Chapter 135: Contrast
Walking out of the shock brought by the reckless and dead giant elephant, Su Xing and Han Qiaozhi continued to run towards Qu Yu, there were not many creatures in the Shadow River, but it was not surprising that they could still encounter a few occasionally.
The two of them said that they had been exploring the shallow river area for more than two hours, but in fact, they had been moving around the Yuzhao area for more than two hours, and they did not go out in a reckless straight line.
The definition of shallow river area and deep river area is different from that of Yuzhao area, and the scope can be clearly defined according to Quyu lighting.
The terrifying point is this, according to the records of the sect, the farther away from the light of Quyu, the easier it is to encounter the deep river area!
And once you strayed into the deep river area, it was almost impossible to get out on your own, and you could only rely on the jade marks on your wrist to leave the Shadow River to save your life.
There are often some disciples of the outer sect who will try to enter the deep river area when the shadow river is about to end, if there is no gain.
And the Shenhe District, originally there was no such division, according to the records of the sect:
Originally, there was no restriction on the movement of disciples in the shallow river area within a radius of fifty miles from Quyu, and the casualties of disciples every year were not as few as they are now.
However, with years of exploration against the Shadow River, the sect found that some disciples would have a particularly rich harvest!
Almost all of these disciples had the same experience: after leaving Qu Yu for a long time, they seemed to be inexplicably transported to a place where the local resources of the Zhaoying River were rich and there was nothing unusual.
But the problem is that those disciples who died have summed up a common characteristic from the mouths of eyewitnesses: they are all far away from the Shadow River!
Even the jade marks on his hands can't save his life.
When I asked other sects, the same was true.
After that, the Shadow River was closed for a while.
When the Zhaoying River opened again, the sect seemed to know something, and only then did it have the concept of a deep river area.
And gradually, there was the Ziyu Sect, and the disciples of the sect could only get the regulations of the Qianhe District within a radius of fifty miles from Quyu. Since then, the number of disciples who have died in the Shadow River has been greatly reduced.
Su Xing and the others naturally would not take risks for no reason, and as they saw Qu Yu getting closer and closer to the waning moon in the sky, the group walked out from the side.
The leader was Chen Ang, who he met before, who seemed to have just seen the two of them and walked over to say hello.
Su Xing glanced at the man carrying the long pole behind him, and there were more shadow fish on it, vaguely there seemed to be about six, struggling in the air with long tendons and weak strength.
Not everyone can be as extravagant as Qiaozhi, and specially come up with the utensils and spiritual water that carry the shadow fish. Therefore, after many disciples catch the shadow fish, they will use spirit animal tendons to string it together to slow down the loss of its life.
Of course, it is also convenient to casually display the catch of the catch.
"Su Daoyou, I happened to meet again." After looking for a greeting, Chen Ang nodded slightly, with his handsome appearance and luxurious dress, he was indeed magnificent.
Su Xing also bowed his hand slightly, although he did not change the direction of entering and exiting the Yuzhao District, but if he met twice in one day, it might no longer be 'just right'.
Looking at the disciple who was carrying the shadow fish, raised his head slightly, and looked up at himself, Su Xingbian probably understood the other party's intention:
They want to show off their catch.
Shaking his head inwardly, he had no idea of comparing himself with the other party, and only planned to say goodbye and leave.
But Su Xing still wanted to give them a shallower meaning, Chen Ang originally wanted Han Qiaozhi to realize the gap between him and Su Xing, and deliberately called it a day early, waiting here for a while, how could he just let Su Xing leave.
He made a look, and a disciple behind him suddenly had a look of curiosity on his face, and looked at the fish basket on Su Xing's waist:
"This fellow Daoist, what about the shadow fish you caught? Could it be in this fish basket? β
Before Su Xing could speak, another disciple said:
"This fish basket seems to be a magic weapon, but I don't think this Taoist friend knows that ordinary spiritual water can't carry the shadow fish, I'm afraid it's prepared in vain."
A hint of a smile appeared on the faces of several disciples, as if they were looking at an idiot.
Chen Ang suddenly reprimanded:
"Su Daoyou caught a shadow fish for the first time, and it is not normal to not be able to catch it, as for being well-prepared, what is so funny."
Glancing at Han Qiaozhi, whose face was always indifferent, Chen Ang walked up to Su Xing, smiled lightly, and comforted:
"Su Daoyou doesn't have to mind, I also had to be fortunate to have a special spiritual treasure from the elders in the hall, so I was lucky enough to get some fish. But if you want to catch this shadow fish alone, it's really hard. But since we are the same batch of beginner disciples, we should also help each other, if Brother Su wants to join my fishing team, I can do it at any time. β
"Senior Brother Chen, this is not good, we already have five people in the fishing team, a few more, this is ......"
"Alas...... Anyway, you don't know Senior Brother Chen's character, and he is the most righteous. Even if Senior Brother Chen speaks......"
The smile on Chen Ang's face remained unchanged, enjoying everyone's compliments. His eyes always paid attention to Han Qiaozhi next to him, he did not belittle Su Xing openly, but made some kindness.
But after such a comparison, there must have been a clear contrast between him and Su Xing's personality, prestige, ability, and connections.
Han Qiaozhi didn't say it now, but when the two of them or just this Su Xing entered the fishing team, they could slowly see the gap between the two.
If Su Xing was aware of his intentions and was willful, and did not enter the fishing team, then it would show that the other party was quite naΓ―ve.
No matter which choice he made, he showed himself in front of Han Qiaozhi and stepped on Su Xing invisibly.
A faint feeling of complacent ambition permeated my heart until ...... He heard the sound of "rattling" water.
And the sound of the water stirring like a live fish seems to ...... A fish basket from Su Xing's waist!
The basket is not empty, it is full of ...... What could it be?!
An inexplicable shadow suddenly covered my heart.
At this moment, Su Xing's face was flat, although he saw through the other party's meaning, he didn't care about these false names or anything.
But before he could speak, Han Qiaozhi, who had been indifferent on the side, said coldly:
"Fishing for Shadow Fish...... Is it difficult? β
Chen Ang was stunned for a moment, looked at the fish basket on Su Xing's waist, and then heard Han Qiaozhi's words, the smile on his face suddenly stiffened a little.
However, the disciples behind him did not notice the changes in Chen Ang at all, and when they saw the inner senior sister speak, they immediately enthusiastically explained:
"Senior sister, this really requires some skills. I think that before we came, we all learned how to fish with the predecessors who had been to the Shadow River in the peak, so we dared to say that there were some fishing methods and skills. β
The disciple who was carrying a shadow fish shook the fish on the rocker and said with a smile:
"Senior Sister, don't look at us, we have gained a lot, but it is still thanks to Senior Brother Chen's Yunling Bead."
"You two are novices after all. Senior Brother Chen, you have also seen it, and he is righteous. In my opinion, why don't you two join our fishing team? We may have opinions on others, but for the sake of Senior Brother Chen's face, we are absolutely welcome. Especially you. β
Han Qiaozhi listened silently, seemed to listen, and walked towards Chen Ang.
But soon everyone found out that he was not looking for Chen Ang, but walked to Su Xing next to Chen Ang without squinting.
Meimu looked at Su Xing's somewhat helpless eyes, spread out her hands, and the five slender jade fingers were as delicate and clear as under the void light, and said:
"I regret it, I want half of the fish."
The disciples were stunned in their hearts, fish? What fish?
