Chapter 22: The Delusion of the Merchants

After the tea work, the merchant came to the embankment of Changshan Lake. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The gap is like a small waterfall, and the lake falls from a height of one and a half zhang, and then follows an artificial channel of forty or fifty zhang into a wide river valley.

Between the two is a rocky beach, where round and smooth boulders are half-exposed at the bottom of the river, like a broken "stone trough". On the west side of the river is a concave bank, and the erosion of the river is obvious, forming a "small cliff" inlaid with boulders.

There is also a very narrow path on the cliff face boulder, on which one can only turn sideways. This trail originally did not exist, it was formed by children's long-term "exploration", and Zili, Zilong and others when they were children were the first pioneers of this "trail".

More than five years ago, another group of teenagers went up to explore the danger, and Zishang wanted to fight to the death, so they had to take Zishang and Murong Zhixi on the side.

Fortunately when walking on the path, Zishang did not feel scared, and it was very exciting, although he shook a little halfway and scared others, he himself was very calm.

However, when it comes to the lowlands of the river valley, it is embarrassing. Descending from the "cliffs" on the concave bank to the boulder beach, you can reach the fine sandy beach on the opposite bank by wading across the river.

But during that time, the river was relatively turbulent, and those teenagers could come over with all their might, but it was a bit wide for Zishang and Murong Zhixi.

However, Zishang and Murong Zhixi have only refined a heavy realm, the river is not only wide but also not shallow, but the two of them can't even swim, so they can't go there independently.

The strength of the teenagers on the opposite side is limited, and the water flow is also a little turbulent, so there is no way to take people across the river, and the path back to the cliff is also not easy to go up, so Zishang and Murong Zhixi are trapped between the river and the "cliff", and they are in a dilemma.

A few people discussed, and they wanted to make Zishang jump over and then pounce as much as possible, but they dragged Zishang over there

But at that time, the merchants were still very simple, on the one hand, they didn't dare to make their clothes damp, and on the other hand, they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to pull it and be washed away, so they were very reluctant to jump.

In fact, even if the opposite side is not pulled, the sub-merchant will be washed up to the shallows not far downstream at most, and it will be easier to save it at that time.

However, after being persuaded by a few people on the other side for a while, Zishang still didn't do anything, and finally a few people got impatient and decided to go back to find adults and move "rescuers".

But Zishang is very simple, although he didn't hear what they said in a hurry, thinking that they didn't care about him. The fragile kid Shang was so anxious that he couldn't help but cry......

Murong Zhixi next to her was also a little anxious, but suddenly Zishang sobbed, which made her a little overwhelmed. Shouldn't it be her, a girl, who cries first, and then Zishang comforts her strongly?

But...... Zishang's "sudden" sobbing made her embarrassed to cry, frowning and waiting for the adult's rescue.

With Murong Zhixi's cleverness, she knew that after a long time, the adults would definitely find out, and they would definitely come back to find them, and maybe those people would look for "rescuers" when they returned.

Murong Zhixi thought that Zishang also knew, but he might be a little vulnerable, so he didn't say anything to remind him.

This incident can be described as the earliest embarrassment of the sub-businessman.

At the moment, the volume of water here is even greater than it was a few years ago, and the rocky beach is submerged except for a few boulders near the edge of the river. The width of the river has nearly tripled, so much so that half of the thin sand on the convex bank downstream has been submerged.

Standing on the side of the fine beach, his shoes were soaked with stagnant water, he searched the area carefully, but found nothing.

This area has formed a small shallow lake with a radius of more than thirty zhang, and Zishang looked at it, intending to pass over the boulder beach in front.

However, he seemed to feel something, and looked at the "shallow lake" suspiciously.

The surface of the lake ripples slightly, rippling and rippling, reflecting a round of moon in the sky, floating light and gold but not a still shadow, the moon shadow fluctuates and distorts in the river.

In the dense forest on the "small cliff" diagonally opposite, the shadows of the trees are swaying gently in the dark night, and there are occasionally one or two birds flying in the forest, and they do not chirp, and they can't tell what kind of species they are, and they look like crows in the dark.

Suddenly, his brow furrowed, and at this moment he clearly felt that something was staring at him!

He knew that this thing was most likely the culprit of the disappearance of the "bottom of the river"! So he immediately cheered up and looked around.

The sharp gaze of the merchant swept over the shallows, the river, the small cliffs, and the woods......

He always felt like he was ignoring something, the thing staring at him seemed to be in view, but he never noticed.

He couldn't help but take half a step back, accidentally stepped on a pothole, and stepped on another foot of water. Suddenly he thought of the legend of the water monkey, after he was "rescued" five years ago, when he returned home, his mother reprimanded him for a while, and took out the water monkey to scare the child.

Although the current Zishang has great doubts about this legend, he is not completely unconvinced after all.

He had read a lot of books on the Monsters, some of which did mention the "water monkey".

Zishang turned his gaze to the water again, and suddenly, two dark red light spots six zhang away reflected his field of vision, and he couldn't help but shrink his pupils.

