After graduating, I became the Dragon King

Xue Chen reluctantly rejected Jane Lance's invitation, then cursed and changed into his coat, pulled Che Bijun into his pocket and went out.

Che Bijun cheered in surprise: "My lord, but what can I do for you?"

Xue Chen said "Yes": "I'm going to go on a long trip, I'm afraid there will be nothing to eat on the way, so I will cut some meat from your body to make soup."

Che Bijun:? ? ?

Che Bijun immediately said weakly: "Your honor, I'm pregnant... Cough, I've been pregnant for a long time, and I feel a little unwell, can you let me rest at home?"

Xue Chen had a cold face: "If you learn to shut up, I won't eat you."

Che Bijun immediately closed the shell tightly, not daring to make a sound.

Only then did Xue Chen find peace, took a taxi at the school gate, directed the driver, and went in the direction of the breath he had noticed.

The place where the breath is located is a bit remote. There is no traffic jam at this time, but after driving for nearly an hour and a half, I got off the national highway and entered a section of dirt road with few people. A continuous mountain range appeared in front of me.

"So you're coming to Xiaolanwei." The driver smiled, "I told you earlier that I would have brought you here directly, and directed me for a long time."

At this time, they had arrived at the junction of Fucheng City and Cicang City. The mountain range was the end of Languang Mountain, which was nicknamed Xiaolanwei by the locals.

The broad Tuibi River also passes by and flows into the deep mountains.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a mountain road covered by forests. The driver hesitated for a moment and asked, "Student, do you still want to go inside?"

"No, just stop here." Xue Chen paid the fare, opened the door and got off.

The driver took the money and reminded: "You are not here to climb the mountain, this place is too remote, it is a bit dangerous to be alone..."

"It doesn't matter." Xue Shen waited for him to finish speaking, and had already walked into the mountain.

Just looking at it from a distance, he felt that the mountain was not quite right. Now that he entered the mountain, the sense of abnormality suddenly materialized.

Xiaolanwei and Languang Mountain come from the same vein, and the Tubi River meanders through it. From the perspective of Fengshui, it resists the concave wind on the outside and increases the momentum on the inside. It should be a place suitable for the growth of living beings.

But the atmosphere in this mountain is too chaotic, there is no sense of harmony between yin and yang, and a sense of prosperity. Instead, it feels crowded and chaotic, mixed with violence and restlessness.

As Xue Chen walked past, forest birds were constantly startled flying, and there was also the sound of rustling, which was the sound of insects retreating.

"The image of chaos." Xue Shen whispered to himself, and his peripheral vision swept through the depths of the forest. The dragon's eyesight is very good, and it can touch the deep places that humans cannot see. He clearly saw a few wild animals hiding After the forest.

This is unreasonable, because it is only at the outer edge of the mountain. Xiaolanwei is not a barren mountain. There are farms around it, and villagers often enter the mountain. It stands to reason that wild animals should be hidden in deeper places and should not appear here.

What's more, the breath here is really too full, completely breaking the normal balance.

Xue Chen could feel the breath of the fourth child passing by, but he was completely distracted by the riot, unable to distinguish the exact direction.

In other words, the appearance of the fourth child's aura here is very unusual in itself.

Whether it is fairy dance, pyramid schemes, or kidnapping and other criminal cases, it is not easy to bring people to such places.

Nor is it reasonable.

Xue Chen was thinking in his heart, when there was the sound of gurgling water in front of him, a small river appeared in front of him, which was the fork of the Tuibi River in the mountain.

Where there is water, there are aquariums, and it is much more convenient for dragons to do things.

Xue Chen was refreshed, and walked out of the woods quickly, without the shade of branches and leaves, his eyes suddenly opened up.

He was about to walk towards the river when a familiar voice suddenly sounded beside him: "Xiao Shen?"

Xue Chen was taken aback when he heard the words, and turned his head to look, only to find several people standing by the river not far away.

Jane Lance was standing in the crowd, carrying his long sword Qiangwei Judgment on his back, with a tall and straight figure and a heroic look.

As the saying goes, there is no way out when there are many mountains and rivers, and there is no way out, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright... Brother.

"Senior brother!" Xue Chen's eyes turned up, and he felt that his mood brightened instantly.

The few people next to Jane Lance were wearing Taoist robes and carrying magic weapons. They should all be Taoists. The leaders were Zhang Dingyu, a high Taoist of Taixu Temple who hadn't seen him for a long time, and his apprentice Ge Xiuran.

Zhang Dingyu's master and apprentice also saw Xue Chen, and their faces showed surprise. Zhang Dingyu asked puzzledly, "Isn't Xiao Xue saying that you can't come?"

