Chapter 273 Candlestick Recognizes its Master
Among this group of people, Xu Chuchu still ranks first in terms of cultivation and experience.
After swimming out of the U-shaped water barrier, Xu Chuchu stuck his head out to look around. Seeing that there was no sign of big fish on either side, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But when he looked forward, he was met with a pair of dull and lifeless eyes and a body as huge as a mountain!
"Ugh——" Xu Chuchu was so frightened that she almost choked on water!
This huge fish was actually waiting for them at the entrance! No wonder the compass didn't react, because the fish was just a wall away from them, so it didn't need to react!
Xu Chuchu immediately shrank back, but it was too late. The big fish had sensed her presence and crashed into it, breaking a lot of the rock walls at the entrance and exposing Xu Chuchu outside.
It was too dangerous to go any further in at this time, so she stepped on a protruding rock, jumped up like a fish, took out the mirror, and shone it directly into the huge fish eye.
The mirror quickly absorbed the surrounding light in the water and then pierced into the eyes of the big fish.
This mirror has the function of revealing evil spirits, and with the added stimulation of light, it began to twist and turn painfully in the water.
Fish don't have eyelids, so they can't avoid this trick at all.
After being hit by the blow, Xu Chuchu didn't dare to relax.
She was very curious about how the fish knew their location and how they had come to wait for them even though they had clearly slipped past them.
Xu Chuchu wanted to tell the others not to come out, but sound could not be transmitted in the water. While she was still trying to find a way to give them a reminder, several people swam out. Seeing that she was being chased, they all came over to help.
While the big fish's eyes had not yet recovered, Xiao Yu used the new folding fan to hit the scales on its back, leaving deep dents.
After changing to new weapons, the combat power was indeed off the charts. The big fish shook its body in pain, forming a huge current of water, which threw Xiao Yu aside and rushed straight towards Xu Chuchu.
Others were also making attacks of varying sizes on the big fish, but it was only chasing Xu Chuchu from beginning to end.
Is it because my eyes hurt too much the first time?
Xu Chuchu dodged another attack, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
She took out the amber candlestick from the bag on her back and pointed it at the big fish.
The candlestick should have no light because it was not lit, but when it was close to the big fish, it emitted a soft glow.
The light shone on the fish in front of him, and its angry attack suddenly slowed down. It swayed its body and slowly approached Xu Chuchu.
On the other side, Daju saw Dayu approaching Xu Chuchu and wanted to rush up to perform a set of cat punches, but was stopped by Xu Chuchu with a gesture.
She poured her spiritual energy into the candlestick, making it glow brighter, and then looked at the big fish, clearly finding that its aggression and murderous intent had disappeared.
The big fish twisted its body and approached her. Its huge mouth carefully touched Xu Chuchu's wrist, and its tail and fins swayed happily.
If Xu Chuchu hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that fish could act like a spoiled child.
Sure enough, the big fish sensed the presence of the candlestick, so it waited for them at the entrance of the cave.
What it has been chasing is either Xu Chuchu or the candlestick itself.
Xu Chuchu's other hand slowly touched the big fish's head and sent a message to the big fish through spiritual power: "You are the fish of the Shen family, right?"
The big fish quickly lowered its head gently to show its affirmation.
Xu Chuchu now understood that this fish was not raised here by the Dog Emperor - perhaps he simply did not have the ability to do so - but was raised here by the Shen family to guard the secret of the lake bottom.
After the Dog Emperor discovered this, he simply sent someone to raise the fish to guard against outsiders for him, or for some other purpose. After all, this fish has strong fighting power and is almost invincible.
The big fish stayed here day after day and year after year, waiting for the new owner holding the candlestick.
The big fish suddenly sank down, retracted its sharp dorsal fin, and began to sway its body towards Xu Chuchu again.
Xu Chuchu understood its intention, gently touched the fish's head, and then sat on its back.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and only when they saw Xu Chuchu waving at them did they slowly sit on the fish.
Is he conquered already? The reversal was too fast, could it be a trap?
Daju hugged Xu Chuchu in fear, ignoring Xiao Yu kicking his butt from behind.
There was no need for Xu Chuchu to say anything else. The big fish swam happily in the water and quickly jumped to the surface of the lake, allowing Xu Chuchu and others on its back to breathe fresh air and finally be able to speak.
"Wow, Chuchu! You are so awesome, how did you get it done in just a few moves!" Daju was finally not afraid now. He boldly stood in the front, posing like the Titanic, and enjoying the cool breeze from the lake.
Xiao Yu took the opportunity to occupy Daju's position and asked Xu Chuchu: "Is it because of that candlestick?"
Xu Chuchu nodded and replied quietly: "It seems to recognize this candlestick as its master."
The big fish took them all the way through the wind and waves and brought them to the shore, which was really impressive.
So much so that the master on the shore was also shocked when he saw them rushing over from afar.
"How did you do this, Chuchu?"
When everyone had reached the shore, the big fish was still wagging its tail joyfully in the water, like a child who was reluctant to see his friend leave.
Xu Chuchu couldn't help but feel fond of the sight. She held the candlestick in one hand and stroked the big fish's head exposed above the water with the other, and saw a hole on its forehead that was hit by Xiao Yu.
"Does it hurt?" she asked.
The big fish shook its head gently.
Xu Chuchu then sprinkled some medicine on the big fish's wound, but the body structures of mammals and fish are different, and the medicine seemed to have no effect.
"It's all the fault of some people. They didn't know how to control their strength." She curled her lips.
Xiao Yu felt very aggrieved after being suddenly criticized.
Wasn't he trying to save her? Besides...she was the one who fought harder in the beginning.
The weather was getting cold now and they should have left immediately, but Xu Chuchu wanted to try it one more time.
She handed the candlestick to Xiao Yu and stepped aside, wanting to see if the big fish only recognized the candlestick, and whoever held the candlestick would be its owner.
If so, they would have to be more careful in keeping the candlesticks.
Xiao Yu understood what she meant, so he took the candlestick and moved closer, even shaking it in front of the big fish, but the fish didn't react at all. It looked at Xiao Yu as if it were a piece of wood.
So Xu Chuchu asked Xiao Yu to leave, and she didn't take the candlestick, and stood next to the big fish.
Unexpectedly, even without the candlestick, the big fish still wagged its tail at her and even jumped up to touch her arm, asking for a touch.
…
After leaving, Xu Chuchu still couldn't understand.
The big fish was very aggressive towards them before, but became friendly after seeing the candlestick. But why did it remain gentle after the candlestick was taken away, and did not react to Xiao Yu who was holding the candlestick?
"Maybe it knows that the person who can light the candlestick is its real owner." Xiao Yu held the candlestick in front of Xu Chuchu and poured spiritual power into it.
But the menorah didn't get any brighter.
It seems that only Xu Chuchu has the ability to control it.
Xu Chuchu carefully took the candlestick and realized that she had been recognized by this magical weapon.
It was also clearer that if she wanted to destroy the Dog Emperor's conspiracy, she had to get directly involved.
Perhaps all of this was written into fate in advance.
