Fairy Desire

Chapter 016

This year's winter seems to come much earlier than in previous years. When a whining north wind blows, the weather becomes colder. Although it hasn't snowed yet, sooner or later the situation has begun to freeze.The sun also turned into an orange mass, a little hazy, no longer the arrogance and domineeringness of summer.

At this time in previous years, except for a few households with sufficient food reserves in the entire Longzhaotan who could occasionally see smiles, the faces of most of the villagers would be like the temperature in winter, getting colder and colder.

But this year is different, because with the help of Meng Xiang and Yan Shi, they obtained sufficient food reserves, and exchanged the fur of those prey for some cold clothes, although in the eyes of some rich people in Guyang City, it is still It is very simple, but for the villagers of Longclaw Beach who are used to living a hard life, they already feel very happy.But these are not Meng Xiang and Yan Shi's attention, they have more important things to do.

Yan Shi looked at the Nulong River, which was still rushing even in the dry season of winter, and seemed a little hesitant: "Brother Meng, do we really want to go down?"

"Of course. What's the matter, Stone? Are you scared?" Meng Xiang raised his head and looked at him with a half-smile.

It seemed that Meng Xiang's expression had stimulated him, Yan Shi's neck stiffened a bit, and he said stiffly: "Afraid? I'm Yan Shi, a man who stands up to the sky, how can this small river ditch scare me?"

After finishing speaking, he took two steps forward, as if to prove his bravery, he jumped directly from the bank that was more than one person high into the rushing river water, and with a bang, a huge splash of water was splashed.

Meng Xiang shook his head: "It's just to save face and suffer!"

Originally, he just wanted to let Yan Shi get used to it, and he didn't expect him to go fishing directly in the river. Although he had practiced for several months, his physique had improved a lot, but this is the Nulong River after all, and the current is fast, even in summer. However, people with slightly poor water quality will also be in great danger if they go down.

Meng Xiang didn't jump into the water, but stood on the shore, condescendingly, checking Yan Shi's situation.If there is an accident, he stands on a high place with a wide view, so he can find out the situation early and rescue him.

After about twenty breaths, Yan Shi's head emerged from the water, but it was several feet away from the river bank, and only half of his head remained in the waves.

Meng Xiang cast his gaze over there, and gradually a smile appeared on his face.Now that he finally knew why Yan Shi stayed so far away from him, he was almost sure that he didn't want him to see his livid face and hear the clucking of his teeth.Unfortunately, his wishful thinking was wrong.

Since Meng Xiang ate the silver sword tiger fish, in addition to his strength becoming much stronger, his eyesight has also improved a lot. In addition to his practice for a period of time, his five senses have been strengthened a lot, not to mention the strict distance He was only about five feet away, even if it was twice as far away, his situation could not escape his eyes and ears.

Considering Yan Yan's feelings, he decided not to expose his old background, but raised his voice, and asked with concern: "Stone, how is it? Can you withstand it? If you really can't, you'd better come up. Now it's not about showing off." When I was a hero, it would be bad if I got cold or got sick.”

"Meng...Brother Meng, you underestimate me too much. This cold water can't trouble me."

Seeing Yan Shi's firm expression, Meng Xiang thought that if he could really adapt to the cold river water, it would be of great help to his physical improvement.

So he deliberately ignored the chattering of his teeth when he spoke: "Okay then. Stone, since you think it's ok, you can stay in the river. But you don't go fishing at the bottom of the river, this time it's a trial. There's water. Oh, and, if you're not feeling well, go ashore and don't hold on. Rocks, you hear..."

"Okay. Brother Meng, when did you become such a mother-in-law? I am no longer a three-year-old child. I will deal with the situation myself." Yan Shi seemed to be unable to bear his long-winded words, and interrupted him with words .

"Then I won't talk about it. But you must pay attention to safety." As he spoke, Meng Xiang grabbed a woven bag, leaped away from the river bank, head up and down, and disappeared under the water with a whoosh. It only stirred up shallow waves.

Seeing Meng Xiang disappearing under the water, Yan Shi let out a long breath, rubbed his face vigorously with his hands, and smiled wryly: "I...I really want to save face and suffer! Listen to Brother Meng, just go ashore. Why do you have to be so strong?"

However, his eyes soon showed light, and he said thoughtfully: "No, I can't relax. Brother Meng, although he didn't say what he planned to do in the future, and he didn't directly say that he would take me with him, but I can feel that he still wants me to follow him. Well, my life was given by Brother Meng, and the revenge of my parents was also avenged by Brother Meng. I must not hold Brother Meng back."

Saying that, Yan Shi's eyes turned firm, took a deep breath, plunged into the icy cold river, and dived to the undercurrent of the river.

