Chapter 177
The group chatted as they walked towards the river, led by Little Fish King Biao.
The children at Yuerdong all have a relatively fixed spot for fishing or catching fish. This spot is where the riverbank is flattest and there are no sharp rocks or anything like that, so there is not much danger and it is also convenient for the children to move around.
Even if you go into the river and encounter danger in the water, you can get back to shore in time.
It has become a safe location over the years.
Of course, some children in Fish Cave don't like catching fish here and will choose to catch them elsewhere, but that will test their ability to deal with danger.
Over the years, most of the small fish kings have not chosen to come to this place, because safety or stability sometimes means that there is little chance of reaping any rewards.
Fortune favors the bold, and fish naturally thrive in turbulent waters.
Therefore, most of the Little Fish Kings throughout history have their own exclusive locations, places that are difficult or undesirable for other children to approach.
The same goes for Little Fish King Biao; he has his own "exclusive spot for catching fish."
Little Fish King Biao led Jiang Luoluo and Shou Yue further and further astray, to the point where they had to constantly clear away plants in order to continue their journey.
Shou didn't feel anything was wrong at all.
With his personal strength, he wasn't worried about encountering any dangers.
Little Fish King Biao also stopped keeping quiet and remained silent. He would occasionally explain a few things to Jiang Luoluo to prevent her from overthinking.
"The kind of transparent stone that Luo wants, although there are many along the river, you can't find it over there. You need to walk a long way from here."
Jiang Luoluo nodded, but her attention was drawn to the direction indicated by Little Fish King Biao. She began to ponder this direction... It seems to be heading towards the Gray Dead Soil Plain?
The relationship between the river, Yinfeng Mountain, and the Gray Dead Soil Plain is roughly like an isosceles right triangle—Yinfeng Mountain is close to the river, but far from the Gray Dead Soil Plain.
Meanwhile, Little Fish King Biao was leading Jiang Luoluo and Shou along a route that was approaching the edge of the Gray Dead Soil Plain.
Of course, in terms of overall location and distance, they are no different from standing still, except that it is rare to be able to see the gray-dead plain from the foot of the mountain rather than from the top.
Jiang Luoluo was somewhat restless... Couldn't we really get a little closer to the Gray Dead Soil Plain? I really want to go and see it!
Seeing that Jiang Luoluo's attention had shifted from the river to the gray earth plain, they noticed that she was looking into the distance.
Shou suddenly remembered what Jiang Luoluo had told him yesterday, and recalled that Jiang Luoluo had always wanted to see the Gray Death Soil Plain and learn about its situation.
Immediately sensing something was wrong, he quickly reached out and grabbed Jiang Lele, speaking earnestly, "Luo, you absolutely cannot go over there, not even if you sneak over."
Jiang Luoluo quickly coughed and gave a sweet, obedient smile. "How could that be? Why would I sneak over there?"
Anyone else who knows Jiang Luoluo better, or any adult who understands "children" well enough, would be on high alert at this moment, wary of the child's mischief.
Although Jiang Luoluo isn't the kind of troublesome kid who'll cause trouble, she can actually be just as troublesome when she does cause trouble; otherwise, how could she have created so many messy things?
It's just that most of the things Jiang Luoluo transports are useful, so people subconsciously overlook her true nature.
Unfortunately, Shou doesn't know Jiang Luoluo very well, nor is he an adult who has started a family and raised children. He hasn't fully realized that one shouldn't easily trust children.
On the contrary, Little Fish King Biao, after hearing the conversation between the two, simply glanced at Jiang Luoluo and then took out a fishing line from his pocket and handed it to Shou.
Shou was somewhat surprised and didn't understand what was going to happen.
Little Fish King Biao pointed at Jiang Luoluo and said, "The road ahead is a bit steep and slippery, and it's not safe for Luoluo to walk on it. You can use this to tie Luoluo up so she doesn't accidentally fall."
Shou originally wanted to say that with him there, there was no need to go to such lengths. With his reaction speed, he could pull Jiang Luoluo back before she even fell.
He didn't know if it was because he had spent the day with Jiang Luoluo, but a string in his mind suddenly tugged, and he thought of the conversation they had just had.
So he silently took it, and before Jiang Luoluo could object, he wrapped the fishing line around her waist and tied the other end to his own wrist.
That way, even if she doesn't see her at any time, or if her attention is diverted and she doesn't pay attention to Jiang Luoluo, she won't be able to escape the distance of this fishing line.
Jiang Luoluo's eyes widened; her little plan hadn't even been hatched before it was shattered.
She pursed her lips and looked up at Little Fish King Biao, their eyes meeting. She wondered if he did it on purpose, or on purpose, or on purpose... No matter how she thought about it, it must have been on purpose!
However, it's understandable. If Jiang Luoluo hadn't brought Shou along, the other end of the fishing line should be tied to Little Fish King Biao right now.
Little Fish King Biao doesn't have the powerful reaction ability of a fully transformed adult member of his race, and cannot guarantee that he can protect Jiang Luoluo's safety at all times. Therefore, he can only use this method to protect Jiang Luoluo.
But the fact that he took this out at this time, without Shou needing it, clearly shows that he trusts Jiang Luoluo even less than Shou does.
I've already seen through Jiang Luoluo's true nature.
Curiosity can be a good thing sometimes, but it can also bring great danger, a principle that Little Fish King Biao understands very well.
"How much further do we have to go?" Jiang Luoluo asked somewhat angrily after being seen through, mainly because she felt embarrassed that her thoughts had been read by a child of about ten years old.
This is called being enraged out of shame.
Moreover, the overly lush grass here is quite annoying.
Although there were obvious traces of the path, it was a known fact that the plants here grew rapidly. In less than one night, the path that had been walked the day before was already mostly covered by plants again.
Little Fish King Biao skillfully led the way, with Shou occasionally lending a hand. They all had things to do, leaving Jiang Luoluo to wait idly, making the time seem excessively long.
