Chapter 19 Fish Demon
Li Yuan put down the treasure chest and looked around again. He didn't miss anything about the river, reeds, grass, fish, sky, or ground, but he couldn't see anything unusual at all!
Li Yuan was inexplicably impatient. "I've taken the treasure chest, I've used the electricity! You can come out if you want, or hide if you want, but you won't come out and won't let me leave! What kind of nonsense is this?!"
He's not afraid of direct confrontation, but he's afraid of underhanded tactics!
Is Lao Liu hiding in the bushes again?! I don't even play Xiao Qiao!
Li Yuan took a deep breath to suppress his agitation. Since that's the case, he might as well put in some effort.
Li Yuan drew his peach wood sword and slashed at the reeds!
Hiding, huh? I'll pull up the grass first!
For a minor ghost to unleash its power, it doesn't necessarily need to make contact with the target, but it also needs to be quite close to the target.
At the bizarre exchange meeting, all the strange creatures appeared before people, including the ghosts they encountered, instead of hiding far away and using their abilities.
The strange thing must have activated its power when I left, so it will definitely appear and cut down the reeds and weeds around it to see where I can hide!
As for what to do if the ghosts were hiding underground, Li Yuan already had a solution in mind.
Li Yuan, full of vigor and high spirits, brandished his peach wood sword, just like when he was a child, holding a wooden stick in his hand, leaving no one alive within a hundred miles!
Large swathes of reeds fell down, drifting away with the current.
Li Yuan cut down the reeds and squatted down to pull weeds. It took him a long time, and his back ached, before he could get rid of all the weeds nearby!
At first, he was quite enthusiastic and found it interesting, pulling up patches of grass at a time. But later it became a mechanical weeding process, and he got more and more annoyed. His hands, body, feet, and face were covered in mud. Fortunately, he only needed to remove the nearby grass, which wasn't too much, otherwise he would have really gone crazy.
Li Yuan threw the pulled grass into the river, and watching the grass that had been bothering him float downstream made him feel a little better.
The riverbank now looks like a patch of lush hair that a dog has gnawed off.
Li Yuan circulated his spiritual energy to dispel the fatigue in his body, the muscle soreness disappeared, and his stamina was fully restored.
There are also three spirit stones in the treasure chest, enough to provide spiritual power.
The next step is to find a way to deal with the ghosts hiding in the ground.
Li Yuan took off his shoes, emptied the contents of the stone treasure chest, then carried the chest to the river to fill it with water, and carried it back to splash the water on the ground.
Repeat this several times until the ground is covered in mud.
Li Yuan put everything back into the treasure chest, walked barefoot on the muddy ground, black arcs of electricity crackling beneath his feet.
come!
If you dare to come out of the ground, I'll electrocute you!
Li Yuan carried the treasure chest outside, twisting his body, his face turned back, his eyes unblinking. "I want to see what this thing is!"
Li Yuan stared intently at everything along the riverbank, not missing a single detail!
Then he saw his own black, inflated sedan in the distance!
Li Yuan was initially delighted, but his face immediately darkened.
Hey!
Li Yuan angrily threw the treasure chest on the ground!
The treasure chest hit the ground with a dull thud.
I've been working on this for ages! Still no luck! Damn it!!!
Come out here if you dare! Fight me head-on!
Li Yuan was looking behind him, so when he saw his own carriage, it meant that he had turned back.
It's no use! It's no use! It's no use at all!
He didn't see anything before he turned around. The previous time, he had been staring straight ahead but hadn't noticed anything either, which made him think that the strange thing must be behind him!
but!
nm!
Isn't it at the Lesser Ghostly Level? But only 80% of survivors who upgrade their magic circle will go to more dangerous ghostly areas!
What on earth is that thing?!
Li Yuan grew increasingly agitated, his fists clenched tightly together; he couldn't take it anymore!
Another reason that annoyed him was that the sun was setting.
As the sun set, the orange sunlight shone on Li Yuan, but he felt no warmth.
A little over an hour later, the sun set, and by nightfall he still couldn't get out, so he stayed behind as a drowned ghost!
The more Li Yuan thought about it, the more agitated, angry, and frightened he became! He gradually lost control of himself, and suddenly he rushed forward!
"Thump!"
Li Yuan fell into the river and choked on several mouthfuls of water.
The cool river water calmed his anger considerably. He floated to the surface, looking dejected, like a drowning dog.
Is there really no other way?
Am I really going to die here?! I don't even know what's hurting me?!
Li Yuan was feeling dejected when he suddenly caught a glimpse of red out of the corner of his eye. He quickly looked over, thinking that the strange creature had finally made its move against him! But he discovered that the red was coming from his waist.
Oh no! Cinnabar!
To make it easier to use, Li Yuan's cinnabar was always left open, and now half of it has spilled out.
Li Yuan quickly took the cinnabar off and threw it onto the shore!
Hey!
Li Yuan punched the river, splashing up a large spray of water!
Flow! Flow your ass!
Li Yuan pointed at the river and started cursing!
Li Yuan shuddered when he saw his reflection in the river. A reflection?!
and many more!
Li Yuan's pupils suddenly widened! As if he had discovered something extraordinary!
He thought about it carefully and was horrified!
Every time I turn back, I come to a place where the river doesn't reflect my image!
In other words, I will come back as long as I walk to a place where the river's reflection doesn't reach!
I can't leave the area reflected in the river!
Am I in the reflection?! So leaving the reflection area will bring me back!
Li Yuan was utterly shocked; the hairs on his body stood on end! A wave of fear washed over him—what kind of ability was this!
If I hadn't noticed my reflection by accident, I wouldn't have found anything unusual! I'll never get out of here!
After his initial shock, Li Yuan began to think seriously.
Could it be that reality and illusion are reversed, and I've been going the wrong way all along?
If I am in a reflection, then what is reality?!
Li Yuan looked at the reflection of the bank in the river, took a deep breath, and swam towards the reflection.
After a while, Li Yuan suddenly surfaced and gasped for air.
No, no! I'm suffocating!
It's not that reality and illusion are reversed; there's no bank in the river, so how can anyone get ashore?!
What is that? What's trapping them?
Li Yuan surveyed the surroundings once more: the river, the reeds, the grass, the river fish... River fish!
Li Yuan finally discovered the problem! A cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes revealed undisguised excitement!
The last time he observed the river fish, he noticed a large fish that weighed 20 pounds. That fish looked more vibrant than the other fish, and its scales seemed finer.
He initially thought it was the fish's doing, but the fish swam away in an instant, so Li Yuan dismissed the idea.
But why are you back now?!
Li Yuan sneered and raised the peach wood sword in his hand. The fish seemed to sense this and flicked its tail, trying to escape.
Still trying to run away!
Li Yuan channeled his spiritual power, and black lightning snakes coiled around the peach wood sword, emanating a deadly chill. Li Yuan aimed at the large fish and hurled it with all his might!
"Whoosh!"
A clap of thunder ripped through the air! It was like a black lightning bolt!
The peach wood sword pierced the river like an arrow, easily penetrating the body of the large fish that was trying to escape.
Li Yuan lunged forward and quickly grabbed the fish's body. The fish wasn't quite dead yet and was still struggling and thrashing its tail.
But it's actually just a neural reaction.
The lightning bolt had already turned the fish into a tattered sack.
