C19 Into the river
The bright moon hung high in the sky and stars were blinking in the sky. Yu Fei jumped down from the carriage, used his key to open the carriage door, and pushed out two sturdy wooden boards from the cargo box. One on the left and one on the right, he placed them around the cargo box to build a bridge for entering the cargo box.
"Gulp." A string of bubbles appeared on the surface of the water.
"Crash!" The Alligator's huge shell drilled out from the bottom of the water.
Yu Fei used his consciousness to control the Alligator to surface. It spread out its four thick legs and nimbly climbed onto the shore.
The two meter long Alligator jogged to the front of the truck and slowly climbed up the gangplank that Yu Fei had set up beforehand. This four-meter-long box was more than enough to hold a two metre long Alligator. The inside also had enough space, the only problem was that the air inside was not flowing, the inside of the box was stuffy, making people feel uncomfortable.
After locking the door, Yu Fei erased all of the footprints the Alligator left after he went ashore. He tossed and turned for the entire second half of the night before finally returning to the carriage in relief and continued chatting with Zhou Gongzi.
At 8 AM in the morning, the truck driver arrived on time. Under Yu Fei's instructions, he drove to an abandoned pier near the water river.
The location of the dock was rather remote. It had been abandoned for many years and was in a desolate and desolate state. There were all kinds of weeds growing everywhere, and no signs of human habitation.
The truck driver did not understand why Yu Fei asked him to drive the car here. He also realised that this guy in front of him looked very mysterious, but the driver had to have the awareness of the driver, and would not ask about things that shouldn't be asked. He would definitely not take the initiative to ask, since sometimes knowing too much might not be a good thing.
"Master Zhang, come with me to take a look over there. We'll come back later to drive." After Yu Fei opened the lock on the trunk, he walked in front of the truck driver, pointed at the tall mountain behind him, and smiled as he indicated towards him.
"Alright." The truck driver straightforwardly replied.
When Yu Fei and the freight company were discussing specific matters, they had already explained these problems. Although they didn't know what Yu Fei wanted to do, a truck driver with many years of professional experience didn't have any resistance towards this idea. He obediently followed Yu Fei and strolled along the barren slope at the back.
When they were far away, the car that was parked on the abandoned wharf started to shake slightly. The door's lock was opened the moment Yu Fei got off the car, so the Alligator was able to open the door and walk out from inside.
The Alligator climbed down from the container, opened up its four strong legs and ran down towards the river at an extremely fast speed.
"Plop!"
The Alligator jumped into the river like a huge rock dropping to the ground, splashing water all over and creating layers of waves. It quickly calmed down and everything returned to how it was before.
"Fuck, I'm finally in the river!" It's really not that easy! "
It was only until the Alligator sank into the water that the boulder in Yu Fei's heart fell to the ground. It was the most important thing that solved this problem, which made him feel extremely comfortable. From today onwards, he would not have to worry about the living environment of the Alligator anymore!
The river was different from the reservoir. Here, the water was flowing fast, the underwater current was surging, and the water was especially deep, thus, without being familiar with the water area, the Alligator s would always move about on the shallow banks of the river. Fortunately, Yu Fei had picked a good location, as the riverbed was wide, making it just right for the Alligator to stay on.
Successfully stealing the Alligator. After they reached the water river, Yu Fei brought the truck driver wobbling back to the car. Seeing the opened container, although the old driver was extremely curious, he held back and did not ask anymore.
After returning home, Yu Fei laid on the sofa and instantly transferred his consciousness onto the Alligator.
The water in the river was a little cold, and there was a big guy carrying a hard shell lying on the riverbed beside the water river. It slowly opened its eyes, stretched out its head and looked around.
Beneath its feet were piles of pebbles. It tried to move and the pressure in the river was slightly greater than in the reservoir, but for the gigantic Alligator, it was basically negligible.
After walking back and forth on the shallow river, Yu Fei tragically discovered that there were actually not as many fish in the river as he had initially thought. Compared to the even more sealed reservoir, the number of fish in the water river was even lesser. After all, the river surface was wide, so the fish in the shallow water were all small fish and small shrimps, and they weren't even qualified to fill the gaps in the teeth of Alligator s.
"Looks like I still have to enter the deep water region!"
Yu Fei stuck his nose out of the water surface and took a deep breath. After he filled his lungs with oxygen, he dove into the deep water.
