Chapter 230: Chapter 11: Berserk Junior Sister Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder (Part 11)

Fourth Senior Brother was so furious he nearly couldn’t stop himself from making a move. He never expected that this sharp-tongued, unreasonable woman in front of him was actually his little junior sister.

It was one thing to find out his secret by following him in the dead of night without sleeping, but now she was being disrespectful to him as her senior brother. The key issue was that he couldn’t do anything about her. She was a girl, the only female disciple of the Tiangang Sect, and the master had previously instructed that everything should be prioritized for the little junior sister.

What could he do if the master said so?

“Just wait, wait until she squanders our Spirit Stones, and for the next few days, we’ll just stare blankly and go nowhere.”

The atmosphere was tense throughout the journey, the Black River was eerily silent, except for the layer of waves being split open as the boat moved forward, there was no sign of life on the water’s surface.

None of the boats that set out earlier were in sight, and all one could see was the river water, nothing else.

The air around felt somewhat cold, the small boat slowly moved forward, and soon a patch of white mist appeared not far off the bow. Through it, a ship’s stern could be seen slowly disappearing into the fog.

“Why is this called the Black River? I don’t see the water being black.”

Du Furong couldn’t help but speak, then looked at the First Senior Brother.

The First Senior Brother shook his head.

“This Secret Realm is my first visit too, as for why it’s called the Black River, I don’t know either.”

Jiang Lai said nothing, glanced at the mist ahead, and then silently put on his raincoat and bamboo hat.

“What are you doing?”

“That mist feels off.”

“Why wear that when the mist feels off? That’s so strange.”

“What if my clothes get wet? It would be a waste of Spiritual Power, besides, it would be wasteful not to use it after buying it.”

Du Furong found that reasonable upon hearing it. Having wet clothes was one thing, but wet hair was not acceptable as it would affect her beauty.

Beside her, Zhang Qingqing also donned her bamboo hat and raincoat, and three peculiar individuals appeared in the small boat. At this moment, when they saw other teams navigating through the mist, looking at Jiang Lai and them, their faces were full of puzzlement.

Fourth Senior Brother only felt embarrassed, frowning as he looked to the side.

At this moment he vaguely saw something slowly drifting over in the mist-covered river nearby.

A closer look revealed it was a broken piece of ship plank, followed by more and more fragments drifting over, making the atmosphere here even more eerie.

“Where did these broken ship planks come from?”

First Senior Brother sensing something amiss, urged his spiritual power to accelerate the little boat forward.

As they delved deeper into the mist, the broken ship planks floating on the water surface became more numerous, and even a piece of blue clothing was mixed among them.

Everyone frowned, at this moment, the usually quiet Second Senior Brother pointed a little further away.

“Look over there.”

Everyone hurried to look over, even those on another boat glanced over.

Something black and dense was rapidly spreading across the water surface from within the depths of the mist towards their boat.

It truly seemed as if the river water had turned black.

But as the constantly billowing water on the river surface reminded everyone, something was beneath the water, and the rapidly consuming black unknown object undoubtedly came with hostile intent.

It was their first time entering the Black River Secret Realm, where they had ever seen such a scene? They only knew to quickly flee, away from this river.

“What is this thing?!”

Third Senior Brother saw the river surface behind him had turned pitch black, advancing towards them at a terrifying speed, he summoned his courage to take a closer look. At this moment, a black fish suddenly jumped up from underwater, biting Third Senior Brother’s hair.

“Snap.”

The speed was too fast, a lock of hair next to Third Senior Brother’s ear was directly sliced by the sharp teeth in the fish’s mouth.

Everyone was scared out of their wits.

“Quickly run, these fish eat people!!”

Du Furong was nearly scared to tears, holding Jiang Lai’s arm trembling, recalling the boat wreckage floating on the water’s surface, there was nothing unclear now, it was undoubtedly done by these fish underwater.

“Ah——!!”

A piercing scream, a female disciple on the neighboring boat was directly bitten on the face by a fish jumping up from the water, the sharp teeth like saw blades easily biting off a large chunk of flesh, fortunately, that female disciple’s cultivation was not low, killing it before part of the flesh on her face was bitten off.

With Spiritual Power blasting in explosiveness, only a fish head remained, and its mouth was still biting the boat’s edge.

“First Senior Brother watch your back!”

Jiang Lai shouted, First Senior Brother hurriedly turned around and grabbed a strange fish that almost bit his back. It was as long as an adult’s forearm, fish mouth protruding with sharp tusks, long and pointed, densely packed in two rows, with a fat fish tail powerfully thrashing and struggling, without using some Spiritual Power, it couldn’t even be held.

Everyone quickly turned around facing the river surface, in the next second the boat was surrounded from all sides by dense schools of black fish, the river surface seemed to boil with countless fish leaping fiercely towards the people on the boat.

Everyone began awkwardly dealing with these ferocious black fish, these fish absorbed Spiritual Power in the forbidden area for many years, each with cultivation around two yuan or so. A single or a couple wouldn’t be a concern, but the water in front was surging with thousands upon thousands of them furiously rushing forward.

At this moment, Second Senior Brother noticed something amiss, staring at Jiang Lai, Zhang Qingqing, and Du Furong.

“Why aren’t those fish biting you guys?”

Everyone took advantage of the chaos to look over, sure enough, on the side of the river where Jiang Lai and them were sitting, it was crystal clear, not a single fish was there, let alone attacking, they weren’t even approaching Jiang Lai’s side.

“I don’t know, am I different from you guys?”

Saying this, Jiang Lai patted the raincoat on his body.

Fourth Senior Brother thought quickly, instinctively looking at the cloak and bamboo hat beneath his feet, without a second thought, directly pulled them over and draped them on his body.

Sure enough, the moment the raincoat was put on, the fish surrounding him swiftly scattered away, starting to surge towards the others instead.

This time, the other Senior Brothers could see clearly, in panic, they all swiftly put on the raincoats and bamboo hats.

In almost an instant, the boiling school of fish in the water immediately quieted down, like trained soldiers uniformly turning away, a dense mass swimming towards another boat.

The people on the boat couldn’t hold on for much longer, each was covered in blood stains, seeing Jiang Lai and the group wearing raincoats and bamboo hats, they began to plead for help.

Jiang Lai directly took off the clothes on his body, then pulled over the Second Senior Brother closest to him, taking advantage of his stature to hide in his embrace, then threw his raincoat and bamboo hat onto the other boat.

Seeing this Du Furong, quickly thought it through, immediately took off hers, valiantly squeezing into First Senior Brother’s embrace with a grin struggling to escape.

Zhang Qingqing followed suit, directly snuggling up to Third Senior Brother.
