Qiqi, his disciple, and his two companions slowly made their way down the river. The rocks in the dark river were of various shapes, jagged and craggy. As they walked, their footsteps were the only sound in the silent water. The light from their flashlights reflected their shadows, revealing a sense of loneliness.

Qiqi observed the water. The current seemed to fluctuate, but she didn't hear any waves. Qiqi sighed and whispered, "Master, Brother Jingze, be careful of crocodiles. I think they're just ahead. Let's watch the current. Ripples mean they're lurking."

"Okay Qiqi, you two should be careful." Yun Jizi said.

Qiqi then remembered that there were pistols in the space that could be used. She took out two, put the silencers on them, and handed one to Shifu and Jingze, each one. She stopped to teach them how to use them and how to aim. Shifu and Jingze were both highly skilled in martial arts, so they learned it quickly. Crocodiles have very thick scales, so bullets can't penetrate them. If you want to shoot, just shoot in the eyes.

Jingze walked slowly, watching his surroundings warily. The flashlight had a limited range, and the crocodile's eyes were located on top of its head, making it easy to detect and hide. Crocodiles have a clairvoyant vision, allowing them to see even at night. They also have a strong sense of perception and a keen sense of smell. They often close their eyes to rest at night.

Qiqi said, "Master, Brother Jingze, let's try to finish this quickly to avoid attracting other animals."

"Qiqi, I'll do as you say." Yun Jizi replied.

Qiqi stepped on a small stone and lost her balance, falling forward. Jingze grabbed her and made a sound. Yun Jizi noticed ripples in the water.

"Are you okay? Qiqi, walk slowly and explore bit by bit. We are not in a hurry. There are ripples in the water. Be careful whether in the water or on the shore. The crocodile may be lying on the shore." Yun Jizi said with concern.

"Qiqi, Master, be careful, there are crocodiles on the shore and in the water." Zhou Jingze said in a low voice.

Zhou Jingze finished speaking and cast a large net down to the shore among the crocodiles, instantly catching one and spreading a handful of drugs. Qiqi also flew up using his Qinggong skills and caught another one. He pulled it out of the water with all his might and also sprinkled a handful of drugs. The two crocodiles were too big and struggled constantly.

Yun Jizi also wanted to catch one like his two disciples. But Qiqi and Jingze's move was like stirring up a hornet's nest. Several crocodiles attacked Yun Jizi at once. Yun Jizi's net failed to catch the crocodiles, and the crocodiles raised their heads and bit Yun Jizi. Yun Jizi kicked the crocodiles' heads and leaped up. The crocodiles missed and swept their tails at Yun Jizi. Yun Jizi swung his Buddha's dust, like a steel whip, at the crocodiles' tails, and the crocodiles darted away.

A crocodile also pounced on Qiqi. Qiqi stood on its head and flicked a poison pill into its mouth. Then Qiqi flew over to the master to attract the one next to him. She took out a roast chicken and threw it in front of him. The crocodile scrambled over. Qiqi swung the net and caught one. She gave the rope to Jingze and asked him to tie the other ends together.

Yun Jizi also caught one with a net and dragged it aside. A crocodile attacked Yun Jizi, but Qiqi kicked its head aside. The crocodile opened its mouth wide and bit Qiqi again. She casually flicked a poison pill into the crocodile's mouth. Qiqi raised her net and caught the first poisoned crocodile. At this time, Jingze also came over, and Qiqi handed the rope to him again.

Yun Jizi also fought with the other two. Qiqi flew to the side of the master and threw out two roast chickens. A crocodile smelled the aroma and pounced on the roast chicken. Just as it swallowed one, a large net caught it. The crocodile did not forget to swallow the roast chicken in the net.

Jingze came over and took the rope from Qiqi, dragged the crocodiles over, and piled them together. Yunjizi also caught another one and dragged it towards Jingze. Jingze hurried over to take it. Pile them together.

