Chapter 183: Danger Without Danger

Li Yuanqing did not wait long before they began their busy preparations. The operation was officially about to begin.

Wang Tianshui was busy preparing for the tiger-headed shark, so he specially arranged for Zhu Yongle to accompany Li Yuanqing.

Zhu Yongle was a very young captain. Although he was young, he was abnormally calm and had a lot of prestige in this team. Along the way, he told Li Yuanqing a lot of the legends here.

There were many legends about Ye Qiluo in Rong City. After all, this god-like figure had saved their city. They also loved Ye Qiluo very much.

“Brother Li, you might not know this, but that was the most dangerous time in Rong City. These demons were naturally anxious when they saw Ping City being unified.” Zhu Yongle accompanied Li Yuanqing to the back of the team and said with emotion, “Those demons have already planned to eliminate everyone in Ping City and there will be no more danger.”

Li Yuanqing was very cooperative and listened to his stories.

“But who knew that at this moment, someone would descend from the sky and stop the demons from destroying the human race. This person is City Lord Ye!”

As Zhu Yongle spoke, he looked in the direction of Rong City proudly.

“City Lord Ye didn’t say much. She gathered all the humans present at that time. There were only more than a thousand experts gathered by the platform beside the City Lord.

“There’s a huge difference in strength. At that time, there were hundreds of thousands of demons, but there were only a few thousand humans. However, City Lord Ye had a way. She somehow summoned a large number of followers from the wilderness. Not only did she kill many experts of the demons, but she also suppressed all of them when the demons counterattacked. That’s why Rong City is so prosperous now.”

Zhu Yongle’s speech was filled with emotions. His admiration for Ye Qiluo could not be concealed.

Li Yuanqing was also impressed when he heard that. However, when he thought about how Ye Qiluo was so respectful to Hu Jiujiu, he felt a little strange.

The City Lord who Zhu Yongle admired so much was also the same person who gave advice to Hu Jiujiu respectfully back then. Who knew what Zhu Yongle would think if he knew about this?

“In the blink of an eye, the City Lord took out the fish stopper of that old dumpling!” Zhu Yongle danced as he recounted the City Lord’s arena match. However, there seemed to be a lot of exaggeration.

As the two of them were chatting, someone suddenly ran over from the front.

This person stopped in front of Zhu Yongle. “Captain, Captain Wang is asking you to go over. He said that he wants to bring Young Master Li along.”

The job that Wang Tianshui had arranged for Li Yuanqing was to follow behind the team and observe. It was fine as long as he could ensure his own safety. It was unknown why he called Li Yuanqing up.

“Brother Li, let’s go over and take a look. Big Brother should have something to say.”

Li Yuanqing followed Zhu Yongle forward. Wherever he passed, everyone looked at Li Yuanqing with respect. They all knew that Li Yuanqing had interacted with Ye Qiluo, so when they looked at Li Yuanqing now, they felt as close as relatives of Ye Qiluo.

Wang Tianshui had already led the crowd to the riverbank. In front of him was the surging river.

This and the endless river were constantly surging with huge waves. The waves churned as if they were hiding the demons hidden inside.

Wang Tianshui stood by the riverbank, his clothes fluttering in the wind.

Wang Tianshui greeted them warmly. “Brother Li, come and take a look.”

Wang Tianshui pointed at the river in front of him and introduced.

“The river water in this big river is usually the calmest at noon. Also, midnight is the calmest time. Because most of the powerful demon beasts were hiding under the riverbed at that time, the river water was very stable and there was less danger.”

Li Yuanqing nodded slightly as he listened to Wang Tianshui’s introduction.

There were countless powerful demon beasts hidden in the turbulent river. These demon beasts were energetic and were also observing the humans on the shore for an opportunity to attack.

Wang Tianshui smiled and said, “Don’t underestimate them. These demon beasts are very smart. They are currently under the river and observing carefully. If they saw that we were easy to provoke, many of them would have pounced on us long ago.”

