Before they left, Grandpa pulled Gao Peng aside and whispered, "Don't look down on Shaotang. He's doing this for your own good."
"No, I won't. Why would I look down on Uncle Liu?" Gao Peng quickly said.
"Mmm … Back then, life wasn't as good as it is now. Shaotang used to have two younger sisters. That year, there was a famine. After a winter, he was the only child left in the family." Ji Hanwu sighed.
Gao Peng suddenly didn't know what to say. He didn't expect Uncle Liu, who always looked so kind, to have such a past.
"You have to eat more. Eat more to be nutritious. You won't go hungry … It's always good to eat more. It's a blessing to be able to eat." Uncle Liu's words echoed in Gao Peng's ears.
"I know." Gao Peng nodded silently.
Leaving the northern part of Yuzhou City, they passed by the Mountain Spirit Station.
Gao Peng only glanced at it from afar on Abba's back. He didn't go in to take a look.
Along the way, they could see Monster Hunting Teams at the Mountain Spirit Station. These Monster Hunting Teams were all in a hurry.
Occasionally, they could hear their cheerful laughter in the forest. This was the joy of another great harvest.
At least everything is going in the right direction, Gao Peng thought to himself.
After all, humans were creatures with great adaptability. They were also creatures that could create miracles the most.
The Million Mountains occupied by the Mountain Spirits had been completely cleared. It might be too arrogant to call it a backyard, but Gao Peng could walk in it with his eyes closed.
After leaving the Million Mountains, they continued to walk west for about a few hundred kilometers. They passed by a raging river.
The murky red river was turbulent. Whirlpools swirled on the surface of the water.
The Red Sand River.
Dumb recognized the river. The Undead Flame in his eyes flickered fiercely.
"Since you're here, why don't you go take a look at your people?" Gao Peng said to Dumb.
Dumb was a little moved, but his feet seemed to be rooted to the ground.
"Go, come back after you've seen it. After all, you were once their king," Gao Peng encouraged it.
Dumb tilted his head in confusion and barked twice. Then, he nodded at Gao Peng and leaped away on Abba's back.
In the depths of the forest, a group of Red River Apes lived freely.
Vines hung down from the towering ancient trees. The forest was cheerful and peaceful.
In the middle of the tree hung a two-meter-long red scale. The aura emitted by the red scale drove away the natural enemy of the Red River Ape.
A female ape sat on a tree, holding a baby ape and feeding it milk. Beside her, a monkey put a melon on its head and threw feces at the other Red River Apes. Another round of chaos ensued as a few Red River Apes started to chase each other.
Dumb watched this scene in silence, a little dazed.
.....
In the turbulent red river, dozens of small boats sailed on the river. Each boat had three people standing on it. Some were steering, some were casting small nets, and some were assisting from the side.
"Hurry up, Third Brother, hurry up," a burly man with a cigarette in his mouth shouted as he steered the boat's steering wheel.
"Don't rush, these fish are very smart. It won't be good if they're scared away." The young man called Third Brother wore a red jacket shirt with a white vest inside. He looked very strong.
"If you ask me, we should just use the golden hook net to catch all these fish. There's no need to go through so much trouble," the only boy in the team with short hair said indifferently.
"That won't do. According to the River God's rules, we can't use those large nets. We can only use small nets to catch fish. If we violate the rules set by the River God, we'll be banned from the competition."
"The first place will be rewarded with the River God's scale. All the shipyards in Lizhou City are buying the River God's scale. I heard that the scale Chen Xiaoliang got last time was sold for a million alliance coins."
"What's that!?"
Abba's huge body attracted everyone's attention when it passed by the shore.
The burly man who was steering the boat was shocked. He had never seen such a huge monster.
"Is that a mountain?"
"There seems to be a house on the back of the mountain. It seems like there's someone on it."
Abba, who was 60 meters tall, looked like a small hill to these people.
The spectators who were cheering for the contestants on the shore also couldn't help but open their mouths wide as they looked at Abba's huge body.
It was the first time for many people to see such a huge monster in their lives.
The river suddenly tumbled. Layers of red waves surged upwards. The boats drifted helplessly in the waves and were swayed further away.
Then, a huge piece of red land emerged from the bottom of the river. The bright red scales were as smooth as a mirror. It was like a small island slowly rising from the middle of the river …
"River God!"
"It's the River God!"
"The River God has shown himself."
Everyone on the shore prayed. Some of the older people even knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
In this remote place, the Dragon-Blood Red Sand Carp that protected the base city was already regarded as the River God. It was worshipped and revered by the locals.
The Dragon-Blood Red Sand Carp sensed a powerful aura passing by near its territory, so it couldn't help but surface from the bottom of the river to show its true body.
It was a warning that there was already an owner here. It was also curious about the identity of the owner of the aura.
"Hello!" Gao Peng sat on Abba's back and greeted the Dragon-Blood Red Sand Carp with a smile.
The Dragon-Blood Red Sand Carp looked at Gao Peng. It wasn't clear if it understood. It spat out two bubbles and retreated back to the bottom of the river.
Soon, people from the base city of Lizhou came to welcome Gao Peng.
"So it's Lord Undead Calamity." The receptionist who came was in his thirties. He looked ordinary and had a gentle temper.
"I'm just passing by. I hope I didn't interrupt your competition," Gao Peng said apologetically.
"No, no. It's their honor to be able to watch their competition," the receptionist quickly said.
"What are they doing?" Gao Peng was still a little curious.
"They're having a fishing king competition. They're using small nets and net bags to catch fish in the Red Sand River. The champion will be decided based on the final weight. The champion will be rewarded with an old scale from the Carp King," the receptionist said.
"There's such an event? How many times has it been held? "Gao Peng felt that it was very novel.
It was actually a competition organized by both monsters and humans. How interesting.
"It's just for fun. This is the second one. It's held once a month. The first one was held last month."
Gao Peng nodded and glanced at the dozens of boats on the river. If this competition could continue, perhaps it would become a local tradition in a few decades or centuries?
Those traditions passed down by word of mouth slowly evolved in this way.
This is only one competition that I've seen. There may be more stories happening in places that I haven't seen.
Gao Peng smiled. After watching the competition for a while, he said goodbye to the receptionist and continued to head west.
