Chapter 161: Chapter 72 White Dragon Fish, Treasure in the Water
Luoshui River.
Above the water, waves erupted occasionally.
But underwater, it looked exceptionally calm.
Within the calm, however, many dangers were hidden.
The Luoshui River was too large, too vast, too wide.
The underwater terrain was myriad, with unpredictable undercurrents.
...
Once caught in it, one would realize that human strength had its limits, while the force of nature was boundless.
For stream control, this was the basic skill of every underwater treasure hunter.
As the saying goes, depend on the mountains if you live by them, depend on the water if you live by it.
Along the banks of the Luoshui River, many people made their living from the river.
There were many fishermen, but equally numerous were the treasure hunters and adventurers underwater.
The residents living along the banks of the Luoshui River all knew that beneath the surface of the lake lay many opportunities for sudden wealth.
Whether by catching a spirit fish, discovering Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures underwater, or finding an unknown sunken ship, one could become rich overnight.
At this time,
Above the surface of the lake,
A two-story tall houseboat remained stationary on the lake.
On the deck of the houseboat, a flag fluttered in the wind.
From the side, one could see the fluttering green snake on the flag.
Anyone with some knowledge knew this was a boat from the Green Snake Gang in Luoshui County.
“Gang Leader, this kid said that it was underwater right here that he found a sunken ship,” said a man with a sharp nose and monkey cheeks, dragging a dark-skinned man before Shi Xiaoyuan.
Then with a flick of his hand, the dark-skinned man’s form staggered and he fell onto the deck of the houseboat.
Just from appearances, it was clear the dark-skinned man was someone who had struggled for survival on the water for many years.
Prolonged exposure to the sun and wind had caused his complexion.
At this moment, as he fell onto the deck, his face immediately showed a look of pain.
From the wound on his left arm wrapped in bandages, with this fall, it was clear the originally well-wrapped wound tore, and crimson blood flowed out.
“So it was you who saw the iron ore in the sunken ship below?” Shi Xiaoyuan glanced at the dark-skinned man in front of him.
“The Gang Leader is questioning you,” the sharp-nosed, monkey-cheeked man kicked at the man.
With this kick, the pain on his face grew even more intense.
But even so, he dared not hesitate any further.
Because his family and children were now in the hands of the Green Snake Gang.
His capabilities had not yet reached Martial Arts Entry, and in front of the notoriously fierce Green Snake Gang, he had no chance to resist at all.
The dark-skinned man immediately responded, “Replying to the Gang Leader, indeed I saw it!”
Hearing the definite answer, Shi Xiaoyuan’s face lit up with joy.
Iron ore was an extremely important resource.
Such a resource was always in demand.
A warehouse full of iron ore, even to him, was a significant fortune.
Immediately, he spoke again, “Tell me more in detail, describe what happened at that time.”
“Yes!” The dark-skinned man’s face turned somewhat pale, enduring the pain as he continued, “A few days ago, Zhang Jiu, Wang Chang, and others dived underwater with me for an adventure, where we accidentally discovered that sunken ship.”
“At that time, we few people didn’t hold much hope, but upon entering the sunken ship, we found a warehouse full of iron ore inside.”
“But just as we were about to rejoice, we were attacked by a White Dragon Fish.”
“That White Dragon Fish was too strong; we stood no chance against it and in the end, I was the only one who escaped with my life.”
Hearing this, Shi Xiaoyuan’s eyes suddenly hardened.
“White Dragon Fish?”
“Are you sure you saw it right?”
The dark-skinned man shook his head repeatedly.
“I didn’t see it wrong! It was that beast that bit off my left arm, I could not possibly have mistaken it; it was definitely a White Dragon Fish.”
Shi Xiaoyuan immediately nodded his head joyfully.
“If it’s really as you say, then it’s no wonder that this shipwreck remained undiscovered; perhaps those who found the shipwreck before all perished inside that White Dragon Fish’s belly.”
“Gang Leader is wise! That’s exactly what I think too!” the sharp-faced man hastened to agree.
Then he continued, “Gang Leader, if that White Dragon Fish possesses such strength, it must have already attained spiritual intelligence. If Gang Leader catches this spirit fish, your power will undoubtedly advance further.”
Shi Xiaoyuan replied, “You’re right! Compared to the iron ore in that warehouse, a spiritually awakened White Dragon Fish is the real treasure! Moreover, that White Dragon Fish is unwilling to leave its territory, perhaps it’s guarding some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.”
“Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?” The sharp-faced man’s eyes glittered.
“Yes, exactly! Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures!” Shi Xiaoyuan said, “According to the records, in the wilderness, many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures have guardians; the guardians are there to protect the treasures and also to claim them as their own.”
“That White Dragon Fish has such power; it could not have evolved to this point without special circumstances.”
“If there are indeed Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures guarded by the White Dragon Fish, then that’s the real treasure!”
The sharp-faced man, on hearing this, immediately spoke up.
“Congratulations to the Gang Leader, best wishes to the Gang Leader!”
“With this opportunity, Gang Leader will surely advance to Martial Arts Seventh Grade, and under your leadership, our Green Snake Gang is sure to become the biggest gang in Luoshui County.”
Shi Xiaoyuan couldn’t help but laugh loudly.
“You sure know how to talk, but what you said is not wrong!”
“As long as I get this opportunity, Martial Arts Seventh Grade will easily be within reach. In the future, I’ll see to it that you guys eat well, drink spicy, and enjoy the most beautiful women!”
“Gang Leader is wise and mighty!” The sharp-faced man kept flattering.
Immediately.
Shi Xiaoyuan looked towards the dark-skinned man.
“What’s your name?”
The dark-skinned man, who had been silently listening to the two men talking, spoke up when Shi Xiaoyuan asked him, “My name is Huang San.”
Shi Xiaoyuan said, “Huang San, from now on you’ll follow me; any objections?”
“No objections!” Although Huang San was somewhat resentful in his heart, he knew resistance was futile, especially since his family was still under the control of the Green Snake Gang.
Then he spoke up, “Then… then, Gang Leader, my family…”
Before Huang San could finish, Shi Xiaoyuan cut him off.
“Don’t worry! Since you are one of us in the Green Snake Gang, your family will certainly be safe and sound.”
“Just focus on making contributions, and eventually, you will live a life of great wealth.”
“Thank you, Gang Leader!” Huang San replied.

Shi Xiaoyuan nodded, then continued, “Get ready, soon you’ll join me underwater to enter the shipwreck. Huang San, you better lead well.”
“Yes, Gang Leader!” Huang San nodded.
Immediately, he went under the guidance of the sharp-faced man to rebandage his wound.
Moments later.
Everyone finished their preparations and returned to the deck above.
