Chapter 49: Danger, Dwarfs, and Giant Monsters
Whatever rumors are circulating in the martial arts world has nothing to do with Song Lin.
Song Lin didn't care who Minjiang Prefect Liu Zhenghe was welcoming.
Because at this time he was already entangled in a troublesome matter.
The first thing the old fisherman Chen Ping did when he saw him today was to strictly order him not to take leave anymore and to come to work and leave work on time every day. Otherwise, he would leave immediately and the two would never see each other again.
"why?"
Song Lin was stunned at that time.
"Something big happened at Baiping Ferry last night." The old fisherman's eyes were calm, but Song Lin always felt that there was something strange in the way he looked at him.
"What's the matter?" Song Lin pretended to be confused.
"People died, many, many people died. I heard that the murderer was a man in a straw raincoat, and he used a knife, a small fish-butchering knife." When the old fisherman said this, he still didn't look at Song Lin.
He simply picked up the fish-cutting knife beside him and made some gentle gestures.
"what!"
Song Lin was surprised again.
then.
Both fell into silence.
They each silently made their nets and put down their cages. After a while, the old fisherman said, "Remember, you have been by my side for the past three days and have never asked for leave. Do you understand?"
"Uncle Chen...I understand."
Song Lin took a deep breath, feeling mixed emotions.
He understands.
Chen Ping was giving himself a reminder.
As the closest person, he might have guessed something.
But he is still helping Song Lin.
After Chen Ping's reminder, Song Lin finally realized that he had missed one thing. It was indeed difficult for others to suspect him, but... he was facing the Giant Whale Gang, a gang with influence all over the three rivers.
When the Giant Whale Gang does things, they will never reason with you.
The man in straw raincoat and the fish-butchering knife are indeed very distinctive characteristics.
When they searched the entire Minjiang Prefecture and found no suspicious people, they would sooner or later turn their attention to the ordinary place of Qingyuan Fish Market, because here, the most people dressed in straw raincoats were.
By the time.
As a former abandoned child of the Giant Whale Gang, Song Lin will sooner or later enter their sight, and danger will follow.
But Chen Ping still chose to help him cover up.
"Time... I don't have much time left. I can't bring danger to Uncle Chen because of my own affairs." At this moment, Song Lin felt tremendous pressure.
this day.
When Song Lin heard the news, the first thing Xu Haipeng did when he arrived at Minjiang River was to order the blockade of Baiping Ferry, and at the same time issued a clear order that all the martial artists in Minjiang Prefecture were not allowed to leave for the time being.
They will search all the gang members one by one until they find the real culprit behind the scenes.
Finally, the Giant Whale Gang and the government jointly issued a wanted order, offering a reward of 500 gold to anyone who could provide clues about the Straw Cloak Man.
Throwing wealth and honor!
The people in the martial arts world who were originally dissatisfied with Xu Haipeng's overbearing behavior were all angry. They only needed a clue! When faced with a group of Qi and Blood and Thunder Sound Realm masters brought by him, no one expressed any dissatisfaction.
This is the Giant Whale Gang, and this is Xu Haipeng.
The direct descendant of the sixth branch of the Xu family has such courage and the power to blockade the entire Minjiang Prefecture.
Song Lin smelled a hint of danger.
He still underestimated the means of the Giant Whale Gang. They blocked the Minjiang Prefecture... and they were able to do this just by having their whiskers pinched.
Uncle Chen’s concerns are not unfounded.
night.
Starlight.
The night sky after a rainstorm is always clearer than usual.
wow~~
A flying boat broke through the waves and headed straight for Baiping Ferry.
The talent improvement brought by the Heart Silkworm Tribulation has not been completely digested, and Song Lin's talent and cultivation speed are gradually increasing. Today, he is not going to Baiping Ferry to find trouble with the Giant Whale Gang, but to kill a toothed bighead carp king.
Only when the king fish meat is added with Tai Sui soil and stewed with clear water, can this pot of fish soup have the best effect.
Simultaneously.
Song Lin also wondered if he could find any trace of the Minjiang baby dolphin, and get a few more people with strong stomachs. He believed that after all, a person with higher quality would be found among the good ones.
[Obtained fate: Red Chi]
[Obtained fate: Red Chi]
Song Lin was lucky enough to kill two bighead carp kings in a row and obtained fate fragments from both.
But the 15% increase in water magic seems to be the limit of this fate.
With no other options, he had to continue searching.
"Well, what is this?"
Unexpectedly, Song Lin made an unexpected discovery deep in the bighead carp's nest.
On a dense jellyfish elite mine, a red plant grows in large clusters. Its shape is similar to that of red polygonum, as if it is its underwater variant.
A group of bighead carp kings were gathered around, occasionally nibbling on the flowers on the branches of plants.
See Song Lin coming.
The group of fish kings immediately fled in all directions.
Perhaps because they were afraid of being killed during this period, these fish kings remembered his appearance.
"Did the bighead carp king eat these aquatic red Polygonum to break through the limit of its size? So... is this thing effective on humans?" Song Lin didn't know, but he thought that since the meat of the bighead carp king was not poisonous, he could give it a try. With his current physique, he should be able to withstand most toxins.
"Sigh~~"
The tongue felt hot and tingling.
