The carp jumping over the dragon gate is extremely dangerous even though it is not the gateway to transform into a dragon.
Especially when he was seriously injured when he was promoted this time, Fang Yuan had no choice but to use the Dragon Stinging Technique to save his life.
Since this technique is called "Stinging Dragon", it is naturally a secret technique for hiding vitality, nourishing Qi and protecting life. It drained all the energy from his body and turned him into the appearance of a one-foot-long black carp.
Thanks to this, most of the injuries were healed instantly.
"It's just that the damage was excessive this time. It seems that the Dragon Stinging Technique will have to be maintained for a while, but when it is over, we can successfully break through the fourth transformation..."
He looked at the attribute bar that was gray and seemed to be blocked, and murmured to himself.
If it were an ordinary demon clan, if he did this when he was promoted, he would probably die immediately. Even if he was lucky enough to survive, he would definitely want to be cut off, or he would go crazy and become something strange.
Only because he has extensive knowledge and attributes, can he grasp the glimmer of hope and make a smooth transition.
"It's said to be a smooth transition... Such a long period of weakness is also very fatal!"
Fang Yuan saw an eel approaching and immediately swung his tail and quickly avoided it.
In the past, this was just a piece of food in his mouth, but now he really couldn't beat it.
It would be too tragic if the black fish that flirted with Suicune, killed Suiyasha, and was about to jump over the dragon gate ended up falling into the hands of an ordinary eel.
The water flow in Anjiang was very fast, which was very different from the calm Qihu. Fang Yuan adapted quickly.
Moreover, maintaining the Dragon Stinging Technique also has benefits.
After all, what Suicune is looking for is a three-foot-long black carp spirit monster with infinite strength and the magical power to control water. It is completely different from what he is now. Moreover, due to the characteristics of the stinging dragon, even the great monster cannot see it in person. Absolutely There is no risk of identity leakage.
"Well, let's take this opportunity to settle in Anjiang first, and then follow the water system to Jinting Lake!"
Now that he was ready to run away, Fang Yuan also made some rough preparations.
At least he knew that Jinting Lake was connected to the Anjiang water system and was even larger than Qi Lake in terms of vastness. It was almost a small inland sea.
Of course, the distance is also very far, completely opposite.
"Let's recover from our injuries for a few days before we go on our way!"
Fang Yuan scanned the surroundings, flicked his tail and hid in a clump of water plants.
…
Half a month later.
"The effects of the Dragon Sting Technique should be gone soon, so we should take advantage of the current situation to get going!"
The vague dangers around him, as well as the spirits patrolling the water from time to time, made Fang Yuan Detective hear the news that the three-headed demons were looking for a three-foot black carp, and also asked the Anjiang demon for help. He immediately couldn't sit still and left the hiding place. place, rush to a farther location.
Fortunately, with his current body shape and his perfectly concealed aura, even if he was swept by divine thoughts several times in the process, it did not arouse the slightest suspicion.
"I swam and swam, swam and swam... Damn, the speed of ordinary carp is too slow... "
Fang Yuan worked so hard that he finally swam to the main road of Anjiang, a slow water area, and he couldn't help but complain.
"Huh? Is there anyone?"
The river is vast, and there is a lot of bait on both sides of the river. It is obviously fishing.
"It's really rare... I finally saw a human being in this world. I almost thought this was a pure world of monsters, cultivators, and aliens..."
Fang Yuan suddenly became playful and walked through the many fishhooks, occasionally tugging at the fishing line, and then swallowed the bait, leaving the fishhook behind for the angler to fetch water from a bamboo basket.
"Well, once you've eaten and drank enough, let's continue on our way!"
He burped and was about to leave when suddenly his expression tightened.
A sturgeon about ten feet long seemed to be looking for food. It took a fancy to him at once and pounced on him with ill intentions.
"If it were before, I would have understood you with just one water arrow!"
Fang Yuan screamed in pain and immediately started to run away.
However, in his current weak stage, he was just an ordinary black carp, unable to move very fast. He was almost caught several times and could only rely on obstacles such as aquatic plants and rocks to save his life.
After several dangerous escapes with fish kisses, Fang Yuan looked at an undercurrent in front of him and felt overjoyed: "Fuck you!"
With a strong spirit, he spotted the gap in the undercurrent and passed directly through it. Immediately, the sturgeon behind him rushed towards him and was immediately hit by the undercurrent and swept away to an unknown place.
"You're such a fool and you still want to eat me? Go back and eat yourself!"
Just as I was rejoicing, a fishing net suddenly appeared as a hood.
"Um?"
Before Fang Yuan could react, the other party suddenly pulled him out of the water.
Wow!
A large amount of river water leaked out of the mesh, leaving only him and some aquatic plants, shrimps and crabs, unluckily tumbling in the fishing net.
"This is... a fishing boat?"
Fang Yuan was shocked: "Extreme joy brings sorrow!"
"Alas...nothing gained!"
The fisherman with thick hands pulled the fishing net to the deck, threw away the water plants, and picked up Fang Yuan: "It's just this carp, it can be sold, stewed in soup..."
