Xianxia: Why am I here?

Chapter 41: Danger zone

On a carriage, Ago was sitting comfortably on a soft surface designed like a chair. His mood was even better, as the ground moved past some river, and decided to follow it along the way.

Inside the carriage, Wang lazily put his head on Ruruo’s lap, while Ruruo seemed to admire the carriage.

On the outside, it seems normal but on the inside is unique.

Almost like vehicles in his previous life, due to the comfortable seats and back storage filled to the brim.

Five months ago, when granny Hei realized their plan to visit the outside world she did not seem interested.

The truth is, she was already not capable of protecting Ruruo due to her martial arts being behind.

Her role thus becomes minimal and Wang seems to have many tricks so she decided to stay and practice martial arts.

.....

This was supported by Wang that passed the same martial arts he obtained from the ancient texts.

Due to its level being okay, he knows she can improve beyond level ninth with some opportunities.

As for Luoli, she seemed more interested in staying at home than traveling around.

More so seeing the numerous meat still available for her to eat for a long time.

This did not seem new at all and thus only the two of them with Ago as the one in charge of the carriage.

Along the way, they have seen a lot of things even met bandits, and Ruruo’s sword technique broke through in a fight.

She has officially stepped into great accomplishment, while Wang has achieved 850000 jins fist strength.

He anticipates the moment he breaks through the million jin mark.

Perhaps his body would also change greatly, as he can already feel some unique force brewing in his body, from the fist spreading everywhere.

But that was the least of his concerns right now, he could feel movement in the river.

His consciousness spread to the bottom of the river and he indeed saw a huge shadow moving under the water.

The shape was like a mudfish but too big, he remembered back in his home world crocodiles probably the same size was viewed as the biggest.

Now he saw something like this here, it already proved his assumptions.

The world had some monsters in it, and this was not the most important issue. The important issue was the river was several tens of meters deep.

Though he did not go ahead to measure the depths of the river, he was more interested in the direction the mudfish was headed.

The carriage thus just moved slowly, and Wang also had no plans to make a move yet.

It was because he still has to consider some important issues.

And the water depth is not someplace he could jump into, however, if he took some initiative he couldn’t fail to deal with the huge fish.

He was taking his time to observe its movement and other factors as it might indeed be the only problem he faces.

Now that he was not being rushed, he formulated several methods in his mind but all of them were discarded by him.

The only way for him to deal with the huge fish was by utilization of spirit consciousness attacks.

It was indeed the only feasible method but to accomplish it, he had to launch a surprise attack or it might escape.

His true meaning water of was not something he could utilize at all. It was just rudimentary at best and the previous time it was possible due to gaining insight. He has just peeked at it, yet to set off of the road on the left.

The comprehension on his part was lacking, just as his compression towards intent, it required him to obtain some inspiration, but the opportunities he made did not seem enough.

Furthermore, he had to be sure he could pull it to the water surface before it become a meal for others.

As he kept thinking his consciousness spread to the depths of the water and it reached close to twenty meters.

This river was too deep and that could be called alarming, but the size was also large enough.

Though one can still see the other side, he was more or less interested in the mudfish alone.

The other issues were not important, and thus he discovered it did not cross a certain distance but moved backstream.

This was indeed the only reason he stopped himself from acting recklessly.

“Ago move the carriage further away from the riverside. We will camp here tonight,” he said that he was already searching for some huge vines.

They can play a good role as ropes but before that, he had to craft a hook from wood.

With enough force, it wouldn’t be a problem to penetrate the huge fish.

Then he moved by himself to collect the necessary vines and bamboo sticks.

In less than an hour, the knife from Ago was returned and he had already created a good hook.

Though wooden, it could still do the job, as thus his consciousness spread again this time after figuring out the direction of the fish, he used the hook to move towards it.

His consciousness control had been improved slightly but in this case, he didn’t need to be proficient.

After approaching it, his consciousness trapped the fish temporarily before utilizing the hook and his consciousness to attack like a flying weapon.

Once the fish reacted the hool already had targeted it, and in less than a breadth blood was starting to flow.

He pulled the vines connected to the bamboo hook up. But that was not the only thing he did, his consciousness converged in the area, and some pressure was being released which could scare anything from approaching.

When the fish reached the surface, both Ruruo and Ago were astonished.

But Wang’s face was also showing a shocked expression because the fish seemed to contain some pure essence energy.

This is very useful for his physical body cultivation. But that was not all, if even mortals ate it, they can become stronger without cultivation.

After being pulled onto land, Wang was very excited about this type of fish.

But after covering the river with his consciousness he failed to find other types of mudfish.

But he is not in a hurry, he plans to stay around and practice his first technique until he achieves the limit.

With the immense essence of the fish, how could he be incapable of improving quickly?

Ago was watching as Wang dealt with the fish as though he might also take over this job someday.

When the fire was started a huge fish was hung above it being roasted.

The aroma from the spices added spread around and only the sound of stomach grumbling could be heard.

The three had indeed been traveling all day, and for food, it’s enjoyed in the evenings.

But it does not mean that when something good comes up people won’t be tempted to consume it.

Just like that, the night passed but for Wang who was pushing himself to the limit by punching all night, time did not seem important.

At this moment he was sweating and the essence from the fish proved more beneficial than even the other beasts he caught.

The carriage stayed by the river for six days before the entire fish was digested and everyone gained something.

Ago was already closer to rank five, but for Wang and Ruruo only their bodies become stronger.

Wang was already about 980000 jin first strength alone achieved and his body was on the verge of undergoing another transformation.

With such a situation how could he be in a rush, and thus he took his time improving his fist strength.

But now he also needed some more resources, something that pushed them to follow the river for an entire day without finding any gains.

With his consciousness, he found another prey in the forest.

Since their journey reached halfway, the three indeed have not met anyone on the road.

And nobody seemed to have mentioned this problem at all.

But now the more the three followed the river they entered the danger zone. One of the uninhabited regions, covered by huge trees and dominated by wild animals.

When they kept moving further even Wang could feel new beasts appearing under his coverage.

This is also the reason he decided to camp on the spot again.

Since they were not near them yet he could start slowly hunting them for exercise.

But it is understandable as he does not know this world.

Danger zones are places humans avoid at every turn, and Ruruo could also know this if she grew up in the imperial city.

But now the three had entered a danger zone and even still acted without any fear.

On the same night, though he failed to get fish, he managed to obtain another meat that helped with his practice.

But that did not mean that he was safe, a huge shadow was moving in the water before it saw some fire light coming close to the water’s surface.

With Wang absorbed in his practice, he would still be aware of the changes around him but not on the water surface unless he searched it.

.....

A huge body seemed to make the entire river water stagnate when it moved approached, silently.
