This valley was surrounded by mountains on all four sides. Furthermore, they were all sheer cliffs with thousands of vertical walls. It was simply impossible to climb up with bare hands.
The key point was that given such geographical conditions, the wind wouldn't be able to blow in, causing the weather to be extremely hot and stuffy. It was so hot that it made it hard for people to breathe.
When the weather was at its hottest, we came to a small stream. This place was quite open and we could see pretty well, but everyone was extremely tired, so we stopped and rested by the stream. However, there were still people taking turns to guard it.
The sound of water gurgling could be heard and the river water was clear and transparent. Bowing to the water on his face, he suddenly felt very comfortable and cold. His body was covered in sweat and if he could take a bath in this cool stream, then he would definitely be beautiful.
However, no one dared to relax or take off their clothes to bathe in a stream. If something happened, they wouldn't be able to run in time. They couldn't run around naked in the wilderness.
The big guys stood around the stream and washed up. After eliminating a lot of heat, they still felt very good.
Now that they were free, many of them started to feel lazy, as if they didn't even want to leave.
Because that's what I thought at the time.
While they were washing the fish, the two soldiers noticed that there were a lot of big fish in the stream. They were black, fat and big, different from the ones outside.
Perhaps it was because they had never seen humans before, but these fish were not afraid of humans. Even after seeing humans enter the water, they still came over to watch curiously, completely unafraid of death.
For the past few days, the big guys had been living out in the open, drinking mineral water when they were thirsty and eating compressed biscuits when they were hungry. They hadn't seen any meat for a long time, so when they saw the fish, they immediately suggested catching a few and the big guys started eating to replenish their strength.
No one thought too much about it. This suggestion was quickly agreed upon by everyone.
The fish in the river were easy to catch. If you didn't reach out, it would rub itself against your body, catching every fish accurately. Not long after, more than ten large fish were thrown onto the shore.
If we catch too many, we won't be able to eat them.
Right next to the stream, a few armed police soldiers cut open the fish and cleaned it. Someone built a bonfire there. More interestingly, one of the soldiers was even carrying a small iron pot, which was slightly bigger than a helmet.
We roasted most of the fish over the fire, and Li Shujie specially cleaned one and cut it into pieces with a knife. He put it into the small pot and boiled it.
There was no need to add any other seasonings, just a little salt for the clear mountain spring stew. Not long later, a strong fishy aroma wafted out, making people's appetite boil and making them drool.
After half an hour, the grilled fish were ready and the cooked fish were done. The big guy was not humble at all, so he each took a big fish and began to eat.
I reached out my hand to catch it, and immediately smelled the rich fragrance. Saliva immediately flowed out, I had never smelled such a fragrant fish soup in my life before, so I ignored the heat and directly drank it. The moment the mouthful of fish soup entered my mouth, it passed through my taste buds and reached my entire body.
The big guys didn't have the time to talk for a while, all they could hear was the sound of fish being eaten, and they all started sucking in cold air from the heat.
He quickly stood up and walked to the side of the wok to make more fish soup. Only at this moment did he realize that he had already squatted down beside the wok and started to drink the entire wok of fish soup with a spoon in his hand. He had already finished most of the fish soup, and even more than half of the fish meat had already been eaten by him, leaving only the head of the fish inside the wok. Why don't you even say hello to me?!
Thinking about this, without even thinking about it, I smashed the military canteen in my hand towards Li You Jie's head. He immediately fell to the ground and I smashed the canteen flat.
However, Li Shujie is still a cultivator after all. After he was smashed by me, he quickly reacted.
He turned his head around and looked at me viciously. His eyes were filled with anger and hatred. At that moment, I saw that his eyes had reddened. He pulled out his dual blades and stabbed them towards my chest.
Alright, you want my life, so I can't be polite with you!
Thinking of this, I immediately took out my Lightning Strike Thousand Year Dark Wood Sword and infused my Spiritual Energy into it. Several currents of electricity immediately surged out from the wooden sword.
In the blink of an eye, I had already exchanged a few blows with Li Youjie. Perhaps it was because I had swallowed the dragon core, but my dantian was filled with spirit energy, and the Zizhu Sword was filled with boundless lightning. The moment Li Youjie's twin blades touched my Zizhi Sword, they were immediately burnt by the boundless lightning aura.
While I was fighting with Li Renjie, the people who were originally eating fish in a good mood were also fighting with each other. They hugged each other and rolled around on the ground while tightly grabbing onto each other's necks.
It was unknown when the seed of fury and hatred was planted, but it was immediately ignited.
The group of people who were originally comrades and friends became mortal enemies in an instant, wanting to kill them as soon as possible.
Just when I kicked Li You Jie away and was about to stab Li You Jie in the chest with the jujube wood sword, my chest suddenly hurt. It hurt so much that my feet went soft and I immediately knelt on the ground.
After that, my mind buzzed and my blood started to boil. This situation lasted for three to five seconds before my mind cleared up once again.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw the people fighting on the ground, and the faces filled with hatred, as if they understood something.
It shouldn't be, just for the sake of eating a fish, so why kill the other party?
I think we've been bewitched or poisoned.
Yes, it must be because of the fish we are eating. There must be something wrong with them!
Thinking of this, I was immediately startled.
