After a battle with the Octopus, I managed to cut off four of its tentacles. At the same time, the ghost ship commanded by the village chief Wang Shou was not seriously damaged, so I boldly made a request to continue the pursuit.

Seeing that I was full of confidence, Wang Shou finally decided to trust me, and immediately gave a decisive order: continue to venture after the octopus monster!

The ghost ship lowered its sails again, and the ghost sailors began to paddle with all their might. The combination of wind and manpower made it possible for the boat to reach its maximum speed very quickly. The escaped octopus monster lost four tentacles and swam much slower, and gradually we caught up with us.

"Harpoon ready!" Wang Shou saw that the distance between the ship and the fish monster had been shortened to the range of the harpoon, so he ordered.

"Harpoons have locked onto the target!" The sailors under the cabin shouted.

"Launch them all!"

"Whoosh!"

Three sharp, double-stranded harpoons shot out from the bottom of the ghost ship, one dodged by the octopus monster, and one was slapped off with its tentacles, but one of the harpoons hit its body with unmistakable accuracy, and the harpoon's barbs were deeply embedded in the flesh.

The octopus monster writhed in pain, but did not dare to stop, and still swam forward with all its might, and the direction of the swim was also clever, and it went deeper and deeper. However, these harpoons have a very tough rope attached to the tail end, and once they hit the underwater prey, they can pull the prey into the hold through the winch at the bottom of the boat. Even if you miss, you can recover it and fire it again.

"Shoot again!" With one hit, Wang Shou was willing to let the unlucky fish monster go, and ordered the sailors to shoot a second round.

This time, the remaining two harpoons also accurately hit the octopus's body. The barbs on the three harpoons hooked tightly around its body, and then connected to the ghost ship through the rope at the tail of the harpoon, so that it could no longer break free from the ghost ship's control.

"Collect the sails! Reel in the oars! ”

Every time Wang Shou gave an order, he grasped the timing very well, without the effect of wind and oars, the ghost boat that lost its power became a huge burden on the back of the octopus monster, and it could only drag the boat all the way to swim.

Although the octopus monster is large and powerful, it is not an easy task to drag a boat behind it and run away desperately. It had also tried to stop and pull the boat down, but by this time it had lost half of its tentacles, and it had been hit by three harpoons on its body, and it really did not have the strength to drag the entire ship to the bottom of the sea. And the harpoon's damage to it was exacerbated by the hard pulling, and the sharp barbs made it feel painful.

Seeing this, Wang Shou ordered someone to shoot a large fishing net from the bottom of the boat, almost catching the octopus monster. This giant beast that originally dominated the waters of one side fell into a very embarrassing situation at this moment, unable to break free from the harpoon on its body, floating on the surface and afraid of my usual knife, hiding underwater and having to dodge the attack of fishing nets from time to time, the last choice was to continue to run with the ghost boat.

But after running for dozens of miles, the octopus monster finally felt exhausted, and had to resurface, swimming hard under the surface of the water, and its speed slowed down a lot. I saw that the time was almost up, so I put away the usual knife and took out the Ruyi chopsticks from my arms. The Ruyi chopsticks shook in the wind in my hand and turned into two thin javelins.

I shouted to Wang Shou, "Collect the rope and let its head come out of the water!" ”

Wang Shou immediately agreed, turned around and ordered the sailors under the cabin to start turning the winch to recover the rope. The rope attached to the harpoon was about twenty meters long, and when there were only ten meters left, the octopus's head finally surfaced.

I saw the right moment and started running on the deck, and when I got to the bow of the boat, I struggled to throw a javelin turned into a wishful chopstick!

"Flutter!"

The first wishful chopsticks hit the octopus monster in the head accurately. The creature was suddenly hit hard, and the fish monster twitched and writhed wildly, but it was now exhausted, and it was only in its final death throes.

I threw a second chopstick, which also hit the octopus monster in the head. This time, its body had been twisted to the extreme, and after only a few flutters, it gradually lost its movement, spreading out its eight tentacles of different lengths and floating weakly on the surface of the water, dying.

The sailors on the ghost ship were in high spirits and poured onto the deck to celebrate. They cheered around me, and they didn't hesitate to praise me. The village head, Wang Shou, was also completely impressed by my performance, and even looked at me with a hint of awe. With his tricky eyes, he can definitely see that my Yin Gong cultivation is at least above the fifth level. This kind of cultivation is completely enough to be the city lord of a small Yin City in the underworld!

After the cheers, how to transport such a large octopus monster back to the fishing village became a big problem. It was too big to be hoisted onto the deck or incorporated into the cabin, and ended up strapped to the stern of the boat and towed all the way back to the fishing village.

