Chapter 74 Fish School
"Don't touch the water in the lake, or you'll end up like him..."
She fell from mid-air. The water surface was calm at this time. Seeing that they were hesitant and no one dared to go into the bubble, she couldn't help but urge them, "If you have agreed, go in quickly. We should set off."
Moon Dog glanced at the Palace Master, and when he saw her nod, he was the first to walk to the shore.
He was not familiar with Wan Zhu, and even if they had communicated, it was not much. The reason why he dared to go first was because he trusted the Palace Master.
He took a deep breath, raised his foot, took a step, and stepped into the bubble...
Except for not standing firmly at the beginning, nothing unexpected happened. After he stood firmly, he stepped hard on the ground to make sure nothing happened. Then he looked at Jiang Yuan and Rabbit Man on the shore and said, "It's safe here, come over!"
Jiang Yuan waved to Big Cat and said, "Big Cat, wait for us up here. We'll be back soon."
"Meow!" Big Cat nodded to show that he understood, and found a corner to lie down.
Seeing that Big Cat looked well behaved, Jiang Yuan walked towards the shore with confidence. But just as she was about to get close to the water, she felt her feet were off the ground, the world was spinning, and the scene in front of her changed in an instant.
She turned her head and saw the face of Rabbit Man. He was grabbing her clothes with his claws and holding her up in the air. She struggled with her hands and feet for a while. After struggling to no avail, she couldn't help but ask, "Rabbit Man, what are you doing?"
Without even turning his head, Bunnyman replied, "The lake is deep. Children, don't go near the water."
"Then how can I..."
Jiang Yuan was about to ask her how to get over, but she saw Rabbit Man picking her up, jumping up, and easily getting into the bubble.
Then, he loosened his grip...
Jiang Yuan fell to the ground and sat up. His first reaction was to check the lantern in his hand. Seeing that it was still glowing, he breathed a sigh of relief and muttered softly, "Can't you wait until I stand up before letting go of your claws?"
Rabbit Man leaned against the bubble and said with a slight smile: "The inside of this bubble is soft, so it won't hurt you if you fall, and you don't have to stand up, it's fine to just sit like this."
Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment. He placed his hands on the bottom of the bubble and patted it twice. He found that it was just as Rabbit Hero said. His eyes lit up. He then adjusted his sitting position and did not stand up, insisting on listening to advice.
After making sure they had adapted to the environment in the bubble, Wan Zhu said to the Palace Master, "Sister Palace Master, we will go down first. Please wait for us to come back."
"Okay." The Palace Master replied in a doting tone with a smile on his face, as if coaxing a child.
After receiving the reply, Wanzhu excitedly swung her tail, then turned around and swam into the lake. The bubble also slowly sank down and followed behind her...
The lake was dark, with small bubbles occasionally floating up from the bottom. Wanzhu's eyes glowed with a faint green light at this moment. She hummed a song and seemed to be in a good mood. But the next second, she seemed to suddenly think of something, turned around and swam back to the bubbles, and asked Moon Dog: "Where should I go next?"
Bubble and she are one. Wherever she goes, Bubble will follow. The Palace Master asked Moon Dog to follow, nominally to lead the way, but in fact to point the way. She is the one who really leads the way.
Wan Zhu couldn't help but sigh, it's true that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!
Moon Dog frowned slightly, wondering how to give her directions. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he asked, "There is a glowing shell at the bottom of the lake. Have you ever seen it?"
“Glowing shells?” Wan Zhu scratched his head and said uncertainly, “This lake is not big, but not small either. You should have seen it before!”
"Then think about it again. Where are the glowing water plants at the bottom of the lake? That's where the dolphins like to go the most." Moon Dog lay on the inner wall of the bubble and told Wanzhu everything he could think of.
Wanzhu recalled carefully, her expression became confused, then turned to doubt, and finally she suddenly realized, she slapped the fish fins and said, "Oh, I remember now."
Moon Dog breathed a sigh of relief. The last time he came here was hundreds of years ago. Now he suddenly recalled it and thought for a long time before he dug out some clues from his vague memory.
Fortunately, Wanzhu was not as forgetful as the other fish and remembered the place he mentioned.
But the next second, Wan Zhu told him directly that it was not that she was forgetful, but...
"Isn't that my home?"
The Moon Dog opened his eyes wide with a look of shock. His eyes, which were originally so small that they were just a slit, now looked unusually round and bright.
Back then, the treasures that protected the clan were scattered into the lake. Even the Palace Master could only walk halfway and could not reach the bottom of the lake.
It was not until later, when the Palace Master rescued Wan Zhu, that they successfully went to the bottom of the lake to take a look.
But unfortunately, the clan’s protective treasure was surrounded by divine power at that time, and they could not take it away, so they set up heavy protection.
Wanzhu stayed here because he couldn't adapt to the outside environment.
