Chapter 22: retaliate with virtue
Sun Changming decided to communicate with Xiao Loach. You see, you already have sword pills. I'm 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 didn't dare to get too far from the little loach, so he hurriedly followed.
Under the vast and turbulent Rogue River, there are all kinds of strange and vicious creatures living.
For example, a half fish and half eel, each one is only two feet long, but the number is extremely large, and the actions are unified, just like the piranhas of Sun Changming's previous life, no matter what kind of prey falls into their mouths, It will also be gnawed to the bones in an instant.
When those powerful monsters meet, they have to take a detour.
However, when such a group of unscrupulous beasts saw a small loach appear in the water, they immediately turned their direction in a tacit understanding and retreated!
Sun Changming was a little worried at first, but when he saw this scene, he spit out a bunch of bubbles.
But following closely, the little loach is like an arrow... It can't be called an arrow now, after all, it's fat.
The large torpedo - the little loach rushed up and went straight to the crocodile eel!
"Hey—you come back!" Sun Changming didn't shout, he grumbled...
After the little loach rushed in, the whole swarm of crocodile eels were fried and scurried everywhere. The little loach took a bite from the left and the right, and after eating dozens of them in a row, he didn't want to chase after him lazily.
Unappetizing.
After all, they rely on a large number of people to run amuck and domineering, and each one can provide little supplements for the little loach.
It always feels a little bit stuck between the teeth.
So the little loach came back wagging its tail, and rubbed in front of Sun Changming: Look, I'm more obedient, you'll come back if you let me.
Sun Changming was too lazy to pay attention to it, and began to search for the body seriously, not knowing if it was really in this body of water.
The search scope continued to expand, and the little loach had swam from one side of the Mengjiang River to the other, searching back and forth like a net. The monsters encountered several, but not a single corpse.
No matter what kind of corpse it is, it will be quickly eaten up in the Mengjiang River.
Sun Changming frowned secretly, the people from Chaotiansi were very sure, but...would they really have been eaten?
He expanded the search range again, taking the intersection of the Mengjiang River and the Munshui River as the center line, and continued to expand upstream and downstream.
…
On the river bank, Zhang Jihu said indifferently to Fourth Uncle Yao, "Half an hour has passed."
Fourth Uncle Yao kept staring at Mengjiang, but did not respond: "What's the matter?"
Zhang Jihu turned to Yun Nianying and the others behind the jade talisman, and said, "Sun Changming is already dead, we have to do this work."
A thunderclap sounded in Yun Nianying's ear: Is he dead? !
Boss Qi also sighed, "It's a pity, that kid is not bad."
He also explained for Zhang Jihu: "The evil energy has manifested as cold poison near the village of Juehu, and the river water is even colder. There is no pearl plucker who can't come out underwater for half an hour."
Su Youyou was silent for a moment, then said, "Find a way to pick up his sister and put her in the Dingbo Mansion... Forget it, I'll take it home myself."
Fourth Uncle Yao's eyes were red, and his Adam's apple moved a few times, but he didn't say anything. He wanted to refute Zhang Jihu, but he also knew very well that no one could last in the river for so long.
Not even Muddy Rivers, let alone Mengjiang.
Su Youyou said to Zhang Jihu, "Just as you said, I'll leave the rest to you. Be careful and don't be arrogant."
Zhang Jihu smiled: "Master Xie, I'll go down now."
Zhang Jihu moved his body, made preparations, then took out a little wine that he had kept for a long time, drank it all, and jumped into the water.
This is Zhang Jihu's second trip down the Mangjiang River. It is precisely because of his first experience that he understands how scary Mangjiang is.
He has been swimming along the shore, daring not to get too far.
In the Muddy River, he could hold on for two quarters of an hour, but in the Mengjiang River, he had to go ashore in less than a quarter of an hour.
A bonfire had already been raised on the shore, and his companions immediately helped him dry off, wrapped in a tattered quilt, and sat by the bonfire.
After half an hour, Zhang Jihu, who had recovered his strength, went into the water for the second time.
In this way, when the sun was about to go down, Zhang Jihu, who had nothing to gain, was still not reconciled, and gritted his teeth and went into the water for the third time.
This time, he had to leave the area near the river bank and swam several dozen feet toward the heart of the river. Suddenly, he felt a pain in the soles of his feet, and a strong numbness spread all over his body in an instant.
He reluctantly looked down, and a slender thorn was stuck on the sole of his foot.
The sediment at the bottom of the river moved, and a strange monster came out. Its head was covered with a huge snail shell covered with spikes, and slender tentacles like jellyfish protruded from below. At the end of the tentacles, it was This stinger.
On the octopus-like soft body, three pairs of pitch-black eyes opened, staring at Zhang Jihu and swimming towards him, opening a big mouth towards him, like a huge black hole with a circle of barbs and sharp teeth in it!
Zhang Jihu is extremely desperate. He knows what kind of tragic end he will have. This monster will start to devour himself from his lower body. Those dense barbs and sharp teeth will chew his feet, legs, and a little bit. Eat up.
He couldn't move, but he could clearly feel this terrifying death process.
Sure enough, is this the final destination of all pearl divers...
Zhang Jihu watched helplessly, the big mouth like a black hole, UU reading www.uukanshu.com gradually getting closer to him, his feet were already in it, and the big mouth was closing.
But all of a sudden, the monster beast shivered and quickly retreated, and then the sand at the bottom of the river was lifted up, and the surroundings were cloudy.
Zhang Jihu saw that there seemed to be some other huge monster attacking the monster from behind, and the two giant beasts fought in the water.
But Zhang Jihu didn't think he was saved. He was poisoned and couldn't move. No matter which one of these two monsters won, he was also the dessert in the end.
A nimble figure suddenly swam over, waved the dagger in his hand, cut off the thorn whisker, then twisted his body like a live fish, dragging himself to the shore quickly.
Zhang Jihu couldn't hold his breath anymore. After being poisoned, he kept blowing bubbles.
Fortunately, he was not far from the river bank. When the other party dragged him ashore, he turned him upside down and punched him in the stomach. Zhang Jihu passively spat out a lot of water.
"Changming!" Uncle Yao's surprised voice sounded, and Zhang Jihu was surprised: Did Sun Changming save him?
Under the water, his whole body was stiff, and he couldn't turn his head to see who was coming.
But how long has he been in the water? Still alive? It's... unbelievable.
In the small building at the entrance of the village, Yun Nianying kept her head down, when she suddenly heard someone calling Sun Changming's name, she looked up subconsciously, and then rubbed her eyes, it wasn't that she was wrong, it was really that kid!
You bastard!
What have you been doing for so long? After all, you showed up. I thought I killed you.
Although there are some complaints, Yun Nianying's heart is full of relief, and a certain burden has been lifted.
Su Youyou asked curiously, "This little guy is still alive?"
