Last time, he and Shen Manyun went to Country Lake to garrison and caught a total of 9 sawtooth fish, which impressed Anwu deeply.
Because this directly led to the fact that the Zhou family did not dare to send Sawtooth Fish to cause trouble in the future, for fear of losing everything.
After a period of silence, unexpectedly, the Zhou family sent out water spirit rats.
"This is a water and earth monster, with a second-level high-grade bloodline!"
"What? Second level top grade? This is the foundation building level." Xu Yang frowned, he was worried that he was no match.
"Don't worry, although it is a second-level high-grade bloodline, it is still in its infancy. Elder Anwu said that its strength does not exceed the late stage of Qi training! With the combat power over there, it is enough to cope with it. The problem is that the thing is hiding in the water and is difficult to catch. arrive."
Xu Yang had ten thousand reasons to refuse.
After all, he is now a descendant of the Xu family with a foreign surname, and he has a planting task, so he can refuse.
So he declined.
"Xu Yang, to be honest, the Xu family is ready to abandon the outer city."
"What!!!"
"Once the outer city is abandoned by the Xu family, it will face attacks from the Zhou family and the Qihai Gang. Living here, you know what it means!" Elder Xu persuaded him kindly: "You go over there and complete this mission. The Xu family I guarantee that we will arrange a house for you and your family in the inner city to ensure your safety."
"Okay, I'll go."
Having said this, Xu Yang had no reason to refuse.
That night, Xu Yang told his two wives about the matter.
"We're going too!"
When Shen Manyun heard this, he sat directly on Xu Yang's lap.
"Yes, husband!" Lin Yu was also worried.
Xu Yang smiled: "You stay here this time."
"no!"
The two women said in unison.
"Husband, you are weaker than me and your level is lower than mine. I will follow you and have someone to take care of you. As for Sister Yu'er, we are not worried about her staying here alone, so we will follow you."
Shen Manyun analyzed it carefully.
"Yes, yes." Lin Yu nodded.
"Hey, that's okay." Xu Yang changed the topic: "But you actually said that my strength is lower than yours, which is totally unreasonable. I want to see who is stronger."
"Okay, okay, husband, please stop showing off. You can't do this with me and Sister Yu'er joining forces."
With that said, he grabbed Xu Yang's Kunkun.
Soon, the sound of bed boards swaying came again in the house.
…………
…………
Early the next morning, before dawn, Xu Yang and his wives got up early, put away the first-level high-grade defensive formations, and then headed to Country Lake under the cover of night.
After leaving Fangshi, they saw three young men from the Xu family waiting for them.
This is a boy from the Xu family who is traveling together to Country Lake to help. His cultivation level is around the fifth level of Qi training.
Seeing Xu Yang with his two beautiful wives, the three Xu family teenagers were not surprised. After all, there were too many monks and couples these days.
It was only after they realized that Lin Yu was just a mortal that they were surprised.
However, they didn't say much, because one of Xu Yang's wives turned out to be at the seventh level of Qi training, which made them take it seriously and did not dare to show any neglect.
After introducing themselves, they learned that the young man they were leading was called Xu Wenpeng, a handsome-looking young man.
These three people were there to protect Xu Yang and the others.
Xu Yang nodded. Although these three people were not very strong, it was better to have someone to protect them than no one.
Following the route we took to Country Lake last time, we walked all the way and soon arrived at Country Lake in the evening.
I haven’t been here for nearly three months. Today’s Country Lake is blessed with a second-level defensive formation, and there are also many new faces.
As soon as he came over, Elder Anwu greeted him.
"Brother Xu Yang!"
"Meet the elders." Xu Yang held his hand.
"We'll talk as we walk."
Zu Anwu attaches great importance to Xu Yang and believes that the solution to the water spirit rat issue this time depends entirely on Xu Yang.
"Recently, we have suffered heavy losses in Country Lake. At first, we thought it was caused by the sawtooth fish, but later we found the body of the spirit fish and found that the bite marks were not similar. After identification by our professionals, the bite marks came from rats! Later we got the news, The Zhou family, the master of beasts, purchased a water spirit rat from abroad a few days ago..."
Chu Anwu came and explained the reason.
"This water spirit rat is not very old yet, but it has pure blood. When it becomes an adult, it will have the power of a second-level high-grade one! It is equivalent to human foundation building. Fortunately, it is not yet an adult..."
"I will find a way to catch it, but I can't guarantee it."
Xu Yang expressed his stance.
This kind of water rat is much smaller than the sawtooth fish, is faster, and has a very high IQ, equivalent to the intelligence of a ten-year-old human.
