The truth about his previous mistake in entering the gray waters made Zhong Chao dumbfounded.
And just as he was sighing, several gray lines silently rushed toward him.
"Chi chi chi..."
Although Zhong Chao, who had been bitten once, was more alert, the visibility in the water was too low, and the plague leeches were almost the same color as gray water. This made Zhong Chao be more vigilant, but he still did not find them.
Zhong Chao didn't realize their existence until these things bit his body.
And this also made him understand one of his flaws.
"No, I have to find a way to improve my perception. My vision is too bad."
Although his body was bitten, Zhong Chao was still thinking wildly. It is conceivable that the pressure caused by the plague leech on him was extremely light.
This is indeed the case. Although the plague leech that bit him was desperately transporting Yin Qi, Zhong Chao's body was filled with Yuanyang Qi, and the power of the sun was contained in his cells, which made the Yin Qi connect to him.
The epidermal defenses cannot be broken through.
"Bite, bite more."
Relaxing, Zhong Chao allowed the plague leeches to bite him, and looked forward to more leeches coming.
There were indeed a lot of leeches here. He stayed in the water for only five minutes, and thirty leeches came over and stung him.
At this time, the burden of these leeches on Zhong Chao was still close to nothing. However, for fear of an accident, he did not show off and swam up with the leeches all over his body.
"Whoa!"
With his feet kicking continuously, he soon descended from a hundred meters of water to the river surface.
After jumping into the cabin, Jiang Liang and Yan Xiang, who had prepared the fire dumplings, immediately came to Zhong Chao and burned the leeches off his body one by one with flames.
"One, two, three...thirty-one, that's sixty-two taels. Special fish make money faster."
Jiang Liang: "Boss, you are great. When others encounter leeches, they will either make money or lose their lives."
"Okay, stop flattering, put these things away, I'll go down again."
In Zhong Chao's eyes, these leeches are no longer water monsters, but white pieces of silver.
Stimulated by these things, he spent the next two hours floating and diving.
His long physical strength allowed him to make more than ten trips back and forth in a very short period of time and collect more than 360 leeches.
When they came up again and saw a pot full of leeches, Zhong Chao and others were excited but also a little worried.
Especially Yan Xiang, he thought of something and quickly said to Zhong Chao: "Boss, there is something wrong with this."
"What's wrong?"
"When I inquired about it, I heard an old fisherman say that they also caught leeches when they knew that plague leeches were making money... Unlike you, boss, they tied the fresh meat with stones, sunk it underwater, and let the leeches suck it.
Then poop every half hour."
"It's just that, according to them, although leeches can chew fresh meat, the probability of catching them is not very high, and there is a high probability that the dragon lice will bite the rope. Because the profit is not high, they gave up. But you, boss
As soon as you go down, there will be leeches biting the hook..."
At this point, Yan Xiang paused.
As for Zhong Chao, he had actually been alert for a long time.
Every time he went down, a leech would bite Zhong Chao and he would be caught.
Logically speaking, if you continue to capture like this, the leeches in this area will easily be exhausted.
However, after two hours of struggling, Zhong Chao discovered something strange.
The more times he went down, the faster the leeches bit the hook. Last time, he even brought up 50 leeches in one go.
"I always feel like I'm like Tang Monk, attracting all the leeches."
"Wait a minute, Tang Monk meat, Yuan Yang Qi... I remember that in legends, female ghosts or monsters like to devour human Qi and blood to replenish themselves. And the richer the life breath, the more those demons and monsters like it."
"My Yuanyang Qi won't be a great tonic for monsters and monsters."
Thinking of this, Zhong Chao felt a little chilly in his heart.
Seeing his solemn look, Yan Xiang immediately suggested: "Boss, how about we fish again and leave?"
"No, no more fishing, let's leave now."
Fearing the unknown danger, Zhong Chao chose to leave here immediately.
There were no surprises in the process of leaving. When he returned to the shore, looking at the calm river surface, Zhong Chao felt a little hesitant in his heart.
"Could it be that I'm overthinking it and there isn't much danger underwater? Or maybe the dangers are all in the extremely deep water. As long as I don't dive, nothing will happen."
There is a chance of this happening, and the chance is very high.
However, even so, Zhong Chao still did not return, but cut off the trace of hesitation.
"You can't take any chances. If you are killed, you will die. If you die, everything will be over."
"Besides, I can make money if I leave here."
On this day, Zhong Chao's biggest achievement was not that he caught more than 300 plague leeches. Although these items were expensive, they were a one-time transaction.
What excites Zhong Chao is that he knows his strongest advantages and can use them to make money.
"There are many special places near Jujiang City. They cannot be as mysterious as the gray waters. As long as I understand the situation and estimate the danger, I can catch fish."
"Also, while making money, I can also exercise myself."
The cultivation of Pure Yang Golden Bell requires pressure. Those special places have all kinds of dangers, but they are also the most suitable places for Zhong Chao to practice.
In fact, you can also practice in gray waters. Zhong Chao can feel that the further down you go, the stronger the cold air in the water is. If you dive 100 meters from the boundary of the water-colored waters, the cold air will have an impact on him.
.
In fact, because the gray water is cold and yin, which is incompatible with the vitality of Yang, the stimulation of the water is particularly strong for Zhong Chao.
"Using high-concentration gray water to stimulate yourself is definitely more effective than deep-frying."
Unfortunately, the gray water was too weird and mysterious. Even if he noticed that it had good effects, he did not dare to act rashly.
…
Returning to the shore, Zhong Chao and his team spent several hours selling all the plague leeches.
The reason it took so long was that they visited several pharmacies to prevent merchants from lowering prices.
After selling all the items and looking at the more than 700 taels of silver in his hand, Zhong Chao felt unusually excited.
"I sent it, I really sent it this time!"
"I finally have money!"
Holding the money in his arms and thinking about the hardships in the past, Zhong Chao felt moved by the joy of suffering.
"In the future, I will never be short of money again!"
The excitement lasted for a long time. When he calmed down slightly, he distributed some scraps to his younger brothers Yan Xiang and Jiang Liang, and hid most of the money.
Then, Zhong Chao took a small amount of silver and ran towards the Li Shang Rouge store, hoping to buy Yingguang Fish Ointment.
Some time ago, due to lack of money, the application of his ointment had been suspended for a long time. Now, he can finally continue.
However, when he arrived at Lishang Rouge Shop, he found that the place was even more deserted. What made him more helpless was that the fish oil ointment here was sold out.
"Out of stock? When can it be replenished?"
Zhong Chao's question brought a wry smile to Oriole's face: "I don't know yet..."
Halfway through, she suddenly thought of something and said to Zhong Chao: "Master Zhong, you are the disciple of the master of the Vajra Martial Arts Hall. I wonder if you can ask Master Heiyu to sell me some special fish. I am willing to pay the price of the store."
