Chapter 490
“The Lion King?
You’re saying that Da Huang … is the Lion King?
Are you serious? ”
Er Gou obviously didn’t believe Da Niu. He felt that Da Niu was fooling him again. If he even knew a dog, then he had lived half his life as a pig.
“Forget it if you don’t believe me!” Da Niu looked at Er Gou with disdain and didn’t want to waste his breath.
“Pfft!
Hehe! ”
Dongfang Qingwu was originally shocked by the names of the two uncles. Now that she heard the amusing conversation between the two uncles, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Her laughter was so beautiful that it made her tremble.
“Ah?
I’m sorry, Miss. Hehe. ”
Da Niu and Er Gou knew that Dongfang Qingwu was laughing because of them. The two uncles, who were almost 50 years old, scratched the back of their heads at the same time and laughed embarrassedly.
Swish!
At the spur of the moment, Big Yellow broke out of the water and jumped ashore. It held a small river monster, which was about the same size as it, in its mouth. The small river monster was not completely dead yet, and it was still struggling in Big Yellow’s mouth. Even so, its struggle was futile as it would only speed up its death.
“Wow!
What is this?!
It looks so scary!
Is this still a fish? ”
Uncle Er Gou, who was laughing embarrassedly, glanced at the river monster in the yellow dog’s mouth. His eyes immediately widened. When he saw the long and sharp teeth in the river monster’s mouth, his expression changed drastically and he couldn’t help but shiver.
Slap, slap!
Da Niu stretched out his right hand and patted Er Gou, who was stunned. He joked, “Er Gou, you’ve learned something new, haven’t you?
I told you that you were lucky to fish in the river this morning, but you didn’t believe me. Hehe! ”
“Is this the river monster you were talking about?”
Er Gou was so frightened by the river monster’s ferocious appearance that he took two steps back. He turned to look at Da Niu’s left arm and couldn’t help swallowing his saliva. He said with difficulty, “Da Niu, did this thing bite your arm?
This damn thing is too f * cking scary! ”
“Yes!
It was the river monster!
A few hours ago, when I was escorting Young Noble, Young Lady, and The Lion King across the river, we were attacked by countless river monsters. This one was only a small one. The bigger ones are several times larger than the smaller ones. I reckon they could eat a person in one bite! “Da Niu said with lingering fear.
“Xiu!”
While the two of them were talking, a water arrow shot out of the river monster’s mouth and went straight for the Dark Dragon Hound. Apparently, it wanted to kill someone to vent its anger.
The third-grade desolate beast already had some intelligence. It knew that it would definitely die, so it was filled with resentment and wanted to kill a human to accompany it in death.
Uncle Ergou was only a mortal. If he was hit by a water arrow that contained Desolate Energy, he would immediately die. That was without a doubt.
This water arrow was too sudden!
None of them, including Da Huang, had expected that the dying river monster would be able to unleash a final attack. They had been too careless!
Too careless!
The river monster was less than 30 feet away from Uncle Er Gou. With the speed of the water arrow, Er Gou wouldn’t be able to dodge it with his mortal body.
“Clang!”
At that critical moment, Xiao Chen struck with his sword at lightning speed. When the gigantic wooden sword was pulled out, it left Xiao Chen’s hand and rapidly traversed a distance of 20 feet. Finally, it stabbed into the hard soil and stood three feet in front of Ergou. The half-foot-wide sword was facing Uncle Er Gou.
“Boom!”
After the wooden sword stabbed into the ground, the water arrow flew over and struck the middle of the wooden sword. Following that, it exploded. The energy of the shattered water arrow quickly dissipated and did not harm Uncle Er Gou, who was behind the wooden sword.
“Ah!”
“Pa!”
Uncle Er Gou fell to the ground in fright from the explosion of the water arrow. His face turned pale as cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes. He felt like he was about to collapse. He naturally saw the water arrow and knew that he had just returned from the gates of hell. He was scared out of his wits.
“Ka-cha!”
“Peng Peng!”
Seeing that something big almost happened, Da Huang felt humiliated. He bit the river monster in his mouth and tore it in half. Then, he used his claws to smash the two halves of the river monster into meat paste.
Da Niu stepped forward and helped Ergou up. He asked with concern, “Ergou, are you hurt? Everything happened too suddenly. If it weren’t for Mr. Xiao’s quick reaction, you would be … Hurry up and thank Mr. Xiao for saving your life.”
“Plop!”
Ergou was a straightforward person. Hearing Da Niu’s reminder, he immediately rushed to Xiao Chen and knelt down. He kowtowed and thanked him, “Mr. Xiao, I will never forget your kindness!”
“Well …”
Xiao Chen couldn’t stand people kowtowing to him the most. It was even harder for him to accept it, especially when it was an elder. So, he hurried to help Uncle Er Gou up and said in embarrassment, “Uncle, please get up!
You don’t have to thank me. It was my brother Da Huang and I who scared you. Please forgive us! ”
“Mr. Xiao, don’t say that. I am a straightforward person. Saving a life is saving a life!”
Although he was helped up by Xiao Chen, Ergou was still very grateful to Xiao Chen. Unfortunately, he had nothing to repay Xiao Chen. He pulled on Xiao Chen’s hand and thanked him again, “Mr. Xiao, thank you very much!
If you need me to do anything in the future, I will do it even if I have to die a thousand times! ”
“Err …”
Xiao Chen felt even more embarrassed when he saw Ergou thanking him. He was speechless and looked at Da Niu for help.
Da Niu saw Xiao Chen’s look and understood. He pulled the excited Ergou away and said, “Alright!
Ergou, Mr. Xiao is a good person and a big shot. I don’t ask for anything in return for saving you. We just need to remember it. Haha! ”
“Right!
Da Niu is right!
There is no point in saying thank you. We are all country bumpkins. We just need to remember his kindness. “Ergou stopped thanking him and returned to his carefree personality.
Xiao Chen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Ergou return to normal. He walked to the wooden sword and pulled it out. Then, he put the sword back on his back. He looked at Ergou again and said, “Uncle Ergou, let’s go. We need to reach the pool in the valley as soon as possible to find out the cause. Otherwise, the river monsters will keep appearing and it will be very dangerous!”
“Okay!”
Young Master Xiao. “Having witnessed how terrifying the river monster was, Buttface believed Xiao Chen’s words without a doubt, and immediately led the way.
Xiao Chen and the others followed closely.
The group walked along the stream and crossed several hills. After less than two hours, they finally arrived at the pool formed by the underground water gushing out from the cracks in the valley.
“This pool is huge!”
Dongfang Qingwu glanced at the huge pool in front of her and couldn’t help but sigh. She wasn’t exaggerating. Judging from the size of the pool, it was around 300 meters. The water was very clear, but it was bottomless.
Xiao Chen scanned the pool in front of him and did not find anything abnormal. He circulated the Power of Desolates to his eyes and looked straight into the pool. He was secretly alarmed that he could not see the bottom of the pool. He guessed that the pool was at least a thousand feet deep. The original valley was not small.
Since he could not see the bottom of the pool, Xiao Chen could only send a voice transmission to Da Huang, “Da Huang, can you see the situation at the bottom of the pool?
Is there a river monster in the pool?
Just how big is that crack? “
