Chapter 26 No fish scales left

Just when everyone was wondering why it was so easy to catch the Xuanyue fish for nearly 500 years, Li Qingniu in the distance felt a bigger black shadow hovering in the depths of the pool and cried out urgently.

"There's something coming up in the water!"

Luo Wushuang lowered his head and felt a sense of crisis when he heard the words!It was too late to wonder why Li Qingniu was able to see something strange in the water before all the experts noticed it.However, a vortex of nearly three feet was born on the entire pool surface, and it was spinning faster and faster.

Seeing this, Lao Shen first looked at Li Qingniu and the two, and decided to send them away first, so he moved to Li Qingniu in twos and twos, pulling them up one by one and running into the town.

Li Qingniu only felt the buzzing in his ears, his feet couldn't touch the ground, and he arrived at the intersection of the town in a short while.

But the people who stayed by the pool didn't care about the departure of these three people, they just quickly retreated to the shore to be vigilant.

Not long after, the vortex on the water surface became bigger and bigger, and a huge suction force suddenly emerged from the vortex, sucking the killed Xuanyue fish and the wooden plank into the vortex.

Just when everyone thought that another big guy was about to turn out, the vortex gradually disappeared, and everyone was puzzled and confused.

Deacon Mu looked at Luo Wushuang suspiciously and asked, "That's it?"

The captain nodded, a little confused.

"It should be, I can't sense it anymore!"

"It's so ridiculous! Such a big movement, just like this? We have been waiting all day in vain!"

After Deacon Mu finished speaking, he asked the master again.

"Pushan, can you explain?"

Master Pushan tore off two white beards and muttered to himself with a puzzled face.

"It doesn't make sense, and the book didn't say it. In such a small pool, there is such a big Xuanyue fish. How can there be something bigger than this fish? If the black shadow is really a giant beast, I'm afraid I've become a demon!"

The other two new rank-[-] fighters, Mo Wen and Mo Wu, also murmured softly.

"Could it be that our eyes are delusional? I have heard that some dark rivers and undercurrents in this world will suddenly swell or rain. Could it be that this is also the case in Moon Lake?"

Luo Wushuang said firmly: "Just now I clearly felt that a creature that I thought was very dangerous was approaching."

As a result, everyone talked and discussed for a long time, but they still couldn't figure out why there was such a strange phenomenon.But there is one thing, everyone is busy in vain.

After guarding for a while, there was still no movement, so everyone had to give up and walk back.Deacon Mu, who was furious, complained about wasting effort, but saw Old Shen approaching him and asked curiously, "What is that black shadow?!"

When Deacon Mu saw that the old Shen was in danger and rescued the two wild people first, he was even more angry.

"Guard Shen, if you are in danger, run away by yourself, I'm afraid you will lose your duty as a guard."

Old Shen looked at the appearance of the crowd, and there was nothing behind him, so he refuted.

"Deacon Mu, I'm here to help you escort the caravan. Besides, everyone catches Xuanyue fish together. I also helped find the bait. You can't take advantage of my absence. You should divide it among yourself!"

"Bullshit Xuanyueyu, there are no fish scales left, what do I get for you?"

The rest of the people hurried forward and explained briefly. When Lao Shen heard that he hadn't got anything, he had no choice but to give up and sued Deacon Mu again.

Deacon Mu also thought about the severe shortage of manpower now, and this old Shen is also a third-rank martial artist, and he will have to work hard for this group of people on the road, so he calmed down.

"Guard Shen, what you said is reasonable. This operation was unintentional. Although no fish was caught, it did not cause much loss."

After saying that, he will take everyone away.Seeing that the two sides had calmed down, Old Shen hurriedly interjected.

"Deacon Mu is really free and easy, but I hope that you will honor the reward for the two boys as bait. After all, they have completed the task at the risk of risk!"

Deacon Mu wanted not to give it, after all, he didn't get anything, but looking at these guards, he thought about making them think that I was not a trustworthy person, otherwise the road ahead would be difficult, so he nodded.

"That's for sure. Our god capital merchants value faith the most."

Turn around and explain kindly to the master.

