Chapter 238 Fish, the seafood market welcomes you~

An hour later, all the workers had left.

Jiang Yuan was the only one left in the entire basement.

He squatted quietly at the edge of the abyss, looking to the bottom.

Jiang Yuan's heart was beating fast, and it felt like there was something blocking his chest, making him feel irritated.

Another half an hour later, the big bird flew back alone.

When Jiang Yuan saw the empty space on the bird's back, his heart sank!

Lin Tiange landed on the ground and turned back into a human. He wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Master, I have searched the entire abyss, but there is nothing but stones and blades. I didn't even see the shadow of a living creature."

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and handed a tissue to Lin Tiange.

"Thank you, it's okay."

Jiang Yuan still had a faint smile on her face, but the next second after she turned around, tears rolled down her eyes and a layer of deathly gray covered her eyes.

Lin Tiange wiped the sweat off his forehead and followed Jiang Yuan, comforting her: "The octopus may not be dead. Maybe it escaped. Master, don't feel too bad."

Jiang Yuan didn't say anything, but quickened his pace. After a while, he left Lin Tiange behind and ran to the corner alone to ask the system.

"Second Escort, can you help me check Qi Yanxing's situation and location?"

Second dart: [Drop——]

[The system shows that the villain is still underground in the abyss. ]

[Status: Sleeping. ]

[Host, don’t worry~]

Jiang Yuan's eyes were startled, and when he raised them again, there was a glimmer of light.

"Are you serious?"

[Yes, my side shows that the villain is having a nightmare and hasn't woken up yet. ]

[But I have to remind the host that the abyss is too dangerous. Don't jump into it in your eagerness to save people! ]

Jiang Yuan wouldn't jump in by himself.

Lin Tiange didn't find Qi Yanxing just now. Jiang Yuan guessed that it was because there were too many rubble and blades piled at the bottom of the abyss, and Qi Yanxing was very likely smashed by the rubble and buried at the bottom of the abyss.

The octopus' body is relatively flexible and can survive well in any corner or space.

Qi Yanxing himself said that after turning evil, his body became stronger and he could not die.

Jiang Yuan certainly wouldn't be so foolish as to jump in and become a burden, but he could use money to hire help.

In this world where humans and monsters coexist, monsters also love money.

As long as you have money, there is nothing you can't do.

That day, Jiang Yuan followed the map and went to the Niao family compound in Xiacheng.

A group of baby birds were chirping and playing wildly in the yard. When they saw a stranger coming, they turned into sparrows and flew up the trees to hide.

Jiang Yuan went directly to the bird tribe leader to discuss the matter.

When the bird tribe leader heard that the round trip would require a height of meters, he quickly waved his hand to refuse.

"No, no, no, no, flying is one thing, carrying stones is another. Besides, the octopus we rescued may not be alive. It's a waste of time."

"The octopus must be alive! If the money is not enough, I can give you more money!" Jiang Yuan hurriedly took out a bag of gold from the system backpack.

This gold was originally reserved for Erbiao to build a house. Now Erbiao didn't use much of it, so Jiang Yuan just took it out to deal with the emergency.

"Well, I'll hire you for 100 gold coins."

After hearing that the price had increased tenfold, the bird tribe leader's eyes immediately lit up!

"How many?!"

"100 gold coins."

The bird tribe leader hurriedly counted with his fingers.

One gold coin is worth ten thousand, and one hundred gold coins are worth one million. If they can successfully take this order, wouldn’t their bird tribe be able to just lie back and live their lives in peace!

"Take it! Take it immediately! All the big birds will be dispatched collectively at night!"

The chief of the bird tribe was wise. He called the crow's house, the pigeon's house, the sparrow's house... all that night.

And they hired these birds with very little salary to follow their family to rescue people at the bottom of the abyss!

Crow: "Ten thousand is too much. We are the same kind. Eight thousand will be enough as a token of our appreciation."

Pigeon: "No need to pay, just grind 100 kilograms of rice and send it to our house when the grain is harvested in the fall."

Sparrow: "Please give us 100 catties of millet instead. It hurts our feelings to mention money."

The bird tribe leader nodded with a smile, "Okay, after you rescue my friend, I'll treat everyone to an extra week's worth of whole grains!"

That night, thousands of birds flew towards the basement and swarmed into the abyss!

At the same time, the octopus pressed at the bottom of the abyss had its tentacles cut by the knife. It half-closed its eyes and looked listless.

Qi Yanxing just ate poisonous mushrooms and took a nap. When he woke up, the entire bottom of the abyss became a horrible sight.

Was it Jiang Yuan who did this...

A voice in his head asked subconsciously for him.

Qi Yanxing immediately denied it: "No!"

"Since my brother is willing to jump into the abyss for me, he must not want to see me die."

Qi Yanxing knew very well that there were many people in this world who wanted him dead.

He was born to be a nuisance.

But this person definitely cannot be Jiang Yuan!

It is still unclear who wants him dead, Qi Yanxing only knows that he must get out alive.

Soon, he will shrink his body into a small one, and his tentacles will speed up to dig the underground river in the abyss, and be washed away along the turbulent water.

He had known about this underground river at the bottom of the abyss for a long time.

It’s not suitable for Jiang Yuan, but it’s suitable for a semi-aquatic mutant monster like him.

The water was very cold. The octopus closed its eyes and placed its tentacles peacefully in the water, being washed by the current.

I don’t know how long it took, after turning many corners, when Qi Yanxing opened his eyes again, his body was already floating on the sea.

The entire sea was boundless. Qi Yanxing looked towards the city on the coast. The integrated white buildings here were completely unfamiliar to him.

When the seagulls attacked him, he suddenly dived into the seabed!

A fishing boat approached him, and Qi Yanxing immediately swam over, wanting to take the boat ashore.

Unfortunately, the people on the boat threw a large net at him!

The net was very dense, and there was a "sizzling" sound of electric current!

Qi Yanxing's mini octopus body was not aggressive at all, and because he was injured at the bottom of the abyss, he was quickly electrocuted and knocked unconscious.

When Qi Yanxing woke up again, he found himself in the seafood market!

At this moment he was loading it into a bamboo basket of a merchant.

Inside the bamboo basket were soft octopuses of all sizes, just like him.

Many octopuses were spitting ink angrily and cursing humans!
