Chapter 299: Treasure Fish Explodes!
Chapter 299: Treasure Fish Explodes!
On the river bank, in the black tent of Qinghe Martial Arts School.
Three powerful auras emanated from the tent.
The light in the tent was clearly bright, but it gave people a gloomy and depressing feeling. The source of this eerie atmosphere was a tall and thin figure in a blood-red robe in the tent. The man in the blood-red robe had a pale face, sunken eye sockets, and a weird look that had never seen the sun. From time to time, some strange insects crawled from the collar to the neck, and then quickly crawled into the blood-red robe man's hair.
This person was none other than Yin Hu, the chief disciple of the Wushen Cult. The blood-stained robe of this fourth-rank Gu Master seemed to have life and would wriggle from time to time. No one knew how many Gu worms were hidden inside it.
"If Brother Yue doesn't take action now, I'm afraid that the river dragon will really fall into the hands of Chen Changfan."
Yin Hu obviously doesn't look very old, but his voice sounds a little old, giving people a strange sense of incongruity.
In addition, there were strange and ugly poisonous insects constantly crawling on the Yin Tiger's body, and the eyes of the people around him were slightly disgusted, as if they subconsciously wanted to stay away from this young poison master.
Only the burly, shirtless man standing next to him seemed unaware of the poisonous insects.
The shirtless man was not tall, but his muscles were strong and muscular, and his skin was a gray-brown color similar to iron ore, which matched his somewhat dull expression perfectly.
From a distance, this man didn't look like a warrior, but rather like a stone statue.
Even though he looked harmless, no one present dared to underestimate this man. He was Shi Jingang, the eldest brother of the Tieyi Sect. Although he was a fourth-level warrior, he was not afraid of the attacks of the fifth level. After all, the Tieyi Sect's [Iron Armor Hundred Refinements] was not in vain.
If the attack power is not strong enough, I am afraid that even his defense will not be broken.
Shi Jin Gang shook his head slightly and echoed Yin Hu's words, "If Chen Changfan is not eliminated, I'm afraid neither you nor I will gain any benefits. If the three of us join forces and kill Chen Changfan together, the river dragon will naturally be ours."
Hearing this, the tall man standing opposite the two of them couldn't help but sneer a few times, and the amplitude of his movements caused the armor on his body to emit a slight cold light.
This tall man in armor is none other than Yue Zhenshan, the martial arts master of Qinghe Martial Arts School.
"I've finally heard that you two came here just to convince me to join forces with you to kill Chen Changfan."
Hearing Yue Zhenshan's words, Shi Jin Gang just smirked, while Yin Hu said with a fake smile, "To be honest, Chen Changfan wiped out the branch of my Holy Sect in Qingshan County. I have long wanted to get rid of him, but the headmaster was too cautious and allowed this clown to survive until now. It would have been fine if he had hidden himself, but today he actually barged in so brazenly, wanting to compete with you and me for the river dragon. He is truly arrogant!"
Yue Zhenshan sneered, "Your Wushen Cult has countless branches all over the world. From what I know, there doesn't seem to be much interaction between these branches. Sometimes you even fight openly or secretly for followers. Why are you suddenly speaking up for the Qingshan County branch?"
Yue Zhenshan pointed out the loopholes in Yin Hu's words incisively and obviously did not believe the lame excuse that the other party came up with.
"And you, you stupid idiot, how did you come up with the idea of joining forces to attack? I'm not saying anything bad about you, but with your stubborn mind, you definitely wouldn't be able to say what you just said on a normal day. I'm afraid you're being instructed by someone behind the scenes, aren't you?"
Yue Zhenshan looked at Shi Jingang. The latter didn't say anything, but he scratched his head in an unnatural manner, obviously because the other party had hit the nail on the head.
"Idiot, I know you have some talent in martial arts, but don't let yourself be taken advantage of by some shameless villains. If you get sold out, you'll still be counting the money for them."
Yue Zhenshan obviously had a good impression of the stone diamond, so he couldn't help but remind the latter a few words.
But in contrast, Yue Zhenshan obviously disliked Yin Hu, or rather, he did not have a good impression of those followers of the Wushen Cult who were muttering to themselves all day long.
"Mr. Yue, we came here out of goodwill, but if you continue to speak in such a sarcastic tone, then this cooperation will be terminated. Don't regret it if you don't get a share of the river dragon."
Yin Hu's words reminded Yue Zhenshan.
The Qinghe Martial Arts School where he is located is the orthodox martial arts organization of the Dawu Dynasty.
After joining a martial arts school, you will not only have access to training resources such as techniques, blood food, and instructors, but at the same time, if you want to obtain more resources and a higher status, you will also need a lot of contribution points.
Ordinary spiritual beast elixirs can be exchanged for contribution points, but those things are rare after all, and the contribution points exchanged for them are not that many.
Only a piece of scale or flesh from a strange creature like the river dragon can be exchanged for a lot of contribution points.
It is said that the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts, and this is reflected most vividly in the martial arts hall.
Today, Yue Zhenshan finally had the chance to compete for the dragon himself, so he naturally didn't want to give up this great opportunity.
His eyes moved back and forth between Yin Hu and Shi Jingang's faces, as if he was evaluating their strength and role.
Then, he finally nodded heavily as if he had made up his mind. "That outsider, Chen Changfan, wants to take meat from our mouths. Naturally, there will be no such good thing."
"So, Brother Yue, do you agree?" A look of joy appeared on Yin Hu's face.
