Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 151: The River Changes
The port outside Dongnae County.

As the government has focused on developing water transport trade in recent years, this largest port in Donglai County has also been greatly developed.

With many cargo ships coming and going, the local fishing industry is also thriving.

The village that originally depended on the port is also showing signs of becoming a port town due to vigorous development.

As more and more people went out to sea to search for treasure, priceless treasures often appeared in this port town, causing a sensation.

Nowadays, there are special treasure appraisal meetings in the town, where some of the unearthed treasures can be displayed, exhibited, and auctioned to maximize profits.

"Brother Song, how about this piece of red chalcedony?" Song Ping'an pointed at the piece of fiery red chalcedony on display at the treasure appraisal meeting. It looked like real fire-burned jade and was quite eye-catching.

"Yes, you must buy it." Song Changming took a look and then nodded.

His skin refining, flesh training, and marrow cleansing have now reached the seventh level.

Among them, the Cleansing Marrow and Refining Body Technique progressed the fastest, second only to the Bull Demon Technique which had been practiced to the highest level, and was currently sprinting towards the eighth level.

This piece of red chalcedony is very rare, and its quality is excellent which can be seen with the naked eye. Taking a picture of it might help him to reach the eighth level in one go.

Song Changming would naturally not miss such a treasure.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it for the next two days." Song Ping'an nodded.

Such a piece of red chalcedony is quite expensive.

Especially since it is put up for public bidding at this treasure appraisal meeting, it would probably cost more than a thousand silver coins.

However, Song Changming didn't care. As long as it could improve his martial arts skills, it would be worth spending any amount of money.

Especially since there is a high probability that he will go to Yuxu Mountain again next year, improving his strength before that will provide him with an extra layer of security.

After seeing the red chalcedony, Song Changming walked around the treasure appraisal meeting a few more times to observe other newly appeared sea treasures.

This has become his regular schedule every now and then.

From time to time he would come to this port town to join in the fun of treasure appraisal, hoping that he could find the top-quality treasure he needed.

After asking Song Ping'an to write down a few rare materials that were worth bidding for, Song Changming then walked to the port and looked out at the vast Luolong River in front of him.

Right now, the river is not calm. The current is extremely turbulent, and there are abnormal undercurrents surging at the bottom of the river. Large whirlpools are generated from time to time. If smaller fishing boats collide with them, they may even be swept down and sink to the bottom of the river.

In addition, from time to time, gusts of hot air would rise from the surface of the river, filling the air and turning into smoke.

This kind of phenomenon had already appeared half a year ago.

It was just that it wasn't very obvious at the time and no one cared.

It was not until recent days that the movement on the river intensified and even affected the docking of cargo ships, which attracted widespread attention.

Even the government was alarmed and the Grain Transport Administration dispatched a large number of personnel to various places along the river to investigate the situation.

"Could it be that there really is an underground volcano?" Song Changming stood on the dock, feeling the abnormal heat rising from the river surface, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He had some guesses long before.

If this is really a sign of an impending natural disaster, the destructive power it will bring will be immeasurable when it really breaks out.

Not to mention the county town, this increasingly prosperous port town in front of us is likely to be doomed.

Even though he had extraordinary martial arts power, he was still extremely small and fragile in the face of a truly huge natural disaster.

"I just hope I guessed wrong." Song Changming shook his head.

He is not the one in power, and there is nothing he can do in this situation.

Just as Song Changming was about to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of people getting off a cargo ship that had just docked in the distance.

It was the member of the Dinghai Water Gang.

Since Gu Wenhui took charge of the seven counties, he quickly abandoned a group of useless and impure forces under his command.

This includes the Dinghai Sea Gang, so that they can no longer rely on their official positions to act tyrannically.

Nowadays, although the relationship between the Dinghai Shui Gang and the government is still not very harmonious, at least they don't start killing each other as soon as they meet.

