Chapter 204 Liu Qingqing Seeking Death

"That's right, we must capture them! I'm going to make sure they die without a burial place!" Immediately afterwards, the woman, still covering her face with her hands, began to roar at the top of her lungs. She was flanked by several guards and maids.

Speaking of which, they could only blame themselves. After confirming that Gu Yunzhou and the others had left, they finally figured out how to make the raft after some experimentation. So, they copied Gu Yunzhou's method, meticulously imitating it.

Because of Wu Ke's experience last time, Yang Fan didn't ask the others to act as pioneers this time. After a brief exploration, the few of them swarmed onto the raft.

At first, everything went smoothly. Liu Qingqing even boasted that this stage was a piece of cake. She vowed that once she successfully reached the shore, she would find Gu Yunzhou and the others and teach them a lesson.

After all, these guys not only did not obediently reveal the manufacturing method of the raft, but also dared to disobey the instructions given by them. What's more hateful is that they actually passed this level first. However, before these people could be happy for too long, a terrible nightmare quietly fell.

Just as they stepped onto the lakeshore, Liu Qingqing caught a glimpse of the red-bellied fish in the center of the lake. A surge of nameless anger suddenly surged in her heart, and old and new grudges surfaced. Her eyes rolled, and she quickly pulled a fire talisman from her sleeve.

You know, this fire talisman is nothing ordinary. It was a precious cultural treasure bestowed upon her by a highly respected elder in her family before she participated in this trial. It was used to protect her life! This fire talisman was meticulously crafted by the fourth-rank scholar in her family, who expended a great deal of his own literary energy and skillfully incorporated a unique flame. It can be said to be a powerful and lethal magical weapon.

However, Liu Qingqing was so blinded by anger that she completely disregarded the preciousness and rarity of the Fire Talisman. The Red Snake Fish had caused her such a miserable escape, and more importantly, she had completely lost face in front of the person she loved. So, without hesitation, she took out the Fire Talisman, determined to use it to exact revenge.

But she wasn't stupid. She knew clearly that the red snakehead fish fed on spiritual energy. Ordinary attacks were like scratching an itch against this strange creature, completely ineffective.

After careful consideration, a sinister and cunning plan gradually took shape in her mind. She immediately set to work! She carefully placed an already activated fire talisman in the center of the raft, then quickly and expertly scattered numerous swaying stones across the entire raft.

You should know that although these rocks themselves do not contain any cultural aura, they have a very prominent characteristic: they are extremely easy to ignite. Generally speaking, people use these stones as tools for making fire, or they are precious items that ordinary people use to keep warm in the cold winter.

When everything was ready, she heard a dull "bang" and kicked the raft hard, sending it plummeting into the lake. Because the raft was covered with rocks, as it continued to float and sway in the water, the rocks rubbed against each other violently, and soon a raging fire was ignited.

At the same time, she gently waved her arm, and in an instant, a vast and majestic aura surged toward the raft like a surging tide. Attracted by this aura, countless red-bellied fish, as if possessed, scrambled to rise high from the calm waters, one after another, leaping onto the blazing raft.

At this time, Liu Qingqing had a smug smile on her face. She waved her jade hand again, instantly activating the faint literary energy that had been reserved on the fire talisman.

In an instant, the already raging raft seemed to be doused in a bucket of hot oil, the flames suddenly becoming incredibly intense and dazzling. Countless red snapper fish were instantly engulfed in the blazing flames, tightly wrapped within them. In the blink of an eye, the air was filled with the pungent, rich smell of burning fish.

These red-bellied fish had always relied on Wen Qi as their food source, but the situation was different now. On the one hand, a large number of swaying stones were ignited by the raging flames; on the other hand, the power unleashed by the fire talisman was truly astonishing. Under normal circumstances, even facing a tidal wave of red-bellied fish, they would simply swarm over and extinguish the flames in no time.

However, the situation at this moment was far from a simple one plus one. Furthermore, the number of red snapper fish that could successfully leap onto the raft was limited. So, amidst Liu Qingqing's triumphant laughter, the raft, silently carrying countless red snapper fish, was burned to a pitch-black charcoal.

"Haha, you damned stinky fish! Now let's see if you dare to chase me again!" Liu Qingqing was undoubtedly in a state of extreme joy. She looked at the dozens of red snakehead carcasses floating on the surface of the lake with great joy. She no longer felt any regret for having just used up the precious fire talisman. Instead, she felt a sense of exhilaration.

But just as she was basking in this elation, a sharp, piercing pain shot through her calf. Instantly, a sense of foreboding washed over her like a surging tide. Reflexively, she glanced around and saw that she and her companions were still standing firmly on the shore. Then, looking down, she saw several red snapper fish frantically biting at her calf.

A scream pierced the air, and Liu Qingqing, like a frightened rabbit, twisted her body frantically, struggling desperately. In her panic, she completely lost her mind and, recklessly, unleashed her every skill, attacking the red-bellied fish that held onto her leg. At the same time, like an arrow from a bow, she bolted towards what she believed to be the lakeshore.

However, as she sprinted, a strange feeling washed over her. She suddenly realized that the ground beneath her feet wasn't solid ground, but rather a piercingly cold lake. It had all happened so quickly, the entire incident having passed in a fraction of a second. Yang Fan and the others nearby, upon hearing the screams, snapped to their senses, realizing the situation was dire. They cast aside all other thoughts, quickly channeling their inner spiritual energy and carefully observing their surroundings.
