Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 134: Cold River Sawtooth Sturgeon
Unfortunately, the sound of the rushing river is too loud.
Tang Zheng was standing at the bottom of the river again, and he was completely unaware of Tang Xiaotang's warning.
However, he did not notice Tang Xiaotang's warning, but it was not a big problem, because he had heard the strange sound in the water, and when he looked up, he saw the monster coming!
Tang Xiaotang was anxious.
The center of the river was too far from the shore, beyond the attack range of Tang Xiaotang's martial arts. In desperation, Xiaotang had to randomly find a huge rock, lift it high, circulate all his star power, shout, and throw the huge rock into the center of the river.
Although the power of the thrown boulder was far inferior to Xiaotang's martial arts, the momentum it created was quite great under the influence of star power.
The shadow that was quietly approaching Tang Zheng and preparing to attack was suddenly shaken by the boulder...
Crash...
A giant tail slapped out from the depths of the river, smashing the boulder that Xiaotang had thrown over to pieces, splashing up a huge wave. Even Xiaotang, who was standing on the shore, was splashed with water all over his face.
Tang Zheng's vision was impaired underwater, but after just a few hours of practice, his ability to control the star power in the water became more precise!
He walked lightly, taking advantage of the waves created by the monster's bombardment, leaving only two shallow pits at the bottom of the river, and swam back a long distance, barely avoiding the monster's huge teeth.
The monster's attack failed, and the power of the demon star surged throughout its body. Soon, two huge demon fires ignited behind it.
The demonic fire lit up, making Tang Zheng and Tang Xiaotang's vision much clearer!
The monster was dark blue all over, nearly ten meters long, with huge claws and sharp teeth. It had a pair of frightening serrated dorsal wings on its back, and its body was glowing with a sticky luster.
"Hanjiang Sawtooth Sturgeon?!" Tang Xiaotang's eyes widened.
Although it was just a juvenile Hanjiang Sawtooth Sturgeon, it shouldn't have appeared in a small river like Jinshan River!
In the end, Tang Zheng uttered, "Can I eat it?"
"..." Tang Xiaotang's eyelids twitched, "No... no poison."
"It looks like it has a very nutritious face. Let's stew it tomorrow." Tang Zheng said, and the dagger in his right hand rushed out...
Starting move!
The Hanjiang Sawtooth Sturgeon seemed to understand Tang Zheng's words and became even more furious. It trembled all over and suddenly jumped out of the water, like a battering ram swinging high in the air, and pounced towards Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng, who had just floated to the surface from the bottom of the river, was pushed back several meters by the water current brought by the Hanjiang Sawtooth Sturgeon, but the star power in his body did not stop at all. He went straight to his body without any support. But even when his center of gravity was out of control, he still used the starting move of the dagger technique fearlessly.
If it was a few hours ago, Tang Zheng would definitely not have been able to do it!
There are no body postures, no hand movements...
However, even in this difficult situation, the star power in his body made a beautiful move through the turbulent water...
His opening move hit the jaw of the Hanjiang Sawtooth Sturgeon that was still in the air with incredible precision, making a small hole in its jaws that were wrapped in a thick exoskeleton.
Although the hole was as small as a pinhole for the huge Cold River Sawtooth Sturgeon, Tang Zheng's starting move now had star power that was more concentrated like a needle, penetrating the bone and going straight into the mouth of the Cold River Sawtooth Sturgeon, drilling a deep hole in its mouth, causing it to suffer great pain.
This attack completely angered the Hanjiang Sawtooth Sturgeon!
Behind its head, a demonic fire suddenly burned!
The originally dim yellow demonic fire suddenly turned into a creepy pale color.
Then, it opened its huge mouth full of sharp teeth, inhaled and exhaled, and a large amount of cold breath like frost and fog spewed out.
Tang was in the water, blocked by the rapids, and was about to be hit by this large amount of cold air...
At the critical moment, Tang Zheng sheathed his sword and dagger and formed his hands into palms!
He circulated the star power throughout his body and slammed his palms towards the river water!
The river water, which was already extremely turbid, once again stirred up a huge wave...
Tang Zheng just used the recoil force to jump high up from the river like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, and kicked up with his legs, just avoiding the cold breath that was angrily spewed out by the Hanjiang Sawtooth Sturgeon!
"This is not a martial art... This is pure control of star power..." Tang Xiaotang wiped the water off her face and stepped into the river with both feet.
Tang Zheng, who was still in the air, took advantage of the moment when the Hanjiang Sawtooth Sturgeon just exhaled cold breath and fell into the water to catch his breath, and drew his sword again!
Two sharp cold lights flashed in the air...
Tang Zheng actually made two consecutive attacks in such a short period of time!
What he focused on practicing today was the opening move.
As far as he is concerned, his skill proficiency in the initial stage has reached 120%.
As soon as the Hanjiang Sawtooth Sturgeon fell into the water, the two sharp star powers in its opening move had already arrived first and shot directly into the two giant copper bell-like eyes of the monster.
