Chapter 1594 Gongsun Hong doubts life

"Come on, put some lime!"

On the Gaoyou Great Lake, many large ships continued to sail in, and began to enter specific areas to unload lime according to Gongsun Hong's request.

Lime is made from burning limestone, dolomite, shells and other materials, and is a type of stone debris.

These stone chips are fine and easily mixed with water to form cement. They are building materials for building houses.

This material also has some niche uses, such as hunting fish in waters.

Baskets of lime were thrown into the water under the cliff. The black lake water at night suddenly turned turbid white, and countless fish were mixed in it, jumping around and struggling to breathe, and eventually died in pieces floating on the water.

“There are so many fish, so spectacular!”

King Jiangdu was not interested in doing anything else at night, but entering the Shui Mansion to capture the dragon was an exception.

He hasn't seen a dragon yet, but the white waves and dead fish on the lake are quite impressive to his senses.

He held the torch and looked downward with the help of the moonlight, only to see deathly silence under the water.

"Mr. Gongsun, do dragons breathe through their nostrils like us, or do they have gills like fish and can breathe in water?" King Jiangdu asked.

"Dragon has nostrils," Gongsun Hong said.

"How can the nostrils breathe in water?" King Jiangdu asked.

"A dragon has two pyloric sphincters in its nostrils. The sphincters open and close to inhale water waves and expel foul air, allowing it to breathe smoothly," said Gongsun Hong. "And dragons don't stay underwater all the time. Sometimes they come to the surface to take a deep breath. This one breath is enough for them to stay underwater for six hours without needing to breathe."

"Sir, your knowledge is really profound. I don't even know about the dragon's pylorus." King Jiangdu said, "Will its pylorus suck in and expel this lime water every time it breathes in and out?"

"I heard that there is a strange poison in the Western Region called Duanhunsan. Once it enters the body, it is difficult to excrete it from the body. Although this lime water is far inferior to Duanhunsan, it cannot be expelled easily with just one breath," Gongsun Hong said proudly. : "Look at these fish that are ventilating in the water. It's easy for them to suck in the lime water, but it's not that easy for them to expel it!"

"wonderful!"

King Jiangdu was extremely satisfied.

He would be more satisfied if the dragon could turn on its belly and float up like these schools of fish.

"There are already big fish that can't hold on any longer!"

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, nearly half of the fifty large boats had unloaded the lime, and some large fish weighing hundreds of kilograms in the lake began to surface and roll.

Even the steady sergeants couldn't help but exclaimed.

Small fish are fishy and have a strong smell, so even fishermen are reluctant to pick them up, but big fish are completely different.

Not only do these big fish have firm flesh, but more importantly, they have a lot of fish oil in them, which can be squeezed for oil.

Only by eating oil can a person be strong, and only by eating oil and water can one have strength.

If King Jiangdu's orders were not still being carried out at this time, many people would undoubtedly go into the water to fish.

Even so, some people cast a few nets and dragged some big fish onto the boat.

"There's something under the water and our nets have been cut!"

"The boat is leaking!"

At the same time, some panicked voices also began to emerge.

Large ships are not that easy to sink. A leak in a cabin can be isolated, but it is another matter if the hull is seriously damaged.

On the lake, a large ship began to tilt and continued to sink into the water. Even many veteran boatmen failed to save it and had to quickly move everyone to other ships.

"The dragon is out, the dragon is out!"

King Jiangdu held the gold-plated goose wings and raised the torch high, looking at the water of the lake. As long as he can capture the dragon, he will not care about the loss of one or two large ships, even if dozens or hundreds of people die, he can afford it.

With the help of the light of the night, when he tried to open his eyes wide, he only saw something sharp moving across the lake. This almost made King Jiangdu throw the gold-plated goose wing in his hand.

"Get the bow!"

King Jiangdu shouted, and the attendants beside him immediately bowed and held up a stiff bow.

The feather arrow was placed in King Jiangdu's hand, and the bow was bent heavily.

He stared at the bottom of the lake. When he saw the unusual turmoil in the lake again, the bow string he was holding suddenly loosened.

The feather arrows flew down and penetrated into the water like rays of light.

A sound like gold and iron was struck, and King Jiangdu felt that the arrow seemed to hit something made of gold and iron.

He drew his bow again and saw that the water surface became silent. Only a black and thick thing was left floating on the water.

"I seem to have shot off a dragon horn. Let them fish that thing out!"

King Jiangdu gave the order, and he couldn't help but wipe his eyes hard again, trying to see clearly what was on the water at night.

It has to be said that night is a good time for sneak attacks, but the dim light also brings too much inconvenience. Even the moon on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is difficult to give enough vision.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Gongsun Hong bowed his hands and greeted him respectfully.

Vaguely, Gongsun Hong only felt that what King Jiangdu shot was a pincer leg.

That was the kind of big pliers that Dong Zhongshu used to cut off with wind skills before.

This little demon had suffered Dong Zhongshu’s breakage of a large pincer, and his hind foot was shot by King Jiangdu and had another one broken off. It was extremely unlucky.

Gongsun Hong didn't want to break King Jiangdu's expectations at this time.

He also stood in the dark. He could do the work of searching for dragons and finding water, but other people had to do the work of fighting.

If he really encounters a counterattack by the Water Dragon King, Gongsun Hong will add fuel to the fire when he sees that he can win. If he faces failure, he will hide as far away as possible.

As a man fleeing for his life in the hands of the Dragon King, Gongsun Hong was sure that he could quickly escape into the mountains near the Gaoyou Lake.

With a safer escape, he tried his best to rescue Dong Zhongshu.

"It's a pity that there are only a few monks in the world who are as proficient in many kinds of magic as Zhong Shu!"

Seeing the sergeants dragging the big pliers in the water onto the boat, Gongsun Hong couldn't help but lamented his lack of ability to track the traces of the crab demon with his severed limbs.

"It's leaking, it's leaking!"

When the big ships kept making loud warning sounds, Gongsun Hong quickly came back to his senses.

After the crab demon was repelled, water leakage problems occurred in many large ships almost at the same time.

This situation made Gongsun Hong extremely vigilant. He felt that the Water Dragon King had already begun to take action, and might even start to kill Jiangdu's fleet.

Gongsun Hong raised his heart and was ready to run away.

But he was always on tenterhooks, and he almost persisted until dawn, only to feel that everything was like thunder and rain.

In the Gaoyou Lake, there were pieces of dead fish of all sizes, and a large pliers as thick as an arm and dozens of large fish weighing hundreds of kilograms were caught.

However, the Water Dragon King showed no trace, but it was possible that he had secretly scuttled the ship.

Thinking that he and Dong Zhongshu were caught by the Water Dragon King and taken into the Water Mansion when they entered the water, and that such a big movement did not encounter a strong enough counterattack, Gongsun Hong couldn't help but doubt his life for a moment.