However, the blood leaking from the wound of the octopus monster along the way inevitably attracted many underwater predators, who followed the ship to grab the corpse of the fish monster. Even if we tried our best to get rid of it, by the time we got to the shore, less than half of the octopus's corpse remained.

But even so, I still became famous because of this, and became the most high-profile "escapist master" in this small fishing village, so I was admired and loved.

I couldn't do anything about it. I decided to stay here in order to avoid being pursued by the underworld, so I naturally had to keep a low profile, because once this kind of "false name" spreads from the fishing village, I am afraid that some people will doubt my origin and true identity.

Fortunately, Wang Shou stepped forward in time to stop this situation from getting out of control and dispelled my concerns. As the village chief, he solemnly advised the villagers not to divulge my cultivation and martial arts to outsiders at will, and at the same time made up a "lie" that the octopus monster was killed by other bigger Stygian Sea monsters, and we just happened to pick up a big leak!

The villagers are all ghost slaves who have wandered from all over the world, or come here to escape hegemony and tyranny, and they are always worried about how to protect themselves. It's rare that there is a master in the village, and of course he will be very happy to keep me, so they are very attentive to Wang Shou's advice. Therefore, almost overnight, the tone of the village changed, and all the "leakage version" made up by Wang Shou in a unified voice, and no one mentioned my excessively high cultivation again.

I was very pleased with the villagers' actions, and not only did they quickly give up the idea of leaving, but they also strengthened their determination to stay and settle down.

My noodle boat was soon back in business. As the only noodle restaurant in the village, my business is not booming, but I can barely make ends meet. In particular, this nameless fishing village is a necessary foothold to enter the Ghost Eating Forest, and my noodles can also be sold to passing expeditions to eat, and at the same time do business with people and ghosts.

Of course, the quality of the catering business ultimately depends on the quality of the dishes. My noodle cooking skills are getting better and better, but everyone who has eaten them is full of praise and repeat customers are gradually increasing. Over time, the expedition teams passing through the fishing village would come to my boat to eat a bowl of noodles before leaving.

In addition to opening a noodle restaurant, Liu Han and I occasionally follow the expedition team into the Ghost Eating Forest to go on adventures, looking for rare ingredients to increase income. Not only do we team up with Xue Da, but we also have a good relationship with several other expeditions, and we enter the forest almost every month or two.

Due to the high frequency of entering the forest, the two of us are becoming more and more familiar with the situation in the Ghost Eating Forest. In addition, Liu Han and I are good at cultivation and martial arts, but over time, we have become famous local guides, and various foreign expedition teams who are not familiar with the terrain are vying to invite. Liu Han and I have a lot of income, and gradually we have saved a lot of savings.

Time passed quickly, and a year later, the first season of maturity finally came to fruition in the purple wheat experimental field I had planted earlier.

The Mocker is indeed an expert at farming, and over the past year he has spent a lot of time in this little wheat field, solving many problems that I don't know how to solve. In fact, most of the credit for the success of this experimental field should be attributed to the sarcastic ghost rather than me.

When it was time to harvest, the sarcastic ghost insisted on calling the scissors ghost, saying that the scissor ghost was a natural "crop man".

Scissorghost was skeptical, but went along anyway. Its scissor hands were indeed very useful when harvesting wheat, and it quickly piqued its interest, and it took only a quarter of an hour to harvest the half acre of purple wheat.

When the wheat is finished, the wheat is threshed, and the beaten wheat is dried. In the last round, I harvested a total of more than a dozen catties of new wheat from this experimental field. Although the harvest is not much, it at least proves that the purple wheat can be cultivated in the land outside the Blackwater Marsh, which is already a huge achievement.

Of course, a dozen catties of wheat can't grind many catties of flour, so I immediately decided to plant all these new wheat's seeds again, and deliberately went into the Heishui swamp to collect about dozens of catties of wild seeds, and finally barely planted the ten acres of fertile land that Wang Shou gave me.

On the other hand, the "trick" of the sarcastic ghost also succeeded. It taught Scissorghost how to sow seeds and take care of the fields, apparently intending to transfer the work and tasks of farming to Scissorghost.

However, Scissor Ghost seems to be willing to fall for this "dang". It seems to have regained the enthusiasm of working in the tailor's shop, and it is very motivated, and it is very busy in the wheat field every day, watering and fertilizing, catching insects and loosening the soil, and it is very busy. Sure enough, as it said, it is not suitable for the work of fighting and killing, so it likes to do this kind of delicate work.

I saw that one of them was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer, so I didn't intervene to interfere. As a leader, you don't have to force every subordinate to be omnipotent, as long as you make the best use of your resources.

It's just that I didn't expect that the sarcastic ghost was thinking about more things than me, and it was eager to hand over the work of farming, and there was actually another greater purpose in it!