Ge Xiuran thought of something, and said in surprise, "Could it be that Student Xue wants to win the reward by himself?"

Jane Lance: "..."

He didn't answer Ge Xiuran's words, and went straight to Xue Chen, at this moment Xue Chen also came up to them, looked at the group of Taoists, and already had a guess in his heart, he asked in surprise: "Is the owl-faced whale around here? "

Jane Lance nodded: "Two days ago, someone came fishing in the mountains and was bitten by an unknown monster. The wound was very similar to the wound on the fishermen who were bitten by the owl-faced whale before, so Daoist Zhang and the others suspected that the owl-faced whale might be hiding here. "

Ge Xiuran, who was following behind, heard their conversation, couldn't help but poked his head over, gave a suspicious "Hey", and asked, "Student Xue, aren't you here to hunt owl-faced whales?"

"No." Xue Chen shook his head and said, "I'm here to find my roommate."

He briefly talked about the matter of the fourth child.

Jane Lance also received a notice about the serial disappearances from the school in the morning. She didn't expect Xue Chen's roommate to become one of them, and her expression became serious.

Several priests also looked at each other.

Ge Xiuran was very puzzled: "Student Xue, are you sure you are not mistaken? So many people are missing, if they were sent to the mountains, they should have been noticed long ago, right?"

It's not close from the floating city, and there are villages around. If those people are really brought here, it's unlikely that they won't be noticed at all.

Jane Lance had already realized something, and said, "I don't think it may have been done by humans."

Ge Xiuran's expression changed: "Could it be..."

"It's not clear yet," Xue Chen said, Xiao Lanwei's situation is too abnormal, and he can't tell exactly what's going on right now, so he can only put this topic aside for the time being, and ask them instead, "What about you guys, did you find any clues? "

Having seen Xue Chen's ability, Zhang Dingyu still trusts him very much, and did not hide it, saying: "The owl-faced whale has not been found yet, but something...is not quite right in this mountain."

They were not as sensitive to wind breath and water vapor as Xue Chen, and they couldn't intuitively feel the chaotic and restless breath, but they also noticed some abnormalities.

The most obvious of these is the water here.

"Look at the river." Zhang Dingyu pointed to the river next to him, his expression full of emotion for the uncanny workmanship of nature, "There are so many fish."

Xue Chen: "..."

He had already found out.

All kinds of wild aquariums can be seen swimming around in the section of the river in front of them. In addition to fish, there are also various snails, mussels, shrimps and crabs, and even some rare protected species.

But Xiaolanwei has never been famous for its fishing industry.

This situation is somewhat similar to what Xue Chen saw in the forest.

"It's not just in the river." Zhang Dingyu continued, "There are also many birds, beasts and reptiles in the forest. There are too many. Pindao has never seen a place as rich in life as Xiaolanwei before."

"I'm afraid it's not because of the abundance of life here..." Xue Chen raised his head thoughtfully, and looked further away along the direction of the river, "there are many fish in it that shouldn't appear in this place."

Dragons have a natural sensitivity to the aquatic people. Even a small dragon like Xue Chen who has never formally managed the waters can feel the situation of these river creatures.

These aquariums are restless, depressed, and fearful, as if they are being oppressed by something and cannot resist.

Zhang Dingyu didn't quite understand for a while, "What do you mean?"

Jane Lance had already reacted first, frowning slightly: "Are they forced to appear here?"

Zhang Dingyu and the Taoist priests looked at each other: "Forced to appear?"

"It should be said..." Xue Chen used a more accurate expression, "drive away."

The priests suddenly realized.

In this way, it makes sense. These aquatic animals should have been distributed throughout the Xiaolanwei River, but perhaps they were coerced and had to leave their original living places, and eventually they all crowded together.

Not only in the river, but also on land, that's why some wild animals that shouldn't be here appear in the forest, they were driven out from the deep mountains.

But who is so domineering and has such ability to drive out all these different animals?

Why were those missing young men brought here?

Zhang Dingyu thought of a possibility and cheered up: "So, the owl-faced whale should be in the mountains!"

The owl-faced whale has become a fine water monster and is extremely fierce. If it sneaks into the deep mountains of Xiaolanwei along the Tuibi River, the aquarium here is no match for it at all, and it is normal to be driven out.

"Go to the mountains and have a look." Xue Chen said.

Ordinarily, the owl-faced whale did have the ability to drive away these aquariums, but he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't easily make a judgment without seeing what was going on inside.

Furthermore, the disappearance of the fourth child may also be related to this.

