"Grandpa, look, there's a fish!" A delicate whisper came, followed by a high-pitched one. I saw a sudden burst of white waves in the turbid river water, and faintly, a silver dorsal fin loomed.

The resilient fishing nets also shine in the sun. The nets were stretched straight by the two sides of the battle, shaking off all the water droplets on them.

Don't look at her as a little girl, the actions reveal the maturity and spicinessness of the fisherman pulling the net to catch fish, obviously I don't know how many times this action has been repeated. If it weren't for the face that looked tender and could pinch out the water, because she had been walking on the river all the year round and had been slightly skinned by the seven-colored sun, I was afraid that no one would have guessed the age of this girl.

The little girl knew in her heart that compared to staying power, she was definitely not an opponent of the big fish in the water.

"Hey!" Seeing that the battle could not be fought for a long time, even the fishing boats that could provide the lives of more than a dozen people began to tilt slightly. When the little girl saw this, she was not surprised.

She waited for the boat to tilt to a certain arc, only to see a tiger's eyes, and then the little girl's hand was fierce!

At the same time, a burst of fantastic light appeared on the girl's arms, which was very faint, only a thin layer, but this was enough to show that the little girl was a monk who had passed the three realms of quenching the body and could initially use the power of the element!

And at the moment when this light appeared, the big fish in the river were already powerless to return to the sky, not to mention, there was also the power of the entire fishing boat to bounce back!

Under the sudden increase in terrifying power, a gray figure broke out of the waves, and then slammed into the deck of the ship under the drag of a pair of small hands, making a "bump" sound. But the fish is still jumping and moving like no one, trying to jump back into the water.

But naturally it could not be allowed to be satisfied, and by this time the little girl had skillfully pulled up the harpoon resting at her feet, and one flew on the fish, and then smashed it on the fish's head.

Touch! There was a muffled sound, and then the little girl was vigorously lifted into the air, and the strength of this big fish can be seen. Under the seven-colored sun, the figure that has begun to take shape has been delicate. The little girl bit her lip with her silver teeth, and with the force of her fall, she spotted the head of the fish, and struck another harpoon.

Touch!

And so on. The terrifying sound came, accompanied by delicate splashes of fish scales, which made the scene seem a little terrifying for a while. No one would doubt the strength of the girl's hand, and the sound made people have a toothache just by listening to it. But the big fish itself didn't seem to suffer much damage, but struggled more and more violently, directly straining every fishing net line entangled in the body into the body.

It wasn't until a few more sounds passed that the seemingly huge scale fish that was several meters long finally stopped struggling. Instead, it convulsed like a spasm, and life continued to drain away.

The little girl breathed a sigh of relief. He tossed aside the blood-stained harpoon in his hand. However, she is also half a cultivator in the end, and dealing with such a strange fish is considered to be a familiar road, which looks thrilling, but in fact it is not very difficult.

"I'm tired, take a break, baby." Just as the little girl gasped slightly, her slender arms wiping the sweat stains on her forehead, behind her, a thick and hoarse old voice sounded softly. An old fisherman dressed in a dark cloth shirt with old age spots scattered on his wrinkled skin walked slowly.

The little girl's seemingly thrilling fight just now, the fisherman naturally saw it in his eyes. Faced with his granddaughter's skillful skills at a young age, the old man was relieved at the same time, but he couldn't help but be a little sour.

After all, this dangerous scene can only be regarded as commonplace for people who beg for jobs on the Lingjiang River.

Motioning for the girl to rest, the old fisherman walked forward naturally, and while his eyes were watching, his thick knuckled hand broke open the mouth of the big fish fiercely. On his waist, a large harpoon was stuck diagonally, and on the other side, there was a short blade that could be taken out at hand, not like a fisherman, but like a water bandit.

After all, just looking at the harpoon, it was like a whole steel bar forged, and it was terrifyingly thick. But this is only the standard for fishermen on the Lingjiang River. At this moment, I saw the old fisherman skillfully pull up the fishing fork on his waist, ride on the fish, and the harpoon in his hand followed the open mouth of the fish, and poked the fork head in.

