Chapter 25 Taking You as Bait
Old Shen led Li Qingniu and the little slave through the town and walked straight to the Moon Lake in the west.Li Qingniu waved the iron sword in his hand a few times, curious and excited.

"Old Shen, tell me quickly, what chance do you have of getting rich by bringing me here?"

Old Shen intentionally teased him, and looked at Li Qingniu pretending to be sad.

"Boy! I'm going to use you two as bait for fishing!"

"What? Bait?"

"Just let the two of you be the bait to catch the fish in Wangyuetan!"

After Li Qingniu confirmed it, he quickly stepped back and pointed his sword at Old Shen to question him.

"Old Shen, are you kidding me? How can we two living beings be used as bait!"

Old Shen saw that he was looking at the two of them deliberately with a fierce look on his face.

"Who says it can't be done, chop it up, chop it up, it's fine if you don't!"

Li Qingniu stared at Old Shen with his left hand but blocked the little slave behind him, looking at Old Shen nervously.

"Old Shen, it's in vain that I trust you so much, I didn't expect you to think of harming me!"

Lao Shen looked at Li Qingniu who was trembling with fear but still protecting the little slave and couldn't help but praise.

"Not bad! I didn't expect you to be chivalrous in the face of life and death! I really like you a little bit! Okay, okay, just kidding!"

When Li Qingniu heard that Lao Shen was deliberately teasing him, at first he thought it was okay, if it was true, then I might die without a life, and then he pretended to be angry.

"Old Shen, you are so unjust, you almost scared me to death! I am angry, hum!"

After all, he took the little slave and left.Lao Shen quickly persuaded Li Qingniu to tell his real purpose!
It turned out that when Deacon Mu came to the restaurant in the small town, he heard from a local that there was a kind of big fish in the Moon Lake, with a dark body, hiding in the deep pool all the year round, and sneaking out of the water every night when the moon was full. Suck moonlight.Legend has it that mortals can prolong their life if they eat it, and even warriors can break through bottlenecks if they eat it.

Everyone didn't care at all, but the master Pu Shan said that this should be "Xuanyue fish", it is indeed a strange thing, and it will be of great help to warriors.When Luo Wushuang heard that he could break through the bottleneck, he also became interested, and wanted to see if there was really Xuanyueyu.

Luo Wushuang is already a master of the sixth rank, and his perception ability is supernatural. After some investigation, he did find that there was a foreign body at the bottom of the deep pool. However, Xuan Yueyu seemed to feel Luo Wushuang's breath. As soon as the captain approached the pool, he would quickly Dive to the depths.

Just when everyone didn't know what to do, the master said that he had seen in ancient books that this Xuanyue fish was born by sucking the cold air all the year round, and it likes the blood of boys in childhood...

So everyone thought of Li Qingniu!Hearing this, Li Qingniu stopped again.

"Old Shen, the blood of a boy in childhood? Don't you want to use my blood as bait?"

Old Shen didn't know whether to laugh or cry and continued to explain.

"There must be some blood, but don't worry, just a little as an introduction. The most important thing is to let you two childhood boys go to the pool to attract the Xuanyue fish. As long as it comes out of the water, we can catch it. Stop him!"

Seeing that Li Qingniu still had some disbelief, Lao Shen pretended to be sorry and sighed.

"Hey! It's not in vain to use this as a bait. It seems that this is five gold coins as a reward. I can only find other people! Although this young man is hard to find, I still want to inquire about it in the town. I can find it!"

When Li Qingniu heard that he had five gold coins, he was just being a bait to let some blood out, this business is worth it no matter what!Immediately said firmly.

"Old Shen, it's getting late now, it's too much trouble to find the boy now, I promise to be your bait!"

"Hahaha, boy! Then why bother! Let's go, don't worry, we have so many masters guarding you, there will be no accidents."

Lao Shen took Li Qingniu and the little slave along a path not far away, and through the bright moonlight, he saw Deacon Mu and Luo Wushuang a hundred steps away from the edge of the pool.Lao Shen signaled to Li Qingniu to silence, and then led the two of them to move on.

