Chapter 72 Is this good luck?
"It's quiet now!" Qi Lian clapped his hands, feeling uncomfortable and rubbed his clothes again, as if he had touched something dirty.
A few of them wanted to have some fun, but time was running out. They quickly decided on their return route, but before they could even start, the electric eels caught up with them, probably following their scent. This saved them a lot of effort. Yun wanted to first cast an acceleration talisman on the fishing boat, maneuvering it in a constant circle to gather the mutant electric eels.
These electric eels are also strange. They always keep a unified pace. They attack together and rest together. Yun Xiang guessed that this should be a tactic for the purpose of the underwater power grid.
Yun wanted to stop the fishing boat while the electric eels recovered their power, but the electric eels automatically formed a circle and were ready to attack.
"3, 2, 1—"
"Boom!" A series of violent noises erupted, and a variety of talismans exploded on the water's surface, countless streams of electricity coursing through them. Sparks flew everywhere, blurring everything. By the time the water calmed, Yun thought they had already used the expedited talisman to escape the attack range.
"Do you think the electric eel is dead?" Qi Lian patted his chest. The first time he escaped, he was in a daze and didn't feel much. This time, he was fully awake and felt that the scene was extremely shocking.
They glanced at each other and shook their heads. The scene was too chaotic. Half an hour later, Yun Xiang noticed that the electric eels had caught up, and not a single one was missing.
"Damn it! What a shame for the Talisman Society!" Lin Ziyu was the first to explode. The others looked horrified. They really had... a dark history, an absolute dark history.
The crowd rushed forward again, furious, and another round of chase ensued. Yun Xiang threw the Ice Talisman into the water, and the complex runes moved in all directions, "crackling"... everywhere they touched, thick layers of ice formed. A hundred miles around, everything turned into a glacier, even the electric eels that were generating electricity were instantly transformed into ice sculptures.
The runes stopped spreading, and Qi Lian was the first to jump out of the boat and step onto the glacier.
"Pah, pah!" Qi Lian jumped and stomped on the ice stupidly, but the ice was very solid and didn't move at all.
"Don't jump. You're frozen from head to toe." Zhao Xueyue climbed onto the ice and looked inside.
Qi Lian suddenly rushed to Yun Xiang's side and circled around her three times. "Are you a little monster?"
Hey, Yun wants to glare. Is there a way to describe someone like that?
"Haha, you're amazing!" Qi Lian was truly impressed. "I feel like I've spent four years learning talisman making for nothing."
"Are first-year students this talented now?" Huang Shanshan was a little confused. "Are you from a talisman-making family?"
"No." Yun Xiang shook his head, pondered for a moment, and came up with a reason that everyone could accept. He didn't want to be labeled a 'talisman-making wizard' or anything like that, nor did he want to put pressure on others, or even lose faith. "Someone taught me."
She learned carving techniques from her grandfather and inherited the wooden talisman book. Her grandfather was her master.
"Oh, so that's how it is. You're so scary. We're almost questioning our lives." Zhao Xueyue patted her chest and made a reassuring gesture.
"So, it's not as scary as you think. I started practicing basic skills when I was two years old. I'm 19 years old this year. How many years do you think I have been practicing?" Without the foundation of carving skills, she would not have been able to enter the field of talisman making so quickly.
Grandpa is her guardian angel. Although he seems to have done nothing, he has actually planned her life. As long as she follows the path he has planned, she will be able to live a safe and smooth life. She believes so confidently.
"Hearing what you said, I feel like I'm still not working hard enough." Lin Ziyu was suddenly filled with emotion and secretly resolved to double her practice in the future.
"This electric eel is frozen. How do we get it out?" Yun Xiang looked at the electric eel under the ice and felt a headache.
"That's easy. I have an ice melting charm. I just need to make sure the electric eel is dead."
"He's dead." Yun Xiang could guarantee that the temperature of the ice talisman was extremely low, and anyone who was sealed in it would be frozen to death in less than a minute.
Next, Yun Xiang used Lin Ziyu's ice-melting talisman to melt a hole in the ice, while the others worked together to drag the electric eel. The eel was slippery and difficult to catch, but Lin Ziyu, a wood-type psychic, wove a net with vines, covering the eel, and together they pulled it up.
They caught 13 electric eels in total, and each of the six of them received two. They decided to sell the last one to the manufacturing company. How the company would divide the profits was beyond their consideration. After harvesting the eels, the frozen river still showed no signs of melting, and Yun Xiang had no idea how long it would last. Unwilling to wait, they packed up their fishing boats and set out on foot across the ice.
When we reached the edge of the ice, a strange scene came into view, half river water and half glacier. We became very interested and took many photos, preparing to go back and post them on the Star Network.
"Do you still want to eat fish?" Lin Ziyu teased Qi Lian.
"Eat, why not eat!" Qi Lian was not easily frightened.
Since no one wanted to return to shore, they continued rowing. Luckily, they didn't encounter any attacking beasts this time. However, while using the acceleration talisman, they accidentally stumbled into the territory of the Four-Leaf Phoenix White Tail. Due to their unfamiliarity with the manual braking technique, they crashed into several spiritual plants, causing the president great distress.
The few people ignored her and picked the ones near the fishing boat first.
Seeing Bai Yan mumbling softly and showing signs of waking up, Qi Lian gave her another blow without hesitation, and Bai Yan fainted again.
"Hey, you're lucky to wake up at this time!" Is this good luck? Yun Xiang was suspicious. If she hadn't woken up, she wouldn't have to take this blow. But she wouldn't sympathize with her. She would take the same blow in her place.
Everyone happily finished picking the four-leaf whitetail and leisurely returned to the shore, admiring the sunset. Qi Lian finally caught the fish he had been looking for all day, and it was the fish Yun had always wanted to catch.
The fish was very small, only palm-length, similar to the authentic Yellow River fish Yun Xiang had eaten in her previous life. Its meat was delicious, stewed or grilled. Bai Yan sat not far away, glaring at the men with a look of resentment. They'd knocked her out, and then not given her anything to eat. She'd made up her mind: none of these men could escape.
Everyone had been hungry all day and had no time to pay attention to her, so they just followed her.
Bai Yan surprisingly didn't make a fuss. She patiently waited for them to finish eating and asked, "How did you kill the electric eel?"
"So you want to know this. No wonder you're so obedient." Qi Lian laughed and paused deliberately, "Electric eel!"
"Ah what?" Bai Yan tried her best to suppress the anxiety in her heart and keep her face calm.
“Run away!”
"They ran away!" Bai Yan stood up suddenly, pointed her index finger at Qi Lian's face, and scolded, "What the hell did you do to let them run away?"
"What does it have to do with you? Morality!" Qi Lian slapped Bai Yan's hand away, "If you can't beat me, just run away!"
"Really?" Bai Yan was suspicious, feeling that things were not that simple.
"You're so scared, it's normal that we can't beat you."
"...Hmph, you coward!" Bai Yan turned around and quickly walked back to her tent. The reason she walked so quickly was mainly because she was worried about being beaten by Qi Lian.
"Oh, this disgusting woman——"
"Alright, Qi Lian! Look at the way she ran away, is there any need to bother with her?"
"That's right."