He is also a person who has watched "Qi Harmony", and he was thinking about the legend of the water monkey just now, and now he subconsciously thinks that the weird dark red dot is the water monkey's eyes.

The thought flashed through him, and without looking back, he ran towards the rocky beach, where it was said that the water monkeys would be weak once they left the water. There are many obstacles on the rocky beach, and even the movement of water monkeys is bound to be restricted.

Maybe he'll have to kill him then!

Zishang's heart is so wild, after a cruel and inhumane winter training, he has the momentum to hit the peak of the Nine Realms, and the Fufeng Sword Technique has also reached the peak of Dacheng two days ago.

There is no detailed record of the strength of the water monkey, but according to the sporadic fragments of the water monkey's predation in the book, he guessed that the water monkey only has the strength of the peak of refining at most, and if he is lured to the land, he will definitely not be the opponent of his son.

With such thoughts, he quickly calculated in his mind how to kill the water monkeys.

Soon, the merchant ran to the rocky beach, jumped onto a giant on the edge of the river, and looked back for the water monkey.

Don't look at the water monkey, it is not tall and its arms are not long, but its speed in the water is quite fast, even if the "flying fish" comes, it can only drink bath water behind it.

Zishang was running at full speed on land, although he went around a little, but it should be much faster than swimming, but when he turned around, he found that the bloody eyes were less than ten feet behind him.

Zishang was a little excited to hold the Zhanchen Sword, after all, he was facing a creature he didn't know much about, and he was still a little nervous in the end.

However, he planned to lure the water monkey to the rocky beach anyway, and take advantage of his unpreparedness to use powerful swordsmanship to force it to the stone, and get out of the water, which can be regarded as land, and then his son will be able to finish abusing the rumored and terrifying water monkey.

But now the main thing is to lure the water monkey over, first make two moves with it, pretend to be invincible, and retreat to the dense stone area.

In the night, I saw the two dark red light spots on the water surface slowly rising a short distance from the water surface, it seems that the water here is not too deep, the water monkey has already stood up, Zishang made his eyes wide, and saw the water monkey by the faint moonlight.

The water monkey has a layer of translucent hair, which is very short and sparse, and the skin is very transparent like a film in a greenhouse.

Strangely, the water monkey does not seem to have internal organs or blood. Except for the blood-colored eyes and dark green claws, everything else is translucent. Maybe it's because its blood and internal organs are also very transparent.

The water monkey approached Zishang step by step, and finally stopped two feet in front of Zishang.

Zishang had no fear and took the opportunity to look at the water monkey, only to realize that the reason why the water monkey's eyes were dark red was because its two eyeballs were burning with flames.

Seeing Zishang staring at its eyes, the water monkey suddenly made a terrible "quack" sound, but the sound was relatively low, similar to the cries made by some dolphins, probably accompanied by ultrasound.

But in Zishang's eyes, the two dark red flames suddenly increased, covering the entire field of vision.

What followed was a sharp pain in his head, as if he had been hit hard by a hammer.

"Ahh

Zishang screamed, his body shook, and he fell from the boulder, and the Zhanchen Sword fell on the edge of the boulder and did not fall into the water. The water monkey laughed wickedly, and let out an even more piercing ghostly scream.

The water monkey kicked its feet in the water, rushed over like a swimming fish, and dragged the merchant downstream to the depths of the water.

In fact, the water monkeys did only have the strength of the peak of body refining, but they had hunted and killed the Xuan Demon Beast, which was comparable to the existence of a high-level qi refining realm. The reason is that they are good at spiritual attacks, even ordinary water monkeys can make low-level Qi Refining Realm dizzy or even comatose for a short time.

However, just as the water monkey dragged Zishang towards the Shensitui area, Zishang suddenly recovered and struggled vigorously.

The water monkeys were taken aback and randomly pulled his feet into the mud, water monkeys are better at burrowing into the ground than loaches, and they often drag their prey into the mud, leaving them unable to breathe and die.

Zishang choked on a few mouthfuls of water in the water, there was not much air in his lungs, his face was flushed, his hands were waving wildly, and his legs were kicking the water monkey, trying to break free.

However, in the water, the power of the sub-merchant was greatly weakened, and the water monkey was even more powerful, and the sub-merchant kicked it as if it was playing, and it had no effect at all.

In the blink of an eye, half of Zishang's body was buried in the mud. The water monkey got impatient and crawled out, grabbing Zishang's head, ready to give him a mental attack.

Although the Psychic Attack is used frequently, the power will become weaker and weaker, and the water monkey will also get tired. But in the condition of the sub-merchant, if he gets another blow, most of them will die.

However, Zishang subconsciously closed his eyes in the water, and he had no way to carry out a mental attack.

Just when it was at a loss, Zishang suddenly opened his eyes, and a brilliant and colorful starlight burst out, piercing the water monkey's eyes.

The water monkey froze, and a blue light floated out of its head, forming a skeletal ghost with a frightened face, which immediately dissipated in the water.