“It’s indeed extremely dangerous.” Li Yuanqing nodded slightly.

This place was indeed not a place for ordinary people. No wonder it was so difficult for him to get those things.

“Brother Li, I didn’t lie to you, right?”

“Captain Wang, you must be joking. However, in this situation, I wonder where your target is?”

Li Yuanqing had also taken a look just now. Although it was dangerous down here, most of the people here were not very strong. They were barely in the Spirit Transformation realm. Although there were many of them, it was not worth it for them to mobilize so many people.

“Brother Li, you indeed have good eyesight.” The more Wang Tianshui looked at Li Yuanqing, the more he liked him. He was not stingy with his praise. “Although there are many good things on the shore of this river, if we attack them, it will easily disturb the big guys inside. Let’s capture the guys inside first and fish some more from here later. We’ll fish as much as we can.”

As Wang Tianshui spoke, his subordinates had already started eating.

A small team suddenly ran forward in an orderly manner. Soon, they arrived at the riverbank. When they reached the shore of the river, they released a huge piece of wood from their storage bags. The wood had already been molded.

One or two pieces of wood could not be seen, but after a while, this form slowly appeared. These pieces of wood were put together to form a very gorgeous ship.

This huge ship was huge and very slender, like a huge dragon boat.

After they built a dragon boat, they turned to the other side and built another one. Not long after, two dragon boats were completed and they went into the water neatly.

The moment the two dragon boats entered the water, a very dense light rose from them. This dense light was like a protective shell. All the demons who came into contact with it hurriedly avoided it.

Seeing that everything was almost ready, Wang Tianshui finally said to Li Yuanqing, “Brother Li, follow me later. Don’t walk around. I will ensure your safety.”

“I’m really sorry to trouble you, Captain Wang.”

“It’s fine. We’re all brothers. Why are you being so polite with me?”

As Wang Tianshui spoke, his brothers had already begun to board the ship one by one. There were grooves on the dragon boat that corresponded to people.

Li Yuanqing followed Wang Tianshui onto the boat and sat at the waist of the boat. There was a raised platform there. Wang Tianshui stood on it while Li Yuanqing sat below. He did not row with all his might like the others.

This dragon boat originally had a protective membrane. After everyone went up, the protective light shield above became even more dazzling, making people not dare to approach. This light shield absorbed the spiritual energy of everyone on the ship and drove like lightning.

Two pale yellow lightning bolts on the wide river sped towards the center of the river. The fish at the side dodged one after another. After they passed, those demon beasts revealed ferocious faces and stuck out their heads to roar in dissatisfaction.

The dragon boat ran very fast. Not long after, it slowly slowed down. Li Yuanqing knew that they were approaching their target. Everyone on the ship slowed down, and the light shield emitted slowly dimmed.

“Brother Li, I’ve already sensed the location of the target. It might be dangerous later. You must protect yourself and not be injured.”

“Don’t worry, Captain Wang.”

As Wang Tianshui spoke, the dragon boat on the left suddenly shook violently. The river water suddenly distorted, causing the dragon boat to shake unsteadily.

“Be careful!”

Just as Wang Tianshui shouted, the dragon boat under his feet began to sway.

The two dragon boats swayed as they turned in the same direction, forming a huge vortex under their feet.

The moment this vortex appeared, Wang Tianshui had already ordered everyone to stabilize the dragon boat with all their might. The dragon boat emitted a strong light.

The vortex below kept spinning, and a shadow appeared in the originally dark place. As the shadow continued to enlarge, a huge head hundreds of feet wide rushed out of the water and bit towards Li Yuanqing’s boat.

This scene was extremely terrifying. In front of the demon beast’s mouth, the dragon boat was as small as a toy.

However, Wang Tianshui did not panic at all. With a command, pillars of light suddenly appeared around the water area. These pillars of light soared into the sky and turned into a cage that pierced through the world.