Immediately after, the old fisherman made a very simple move. His big iron hand stabbed and jerked inward along the harpoon of unknown material, and with his other hand, he slapped the strange fish in the abdomen.

Immediately, when the old man pulled out the iron fork, there was a pair of pink whole fish entrails on it. Thanks to the size of the big fish, the entangled internal organs are the size of a six or seven-year-old child, but judging from the undigested food in the translucent intestines, it can be known that the fish is a vegetarian.

"Yes, 'the silver carp on the east coast, the mussel flower on the north shore', this mussel fish has not been seen for many years, especially with such a large size. Girl, you won the jackpot when you go down to the first net......" The old fisherman raised his head overjoyed, boasting again and again, but the old fisherman's joy made his eager heart calm down again when he looked at his granddaughter's distracted eyes.

knows his daughter Mo Ruo's father, not to mention that his granddaughter has also been raised by himself since she was a child. The old man opened his mouth slightly, and his original good mood turned into an indescribable emotion, pity? Sympathize? Bemoan? Kick oneself?

The fisherman shook his head, his gray beard fluttering back and forth with this movement, and he clicked the purple skin of his mouth, but he couldn't say anything about the follow-up. So the old fisherman continued: "I'll put this fish in the freezer first, and wait for the net to hook it to the side of the boat, I've sensed it with an instrument before, and there is no threat around." ”

In such a world, although there is no sonar detection, the technology of this world has also borne its own fruits in the civilian class. After countless lives were filled in the river, under the pressure of survival and the rampant pattern of giant beasts, some similar scientific and technological devices flourished, and now I don't know how many generations have been updated.

Bow your head and slowly remove the limp fishing net. The old fisherman spoke carefully: "Sometimes, don't think so much, no matter how much you think, you are asking for hardship." ”

The old fisherman didn't care about anything else, and didn't look at his granddaughter to hear it after speaking, so he carried the big fish with a body length of nearly three meters on his shoulders like a chicken, and walked towards the cabin with steady steps.

It's just that the little girl didn't see it, and the back that turned around was so thin that it looked like an iron tower, but she didn't know when it was already slightly rickety. And the white hair on his head seemed to be covered by the thick snow on the eaves, and he was already overwhelmed.

A detour. After looking at the spirit card in the captain's room, and muttering a few words, the old fisherman walked back to the deck. At this time, the little girl had already retracted her thoughts, in the end, it was the fisherman's child, a scoop of river water, diluted the blood stains on the boat, as well as the mucus on the surface of the fish's body, and then neatly brushed the deck with a brush, and after three or two strokes, the deck was as clean as ever.

"Grandpa," the little girl looked up.

"Well, girl, have you learned all the techniques of our netting," asked the old fisherman with a smile.

"Of course," he said, tossing the brush aside. The little girl had a proud smile on her face, and the ornament made of fish scales and shells on the back of her head swayed gently, and she was a little peacock.

"So," the old fisherman nodded, "you have ever been skilled in finding fish, discerning the direction of the wind, and steering the wheel." ”

"Of course, remember, grandpa, why did you suddenly ask about this." The little girl nodded at first, as if she sensed something, and then asked curiously.

"Okay, let's continue to close the net." The old fisherman didn't mean to answer, he smiled, and then pointed to the net. It's just that at this time, a big wave of five or six meters suddenly hit, and the whole boat was deflected, the old and the young did not care, paused, and continued the action in his hand after the wind and waves were calm.

This time the old fisherman pulled the net, while the little girl grabbed the harpoon and watched carefully. It's just that it's very unfortunate, and after several times in a row, no fish have taken the bait. It's as if catching a big fish has already spent all the luck of the people on board.

This is commonplace, and the old fisherman sees it in his eyes, but he is not in a hurry. He propped up his somewhat stiff waist pole and played with his fingers. I adjusted the three treasures on my fingers.

The so-called Three Treasures is a set of objects similar to tiger fingers or thimbles, which are tanned from the skin of a large fish with extremely terrifying defense power in the river, and are processed by some science and technology, and the price is very expensive. Together with a harpoon forged from imperishable steel, and a dagger with a short handle that can easily cut through fishing nets, they are known as the Three Treasures.

