As soon as Qin Shu finished speaking, she dived in. She opened Kunpeng's domain, and it was much easier to move in the water than before.
In addition, when she was in the Kunpeng Secret Realm, she had realized it in the water for a long time, and she was really not unfamiliar with the sea water.
Taking advantage of the fluidity of the sea water, she dived deeper and deeper.
Her spiritual consciousness also gradually spread, and she did not miss any fish that swam by her side, but she explored them all.
However, things didn't go smoothly.
Schools of fish are never fixed in one position. Perhaps the young man previously cast the net and picked up three pieces, but when she looked for it again, she found nothing.
Just when she sighed and was about to leave, a powerful spiritual consciousness suddenly swept over her body.
Qin Shu was keenly aware that this person's cultivation must be above the out-of-body stage just from the perspective of spiritual consciousness.
It seems that she must have inadvertently entered its territory. Qin Shu did not want to argue with the other party. When she was about to leave, there was a sudden fluctuation in her consciousness.
She was startled, and then felt carefully, the other party... seemed to be asking for help?
The human race does not get along very happily with the sea monsters. Some humans make a living by hunting the sea monsters, but those who are not strong enough will also be hunted by the sea monsters.
But this demon went out of its normal way and asked for help from the human race, which was a bit strange.
Qin Shu left for a moment and then sent a message to the other party: "You want me to... help you?"
"right."
This time it seemed that he was closer and Qin Shu could hear him clearly.
She stopped and asked more carefully, "How can I help you? Can you trust me?"
"Nothing is too trustworthy. I have been here for many years, and you are the only one who can help me."
Qin Shu understood that there was indeed no trust at all, and the other party was actually helpless.
"Tell me? How can I help you?" Qin Shu asked.
"Years ago, I accidentally swallowed a fish and absorbed a strange piece of stuff..."
As soon as she said this, Qin Shu suddenly became excited.
"What is it? If you eat the wrong thing, can't you just spit it out?" Qin Shu asked.
"It's not that easy. It gradually integrates into my flesh and blood. Every time my cultivation level increases, the more serious its impact will be. Help me, although I am a demon, I don't want to be controlled."
Qin Shu thought for a moment and then continued: "Where are you? I can't guarantee that I can help you, but I can take a look first before talking."
"If you dive another ten miles, you will see a coral reef. I am under the coral reef."
Qin Shu followed its instructions and dived down, and sure enough she found a fish under a large cluster of coral reefs.
No, specifically, you can only see half of its eyes. This fish monster is too big.
"It's you?"
The fish demon moved, as if in response to her, and the coral reef above its head fell down with a "thumping" sound.
Qin Shu confirmed, "Shall I take a look first? Don't be nervous. Since I promised to help you, I won't take action at will."
The fish demon hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed.
"I believe you."
Qin Shu approached the fish, raised her hand and put it on its back. The spiritual energy penetrated along the gaps in the fish scales, and finally found a mass of black in the belly of the fish.
This black fragment is not big, but it is worth the sum of the three pieces Qin Shu opened the blind bottle.
Qin Shu retracted her hand, "I saw it."
The black fragment has gradually established a connection with its flesh and blood. On the one hand, it provides strength for its cultivation, and on the other hand, it interferes with its soul.
Qin Shu knew from the beginning that this black fragment was a double-edged sword.
"Can it be taken out?" the fish demon asked.
Qin Shu thought for a while, "Okay, but..."
If she had to cut open the belly of the fish and take out the black pieces, how could the other party trust her?
Qin Shu sighed and was thinking about how to speak.
But the other party spoke one step ahead, "Help me, I can form a contract with you."
Qin Shu: "..."
It doesn't have to be like this, she can no longer afford a spiritual pet.
"I can help you, and you don't need to form a contract with me, but the black fragment is about the size of a palm, and it must have at least a wound that big. Do you... can you trust me?"
Her consciousness returned to silence for a moment, and it was obvious that the fish was also engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.
Qin Shu did not disturb it, and it took a long time before she finally got its reply.
"I believe you."
It is betting that either its sanity will be swallowed up bit by bit, and it will be no different from the walking dead. However, if it gives it a try, maybe... it can really be saved?
Qin Shu thought for a while and then asked, "Can you get out of the water?"
Taking out the black fragments is undoubtedly a major operation. If you take them out in the water, the smell of blood will definitely attract many sea monsters, which may cause changes.
Qin Shu came alone and brought a big fish with her when she returned.
As she approached the shore, a female nun in green stood up from behind her.
Qin Shu's eyes fell on the fish scales on her cheeks, and she looked at her curiously.
It's nice to look at, but there's something a little bit weird about her whole person.
"How long can you stay on the shore?" Qin Shu asked.
"The water here is full of spiritual energy, so it won't be a problem to stay there for half a year." Her voice was also a bit strange, somewhat like the mermaid in Qin Shu's imagination, which was very confusing.
Qin Shu nodded with satisfaction, "Half a year is definitely enough."
On the way back, Qin Shu asked her about other pieces.
"This thing is not a good thing. I advise you to stay away from it." Her voice was extremely solemn.
Qin Shu knew that she must have suffered a lot in these years, and thanks to her high level of cultivation, otherwise she might have lost her mind before she even came here.
Qin Shu nodded in agreement, "I know."
Just as the fish demon looked back, he heard Qin Shu ask again: "So... you still know the whereabouts of the other fragments, right?"
Fish Demon: "..."
Qin Shu tied up her loose hair and went to the fishing village to find Ah Ling to say goodbye. Then she led a group of tied guards back to Linxian City.
It was already approaching dusk at this time, and there were gradually more pedestrians on the road.
Qin Shu walked along the street with a group of guards, attracting the attention of countless pedestrians.
What's more, these people were wearing the attire of the City Lord's Mansion, which attracted countless whispers.
Qin Shu arrived in front of the city lord's mansion all the way, and more and more passers-by followed behind her. Maybe someone reported the news in advance. As soon as they walked to the door, a housekeeper came out to greet them.
"Fellow Taoist, may I ask what happened to these people in our house?" The housekeeper's attitude was pretty good, and he didn't look like he was arrogant or arrogant.
Qin Shu was even more sure that her guess was correct, and she did not want to disgrace the city lord's palace in front of everyone, so she said to them: "I wonder if I can lend a step to talk?"
