"Are you questioning my abilities!" Di Ting raised its head with arrogance.
Chen Nan plastered on a smile and said, "Brother Bai is right, it's my fault, little brother. I will absolutely not make similar mistakes again!"
"Please, Brother Bai, enlighten me. How can I obtain a ten-thousand-year-old Naihe fish?"
Di Ting said concisely, "Drain the water!"
Chen Nan's right mouth twitched uncontrollably, as if electrocuted.
He really wanted to chop off this guy's dog head.
And then have a dog meat hot pot.
Drain the water?
Where to drain it?
What to use to drain it?
Don't you think this is funny?
Di Ting saw Chen Nan's displeasure, but it felt very pleased. It continued, "To obtain Naihe fish, you can inquire at the western village."
"Ten miles to the west is Hexi Village. They should have a way to capture Naihe fish."
Chen Nan sighed, "At this point, this is the only way!"
He had previously released his spatial domain.
He wanted to sense if there were any Naihe fish in the river.
Regrettably.
The water of the Naihe River could block his spatial domain.
Even he didn't know the situation underwater.
Afterward, the two men and a dog arrived at the village called Hexi Village, ten miles to the west.
The village was not large.
It only had a few dozen households.
It was a very poor place.
There were earth houses and wooden houses everywhere.
The villagers were sallow and emaciated.
They wore coarse cloth.
Their skin was dark.
They gave off a feeling of malnutrition.
Seeing outsiders appear in the village.
They all looked at them with vigilance and kept their distance.
The dogs in the village, upon seeing Di Ting, were scared and scurried back into their kennels, whimpering.
This was an absolute suppression from their bloodline.
Even though Di Ting had not yet fully grown, it was still the number one divine beast of the Underworld.
Seeing the villagers' vigilant gazes, Guo Yu whispered, "Big Brother, if I'm not mistaken, very few people have ever come to this village."
Chen Nan grunted and then asked an elderly man, "Elder, please, where is your village head?"
Regarding how to catch Naihe fish.
He still had to ask the venerable village chief.
Seeing the elder's unease, Chen Nan immediately took out his Yin Messenger token: "Elder, I am a Yin Messenger, not a bad person. You don't need to be nervous."
Upon learning that Chen Nan was a Yin Messenger, the elderly man quickly bowed and said, "Sir, follow the street to the west end of the village. There is a stone-built house there. That is the home of our Hexi Village's head."
As soon as he finished speaking, a disheveled, sixty-something elder rushed over in a panic and bowed deeply to Chen Nan: "This old man, Ren Hongfu, the head of Hexi Village, greets the Yin Messenger, sir."
The village was not large.
Let alone two outsiders and a dog.
Even a mouse running into the village would be known instantly.
Chen Nan said, "Elder, there's no need for such formality. I've come to inquire about something."
"I'd like to know, do you know how to capture Naihe fish?"
Ren Hongfu respectfully replied, "Replying to you, sir, the fish in the Naihe River are easily captured."
"Just dig a trench a few hundred meters from the riverbank during high tide."
"When the tide recedes, there will be stranded fish there."
"Uh, this old man has two Naihe fish at home."
"If you don't find them unworthy, sir, I'll have someone cook them for you as a side dish with your drinks."
Chen Nan added, "Elder, I want Naihe fish that are ten thousand years or older."
Ren Hongfu's expression froze, and then he said, "Sir, Naihe fish that have lived for ten thousand years are legends."
"Even though our village chief lives only a dozen miles from the Naihe River."
"He has never seen a thousand-year-old Naihe fish."
"Let alone a ten-thousand-year-old Naihe fish."
"Because a ten-thousand-year-old Naihe fish has already gained sentience."
"They would absolutely not come to the shore."
Chen Nan was somewhat unwilling, "Is there really no way to capture a Naihe fish?"
He had already collected the ten-thousand-year-old Shore Flower.
And the ten-thousand-year-old Dragon-Coiled Ginseng.
Only the ten-thousand-year-old Naihe fish remained.
If he couldn't find it.
It would be the biggest regret of his life.
Ren Hongfu thought for a moment and said, "When I was young, I heard my grandfather tell a legend about a White Spirit Snake on Snake Mountain."
"That snake is pure white. Using it as bait can catch Naihe fish over a hundred years old."
"Snake Mountain is located about two hundred miles to the south. The area is covered with snakes."
"However, the White Spirit Snake must be willing to act as bait to catch the Naihe fish."
"But that's only for Naihe fish under a hundred years old."
"Because a hundred-year-old Naihe fish is already five meters long."
"If there was a ten-thousand-year-old Naihe fish, wouldn't it be a hundred meters long?"
Chen Nan's heart leaped with joy, "Thank you, elder."
Although he hadn't found a way to capture a ten-thousand-year-old Naihe fish.
At least there was a glimmer of hope.
Ren Hongfu said uneasily, "Sir, don't be happy too soon. It is said that the snakes on Snake Mountain have become demons and transformed into human form."
"They are powerful and they also eat people."
"If you rashly climb the mountain, you will surely lose your life."
"Thank you for the reminder, elder. Even if the demons on Snake Mountain have cultivated into human form, they might not be able to do anything to me." Chen Nan's face showed a faint smile.
He now possessed a cultivation of the first level of the Transformation Realm.
Although his realm was not very strong.
He still had the absolute ability to protect himself.
Afterward, Chen Nan, Guo Yu, and Di Ting left Hexi Village.
He used his spatial domain and arrived at the foot of Snake Mountain, which Ren Hongfu had mentioned.
It was a peak about two thousand meters high.
There were no trees or vegetation on the mountain.
It was all sheet rock.
The mid-slope was shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see its full appearance.
"Big Brother, I'm a little scared!"
At the foot of the mountain.
Guo Yu looked at the colorful poisonous snakes on Snake Mountain, flicking their tongues, with terror.
Those snakes were densely coiled on Snake Mountain.
Just looking at them made one's scalp tingle.
Let alone climbing Snake Mountain.
Chen Nan patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "To become a strong individual, you must overcome all difficulties you encounter."
"Only by climbing mountains one after another."
"Can you see the beautiful scenery that cannot be seen from the ground."
"You can reach the depths of the Peach Blossom Spring."
"Where your heart desires."
Guo Yu frowned.
This statement felt a bit off!
Di Ting's voice echoed in Chen Nan's mind: "We can completely fly to the summit."
Chen Nan said, "Do you think that's polite?"
All things have spirits.
Since a great demon had appeared on Snake Mountain.
They couldn't act rashly.
Moreover, Ren Hongfu had also said.
The White Spirit Snake must be willing to act as bait to catch the Naihe fish.
Therefore.
They couldn't use force.
Looking at the dense poisonous snakes before him, Chen Nan said, "All things have spirits, especially snakes."
"As long as we don't harm them, they won't attack us!"
"Climb the mountain with confidence!"
Guo Yu swallowed nervously, "What if they bite me?"
Chen Nan forced a smile, "It's not a big problem. Even if you die of poison, Big Brother will give you a dignified funeral, and then treat everyone in your village to a feast!" With that, he stepped forward and resolutely began to walk up the mountain.
