Chapter 90 – Don’t move! (2/2)

They had been patrolling for almost half a day, but nothing had happened besides those river snails swimming to the shore. Nothing else was worth noticing. That day, Shao Xuan delivered many river snails to the kids in the orphan cave and Old Ke when he went back. He would not be able to eat them all anyway. Caesar was not fond of them. Chacha was quite curious, but only for a while. All he cared about was to pull its flesh out of its shell for fun.

On the third day of Shao Xuan’s patrolling, the first fish fence finally got completely submerged in the water. The first fish fence was not big, and the diameter was only about two meters. When they finished building it, both Shao Xuan and Lang Ga felt that it was a little small. But instead of rebuilding it, they let it be, and deliberately made the second fish fence much larger. Because of that, when the the first fish fence submerged completely, the second one only had part of it submerged in the water, as it was almost parallel with the first one.

“How is it?” Lang Ga tossed one river snail into his straw net, and shouted at Shao Xuan.

Shao Xuan stood next to the first fish fence, and carefully looked inside.

There was no fish….

Moreover, there was no activity to be spotted of the piranhas with giant heads and sharp teeth in the surroundings. In fact, there was no fish at all to be seen. It seemed that all the fish had vanished.

Oddly, in such a rainy season, no fish could be seen!

So, did that mean that the fish fences were made in vain?

No, they could see what the other things were in the river, besides the fish.

Just keep them. Shao Xuan looked at the fish fence beneath his feet, and decided to leave the fish fences as they were for now, and take them down when the tide ebbs. Anyway, they were no obstacles for the patrol.

“There’s nothing!” Shao Xuan answered.

As he was about to head back to the land, Shao Xuan suddenly felt a chill sweeping through his back.

There was something dangerous!

When he was about to jump away from the fish fence and head towards the bank, he heard Lang Ga’s urgent scream.

“Don’t move! No matter what! Do not move!”

Move, or don’t move? Those two options flashed in Shao Xuan’s mind quickly. In the end, he chose to do as Lang Ga commanded, which was standing there still.

Although Shao Xuan did not move, all the muscles on his body were well prepared. Once something went south, he would act on his instinct, his hand had almost reached the stone knife earlier.

Over there, Lang Ga had no mood for collecting river snails, and he was running towards Shao Xuan together with the others. While running, he tossed the river snail he was holding towards a spot about thirty meters away from where Shao Xuan was.

Shao Xuan could hear the river snail dropping into the water. But the needle-like glare was still there. Shao Xuan stood there still, remaining at where he was, rock steady.

If he looked up, he could see where the icy glare came from. But at that moment, Shao Xuan held his curiosity back, and did not look around.

Somewhere not far away from Shao Xuan, don’t know since when, a triangular head had appeared above the water silently. On the head, there were a pair of puffy, beady eyes.

At that time, a not so big sound came from the water ahead. It was not obvious in the sounds of the rain, but Shao Xuan heard it clearly.

“Ribbit!”

Shao Xuan: “……”

What the fuck!
