The wine glass in his hand stopped shaking, and the long-haired man suddenly lost the leisurely mood of tasting wine in the rain, and a look of surprise appeared on his handsome face. He looked at Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang on the side and walked straight towards them. They had used wind and water energy before, so they should be two practitioners. Therefore, his attitude was still quite kind, and the previous statement of not picking up passengers was thrown into the muddy river.

"Where are you two going on this boat?"

Standing on the deck, Xia Xiao folded up his umbrella. The wind was too strong and the umbrella would be broken. After all, it was not the rain that he was afraid of, but the wind. However, Xia Xiao casually raised his arm and held up a large umbrella, making the entire front deck free of wind and rain, turning it into a safe harbor.

The invisible action gave Xia Xiao the capital to take the boat. He stood in front of the man, bowed slightly, and said:

"We are going to the beach. Captain, please make room for us."

"This ship never takes trespassers. Do you understand, little brother?"

Since he was a cultivator, he was naturally worthy of respect, but as a captain with this authority, he had to be polite. Otherwise, it would break the rules and make people on the river think his boat was easy to ride. Seeing that there was no difficulty in his eyes, Xia Xiao's attitude was quite kind. He didn't want to beat the captain and then take him to the beach, so he pointed his finger forward and said:

"There are a few loaches ahead. I'll help the captain deal with them. Let us take this favorable boat trip. How about that?"

"What is the loach you are talking about?"

"The Captain will know in a moment."

Xia Xiao and Azhu walked to the front of the front deck and looked at the river surface shrouded in the night.

The little boy in the cockpit ran out and asked the captain.

"who are they?"

"have no idea."

"Can they take the boat?"

"They are all cultivators, and they are still so young. They are probably not insignificant figures. I have to give them some face."

The boy nodded, still holding the telescope in his hand. He looked at the strange man and woman through the telescope, and then looked in the direction they were looking at the river and the sea ahead, but there was nothing. In fact, the captain was also curious. Could the loach they were talking about be real loach? Could it be referring to some kind of wild animal in the water?

Beside Xia Xiao, Ah Zhu asked:

"You want to catch loaches?"

"no."

"What a waste of joy! I still want to eat braised loach."

"You'll die of hunger sooner or later."

"Bullshit, I've only eaten one apple this morning, and I'm almost starving. You didn't even prepare some food before you went out, at least bring some rice balls! You didn't even tell me when you called me this morning, and I've been drinking water all day, and my stomach is full of water, shaking..."

"Come on, I'll treat you to fish later."

Ah Zhu's eyes lit up. She liked to eat fish. When she was a child, she always got angry, so her grandmother would catch some small crucian carps and add a kind of wild vegetable called car box to make soup. Although it had many bones, it was very fragrant. Seeing her greedy and silly smile, Xia Xiao shook his head secretly. To put it bluntly, a dog will always eat shit.

"If you're really hungry, I have biscuits in my backpack."

"Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Ah Zhu blamed him, but after thinking for a while, he stopped and hugged the backpack that Xia Xiao handed over. There was fish to eat soon, why would he still eat biscuits?

Fish can be braised, steamed or fried, and it smells delicious just thinking about it. She wasn't that hungry, and on rainy days, people's moods would always reduce their appetites a little bit, but she still took out a biscuit and ate it to fill her stomach, otherwise she would be too hungry to eat the fish.

With empty hands, Xia Xiao jumped off the deck, startling the captain and the boy. They hurried forward, but Xia Xiao was no longer visible on the river. In such a turbulent current, even a water practitioner would be in danger, just like a fish can drown. So the long-haired man's face showed anxiety, thinking that he couldn't die like this and leave a girl behind.

Ah Zhu was chewing biscuits, still smiling.

"It's okay, he'll be back soon."

"Everyone is gone, how can you come back?"

"Little wheel!"

The boy shut up immediately after being scolded by the captain.

Just as the boy was muttering in his heart, thinking that the man was just playing tricks, the river surface exploded. The river water in front of him was extremely chaotic, like a boiling pot, the turbid river water kept rising, like a huge meteorite falling, and the ripples on the river surface were exaggerated, and a bigger wave was about to hit.

"Hold on!"

The captain tried his best to stabilize the river water around him. When the boy and Azhu fell on the deck, the big ship let out a long shrill cry, as if it was also struggling.

"What's that calling?"

"Under this boat, there is a large porpoise."

Ah Zhu let out a long "oh", but he had never seen a finless porpoise, and he didn't know what it looked like, like a very obvious perfunctory. The boy looked at him, his eyes looking at him as if he were an idiot. Ah Zhu was not unfamiliar with this kind of look, but he was secretly angry. Why did Xia Xiao look at him like this, and this little brother also looked at him like this? How rude!

Xia Xiao couldn't hear Ah Zhu's nagging now. He was under the river, swimming very fast, with a ghostly figure, like a mermaid. This was his first time fighting in the water after gaining the power of water. He wanted to see how strong the power of water was in this special place.