The government controlled this port town, made rules, and allowed the Dinghai Water Gang to enter and exit the port to do business, but the prerequisite was that they had to follow the rules set by the government.

In response to this, the Dinghai Sea Gang became much more obedient and had no objections.

They are well aware that things are different now than they were in the past.

Under Gu Wenhui's rule, the authority of the local government is far greater than before. If the Dinghai Sea Gang dares to cause trouble again, they will be in danger of being wiped out. As a result, the influence of the Dinghai Sea Gang on the water is no longer as strong as before.

If he had just seen this group of honest and upright members of the Dinghai Shui Gang, Song Changming would not have cared too much.

What really caught his attention were the few people wearing hats and covering their faces who were walking down from the Dinghai Shui Gang.

After taking a closer look, Song Changming felt that those people looked somewhat familiar.

Aren’t they the three Dongcang dragons who were chased away back then?

It happened many years ago. At that time, the Xiao family was in power in Donglai County. Song Changming had fought with one of the Three Dragons of Dongcang.

Now, with the hegemony of the Fifth Prince and Gu Wenhui becoming king, the three leaders of the bandit army that gave the government such a headache in the past have returned.

"Brother Song, what's wrong?" Song Ping'an asked in confusion.

"Nothing, I just met some old acquaintances." Song Changming retracted his gaze and smiled faintly.

No matter what those bandit leaders intend to do when they return, it doesn't matter much to Song Changming, a commoner now.

As long as the other party doesn't provoke him, he won't pay too much attention to it.

"Accompany me to the riverside for a walk, and we'll be back soon." Song Changming continued.

He mainly wanted to investigate the abnormal situation in Luolong River for a while.

Song Ping'an nodded in agreement.

After walking along the shore for a while, he suddenly noticed that there were occasional fish floating upside down on the surface of the river, which made his face look even more serious.

I had a vague feeling that something was about to happen.

The fog on the river surface became thicker and thicker, and the heat continued to spread.

Suddenly, a huge fish with sharp thorns several meters long floated out of the river, and actually smashed half of the dock with its head. It got stuck in the mud wall on the shore and struggled wildly, causing quite a commotion.

"How is this going!"

"Isn't this the Black Sword Blood Fish? How did it suddenly rush ashore?!"

"Be careful, this vicious fish is very dangerous, don't get close!"

"."

Many people on the shore were amazed by this, while some others felt a little uneasy as they looked at the increasingly abnormal river.

Soon, the destroyed dock also attracted a group of soldiers from the Grain Transport Bureau, who were about to deal with the crazy and ferocious fish.

But at this time, another big fish that had been buried deep at the bottom of the river rushed out. Its huge body was like a water monster, and it destroyed another cargo ship in an instant!
Now, more and more people finally realized that something was wrong.

This river seems to be about to riot!

"Young master, this place is very dangerous, you'd better go back first." The old servant who was accompanying him at another place on the shore advised.

"This is also part of my experience going south. How can I just leave? I want to see why this Luolong River is so abnormal. Maybe I can get an opportunity if I stay!" Li Puxing walked on the shore, looking at the river with a curious look on his face.

Just at this moment, a missile seemed to be launched from somewhere on the river and exploded directly.

With a dull bang, the water surface bulged up and the surging sand, mud and water made the river surface turbid in an instant.

Standing on the shore, Song Changming could clearly feel the ground shaking, which made him retreat with Song Pingan.

The movement on the river surface continued. Countless schools of fish emerged from the bottom of the river, jumped onto the surface, and kept jumping around, appearing restless.

This was the first time anyone had seen this scene and they were all terrified.

"what's the situation?!"

“This is what happened!”

"Such a rich resource, I really want to cast a rod, I am afraid I can catch fish with my eyes closed."

"What are you thinking about? I've been feeling weird about Jiang recently. Something must have happened today! Go! Go!"

"Quick! Go and drive the boat away!"

"."