Most fishermen who do not have such a set of skills only dare to fish in coastal waters. And a boat, a net, is almost all the net worth of all fishermen. The exception to this is nothing more than the difference between a large ship and a small ship, shallow and deep nets.

As for someone will be wondering. Since it is such a high-risk industry, why not prepare some defensive measures, no matter how underdeveloped the technology, muskets and artillery should also be available, right?

However, the fact is that on the Lingjiang River, where giant beasts are rampant, even if there are a few powerhouses of the Ancestor Realm stationed on the fishing boat, what can they do? When encountering a herd of attacking 'sex' beasts, it is only a matter of time before they are wiped out.

This results in high risks and high inputs for fishermen. After a fishing activity, it is already a blessing in misfortune to be able to return to land and be down-to-earth.

People fish, fish eat people, and at any time, a person who is not angry will be fished out of the belly of any fish.

There were no fish, so the old fisherman began to explain the technique of lowering the net as usual. For example, with a straightened main fishing line, he could feel the vibrations of the entire net, and if any part of the net caught an invincible beast, he could cut the net before the other person noticed. It will not be shipwrecked and people will die.

The little girl nodded frequently and listened carefully. Even if she has recorded it in her mind no less than a dozen times. But as the old fisherman said, these are all life-saving experiences.

The water of the Lingjiang River is deep, and the net is also very particular, subdivided into each fishing boat, which is a secret heirloom. Even some fishermen even stipulate that men are not passed on to women, which shows the importance of this experience!

For example, the old fisherman's set of "simple explanation" method. The waters of the Lingjiang River are unpredictable, a net goes down, shallow, less, the harvest is sporadic, and there is no decent catch at all; The net is deep and wide, lest the net hook up to the giant in the river and drag the entire fishing boat into the turbid river.

Therefore, the ancestors of the fishermen explored for generations and summed up a set of methods for fishing and netting: when the net is lowered, it must be parallel and perpendicular to the part of the water around the hull near the water surface. Whether it is the knowledge or even estimation of the net casting force, the thrust of the current below the fishing boat, and the speculation of the wind direction and the possible presence of fish nearby, the feeding habits are extremely high!

The little girl's father was planted on this. Fortunately, his granddaughter did not insult her father's name, and she was better than the blue, comparable to a few fishing veterans who ran rampant on the river.

“…… That's right, so every time you pull the net, you will always catch a few big things, even if you get a few nets, it's not worth the trip. It undoubtedly increases the chances of survival for fishermen. At this, the old fisherman paused.

"Kid, you know? I thought a long time ago that you were a natural fisherman, and this magnificent Lingjiang River is actually the battlefield where you gallop across the country. The old fisherman's tone was hopeful, and he looked at the wide waters where the banks of the river could not be seen at all.

"Grandpa......" the girl said coquettishly, and was immediately interrupted by the old man.

"But then I realized that I was wrong. It was only me who had imposed my thoughts on you before," and then hung the net back to the iron hook that was deeply nailed to the side of the boat, and the old fisherman said, "I have decided to send you to the academy to learn something after returning from fishing." As for the things on the river, my old bones can last for a few years. ”

"Really, grandpa, you promised me?" The girl's eyes lit up.

"Well," the old fisherman gave his granddaughter a smile, and as for the battle between heaven and man behind him, the several struggles in his heart were silently hidden by himself.

He did this, but the girl was puzzled: "Grandpa, didn't you say that the fisherman should be accompanied by the boat, otherwise all other superfluous ideas are asking for trouble." This is not the first time I have heard these four words, and every time the old man said them very firmly.

"Haha, there was also a person who asked me that." The corners of the old man's eyes were a little shining, I don't know if it was because he was happy or sad, especially on his face that was wrinkled like a hill.

"Who is it?" These words aroused the curiosity of the little girl.

