Chapter 50: Getting Stronger, Lip Reading
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Early in the morning, the electric eel clone slowly woke up in the cave.
Before he could open his eyes, the clone opened his mouth and bit forward. A Sabertooth Viperfish that had been electrocuted to the point of crispness was bitten and swallowed.
The electric eel clone chewed in satisfaction. Pieces of minced meat turned into energy and spread throughout the body. At the same time, half of the energy was fed back to Chu Lingjun’s body, strengthening his vitality.
After eating a Sabertooth Viperfish, the electric eel clone plummeted a school of Sabertooth Viperfish for a while and found a silver-white fish that looked like a knife.
The Blade Fish was widely known as a delicacy in the Lanjiang River.
The electric eel clone’s eyes lit up slightly, and it swallowed the Blade Fish whole.
Compared to the experience points and energy provided by the Sabertooth Viperfish, this small Blade Fish was incomparable.
However, it had eaten too many Sabertooth Viperfish recently, and the electric eel was starting to get bored. It needed to change its taste.
There were less than 100 Sabertooth Viperfish left in the river bay. They were all frightened by the slightest movement. They were no longer as majestic as before.
“I wonder what the other three taste like?”
“Let’s find a chance to try the Iron-Backed Golden Turtle.”
Among the Four River Tyrants, the River Turning Rat and the Copper-Headed Crocodile King were the strongest, followed by the Iron-Backed Golden Turtle and the Sabertooth Viperfish.
Chu Lingjun estimated that the electric eel clone had to advance to Rank Two before it could deal with the River-Turning Rat and the Copper-Headed Crocodile King.
“Hmm?”
Just as the electric eel was enjoying its delicious breakfast, it suddenly turned its head and looked in the direction of the shore.
Someone was coming!
Chu Lingjun was also jolted awake. He used his clone’s perspective to look at the shore.
When he saw who it was, Chu Lingjun frowned!
The person was about 18 or 19 years old. He had a short buzz cut and dark skin. There was a strong fluctuation of essence on his body. He was fit.
This was a Middle Stage Rank Two martial artist!
Of course, the most important thing was that Chu Lingjun knew this person.
This person was a student from Quicksand High School, Wu Zheng from Year Three Class Nine.
Chu Lingjun knew him because Wu Zheng was ranked in the top ten among the third-year students.
As his strength increased, he started searching for stronger seniors in year three to test his skills.
Experts were just so lonely!
Wu Zheng had already come here several times.
At first, Chu Lingjun didn’t understand why he came here so often. However, he only understood after he did a background check.
The transport ship that the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce had sunk into
As the ship sank to the bottom of the river, the dozens of crew members on the ship also sacrificed themselves to keep the ship afloat.
Wu Zheng looked at the flowing river with a sad expression. His eyes were red and his fists were clenched tightly.
His eyes were fixed on the roaring river as if he wanted to jump in and salvage his father’s remains. He wanted to see his father one last time.
In the end, his rationality restrained his impulse. He stood by the river and let out a long cry in pain before quickly turning around and leaving.
Chu Lingjun subconsciously looked at the two people hiding on the tree crown.
Sure enough, the two of them were awakened by Wu Zheng’s long howl. The two of them cursed and vented their anger.
Chu Lingjun looked at their lips. After a week of studying and observing, Chu Lingjun could already read some of their lips.
“F*cking Wu Zheng again. This brat keeps scaring me so early in the morning!”
“If it wasn’t for the fact that I couldn’t beat this kid, I would have killed him already. I almost fell off the tree from that scream!”
Chu Lingjun frowned when he saw these two words. Do these two people know Wu Zheng?
Chu Lingjun knew Wu Zheng because he had gone to look up information.
As for the two people in front of him… They were from the Wild Wave Company, so how did they know Wu Zheng?
Were they a friend or a relative?
Although Wu Zheng was a Middle Stage Rank Two martial artist, the two people who were only Late Stage Rank One were rather disdainful…
Chu Lingjun continued to read their lips.
After the two of them cursed Wu Zheng, one of them suddenly sighed and said, “Wu, how long do we have to wait in this godforsaken place? I want to wash my feet.”
The person called Wu rolled his eyes. “There’s water below. You can take as long as you want. I’m not stopping you.”
“Wu, that’s not what I meant when I washed my feet!” The man revealed an ambiguous smile.
“Wasn’t the leader your uncle? You must know some insider information. Tell me how long we have to wait here? I’m boring myself to death here!”
These words clearly went to Wu’s heart. Clearly, he had the same feelings.
He subconsciously looked around to make sure that there was nothing strange. Then, he slowly said in a low voice, “My uncle said that we have to wait for one or two more months at most. At that time, we will be able to obtain the treasures in the sunken ship!”
“Really?”
“Why would I deliberately lie to you?”
There was something wrong with the Wild Wave Company!
Why would they be able to obtain the sunken ship in at most one or two months… Where is this confidence coming from?
There were three River-Turning Rats underwater. In addition to the geographical advantage and the countless aquatic beasts around them, even an ordinary Rank Four martial artist might not be able to overthrow them!
Fortunately, he had learned lip reading in time. Otherwise, he would have missed this message.
Chu Lingjun observed them for a while more. When he saw that the two of them were talking about hair salons and foot-washing shops, he no longer paid attention to them. He got up from bed and prepared to go to school.
Outside the living room, his parents and Chu Yue had woken up and were having breakfast.
From afar, Chu Lingjun could already smell a mouth-watering fragrance of meat. It was the meat of a mutated beast.
Moreover, it was the strange beast meat that Chu Lingjun had brought back
previously.
As expected of Taotie’s descendants, the meat of this weeping monster was much more delicious than the meat of mutated beasts of the same level.
Chu Lingjun smiled. It seemed that his mother had already agreed to his plan and had begun to implement it..
