() The 800-mile-wide Tongtian River is like a major artery of the human body, running through the entire Haoyang Continent. The drainage basin along the way is like the capillaries of the human body, and extends to countless tributaries. The Jinghe River is the largest among them.
One branch of the river is more than thirty miles wide, and the edge can't be seen at a glance. The shallowest part of the water is a hundred feet deep, enough to pass the largest Yunlou battleship.
And because the Jinghe River is located directly north of Haoyang Palace, only more than 100,000 miles away from Wanyin Huangquan Palace, the upper reaches are connected to the Tongtian River, and the lower reaches are connected to the Xuanming Territory and the Xingtian Territory. Over time, it has become an important transportation route.
, there are no less than 10,000 boats plying the river every day.
For the sake of safety, every ten years, the disciples of Haoyang Palace will unite the armies of Xuanming Territory and Xingtian Territory to carry out large-scale eradication of monsters in the Jinghe River and along both sides of the river, except for some that do not pose a threat to the fleet.
Except for the low-level monsters, all the other fifth-level monsters and above were either expelled or killed. In short, no one was left alive.
In the past nearly a thousand years, there have been only three incidents of monsters attacking people on the Jinghe River. The monsters from Tongtian River accidentally broke into the Jinghe River Basin and took the opportunity to cause trouble. But this time, the situation was completely different.
"For three consecutive days, three merchant ships were attacked, and nearly a thousand people fell into the water. Only a few people survived. These Jinghe water monsters are too rampant!"
Thousands of meters in the air, Jiang Wen sat cross-legged on the back of a Jinyun crane, overlooking the dragon-like Jing River below him, constantly recalling the information he saw in Wanyin Huangquan Palace in his mind.
, think about it seriously.
This section of the river is located 30,000 miles downstream of the Jinghe River. It is a relatively remote section of the river. The difference between the upstream and downstream reaches a hundred feet, so the river water appears to be very fast. Even the most experienced sailors must drive carefully to avoid the central yang of the river.
The reefs and whirlpools can be passed smoothly.
Although the three merchant ships that were attacked were not at the same time, the locations of the accidents were only tens of miles apart. It was obvious that the perpetrators were all the same group of monsters. In fact, from the mouths of the survivors, Jiang Wen
It has also been learned that the monsters that attacked the three merchant ships were all special monsters in the Jinghe River Basin, the silver whiskers.
This kind of fish is named after the dozens of long silver-white whiskers growing on its head. When it reaches adulthood, it is about one meter long. It has the strength of a first-level monster. It likes to live in groups, and there are often tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of silver fish.
The barbeled fish all go out together, which is a spectacular sight.
At the same time, the silver whiskers are not only delicious in meat, but if taken for a long time, they can also increase the chances of low-level warriors being promoted to the Xiantian realm. Therefore, for a long time, the silver whiskers in the Jinghe River have been hunted to extinction and are rarely seen anymore.
See a scene where more than a thousand silverwhiskers are cruising at the same time.
However, the number of silverfish that attacked the merchant ship this time was not only large. According to survivors, there were at least more than 10,000 of them. Moreover, the strength of each silverfish was above the level of third-order monsters. Some of them
The king's strength has reached the level of a fifth-level monster, and his intelligence is no less than that of humans. He is very cunning and deceitful. He specifically looks for ordinary merchant ships without expert guards to attack, and immediately escapes after a successful attack.
Immediately after the incident happened, navy warships from the Xingtian territory came to clean it up. However, these silver-whiskered fish seemed to have learned the news early and disappeared without a trace. They were not seen along the 20,000-mile stretch of the river.
They found their presence. In desperation, they had no choice but to ask for help from Haoyang Palace.
However, after Jiang Wen arrived, he searched along the river several times, but could not find any trace of the group of silver-bearded fish. In desperation, he had no choice but to use a wait-and-see method, asking the navy in Xingtian territory to pretend to be ordinary merchant ships and lure them away.
The group of silver whiskers appeared again.
The camouflaged small merchant ship trudged forward in the middle of the Jing River. Because it was going upstream, the oars continued to slap the water surface hard, making a swishing sound. Even though he was thousands of meters above the ground, Jiang Wen could hear it.
Clearly.
"Well, why did the voice become deeper?" After a moment, Jiang Wen's ears suddenly twitched and he quickly looked toward the stern of the ship.
Under the stimulation of the spirit stones and formations, the propeller blades at the stern of the ship rotated powerfully, providing a steady stream of forward momentum for the entire ship. However, Jiang Wen suddenly discovered that the sound of the paddle slapping the water surface was suddenly much louder.
There was a dull noise. Although this noise was not obvious, it was easy to distinguish for a swordsman who was good at listening to the wind to identify positions.
"What a smart beast, hiding under the propeller to spy on what's going on on the merchant ship!"
When Jiang Wen penetrated the water with his spiritual power, he immediately found a silver whisker fish about three meters long, following closely under the merchant ship, using the tentacles around its mouth to probe the hull. Because the propeller of the merchant ship was driven by the formation, so
The fluctuations of spiritual energy were extremely obvious, which just covered up the demonic energy on this silver whiskered fish.
Jiang Wen knew that the fish had taken the bait, so he jumped off Jin Yunhe's back without moving and quietly came to the deck.