The old fisherman didn't sell it, "It's your grandmother," vaguely, the lovely appearance at the beginning was still imprinted in the eyes of the old fisherman. The face that was more ruddy than the surrounding candlelight was slightly hooked, with a hint of shyness, and this picture melted the old fisherman's heart: "At that time, she asked me like this, and I told your grandmother. Asking for hardship, but at the same time enjoying yourself. ”

"That's it?" The little girl who listened carefully was a little confused by the old man's concise answer. She didn't know how determined the old fisherman was to say such a thing.

"That's it." The old man's smile did not diminish.

"I seem to understand," the little girl thought for a moment and nodded.

The old fisherman didn't say anything when he heard this, but just shook his head slightly. But this scene is not visible to the little girl, because she has already clapped her hands and cheered, fantasizing about the life on land that she has always dreamed of.

There is no shortage of money in the fisherman's house. Let's just say that there is a boatload of fish, and every big fish is very expensive. Among them, the precious ones even need to be measured in the original crystal coin, which can be called a luxury. In Yiyi City, like the mussel fish just now, it can almost be sold for sky-high prices.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people who are willing to lick blood with a knife and earn this money.

The simple clothes and simple decoration of the fishing boats are just a sign of respect for the ancestors and proof of not forgetting the simple life that once was!

The little girl picked up the harpoon on the ground, waved it twice, and said excitedly: "Grandpa, you say, if there is no one to catch it, and there is no expulsion of the mighty beast, how free the fish in the river must be!" ”

"My silly girl, how can even a free-flying fish know how deep this water is?" The old fisherman smiled, and his snow-white beard trembled.

But he could already smell something strange in the air, and it was clear that a storm was coming. So the old man bowed down and moved again, and the hand that pulled the net did not fall as he spoke.

A pair of feet covered with calluses were barefoot, and they were tightly clung to the board like iron nails. No matter how hard the old man tried, the whole person never moved from the ship.

……

The world is ever-changing, and it is precisely because of this that in some extreme times, countless special places have been shaped.

I don't know when people called a place like this a polar region, which means that this is a forbidden area for life, and all living creatures cannot survive in such a place.

For example, the howling endless cold wind dominates the earth, and the wind is raging like a substance, and every wisp can scrape the bones and flesh of powerful life, and grind it into slag; Another example is the terrifying geothermal location, where unimaginable high temperatures are everywhere, and foreign objects can be evaporated in an instant; Another example is some of the light-filled hells, where any of the senses will be imprisoned, and even if they are trapped to death, they will not be able to escape......

Few lives can survive in such an environment, even if the lives in this world have embodied the word "tenacity" vividly.

And under the billions of miles of the Lingjiang River, it is such a forbidden area.

The deep water floor is vast, and the area is unfathomable, and in some places, the area is even wider than the surface of the river.

The space here seems to stretch infinitely around, but due to its own particularity, few creatures can stretch their arms here. It seems that no matter how many years have passed, nothing will change here.

Here, even the wreckage of a huge shipwreck or the corpse of a giant beast will hardly exist, and will be wiped out by the terrifying pressure of the water.

Therefore, in such a flat dimension, there is nothing but the soft and delicate sediment. It makes the hearts of those who see this scene furious, as if they are facing a hellish wasteland.

However, it seems that this is not the case, just as the horror and loneliness around him are narrated, a dark shadow suddenly swims in the distance.

Living creatures?

Looking at it from a distance, it is not very real, the black light flashes away, and there is no trace of it when people want to look for it, which makes people feel that it may have been just an illusion before.

However, such hallucinations come one after another, as if to break the rules. There seemed to be some guidance in the darkness, just ahead, and at this moment there seemed to be light shining from afar.

The line of sight continued to move forward, and the dark bottom of the river was lit up with brilliant brilliance for the first time. As the camera zoomed in, the light became more and more dazzling and clear.

It was only then that I realized that the entire mud bed at the bottom of the river was already shining brightly, and those objects that were wrapped in various colors of brilliance could be seen as copper-gold slags, the large particles were "stars", and the small particles were as fine as cosmic dust.

The number of individuals in the Star Sea is simply incalculable. But no matter how small they are, the brilliance they emit is so pure, as if it is precisely because of the breaking of the rule of no light at the bottom of the sea, so the light emitted by the fragments of particles is even more brilliant.

