Chapter 902: The Responsibility of the Water God
Zhang Meng announced loudly in the village square. Although the villagers were used to his "enthusiasm", the content of this time made everyone more curious.
"What exactly is your responsibility as the water god?" Qin Feng leaned against a tree, a smile on his face, "Do you have to pay every fish in the water?"
"Paying salaries? That's a good idea! I can set up an underwater bank!" Zhang Meng said excitedly.
"Underwater bank? Will all the deposits be flooded?" Qin Feng couldn't help laughing.
"Well, it seems that this idea is not very reliable." Zhang Meng shrugged, still full of expectations in his heart, "However, I really have to take on the responsibility of protecting the village!"
The village chief came over and patted Zhang Meng on the shoulder. "Xiao Zhang, the responsibility of the water god is not only to protect the water area, there is more you need to do."
"Yes, I heard that the Water God needs to manage the entire water system, solve flood problems, and maintain the water ecology." Qin Feng added.
"That's right! Moreover, you also need to establish connections with other gods." The village chief said solemnly.
"Establish contact? Then I have to find a time to go to the Water God Building to say hello!" Zhang Meng joked.
"Haha, is there water in the Water God Building?" Qin Feng laughed.
"Of course there is. Water gods all need a place to swim!" Zhang Meng said seriously.
The village chief couldn't help laughing at their joke. "But actually, you need to visit the gods of other water bodies and learn their management methods."
"I understand. I will arrange a visit as soon as possible!" Zhang Meng nodded. "Any other tasks?"
"Remember to keep in touch with the villagers at all times and listen to their opinions," the village chief reminded.
"Okay, I will hold a 'Water God Hearing' and everyone is welcome to offer valuable suggestions!" Zhang Meng intended to make a joke, but the villagers began to nod in support.
"What a good idea! I can bring my fruit salad!" suggested a villager.
"My boiled fish is also good!" another villager added excitedly.
"Wait, the focus of the hearing is my responsibility as the Water God, not your boiled fish!" Zhang Meng said helplessly.
"But the water god must have a good meal!" the villagers retorted in unison.
"Okay, I can consider giving you a spot for your boiled fish." Zhang Meng smiled helplessly.
While they were discussing, the Water Spirit suddenly appeared with a smile on his face. "Zhang Meng, are you ready for your first mission?"
"Water Spirit, I'm ready! Please tell me what my first mission is!" Zhang Meng looked expectant.
"You need to go to the lake outside the village. A strange aquatic plant has appeared there recently, affecting the ecology of the lake." said the water elf.
"Strange water plants? Is it something that looks like seaweed?" Qin Feng interrupted.
"Yes, but they are poisonous and will affect aquatic creatures." The water elf said seriously.
"It doesn't sound good. We have to solve it as soon as possible!" Zhang Meng said, "I'll go now!"
"I'm going too! I don't want to miss this adventure." Qin Feng said excitedly.
"Then let's go together!" Zhang Meng said, his heart full of anticipation for the new task.
The two of them walked towards the lake, and villagers along the way greeted them.
"Water God, come on! We are waiting for good news from you!" a child shouted.
"Yes, the water god will protect us!" another villager echoed.
Zhang Meng's heart was filled with a sense of responsibility. The faster he walked, the more fun he found it. "I didn't expect that I would have so much support after becoming the Water God!"
When they got to the lake, they saw the strange water plants, which were a strange purple color and looked smooth and shiny.
"This is really strange water plant!" Zhang Meng widened his eyes.
"It doesn't look friendly." Qin Feng approached cautiously, "We have to be careful."
"Let me try this water plant!" Zhang Meng plucked up his courage and reached out to touch it.
"Wait, be careful, it's poisonous!" Qin Feng reminded hurriedly, but it was too late.
"It's okay, I just want to touch it..." Zhang Meng said, and as soon as his fingers touched the water plants, he felt a tingling pain.
"Ah! This thing is really poisonous!" he exclaimed.
"That's what I told you! Back off!" Qin Feng pulled Zhang Meng back.
"I have to find a way to get rid of it!" Zhang Meng thought to himself.
"How about we ask the water spirit for help?" Qin Feng suggested.
"Good idea! Water Spirit, come and help!" Zhang Meng shouted.
The water spirit responded and said with a smile, "What's the problem?"
"These water plants are poisonous. What should we do?" Zhang Meng pointed at the water plants, his heart full of worry.
"I'll take care of it!" the water elf said softly, and with a wave of his hand, the water surface rippled, and a warm stream of water gushed out, surrounding the water plants.
"Wow, this is amazing!" Zhang Meng exclaimed.
The water spirit chanted a spell softly, and the water flowed around the water plants. After a moment, the purple water plants turned into a ball of foam and disappeared into the water.
"Awesome! Water Elf, you are so awesome!" Qin Feng exclaimed sincerely.
"It's just a small matter. Protecting the water area is my responsibility." The water elf smiled slightly.
"So what should we do next?" Zhang Meng asked.
"You need to go deeper into the lake and check if there are other poisonous aquatic plants." said the water elf.
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Zhang Meng jumped into the water with a sense of responsibility in his heart.
"I'll follow you!" Qin Feng followed closely and dived into the water.
Underwater, light cast mottled shadows through the water surface. Zhang Meng and Qin Feng continued to swim towards the depths of the lake.
"The aquatic plants here look very healthy," Zhang Meng said with relief.
"Yes, it seems that the problem lies in the area near the lake." Qin Feng replied.
Just as they went deeper into the lake, several huge water snakes suddenly emerged from beneath the water surface, swimming at an extremely fast speed with a ferocious aura.
"What is this?" Zhang Meng's heart tightened.
"Water snakes! They seem to be affected by the poisonous water plants!" Qin Feng shouted.
"We have to be careful and don't let them get close!" Zhang Meng swam to the side quickly.
The water snakes were hostile to their presence and swam towards them. Zhang Meng and Qin Feng quickly turned around and tried to escape.
"Water spirit, help us quickly!" Zhang Meng shouted, feeling anxious.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you!" The water elf exerted its power above to form a water barrier.
"Hurry! Swim to the edge of the current!" Qin Feng shouted, trying to guide Zhang Meng.
"I understand. I'll try to go faster!" Zhang Meng concentrated his attention and swam towards the edge of the water.
At this moment, a water snake suddenly pounced towards him, and Zhang Meng subconsciously turned over to avoid it.
"Wow! I almost got bitten!" he exclaimed.
"Hurry! Get into the water barrier!" Qin Feng urged.
They swam quickly into the water barrier, and the water snakes kept hovering outside the barrier, as if their way was blocked.
"Great, we are safe!" Zhang Meng breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still feeling a lingering fear.
"This water snake has become extremely ferocious due to the poisonous water plants!" The water spirit said seriously, "We need to find a solution as soon as possible."
"How should I solve this problem?" Zhang Meng asked anxiously.
"You need to use the power of water to create a current that can purify them." The water spirit guided.
"I understand. I'll try!" Zhang Meng tried hard to concentrate and summon the power of water.
"Water flow, please listen to my command and purify all filth!" Zhang Meng used all his strength and said silently in his heart.
The water began to swirl around him, gradually forming a gentle light that rushed straight towards the water snakes.
"This is the power of purification!" The water elf nodded in appreciation.
The light quickly surrounded the water snakes. Feeling the baptism of power, the water snakes instantly became quiet, as if they had regained peace.