The further down they went, the clearer the water became. The riverbed was strewn with all kinds of things, and most of them were garbage thrown away by humans. Alligator's eyesight were not very good, and they could only see about five meters under the water.
However, Yu Fei realized that his consciousness could act as an eye.
This was a very magical experience, as long as he released his mental energy from the Alligator's body, it could cover a radius of ten meters. Everything within a ten-meter radius, including the rock, water plants, fish, shrimp, crabs, and even information about the direction of the water current, were clearly reflected in his mind.
Within the circumference of ten meters, nothing could escape from his perception.
Although he did not know what was going on exactly, Yu Fei knew that it was definitely related to the change in the Alligator, because this ability was only obtained after the Alligator's body had broken through two meters. When the Crocodile Turtle Clone broke through to two meters, it was as if his mental energy had obtained some kind of invisible energy from heaven and earth. It became extremely powerful, and in the end, it was able to comprehend the technique of using mental energy to envelop the water body.
As the saying goes, there are treasures everywhere in the water. As long as he used his spiritual force to explore the water, he might be able to find some hidden treasures in the water. If he picked up an antique or something and sold it on the black market, he would be able to easily get rich.
However, this ability could not be activated all the time, because it consumed a lot of mental energy. With Yu Fei's current mental energy, he could barely maintain it for fifteen minutes.
After a quarter of an hour, his spiritual force would become extremely weak, and he would only be able to recover through rest.
In the beginning, he had tried the reservoir, but it was too poor. It took him a few days to search the entire reservoir, but he couldn't find any valuable treasures. At most, he only found a few steel rods. Inside his clothes. Trousers, broken shoes, old socks, broken bottles, they were of no value at all.
But Jiang Li was different!
As a branch of the Yangtze River, water river was 1,800 kilometers long and spanned across many provinces. Back during the Tang Dynasty, it had already been the main waterway traffic road, with countless commercial trips during it. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were also many foreign ships coming and going, bringing many business opportunities during the period.
Water could carry boats, but it could also overturn boats. While it would bring everyone convenience and prosperity, it would also bring some unavoidable disasters. After hundreds of years of changing winds and rain, many ships that were loaded with cargo would remain at the bottom of the river forever.
Yu Fei's idea was very simple. As long as he could find one or two ancient sunken ships at the bottom of the lake, and then search through them carefully, he might be able to find some ancient artifacts. Without mentioning anything else, even if it was just a bowl that the ancients used for eating, it would probably sell for quite a high price.
Holding onto the thought of finding treasure and getting rich, he activated his spiritual force perception. Everything within ten meters of him was instantly brought back to his mind. He walked around the riverbed for a while but didn't see any sunken ships.
Yu Fei didn't give up and continued to walk forward. After a quarter of an hour, his mental strength had become dispirited, but the so-called treasure simply wasn't there. However, he did find some fat and sturdy big fish.
"Sigh, it seems like the fairy tales are all lies. Where did all these sunken ships and treasures come from?!"
Yu Fei sighed, and then his gaze landed on a big fish that was in front of him. The fish was around half a meter long, and looked extremely wild. In this area of water, they should be considered big bosses.
However, to Alligator that were over two meters long, big bosses did not exist.
The Alligator quietly squatted on the spot and waited. The big fish seemed to be used to moving about in the water, it did not think that it would encounter any danger, and it gradually approached the direction where the Alligator was hiding.
When it got closer, the Alligator quietly stuck its head forward, and in the blink of an eye, the big fish was bitten by the Alligator. It struggled for a bit, but was unable to break free from the Alligator's control, and in the end, was powerlessly swallowed into the Alligator's stomach, turning into many microparticle.
"Haha, I guessed right, it was effective!"
After eating this unknown wild fish, Yu Fei felt that these microparticle s that came out from his stomach were making him extremely happy!
It was no wonder that he was so happy. Because after this incident, he verified his previous guess that the Alligator's body did not stop growing, but had instead encountered a bottleneck, which was also known as the experience decline.
However, as long as they hunted larger beasts, the Alligator would continue to grow!
For example, this wild fish was half a meter long. Although it did not provide many microparticle s to the Alligator, because it's species were relatively rare, it was considered a wild fish. Therefore, the degree of decline was not great.
The fishes in the water river were a little inferior to the two meter long Alligator, but their advantage was the large number of them. This was the only way the Alligator could grow at the moment!
This time, another seventy to eighty centimeters large fish appeared in front of him, oblivious to the impending doom!
