Chapter 503 New Road, Reasons for Lower Water Level

"Brother Su, you can take this fish away."

The white-browed old man raised his head, looked at Su Mu, and said seriously.

Hearing this, Su Mu was stunned and felt a little strange, so he asked: "Is this fish special?"

Su Mu was not a fool, and of course he noticed the change in the white-browed old man's mood. He seemed to value this fish very much.

Hearing this, the old man with white eyebrows did not intend to hide it and said, "This fish is the most special one among all the fish I raise."

After saying that, Su Mu glanced at the transparent fish in his hand, raised his head and said, "In that case, I'll give it back to you."

Just when Su Mu was about to release the fish, the old man with white eyebrows stopped him: "Brother Su, wait a minute."

"That's not what I meant."

"Although this fish is special, it can't play its best role if it stays with me."

"What I mean is, I hope Brother Su can take good care of it and not release it into the river."

This fish is the biggest escape route that the old man with white eyebrows has left for himself. Now he has decided to give away this "escape route" and take a new one.

Hearing this, Su Mu carefully looked at the transparent fish in his hand, but no matter how he looked at it, he could not find anything special about this fish.

The smell of this fish is very ordinary, even weak, and it can't be called a "treasure fish" at all.

"Brother Su, this fish has not really grown up yet. You will know when Brother Su raises it to a certain size."

The old man with white eyebrows paused and said with a smile: "Although this fish is special, it only has special meaning to me because it is the first fish I raised in this pond."

"It won't affect me in any way, Brother Su, don't feel any psychological burden."

"I just hope Brother Su can take good care of it."

He was worried that Su Mu would be embarrassed to accept it, so he said this on purpose.

Before, he was afraid that Su Mu would take it away, but now he was afraid that Su Mu would not take it away.

"Actually, I also have a small request." The old man with white eyebrows was afraid that Su Mu would not accept it, so he continued, "If someone asks you about me, I want Brother Su to help me keep it secret and not reveal that I live here."

Hearing this, Su Mu was stunned.

"Because I have many enemies." The old man with white eyebrows laughed.

After these words came out, Su Mu smiled and said, "It's a small matter, a small matter."

"I told you, if you encounter any difficulties, just tell me and I will definitely help you if I can."

Unknowingly, the relationship between the two people became closer.

The two sat in the yard and talked.

Although it was the first time they met, Su Mu could feel the white-browed old man's sincerity towards him, at least he really wanted to make friends with him.

Su Mu doesn't have many friends, so making one more friend means having another way out. When cultivating immortals, one needs to pay more attention to one's personal connections.

"It's getting late, I have to leave."

Su Mu looked up and saw that it was getting dark, then stood up and said.

Things on the river have been getting increasingly unsettled lately, and he basically has to go home at night.

Hearing this, the white-browed old man also stood up and said, "Well, then I won't keep Brother Su here. You can come anytime you want in the future. You are most welcome."

After finishing speaking, the old man with white eyebrows thought of something and continued, "Brother Su, I think I should know some clues about the reason for the drop in water level."

When these words came out, Su Mu raised his eyebrows: "Brother Yang knows?"

"I'm just guessing, I'm not sure." Although the old man with white eyebrows has withdrawn from all the struggles in the world and no longer pays attention to them, he has now decided to follow Su Mu's path, so he has to do something at least.

"It's getting late. Since Brother Su is busy, I'll take you to see it next time when I'm free."

"It's not very busy." Su Mu replied.

"Then please follow me, Brother Su."

After saying that, the white-browed old man took Su Mu towards the water outside.

The two walked on the water, one in front and one behind, moving step by step towards the depths of the water.

As he walked, Su Mu discovered that the deeper he went, the faster the water flowed under his feet.

The water flow speed is almost ten times faster than that of the main river channel, but the terrain here is flat. Why is there such a big difference in water flow speed?

The old man with white eyebrows walked very slowly, but this was already his fastest speed. It was not easy for him to walk on the water of time under such a high-speed water flow.

Su Mu, who was following behind him, was not in a hurry to urge him.

After walking for about half an hour, we heard the sound of running water ahead.

The deeper you go, the louder the sound of the water becomes.

Finally, the two came to a junction.

There was a protruding bluestone at the junction. After the two stood on it, the old man with white eyebrows pointed to the front and said, "I'm not sure if it's because of this..."

Su Mu looked forward and his pupils suddenly shrank.

In front of him was a huge abyss, a hundred meters wide and bottomless. There were ten tributaries rushing towards the bottom of the abyss. A large amount of water flowed into the abyss every minute and every second.

The whole scene was very spectacular.

This abyss madly and greedily swallowed up the water flowing in. This abyss seemed to have no bottom, swallowing up everything.

Seeing this scene, Su Mu took a breath of cold air. With this amount of water being lost, it would be strange if the water level in the river did not drop!

"Has this abyss always existed?"

Su Mu asked the white-browed old man.

Because this abyss is right near the old man with white eyebrows, he should be very clear about it as he has lived here for so many years.

Hearing this, the white-browed old man shook his head and said, "No."

“It showed up three months ago.”

"Three months ago?" After hearing the white-browed old man accurately say the time, Su Mu also frowned.

"I'm not sure about the exact time, but it was about three months ago."

"At that time, I was taking a nap in the yard. Suddenly, I heard a loud noise and the whole ground began to shake violently. I could feel the obvious tremors in the yard."

A look of reminiscence emerged on the white-browed old man's face, and a hint of fear flashed in his pupils.

At that time, he thought something big had happened in the long river of time.

"I followed the noise and found this place, and then I saw this abyss."

"I guess this was blasted out abruptly."

As he spoke, the old man with white eyebrows swallowed his saliva unconsciously. In the entire universe, the only people who could blast out such an abyss in the river of time were those standing at the top of the pyramid.

Hearing this, Su Mu fell into deep thought.

Three months ago

Logically speaking, with his divine sense, he would be aware of any disturbance on the river. It was impossible for him not to notice such a big commotion here.

"Brother Yang, can you recall carefully how many days ago it was?" Su Mu asked the white-browed old man.
