Seeing Old Man Bai looking nervous and looking around, Youya naturally felt that something was wrong. She carefully scanned Old Man Bai's condition up and down, but saw that he couldn't be healthier, so she raised the green snake staff to control Old Man Bai. The people around him turned around after hearing this and stared at Old Man Bai eagerly.
When Old Man Bai saw the blue light of the green snake on the staff in front of him, he naturally felt the danger contained in it. He knelt on the raft and begged for mercy: "Dear guests, spare your life! I don't want to hand over my life here!"
"Who said I'm going to take your life? Please tell me honestly, what's your plan for leaving us here?" Yu Siling said.
"Alas... Dear guests, I have misunderstood! I just said that it is late today, how about we take action tomorrow?" Old Man Bai said with an ugly face.
"Boss Bai, looking at you looking so fearful, is there any danger ahead?" Mu Fengchun asked, squinting his eyes.
"Alas...this distinguished guest is right..." Old Man Bai said with a bitter smile, "Things like that are very dangerous, I really don't dare to mention it!"
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Mu Fengchun became interested and asked Youya to put down her guard, and then continued to ask: "Tell me, what is that thing?"
"Uh...sigh...ok!" Old Man Bai sighed helplessly, "Actually, the thing I'm afraid of is a kind of fish in the deep water..."
"Fish? Hahaha! What's there to be afraid of? Give me the oar. I'll catch a few more in a while. When I go back and pass by Sanchawu, I'll ask them to make me some more fairy-roasted fish!" Ling burst out laughing when she heard this, and then her eyes suddenly lit up. She snatched the oar from Wu Hao's hand and paddled forward.
"Girl, no! No!" Before the old man could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yu Siling. Seeing Zheng Huan take the oar and swing it, he was also sweating profusely and jumped up to take it back. oars.
"Boss Bai, don't worry. If something goes wrong, we will definitely protect you! What's more, judging from the marks on the map, we will definitely have time to get through here before dark." Mu Fengchun held Old Man Bai's shoulders and asked him He sat down and comforted softly.
"It's over...it's all over..." Old Man Bai stayed on the spot with his eyes blank. It took him a while to recover, and he continued after Mu Fengchun asked, "The fish here are not ordinary fish. It is an extremely bloodthirsty fish, a serrated water tiger..."
"Old man Bai...are you confused? Are you talking about fish or tiger?" Yu Siling interjected again.
"Water tiger? I saw this passage in the foreign classics collected in Bixia Valley: There is something in the water, like a three- or four-year-old child, with scales like a dace and carp, which cannot be penetrated by a shot. Fortunately, in the middle of July and August, Qi Self-exposed on the top. The knees are like tigers, and the palms are often submerged in the water and come out of the knees. Children don't know that if they want to play with them, they will kill people. It may be said that if a person is born with something, he can pick it off and make it small, which is called A water tiger. Is this what Old Man Bai is talking about?" You Ya asked doubtfully.
"No, no. Although the thing you are talking about is called water tiger, it is commonly known as kappa and water monkey. It is essentially a kind of river monster! And what Boss Bai is talking about is probably sawtooth piranha, which is a type of piranha. Seed, Boss Bai?”
"This distinguished guest is right, what I am talking about is the piranha...and this piranha usually feeds at dawn and dusk, so I don't want to pass by here at this moment..." Old Man Bai said in a low voice.
"Since they are fish, there is nothing to be afraid of! When they come one by one, I will kill one! When two come by, I will kill a pair! Make them all into a fairy furnace to roast fish!" Yu Siling said excitedly.
"Little White Snake, this water tiger is a piranha! Do you really think you can swallow it?" Mu Fengchun teased.
"Ah? Could it be that this piranha...really cannibals?" Hui Siling finally realized.
"Nonsense, otherwise why is it called piranha?"
"Two ancestors! Can you please lower your voices? The creatures around Daming Mountain have been infected by the Moon Viewing Altar. It is said that they have become spiritual and can understand when someone calls their name. I am afraid of encountering this situation along the way. , Don’t dare to mention it at all, you’d better do it! One bite at a time... and you want to cook it if you try to attract them, wouldn’t it be a disaster if you attract them!” Old Man Bai’s complexion became even paler after hearing this, he can really say that. There was old man "Bai" on top. If the raft hadn't reached the river at this time, he would have even considered jumping into the water to escape.
"Boss Bai, you should have brought Mr. Qingshe here before. How did you pass by at that time?" Mu Fengchun suddenly asked.
"Alas...it happened to be the winter moon and the weather was cold. These...things have entered the dormant stage, so there is no need to worry! Alas...not to mention that the water was still high at that time, which road we were taking..." Bai Laobo said every word. With a long sigh, he pointed to an almost dry shoal behind him.
"Hmph! I spent a long time rowing in vain, and these guys can't eat it after a long time! It's so annoying!" Hui Siling sat on the bamboo raft angrily, and the oar was handed over to Wu Hao, who looked speechless. , said: "Old man Bai, are you making too much of a fuss? It's been so long and I haven't even seen a shadow of a piranha!"