"You arrange it!"

Pu Shan understood, and took Old Shen with him to get the money.At the intersection, I met Li Qingniu and the little slave sitting in a daze, and went to collect gold coins together.

In the end, with the help of Lao Shen, he was paid five gold coins per person.Of course, Li Qingniu took care of the little slaves.

Li Qingniu returned to the carriage with the little slave in an excited mood, threw ten gold coins on the small table, and looked at Li Lao Er complacently.

The second brother Li was very surprised, and quickly asked: "Where did you get the money? How could there be so much?"

Li Qingniu recounted what happened with a full face, but he didn't wait for Li Laoer's praise, instead he got Li Laoer's slap in the face.

"You rebellious son, how can you take risks alone? You have forgotten the lesson of entering the pool last time? You have forgotten what your father and mother told you before leaving? Do I need you to exchange your own safety for money? You ..."

Li Qingniu was beaten and scolded again, feeling aggrieved for a moment, this was the first time his second father beat him!So he got out of the carriage angrily, not daring to go far, and went directly to the newly bought carriage.

Seeing Li Qingniu leaving, the little slave also got out of the carriage and chased after him.

Li Laoer looked at Li Qingniu who ran out with a face full of grievances, and was startled, wondering if he had acted too hard, after all, he was only a child in his teens.But after all, this kind of thing is too dangerous, I thought, this guard Shen is really real, how can I let Xiao Niuer do such a thing!
Li Qingniu came to his newly bought carriage, looked at the thin old horse, and the dilapidated carriage, recalled what happened in the past month or so and the words of his parents before leaving, and felt sad for a moment.

It's not that the second dad hit him, but because he thought that his second dad lost so much savings because of his mistakes, but thinking about working hard to make money made the second dad unhappy.Suddenly, I found that I just wanted to go out of the mountains to make a living, but I never thought that it would be so difficult.

At this time, the little slave came over. Li Qingniu looked at the pitiful and slightly dull little slave, and just remembered that the clothes he bought for him at the market were placed among the goods.

I thought about going to the room where Lao Shen lived to borrow the bathtub, but I thought that I have been bothering him recently.

"From now on, you have to learn to make money and learn how to read by yourself!"

A sense of inferiority and self-esteem emerged for a moment, he took his clothes, and took the little slave to the well in the yard where the carriage was parked in the hotel to draw water for him to bathe.

After a while, both of them took a brief wash in the slightly cool well water.

Unexpectedly, after washing up and putting on new clothes, the little slave turned out to be clean and white. Even some of the scars on his body from before fell off like mud, and he looked very good-looking.

"Oh, I've been wanting to give you a name. I can't call you dumb every day. Now I have a good name!"

The little slave looked at Li Qingniu half understanding, but didn't speak.

Li Qingniu said happily: "You will be called Xiaobai from now on! Look at how white your skin is! The scars are gone!"

As he said that, he was about to reach out to touch it, and the little slave quickly backed away in fright.

After the two played together again, Li Qingniu still decided to admit his mistake to his second father, after all, he was the only relative on this journey.

……

Just when Li Qingniu was going to admit his mistake, a huge black shadow suddenly flipped over at the bottom of the Moon Lake, making painful noises, shaking the surrounding water into rough waves.

Nearly early in the morning, the pool suddenly became densely foggy, and the water surface, which was originally calm, suddenly became turbulent again.

Not long after, a white and enchanting ketone body, like a fish, swam out of the water, lying on the boulder by the pool with a little difficulty.It wasn't until the sun was born that the purple air came from the east and illuminated his body, only then could he be able to sit up.In less clear human language.

"Thank you for sending the ancient blood. I thought that I would have to devour a few hundred-year-old Xuanyue fish to transform into form. I never thought... cluck...you can't escape..."

"A few vixens, you can't think of it, I have also transformed."

Li Qingniu and the others didn't know it, they only saw a drunk lunatic when they set off, and crazily said that they saw a naked woman by the water.Everyone didn't take him seriously and left on their own.

　We thought we jumped out of the ordinary, but we just changed to an ordinary way!
