The King of Black Fog

"The situation is turning grim," one said.

"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.

...

Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...

Chapter 525 What I Saw at the Bottom of the Lake

"Yes!" The two nodded.

When it comes to matters of life and death, no one dares to joke about it.

The three of them assigned directions: Jiang Xiaoyue was in the sand, while aquatic monsters like clams lived in the mud.

Xu Ni is in charge of the coral reef;

Fairy is aquatic plant.

The water plants were tall and dense. She parted them with her hands and walked in, as if she had entered a reed marsh.

Startled, countless small fish and shrimp quickly hid and avoided the enormous creature.

As Shenxian'er recalled "The Illustrated Guide to 500 Monsters of Wangyue Lake," she walked through the water plants.

She would occasionally surface, coming above the swaying water plants to confirm her position with the other two and ensure their safety.

As the water plants swayed gently, a silver-ringed water snake raised its head, and the man and the snake stared at each other.

The fairy held her breath.

She carefully examined the water snake in front of her.

It has a membrane at the nostrils to prevent lake water from entering, a flat body, and a paddle-shaped tail.

The "Illustrated Compendium of Five Hundred Low-Level Monsters of Wangyue Lake" records: Silver Ring Snake, highly venomous, its lungs almost occupy its entire body, its skin is indestructible and can be used to make magic robes, and its venomous fangs can be used to make flying needles.

Whoosh!

The silver-ringed water snake's tail shot out like a silver lightning bolt.

Shen Xian'er raised her hand to block, and the light blue transparent shield fell down like a city gate.

At the same time, she shouted, "Silver Ringed Snake! Come quick!"

With a sudden bubbling sound, Jiang Xiaoyue and Xu Ni rapidly approached each other.

The silver-ringed snake, having missed its attack, turned and fled, disappearing into the layers of water plants.

The fairy had already reached into her sleeve, pinched a water bullet talisman, and seeing that only a snake tail remained, she hurriedly threw the talisman out.

The talisman quickly became wet in the water, and five water bullets condensed.

"go!"

Bang!

The water plants burst open, and grass clippings flew everywhere. Shenxian'er herself was caught in the blast and instinctively put her hands in front of her to block it.

Jiang Xiaoyue had already rushed forward and saw a flash of silver light being blasted by a water bomb and rolling in the water. She raised her hand and struck out with her carrying pole.

She practiced for a month on the book "The Gods Said There Are 14,600 Ways to Use a Carrying Pole," but only mastered one move.

The muscles and bones loosen, and the magical power expands in a spiral.

boom!

With a muffled thunderous sound, white bubbles dispersed, and the silver-ringed snake was stunned, falling like a rope towards the water plants.

Jiang Xiaoyue carried it on a shoulder pole.

Xu Ni took something out of her handbag and shook it vigorously; the object unfolded like a fish basket.

"Xiaoyue!" She opened the fish basket.

Jiang Xiaoyue waved her hand, and the silver-ringed snake fell into the fish basket. Xu Ni immediately closed the opening.

"Two spirit stones in hand!" Xu Ni exclaimed excitedly.

Jiang Xiaoyue smiled and turned to look at Shen Xian'er: "Xian'er, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, pfft!" Fairy spat out the water plants from her mouth.

"Xian'er, well done!" Xu Ni praised.

"It's just luck," Shenxian'er said modestly.

"Very good!" Jiang Xiaoyue gripped the carrying pole tightly. "Keep going, and try to make a fortune!"

Seeing that the two were full of energy and ready to leave to continue the search, Shenxian'er hurriedly said, "Xiaoyue, Nizi, silver ring snakes live in groups, there are probably twenty or thirty of them, big and small. Let's search together in the water plants."

"Twenty or thirty? That's like striking it rich!" Xu Ni's eyes lit up.

Jiang Xiaoyue asked in surprise, "Xian'er, how did you know?"

"It's written in the book."

"You read books? You actually have money to read books?" Xu Ni was stunned, as if she were seeing a fairy for the first time.

"I...I love reading the most!" Shenxian'er puffed out her rounded chest.

Li Changzhou chuckled, only letting Shenxian'er hear it, and Shenxian'er's face flushed slightly.

How can you manage without reading books?

How can a cultivator who usually focuses on their cultivation suddenly gain knowledge when they go out to travel? They can even talk about the most obscure and rare objects in great detail?

Jiang Xiaoyue hesitated: "The venom of the silver-ringed snake is very potent, and there are many of them. Just in case, let's forget about it."

"Ah..." Xu Ni was disappointed, but did not object.

Shenxian'er glanced at the crater she had created and suggested, "Why don't we throw talismans outside to drive the snake out?"

Before the two could speak, she raised her hand and pulled up her sleeve: "Tamacles, plenty of them."

Her slender arms were thickly wrapped with talismans, like two rolls of toilet paper.

Jiang Xiaoyue already knew this and didn't react much, but Xu Ni was once again shocked—they had money to read books and so many talismans!

"...Xian'er, do you mind that I don't have Que'er?"

"Sparrow?" Fairy asked, puzzled.

Jiang Xiaoyue pinched Xu Ni, who screamed in pain and struck a pose in the water that even monsters would find strange.

"Hurry up and move!" Jiang Xiaoyue shouted.

Xu Ni was responsible for using the water bullet technique, and she was also holding a fish basket.

The name "Shield Wall" might be more appropriate for the immortal's shield technique.

Jiang Xiaoyue was carrying a shoulder pole.

One bombs to clear the way, one defends, and one is responsible for stunning the enemy.

The three divided the tasks and began clearing away the water plants.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

......

An hour later, three waterweed people appeared.

Xu Ni, with a blade of grass stuck in her hair, inhaled another round of fish-sucking grass, then laughed heartily while holding the fish basket.

"We've struck it rich! We've struck it rich! Six big snakes, two spirit stones each, twelve spirit stones in total! Fourteen small snakes, one and a half spirit stones each, seven spirit stones in total! Sisters, we've already made nineteen spirit stones!"

Nineteen spirit stones!

Farming from dawn till dusk for a quarter, after taxes, only yields a spirit stone and a few crystals; fishing for two hours is equivalent to three or four years' worth of income!

If this were in silver, it would be worth a full 1.9 million taels!

"Keep going!" Jiang Xiaoyue was also very excited. "Let's aim for twenty spirit stones per person, then we'll stop immediately!"