"Oh... I hope so!"
A few people chatted for a while, and they had been rowing for an hour. According to the map's instructions, they had almost reached the edge of the deep water. Going further was the empty space on the map. Mu Fengchun picked up the Tu Tu stood up and looked around, feeling something was wrong in his heart. He really wanted him to tell what was wrong but it was hard to describe.
"Little brother, we are in shallow water just ahead. You are more than capable of dealing with enemies, but you have no experience in dealing with reefs. Let's leave it to the old man." Old Man Bai said and took the oar.
"Hua Hua Hua..." While several people were talking, suddenly there was a small sound of water splashing from the bow of the boat, which made several people nervous and turned their heads to look. It turned out that it was Yu Siling sitting on the edge of the raft, swinging her feet. Had a great time.
Several people were breathing a sigh of relief, but Mu Fengchun fixed his eyes on Yu Siling's pair of jade feet. Yu Siling felt the burning gaze and turned around, seeing Mu Fengchun's scorching eyes. He blushed for a while: "Little liar, you... what are you going to do?"
Mu Fengchun did not reply. He stepped closer to Yu Siling's back, slowly stretched out his hands, and then suddenly reached toward Yu Siling's armpits, and directly pulled the latter up from the raft.
"Little liar, what are you doing?" Yu Siling was startled and was about to break free from Mu Fengchun's clutches, but before she could struggle a few times, she heard Mu Fengchun shout: "Huang Mu! Keep it!"
Huang Qilin was holding a piece of wood in his mouth with his eyes closed to relax. When he heard Mu Fengchun's low voice, he opened his eyes and looked towards the front of the raft. Then he spat out the wooden stick from his mouth, held it in his hand, and shot it directly towards the place where Yu Siling had just stood up.
As the wooden stick flew away, I saw a dark green shadow with a bright red belly jumping out of the water. But before it could move too much, the wooden stick shot in from the saw-toothed steel teeth and pierced through the tail, directly Nailed it on the raft...
"Ahhh! Sawtooth water tiger!" Old Man Bai screamed and fell onto the raft. The paddle slipped into the water with a whoosh, causing a splash of water.
The moment the oar just fell into the water, several dark green figures appeared under it, revealing two rows of razors in their mouths. After a few clicks, the hard oar immediately turned into pieces. crumbs.
Seeing the miserable state of the oar, Yu Siling also turned pale. If Mu Fengchun hadn't been quick with his eyes and hands, his legs would have been turned into pieces, and he was filled with fear in his heart.
Without the oars, the few of them could no longer control the direction of the raft, and could only let it drift with the current, slowly drifting forward...
"I'm still wondering why we didn't see these sawtooth water tigers along the way. I didn't expect them to be wandering around us all the time..." Mu Fengchun's face was very solemn. No wonder he kept feeling that something was wrong. It turned out that those dark green waves around him were not The surface of the lake is the color of the scales on these jagged water tigers.
"Senior Mu, if that's the case...why didn't these water tigers attack until now?" Wu Hao asked in a low voice.
"This water tiger has sensitive hearing, but slow vision. It was unable to detect our position for a while. We were going down the river and rarely stirred the oars, so it was difficult for them to detect... But the behavior of the little white snake just now was completely exposed. Our traces..." Mu Fengchun said with a bitter smile.
Knowing that she was in the wrong, Yu Siling bit her lip and lowered her head in silence, looking very aggrieved.
"Sigh... Little White Snake, you don't have to blame yourself. Although water tigers are just swimming fish, they are extremely intelligent! The reason why they haven't taken action is probably because they are waiting for us to land on the shoal and expose our position... " Seeing that Yu Siling was so abnormal, Mu Fengchun's words that he wanted to ridicule turned into comfort.
"Senior Mu, how about you let me use the lava technique to deal with these water tigers?" Wu Hao rolled up his sleeves and said.
"Absolutely not! These water tigers often come in groups, and they are not as simple as they seem on the surface! Moreover, these water tigers in front of you are already suspicious of the disappearance of their companions. If you use magic, we will be completely exposed. There are traces of it, so I just asked Huang Mu to keep it! Otherwise, this water tiger will die in the water and be eaten by these similar animals in front of me. The bloody atmosphere will inevitably attract the surrounding water tigers, and it will be difficult not to be eaten by them. Found..." Mu Fengchun explained.
"Then Mr. Mu, what should we do now?" Youya asked nervously.
"Over there!" Huang Qilin said.
Everyone looked towards Huang Qilin's direction and saw that the direction of the water flow happened to be the direction of the shoal, and there was a rock out of the water right in front of them. Judging from this posture, it was estimated that their raft would be broken into pieces in a short time. A few pieces, and this sound will definitely attract the saw-toothed water tigers around. Until then, once they fall into the water, they will definitely be greeted by their corpses!
"Ah! This is terrible!"
"My life is at risk...my life is at risk..." Mr. Bai's eyes were blank and his voice was trembling.
