Chapter 47 - Bottomless Inverted Cylinder

I looked into the river and saw, baby, that it was a big black fish. Just by looking at the surface of the water, its back was almost two meters long.

The large fish swam towards the center of the pond while opening its large, flat mouth and devouring the other fish and prawns.

I asked Wild Man if the big fish was the Ghost Catfish he said it was, and what's the use of having it.

Yen said yes, only said that the ghost catfish gallbladder can help to eliminate the evil, let me help to catch the fish quickly.

Dou Dabao asked for a big net from someone he was familiar with, and the two of them stood on guard in the spot where Ye Lang had thrown his finger.

Seeing that the Ghost Catfish was swimming closer and closer to me, I felt a chill run down my spine.

This was just a small pond, how could it raise such a large fish? Even the gluttonous catfish have lived for who knows how many years.

When they were fishing just now, Dou Dabao said that this place would be overturned every year around the Heavy Sun Festival. The locals said that Lord of the Rivers had toured this place to the benefit of the people.

From the looks of it, the fish jumping around the pond was probably this ghost catcher's doing.

The Ghost Catfish followed the scent of blood and was about to reach the shore.

Dou Dabao and I rubbed our hands together, preparing to throw the trap.

Suddenly, the sound of wind breaking rang out. A streak of cold light flew into the pond from the side, landing right on the head of the Ghost Catfish.

"Fish Spear!"

I was stunned. In the blink of an eye, I saw a few burly men standing not far away. Two of them were holding fish spears in their arms.

"Not good. Demon Catfish has been frightened and is about to get angry!" The wild man exclaimed, telling us to cast the net as soon as possible.

Just as Dou Dabao and I were about to cast the net, the Ghost Catfish in the pond flipped over violently and swam towards the middle of the pond at a slanted angle.

The rope on the spear was stretched straight.

The shooter didn't have time to let go before he was dragged into the water.

"Not good, quickly save them!" Dou Dabao shouted.

The people who were originally fishing for the fish also ran towards that direction.

Wild Man was so anxious that he stomped his feet. "It's over, it's all over, we wasted our efforts!"

Looking at the far distance between the ghost cat and his bleeding finger, I was also infuriated.

The old man didn't hesitate to maim himself in order to lure the strange fish out. Where did this fellow come from to interfere and ruin everything?

"Without the Ghost Catfish Bile, she's dead!" Ye Chen said with a pale face.

I glanced at Ji Yayun, gritted my teeth, and took out a small knife from my bag. Taking off my shirt, I ran and jumped into the pond, chasing after the ghost catcher.

"F * ck, you want to die? Hurry up and come up, this pond has no bottom!" Dou Dabao shouted from the shore.

How could a person swim faster than a fish in the water? Fortunately, the Ghost Catfish was shot by the spear, so it didn't simply want to escape.

Just as I swam over, the big guys jumped down from the pond and chased after the ghost catcher.

I saw that the catfish was so huge and so powerful that I didn't dare to chase them from behind, so I took a detour to the side.

However, one of the men didn't seem to care and directly swam over from the back.

The Ghost Catfish's tail suddenly swept up from the water. The person who was hit by the giant fish tail immediately fainted like a dead fish.

When his companions saw this, they hurriedly rushed forward to rescue him. However, before they could even swim towards him, something strange happened.

The powerful force of the tail swipe was so strong that half of the man's body was sent flying out of the water.

However, very quickly, he began to sink downwards.

The scene was eerily eerie, as if someone had grabbed his ankle underwater and pulled him straight down.

Before his companion could reach him, he was gone.

My scalp tingled. I wanted to retreat, but seeing that the Ghost Catfish was in front of me, I couldn't bear to give up.

He clenched his teeth and swam towards the head of the fish.

Just as I was about to swim to the front, I suddenly felt a hand tightly grabbing onto my ankle!

It was clear enough that it was a hand that grabbed my ankle and yanked me into the water.

I was terrified, and I was about to struggle free of it when the hand dropped.

I didn't have time to think about what had happened. I was already in front of the Ghost Catfish.

The moment it saw the spear sticking out of its head, it reached out its hand to grab the spear. It took out a knife from its mouth and stabbed the fish in the head.

I don't know if it was an illusion or what, but as the knife stabs downwards, I can actually hear the screams of people.

That voice was old and mournful, making those who heard it feel their hearts tremble.

Damn, could it be that this big fish has turned into a spirit?!

There was no turning back to shoot. At this point, it was impossible to stop.

I aimed at the fist-sized eye and stabbed again.

After this cut, the screams became even more miserable, as if they were just beside my ear.

After being struck twice by the ghost catcher, he was completely mad. He straightened his body and suddenly jumped out of the water.

I clutched onto the spear tightly and was carried out of the water. However, I took the opportunity to stab twice in the direction of the fish gills.

The Ghost Catfish flipped over and dived straight into the water.

I held my breath and was carried down.

It was only now that I understood why Dou Dabao had such a huge reaction.

The Ghost Catfish leaped up and down the river of pain at an incredible speed, and I felt like I couldn't hold my breath any longer, but I still hadn't reached the bottom of the pool.

