Chapter 244 Lantern Patrol Time, the old friend of cause and effect arrives

When he fell to the ground, he hit a very hard and sharp stone on the shore, which made Su Mu's knee red.

Su Mu quickly stood up and looked at the ground in front of him. He saw something shiny and smooth buried in the sand.
After walking in, he squatted down, and cleaned up the sand buried on the surface, and then he could see clearly what was inside.

"shell?"

This is a very large shell, about one meter in diameter, shaped like an ordinary scallop, dark gold in color, and with dots of light flashing on the surface.

If you look closely, you can see silver fan patterns on the surface of the shell. These strange patterns don't look like they were originally there, but more like they were painted on by someone.

It felt extremely heavy in his hand. Even Su Mu would have to use both hands to lift it without relying on his spiritual power.

After looking at it carefully, Su Mu could not feel any spiritual power fluctuations from this scallop. It was exactly like an ordinary scallop, just a little bigger and a little more strange in color.

However, Su Mu patrols the river all year round looking for treasures and robbing treasures. What does he come into contact with the most?
Of course, he has the most contact with "treasures", so he has developed a pair of sharp eyes. No matter what treasure it is, it cannot escape his eyes.

Su Mu judged at a glance that this scallop was definitely not simple!
Keep it for now and study it carefully when you get home. Don't delay your work now.

It was getting dark, and Su Mu finished work and went home.

I've been very lucky these days. Those people who crossed the river a few days ago earned me a lot of favor points!
Especially later on, there was a young man who came from nowhere, probably with a little brain, and came to the river to cause trouble.

As soon as we met, he clenched his fist and rushed towards me.

Can Su Mu be spoiled?

It has been a long time since I met someone so brave. I gave him a good beating, but that guy was really tough. It took several rounds of beating before I completely convinced him and made him kneel down and beg for mercy.

In order to punish this troublemaker, Su Mu directly robbed him of all the treasures.

This robbery surprised Su Mu.

This guy is a walking vault!

The magic weapons he carried with him were almost the total number of magic weapons Su Mu had robbed in the past few months, even more, and each magic weapon was of a high level, a true gold coin kid.

After being robbed, the boy became unconvinced again and started punching and kicking Su Mu.

Can Su Mu spoil him?
He was beaten up again, just like beating up a chicken, from head to toe, and he was almost dying.

However, Su Mu still spared his life and made him sign a "sky-high debt".

In the end, the boy ran away, crawling and crying for his parents.

Although Su Mu is a principled man, he will not show any mercy to those who come to the river to cause trouble without reason. He will beat them to death and cheat them to death!
All in all, Su Mu gained a total of 300,000 favor points! !
The river affinity was directly increased to 23% at one time, which brought us one step closer to success.

Su Mu estimated that based on his current rate of earning favor points, conservatively speaking, it would take at most ten years, and definitely no more than twenty years, to completely refine this broken river.

Then leave this damn place and go to a wider place to make your mark, instead of being unhappy in this small place.

I returned home and had a simple dinner.

Nannan’s cooking skills are getting better and better, and the types of meals are different every day.

While maintaining the taste, it also ensures the original spiritual power.

Because the dinner Su Mu had was not an ordinary meal, it was all precious medicines. Every bite was a tonic and very beneficial for cultivation.

After eating and drinking, Su Mu took out the big golden shell he had picked up during the day, put it on the ground, and began to study it.

However, no matter how many methods I tried, I couldn't pry open the shell.

Because Su Mu felt that the real treasure must be hidden inside the shell.

Not only can it not be opened, but the shell of the shell is very strong, and most attack magic weapons cannot leave scars on it. However, although it is strong, Su Mu can still forcibly break it with a silver dagger if he wants to open it.

In this case, the outer shell will be completely shattered. What if there is no treasure inside, or the treasure inside loses its function because the outer shell is shattered? That would be a big loss.

So, you have to pry open the shell.

Su Mu found a treasure that looked like pliers and scissors from among the many treasures and began to pry.

After prying for more than an hour, Su Mu's face turned red and sweat covered his forehead, but he didn't move it at all.

Then they pried it open for more than two hours.

click-

Finally, a sound was heard, and the opening of the shell was pried open one millimeter at a time!

After all this time, they only pried it open one millimeter!

Su Mu was very angry.

However, as the shell was pried open a little bit, a ray of colorful light overflowed from inside.

After feeling the breath of this dense light, Su Mu's pupils shrank, and he suddenly became alert and very interested. He rolled up his sleeves, practiced his skills, and continued to pry.

While Su Mu was busy prying shells.

thump—

thump—

A dull sound came from the dark river.

Hearing this, Su Mu stopped what he was doing and turned to look downstream of the river.

thump—

The sound continued to come, and if you listened carefully, this sound was a bit like gongs and drums.

It is similar to the night watchmen in mortal cities who strike the gong while patrolling at night, but the sound is not as sharp and more dull.

Su Mu has been guarding the river for so many years, and most of the people he met crossing the river were met during the day.

Who is such a good person that crosses the river at night?
Either he is doing something bad, or he is preparing to sneak across the border!

Although I rarely encounter people at night, I have encountered them once or twice, but both happened one or two years ago.

On one occasion, there was an old woman who looked strange and mysterious, and was trying to sneak across the border.

Su Mu discovered him and blasted him back.

People who come to the river at night either dump corpses or drug people. Of course, there are also some night fishing enthusiasts.

When crossing the river at night, he would take a broken gong and beat it on the river.

What are you preparing for?
Bring yourself out and provoke yourself?
Or is it that another young man has come to cause trouble?

Su Mu was already upset because of prying shells, and now in the middle of the night, a man came and banged a broken gong on the river, which made Su Mu even more angry. He walked towards the river angrily.

At this time, the old green ox who was sleeping in the backyard suddenly raised his head and looked at the dark water surface after hearing the gong sound.
