Chapter 225 You are so slow
The rain is falling.
The lake was pitch black, rising and falling silently.
Occasionally, porpoises surface.
Huge felt umbrellas were opened on the shore, stretching out into a wide strip.
Xu Yuelong and Wei Lin sat on each side, with a glass bottle and a scroll placed in front of them respectively.
As the head of the river and lake bureau, Yang Dongxiong could not be too partial and sat in the middle.
The rest of the people are scattered all over the place.
Zhu Bingcan ordered his servants to make tea for everyone.
Looking at the two figures standing on the pier, he breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as nothing happens in Tianbo Tower, it’s good. As for outside, fighting or death will not affect him.
But after all, it was caused by the trouble in Tianbo Tower, and we can’t just ignore it and seem indifferent.
The worst thing to do in business is being indifferent.
Even if the food at a roadside stall isn't very tasty, as long as there is enough enthusiasm, business will not be too bad.
There was no way Zhu Bingcan was worse than a small vendor, so naturally he had to come out and arrange things.
Wei Shao pressed his five fingers together, causing a loud bang.
"Well, how do we compare them specifically?"
Even though he knew that the other party was well prepared, the gap in their realms was an indelible flaw.
Fate is just a vague possibility, not a foregone conclusion!
So what if a long dragon crosses the river?
Is it possible to grow claws and webbed feet in water?
It is true that Wei Lin is ruthless and indifferent, but he is clear about rewards and punishments. Whoever wins this fight will definitely receive extra rewards, not to mention the golden eyes of the golden-eyed beast!
Liang Qu waved to the fishing fence nearby.
Lin Songbao, who had been waiting for a long time, came in the rain carrying two fish baskets. He put down the baskets, and hurried back with trembling legs.
When I got back to the fishing post, my clothes were completely wet. I didn't know if it was from the rain or the cold sweat.
The gazes from so many martial arts masters were too much for an ordinary person like him to withstand.
Liang Qu picked up a fish basket and threw one to Wei Shao.
“When conflicts arise between fishermen, there is a great way to resolve them, and that is to compete with each other in the water!
Let’s see who can swim farther! Swim faster! Whoever wins gets to listen to him!”
"It's that simple?"
Wei Shao sneered, thinking they were going to compete in something.
He has learned the Water Tiger Swimming Technique, and he is at a higher level than others, so there is no way he can lose!
Do not overestimate your own capabilities.
With the support of the Tiger Hunting Master, everything went smoothly for him, and he actually forgot how much he actually weighed.
Liang Qu shook his head: "Don't worry, you and I are both martial artists, it's not that simple, do you see the fish basket?
A fish basket can hold at least 30 kilograms of fish. The total length from Shangrao Pier to Pingyang Pier is about 18 miles.
Not only are we competing to see who can swim faster, we also have to catch at least 30 kilograms of fish!
You don't have to worry about me sending water animals to cheat. There are so many porpoises in the water, all of them witnesses.
I wonder if you dare or not?"
Liang Qu never waits for revenge.
Duck water.
This is exactly the area that Hebo’s martial artists are good at!
If it were the Demon Hunting Division or the Three Law Division’s martial artists, they might have to think about it.
Wei Shao hesitated, he was not the only one who was embarrassed!
Faced with the provocation, Wei Shao picked up the fish basket and stood on the shore, proving everything with his actions.
Catching fish in the water does add a lot of difficulty, but in the final analysis, it is all a test of speed.
Not to mention that hundreds of porpoises were floating in the swamp, eliminating any possibility of cheating.
He could still fight back if the other party had water beasts, but now he was completely cutting off his own path and it was too late for him to agree.
Seeing Wei Shao's agreement, Liang Qu turned to Zhu Bingcan and bowed.
"Manager Zhu, please be the judge."
There were so many people present, and Liang Qu from the Monster Hunting Department and the Three Law Departments was not familiar with each other. Only Manager Zhu was completely neutral, so it was the most appropriate person to be the referee who issued the order.
Both Xu Yuelong and Wei Lin had no objection to this point.
Zhu Bingcan readily agreed and came over to the two of them with an umbrella.
Following the order, Liang Qu and Wei Shao immediately kicked the ground.
boom!
Two large pits were blown out on the pier, and fine cracks extended for more than ten meters on the bluestone slabs. Rainwater flowed into the swamp through the cracks.
But anyone with a discerning eye could see that the hole dug by Wei Shao was much larger than the one dug by Liang Qu, and he jumped dozens of meters in the air before falling into the water.
Just on this point, Liang Qu has fallen behind others!
Lin Songbao and others ran frantically along the shore, following the white marks underwater, but before they had run far, they were surprised to find that the two people were swimming faster than they could run!
The onlookers who came to watch the fun stood up one after another and made a lot of noise.