Fang Yuan was like an ordinary fish, flipping twice, spitting bubbles, and was at his wits' end.
After all, even his body that was three feet or even one foot long before was still an aquatic animal. When he left the lake and came to the shore, it was like a dragon swimming in shallow water and a tiger landing in the sun.
Not to mention that the current state is just meat on the chopping board, left to be slaughtered.
Wow!
He was thrown into a fish basket and watched as the fishermen cast a few more nets and caught some miscellaneous fish. Finally, they selected a few big ones and transferred them to a basin with him, adding water.
"Hmm... It seems that he is planning to sell this pot of mine. He won't kill it to eat it for the time being. I'm so lucky!"
Fang Yuan thought for a while, then rolled his eyes: "But both sides will be eaten, braised and steamed, it's really depressing..."
He glanced at the curious people around him and glared: "What are you looking at? Get out!"
"To be eaten... to be eaten..."
A herring is somewhat intelligent, but that's all. It looks a little silly and just keeps spinning.
"Huh?"
But it was it that caught Fang Yuan's attention, and then he took a closer look at the unlucky guy who was also captured.
This pot was not big, so it only contained a few fishes, one for Fang Yuan, one for herring, and two other pieces of piebald fish that were confused and had not yet developed their intelligence.
But the last one is a little interesting again.
"Hey...where are you from?"
Fang Yuan squeezed past and said hello to his fellow tribesmen.
The one in front of him was also a carp, but it was shorter than him, about half a foot, not much meat, but it looked quite good, with golden-red scales and two slender whiskers, which was similar to the appearance of his previous peak three transformations. It's very similar. Apart from being gifted, the only explanation is cultivation.
“…”
The golden and red carp looked at Fang Yuan and blew bubbles innocently.
"Damn! Just pretend to be stupid with me... Hey, we're about to be captured and stewed in soup. What tricks do you have, use it quickly!"
Fang Yuan bumped into the carp.
Unexpectedly, the golden and red carp stared at him and remained motionless.
"Could he be a fool?"
Seeing that this road was dead, Fang Yuan had no choice.
Not long after, the ship docked, and the fish basin shook, and it was obviously moved to the dock on the shore.
"I'm selling fish!"
"I'm selling fish!"
…
This pier is not big, but it is very lively with people coming and going.
Most of the people sitting on both sides were fishermen, picking up the best fish to sell.
"Ladies and gentlemen, come and see my fish. The fish we just caught are the freshest!"
Although the language is a little different, Fang Yuan can probably understand what it means to catch a fisherman like him.
Immediately, I saw him grabbing the big herring again and letting it jump around. I couldn't help but make up my mind that if it was my turn, I would pretend to be dead and not really buy it, so I put it on the chopping block.
"Madam, it's really hard for you to travel all the way. I saw the fish here are good, so I bought it for you. How about replenishing your health?"
At this time, an official couple came to the stall.
Fang Yuan looked carefully and saw that the man was in his twenties, wearing a green shirt and a piece of jade on his waist. He was of good quality and had dark eyes, with a hint of official power. He was followed by a bookboy. The woman next to him had an appearance. She is gentle, has difficulty moving, and has a slightly bulging belly. She seems to be pregnant.
"Ms. sir! Mr. sir, my fish is the best!"
When the fisherman saw this man, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Look... how fresh it is, especially this golden and red carp, which is very rare. The stew is very nourishing, just perfect for Madam!"
"Well, let's take a look!"
The official in Tsing Yi stopped and looked at it with the eyes of a customer.
Fang Yuan watched with cold eyes, but he noticed that the fish seller had a fleeting look of greed on his face as he stared at the jade pendant on the young official's waist and the woman behind him, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
"It's indeed good. I saw it when I was studying. This golden and red carp has spiritual energy, which is the most replenishing!"
The official in green looked at his wife: "Wan'er... what do you think?"
"I?"
Wan'er lowered her head slightly, as if she didn't want her husband to spend money, and couldn't make up her mind. Suddenly she looked at the golden and red carp, and was surprised again: "It... it seems to be crying!"
"Um?"
The official in Tsing Yi took a look and said: "It really is spiritual!"
"Since it has spirituality, how can we kill it? Husband, why don't we buy it and release it?"
Wan'er looked at her husband with an affectionate look in her eyes: "Just think of it as accumulating merit for me and my child!"
"This... okay!"
Normally, he would definitely not agree, but now, this official is very generous: "We bought this carp!"
"I really can't tell, he's an actor!"
Fang Yuan looked at the tearful and bubbling golden-red carp, and was speechless: "You are awesome, but if you want me to be so shameless, you really can't pretend to be that good!"
"Chenghui, a dime of silver is a golden carp after all!"
The fisherman smiled broadly and began to slaughter them. He saw the young couple's mentality and refused to let go.
"This fish is expensive, but since it's for the sake of my wife and children, I'll buy it!"
This official in green clothes was a little ignorant of the world, so he directly took out the silver, and it was dazzling with white flowers.
After paying the bill, he pointed at Fang Yuan and the herring next to him: "Release the golden carp, spare these two for me, one will be stewed, and the other will be steamed!"
"Depend on!!!"