Among the five elements, water is most dependent on terrain advantages, but with advantages, it is difficult to defeat!

The reason for the explosion on the river surface was the mud dragons. They always left the riverbed on rainy days and came to the surface to harm passing ships. When they appeared in the water, with three heads and extremely strong upper bodies sticking out, the long-haired man frowned even more. He thought he could rush out of their territory with his speed, but he didn't expect that they had already started to move before he entered.

The three-headed mud dragon was a fierce god in this area, destroying many ships and killing many people. Therefore, most ships only dared to travel on sunny days, but there were too few sunny days in the south.

"Since the three have come out together, it seems we are in danger."

The captain sighed, feeling disappointed. This fourth-level wild beast, with the excellent water advantage on the river, would not lose at all. He could only tie with two wild beasts at best, and this time there were three of them, so he could not defeat them.

The boat dodged the waves under the heave of the giant porpoise, but it was about to hit the mud dragon in a minute. Their doom was not far away.

"Why are you so frustrated? He'll be done with the fight in no time."

Ah Zhu didn't like being ignored, but her words were too weak, and even became the captain and the boy's nonsense. This mud dragon was extremely fast, cunning and manic, and very difficult to deal with. This time, three of them were dispatched. Today, I can only admit defeat. How can I say it's over? However, the long-haired man is the captain. The ship will die, but the people will die. He must hold on until the last moment.

Looking back at his boat, the long-haired man couldn't help but sigh, feeling really sorry for the passengers on this boat, who had accompanied him on his adventure and were buried in the river. The long-haired man began to mourn, but in the water, Xia Xiao was controlling the water around him, with a hint of interest on his lips.

The controlled river water rolled up and cleaned the loaches that kept falling into the muddy water. With this thick layer of mud, it was difficult for him to attack, but these water dragons that were nearly 100 meters tall were no different from loaches, except that they were more ferocious. When the thick layer of mud fell off, the mud dragons were no longer strong, and at most they were just not thin. But the three pairs of blood-red eyes stared at Xia Xiao underwater, rolling over and about to swallow him.

The thick mud they relied on to scare people was gone, and they became furious, and began to roll over after the mud and water fell into the river. But Xia Xiao's speed in the water was amazing, and even when the three loaches rushed towards him with the river water, he still twisted in it, and was even more slippery than them.

The river water was turbid, with wooden planks and stones, and bone flags and sails. They were lifted up from the bottom of the river by the mud dragon, making this river area darker than the dark clouds in the sky. Xia Xiao had lost his vision inside, but these three behemoths were only level 4, without the intelligence of level 5 wild beasts, and could not even hide their breath. Therefore, Xia Xiao kept flashing past them with his keen perception. Even if their bodies were carrying the fast-moving river water, they could not break the water around Xia Xiao's body.

Controlling water and wind is similar in that it requires using one's vital energy to transform into the purest water or wind and wrap oneself in it. In this way, natural waves and strong winds will not be able to harm oneself.

Xia Xiao passed by the loach, and water on his arm swirled like a blade. The blade pierced the loach's skin, and because it was made of water, it would not slide aside like iron. The loach struggled, but this invisible blade connected to the surrounding river water was like thousands of needles and awls, splitting its body from the inside.

The other two loaches did not retreat or show any excitement. They just charged forward as before. Although they caused ripples in the river water, they looked pitiful and had no idea that they were about to die.

Two loaches came from both sides. Xia Xiao squeezed his hands, and the muddy river water around him became two big knives, moving with his rotation. The knives were sharp, slashing from the loach's flank, ripping it open in a second. Even if it was fierce, it would just flutter around for a while and then no longer pose a threat.

Xia Xiao closed his eyes, grabbed the tail of a loach, jumped out of the river, and slammed it hard on the river beside him, causing the river surface to rise with a loud noise. When the river water receded, countless river fish were stunned and fell on the deck, becoming today's sumptuous dinner. How happy Ah Zhu was, how shocked the captain and the boy were. That mud dragon had been gutted?

The mud dragon was very strong and kept trembling on the river surface, as if it needed help. However, its intestines and internal organs had fallen into the river. How could it be saved? Besides, no one would care about it, and it was considered a good thing that they didn't eat its meat. The death of this river bully would be a blessing to the residents of the southern country, and the gospel would resound on both sides of the river.

Xia Xiaowan landed on the river surface in one step. He did not sink, but just stood on it, waiting for the boat to come. The river water hit the edge of his shoes, but it could not wet them. They just bore the dirty water left on Xia Xiao's body. This was the dirtiest river he had ever seen. He smelled bad. Even if all the water on his body was drained, there was still a fishy smell that was hard to wipe off.

The smell was a bit unpleasant, and Xia Xiao felt a little annoyed, but in Azhu's nose, it was all the aroma of food on the table.

The long-haired man, who was still worried that the boat would hit the mud dragon, was grabbed by Ah Zhu's arm and suddenly shuddered. Ah Zhu didn't notice anything, nor did he sneer, but just said excitedly:

"Hurry up and heat up the oil. We're having fish tonight!"