"Puff, puff--" The cold river sawtooth sturgeon's eyes were suddenly injured, and it once again madly spewed out large amounts of cold air, almost instantly freezing the originally turbulent river in front of it!
Tang Zheng, who had jumped high, was about to fall into the range of the cold breath again. This time, he was in an open space and no longer had the help of the water flow like before when he was in the river.
Looking at the power of that cold breath, it was almost as powerful as a full-strength attack from a two-star peak warrior. If Tang Zheng fell into the middle of it, his star veins would probably be frozen instantly and he would be seriously injured.
"Master!" Xiao Tang was so angry when she saw Tang Zheng in such a dangerous situation. In a split second, an idea came to her mind and she pulled out a straight black sword and threw it towards Tang Zheng with all her might.
Tang Zheng's ears twitched when he heard the sound of the flying long sword breaking through the air. He glanced at it and felt relieved. He transferred the star power to his legs, and when the long sword reached his body, he raised his foot and stepped on the long sword full of star power. His body flew sideways in the opposite direction, completely escaping from the range of the cold breath madly spewed out by the Hanjiang Sawtooth Sturgeon, and landed not far away on the opposite river bank.
The Hanjiang Sawtooth Sturgeon's eyes were injured, its vision was greatly reduced, and it was injured continuously. It felt that this prey was too dangerous, and it vented its anger frantically in the heart of the river for a while. When it could no longer sense Tang Zheng's breath, it dived back to the bottom of the river with hatred and slowly disappeared.
The remaining large pieces of floating ice on the river surface, and the large pieces of river that were almost half frozen into ice water, and the flow rate of the river was greatly reduced...
"Uh..." Tang Zheng stretched out his hand towards the river with a look of regret.
"It's okay, it's okay. As long as the Master is okay, let it swallow the knife..." Tang Xiaotang comforted Tang Zhengdao .
"Uh. No..." Tang Zheng continued with a look of regret, "Our fish soup..."
"I..." Tang Xiaotang was already in shock, and after hearing what Tang Zheng said, she immediately snorted, "Give me a knife as compensation!"
"No problem, no problem." Tang Zheng quickly agreed, "But...fish soup..."
Tang Xiaotang rolled her eyes and turned away.
She no longer expected their teacher to be able to find the key points when encountering problems!
…
Tang Zheng came around from the other side of the river, all wet. He looked at Tang Xiaotang, who was also wet, and looked her up and down. Then the two of them got into the carriage together.
It seems that he will have to change places tomorrow. If he has the fan dagger in his hand today, he will have at least five more options to escape safely, and he won't have to rely on Xiaotang's long sword to help him escape.
However, he still missed his fish soup...
There is no way. Some species are just so tragic. They have a big face and it makes people feel that they would be sorry for the gift of the Creator if they were not eaten.
"Let it go for now. In a few days, I will finish practicing the first and second volumes of the dagger skills underwater and then make soup with it." Tang Zheng shook off the water stains on his hair.
"Master... I will take you to a place that is a little farther but safer tomorrow. It is too dangerous for you to stay like this." Tang Xiaotang said while shrinking in the carriage.
"Take off your clothes." Tang Zheng looked at her shivering with cold, shook his head and did not answer her question.
"..." Tang Xiaotang stared at Tang Zheng for a long time before taking off her coat...
And the moment she took off her coat, Tang Zheng wrapped her with the small blanket in the carriage.
After wrapping her up completely, Tang Zheng held her in his arms and said, "There's no fish soup to drink when we go back, but... you need to drink ginger soup."
Tang Xiaotang felt a strange feeling in her heart, which lightly spread across her eyes.
Then, she lowered her head and said with a smile, "Okay."
The carriage gradually started to move, and the song that Tang Zheng sang casually floated along the road: "I am old and still as wild as a young man. I hold Huang on my left and Cang on my right, fishing and stewing soup in the middle of the river..."
Bang, bang, bang.
As the sun set, the carriage slowly returned towards Tangjiabao.
…
The next day, Luo Fei came to Tangjiabao again as Tang Zheng had expected.
As expected, he failed to get the blueprint from Lu Huang, and he tried to persuade Tang Zheng for a long time. But Tang Zheng would not tell him that what he and Lu Huang were going to forge was just a two-star dagger... Well, even in Luo Fei's opinion, it might just be a two-star fan.
If he knew that a fan was made of the Fu Bi broken Chen stone, Tang Zheng really didn't know how furious he would be.
So the two of them bargained and finally finalized the bet.
Luo Fei took out eight coins of Fu Bi Broken Chen Stone as a bet for the design drawing that Lu Huang refused to show him, but at the same time he also asked Tang Zheng to put up a corresponding bet - if Tang Zheng lost, he must unconditionally show him the drawings that were sealed by Lu Huang!
Tang Zheng had no doubts about the credibility of Bailianfang. After the two of them reached an agreement, he sent Luo Fei away.
"Then... Master, how are you going to win?" After listening to their bargaining, the young men from Tang Family Castle became even more worried - Luo Fei was determined to win this bet.
"Hmm." Tang Zheng touched his chin, "It's time to design the rules of the game carefully..."