With such a combination, Xue Chen simply moved with them first, and he was more familiar with the aura of the aquatic tribe, so he led them along the river to go deeper into the mountain.

The practitioners' footsteps were very fast, and after a while, the group reached a bend blocked by a mountain wall.

Zhang Dingyu paused, turned around and asked the others: "Did you hear the sound?"

"There seems to be someone." Another Taoist priest said.

Their ears are very sensitive, and they can clearly hear the faint voice of conversation on the other side of the mountain wall.

This place is already very remote, how could someone be here?

Several people looked at each other, clenched the magical artifacts in their hands, lowered their footsteps, turned around the mountain wall, and their vision was widened.

Then, they saw a few older men gathered by the river...fishing.

Behind the mountain wall is a flat mountain depression, and the river section has become much wider here.

Those uncles were obviously experienced fishermen, with all kinds of fishing tools behind them, they were fishing on the ground, whispering to each other from time to time.

Taoists: "..."

Xue Chen was also a little speechless. He had heard from the Shui people before that fishing friends in the world would do anything for fishing and dare to go anywhere. one shot.

This will be seen.

This place is deep and remote, and there are actually people who go fishing here.

This is not a good thing for Xue Chen and his group. The situation in this mountain is obviously not right, and the owl-faced whale is likely to be hiding in it. If we encounter it later, if we fight, the range of the big monster will be very wide. of.

These fishing friends are likely to become their troubles.

Zhang Dingyu thought for a while, stepped forward and made a bow, and said, "Good afternoon, Laymen."

Those fishing friends turned their heads and were surprised to see a large group of Taoist priests coming towards them. One of them said, "Why are there so many Taoist priests here?"

Another person joked: "Are Taoist priests specially trained in the mountains? It's not easy."

Taoists: "..."

Zhang Dingyu sweated for a while, and it was hard to say that they were here to catch demons, so he asked euphemistically, "Why did the monks come here to fish?"

When it came to the topic of fishing, the interest of those people obviously increased a lot.

"Why else?" The uncle who answered the question enthusiastically pulled Zhang Dingyu's wrist and pointed to the river, "Daoist, look at this place, there are more than one fish, and the variety is very rich."

Another person followed, "We also discovered this treasure place by accident a few days ago. It's strange to say that there are so many people living near Xiaolanwei. How come no one has discovered so many fish here before? "

"Hahaha, maybe someone has discovered it long ago. They are so smart that they just didn't say it on purpose."

Ge Xiuran stepped in from the side and asked, "Then there's no need to run to such a deep place, we just came in from the outside, and there are many fish in the river outside, so it's safer than this."

The few people looked at each other when they heard the words, and showed a mysterious smile tacitly.

The uncle let out a "hey": "I'm telling the truth because you are Taoist priests. If it's someone else, I won't reveal a word."

He raised his eyebrows, "We have a friend who caught a fish that he had never seen before two days ago. It was a rarity. He said that there is no fish in the outer section of the river, and it can only be found here."

"Is there such a thing?" Ge Xiuran and the others remembered the owl-faced whale in their hearts. When they heard about the strange fish species, they hurriedly asked, "What kind of fish is it? Can you describe it?"

"What's the description, I'll show you the photos." The uncle waved his hand boldly, and took out a mobile phone from his pocket.

The signal in the mountains is not good, but looking at the photos is not a big problem. He opened the photo album, pulled out a picture and handed it to the priests, "Look, this one is so fierce that it almost bit our friend. We call it Little Lantail Piranha."

The priests came forward to take a look. In the picture was a fish caught in a net. The fish was silver in color, with a slender body about the size of an adult's thigh. Sharp teeth, the net bag was bitten in several places.

This fish was not an owl-faced whale, but the priests couldn't tell what species it was.

"What kind of fish is this?" Xue Chen glanced at it, and couldn't help being puzzled. Normally, there should be no aquarium in the waters of Huaxia that the Dragon Clan didn't know, but he had never seen this kind of fish.

There was a look of disgust on his face, "This fish's face is too bad, I suggest a plastic surgery."

other people:"……"

At this moment, Jane Lance spoke suddenly, with a serious expression on his face, "This is the Paolo Mammoth...from the northern seas."

The author has something to say:

Shen: Ugly fish are not allowed in the waters under my management!

The setting of Boromamo is referenced from "Sea Monsters (Ancient European Sea Maps and Exotic Beasts)"

The northern sea area is an empty place name, which is changed to the place name in "Sea Monster". The ancient sea chart in the sea monster is also a fantasy of the previous people, which does not match the reality.Anyway, probably in the sea area north of Europe, right?
