The dream came again.

There was blood all over the place, and the one-armed man in purple broke down the door and rushed in.

The flying broken corpse fell on his head, and the one-armed man grinned and chopped it down on the head with a knife. A thin silver light came from the side and blocked the knife light.

I was sweating all over and suddenly woke up from my dream!

Before dawn, Chu Tian wore a fish-skin jacket, went out of the back door of his yard, turned around a few rugged rocks, and arrived at the Baimang River. There were green pines and cypresses standing on both sides, and towering cliffs on the opposite side of the river. There were no boats passing on the river, so no one could see his movements.

I squatted by the water for a while, and a very thin ripple was coming towards me from the center of the river.

A dozen feet away from the shore, a sharp black horn about a foot long cut through the water, and then a ferocious snake head as big as a basket slowly emerged. The two green eyes on the dark snake head flashed with cold and ruthless light, and when it saw Chu Tian, ​​the coldness in its eyes quietly disappeared.

A seven or eight foot long snake body stretched out from the river. The black snake came in front of Chu Tian and licked Chu Tian's nose with its long tongue.

"Brother Tian, ​​I haven't seen you for a while." The black snake's neck trembled, and a sharp voice came: "What's the matter that you need to contact me so urgently? I just happened to be passing by, otherwise it would probably take another three or five days for someone to come over."

Chu Tian pulled out a crude jade bottle from his sleeve, pulled out the cork, and poured out a leopard fetus pill. The withered yellow pill exuded a pungent but timeless scent. The black snake's huge head came over and asked in surprise, "Oh? Pills?"

"Six pills in total!" Chu Tian said in a deep voice, "Send them back to Old Fox and see if he can figure out a prescription. Bring me some herbs next time. Ah Gou and Ah Que have recently reached the border and need the help of medicine to break through."

He stuffed the leopard fetus pill back into the jade bottle, sealed the bottle stopper, and held the medicine bottle in his mouth with a curl of his black snake tongue. He nodded to Chu Tian and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll go back right away. Hiss, there are mountains of medicinal materials in our warehouse, but there are too few pill recipes. Six leopard fetus pills..."

The black snake turned around, and its long body slowly sank into the river.

"Shh, although Mr. Fox's skills have improved recently, don't hold too high hopes. The eight Huiyuan Pills you sent back last time were ruined by him. These six Leopard Embryo Pills may work, or they may not."

"But a few days ago, your tiger father was lucky enough to catch a huge thousand-year-old ginseng. I will bring it to you when I get back. If it is not used in the elixir, the medicinal properties will be wasted by 60-70%, but it can at least nourish your three children."

The black snake sank into the river. Its bucket-thick body shook vigorously, and a faint black light shone from the horns on its head. The resistance of the river water to it suddenly disappeared. The black snake swooped down the riverbed for hundreds of feet, and after a few twists, it swooped over ten miles.

In just a dozen breaths, the black snake had rushed out of the Baimang River and smoothly entered the Dalong River, where the water was several times stronger. The black snake swam downstream and swam rapidly to the southeast of the lower reaches of the Dalong River. More than a thousand miles downstream, there was a vast mountain forest with a variety of scenery, which was also a key place at the junction of three states.

Chu Tian squatted quietly by the river for a while, then looked up to the sky and wailed softly: "Six leopard embryo pills! They haven't even warmed up yet! Old Fox, Old Fox, if you waste things again this time and can't figure out the recipe, next time there's something good, Agou, Aque, and I will definitely eat it first and won't give you a single pill hair!"

There was already a noise coming from the back yard, the snorting of slow horses, the sound of wheels hitting the ground, and the exclamations of the porters who were called in to help, all of which broke the tranquility of the early morning.

Chu Tian stood up and walked along the path back to his yard, where he saw a dozen coachmen and dozens of porters crowded in the yard, looking in amazement at the ten large golden-scaled carps crowded in the pond in the yard.

"Dad, this is more than ten feet, right?"

"Oh, Baimang River hasn't seen such a big fish in many years."

"Isn't it? We can't survive here at the river mouth. We have to go upstream to the most dangerous places with the fastest currents and the deepest waters to find such giant creatures!"

"Wow, Chu Dangtou's skills are really as good as their reputation. In just two days, he actually caught ten big golden carps."

"It's strange, and it's a coincidence. How come these ten golden-scaled carps are all the same length and look almost identical? Could it be that they are ten brothers from the same litter?"

Chu Tian, ​​who had just walked into the yard, suddenly froze in his tracks and almost fell headfirst to the ground.

Aque, who was squatting on the well curb drinking fish soup, suddenly sneezed and was almost choked to death by the soup.

Having already eaten breakfast, Agou, who was standing aside holding the mace, had a smile on his face, revealing two sharp canine teeth, and he was about to make trouble with his teeth bared.

Rat Lord, who was originally standing on the roof triumphantly, looking down at this group of 'ignorant mortals' with a smile, suddenly twitched and almost rolled down from the roof.

Ten golden carps look almost exactly the same? Even their lengths are exactly the same!

Lord Rat stuffed his long tail into his mouth, and tore at his tail with his two shiny front teeth. He wanted to die. What a mistake! What a mistake! He was so busy "making" ten big carps that he forgot about this for a moment!

Chu Tian coughed heavily, stamped his feet, and walked behind the crowd with his hands behind his back and a dignified look on his face: "What are you making such a fuss about? Aren't all carp born the same? Could it be that they are just like humans, with some having a few extra warts and some having baldness, so that you can tell the difference!"

With a hint of humiliation, Chu Tian shouted unreasonably, "Carps of similar length naturally look similar. You guys, a bunch of thieves, can you tell the difference? Or, let you be the fish boss?"

Pulling out the stick from the weapon rack, Chu Tian swung it vigorously, causing the men in the yard to get busy: "Hurry up, hurry up and load the weapons onto the truck and send them to the Jishan Academy! Anyone who delays will have to pay an extra share of money this month!"

A group of coachmen and porters were busy working. One by one, specially made four-wheeled carriages entered the yard. The porters jumped into the pond and scooped up big golden carp one by one with a large net made of coarse hemp ropes, and carefully put them into the water trough on the carriage.

Even with Chu Tian standing by to intimidate them, the laborers still couldn't help but complain: "How strange! How can such a big carp be so obedient? It doesn't even move. Is it dead? But its gills are opening and closing so fast!"

Chu Tian closed his eyes.

How can you expect these carps to struggle? They are foreign creatures created by Lord Rat. They probably don’t have a soul in their brains. They are complete idiots. They have no reaction to external stimuli. How can you expect them to struggle?

Agou at the side coughed lightly, and a trace of animal aura that ordinary people could not feel spread out.