After a while, Yan Shi emerged from the water, grabbed a small palm-length fish, and swam towards the shore while shaking his head with a wry smile, obviously very dissatisfied with his performance.

Next, he went directly to the shore, threw the fish in his hand into the fishing basket, and then broke off a branch as thick as a baby's wrist from a tree not far away, and cut off a section about three feet long. Waving it up, there was a whining sound. It turned out that he was practicing the knife.

In the blink of an eye, heat came out of his body, and more and more. It was the third time he had practiced "Night Fighting Eight Directions", and his body seemed to have turned into a steamer, with white air rising up.

Suddenly, he threw the branch in his hand out, and inserted it into the trunk of a big tree with a bang, but it seemed that the insertion was not deep enough, so he shook it a few times, and finally fell to the ground, but he had already seen it. .

The moment the branch was thrown, he rushed to the bank of the river at an extremely fast speed, leaped, imitating Meng Xiang's appearance, head and feet, like a javelin, directly plunged into the water, although there was no Meng Xiang. The waves stirred up are small, but they have already shown super water quality.

After a while, there was a splash, a splash, and a human head popped out of the water. It was Yan Shi. This time, his harvest was much bigger. He caught a big fish about two feet long in his hand, and he kept catching it. struggling.

This time, after he went ashore, he didn't go into the water immediately. After putting the fish in the fish basket, he began to look at the river surface, as if he was looking for Meng Xiang's figure.He didn't seem nervous though, as if it wasn't a problem that he hadn't been out of the water for air for so long.

After about fifty breaths, a human head gradually appeared on the surface of the river, and it was still not rising. His ribs were almost exposed to the surface of the water, and he stopped rising.

Yan Shi's eyes lit up, and he shouted with admiration: "Brother Meng, your water skills are amazing!"

"Haha..." Meng Xiang smiled, "Stone, go on." The probe pulled the pocket tied on the waist of his trousers, and his arm swung violently, splashing water, at least a hundred catties of fish flew into the air, He flew straight to the shore several feet away, facing Yan Shi.And when Yan Shi hurriedly went to the pack of lively fish, Meng Xiang had already sunk into the water again.

Although the water quality of the Nulong River in winter is slightly clearer than that in summer, it still looks a little yellow and turbid. Even though Meng Xiang's eyesight is much better than that of ordinary people, the range he can see clearly underwater is still very limited.But he wasn't worried because he knew where the target was.

His feet kept moving the water up and down, his head and feet up and down, he was like a flexible fish, diving quickly to the bottom of the river.Soon the light from below the surface of the water became weaker, and the area he could see became more limited.

Gradually, as the depth of the dive increased, he also felt some pressure, as if someone was squeezing his chest, trying to squeeze out all the air in his lungs, but he didn't care, at least the current water pressure was still there. Far from reaching his limit.

After diving about seven or eight feet deep, the last ray of light on the surface of the water disappeared, and Meng Xiang's eyes were plunged into complete darkness.At this time, the water pressure also affected him to a certain extent, his chest began to feel tight, and a buzzing sound began to appear in his ears.

Meng Xiang stopped diving because the diving environment became harsh. On the contrary, not only did his feet push the water harder, but his hands that had not been used much also joined in, and began to paddle vigorously, at a faster speed than before. It seems that the bottom of the river is like a bottomless abyss.

In a blink of an eye, he dived another ten feet. The terrible water pressure could easily kill a healthy man in a very short period of time. Meng Xiang still did not stop diving.

After diving about five feet deep, Meng Xiang changed his posture for the first time, with his head up and his feet down. According to the change of the water flow, he knew that he was almost approaching the bottom of the river.Sure enough, after sinking less than a foot, his feet touched something cold and greasy, which was the bottom of the river.

Although Meng Xiang was down-to-earth, his condition did not improve much. The current pushed him, and the eddy current tore him.If it weren't for his water quality being really good, and being able to use and avoid the power of the water well, he wouldn't be able to gain a foothold at all.Even so, he couldn't stay in the same spot for more than two breaths.

Meng Xiang used the power of the water to move the position, trying to save every ounce of strength, but the result disappointed him, the thing he was looking for was no longer there.

The last time he dived, in order to catch a very precious yellow swordfish, he chased it down to the bottom of the river, and after some struggles, he caught it.It was precisely because of the intense pursuit that he consumed all the oxygen in his lungs. Although he saw something that aroused his great curiosity, he could no longer stay underwater.

Meng Xiang's mood was a little depressed. Although he knew that the strange fish with a faint white light was somewhat similar to the silver sword goby he had caught before, and it was impossible to stay where it was, he still couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

He looked around for a while, but still found nothing, so he decided to give up.But just as his feet were about to kick the ground hard and float up to the surface of the water, a ray of light caught his eyes, although it was very faint, it instantly lifted his mood.
