"Whew!"

After the time of the small half pillar of incense, Xiao Chen withdrew his palm, took a deep breath, stood up, and said apologetically: "Uncle, your injuries have been controlled, and it should slowly get better, but I am very sorry that I didn't protect you." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Childe, don't say that, if you hadn't rescued the lion king, I would have become a river monster a long time ago, and I would like to thank you for saving my life!" The middle-aged boatman waved his uninjured right arm, and said gratefully, he felt a kind of emotion in his heart for the rest of his life, even if he lost an arm, it was better than being eaten by a river monster.

Xiao Chen didn't speak, walked to the river, swept his eyes to the river, looking for the whereabouts of Rhubarb, and saw that the water surface fluctuated the most in one of the places, and the river water was all yellow-green, obviously it was Rhubarb slaughtering the water monster, and sure enough, after a while, a lion king broke out of the water.

Rhubarb did not dive into the water again, but swam quickly towards Xiao Chen, after half a pillar of incense, Rhubarb jumped on the shore, walked to Xiao Chen's side, and said: "Big brother, the big river monsters in the river have all been killed by me, except for the little river monsters swimming to the lower reaches of the river, I have also eliminated all the others, quack!"

"Yes, rhubarb. ”

Xiao Chen nodded, and the voice asked: "Rhubarb, do you feel that this water monster is like a fish and not like a fish, it seems that a kind of fish has mutated and become extremely cruel and tyrannical, like a family member has released a mad god, lost his mind, and is not afraid of us who are stronger than them at all, do you feel this way?"

"Big brother, you're right, grandma's bears, they are ugly and humble things, they actually dare to besiege this king, let me know where their nest is, I even took their nest!" rhubarb said angrily, obviously thinking that the river monster's behavior was very strange.

"Lair?"

Hearing Rhubarb talk about the river monster's lair, a thought flashed in Xiao Chen's head, and after pondering for a while, he walked up to the boatman who was sitting on the ground resting, and asked: "Uncle, you said that it was the first time you saw a water monster appear in the river, so have you heard of anything big happening in the upper reaches of the river? If this kind of water monster keeps appearing in the upper reaches, it will be a great disaster for the common people!"

"Big deal?"

The middle-aged boatman listened to Xiao Chen's words, recalled the thrilling crossing in the river just now, and knew the seriousness of the matter, so he immediately thought about it, thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he blurted out a thing that came to mind temporarily:

"Childe, a big thing did happen, I heard a few days ago in a valley hundreds of miles upstream, there was an earthquake, the bottom of the valley cracked, and a large amount of groundwater gushed out from the huge gap, and the groundwater flooded the entire valley, but the groundwater continued to gush out, and the water that could not fit in the valley flowed out from the lowest enemy in the valley, forming a waterfall, so a small river appeared under the waterfall, and the water in the small river eventually flowed into the big river in front of us. ”

"Is there such a thing? Could it be that these river monsters came out of the ground?" Xiao Chen had a lost expression, and began to speculate in his heart, but on the surface, he continued to ask: "In this valley, has anyone found this kind of water monster?"

"I don't know. The middle-aged boatman shook his head, paused, and suddenly said: "However, there is also a strange thing happening in the valley, after the valley turned into a big pool, a few teenage children went into the water to swim, and disappeared en masse, where the villagers said, they must have been sucked into the huge gap in the valley, and now no one allows children to approach that valley pool." ”

"Collective disappearance?" Hearing this, Xiao Chen was sure that the problem would appear in that valley, and these river monsters that suddenly appeared were drilled out of the underground river.

Xiao Chen asked the boatman these questions, because he wanted to know where the river monster came from, he didn't care if he was attacked by so many river monsters just now, but Dongfang Qingwu and the boatman were frightened, and now he could have walked away, but his conscience was not happy.

If you don't find out the source of the river monster and find a way to solve the problem, there will be many ordinary people who will become the food of the river monster, because the river monster is not an ordinary fish, but a wild beast in the fish, a kind of fish has mutated, this mutated fish knows how to breathe in the aura of heaven and earth, and becomes a wild beast.

The pair of kind old men he met last time touched Xiao Chen a lot, which caused Xiao Chen to have a very good impression of the common people, and when he encountered something that threatened the ordinary people, Xiao Chen couldn't let it go, if he left, then his conscience would not be happy.

Since he had decided in his heart, Xiao Chen directly said to the boatman: "Uncle, I want to go to the waterhole formed by that valley to see, can you lead the way?"

"Childe, do you suspect that these river monsters came out of that pool?

The middle-aged uncle is not a stupid person, he guessed Xiao Chen's thoughts and plans from Xiao Chen's question, when he saw Xiao Chen nodding at him, he suddenly said arrogantly: "What a small thing to lead the way! My life was saved by Childe, as long as Childe doesn't think I'm clumsy, then what if I accompany you on a trip!"

"Well, then you have a good rest for half an hour, and after half an hour, we will set off!" Xiao Chen was very satisfied with the cheerfulness of the middle-aged boatman, and the three of them had experienced a dangerous river crossing together just now, and Xiao Chen had a good impression of the middle-aged boatman at this time.

"Good!"

The middle-aged boatman did not ask to set off immediately, he lost too much blood, and his body was relatively weak, but fortunately, after Xiao Chen's treatment, his physical strength was gradually recovering, at this time he respected Xiao Chen very much in his heart, and was extremely shocked by the magical and powerful Lion King that Xiao Chen had.

Amazing!

The middle-aged boatman was sure that Xiao Chen had an extraordinary identity, otherwise he would not have been able to have such a powerful Lion King, and he began to see the Lion King kill two giant water monsters and make four huge explosive splashes, which were beyond his knowledge as a mortal.

Half an hour later, Xiao Chen, Dongfang Qingwu, the middle-aged boatman and the big yellow dog Rhubarb, a group of four, began to walk along the edge of the river, heading upstream to the river, looking for the place that had turned into a waterhole from the valley a few days ago, to see if Xiao Chen's guess was correct.

A hundred miles away is nothing to Rhubarb and Xiao Chen, but it will take a lot of time for Dongfang Qingwu and the injured middle-aged boatman to go, and it will take three hours to reach a village called Lianhua Village.

Xiao Chen encountered several small streams connected to the big river along the way, and he couldn't be sure which one was the one that led to the valley, so he decided to find a guide in the nearby Lotus Village, and let the guide lead the way to find the waterhole formed by the strange valley.
