Reaching out and taking out the remaining one hundred yuan, Zhuo Yun smiled bitterly.
The determination is good, but it is not easy to earn more than 1,000 yuan in rent in seven days.
After pondering on the spot for a long time, he couldn't find any good solution. He couldn't help but glance at the well-behaved Black Turtle next to him.
Suddenly a flash of light flashed through his mind, and Zhuo Yun's originally gloomy expression immediately cheered up.
He remembered seeing a report a few months ago, saying that someone salvaged an antique from the Qing Dynasty in the canal on the outskirts of Z City. At that time, the antique was sold for more than 100,000 yuan, causing a great stir in the entire Z City.
The sensation attracted many people to go to the canal to look for antiques. Unfortunately, no one else found treasures in it, and the matter gradually faded away.
"Now I can possess the Black Turtle, and I can completely control the Black Turtle to search for antiques in the canal. Maybe I can really find one or two priceless treasures. In this way, I can not only pay the rent, but also earn a fortune.
Windfall." Thinking of this, Zhuo Yun couldn't wait.
Although this matter may not necessarily succeed, for him now, if there is a chance, he will never let it go.
After tidying up the living room, Zhuo Yun left the community with Xuangui and used the remaining 100 yuan to drive to the outskirts of City Z.
Looking at the rolling canal water, he felt a little excited. City Z itself is a seaside city. This canal is directly connected to the ocean. It is said that it was a river used by the Qing Dynasty to transport porcelain and other things abroad. This is why it attracted many people in the first place.
One of the reasons why people hunt for treasure.
"Once possessed, my body will turn into a vegetative state. I have to find a safe place." After thinking about it, Zhuo Yun put the black turtle into the canal water, and he found a nearby one that cost 20 yuan a day.
Stayed in a cheap hotel.
Locking the door and lying on the bed with his eyes closed, Zhuo Yun thought about himself possessing the black turtle. Driven by his thoughts, his consciousness fell into a brief void like a space jump.
If a doctor makes a diagnosis at this moment, he will find that Zhuo Yun, who was alive and well just now, has suddenly dropped to critical points, and even his breathing and heartbeat have become abnormally slow.
In the water of the canal, a little turtle with red eyes twisted its head and looked around curiously, its eyes full of excitement and excitement.
"Haha, it worked. It's great." Zhuo Yun thought excitedly as he waved his limbs and swam twice in the water.
Being in the canal and river, Zhuo Yun, who was possessed by the black turtle, did not feel any discomfort at all. Instead, he felt more comfortable and carefree than on land. He instinctively liked the feeling of being in the water.
"It seems that the black turtle is a water turtle, so I will be more confident about my treasure hunt." Zhuo Yun, who was in an excited mood, paddled the water and swam quickly towards the bottom of the canal.
I don't know if it is because of the mutation of the black turtle, but the swimming speed of the black turtle in the water is much faster than that of ordinary turtles. If someone looks at it, they will only see a black shadow flashing past quickly.
After years of treatment, the water in the canal is not too turbid. With his mutated eyesight, Zhuo Yun can see clearly what's going on in the water through the eyes of the black turtle.
Fish and shrimps in the canal swam past Zhuo Yun. They were not too curious about the strange turtle that appeared.
"This feeling is like coming to an underwater aquarium." Zhuo Yun sighed secretly in his heart, while diving down, watching the surrounding scenery.
After diving for more than twenty meters, the bottom of the canal covered with water plants finally appeared in his sight.
The bottom of the canal is very messy and overgrown with aquatic plants, which makes treasure hunting virtually difficult.
After calming down his novel mood, Zhuo Yun began to concentrate on walking through the water plants, looking for possible treasures at the bottom of the river.
The treasure was harder to find than expected. After searching for more than an hour, I only found some broken ceramic shards. Even the porcelain that was once valuable was now worthless.
"Damn it, is it possible that there are no antiques in this canal? Someone deliberately fabricated it." Wandering at the bottom of the river, Zhuo Yun lost the excitement and curiosity he had at the beginning.
"Am I going to ask my parents for money again? No, I'm an adult now, how can I continue to be supported by my parents?"
Thinking of the white hair on his parents' heads when he returned home during the Chinese New Year, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
His parents raised him, and they frugally trained him to become a college student. He, Zhuo Yun, could never let his parents worry about him anymore. Thinking of this, he secretly felt cruel and continued to search for treasures at the bottom of the canal.
