Jiang Si ignored her foolish apprentice.
The villagers were so hospitable that they invited them into their homes for a drink of water.
With his keen eyes and ears, Director Guo had long known that the two, master and apprentice, were whispering amongst themselves, which meant that something was definitely amiss with the villagers in front of them.
He subconsciously looked at Jiang Si.
Jiang Si instantly transformed into a sweet and innocent girl, flashing a charming smile: "Okay, thank you all, we were thirsty too."
Director Guo and Li Jianshan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with doubt, but they followed Master Jiang's lead.
The two also changed their attitude, abandoning their previous cautiousness: "Yes, we've been rushing here and we are quite thirsty."
The villagers were even happier, and they ushered them into the house, pouring them a glass of water.
Jiang Si drank it all in one gulp, and seeing this, Director Guo and Li Jianshan reluctantly complied.
Two minutes later, Jiang Si slumped onto the table with a thud.
Director Guo collapsed unexpectedly.
Li Jianshan: "..."
He didn't really feel anything, but it seemed like it would be strange if he didn't collapse.
Even Li Jianshan, who had put on his best acting performance, fell down.
Fortunately, he had observed how people should faint on set, and he thought to himself that his acting skills should be passable.
After they fell, the previously lively villagers suddenly fell silent, standing there woodenly as if waiting for some instructions.
After a while, it started to move rustlingly.
Li Jianshan felt someone moving him, and he discovered that even with his eyes closed, he could still see some blurry things.
Jiang Si once said that he would open his third eye sooner or later, and at that time he would be able to observe all things through qi.
It seems that Director Guo really fainted. As for his master, his acting skills are quite good; he portrayed a person who has fainted very realistically.
Soon, they were carried to a cave and roughly thrown aside.
All of them knelt down in unison.
"Your Majesty, these people have been brought here."
"This title is so corny. If you didn't know better, you'd think we were watching an old version of Journey to the West," Li Jianshan muttered to himself.
He peered over discreetly and was horrified to discover what an utterly hideous creature it was.
Wearing bright red shorts that I don't know where they came from, a green T-shirt on top, and a fat fish head on the torso.
The entire fish head is brown, with thick fish lips, tiny green bean eyes the size of rice grains, a thick and blunt flat nose, and a face covered with rugged and dense black and gray patterns. When it speaks, you can see two rows of sharp teeth.
Li Jianshan felt a chill run down his spine.
This thing is giving me trypophobia.
Are these villagers blind?
The ugly fish-headed man walked over and carefully examined the three people who were being carried in. When he saw Jiang Si and Li Jianshan, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"These two are good." The voice was hoarse and had a strange accent, as if the speaker had just learned human language, making it sound awkward and unpleasant.
Li Jianshan: What's good? Should we dull him?
"Take this over there and don't bother me again," said Ugly Fish Head.
The villagers obeyed the order and carried Director Guo away.
Inside the huge cave, only Jiang Si, Li Jianshan, and Ugly Fish Head remained.
Ugly Fish Head squatted down, touched Li Jianshan's face, and said in a hoarse voice, "This should be considered good-looking among humans."
Li Jianshan inwardly screamed: How long are they going to keep up this act?! He's allergic to ugliness! I know I'm good-looking, but that's no excuse for you, you ugly monster, to take liberties with me! Master, give me some instructions! I can't take it anymore!!
Fortunately, at this moment, Ugly Fish Head shifted its target and went to Jiang Si.
"Hehe, my wife is really beautiful."
Li Jianshan: !!!
You can let it go if you take liberties with me, but if you dare touch my master, believe me, I'll turn into a snake and devour you!
Jiang Si opened her eyes and smiled so beautifully that she could topple empires: "Thank you, I know I'm very beautiful."
Ugly Fish Head was initially completely bewitched, but then he came to his senses and his expression changed drastically: "How did you wake up?"
Although the fish head didn't know how it could change its expression, considering that it had barely opened its tiny eyes to the size of soybeans, we can assume it was quite surprised.
Li Jianshan stopped pretending and jumped up, saying, "Your grandpa wasn't dizzy at all."
"No, you're so ugly you don't deserve to be my grandson."
It's unclear which word touched a nerve with the ugly fish head, but it opened its blood-red maw and lunged at Li Jianshan with a "ah ah" sound.
The fish head was so ugly that Li Jianshan couldn't stand it. The power of the black dragon within him erupted, and he punched the ugly fish head from below, knocking it down several meters away with a loud thud.
The ugly fish, with its thick skin and tough flesh, was unharmed and got up to pounce on Li Jianshan again.
Jiang Si wanted to train Li Jianshan's combat skills, so she didn't make a move. She looked at Li Jianshan and said, "Don't beat him to death."
Ugly Fish Head's eyes were red with anger, and his thick lips were trembling. Li Jianshan suspected that he was about to cry at any moment.
"Ahhh, I'll live and die with you!"
Li Jianshan couldn't stand ugliness, and he couldn't stand illiteracy. "This is either you die or I die, you illiterate!"
While the two were locked in a fierce battle, Jiang Si rummaged through Ugly Fish Head's belongings in the house.
Finally, they found a clam shell inside the ugly fish head's simple throne. They opened it, and inside was exactly what he wanted.
The powerful hallucinogens of the siren in the deep sea are almost inescapable for anyone.
Jiang Si put the things away and squinted at the ugly fish head.
As for the antidote, it's the secretion from the ugly fish's gill glands; this stuff has to be taken while it's still alive.
"Li Jianshan, how long are you going to keep bothering with this little monster?" Jiang Si was a little dissatisfied; this disciple was still too weak.
One moment he was called ugly, the next he was called small. Ugly Fish Head finally snapped: "I'll fight you people who judge by appearances!"
"Oh, not bad, you even know a couple of idioms." Li Jianshan wasn't satisfied with just teasing him.
The ugly fish head's power was quite fierce. Fortunately, under Jiang Si's stimulation, Li Jianshan also unleashed his inner power. He swept his leg and tripped the man to the ground, followed by a heavy punch to his chest. At this moment, his power seemed to be enhanced by the black dragon, as if it weighed a thousand pounds.
Ugly Fish Head coughed up a mouthful of blood, but Li Jianshan used an unprecedented amount of waist strength to lean back and avoid it. He patted his chest and said, "That was close."
Jiang Si walked over and squatted down; she was indeed so ugly it was almost unbearable to look at.
She took out a bottle, raised her hand, and a breath escaped from the ugly fish's mouth, which Jiang Si guided into the bottle.
"Come here." After doing all this, Jiang Si called Li Jianshan over, handed him a clam shell, and pointed to the gill glands of the ugly fish head: "He will secrete the antidote here. You can rub it and it will come out. When you have enough, dilute it with water and give it to the villagers to drink, and they will regain their senses."
Li Jianshan walked over.
I found that the fish was even uglier.
It used to have a fish-like face, but now it's a rotten fish face; the skin that was originally in good condition has completely ulcerated.
Li Jianshan rarely felt like crying: "Is there really no other way?" He didn't want to touch it!!!
Jiang Si cruelly shattered his illusion: "No."