The debris came from some kind of part, lying quietly on the soft mud bed. In this moment, time seems to stand still. There is no sound and no living thing, this small sea of stars tells everything.

Originally, I thought that this sea of stars would last until eternity.

But suddenly, a dark shadow swam deeper than the surrounding in the darkness, making this sea of stars suddenly darken in the distance. I thought it was an illusion before, but at this moment, the black shadow has quietly approached through the black curtain!

The dark shadow is no longer shy about it, so it seems to be swaggering. It can be seen that this is a fusiform black fish with a strange body shape, which is a little disgusting and terrifying, his skin is scattered with mottled reflective spots, and his tentacles like black maggots are writhing endlessly.

And his eyes are the size of a grinding disc, and there are three layers inside and out, and each layer of brown and black stripes is not docked. In the eyes of the strange fish, there is a twinkle of mystery and depth, and there is a trace of ...... Afraid?

It's hard to imagine that such a rich emotion can be seen in the eyes of a sluggish fish.

At this moment, it was not in a hurry, and the strange fish seemed to swim fast and slowly to the range of the sea of stars. A faint golden light shone on his body.

At this time, it can be seen that this strange fish seems to have experienced a fierce battle. The top of his body suffered great damage, especially the entire left fin, as well as the muscles on the half of his back that were connected to it, were dug away, revealing the inky bones cast from black iron.

The hideous spur scales and subsegmentation of the bones, the minced flesh at the fracture site, swaying with the swimming of the strange fish, such a fatal wound, which looks more like a large mouth after the hole has been opened, is easily reminiscent of a rotting corpse floating in the water, unrestful.

It is unimaginable that under such a serious injury, this strange fish is still alive, and can swim freely in such a forbidden area of life, without being troubled by the terrifying water pressure at all. This is something that even the tiniest plankton can't do.

As the strange fish continued to approach, he soon came to the sea of stars, and hovered over it. At this time, the strange fish's eyes rolled and made a movement - his cheeks agitated, and he spat on a saliva!

If this fluttering action is placed in normal times, it will also produce a thrust that makes the fish retreat, but at the bottom of the Lingjiang River, which is not known how many billions of feet deep, the effect is terrifying!

In an instant, it was as if a nuclear-level depth charge had been dropped, and the balance of the surrounding waters that had lasted for an unknown number of years was disturbed, and in the darkness, the river had a chain reaction and became chaotic as a result!

This is a huge, silent film, where the weight of horror makes it impossible for sound to spread.

But the silt at the bottom of the river rose into the air in an instant, turning into a huge "dark cloud" with an area of unknown kilometers in a radius of several kilometers.

And the dark clouds instantly covered the sea of stars that was no more than ten meters round in the center, and the black like tentacles had no light, and it had already obscured everything.

This dark cloud will not last long, the terrifying water pressure will soon suppress them, and the starlight will also be buried deep in the mud, with the particularity of this place, it is also appropriate to describe it as "sinking into the sea".

Faced with the scene he had created with his own hands, the strange fish remained motionless, and there was nothing unusual on his huge face, his body seemed to be fixed in the water, only the tail fin swayed. His huge eyes looked indifferently at the clouds, but they didn't relax in the slightest.

Sure enough, at this moment, a feeling of uneasiness rose in the strange fish's heart.

The fish's eyes rolled, constantly turning in all directions. Darkness didn't stop him in any way. Even the sludge lifted up underneath. He could see the waters around him, so clear that there was not a trace of them, but because of this, he began to swing uneasily.

However, the strange fish moved a little late. This time, the strange fish's hunch was so accurate.

Foresee the future!

I don't know where a thought sounded, and then in the waters around the strange fish, a large number of "fireflies" suddenly appeared in all directions.

Oh no, that's nineteen different colors of starlight!

In the darkness of the warehouse, countless copper slags passed through the barrier of the water flow, and suddenly appeared around the strange fish, like a large net spread out, and at this moment suddenly tightened the mouth of the net, surrounding the strange fish.

"Do you really think I'm going to admit defeat, I've thought too much, now it's okay, I've fought my bone scum, and finally lured you over!"