In the blink of an eye, another two hours passed. In three hours, he searched for almost ten miles of canals, but unfortunately found nothing.
"Hey, it seems that there are really no treasures in this canal." Zhuo Yun sighed dejectedly, possessing the black turtle and preparing to return to the canal.
Just as he was about to leave, a flash of light flashed in the corner of his eye, and the sudden light immediately attracted his attention.
Although it is daytime outside, the bottom of the canal is still relatively dark, and this kind of flash should not appear in a place like this.
"Could it be that there is some treasure radiating light?" Thinking of this possibility, Zhuo Yun's discouraged mood was once again injected with a little motivation.
Of course, he also knew that it was possible that the light emitted was a mirror or something, but he would never give up until he took a look.
"Hiss!!" A sharp hiss suddenly sounded, and Zhuo Yun, who was charging forward, immediately stopped and looked forward.
Ten meters ahead, at the bottom of the river, a ferocious-looking, circling anaconda was looking at him eagerly.
This anaconda was covered in patterns all over its body. Even though its body was entangled, Zhuo Yun could tell that it was at least five or six meters long, and its pair of snake eyes like night pearls were full of cold killing intent.
"What a ferocious anaconda." He exclaimed secretly in his heart, Zhuo Yun looked filled with anger.
The flickering light flashed again. Zhuo Yun looked intently and saw a crystal clear jade vase revealed in the middle of the anaconda's hovering body. The flickering light was the sunlight shining through the river water onto the jade vase.
The light reflected.
"Antique, treasure!" These two words burst out in Zhuo Yun's heart, and he became excited.
After searching at the bottom of the river for more than three hours, he had already lost some confidence, but now he saw hope.
Facing the temptation of the jade bottle, Zhuo Yun's fear of the anaconda disappeared. Now he had to give it a try, otherwise he would have to drink the northwest wind in the future.
"Hiss!!"
As soon as Zhuo Yun paddled the water towards the front, the vigilant anaconda immediately let out a sharp hiss and swung its tail in a warning motion.
"Come on, I'm not afraid of you. I will fight with you today for my antique jade bottle." I shouted in my heart, regardless of whether the anaconda knew it or not, and gave it a middle finger.
Perhaps sensing the provocation from Zhuo Yun, the anaconda that was originally wrapped around the jade bottle slowly let go of its body, placed the jade bottle among the water plants next to it, and rushed towards Zhuo Yun with a fierce look on its face.
"Well done!"
Suppressing the nervous and excited emotions in his heart, Zhuo Yun waved his right front paw and slapped the head of the python that rushed up.
"Bump!" The water flowed. Under the impact of the python, the black turtle possessed by Zhuo Yun did some somersaults in the water.
Stabilizing his figure while paddling his limbs, Zhuo Yun stared straight ahead with a solemn expression at the anaconda who had also just stabilized his figure.
"Hiss!!"
The anaconda stammered in pain, and streams of blood flowed from its head. Stimulated by the blood, the anaconda let out a violent hiss, and its cold snake eyes were filled with violent killing intent.
The ferocious-looking anaconda suddenly violently waved its five- to six-meter-long body, creating a chaotic flow of water. The originally clear river water immediately turned turbid.
"Cunning anaconda." Zhuo Yun was secretly vigilant. The turbid river water made it impossible for him to lock onto the anaconda's body.
"Whoosh!"
A black shadow broke through the water flow like an arrow and appeared beside Zhuo Yun in the blink of an eye.
"Look at my invincible bone-shrinking skills." Zhuo Yun, who had been prepared for a long time, decisively shrank his head and limbs and hid completely in the hard turtle shell.
"Bump!!" The thick snake tail hit the turtle shell, sending him flying out.
He shook his dizzy head in the turtle shell. Just when Zhuo Yun wanted to fight back, a strong binding force wrapped around the black turtle he possessed.
Glancing outside through the turtle shell, he happened to meet the cold eyes of the python. The erect eyes of the snake revealed the pride of a successful hunt.
"Kakaka!"
The piercing sound rang out in the river. Under the strong contraction of the anaconda's body, Zhuo Yun could feel the turtle shell gradually deforming, and the crisis of death came to his mind.
The tortoise's armor is very hard, but it is not indestructible, especially since the black tortoise is only a small turtle. Although it mutates under the electric shock, the strength of the tortoise shell is also limited.
