Chapter 441 A Black Snake Appears at the Bottom of the Lake, Trying to Eat People

Lin Luoxi saw Xie Leyao's thumb being tightly pinched by a crab claw. She wanted to laugh but didn't dare, so she turned her head away and chuckled quietly.

Sigh, when you're catching shrimp, you're bound to get pinched. You only learn how to catch crabs after you get pinched.

Xie Hanchuan, Xie Zhili, and the others gathered around, removed the crab that was clamped around Xie Leyao, and comforted her. After a while, Xie Leyao finally stopped.

Seeing that Lin Luoxi's bucket was getting more and more crabs, Xie Leyao forgot about being sad and continued to look for crabs.

Seeing Xie Leyao busy picking up crabs, Xie Zhili, Xie Zhiyan, Xie Zhiheng, and Xie Zhichu stopped fishing and joined in picking up crabs as well.

"Mom, these crabs are so big, how are we going to eat them!" Xie Zhili, who had filled a bucket to the brim, was carrying crabs that were bigger than his face.

“Steamed is naturally the best…” Lin Luoxi mentioned, glancing at her son and seeing the large crab in Xie Zhili’s hand. She looked shocked.

"Zhili, this crab of yours is... way too big!"

"Mom, look, the crabs in my little sister's bucket are even bigger than the one I'm holding."

"This, this..." Lin Luoxi walked over and was stunned when she saw the crabs weighing at least three pounds in Xie Leyao's bucket.

This place isn't the seaside, so how come the freshwater crabs are so big?

"Alright, we've collected so many, let's cook them and see if they taste good!" It's the first time I've seen freshwater crabs this big, and I don't know if they'll taste good.

"Daddy, start the fire!" Upon hearing that they could cook, the five little foodies loudly urged Xie Hanchuan to start the fire.

"Alright!" Xie Hanchuan put down his fishing rod and started a fire.

Lin Luoxi carried all the crabs, including her own and the children's, onto the steamer rack and began steaming them.

"Wow, so fresh!" The five little foodies waiting by the pot exclaimed with satisfaction as they smelled the delicious aroma wafting from it.

"Alright, it's almost ready to eat." Lin Luoxi calculated the time, immediately told Xie Hanchuan to turn off the heat, and opened the pot lid.

"Wow, it looks delicious!" Seeing the crabs in the pot turn bright red, the five little foodies had suspicious liquid dripping from the corners of their mouths.

"Don't rush, it's still a little hot." Seeing the five little foodies trying to stick out their little paws, Lin Luoxi slapped their outstretched hands away.

"I'll take the whole pot of this stuff."

Just as the five little foodies were hoping the crabs in the pot would cool down quickly, a very discordant sound came from the grove.

Lin Luoxi and her family of seven didn't even turn their heads; they were only focused on the food in the pot.

"Hey, did you hear what I said?" Seeing that no one was paying attention to the family, Huang Jiangguo ordered the people behind him to take action.

He was playing in the woods when he smelled a fragrance and came looking for it, but to his surprise, these unruly people ignored him.

Having been pampered since childhood, he had never been treated so coldly, so he simply ordered his servant to teach these arrogant commoners a lesson.

"Son, daughter, whether we can have a quiet meal today depends on you two..." Lin Luoxi said without looking up, directly dumping this arduous task on her five children.

"Don't worry, Mother, we'll finish it!" Xie Zhiheng patted his chest and assured her.

"Okay!" Lin Luoxi nodded.

The five little brats rushed over and started fighting with the guards of Huangjiang Kingdom.

"Hmph, haha..." The five little foodies used the tricks taught by Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan in order to eat the delicious crabs as soon as possible.

"Wife, are you really comfortable letting these five deal with so many people?" There were about fifty of them, and Xie Hanchuan was genuinely worried that his children wouldn't be able to handle it.

"What are you afraid of? We're here to watch over them and make them suffer."

“Besides, they’re all grown up now, they should learn to be independent. We can’t always be there to help them.” Lin Luoxi sat on the stool, but her eyes were always on her five children.

If they encountered a stronger opponent, Lin Luoxi would offer guidance from the sidelines.

It was indeed a bit difficult for five children to deal with fifty adult thugs, but with Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan's guidance, they were able to win by a narrow margin.

Seeing that everyone's attention was drawn to the five children, Huang Jiangguo quietly crept up to the pot.

"Mom, he's planning to steal some food!" Xie Leyao, who was fighting while keeping an eye on the pot, called out to Lin Luoxi unhappily.

Lin Luoxi didn't turn around, but casually waved her sleeve.

"Ah! Help!" Huang Jiangguo was caught off guard and was swept into the lake by Lin Luoxi. He couldn't swim, so he cried out for help in fear.

The guards who were fighting with the five children on the shore stopped what they were doing when they didn't expect their master to be thrown into the lake.

The thought that if anything happened to Huang Jiangguo, they would all perish as well, caused the fifty men to jump into the lake like dumplings being dropped into water.

"Glug glug..." Just as the Huang family guards were swimming frantically toward Huang Jiangguo, the water around Huang Jiangguo suddenly began to swirl and glug.

"Mother, something's wrong! Something in the water is trying to suck him in!" Xie Leyao cried out to Lin Luoxi in alarm as she sensed the creature awakening at the bottom of the lake.

"Brother Han Chuan, watch over the child, I'll go check on him." After all, she was the one who threw Wang Jiangguo into the lake; he couldn't possibly die.

Using his lightness skill, he quickly flew towards Huangjiang Kingdom.

Xie Hanchuan flew to the children's side, led the five children away from the lakeside, and looked warily in Lin Luoxi's direction.

As Lin Luoxi was about to fly to Huangjiang Kingdom, the creature at the bottom of the lake seemed to know that Lin Luoxi was coming to rescue its prey, and increased its suction.

Seeing this, Lin Luoxi conjured up a halberd out of thin air and plunged into the bottom of the lake.

"mother!"

"daughter in law!"

Standing in a safe position, Xie Hanchuan and Xie Zhili, along with their five children, saw Lin Luoxi plunge into the lake and shouted anxiously and worriedly.

But Lin Luoxi's figure had already disappeared into the bottom of the lake, leaving only the swirling eddies on the surface.

"Wow!" What a huge black snake.

Lin Luoxi sank to the bottom of the valley and saw a black snake at least as thick as her, its mouth wide open, sucking hard at Huang Jianguo's position.

"You're courting death!" Lin Luoxi found the black snake's weak spot and thrust out the halberd in her hand.

"Aww..." The black snake let out a low growl similar to that of a cow in pain, gave up sucking Huang Jiangguo's blood, and rolled around in the lake in agony.

Because of the black snake's movements, huge waves surged in the calm lake, one higher than the next, and the waves were tinged with blood.

Just by looking at this scene, you can tell how powerful the creature at the bottom of the lake is.

"Children, stay on the tree and be good. I'm going to find your mother..." Xie Hanchuan settled the five children on the ancient tree and, after making sure there was no danger, turned to find Lin Luoxi.

Lin Luoxi and Huang Jiangguo were thrown aside by the giant wave. Huang Jiangguo fainted and his body slowly sank.