Xu Yuelong stood up.
"Let's go, we'll go to the finish line and wait for them."
Ran Zhongshi and the others nodded in agreement and disappeared in front of the others. One after another, everyone set off for Pingyang County, and the attendants of Tianbo Tower folded up the long felt umbrellas.
Underwater, Liang Qu was treading water with a fish basket in his hand.
He glanced at Wei Shao who was running in front of him. He was not in a hurry at all. He just let go of his senses and looked for the big fish.
The high river favorability did not allow Water Leap to evolve into Water Traveling Thousands of Miles, but it did not mean there was no progress.
Now he could leap a mile and a half in one breath, and his physical strength was enough to support him to use it nearly fourteen times in a row.
As long as Liang Qu is willing, he can swim twenty miles in a flash!
……
The water surface was choppy.
Wei Shao stepped on the water tiger and swam in the water like an arrow, moving forward with all his might.
The drastic change in water pressure squeezed out the dissolved gases, turning them into a white streak that dissipated in all directions.
When he jumped a distance away and looked back, Liang Qu's figure had disappeared.
Left behind?
Wei Shao felt contempt in his heart.
The ignorant are fearless.
I thought I grew up by the water and was proficient in water, but I didn't know that this led to my narrow-minded view of the world.
No matter how good an ordinary person's swimming skills are, they are still a far cry from the advanced martial arts!
The Water Tiger Swimming Step is not very impressive among the middle-level martial arts and belongs to the lower level of the middle-level martial arts. However, before he came to Hebo Suo, he had already mastered this underwater movement to perfection!
It is better to be good at one thing than to be mediocre at everything.
Even if someone has practiced upper-middle-level martial arts, they may not be able to match him in terms of speed in water!
Wei Shao treaded water as he moved forward and sensed a large grass carp as long as his forearm. He changed direction and grabbed the grass carp before it had a chance to escape, using the current he created to cut the water plants.
Perhaps he was too excited and used too much force, squeezing out the fish's internal organs, causing blood to spurt out and the fish died on the spot.
No problem.
There is no life or death requirement for the fish in the competition rules.
When I hold it in my hand and weigh it, it's at least six pounds. If I add four more, thirty pounds will be more than enough!
Wei Shao stuffed the grass carp into the fish basket and looked back again, but still did not see Liang Qu.
strangeness.
Still haven’t caught up with the time to catch a fish?
Could it be that... the other party has never practiced underwater techniques? ?
Is there really someone so stupid as to think he can beat him just by the performance of water?
Wei Shao's remaining hesitation disappeared, and he almost couldn't help but burst out of the water and laugh.
He did not practice pupil techniques, so he had to sell the golden eyes he obtained, and he earned more than three thousand taels.
It is equivalent to getting a middle-level Wanxiang martial art for free without spending a penny!
Resisting his inner joy, Wei Shao turned around and dived, half a second faster! Even more desperately than before!
He would ruthlessly tear apart the opponent's pride, create an unmatched gap between them as quickly as possible, and finally stand calmly on the shore to declare victory!
Golden Eye, he has it figured out!
……
The rain splashed on the surface of the river, creating dark ripples.
In the incense burner on the long table, the thin incense stick has burned more than half, and wisps of green smoke are drifting away.
The river breeze blew, and a red light appeared in the burning area. Half of the white ash suddenly broke off and fell into the incense burner, breaking into three pieces.
Everyone was looking at Liang Qu, who was sitting on the pier, wringing out water from his clothes, and whispering to each other in disbelief.
Almost at the same time, a group of important people arrived and soon Liang Qu came ashore carrying the fish basket.
Fast, too fast.
Eighteen miles and thirty kilograms of fish caught, what a terrifying speed!
Wei Lin's face remained cold throughout, neither happy nor angry, whether before or after the incident. He silently threw out the scroll, turned around and left.
Liang Qu reached out to take the flying thunder seal and carefully wiped off the water stains on it.
Xu Yuelong secretly gave a thumbs up.
Xiang Changsong and others laughed on the side.
Wow!
"Hahaha, I won."
Large splashes of water occurred and Wei Shao suddenly jumped out of the water, holding high in one hand a fish basket full of fish.
Not only thirty kilograms, he completely filled the fish basket with nearly forty kilograms!
There was silence on the shore, with only faint sounds of sneer drowned out by the heavy rain.
Wei Shao did not receive the cheers he had imagined.
He waited for a moment, looking at the people on the shore in confusion, and didn't even see Lord Wei.
Until someone points in another direction.
Wei Shao turned his head and his pupils shrank sharply.
"You're so slow."
Liang Qu sat on the shore, shirtless, tossing the scroll in his hand.
He lifted the cover of the fish basket, and saw several big fish jumping around. There was also a red blood bass moving around, almost bursting the fish basket.
