In the cold lake water, Wu Gen was about to attack when suddenly a black shadow shot past like an arrow, knocking the strange fish over and over several times.
Zhuo Ke's legs turned into tentacles and he nimbly avoided the attack of the strange fish. He held a fork in his hand and stabbed the strange fish hard.
After a dull sound, it was hit so hard that not even a single fish scale fell off the strange fish.
Seemingly irritated by Zhuo Ke's attack, the strange fish vigorously stirred the water flow, and the calm lake suddenly became noisy. As the water surged, large and small ice cubes suddenly appeared in the originally clear water. These ice cubes collided fiercely with each other, constantly making crisp impact sounds.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhuo Ke quickly swam to Wu Gen's side, pulled Wu Gen, whose body was already a little stiff, and quickly walked through the water, avoiding the ice cubes flying around and floating upward.
Although he dragged one person with him, Zhuo Ke's innate aquatic nature still allowed him to gradually distance himself from the strange fish. The strange fish made a high-pitched cry, and flicked its long tail vigorously. Ice bullets of various sizes were shot towards Wu Gen and Zhuo Ke like hailstones, leaving countless white tracks in the water.
Wu Gen managed to take a breath, and slashed backwards with a sky fall, and the turbulent waves rolled backwards, like a big net blocking the front of the ice bullets.
Countless bubbles appeared in the water, and five turbulences barely blocked most of the ice bullets.
Feeling the force of the ice bullet hitting his body, Wu Gen couldn't help but secretly smacked his lips. The force of the strange fish's attack was comparable to the strength of the Four Realms. In addition, the lake is its home court, which makes it even more powerful.
The two of them no longer dared to fight, so they turned around and fled in a hurry. When the strange fish behind him saw its prey escaping, it flicked its long tail and chased after it closely. With a crash, a huge wave exploded in the water. Zhuo Ke rushed out of the water with Wu Gen, turned around and jumped back to the shore.
Where the two people behind them broke through the water, they shot out hundreds of ice bullets, flying straight into the air and falling far away, causing thousands of sparkles to shine on the originally clear lake.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?" Baoxiang rushed over, helped Wu Gen, who was half frozen and stiff, and quickly put on his clothes.
Wu Gen trembled and took the wine handed over by Zhang Wuyang. He took two sips and took a long breath. "This vertical cold fish really lives up to its name. It froze me to death." While drinking, he kept describing the situation under the water intermittently. Told it once.
"This fish actually has such magical powers." Baoxiang couldn't help but frowned, "Wu Gen, I think it's better to forget it. This fish is like an overlord under the water. We don't need to take such a big risk."
Wu Gen had calmed down a lot at this time, his eyes widened, "Why should I just let it go? I was chased away like a lost dog. I can't swallow this breath."
Hearing this, Niu Chao chuckled silly from the side and said, "Zhao Master, what you said today is really right. I have wanted to say this for a long time."
"That's right." Wu Gen was a little proud. He suddenly reacted and kicked Niu Chao away. "You bitch, you actually changed your way of calling me a dog. I think you are tired of living."
When Wu Gen and Zhuo Ke returned to normal, everyone started talking about how to deal with the vertical cold fish. In such an icy lake, this fish is invincible. The entire lake can be its weapon, unless it can be killed with one blow.
The vertical cold fish is hidden in the water, and it is not easy to find it. Among the people present, except for Wu Gen and Zhuo Ke, no one could stay in the water for too long, let alone kill them with one blow.
"What a bunch of stupid donkeys. They can't beat this beast underwater. They don't know how to fight on the water. What are so many black plums used for?" Listening to the comments by others, Niu Chao mocked at the side with a look of disdain.
Yes, before coming to Lushan this time, Wu Gen brought a lot of black plums according to Meng Ling's instructions. I just tried it underwater, and the black plum can indeed attract the fish to come out.
"You might as well try what Niu Chao said." There was no other better way at this time, but since we were not sure whether there were fish before we came, most of the black plums were left at the foot of the mountain. After searching everyone, only about fifty were found, and they were all thrown into the water.
"By the way, here's our entrance." While waiting for the fish to float to the surface, Wu Gen realized belatedly that the entrance he entered had disappeared.
"Master, the entrance disappeared not long after you entered the water." Zhang Wuyang pointed to the foggy distance and explained, "It is estimated that it will not reappear until dawn the next day."
"There must be some kind of formation set up in this place, it's quite exquisite." Wu Gen nodded and looked around at the surrounding situation.
This glacial lake is located on the top of the peak, not far from there is a deep valley. Looking at the sun above our heads, it is obvious that this place is not completely isolated from the real world, but is just hidden. For some reason, it is only visible at dawn. To appear in the world.
The group of people waited blankly on the shore, and there was no movement on the water for a long time. Seeing these black plums drifting away, Wu Gen became a little impatient.
"Look, there." Just as he was about to go back into the water to catch fish, a few bubbles suddenly appeared on the surface of the water. Niu Chao pointed to a black shadow under the water and shouted.
"Shh." Wu Gen signaled everyone to be quiet. Everyone lay quietly on the shore, suppressing their inner excitement and staring at the black shadow.