Under the bright moonlight, the surface of the water more than thirty feet wide is not so much a pool as a lake.The mountains and the moon in the distance are reflected on the lake at the same time, just like a huge rhino looking up at the moon.

Although the gold coins were very attractive, Li Qingniu felt a little nervous when he saw the crowd. On the contrary, the little slave seemed to be fearless and followed Li Qingniu quietly.

When he got closer, Deacon Mu asked in a low voice, "Have you explained everything clearly?"

Old Shen nodded, then looked at Luo Wushuang, who also nodded.The guards recruited before had already ambushed around Moon Lake, while Luo Wushuang jumped and hid on a boulder. Although the distance was the farthest, with the speed of a sixth-rank expert, he could reach it in just a few breaths. water surface.

Li Qingniu and the little slave, led by the master, walked to a temporary extended plank road beside the water pool.First pour more than ten altars of spirits into the pool, then lightly cut the fingers of the two with a knife, the bright blood dripped into the pool, smudged.

Originally, Li Qingniu and the little slave were at one end of the plank road, five or six feet apart, but when Li Qingniu saw his own blood dripping on the lake, a dangerous breath came over him, and he seemed to sense something moving underwater.So he went to wave to the little slave, gesturing him to come over, but the little slave stood blankly on the other side of the plank road, as if fascinated by the movement under the water.

Seeing that Li Qingniu didn't respond to the gesture for a while, he had to tiptoe towards the little slave.Just as he was about to pull the little slave with his hands, he saw a huge black shadow swimming past in the reflection.Li Qingniu was so frightened that he didn't care about the task, so he grabbed the little slave and rushed towards the shore.

Old Shen in the distance saw Li Qingniu running back in such a hurry, thinking that it seemed dangerous.I also ignored the task of catching fish and went straight to the plank road.

When Li Qingniu dragged the little slave to run halfway, a giant fish nearly one foot rushed out of the lake, only to see black shadows covering the moon, and the water in the pool was like tilting, forming waves and rushing towards the surroundings.But instead of rushing to Li Qingniu and others, he swam quickly towards the water outlet.

Li Qingniu's eyes went dark, and he stumbled on the plank road. Before he could breathe out the pain, he felt his back sink, and the dazed little slave just fell on Li Qingniu's back.

At this moment, I saw several white lights criss-crossing all around, and a little cold light pierced the sky from a high place.

Li Qingniu pushed away the little slave on his back, turned around with difficulty, but saw Luo Wushuang standing on the plank road, with a spear in his hand piercing the back of the fish, how handsome!
Li Qingniu just wanted to praise a few words, but heard a loud bang, the giant fish fell, almost collapsing the plank road, the huge tail was still slapping the plank road, the simple plank road that was originally built temporarily was on the verge of collapsing.

Luo Wushuang turned her head to stare at Li Qingniu and the little slave who had just got up on the plank road and reminded them.

"Why don't you go quickly?"

At this time, Old Shen also came galloping, and the two of them retreated to the shore within a few breaths.Confess.

"Don't move!"

He jumped onto the plank road with the others.The master Pushan walked on the plank road, looked at the big fish that had been hit by two silver marks and killed by one shot, and was amazed.

"It really is Xuanyueyu. Judging by its shape, it may be 500 years old!"

"This fish can live for 500 years?"

The master proudly introduced the few remaining goatee.

"According to ancient books, this Xuanyue fish usually lives in the deep pool of Lingquan. Because it feeds on the cold air all the year round, it grows slowly. It is said that after a thousand years, it will be able to survive the catastrophe and become a dragon, hey!"

"Huh what? Is there a problem?"

Deacon Mu asked, and the rest of the people also looked at the master with curiosity.

The master looked at Luo Wushuang suspiciously: "Supposedly, even with the strength of your sixth-rank warrior, the captain, it wouldn't be so easy to kill this fish?"

When everyone heard this, they were puzzled when Li Qingniu on the shore suddenly shouted.

"Look in the water!"
