Chapter 231: Ying Long's News
Seeing that the upper inlet was about to be capped, I gritted my teeth and grabbed the dagger and plunged into the water at the bottom of the boat! Next to it was a rotating wall of water, and there were those fish on the side, whether or not I had the martial arts to jump out of the inlet, the only way I could walk was under the boat.

The torches on the ship were bright, but they didn't shine far.
But when I fell into the water, I saw the fish for what they really were! exactly what they said when I was in the fish house, each one about the height of a man, and some of them were even longer than the height of a tall man!
The most straightforward thing is that it looks more terrifying than I imagined after listening to the legend.
Their faces really look like human faces, and they still have the kind of faces that pouted and are fierce. The fins on the back and belly are almost the same as those of ordinary carp except for the large ones, but the tail is very chic, like a long swallowtail, separated.
The smelt, who were stirring the current, didn't seem to notice that I had left the boat and were still swimming hard.
When I entered the water, I heard their voices, their characteristic buzz, very similar to the sound of a baby babbling. There were a lot of sounds, but they weren't cluttered, like schools of fish that worked well together, and I quickly understood what they were saying.
"Hurry, don't give your prey a chance to jump. Watch out for the back! Don't bump into it. β
"I know, it's going to wag my tail well. β
"It's been decades, and it's reassuring to finally find the most nutritious prey before the queen gives birth. β
"Don't talk nonsense, get moving. β
ββ¦β¦β
But I didn't have time to stay here and listen, not just because of breathing. I was also worried that lightning would slash the surface of the water at any moment, so I shoved the back of the dagger into my mouth and quickly swam away with the dagger.
Anyway, their voices can travel far in the water, so you don't have to worry about not being able to hear them.
From a lot of words, I finally got the hang of it. Roughly speaking, the lifestyle of this group of male fish is similar to that of ants and bees, with a "female kingfish" responsible for the succession of the family, a dozen or so worker fish and three to five male fish.
Now it is the dozen or so workers who have come out to look for food, and listening to their talk, it should be the worker fish raising kingfish and males.
In addition to being responsible for raising small fish with the king fish, the male fish is also responsible for guarding the fish nest. Listening to their excited and anxious voices, it should be that the kingfish has been pregnant for three years during this time, and it is the day of production.
After receiving the power of lightning from the sky, the workers searched for food.
In addition to the special species of fish, they seem to be planning to venture to the shore to catch people before they can wait for humans to pass through the sea. However, these fish were very happy because they found the food that the kingfish needed to give birth (me), and the words spread far and wide.
I swam around them to the surface to change my breath, and when I dived in again, I heard their excited chatter.
"In recent years, humans have become more and more powerful prey, and they have caught many of our companions to eat. This time it's a bit of revenge!"
"Yes, we have been wandering in this sea for three years since the king conceived the little fish. I even walked through the wasteland behind me, but I didn't see half a figure. It's a big bargain. They were all about to return to the nest, but they saw a fire. β
"Isn't it?"
"Last year, I saw a monster fall in the wasteland, and I thought I could eat it. Who knows that it is a guy with scales harder than us, and it looks like it is seriously injured, but it can't bite through its belly......"
"Don't tell me, I broke a tooth!"
The vicious sound made my heart thump and stop for a while. "Whew!" I emerged from the water, took the dagger from my mouth with one hand, and stepped on the water to look back into the depths of the fog wallβthe wasteland in the mouths of these fish may be the land of the legendary Wuxian Kingdom!
The monster that fell a year ago was badly wounded, and the solid scale armor...... My heartbeat is getting faster and faster when I regain consciousness, Ying Long!
Is there a way to get to the wasteland in the mouth of the crossfish? How far is it? My paddling arm was a little sore, and I didn't know how long I could hold out, and I wanted to take off my clothes and tie the cuffs tightly, and then wrap them in the middle, and make a simple life-saving straw, but now I wanted to know what they would say next, so I dived again.
"The ship is empty, why did you find out now?!
The sound came smoothly into my ears, but it scared me so much that I almost cramped my hands and feet!
I understood my current situation, and I cut my outer robe with a knife and got out, swimming with only the single coat inside and the three layers of the chest wrap - in fact, I wanted to wear only the chest wrap and the single pants.
However, the single garment is close to the body, and it is not easy to tear it open, so I will paddle hard.
Occasionally, he buried his face in the water, and all he could hear was scattered shouts and pursuits. The smelts seemed to have dispersed their ranks to find me in all directions, and also conveyed the situation through this peculiar sound they made in the water.
I have to say that this is indeed a spiritual fish.
But I can't appreciate it, because I'm about to become food in their mouths! I gritted my teeth tirelessly and swam hard, just wanting to live, and I finally determined Ying Long's whereabouts!
Suddenly, I saw a flash of fire on the other side.
Did Yue Yun send someone to find me? I had a stronger desire to survive, but my hands and feet were involuntarily weak...... At times like these, I hate to be reluctant to move my arms and feet.
More and more times my head was submerged in the water, and worse still, I heard the smelt spot me in the direction of my escape!
I wanted to look back, but I didn't dare. I can only grit my teeth and swim, at this time I only hate myself for not knowing any martial arts, my strength is so small, I can't even save myself...... And the ability to understand the voices of small animals that Bailongdan brought me only made my heart feel oppressed at the moment.
The opposite light of the fire also moved very fast, not quite like the speed of a boat sliding with an oar...... Maybe two pairs of oars?
There are so many crossfish, it is estimated that they can only be sent to death when they come...... I was about to open my mouth and shout to the person on the other side to be careful, but I was poured a mouthful of salty seawater. Choked so much that tears came out, and the hands and feet that had no strength were even weaker.
I was stunned for a moment, and I was overdone by the sea again.
This time, I heard the smelts go crazy and turn their sights to the firelight on the other side. There was a fish that even passed through a distance of four or five feet like an arrow, and it didn't even notice that I was here!
"Danger!" I quickly came back to my senses and shouted to the surface, but my voice was drowned out by the sound of water.
The firelight on the opposite side was already surrounded by the crossfish, and I swam over with the last bit of strength with the "claws" that were about to move, and the sword and sword were already fighting. Now the fish no longer makes a baby-like sound, but the sharp cry of a wild beast!
