In this hot August day, it was extremely comfortable to be underwater.
With his current physical body, ordinary fish really couldn't bite him.
In addition, he had just eaten and drank his fill, and he was tired after a day of hard work.
Therefore, Jiang Chen fell asleep with a clear conscience.
"Benefactor, save me. Benefactor, save me."
In a daze, Jiang Chen heard the childish voice of a girl.
Opening his eyes, Jiang Chen looked at the scene in front of him in shock.
A huge pillar of flame that reached the sky.
The strange thing was that he was in the river.
This pillar of flame that reached the sky didn't extinguish. Instead, it ignited with a raging fire.
What shocked Jiang Chen even more was that he couldn't feel the slightest heat from the flame even though he was right next to the pillar of flame.
Moreover, water and fire didn't mix. Why did this pillar of flame seem to have no effect on the river at all?
Such a contradictory yet harmonious scene made Jiang Chen unable to believe it.
"Benefactor, save me. Benefactor, save me!"
At this moment, the baby-accented voice sounded again.
"Who is it?"
"Who's talking?"
He glanced around and didn't find anything.
Did he hear it wrong?
"Benefactor, look up."
The childish voice of a baby rang out again.
"It's you?"
Jiang Chen looked up. At first, he didn't see it.
But when he focused his eyes and looked carefully, he found that there was a colorful … bubble at the top of the pillar of flame.
What was even more unbelievable was that there was a carp inside the bubble.
However, this carp was different from the carps he had seen before.
It had a pair of big eyes, and its body was colorful.
Just like the bubble outside its body, it made Jiang Chen feel like he was in a dream.
"Benefactor, it's me."
The carp and Jiang Chen looked at each other, but it was unusually excited.
"You can talk?"
Jiang Chen looked at this unusual carp strangely.
"Benefactor, I don't have much time. I can't talk too much."
The carp said anxiously, "I'm the daughter of the Qiantang River's Hebo. When I passed by, I found that a volcano was about to erupt."
"In order to prevent this place from being plunged into misery and suffering, I am using my body to suppress this place."
"Benefactor, if you believe me, tell me about Qiantang Jiang's father. He will definitely come and save me."
With that, the colorful carp was immediately engulfed by the flames.
Even if Jiang Chen concentrated, he still couldn't see the bubbles, let alone the carp.
"Wait!"
Jiang Chen hurriedly asked, "Even if I want to help you, the Qiantang River is so big. When will I be able to find your father?"
At this moment, the flame trembled violently and suddenly lit up with five different colors.
Jiang Chen could see with his naked eyes that the five-colored light was actually emitted by the carp's scales.
Looking at the flowing light, Jiang Chen was entranced.
Right at that moment, a ray of light suddenly shot out from the bubble.
Boom!!!
With a loud bang, a huge hole was smashed into the ground.
As the river water flowed backwards, Jiang Chen immediately used his Thousand Pound Drop ability.
However, even with that being the case, the enormous attractive force nearly swept him away.
After a full 15 minutes, everything calmed down.
Looking at the hole, the corner of Jiang Chen's eyes twitched.
Fortunately, it didn't hit him. Otherwise, with such power, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.
"Benefactor, take that scale to the Qiantang River. Someone will naturally come to pick you up."
"Three days. If you don't come back in three days, I will be swallowed by the flames."
"The living creatures here will also be covered by lava."
The voice dissipated, and the bubble disappeared into the flames again.
Looking at the scale emitting five-colored light in the hole, Jiang Chen would have thought that he was dreaming if it wasn't for the pillar of fire in front of him.
"The story of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio also happened to me?"
Jiang Chen touched his chin and didn't know what to do for a moment.
After all, there was a Connate Stage cultivator chasing after him.
However, the pillar of fire in front of him seemed to be the scene of an underground volcano erupting.
If he didn't help it, what about the living creatures here?
"I'm still too kind!"
With a sigh, Jiang Chen swam over and picked up the scale.
It was warm to the touch and had a special fragrance.
This … didn't look like a scale. Instead, it looked like a girl's sachet.
After looking at it for a while, Jiang Chen, who couldn't figure out what it was, couldn't help but put the scale away.
The Qiantang River was in the Huai River, the largest inland river in Qingzhou.
Even Jiang Chen of Chanzhou had heard of it before.
However, he had never been there.
Now that he was underwater, he didn't know where he was.
With that in mind, Jiang Chen immediately swam up.
"Look, this fish definitely weighs 100 catties."
On the boat, the fishmen were pulling the net.
However, at this moment, all the fishmen were looking underwater.
There was nothing they could do because the commotion underwater was too big.
The rolling waves and countless bubbles indicated that there was something unusual going on under the water.
"It's not just 100 catties. With this commotion, even 250 catties wouldn't be an exaggeration."
"Impossible. How can there be 250 catties? This is an inland lake."
"What's wrong with an inland lake? In the past, someone caught 400 catties of Tooth Hogfish."
"That wasn't caught by us. It was a demon caught by the cultivators."
"Demon?"
Hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment.
After all, there were indeed demons here before, but they were caught by the cultivators.
Now that the old matter was brought up again, it made them think of something they shouldn't have thought of.
At this moment, all the fishmen screamed.
It was because the net they were pulling was all broken.
"How long have I been sleeping?"
After tearing the net underwater, Jiang Chen popped his head out of the water.
Looking at the strange rocks around him, he didn't need to ask the fishmen around him.
This kind of scenery could only be found at the border of Chanzhou.
Although the Kingdom of Da Xia only had ten provinces.
A province was tens of thousands of miles long.
Even if he rode the best ferghana horse, he wouldn't be able to run out of Chanzhou within a month.
He had actually reached the border of Chanzhou after sleeping?
This was simply … unbelievable.
"No wonder they asked me to deliver the letter in three days."
The neighboring province of Chanzhou was Qingzhou. Now, he was at the border.
Three days was enough for him to make a round trip.
At this moment!
"Head? Is it a human head? "
"How can a human have such great strength?"
"He emerged from the river. Ah! It's a river demon. It's over. It's a river demon. "
"Everyone, run. The river demon has appeared."
“....”
The surrounding merfolk were panic-stricken, but they began to roar in disarray.
"Hey, hey, I'm not a river demon. I'm a human."
Jiang Chen hastily leapt to his feet when he saw the crowd disperse in a hubbub.
"He has four limbs and can speak human language."
"He's really human."
"But how did he get out of the water?"
"Don't we often get out of the water too?"
"But he tore our net."
"Could he be a cultivator?"
“...”
Looking at the fishmen discussing, Jiang Chen didn't want to waste time.
"I'm a cultivator. I was just cultivating underwater."
"But you've disturbed me. How should I punish you?"
Jiang Chen's voice was loud and clear. Wave after wave, his momentum was quite terrifying.