This pool of water seemed to have no bottom!

I could only try my best to make up for my loss with my knife. I didn't know how many times I stabbed, but when the water around me was dyed red with the blood of the fish, I saw an unforgettable sight.

The Ghost Catfish finally swam to the bottom of the pond.

The bottom of this small pond was actually filled with human bones!

There was a limited distance to be seen under the water, but there were at least a hundred skeletons.

Recalling what Dou Dabao had said about the origins of the Liantang Town, my heart twitched.

Apart from other places, this pool of water was a true corpse pit.

The Ghost Catfish finally exhausted all of its strength and stopped moving. It started to slowly float upwards.

Exhausted, I grabbed my spear and followed him up.

I don't know if it was due to the exhaustion of my strength, but I had a strange feeling as I floated up.

I felt countless hands by my side trying to grab onto me, but there was one person who had always been by my side, trying to drive away all of the ghosts that wanted to keep me here …

"It's coming up, it's coming up!"

"That person is still alive. There's still one more alive!"

I gathered my last bit of strength and dragged the ghost catcher to the shore.

Dou Dabao, Ye Lang and Sang Lan's father pulled me to the shore.

Only then did I realize that none of the four people I had jumped into the pool with had survived except the man who had been dragged out of the water in time to be rescued.

The Ghost Catfish, being dragged ashore, was immediately surrounded by onlookers.

This fellow's body was actually nearly three meters long, and his physique was even larger than what he had imagined.

After pointing out the direction, I split open the belly of the fish to get the gall bladder, and the group left the pond.

Arriving at Dou Dabao's home, he found his own clothes and changed me.

They were eating grilled fish tonight, so he had to admit that Dou Dabao's father's cooking skills were really not bad. Dou Dabao and I grinded our teeth as we ate heartily.

Dou Dabao and I clinked cups, drank a mouthful of wine, and grinded his teeth as he scolded me:

"You're really even worse than I am. You didn't even ask me for details before you dared to go into the water. We locals call it inverted tank, mouth down, no bottom! For those who fall, regardless of whether they are the lord or children, only a few will be able to get them back, and even their corpses will not be seen! "

He smacked his lips and said, "Strange, there has never been a catfish in the tank. How can there be one this big? Hehe, speaking of which, I have to thank you on behalf of my parents. If you get such a big catfish up there, tomorrow will definitely get the headlines, and our Liantang Town will become even more famous. Our family's business is bound to be very good. "

Catfish...

Remembering the corpse I saw at the bottom of the lake, I couldn't help but shiver.

Let them stay at the bottom of the water for the better part of a century.

Think of it as me helping Liantang Town keep this a secret for this bro.

As the two of them chatted while eating, Sang Lan's family and Ye Lang walked over.

Sang Lan's mother did not come.

Sang Lan sat beside me and the others also sat at our table.

Dou Dabao was straightforward and hospitable, immediately calling for the servants and food in the shop.

I looked at the bandaged finger of the wild man and couldn't help but ask, "Old mister, Mister Yin Yang is only a businessman. In order to help people settle their problems, you don't even need a finger. Is it worth it?"

For the first time, the wild man revealed an unkind smile.

He was about to open his mouth when a gray-haired old man came upstairs, accompanied by a man and a woman.

My eyelids jumped, Du Hanzhong!

As a local celebrity, I still know him.

Du Hanzhong walked over, he glanced at everyone and his gaze landed on me, "How much is it?"

"How much is it?" I was confused.

Ye Lang suddenly raised two fingers: "Two hundred thousand."

Without saying a word, Du Hanzhong immediately had his men take out two bundles of unopened red fur from his bag and place them on the table.

He took out a small bottle that was not much bigger than an eyedropper bottle from his bag.

Du Hanzhong accepted the bottle, carefully kept it, nodded his head, then turned and went downstairs, bringing the rest of the people with him.

He pushed a bundle of red hair in front of me and said with a smile, "Little daoist friend, this is your share."

Dou Dabao's eyes widened as he asked, "What's that? You guys are trading D-Pin at my store? "

I came back to my senses a little and asked Yanzhong: "You sold Du Hanzhong fish gall? The four people who died in the pond in the afternoon, were they Du Hanzhong's men? "

Ye Lang nodded, "The Ghost Catfish's nature is extremely dark. The Ghost Catfish bile can be mixed with the other few herbs to remove the fire fiend brought by the corpse oil."

I looked at Sang Lan, then looked at Ji Yayun …

~ It seems like they came to Liantang Town about the matter regarding Sang Lan.

A small bottle of bile sold for two hundred thousand dollars, so how much did a big fish cost? No wonder the wild man would rather bite off half of his finger to lure the Ghost Catfish out.

I put the money away peacefully. This was what I had risked my life for, so there was no need to be polite.

Ye Lang glared at me with his green beans for a while, then suddenly said: "Fellow Taoist, from what Sang Lan said, you should also have been entangled by the Fire Fiend, but why do I see that you have the appearance of a Water Fiend on your body? You offended a water ghost? "