The black shadow slowly grew larger, and white fins emerged from the water. Sure enough, the vertical cold fish was lured up. His huge eyes looked around, his two beards stretched out, and he stuffed a plum into his mouth.
Seeing the vertical cold fish floating leisurely on the water, Wu Gen felt his teeth itching with hatred. Without him, this fish still has the face of Wu Gen. As the fish chewed the plum, its stiff face also changed, and the corners of its mouth turned up, as if it were mocking.
Seeing the vertical cold fish getting closer and closer to the shore, Wu Gen signaled the people lying behind the rocks by the lake not to move rashly, and he quietly pulled out the broken knife.
There was a soft bang, and when the vertical cold fish was only seven or eight feet away from the shore, Wu Gen jumped up, raised his broken knife high, and slashed hard at the vertical cold fish on the surface of the water.
The sword energy struck the water, causing waves to reach the sky, shining brightly in the sunlight. The huge sound echoed in the air, as deafening as thunder.
This knife hit the fish's back, and pieces of fish scales fell on the water. A sharp cry sounded out, and in pain, the vertical cold fish turned around and dived underwater.
Because he was afraid of breaking the inner elixir in the fish, Wu Gen only used 50% of his strength this time. Even with 50% of the strength, even a rock can be easily cut in half, but unexpectedly, it fell on the vertical cold fish, only a deep wound appeared, and it was not able to kill it.
The red blood quickly dyed the lake water red, and the water quickly turned into solid ice wherever it went.
Seeing that the vertical fish was about to escape, Wu Gen was willing to do it and jumped into the water. But as soon as he reached the water, he saw Wu Gen jumping out quickly again, followed by countless ice bullets.
Ice bullets landed on the shore with crackling sounds, causing everyone's brains to hurt. When the noise on the water subsided and everyone looked into the lake again, they could still see the shadow of fish.
Wu Gen angrily grabbed a scale and touched his butt that was hit by an ice bullet, his face looking very ugly. This time, Shuhanyu suffered a big loss and probably won't be able to show up again. What should we do?
Is it possible that he has to go into the water again? The blow just now has forced the fierceness of the vertical cold fish to come out. It is already very dangerous to go into the water at this time.
Looking around, Wu Gen started walking along the lake, jumping and stepping from time to time, and sometimes even ran to the edge of the cliff to look around.
Everyone followed behind, looking at Wu Gen's strange behavior, and they were a little confused for a moment.
"Wu Gen, what do you want to do?" Baoxiang was a little confused.
Throwing away an icicle in his hand, Wu Gen said thoughtfully: "There is a formation protection here in the ice lake. It seems that someone did it specially, probably just for the vertical cold fish. I also looked at this lake, but it was not originally It's not that deep. It's just a way to raise the banks around the lake to support the poor fish.
Now that the fish is hiding under the water and refusing to appear, it is difficult for us to go into the water to catch it. In this case, I will dig up the lake. Who told us to have so many people and horses? Formations and the like, unless it is the great formation of heaven and earth in ancient legends, as long as there are more people, they can eventually break it.
I heard that in ancient times there were warriors who relied on the large number of people to destroy all the structures, formations, mountain tombs and tombs they passed. No matter what mysteries you had, they were all destroyed by force. Today, we will do the same thing again. "
When everyone heard this, they were all a little stunned. Wu Gen was extremely angry.
. If you can't catch fish, I might as well give you the lake. This is a desperate plan.
"Okay? Isn't this a bit unruly?" Baoxiang hesitated.
"Bullshit river and lake rules, no one is watching here, anyone who sees it can take it. I just want everyone to know that all the weird gods, strange magic and tricks are nothing in the face of strong manpower."
Wu Gen shook his head disdainfully and said loudly to Zhang Wuyang: "Tomorrow, when the formation is activated, bring five hundred brothers up, along with some pickaxes and the like. Let's dig an opening in this broken lake and drain the water. Look at that Where else is the vertical cold fish going to escape? This is the formation, even if it doesn't suit my eyes, I dug it up and made some magic. Niu Chao."
"Mr. Village Master, Xiao Niu is here." Niu Chao quickly stuffed the jade coin in his hand back into his arms. Having gained so much unexpected wealth in the past two days, he began to respect Wu Gen for the first time.
"Look around and see if there is anything weird. If there is anything, report it quickly. It is impossible to say that this is where the formation is." Wu Gen ordered loudly.
"Okay." Niu Chao looked excited and got down on all fours, sniffing with his nose while running. With such a large formation, it is estimated that the formation's feet are also extraordinary. If you dig them out, you can make a fortune. How could he not be tempted?
Seeing that Wu Gen had made up his mind, no one could persuade him any more. As soon as the formation was activated, Zhang Wuyang hurried out to gather men.
Another dawn came, and five hundred soldiers were already standing by the ice lake, carrying various digging tools in their hands, which suddenly made the lake seem a little cramped.
"Children, have you seen this broken lake? It has made thousands of your families unhappy. If you poke it, you will be rewarded heavily when you go back." Wu Gen stood by the lake and pointed at the blue lake and said loudly.
"As you command." A deep voice sounded, suddenly turning the usually quiet ice lake into a large construction site.