The moment such a powerful cage appeared, it immediately caused the demon beast to let out a sad cry.

The Tiger-Headed Shark suddenly raised its head and spat out the dragon boat in its mouth, drilling straight down.

“Brothers, he has already fallen into a trap. We’ll get him soon if we work harder!”

Wang Tianshui was overjoyed. Today’s capture was considered smooth. Everything was going according to plan. However, he had just been happy for a while when his expression suddenly changed.

After the churning river water stopped, two huge shadows could be vaguely seen.

Wang Tianshui cursed in his heart, but it was too late.

The huge array they had prepared suddenly trembled violently as if something heavy had hit it. The pillars of light on the left and right kept trembling, as if they were already on the verge of exploding.

“Big Brother, it’s bad. There’s not one tiger-headed shark down there, but two!”

Everyone was shocked. The array formation they had set up was arranged according to the strength of a Tiger-Headed Shark. Everything was going just nice, and there was even some surplus.

However, if there were two of them, their array formation would not be able to deal with them at all.

Wang Tianshui gritted his teeth. Although success was right in front of him, what was the outcome of the risk? Reason told him that he had to retreat now.

“Leave quickly, leave while the array is still active!” Wang Tianshui shouted and all his brothers turned around and fled.

However, the moment they escaped from the array, a huge spiritual energy fluctuation swept through the entire world, raising the river water thousands of feet high.

“Howl!”

A deafening roar resounded across the wide river.

Wang Tianshui and the others could not care less now. They ran forward without looking back. Their faces were covered in sweat, but they ignored the spiritual energy in their bodies and released it towards the dragon boat.

Li Yuanqing looked at the members of the expedition team beside him. All of them had despair on their faces. Although their limbs could still function normally, their muscles were trembling continuously. Huge fear had already devoured them.

Even though everyone was already rowing with all their might, the dragon boat that flew out like a shuttle was nothing compared to the extremely fast Tiger-Headed Shark.

Two huge shadows slowly passed under the dragon boat. The two shadows flew out like nightmares. Immediately after, a crack seemed to appear in the world in front of them, revealing two very wide abysses that blocked the two dragon boats.

Wang Tianshui tried his best to slow down the dragon boat and stopped in front of the mouths of the two tiger-headed sharks. However, the Tiger-Headed Shark closed its mouth firmly. It turned out that this abyss-like black hole had already enveloped the entire sky.

Wang Tianshui looked sadly at the huge jaw that was slowly descending from the sky. He had never expected that his operation today would be so miserably defeated.

The Tiger-Headed Shark that they had taken a fancy to was a male Tiger-Headed Shark. Its strength was only at the fourth-grade Spirit Transformation Realm. That was why they had the guts to attack.

However, he did not expect that this male Tiger-Headed Shark would have a female Tiger-Headed Shark by its side. This female Tiger-Headed Shark was much stronger and was almost at the beginning of the sixth-grade Spirit Transformation Realm. They could not resist such strength.

These two mouths enveloped all the light and covered the sky. Just as everything was about to fall into darkness, an incomparably sharp sword light appeared out of thin air. The sword intent spread throughout the world. That aura was like the descent of a Great Lord.

One strike.

It split open the darkness for a long time and emitted light.

One strike.

Blood splattered on everyone’s heads.

The bodies of the two tiger-headed sharks were split into two and fell heavily into the river. The two tiger-headed sharks that were alive just now had already turned into four pieces of flesh that floated in the water.

What happened before them was unbelievable.

“What happened? Who saved us?”

“What happened just now? Wasn’t I already dead?”

They exclaimed. They were looking for their savior, looking for that god-like figure.

Wang Tianshui’s face was filled with shock as he looked in disbelief at Li Yuanqing, who was slowly descending from the sky. He never expected that the kid he casually picked up would instantly kill two powerful Tiger-Headed Sharks.