Song Lin's eyes suddenly lit up.
The heat from the aquatic red Polygonum flowers seemed to transform into a stream of pure qi and blood, flowing directly from the root of the tongue into the stomach and intestines, and then bringing a warm current to the whole body.
"Such pure 'qi and blood', or should we call it vital energy? Spiritual energy?"
"Never mind! This thing is definitely a treasure, it's worth my trip!"
Waving the fish-butchering knife, he cut off clusters of aquatic red Polygonum.
To support such a large number of bighead carp kings, there must be a lot of red Polygonum trees on the bottom of the water. They grow lushly in the cracks between rocks and on the edges of gaps, as long as there are many jellyfish elite mines.
"I wonder if I can use the branches of this creature and the meat of the bighead carp king to catch some baby dolphins? Or various rare and strange species in the Minjiang River..." Song Lin suddenly had an idea.
He finally remembered his profession.
fisherman.
As a fisherman, using his professional expertise to capture the fate seems to be the most effective way.
It was when Song Lin was harvesting the aquatic red polygonum.
Baiping Ferry.
Xu Haipeng and a group of people rushed to the scene.
"How's it going?"
Xu Haipeng said with a cold face.
"My lord, based on the clues and witnesses we have collected, we have confirmed that there is only one man in the straw raincoat, and his strength is at the Vermillion Bird Blood stage, and he has mastered the sword. I don't know if he is hiding his strength, or..." A captain of the police responded tremblingly.
He couldn't help but be afraid.
Xu Haipeng has a bad reputation and is much more brutal than his smiling elder brother.
In the seemingly peaceful Minjiang Prefecture today, countless people who were unwilling to cooperate had their heads chopped off. Compared to the murderous man in straw raincoat, he was more like a wolf in human skin.
No, evil dragon.
The green-faced dragon, Xu Haipeng! He was notorious for slaughtering 500 people from Liuye Water Village in one night in Aojiang City.
"Knife intention."
Xu Haipeng frowned, then sneered.
"Those who hide their heads but show their tails, even if they have mastered the sword spirit, can only be like mice hiding in a hole in front of the Giant Whale Gang. I don't care what means you use, within three days, find out the identities of all the Jianghu people in Minjiang Prefecture."
"Yes."
The captain lowered his head in awe, but couldn't help but say, "But... this... black street..."
"Black Street?"
Xu Haipeng sneered.
"I will go to those people one by one and knock out their teeth."
On this day, he had already figured out the power situation of Minjiang Prefecture. Those people were just bugs hiding in the dark corners, so he could take this opportunity to help his eldest brother clear the obstacles.
"Yes."
The captain of the police couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"Hu Protector, what's the situation down there?"
Xu Haipeng turned around and asked another person.
"Reply to what the Second Master said." He was a thin and short man, like a dwarf.
Hearing this, he chuckled and said lightly, "There is indeed a large amount of Tai Sui soil stored here. The amount that the straw raincoat man took away is less than one ten-thousandth of it. This precious land is enough to support the development of Minjiang Yitan and expand the business to all parts of Sanjiang."
"Young Master is blessed by God. He has just taken over this place and discovered such a treasure trove. Hehe..."
Xu Haipeng touched the scar at the corner of his mouth.
A look of satisfaction finally appeared on his face.
He was angry that some low-level Qilin forces helped the common people die, but he didn't care much. As long as this precious land at the bottom of the river is in his hands, why worry about not being able to cultivate talents in the future?
"Before Second Master came, I had already sent many disciples with Vermillion Bird Blood to mine. The daily output will surely satisfy you."
"but……"
The dwarf raised his eyebrows with a strange look on his face. "The situation at the bottom of the river is very complicated. We found more than 20 bodies in total, which is much less than we expected. And there is one strange thing."
Xu Haipeng asked: "What's the weird part?"
"what--"
A scream suddenly sounded.
Wow~~
Heads on the lake surface kept breaking out of the water, as if there was some horrible monster under the water.
"Help, there's a monster——"
A disciple of the Giant Whale Gang was about to call for help when he suddenly looked extremely frightened and his body sank suddenly, as if his feet were grabbed by a giant river monster under the water.
Wow~~
There were ripples and the man disappeared from the water.
"hungry……"
The strange voice came through the water, making everyone on the boat feel numb.
PS: I want to report the results. Today, my collection has increased by more than 2000, which is quite satisfactory. The new book list has reached 17th place, which is not bad. I unexpectedly received 100 monthly tickets (pretending to forget that I bought the tickets myself). Thank you very much for your support!
I don't know how to express my gratitude. Uh... or, poke me? I should write more every day and not stick to the 2000-word mark! Hehe~~
Here comes the point: the current collection is over 8000, and if I keep reading, it will probably reach 2000. I hope you can keep reading. Next Monday, there may be a chance to hit the Sanjiang or Xiaolaba recommendation position.
I know that the plot of these few days is not the same as in the previous life, and my brothers may feel that it is a bit bland, but the main line must be followed. For the long-term development of the book, I will not be as eager for quick success as in the previous book.
So, could you please not keep the book just because it doesn't write about the past life?
Please, these few days are really important, please read it every day! (Macho man acting cute~.~)
