"Alright, how long are you going to keep doing that?"
Lin Fan gently pushed Li Yurou away, seeing that no one was paying attention to him.
"You dare to say that, my hands are swollen."
Li Yurou tearfully held up her red, swollen small hands.
"It's nothing, I'll rub it for you, it'll be effective in a few minutes."
Lin Fan took Li Yurou's fair and tender little hands and used his spiritual energy to promote blood circulation and remove stagnation.
The warm, tingling sensation made Li Yurou very comfortable.
The search continued until past eight in the evening.
Twenty staff members from the rafting center, plus those who came to help upon hearing the news, numbered seventy to eighty people in total.
Everyone ran back and forth along the narrow waterway, but no one could find Zheng Yue's figure.
Lin Fan saw many people who looked like leaders discussing with Li Yusheng, sometimes arguing fiercely, and sometimes shaking their heads and sighing together.
He knew his plan was close to success.
The black fish spirit had been lurking underwater, observing the movements on the shore, only sinking for a while to hide its tracks when a lifeboat passed by.
Lin Fan sneered, noticing Li Yurou beside him shivering from the cold wind. He thoughtfully took off his jacket and handed it to her.
"Here you go."
"Oh, thank you."
Li Yurou took the jacket without hesitation and put it on.
The moment she put on the thick jacket, still warm with his body heat, she finally felt a long-lost warmth and stopped trembling.
"Brother Lin, it's done."
Li Yusheng quickly walked over.
Lin Fan quickly moved aside.
This guy would start staring at him like he was guarding against a thief as soon as he got a little closer to Li Yurou.
"What did they say?"
Lin Fan rubbed his hands.
Li Yusheng glanced at the jacket on his sister and paused. Suppressing his displeasure, he said in a low voice, "They don't want this to blow up either, but we only have one day. If the person isn't found, the municipal bureau will take over."
"A life is at stake, it's not a small matter. We can only do so much."
Lin Fan frowned.
One day is a bit short.
If the black fish spirit hid underwater like a turtle, they would truly be helpless.
"Let's leave it at that for now."
Lin Fan had no better solution.
Before long, the people from the rafting center were temporarily evacuated.
The employees took the one thousand yuan per person given by Li Yusheng, closed the gate, and discussed where to go for their holiday the next day.
"Director Li, we'll leave this to you."
"By four o'clock tomorrow at the latest, you must start the procedures, otherwise I won't be able to report back."
A man with a stern face walked over and instructed.
Li Yusheng nodded, "Thank you, Captain Qi. If Miss Wu is found, the Zheng family will reward you handsomely."
"No need, I'll be retiring in a few years. Just try not to cause any major trouble."
Captain Qi waved his hand, sighed, and turned to leave.
Only Lin Fan and his group remained in the vast Qinghe Reservoir.
A moment later, a beam of car headlights illuminated the night.
Zheng Ke drove a white truck and stopped nearby.
"Master Li, Master Lin, I've brought what you asked for."
His eyes were bloodshot, and fatigue was evident in his brow.
Lin Fan patted his shoulder, "You've worked hard."
"It's what I should do."
Zheng Ke smiled slightly.
Boom!
Just as Lin Fan was about to say something, a sudden explosion came from the water.
A terrifying black fish, like a prehistoric beast, opened its large mouth, revealing two rows of sharp teeth.
"You ignorant fools, Old Hei will take your lives today!"
Bang bang bang...
Behind it, one after another, much smaller fish and their offspring leaped out of the water, their faces ferocious as they stared at Lin Fan and the others.
Lin Fan raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Everyone retreat! Wang Xiaoli, it's up to you."
Li Yusheng pulled his sister and fled at top speed.
Zheng Ke had thought that even if he wasn't as good as Lin Fan or Meng Wang, he was still one of the rare experts in the world after experiencing hellish training.
Unexpectedly, when faced with a group of terrifying monsters flying through the air, shaking their heads and wagging their tails, he was dumbfounded and even forgot to flee. xxs1
"What are you waiting for? Go!"
At the critical moment, Lin Fan pushed him hard.
Zheng Ke came to his senses and fled, stumbling.
After running a few steps, he heard a strange sound from beside him.
He turned his head and almost had a heart attack.
A giant snake, too large to describe, with two glowing green eyes emitting a cold glint, coiled its body and rapidly approached the shore.
"Roar~"
A thunderous roar came from the snake's mouth.
The next second, the black fish in mid-air suddenly fell down with crackling sounds. The ones in the front smashed directly onto the rocks with dull thuds.
The black fish spirit at the forefront looked back, panicked, as if it couldn't believe its eyes.
"You broke my Great Rain Spell?"
The black fish spirit glared fiercely at Wang Xiaoli, who was coiled into a mountain-like shape.
"Do you think you're the only one who knows magic?" Wang Xiaoli said triumphantly.
"You're just relying on the inner dan of aćéž, what are you so proud of? Today I will gut you and send you to the netherworld. Don't forget my name, Old Hei!"
Fearing the loss of its offspring, the black fish spirit cast the Great Rain Spell again, intending to send the less capable ones back into the water.
"Roar~"
Wang Xiaoli let out another roar.
Immediately, the misty rain that the black fish spirit had just condensed disappeared like a popped bubble.
"Bitch, I'll deal with you first!"
Seeing this, the black fish spirit no longer cared about the lives of its offspring and charged fiercely at Wang Xiaoli.
Bang bang bang...
A series of glass shattering sounds echoed, and flames soared into the sky.
Lin Fan, holding Molotov cocktails made from beer bottles filled with gasoline, accurately and swiftly hurled them at the black fish that were immobile on the shore.
A scent of roasted meat filled the air. The giant black fish screamed and thrashed its tail, trying to get back into the water.
However, the subsequent Molotov cocktails expanded the flames, forming a wall of fire that blocked their escape route.
"This pains me so much!"
"King, save me!"
"I will eat you!"
The black fish spirit was fighting fiercely with Wang Xiaoli. The huge rocks, weighing several tons, were affected by the battle between the two demons and shattered into pieces.
Hearing the screams of its offspring, the black fish spirit was furious.
"How dare you harm my children!"
It dodged Wang Xiaoli's entanglement and roared, intending to go after Lin Fan.
"Your opponent is me!"
In a flash, a snake head the size of a car blocked its path.
Thick venom sprayed towards it.
The black fish spirit knew how potent this venom was and had to dodge.
Then Wang Xiaoli caught up, and the two demons resumed their fierce battle.
"Master Lin, I'll help you."
Lin Fan was swamped with work when a shout came from beside him.
Zheng Ke, holding Molotov cocktails in both hands, threw them with all his might at the charging black fish.
"Didn't you leave?"
Lin Fan sighed in relief, finally feeling a little less pressure.
"I can help you."
Zheng Ke continued to throw Molotov cocktails with unwavering determination.
"Good, let's roast a whole fish together," Lin Fan said with a smile.
