously increased.
Deep in the cave entrance, there was a faint spiritual light, as if something was lurking.
After Sun Changming saw it clearly, he quietly retreated, controlled the little loach, and climbed onto the shore from a distance.
"This giant crocodile is not simple."
"It should have seen that it is not easy to accumulate the thunder and lightning in those reeds, and it is likely that it can only be released once. But it must be very powerful. It is waiting for an opportunity to use other creatures to trigger a thunder wave, and then it can break into the cave entrance."
"But the underground palace seems to be prepared. Is the spiritual light inside that another gun aura?"
Sun Changming touched his chin and thought for a while, then patted the little loach beside him: "Don't worry, your snacks will not be in danger. Let's go to Mengjiang first."
The little loach refused, but it was too hungry, so Sun Changming coaxed and persuaded it and finally got it away.
The little loach went down the Mengjiang River, and Sun Changming slapped his forehead: "There is still one big thing to do today." He Shiran came to the gourd vine, and after a while, a crystal column of water irrigated it.
The gourds were about to collapse. Finally, one morning, this guy didn't come to cause trouble. The seven brothers were secretly cheering. This guy was finally tripped up by something, and he didn't need to be poisoned today.
As a result, it was almost noon, and this guy was still here!
There's no way to escape, there's no way to escape... The Calabash Brothers are in despair.
…
In the evening, the giant crocodile left the Muddy River and entered the Mengjiang River, where it began to look for the second-level monster.
But after searching this section of water, there was not a single second-level monster!
Of course it couldn't be found. Throughout the whole day, Sun Changming took the little loach and hunted the second-order monsters in this section of the Mengjiang River thoroughly.
The little loaches were all full.
However, the third-level monsters and giant crocodiles cannot be fully controlled.
It requires a second-level monster to detonate lightning strikes.
Sun Changming returned home peacefully.
…
That night, at Chen Baihu's place, batches of iron plaques to ward off evil were successfully made, and one was given to everyone. Everyone hung it on their chests, and everything was ready.
After dawn, everyone in Chaotiansi had breakfast and came to the entrance of the village to wait.
When Sun Changming came over, he saw that they had all entered the village and couldn't help but smile secretly.
"Youxi captain Sun Changming listens to the order!"
Sun Changming was very cooperative and stepped forward to clasp his fists: "The bid is here!"
"Lead the way and go straight to Fenqiu!"
"yes!"
Several people from hundreds of families, fully clothed in robes, accompanied by hundreds of captains, guarded Cui Qinghe, going to Fenqiu in a mighty and majestic manner. Other people in the village saw them on the way and were so scared that they ran away.
Fourth Uncle Yao and the others were hiding behind the tree, looking at Sun Changming worriedly, lamenting in their hearts: What trouble has this child gotten into again? Alas...
This time, Cui Qinghe was extra calm and led his team to wander outside Fenqiu, but did not cross the boundary.
After noon, Cui Qinghe basically grasped the general situation of Fenqiu, and said with a solemn expression: "Sun Changming, go and invite the golden-faced killing god out. I want to have a talk with him."
"Yes." Sun Changming accepted the order and went to Fenqiu's area. In front of him was the boundary drawn by the golden-faced killing god yesterday.
From behind, Cui Qinghe looked at the hundreds of households under his command. Zhao Huai and others nodded and were ready.
Sun Changming stood in front of the boundary, tentatively stretched out one foot, and then withdrew it again.
Swish——
A crossbow arrow was shot at the location where he had just crossed the border - the crossbow arrow was shot from the woods. This was the only forest in the bare Fenqiu, but it was extremely dense.
Chapter completed!
