Chapter 53: The Waterway

The residents of Qingyuan Town followed the Shangyu army to the people of Qingyuan Town followed the Shangyu army to the north, and the people of the Wang family went south to seek refuge with an old friend whom Wang Henian had made back then.

Chu Feiyun took his subordinates to prepare to return to the Upper Realm, and Wang Yiming also began his new journey.

Wang Yiming bought a fishing boat and went all the way east along the Shenshui River, preparing to find the Xiao family sword mound introduced in his father's letter of recommendation to him, and continue to hone in it, striving to awaken the mysterious inheritance in his mind as soon as possible.

Lying on his back on a narrow fishing boat, looking up at the starry sky, Wang Yiming still has a deep sense of unreality about the world he was reincarnated.

The banks of the river are lined with rugged green mountains and forests, and the surroundings are quiet and peaceful.

Much like the most ordinary scenery in the south of the Yangtze River seen in the previous life, it is difficult for Wang Yiming to connect with the fantasy martial arts world where the strong are respected and killed everywhere.

"Hey! Forget it, it's useless to think so much now! ”

Wang Yiming closed his eyes and entered the dream.

When he woke up in the morning, Wang Yiming no longer knew where he had gone.

However, his father told him that the Xiao family's sword mound was about 3,000 miles away from the Wushan Gorge where he was going to set off, and that he would have to walk for at least four or five days if he took a small boat.

At that time, he only needs to pay attention to the cliffs on both sides, and he can see the four huge ancient characters of "Xiao Family Sword Shrine" carved by the older generation of the Xiao family.

That's when his journey came to an end.

Although Wang Yiming only slept for one night, he was far from the area of the "Xiao Family Sword Shrine", but he did not dare to be negligent, and after waking up, he began to look around, always paying attention to whether there were ancient characters engraved on the cliffs on both sides.

But he's completely overthought it!

This section of the waterway is very gentle, and if it is at this rate, it will take him at least ten days to reach the area where the "Xiao Family Sword Shrine" is located.

So he could have rested a little longer.

But Wang Yiming still did things very seriously and did not doze off.

While he was meditating and cultivating on the boat, he observed the situation around him.

Suddenly, several huge black shadows slid past Wang Yiming's boat.

"What's that?"

Wang Yiming was alert and leaned to the side of the boat and looked down.

He saw three plesiosaur-like beasts that resembled the plesiosaurs he had seen on television in his previous life scurrying across the water, and they were so fast that they overtook his small fishing boat and headed downstream.

Wang Yiming was taken aback, but he didn't expect that he also saw a monster in the water.

But thinking that the world he is in is a martial arts world full of fantasy, then it is completely reasonable to have this kind of demon beast.

The corners of Wang Yiming's mouth twitched, according to the size of the giant beasts just now, his small fishing boat was estimated to be able to bite in half with one bite.

But they don't seem to see themselves at all, maybe they aren't enough to stuff their teeth, right?

"Maybe it's the god of water?"

Ancient and modern large river basins have this kind of legend about the protection of the water god.

But most of them have been confirmed that the water god revered by the local villagers is actually just a monster that lives in the water.

However, this kind of monster beast is generally gentle and will not attack humans easily, so it is worshiped as a water god by the villagers on both sides of the river.

Wang Yiming thought, maybe he had encountered such a divine beast?

So he relaxed and stopped paying attention to the mysterious beasts that suddenly swam past his ship.

However, because of the fright just now, Wang Yiming was not in the mood to continue to meditate and cultivate.

He leaned on the side of the boat, looking at the beautiful scenery on both sides, and his mood fell into a pure and clean state.

Soon, he saw an old fisherman fishing on the Shenshui River in a fishing boat similar to his.

From the beginning of Wushan Gorge Pass to the present, Wang Yiming has not encountered any other large animals except for a few unknown giant beasts.

The old fisherman was the first human he had ever seen.

Wang Yiming, who had been lonely for a long time, immediately took the initiative to greet the old man excitedly.

Wang Yiming waved his hand happily and shouted from afar: "Uncle! Hello! ”

"Huh?"

The uncle's ears seemed to be a little back, and he didn't hear the first sound clearly, so he said "ah".

Wang Yiming shouted again, and added the transmission of true qi.

"Hello uncle-"

"Oh! Hello! Hello! ”

After hearing this, the uncle hurriedly thanked him.

"Uncle, why are you fishing here?"

Wang Yiming remembered that there were barren mountains all around, and there was no sign of a fishing village.

After hearing Wang Yiming's inquiry, the uncle showed a lamenting expression.

"Heyβ€”Gangnam Province is haunted there! All the fishing boats that fished in Gangnam Province sank! In order to make a living, I had to go upstream to fish! ”

Listening to the uncle's words, Wang Yiming showed an intriguing expression.

Gangnam Province haunted?

He remembered that he had heard from the Jianghu Qingke in Qingyuan Town that Shangyu's troops had been evacuated from Jiangnan Province, was it because of this reason?

"Little brother, what are you doing here?"

The uncle saw Wang Yiming walking alone on the vast river, and asked kindly.

"Oh! I'm going to take care of my relatives! ”

Wang Yiming didn't say his true purpose, after all, this was just an ordinary uncle, and he didn't want innocent people to get involved in his trouble.

After listening to Wang Yiming's answer, the uncle frowned and said, "Little brother! It's just a matter of taking refuge with relatives! You really don't need to take this waterway, I advise you to go ashore now that it's still close to the shore, so hurry up and go ashore and take the land route! ”

"Huh? Why? ”

"Huh? You don't know? This waterway is the territory of ichthyosaurs. ”

"Ichthyosaurus?" Wang Yiming gradually had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Yes! The ichthyosaur is a ferocious and murderous beast that will be attacked by all passing ships, no matter how big or small! I advise you to hurry ashore and take the land route for the sake of your own life! ”

The old man said with a sigh.

Wang Yiming's eyes widened violently.

"Aren't you fishing in these waters, then?"

"Heyβ€”I'm different! If I don't come to fish, I'm going to starve to death! ”

Wang Yiming looked shocked.

It turns out that the uncle has lived for so long, and he has already looked down on life and death!

"But ......"

Wang Yiming hasn't said this yet.

Suddenly, a behemoth jumped up from under the uncle's small fishing boat, directly pushing the uncle's small fishing boat into the air.

It was a fish-like beast with a mouth that opened and closed nearly ten meters, and it also had a pair of wing-like fins on either side.

It happened so suddenly!

Wang Yiming didn't react at all.

The uncle was also surprised to grow his mouth, but he was just an ordinary person, and he didn't have any power to resist in this situation.

So the next moment, with a click, the uncle and the boat were instantly bitten in half by the giant beast that came out of the water.

Bloody stumps mixed with wood debris rained down on the calm waters.

The giant beast fell into the water, and two more of the same beast immediately rushed forward, jointly biting at the corpse and hull fragments that the old man had spilled.

Wang Yiming was completely stunned!

This...... These were the three mysterious beasts he had just met that had swam past his ship!

Who said they were good water gods?

It's a fart!

Looking at these ferocious and tearing beasts, Wang Yiming felt deep horror.

There is only one sentence echoing in his head now, and that is - the idea pierces his hands, and the wind is tight!

Run for your life!