If it senses something is wrong, it can easily run away and not come out for days or even months.
In this case, Xu Yang naturally couldn't guarantee that it could be solved.
In this way, he lived here.
This time, the conditions they stayed in were much better. It was a spacious courtyard, the two rooms were kept very clean, and Anwu arranged for two maids to serve them.
After being busy for most of the night, the defensive formation was installed under Shen Manyun's fiddling.
The three of them were exhausted and paralyzed, so they no longer had any thoughts and went to bed early.
…………
…………
A few days passed, and the three of them gradually got used to the life here.
Fortunately, the aura of heaven and earth here is much better than that in Fang City. After practicing here, Xu Yang and Shen Manyun were surprised to find that they made rapid progress.
"Yes, the art of nourishing qi has reached the master level. I can nourish qi even when I breathe. After coming here, I have made faster progress. I have reached the bottleneck of the fifth level of qi training. It is expected that I will reach the sixth level in a while."
As resources have caught up, Xu Yang's cultivation speed is now much faster.
…………
…………
"Brother Xu, Brother Xu, it's not good. Dozens of spirit fish corpses were found in the east area. Please go over and have a look."
On this day, Xu Yang and his wife had just finished breakfast when Xu Wenpeng hurried over with his sword in hand.
Xu Yang frowned: "Okay, I'll go take a look."
In the past few nights, he patrolled the lake as usual. In order to protect him, Xu Wenpeng and others followed him.
But for half a month, I got nothing.
I didn't expect to find so many spirit fish corpses this morning.
After Xu Yang arrived, all the corpses were taken out. They were all bitten to death by rat monsters, and they were not bitten to death by starvation, but purely by killing spirit fish.
Because these fish were bitten to death but were not eaten, it meant that the monster was not hungry.
Zu Anwu looked ugly. He had lost so many spiritual fish all at once. If this continues, the harvest of spiritual fish here this year would probably be less than 30%.
As a manager, he has to be responsible.
"Brother Xu Yang, what do you think?" Zu Anwu looked at Xu Yang, placing all his hopes on him.
What else could Xu Yang say?
He grasped the thing in the water, relying entirely on breath perception.
He now has the blessing of divine sense induction and can sense farther, but in the past few days, he has not sensed it.
Obviously, this demon rat seemed to know where he was and deliberately avoided him, specifically choosing the position farthest away from him to attack the fish.
The Country Lake is huge, and it is impossible for his spiritual consciousness to cover it all.
"Strange, how could this demon rat know my location and deliberately avoid me?"
Xu Yang murmured in his heart. Faced with Zuo Anwu's question, he shook his head: "I have no clue at the moment."
Everyone was disappointed.
Originally, everyone was optimistic about Xu Yang, but after half a month passed, nothing was found. Now everyone doubts whether Xu Yang has this ability?
"This rat demon is too cunning. You can't blame Fellow Daoist Xu."
An old man with a kind face and wearing ancient robes comforted him. He was an alchemist here, a seventh-level Qi practitioner, a descendant of the Xu family, named Gu Panjiang.
Because there are abundant medicinal materials here, he stationed here to make elixirs convenient.
He came to Xu Yang's side and showed respect on his face: "I have an idea. Find a group of spiritual fish, and Taoist Fellow Xu will ambush them. How about that?"
With that said, he took out a concealment charm and gave it to Xu Yang.
The people on the side nodded, and that was all they could do visually.
Next, according to the plan, Xu Yang ambushed a group of spiritual fish at night, but unfortunately he waited all night and found nothing.
This was the case for the next few days.
Zuo Anwu was completely disappointed and had already begun to prepare whether to invite more powerful people from the family to come.
But now that the family is short of manpower, I'm afraid they won't go to war over some spiritual fish coming over.
As time went by, some monks here gradually became suspicious of Xu Yang, thinking that he was a liar.
"Hey, husband, if it doesn't work out, let's go. I heard someone talking behind my back today, saying that we deceived Elder Anwu."
"Yeah, you can't catch him anyway, and it's none of our business."
In the past few days, another fifty spiritual fish were lost in a row, which made the Xu family feel very distressed.
Naturally someone had to take responsibility for such a loss, and Xu Yang became a punching bag.
Listening to the complaints of the two wives, Xu Yang didn't take it seriously, because he gradually figured out a pattern.
He already roughly knew why he couldn't catch the rat demon, and why the rat demon killed so many spiritual fish in a row, but he didn't even feel the rat demon's breath.
Because there is a ghost here! !
