Chapter 57: A corner of the polluted river, a sword cuts off time and protects the downstream

The fog here is getting thicker and thicker, and Su Mu’s current visual range is only one meter.

Moreover, I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but I feel a little dizzy staying in this fog. I have to leave here quickly.

Fortunately, I made marks along the way and had a general direction, otherwise I would have really gotten lost here.

As he walked, Su Mu came to the next marked location and found something wrong, because this place was different from the location just marked, there was a deviation.

Su Mu also quickened his pace because the fog was getting thicker.

After walking for a full hour, Su Mu passed through a gravel forest. His nose wrinkled as he smelled a foul, rotten smell.

It came from the water ahead, and Su Mu followed the smell of decay.

Soon, they arrived at a more remote area of ​​water. The fog here was much thinner and the visibility returned to normal.

Su Mu looked intently at the water in front of him, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

The waters here were all dark in color, and large numbers of dead fish and shrimps could be seen floating on the water.

The rotten smell came from the dead fish.

Why did so many fish die in this section of water, and there were also several big fish? Judging from their size and appearance, these big fish must be precious fish.

But, it had been dead for a long time and had rotted, so it was definitely inedible. Besides, Su Mu would not be reduced to picking up dead fish to eat, which was too dirty.

Could it be that someone drugged me here?

Su Mu really couldn't tolerate this kind of practice of drugging fish.

Before traveling through time, the reservoir that Su Mu's uncle used to raise fish was drugged by his enemy. All the fish in the reservoir died overnight. His uncle also went bankrupt overnight and suffered from severe depression.

You can go fishing, you can even come and fish with a net!

But, you can’t give drugs!

This is the bottom line, because water is flowing, a small bottle of medicine can pollute a large area of ​​water, and some medicines are extremely toxic. Wherever they go, no grass will grow, let alone small fish fry, even shrimps cannot survive. The water quality is directly damaged and it will take a long time to recover.

That's why Su Mu was a little angry.

I'm guarding this river, yet someone comes and secretly puts drugs in it?
At this time, Su Mu noticed that there were a few small fish on the shore, struggling to climb onto the shore. The breath of these small fish was already very weak.

Seeing this, he walked over, picked up the few living fish, put them in his sleeves, and prepared to find a clean water area to release them.

Then, Su Mu stepped on the water and began to check if there were any surviving fish.

At this time, a larger black carp spit out a bubble, as if asking for help. Seeing this, Su Mu walked over and picked up the black carp.

It was discovered that the herring still had some breath of life, but it was very weak.

Since there was still hope, he collected it.

As they continued their search, they saw a very beautiful guppy fish leapt out of the water and then flipped over on the surface.

Seeing this, Su Mu approached and found that the guppy still had a faint breath of life, so he saved it as well.

In this way, about five or six fish were saved.

After returning to the shore, Su Mu began to look at the polluted waters, and soon he discovered a problem.

This area of ​​water has not been polluted to the downstream and has a clear dividing line.

It looked as if someone had cut off the water on this side with a sword, protecting the downstream waters from pollution.

Su Mu practiced his martial arts, and a vast amount of spiritual power burst out from his palms and sank into the polluted waters, intending to purify the waters.

However, after his spiritual power was immersed in the water, it did not play any role in purification. Su Mu was a little frustrated after trying several times without any effect.

Well, well, well, I am a great monk of the fourth tribulation, but I can’t even purify the water!
What kind of poison is this!

Although there was a dividing line separating the waters, for the sake of safety, Su Mu used his water-controlling ability to make this area of ​​water still to prevent the pollution from spreading and contaminating other waters.

After doing all this, Su Mu marked the breath here and would think of a way to deal with this area of ​​water next time.

After all, I need to maintain the peace and order of this river, and I certainly can't just leave it alone. Moreover, once I purify this area of ​​water, I will definitely receive corresponding favor point rewards, and they will definitely be quite a lot.

I have to leave here first, return to the safe waters, and release the fish I just rescued. After all, their life breath is very weak, so I have to do it as soon as possible.

In this way, Su Mu continued to walk back.

As the fog had thinned a lot, Su Mu walked more smoothly and soon left this section of the river and returned to his stone house.

After putting down the backpack full of peaches, he came to the shore, waved his hand, and released the fish he had just rescued back into the clean water.

After these fish entered the water, the black carp and guppy quickly recovered and their vitality was quite strong!

However, the other small fish did not recover so quickly.

Su Mu spent five favor points to revive them.

[Congratulations! Because you saved a life and triggered a critical hit, you get an extra reward, Favor Points +5000]

Wow, a full five thousand favor points!
At this time, Su Mu said to the fish on the shore with his hands on his hips: "Okay, you guys stay in this area from now on. Don't run around. This is my doorstep. With me here, no one dares to poison you."

The fish seemed to understand what Su Mu said and nodded.

They turned around, as if expressing their gratitude to Su Mu.

"let's go."

"Don't hang around in front of me, or I'll eat you up."

Su Mu waved his hand.

I don’t know about those small fish, but this black carp and guppy are definitely precious fish. I got 5,000 favor points by saving them, so I was in a good mood, so I let them go.

It's impossible that they were eaten right after they were rescued?

After releasing them, Su Mu began to count the spoils of this trip.

He took out a peach from the basket and put the remaining four back into the house.

Before eating, Su Mu adjusted his physical condition to the best condition.

Sit cross-legged, pick up this peach and take a big bite!

The first feeling when you take a bite is that it is crispy and very sweet.

As soon as you put it in your mouth, you don’t even need to chew it, the flesh turns into a powerful energy and pours into your body.

Just like that, Su Mu finished eating the peach in no time.

After eating, there didn't seem to be any big reaction.

Could it be that it is just an ordinary spiritual fruit?

And in the next second, Su Mu's body began to change!
