On the opposite bank of the Huai River, a small head peeked out from a reed bed.

It was Wei Dian.

At this moment, Wei Dian appeared somewhat exasperated, and his eyes revealed an unprecedented chill.

"It was him! It was him! He actually killed the water monkey!"

Wei Dian had just entered the water and reached the entrance of the cave when he heard a loud noise from the shore. He immediately hid in the reeds on the river surface and then saw Xie An pinning down the water monkey.

Later, Xie An took the water monkey to a deserted place, and no one knows what happened... When they came out again, the water monkey was dead.

That's fine.

What Wei Dian found most unacceptable was that Xie An actually dismissed everyone, leaving Li Shengnan to keep watch on the shore, while he himself dived into the water.

"Damn it, that's the treasure fish nest I discovered!!!"

Wei Dian was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot and his eyes were almost bursting with rage.

Everyone only knows that Wei Dian rose to power very quickly, and they even say that Wei Dian is a chosen one. In reality, it's because he discovered the treasure fish nest underwater. Every time he catches a child and presents it to the water monkey, he takes the opportunity to go down and catch one or two treasure fish himself.

As long as you don't catch too many at once, the water monkeys don't seem particularly angry.

A delicate balance has been reached between the two sides.

This treasure fish nest was Wei Dian's greatest ceremonial possession.

This is the hope for breaking through hidden strength and neutralizing strength in the future.

But now, his own stronghold is about to be wiped out by Xie An...

How could Wei Dian accept this?

"Xie An! You humiliated me in the martial arts arena, causing me to be reprimanded by the Third Master, which led to him shunning me. It wasn't until I broke through to the Ming Jin realm that I regained his attention. I tolerated it because you are my senior martial uncle. But now... you've ruined my martial path! I, Wei Dian, will never forgive you!"

"I'm going to kill you, kill you!!"

Wei Dian wanted nothing more than to rush over and fight Xie An to the death, but he also knew that he was no match for Xie An.

"What I can't have, you can't have either. The treasure fish nest inside... I must have a share."

Wei Dian cried out in his heart, then slipped into the reeds and left.

After getting ashore, Wei Dian strode towards Huichunlou in town.

"I need to tell the Third Master about this. With his involvement, Xie An will have nothing to do with the treasure fish. The Third Master will take the lion's share, and I'll get a small share. Xie An!!!"

……

Huichunlou.

"Treasure Fish Nest?"

After listening to Wei Dian's report, Chen Ping removed the alluring woman from his body and his eyes shone with an incredibly bright light.

Wei Dian cupped his hands and said, "I only recently discovered this treasure fish nest. I originally planned to catch the treasure fish and present it to Master Chen together. But tonight, that scoundrel Xie An beat me to it, killed the water monkey, and now he wants to keep the treasure fish nest for himself. It's truly despicable."

Chen, the abacus expert, hurriedly packed his things, took his broadsword and hung a small abacus at his waist, and said, "The area within a radius of twenty miles of Wuqiao Town is under the jurisdiction of my Dragon King Gang. The people of all directions rely on the benevolence of my Dragon King Gang, and the Treasure Fish Nest within it naturally belongs to my Dragon King Gang as well."

After saying that, Chen patted Wei Dian heavily on the shoulder, "Well done, Chief Wei. Let's go and see what's going on. If there really is a treasure fish nest, we can report it to Second Brother and Eldest Brother when the time is right."

"Master Chen is right. I will lead the way for you now." Wei Dian carried the abacus out of Huichunlou and ran away.

Wei Dian naturally saw that Chen's so-called "reporting at an opportune time" was just an excuse; in the end, he still wanted to keep it all for himself.

However, this suited Wei Dian's taste perfectly.

Treasure fish are so rare that if even one less person knows about them, there will be one less person to share them.

However, Chen Baopan might resort to desperate measures, so Wei Dian felt he needed to make some plans...

……

Inner room cave.

underwater.

Xie An activated the Dragon Breath and entered the cave.

The entrance to the water cave is large enough for one person to enter, but the space gets smaller as you go further in. After only four or five meters, you can't go any further.

"After I activated my dragon breath, my size increased considerably. Otherwise, I could have gone another three or four meters deeper. What a pity."

"Since we can't go any further, let's lie here and see what comes out. If there are any more treasure fish, we'll catch them first."

Xie An lay motionless in the mud.

Although Xie An was a large man, when he lay in the mud and used his dragon breath to breathe, he didn't emit any aura at all, remaining as still as a stone.

After a while, there was some movement inside the water cave.

coming!

Xie Anqiang suppressed his excitement and stared intently into the depths of the water cave.

wow~

With a soft splash, two tiger-headed catfish slowly swam out from the depths of the cave. At first, Xie An couldn't see them clearly, but he could only make them out when they were about three meters away.

It was a size larger than the tiger-headed catfish Zhou Fu had given it, weighing a full four pounds. Moreover, its aura was much deeper and purer, and its chilling energy was clearly palpable.

It seems that Zhou Fu's tiger catfish, after all, had been kept in a water tank for five years, which greatly reduced its effectiveness. It was far inferior to the two pure and robust ones in front of him.

Xie An remained motionless, staring wide-eyed at the two tiger-headed catfish that were slowly approaching.

This guy is much stronger and more robust than the bull catfish, and his five senses are also much more acute.

Given the confined space, Xie An only had one chance to act. If the capture failed and these two escaped into the water cave... that would be disastrous.

wow~

The two tiger-headed catfish wagged their tails warily and moved forward two meters, already within Xie An's arm's length.

Click!

Without further hesitation, Xie An suddenly reached out with both hands and firmly grabbed the two tiger-headed catfish.

"Two tiger catfish in hand! I'm rich today!!"

Xie An did not rush to leave, but instead held down the tiger-headed catfish and continued to lie in the mud, staring ahead.

After a while, no other treasure fish appeared.

"Forget it, let's get out of here first. Wei Dian has most likely escaped, and that scoundrel probably holds a grudge since I destroyed his lair. It would be dangerous if he ran to the Dragon King's Gang to call for reinforcements."

Xie An was not blinded by the enormous gains before him.

I originally planned to catch this treasure trove of fish in one go, but it seems that's impossible now. The water cave is bottomless, and no one can get in. Next time I'll have to bring tools to dig this water cave.

"Two tiger-head catfish and two bull-horn catfish, not bad. I'll give Li Shengnan one bull-horn catfish, and I'll eat the other three myself. Who knows, it might help me break through to the Great Perfection of Ming Jin."

Xie An was about to leave when he suddenly felt a fierce gaze fixed on his back. He turned around abruptly and saw a pair of glowing green glasses staring at him from the darkness deep inside the water cave.

Its eyes were as big as a person's, gleaming fiercely.

Xie An instinctively felt a chill, as if a thorn was in his back, and involuntarily circulated his dragon breath internal energy to assume a defensive posture.

"What is this? A giant water turtle? Or a sea monster?"

Xie An sensed a tremendous danger and involuntarily moved his body back. The large green eyes merely glared angrily at Xie An, without approaching. They seemed intimidated by some aura emanating from Xie An.

Danger!

This guy is extremely dangerous!

A strong intuition told Xie An not to be careless, but he did not flee immediately. Instead, he stared back at the big green eyes, conveying a sense that he was not someone to be trifled with, and then slowly retreated from the water cave.

Whoosh!

Once out of the water cave, Xie An dared not linger for a moment and quickly swam towards the shore, his mind racing.

"That big green-eyed creature is no ordinary animal; we can't let it get away. We need to call for reinforcements and capture it tonight."