At this time, a thought passed out from the starlight, and the person who spoke was none other than Li Xiao's will.

Before, he kept using teleportation, fighting and retreating all the way. In the high-intensity and terrible battle, Li Xiao's body could no longer support it, and his 'flesh' body collapsed. But fortunately, the will is protected by the power of the particle, so it can escape.

Hearing Li Xiao's thoughts, the strange fish only showed a little discomfort.

There was not even any change in expression on his face, and the huge fish eyes were spinning around, not caring about Li Xiao's words. He was still looking for the source of that uneasiness in his heart.

"Don't cry if you don't see the coffin," Li Xiao snorted coldly, but before his thought was issued, all the starlight had already smashed on the strange fish's body, and with lightning speed, the other party was wrapped into a colorful fried fish that had just come out of the pot.

This scene undoubtedly annoyed the strange fish. The maggots and tentacles of his body writhed violently, as if they were in harmony with some kind of rhythmic mysterious ripples, emanating from the tentacles and repelling everything around them.

But when the ripples collided with the surrounding copper and gold fragments, it did not have the effect that the strange fish imagined.

The originally invincible attack was ineffective at this moment, and the strange fish suddenly panicked.

And at this time, an even worse situation appeared, and the strange fish suddenly felt a trance of will.

A sense of fear hits him, and it is only then that the strange fish realizes where the deep uneasiness in his heart comes from. Although it is true that he has the characteristic of "crushing", he is only a fragment of the Protoss, and when it was once complete, it called itself "impermanence".

The god of "impermanence" weaves rules with phenomena, and it is impermanent. When people say that the world is impermanent, they refer to this great god. Of course, it is not heard in the gods who have long ceased to exist now.

And the fragments after impermanence is broken, but they are all "permanent"!

It's a mouthful, but it's also very simple to explain. For example, water evaporates in the sky and becomes clouds, clouds condense and rain and fall to the ground, rain flows down the river to form streams, and all water flows down to the sea and so on.

All normalities are organized together and are called nature; The power of impermanence lies in change.

When the rain evaporates, it simply turns into raindrops and floats into the sky, or it simply turns into something else and becomes no longer normal.

Of course, this is just an example, and it is difficult for people to guess and calculate how to change.

Even if he is the son of the element, he has suffered a big loss in the hands of "impermanence" back then!

After the fall of impermanence, the scattered "normals" are like cut-out film films.

It's like rain and sunrise, they all look normal, although they are powerful, they have also lost the ability to change, and they have lost the greatest means of "impermanence".

Li Xiao's unwavering attack and hitting all the way from the surface of the river to the bottom of the river is not stupid. Even if he understands that the other party is as solid as a rock, it is an iron bone that is extremely difficult to gnaw. But it is by no means invulnerable.

After unremitting efforts, Li Xiao finally found out the weakness of the strange fish.

At this moment, Li Xiao not only grabbed the opponent's sore feet, but also created a home field for himself, so that the situation suddenly turned from a disadvantage to an advantage. The previous pretending to be weak was all for the sake of the counterattack at this moment!

"Your weakness is the ...... of your soul," Li Xiao finished speaking, and the surroundings of the strange fish turned dark again. But this darkness is not really darkness, but the body has lost control of consciousness.

The brilliance around the strange fish was restrained, but Li Xiao did not disappear, but in the mind of the strange fish, at the same time, a huge colored hot air balloon suddenly rose, illuminating the surrounding grotesque and illusory black and white brain world.

Nineteen colors of starlight circulated endlessly on the surface of the balloon, especially the ochre-colored brilliance, which was very dazzling!

In the part of the balloon at the top, it belongs to the souls of the half-elf big-tailed civets, just like several large balloons blown up by heavy skins, which firmly protect Li Xiao, forming an unstoppable and resilient whole.

Dark holes!

Another move appeared. When the eye fell, the bottom of this hot air balloon was not a bamboo basket, but a terrifying black hole.

At this moment, as if there was an inexplicable magic power, the black hole sucked in the entire idea of the strange fish that had just appeared, and without the slightest chance to struggle, it fell into a deep sleep in a moment.

*To be continued *