He never imagined that after hundreds of years, Wan Zhu would actually regard the place where the treasure protecting the clan was as his home...
Now, his role in guiding the way is no longer useful!
Finally, he sighed, his ears drooped, and said, "Since you know the location, just keep swimming!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but think: Fortunately, the Palace Master didn't come with me this time, otherwise he would seem so useless! "Okay!"
Wanzhu smiled proudly, wagged his little tail, and with an expression that said "I'm so awesome", he continued to swim forward with the bubbles.
Unexpectedly, her joy turned into sorrow because she ran too fast and ran face to face with a carp, and she immediately saw stars.
The carp immediately rolled its eyes, scaring the other fish next to it so much that it ran away quickly.
Wan Zhu covered his head and rubbed it for a long time, but it was still inevitably swollen. Seeing this, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Wan Zhu waved his fins calmly, turned around and threw the fish that rolled its eyes into the bubble, and said to Jiang Yuan, “Take it back and feed your cat.”
Jiang Yuan looked at the dying carp beside him, and couldn't help but twitch his lips. Then he moved to the side silently.
But I have to say that Wanzhu has good taste. This fish is fat and big, and Big Cat will definitely like it!
Jiang Yuan sailed in silence all the way, holding a lantern, looking at the scenery in the lake, passing by one fish after another.
The Moon Palace was built on the top of a mountain, but how there could be such a large lake on the top of the mountain was unknown to the monster.
Jiang Yuan originally thought that it was against common sense, but then she changed her mind and realized that this was a world of monsters and she shouldn't think with common sense. What she thought was unreasonable was actually very common in this world.
She couldn't help but put a hand on the inner wall of the bubble, but the fish swimming outside immediately swam away.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan was stunned at first, then quickly withdrew his hand, but the fish seemed to have gone crazy and quickly fled towards the bubbles.
Watching them flee, Jiang Yuan began to doubt her life: Why are these fish running away? She's not that scary!
"Look behind!" Rabbit Man seemed to have suddenly discovered something, and pointed at the large crowd following Bubble and said.
Jiang Yuan looked back and saw a large group of carp swimming towards them...
Wanzhu obviously saw this and quickly swam faster. Jiang Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Sister Wanzhu, do they have a grudge against you?"
"No." Wan Zhu immediately retorted. She didn't eat fish, so where did the hatred and resentment come from?
"If there is no old grudge, then there is new hatred." Rabbit Man said, looking down at the carp at his feet.
The carp, which was half dead just now, has now recovered but is still in a daze. It waves its fins, thinking it is still in the water.
Suddenly, the man and two monsters felt the surroundings begin to shake. When they looked carefully, they saw a carp catching up and hitting the bubbles with its head.
"Looking for death." When Wan Zhu saw that the fish were trying to burst his bubbles, he stopped, raised his fins, and used his magic power.
The demonic power condensed in the water, gradually forming a small tornado. Seeing the fish getting closer and closer, she threw the tornado condensed by the demonic power out.
The tornado was spinning in the lake, sweeping up all the fish, and no one knew whether they were dead or alive. Wan Zhu flapped his fins, turned around and continued to dive to the bottom of the lake...
After an unknown amount of time, they finally reached the bottom of the lake. There was dense aquatic plants underneath, swaying left and right with the direction of the lake water.
Wanzhu glanced behind Bubble and found that no carp was catching up, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
They were all fish, and she didn't want to embarrass them. Moreover, the opponent used the sea of fish tactics. Although she was 100% sure to win, what if she was careless and let the fish burst the bubble...
She can't afford to pay for these three lives!
Although she felt a little disappointed, Wanzhu still comforted herself in her heart: It doesn't matter, she just caught a carp and will feed it to the cat when she gets home, which will also be a comfort to her wounded heart.
But when she turned her head and looked at Bubble for a long time, she didn't find what she wanted to see, so she couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
No, she is such a big fish.
Then, she turned her gaze and saw Moon Dog who was hesitant to speak, Rabbit Man who was calm and indifferent, and Jiang Yuan who was a little guilty and didn't dare to look her in the eye.
"And the fish?"
Jiang Yuan coughed lightly and said, "Release him."
Wanzhu sighed and wanted to say something, but then he changed his mind and realized that the matter was a done deal, so he turned around and asked while swimming, "When did you release the fish?"
She was so perceptive, but she didn't even notice Jiang Yuan letting the fish go. Was she just too incompetent, or was Jiang Yuan pretending?
Thinking of this, Wan Zhu frowned and stared at Jiang Yuan. He then touched his chin and began to reflect. Finally, he shook his head and indulged in self-comfort.
She has been training in this lake for hundreds of years, and there are only a handful of monsters that can beat her. How could she be a loser? Being the strongest underwater is no joke.
Since it’s not her fault, then it must be that Jiang Yuan is too strong!
The more she thought about it, the more she agreed with her own idea: after all, she was the savior...