Sure enough, after a while, the originally extremely fast river water began to roll violently as if it was boiling. Silverbeard fish jumped high from the water, setting off huge waves and slamming towards the merchant ships.
Come down.
"These damn beasts finally showed up!"
The sailors in the cabin were all disguised as elite sailors from the Xingtian territory. They were not afraid of danger and immediately activated the protective formation on the merchant ship. After the silver whiskers bumped into them, they were either restrained by the formation and strangled, or were shot.
After flying out, a few fourth-level silver whiskers managed to break into the cabin by chance, but were immediately hacked to death by the soldiers' knives.
"It's so weird. Where did these silver whiskers come from?"
Standing on the side of the ship, looking at the silver whiskers jumping out of the water one after another, Jiang Wen's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. The timing of these silver whiskers appearing was really weird, as if they had been staying in the water of the merchant ship.
After getting the signal, he immediately rushed out.
However, the high-level magic weapon in Jiang Wen's hand, which is specialized in detecting fluctuations of monster energy, clearly showed that before they appeared, there was no trace of monsters underwater on the merchant ship. Even with the merchant ship as the center, there were several surrounding monsters.
Within ten miles of water, there is not a monster with strength exceeding level three.
It was as if these silver whiskers appeared out of thin air and suddenly appeared under the cabin.
"No matter how many things there are, let's just catch a King Silverwhisker and interrogate him!"
Since Jiang Wen couldn't figure it out, he simply put aside the head-scratching question, jumped out of the side of the ship, and fell into a school of silver whiskers.
Ordinary silver whiskers, even when they grow to adulthood, can only reach the cultivation level of a first-order monster at most. Only the silver whiskers king can reach the level of a third-order monster. But the silver whiskers that appeared in front of Jiang Wen now,
Almost all of them have the strength of third-level monsters. I really don’t know how such earth-shaking changes happened.
Seeing Jiang Wen appear, a silver whisker fish immediately swung its tail and swooped up. Dozens of silver whiskers at the corners of its mouth stood up immediately, turning into sharp thorns like steel needles, and stabbed Jiang Wen fiercely.
Wen's chest.
Whoosh!
A flash of sword light flashed, and the silver-whiskered fish was immediately dismembered by the sword energy before it even got close to Jiang Wen.
The strong smell of blood stimulated the ferocious nature of these monsters. Each one turned their spearheads and swam quickly towards Jiang Wen. At this time, Jiang Wen's swordsmanship had already reached the realm of transformation, even if he didn't use it at all.
With sword intent, he can also kill Dan Bao realm monks of the same level with one sword, not to mention these monsters whose strength is only third level.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The brilliant sword light, with Jiang Wen's body as the center, spread out in all directions. All the silver-bearded fish that rushed forward would be killed by the sword immediately as long as they encountered this sword light. It only took less than a minute.
In a matter of seconds, no less than a hundred silverfish died in his hands, and the fishy-smelling blood immediately dyed the entire river red.
boom!
At this moment, a splash of water suddenly exploded on the water in front of Jiang Wen.
A silver-whiskered fish king with a body length of more than ten meters emerged from the water. Its long silver whiskers turned into dozens of hard and sharp spears. It broke through the sword curtain built by Jiang Wen and came to Jiang Wen.
In front of Wen, a big mouth full of sharp teeth suddenly opened, trying to swallow him whole.
"The evildoer shall die!"
With a sharp shout, the surging Gangfeng Sword Intention spurted out from Jiang Wen's body, turning into a straight pillar of wind, and went directly into the mouth of the Silver Bearded Fish King. This is like swallowing a piece of fish in a person's mouth.
Using an electric drill and the sharp sword intent of the Gangfeng, he immediately dismembered the Silver Bearded Fish King into millions of pieces.
After doing all this, Jiang Wen grabbed a piece of fish with his hands with great interest, put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly. As expected, as the rumors said, the whitebeard fish tasted extremely delicious.
Perhaps it was the death of the Silverbeard King that left the remaining Silverbeards without a leader, or perhaps Jiang Wensheng's act of swallowing the King Silverfish's meat slices greatly shocked the remaining Silverbeards. When Jiang Wen showed his power,
After the sword intent of the wind strangled the three hundred silver whiskers around him in one fell swoop, the remaining silver whiskers finally collapsed and turned around one after another and swam towards the bottom of the water.
Jiang Wen originally wanted to capture a King Silverwhisker and interrogate their lair, but he succeeded and actually killed the King Silverwhisker. He was regretting it. At this moment, he saw the fish escaping.
, his eyes suddenly lit up, he gathered his breath, jumped into the water, and followed him quietly.
"Master Jiang has followed the school of fish, what should we do?"
Seeing Jiang Wen jump into the water, the navy soldiers on the merchant ship were immediately dumbfounded. They did not have Jiang Wen's superb cultivation and could not stay in the water for a long time. They could only watch Jiang Wen leave. But they
The order I received before departure was to protect Jiang Wen's safety, but I was immediately in trouble.
"What else can we do? Report it to the general truthfully!"
A prestigious soldier immediately said: "With Mr. Jiang's strength, even the Silver Bearded Fish King is not his enemy. How can the remaining shrimp soldiers and crab generals be able to hurt him? Don't forget, Jiang
The young master is an inner disciple of Haoyang Palace. Even if he is in danger, he will definitely have a way to save his life. You are all fooling around!"
