Chapter Seventy-Three: Gray Waters, Plagued Leeches
With other people here, Zhong Chao's probability of encountering danger has decreased a lot, but the special fish can't be found, which still makes Zhong Chao upset.
In fact, scarcity is normal.
Special fish, a silver fish more than a dozen silver, fire scale fish 15 taels, other spiritual materials, such as sea lingzhi, blood jade coral, black pearl and other items, the price is only high.
Such a precious thing, if it could be easily found, there would not be so many poor people in Jujiang City.
Normally, if you can catch three or five special fish in one trip, you can count it as a bumper harvest.
It is also because of the scarcity that Huangli, the shopkeeper of the inner city, will come to the dock in person to buy special fish.
It's a pity that Zhong Chao doesn't know all this.
……
Feeling bored and suffering from the loss of physical strength, Zhong Chao simply floated to the surface of the river, lay on the water in a backstroke position, and basked in the sun.
"Whew...... Suck ......"
Zhong Chao on the river breathed easily, and his skin greedily absorbed the power of sunlight, storing the energy of light into his cells.
It should be said that light can shine into the deep sea, from the surface of the water to the bottom of the water at a depth of 200 meters, which is called the upper layer of the ocean, and the light at this time only decreases slightly.
The water layer from 200 to 1,000 meters is called the middle layer of the ocean, where the sunlight cannot pass through all the seawater, and the light is very weak.
1,000 meters below, you can't notice a little sunlight, and it's a dark world.
And Zhong Chaoda is swimming at the bottom of the river about 100 meters, so although he has dived under the river, he has been absorbing the power of the sun.
This is also the reason why he was able to hold on for five hours in one breath and did not return to the ship.
Now, after fifteen minutes of sunshine on the river, Zhong Chao's physical strength has fully recovered.
'Great Sun Body, Eternal God! ’
After sighing, Zhong Chao took a deep breath again, then turned over and plunged into the Nu River again.
"I don't believe it, I can't catch a particular fish today."
Maybe it's time to move, or maybe God can't see it, but this time, not long after he plunged into the water, a silver light crossed the corner of his eye.
"Silver Fish!"
The sudden discovery made Zhong Chao excited, and as soon as he kicked his feet, he chased after the silver light fish.
It's just that after chasing for less than three breaths, his heart sank, and the speed of the silver light fish with long chopsticks was too fast.
Zhong Chao had just started here, and it was dozens of meters away, as if the water flow resistance did not exist.
Well, with its special skin, the current really can't stop this fish.
This effect can be transferred to humans through silver fish ointment and fish swimming, which is a good thing.
But the good thing is later, now Zhong Chao's level is too low, he is only proficient in the 2nd realm, and there is no special effect at the root, so he can only watch the silver light fish slip away.
"!"
"Am I not fit to catch fish...... I haven't seen a special one for a long time, and if I do, I can't catch it. ”
The continuous failures made Zhong Chao doubt himself.
And the depressed mood, coupled with the lowered line of sight under the water, made Zhong Chao unaware that he had entered a grayish water after chasing the silver light fish.
"Why don't you waste your time and go back and find other ways to make money?"
"But what can you do, the money-making business has been blocked by those rich and powerful."
"Whew...... Forget it, don't think about it, let's catch it for a while...... If you can't catch it, it's nothing, so you should train the fish and dragon to swim. ”
"Anyway, as long as I swim in a standard position, my proficiency in fish swimming will increase."
The idea changed, and Zhong Chao's mood was slightly better.
And just as he cheered up and was about to continue swimming, a sudden pain hit him from behind.
"Something!"
The vain pain startled Zhong Chao, and he immediately reached out to grab it.
The benefits of body optimization are thus revealed, and with a slender body, he can reach directly to his back and quickly grasp a slippery thing.
It's just that the thing is too slippery, and Zhong Chao's arms are not strong when he is facing backwards, which makes him unable to pull it down although he grabbed the thing behind him.
And just when Zhong Chao was struggling with the thing that bit him behind his back.
"Sneer......"
A few more things bit him.
"!"
Feeling this, Zhong Chao dared to slack off, and immediately used both hands and feet to run up.
Qi and blood boiled at three times the speed, and in less than a minute, Zhong Chao rushed from the bottom of the Nu River to the surface of the river, looked around, and soon, he found his small boat and quickly swam there.
"Boss, you...... What happened to you? ”
Seeing Zhong Chao, Jiang Liang was originally overjoyed, but immediately he found that Zhong Chao's face was a little flustered, which made him panic too.
The same is true of Yan Township:
"My lord, what's wrong with you?"
"I've been attacked, help me look behind my back and see what hit me."
On the boat, Zhong Chao immediately turned over and exposed his back. And after seeing Zhong Chao's back, Yan Xiang and the others all gasped with a "hiss", and one of them was timid, and even jumped directly into the water to escape.
“??? What's going on? ”
Just when Zhong Chao was confused, a frightened voice sounded:
"Plague leeches!"
"Gray spots, three lines, you can't be wrong, this is the plague leech, you, you went to the gray waters?"
"Didn't you tell you you couldn't go there!"
"It's over, what should I do, if he dies, we'll all have to finish."
The leeches behind Zhong Chao completely frightened them.
In the end, Yan Xiang gritted his teeth and stood up.
"Don't panic, it's useless to panic now, row quickly, let's go to the shore to find a doctor, maybe there is salvation!"
While commanding the others, Yan Xiang said to Zhong Chao: "My lord, hold on, I know that your body is very cold and your consciousness is very blurred now, but you must not fall asleep, once you sleep, you will be completely finished." ”
"Uh......"
This kind of instruction made Zhong Chao's mouth open wide, and he didn't know what to say.
Seeing Zhong Chao's appearance, Yan Xiang thought he was confused, and hurriedly grabbed his shoulder and shook it.
"Sober me up, if I can't think about your family, think about your friends, you don't want to die...... Well? ”
Yan Xiang, who was hoarse, wanted to shake Zhong Chao awake, but with all his strength, he couldn't push Zhong Chao, and this scene made him stunned.
What made him even more sluggish was that Zhong Chao, who was bitten by a leech, opened his mouth casually.
"The body is cold, the consciousness is confused, is this leech so strong?"
“???”
"Are you alright?"
Looking at Zhong Chaoqing's consciousness and his face without a trace of pain, this time, it was Yan Xiang's turn to be stunned.
"It's impossible, the plague leech is an extremely dangerous thing, if you bite it, you will immediately have evil qi into your body."
"This kind of evil qi may not even be able to stop the blood-exchanging martial artist, at that time, your body will become stiff, your mind will be dizzy, and you will be dragged into the water by leeches and sucked to death."
"Even if you escape at that time, the evil qi entering your body will cause great damage to your body, and ordinary medicine is difficult to treat...... This is still one, you were bitten by five plague leeches, how could there be nothing at all. ”
