Ye Qiu immediately became vigilant in his heart and looked around with his eyes, trying to find the source of the unease.
However, nothing was found.
“Old thing, be careful. I have a hunch that this place is not simple.” Ye Qiu reminded.
The Long-Browed True Man didn’t take it seriously： “Little brat, you’re overthinking. There’s no danger here.”
Ye Qiu asked, “How can you be so sure？”
“The Dongxuan True Man has been here and didn’t say there was any danger here.” As the Long-Browed True Man spoke, he walked to the front of the Tianchi Lake and squatted down. While feeling the water temperature with his hand, he turned his head and said to Ye Qiu, “Little brat, it has to be said that if this place were developed for tourism, it would indeed be very good. It’s just a pity that this is a restricted area…”
Suddenly, Ye Qiu saw a white shadow rush out from the Tianchi Lake and fly towards the Longmei True Man.
“Be careful！”
While loudly loudly reminding, Ye Qiu inspires a sword qi from his fingertip.
“Sou！”
That white shadow was very fast. It avoided the sword qi and instantly turned back into the Tianchi Lake.
The Longmei True Man quickly took a few steps back and asked Ye Qiu, “What is that？”
Ye Qiu shook his head and said, “I didn’t see clearly.”
“No way, even your eyesight couldn’t see clearly？ How is that possible！” The Longmei True Man felt incredible.
Little did he know that Ye Qiu was even more shocked in his heart.
He had cultivated three genuine qis. With his current strength, even a strong person who had cultivated nine genuine qis within a hundred meters couldn’t escape his eyes.
However, he simply didn’t see clearly what that white shadow was just now.
Ye Qiu said, “Although I didn’t see clearly what that thing was, its speed was so fast that it could escape my eyes. It can’t be underestimated.”
The Longmei True Man asked, “Could it be a water monster？”
Ye Qiu shook his head and said, “It definitely isn’t a water monster. That white shadow just now was only one foot long. How could it be a water monster？”
“However, I just felt a murderous aura.”
“If I hadn’t used the sword qi in time, maybe you would have suffered a great loss.”
The Longmei True Man frowned and said, “This is troublesome now.”
“The water is dangerous. How do we go down？”
“What if that damned thing attacks us after we go down？”
Ye Qiu said, “Didn’t you say before that you could turn misfortunes into blessings? How about this, you go into the water and give it a try?”
”Do you want me to go to my death？” The Long-browed True Man snorted coldly, “I won’t fall for your trick.”
Ye Qiu smiled and said, “Then how about you do another divination？”
The Long browed True Man was a little moved, and then his head shook like a rattle and he said righteously “Divination is originally revealing the secrets of heaven. If I do it too much, I will be punished by heaven.”
Heaven’s punishment my ass！
You’re clearly making an excuse for your inaccurate divination！
Ye Qiu looked at the Long-browed True Man with contempt, and then quietly opened his Heavenly Eye and looked into the water.
Instantly, his sight penetrated thirty meters underwater.
The water quality was clear.
Apart from some weeds, there was nothing.
While observing, Ye Qiu said, “Old thing, even if there is no danger in the water, it’s difficult for us to reach the bottom of the Heavenly Pool.”
The Long-browed True Man asked, “Why？”
Ye Qiu said, “This Heavenly Pool is bottomless. We didn’t bring any diving equipment. How can we get in？”
The Long-browed True Man said, “You don’t have to worry about this. I have my own way.”
”What way？ Could it be…”
Ye Qiu’s voice stopped abruptly, his whole body tensed up, and his right hand was placed behind his back, with inner strength surging in his palm.
Seeing Ye Qiu’s actions, the Long-browed True Man asked, “Did you find something？”
”Don’t make a sound.”
Ye Qiu said in a low voice. His eyes were fixed on the Tianchi Lake. He saw a white shadow rushing out from under the water at an incredible speed.
Like an aurora.
Even though Ye Qiu had opened the Heavenly Eye, he still couldn’t clearly see what the white shadow was. He just captured the trajectory of the white shadow’s advance.
Twenty meters.
Ten meters.
Five meters.
“Whoosh！”
The white shadow rushed out of the water like lightning and directly pounced on Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu had been on guard for a long time. His palm shot out swiftly and he grabbed the white shadow in his hand.
There was a sharp pain in his palm.
Blood flowed out.
Ye Qiu held on tightly. Only at this time did he see clearly that the white shadow caught in his palm was actually a white fish.
This white fish was about thirty centimeters long, with a pointed mouth and a cone-shaped head. Its body was flat, like a sword.
It had sword-like fins on its back and abdomen. There were three hard thorns on the fins, which were extremely sharp. It was these hard thorns that cut through Ye Qiu’s palm.
Ye Qiu was shocked in his heart.
He had cultivated the Nine-Turn Divine Dragon Art until now, and his physical body was already comparable to iron and copper bones. Ordinary knives and guns couldn’t harm him in the slightest. But unexpectedly, today he was actually injured by a fish.
“Old thing, take a look. What kind of fish is this？” Ye Qiu shouted.
The Long-Browed True Man leaned over, took a closer look, and then shock appeared on his face： “Swordfish！”
Swordfish？
Ye Qiu had a look of confusion on his face.
The Long-Browed True Man explained： “The ‘Shan Hai Jing’ once recorded： ‘There is a fish in the mountains and rivers, its shape is like a sword, and it is called a swordfish.’ Moreover, I also saw in an ancient book that the thorns on the fins of the swordfish are comparable to divine swords and are extremely sharp.’
Zi zi——
The swordfish was caught in Ye Qiu’s palm, struggling desperately, and baring its teeth at Ye Qiu. revealing two thin and long teeth.
“Damn it, a beast! How dare you be fierce to me, courting death!”
After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he was about to crush the swordfish with one hand.
“Little bastard, stop.”
The Long-Browed True Man quickly stopped Ye Qiu and said with a hey smile： “The swordfish is a good thing.”
“Its teeth and the hard thorns on its fins are all top-quality materials for making hidden weapons.”
“Moreover, I once saw in a cookbook about delicious food. that meat of the wordfish is tender and tastes better than the puffer fish.
“The most crucial thing is that the swordfish is very rare, has a lifespan of up to a thousand years, and grows slowly. Such a large swordfish is at least several hundred years old. Eating it can improve one’s skill.”
Ye Qiu was a little surprised： “Really？”
“Don’t you believe it？ Just try it and you’ll know.” After the Long-Browed True Man finished speaking, he pinched the mouth of the swordfish with one hand.
A moment later.
The swordfish suffocated to death.
The Long-browed True Man quickly gutted the swordfish, picked up some dry firewood, lit a fire on the spot, and then started roasting the swordfish.
Soon, the aroma of the fish entered the nostrils.
Ye Qiu took a sniff, his spirit was invigorated, as if he had eaten a century-old ginseng, and he felt a lightness all over his body, which was wonderful.
“It seems that what the old thing said is true. The wordfish is really a good thing,” Ye Qiu thought to himself in his heart.
“Little brat, go and help me pick up some dry firewood.” The Long-browed True Man said.
Ye Qiu didn’t think much about it. He turned around to look for dry firewood. When he came back, he found that there were only fish bones left.
The Long-browed True Man was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with his eyes closed, and was practicing his skills.
“Damned thing, actually sent me away to eat alone. Shameless！”
Ye Qiu cursed. At this moment, a huge aura was released from the Long-browed True Man.
Immediately after, four true qi appeared behind him！