Yue Zhenshan didn't comment, but said coldly: "If you want to snatch the river dragon, I will naturally take action, but if you want me to help you kill someone, then I advise you to give up this idea."
Yue Zhenshan's meaning was very clear, that is, they could join forces to snatch the river dragon, but if Yin Hu wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife, then forget it.
Yin Hu cursed inwardly, but a smile spread across his face. "Okay, it's a deal. The spoils we obtain will be divided equally among the three of us."
Shi Jingang and Yue Zhenshan looked at each other and nodded.
……
On the other side of the river are the camps of Xiaofeng Manor, Taixu Pavilion, and Modao Sect.
Although it is said to be a three-party camp, the Modao Sect is short of talents, and there is no warrior above the fourth level among the younger generation. No wonder they were beaten so badly by the Langjian Sect just now.
At this time, all the sects and camps were guarding the shore, wary of each other, but also keeping their troops in place, caught in a strange temporary balance.
Fang Chang was impatient and asked directly, "Excuse me, but we're all gathered on the shore. Are we waiting for the river dragon to jump out on its own?"
Lu Zixuan explained, "River dragons are cunning and hide underwater, making them difficult to capture. That's why the seniors have already set up a demon-locking formation in the water. The range of the formation will continue to shrink. When the river dragon is forced into a corner, it will naturally reveal itself. That's when it's time for us, the younger generation, to take action."
Demon-locking formation?
Chen Changfan immediately thought of the disciples of the Water God Sect he saw after he came up from the bottom of the water that day.
Perhaps at that time, the Water God Cult had already discovered the trace of the river dragon. Let's make a bold assumption and perhaps the Water God Cult had already set up a demon-locking formation, which restricted the river dragon's movements and prevented it from chasing after them.
I just don't know whether this demon-locking formation can trap extraordinary people. After all, the formation is so strange and unpredictable that it makes people feel insecure.
Ji Wenkong's face was a little serious. "I heard that the Wushen Cult, the Tieyi Sect, and the Qinghe Martial Arts School have formed an alliance. I'm afraid things will be difficult soon."
Originally, he had a great chance of winning after joining forces with Chen Changfan, but after the three parties joined forces, they were obviously stronger. At present, there was no one available among the younger generation of Mo Dao Sect, so he was thinking quickly whether he could contact another ally.
First eliminate the Fire Sect Leader.
The relationship within the Langjian Sect is also very tense.
Yan Xue of Feiyanmen was afraid that she was no longer able to fight.
That leaves only the Water God Cult and Earth Lung Mountain.
Chen Changfan seemed to be thinking the same thing as him, and gave him a questioning look, "How strong are those two factions?"
Ji Wenkong blinked his eyes. "Hehe, that woman from the Water God Cult is really good. As for the guy from the Earth Lung Mountain, he's also a human being."
That woman from the Water God Cult?
Is that guy from Difeishan also a human being?
Is this what a scholar should say?
"Just got the news," Yuan Lang stepped forward and whispered, "It seems that Difei Mountain wanted to form an alliance with the Water God Cult, but it seems that they were rejected."
"It seems that the Water God Cult seems to be quite confident and disdains to share the fruits of victory with others." Chen Changfan immediately saw through the other party's intentions.
"Of course. They believe in the water god, and this water is their home turf. However, we transcendents are not idlers. Even if we are at a disadvantage, we can still take advantage of it."
At this point, Ji Wenkong had no choice but to give up his plan of forming an alliance.
Judging from the current situation, the three-party alliance of the Wushen Sect, the Tieyi Sect, and the Qinghe Martial Arts School is the strongest, followed by their side, as well as the Shuishen Sect and the Difei Mountain. The rest of the sects are basically not a concern.
As time passed, the frozen river surface suddenly made cracking sounds, and a thin blood-red line visible to the naked eye appeared on the ice surface of Wolong Bay.
The next moment, the ice surface near the red line shattered, forming several large ice holes out of thin air, which looked quite strange.
The red line is the sign that the Demon-Locking Formation is shrinking.
Obviously, the further back we get, the faster the circle shrinks, and now it is time to close the net.
At the same time, there were some unusual movements in the river, which made the nerves of all parties tense.
Wow!
Suddenly, a splash of water appeared on the water surface covered with floating ice. It was a precious fish with a colorful halo flowing all over its body, and its dorsal fin was shaped like a peacock spreading its tail.
"It's the Glazed Trout!"
The warriors from the Langjian Sect, who were closest to the water, suddenly cried out in excitement.
Warriors need a lot of blood to nourish themselves, so they naturally recognize this precious fish that is said to be able to strengthen muscles and bones.
Upon discovering the precious fish, a man quickly picked up a scoop net, stood on the ice and scooped it hard, instantly catching the fish that was about to escape.
"Hahaha, this precious fish weighs at least ten kilograms. What a joy! What a joy!"
When the man brought the precious fish ashore, he immediately attracted the envious gazes of everyone around him.
Wow!
At the same time, several strange-looking precious fish jumped out of the water, causing everyone to exclaim in surprise.
"It's the Ghost-Headed Knife! The Golden Carp! And the Ox-Horned Pomfret!"
"Too many! I've never seen so many treasure fish."
For a moment, the surface of the river seemed to have suddenly exploded, and treasure fish kept jumping out of the water from the holes in the ice. As time went on, the number of ice holes increased, and the number of treasure fish became more and more dense.
Faced with such temptation, everyone could not contain their excitement and went down to the river to catch fish.
