Mortal Mirror

Over a thousand fish monsters, carrying countless corpses, sank into the water. They stretched out endlessly, following behind the large fish. Li Ergou sighed inwardly, wondering how many people they had killed this time. These detestable monsters, killing so many, he didn't know what for.

Bai Su's eyes flashed with anger as she transmitted her voice to Li Ergou, "I want to follow them and see what's going on. Do you dare to come with me?"

Although Li Ergou felt some apprehension, he didn't want to be looked down upon by Bai Su.

Moreover, this matter concerned the safety of the Fish City's residents, and from any perspective, he had a responsibility to investigate. With this thought, he couldn't help but nod, "Alright, I'll go with you."

Bai Su was slightly surprised; she hadn't expected Li Ergou to agree.

Having Li Ergou with her would be like having a helper. Without saying much, she swam forward quickly. Li Ergou had already cultivated the Turtle Breath Technique to the second level, holding his breath for half a day was a piece of cake.

Most importantly, he cultivated the Tide Technique, which was a pure water-based cultivation method. With a thought, a water-repelling shield formed, enveloping him.

With this, he wouldn't feel suffocated underwater.

Bai Su was slightly astonished and directly entered the shield. Li Ergou asked in surprise, "Don't tell me you can't do this."

Bai Su curled her lip, "What's so strange about that? I'm a sword cultivator and haven't cultivated any of the Five Elements techniques. It's only natural that I don't know how to create a water-repelling shield."

Actually, this was the first time Li Ergou had spoken to Bai Su at such close range, and the first time he had seen her so clearly. She was indeed beautiful, especially her skin, which was smooth and flawless.

After a moment of slight embarrassment, Li Ergou said, "Alright, in that case, let's hurry and catch up."

Bai Su nodded, "Don't rush. We can follow slowly behind. This fish is too strange. I suspect there might be even more powerful figures involved, perhaps a very big conspiracy."

Li Ergou couldn't help but think, 'Look at her, no wonder she can become the Deputy Chief Constable; the height of her thinking is different.' He hadn't thought of that.

Without further ado, the two quickly swam forward. This water-repelling shield was really good. Li Ergou only needed to expend some mana to make it move quickly in the water.

On the way, Li Ergou asked, "It's really strange. Are so many fish demons just popping up out of nowhere? And this ancient well, could it really lead to the Fish Dragon River?"

Bai Su said, "I specifically looked through the Fish City Chronicles. Legend says the ancient well really leads to the bottom of the Fish Dragon River, but it doesn't mention anything about fish demons.

This guy looks like he has at least a thousand years of cultivation. If that's really the case, the Fish City Chronicles shouldn't have no record of this demon.

Perhaps only we can find all the answers ourselves."

Li Ergou suddenly asked, "Did you come down here specifically to save me?"

Bai Su said with a bit of embarrassment, "I won't lie. I just came down to see what was going on. At that time, I thought you were already dead."

Li Ergou: "..."

Whatever, Li Ergou figured that Bai Su wouldn't be so kind. But, no matter what, she had saved him. This woman's personality was too straightforward; couldn't she lie a little? Wouldn't he be grateful then?

Now, the favor is halved.

The two followed behind the fish monsters without saying a word, remaining silent.

What Li Ergou found strange was that this underground water cave was incredibly deep. They swam for a long time without seeing the end. Fortunately, just when Li Ergou was feeling extremely anxious, water currents suddenly drifted from ahead.

Li Ergou was excited. It seemed there was really fresh water ahead. In that case, wouldn't they be arriving at the Fish Dragon River?

However, to Li Ergou's disappointment, the fish monsters suddenly stopped. Only then did Li Ergou see clearly that in the dim water ahead, there was a huge building, a slightly dim palace.

The palace was very grand and tall.

Not to mention anything else, just the two gates in front of the palace were over ten zhang tall.

With a creaking sound, the two ink-black doors of the palace slowly opened.

The fish demon swam in first, followed by countless fish monsters, and the gates slowly closed.

Li Ergou was dumbfounded when he saw this scene. He looked at Bai Su and said, "What do we do? Are we still going in? That's a dragon's den and a tiger's lair. After we go in, won't we be facing certain death?"

Bai Su's beautiful eyes flashed, and she said dismissively, "Haven't you heard the saying, 'If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs?' Whether Li Ergou is a tiger or a dog depends on your choice this time."

Li Ergou was speechless, feeling that this woman was very cunning. Wasn't this just forcing him?

But how much is face worth? Li Ergou wouldn't go to his death for some damn face. But, he couldn't directly surrender, could he? He still wanted some face.

He said euphemistically, "My lady, we'll be discovered as soon as we go in looking like this, and we'll die without a doubt.

Don't be silly. We already know this place. Can't we go back and get someone? Why risk our lives?"

Bai Su said, "Although that's true, this matter concerns the life and death of the Fish City's residents. I still want to know the situation inside now. Do you... really not dare?"

Her beautiful eyes flashed as she stared intently into Li Ergou's eyes.

Li Ergou had already said it so euphemistically, but Bai Su was still so persistent, and even brought up the life and death of the Fish City's residents. He felt a little angry and said with a cold face, "My lady, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm not a tiger, I'm a dog, woof woof..."

Bai Su was dumbfounded, not expecting Li Ergou to be so stubborn and have a face as thick as a city wall.

Actually, the reason why Bai Su was so insistent at this moment was entirely because she had come here and accomplished nothing. Naturally, she felt a little down, especially in front of Meng Xiaoyu and the Chief Constable, she had no right to speak.

That's why she wanted to gain some experience through this matter, so that she would have confidence in the future. But this matter was indeed dangerous, and she had no confidence without anyone to take care of her.

After thinking for a moment, she looked at Li Ergou and couldn't help but bite her silver teeth, "Forget it, if you accompany me, whether this matter is successful or not, I will promote you by one level, making you the Second Constable.

This is a rare opportunity, you have to think clearly."

When Li Ergou heard this, his eyes lit up. He thought, 'You should have said so earlier.' He wouldn't fall for threats of righteousness, but if he could get a promotion, that was a real temptation.

To be honest, Li Ergou still had great ambitions. Patrolling the streets was certainly not what he should be doing. Old Man Man had once told him that wealth comes from danger, and he naturally had to cherish this rare opportunity.

So he nodded, "Hehe, since my lady said so, I can't refuse. For the sake of the Fish City's residents, I'll do it. But if we just go in like this, those guys will find out immediately, wouldn't that be suicide?"

Bai Su despised him inwardly, not expecting that he would violate his own principles with just a little benefit. Where's your bottom line, Li Ergou?