Qiqi watched the last poisoned crocodile writhing in pain, and instead of getting anxious, she watched leisurely from the side. They were a little tired from beating it; the crocodile was too heavy. Yunjizi simply sat on the ground, panting. If it weren't for the net bag and Qiqi's medicine, the three of them, master and apprentice, might not have been able to defeat the crocodile. Jingze also squatted on the ground, watching the writhing crocodile, panting. He said, "The crocodile is too heavy."

Qiqi gave Master and Jingze a spiritual fruit each to replenish their energy. She also caught the last one in her net.

Qiqi and Jingze dragged it over and tied the crocodiles together. Qiqi then took out a large net, and the two of them worked together to cast the net over the crocodiles, preventing them from opening their mouths and escaping. The ends of the ropes were tied to a large rock.

The net bag was specially made by Zhou Jingze's secret guards. It is not afraid of fire, cannot be cut with an ordinary knife, and cannot be bitten by crocodiles.

Qiqi liked this net bag very much, and secretly asked the leader of the secret guards for a lot of them. She secretly gave him a gold leaf, but the leader didn't want it. Qiqi said, "Make me a batch." The leader then accepted it.

Qiqi gave him a lot of pills, and wrote the effects and instructions on the outside of the bottles. The leader of the secret guards was so happy that he was even happier than if he had received gold leaves.

Qiqi sprinkled a lot of anesthetic powder on the pile of crocodiles, which made them unable to move.

"Master, are there only these seven crocodiles, plus the ones they caught, so there are eight in total?" Qiqi asked.

Taoist Master Yunji ate the spiritual fruit given by Qiqi and felt better all over. He was a little tired because he was nervous after fighting with the crocodile just now.

"Qiqi hasn't made any movement yet, so it must be these few. When hungry, crocodiles will eat smaller crocodiles. They can't find much food in the underground river, just fish swimming down from upstream." Yun Jizi analyzed.

Qiqi also sat down to rest, ate a spiritual fruit, drank some spiritual spring water, and handed a bottle to the master and Jingze respectively. Qiqi placed the flashlight on the ground, where there were many small, shiny stones.

"Master, look at what this is. Is it a sparkling diamond?" Qiqi exclaimed in a low voice.

Zhou Jingze also noticed it. He picked up a few pieces and handed them to the master. He also asked.

"Master, take a look, is this the diamond Qiqi mentioned?"

Yun Jizi took a look and said, "It's diamonds. Diamonds are found in rocks deep underground. After a long period of erosion and scouring by the river, the diamonds in the rocks will be transported to the riverbed. Just now, we fought and dragged the crocodile.

The diamond was dragged out. There are diamonds at the bottom of the river where the crocodiles stay. Yun Jizi often travels to neighboring countries and has seen this kind of diamond. The jewelry made from it is very beautiful. It's also very expensive, and ordinary people simply can't afford it.

"Master, we are rich. Diamonds can be used as jewelry. They are very expensive." Qiqi said.

"Our Qiqi is a little money-grubber. She can make you sell anything for money." Yun Jizi joked.

"Qiqi, I'll go down to the river to pick up diamonds for you." Zhou Jingze said.

"Wait, Brother, let me check if there's any poison in the water before we go in."

Qiqi took out her space to analyze the water's indicators and carefully examined them. There were no toxins. She pulled out a small net bag she'd used for experiments. It was so dense that no small particles could be seen. She gave Jingze a handkerchief and asked the master to keep watch on the shore. She also gave them a flashlight.

The two of them were fishing happily, "Brother, look, I fished out a very large diamond. Hahaha." Qiqi laughed softly.

"Qiqi, you see I got a lot too. They're so shiny and beautiful. I'll make you a bracelet when I get back," Jingze replied.

"Brother Jingze, the bracelet is such a waste and too expensive."

"Our Qiqi deserves such precious jewelry." Jingze replied

Yun Jizi saw that the two of them had fished out a small pile and laughed happily. "Qiqi, Jingze, this is enough. We'll have plenty of opportunities to fish more later. Let's go take a look ahead first."

"Master, we'll listen to you. Brother Jingze, we won't fish anymore. This is enough." Qiqi said as she went ashore and put on her shoes. Zhou Jingze also hurried up, tied up the diamond first, and handed it to Qiqi, who tossed it into the space. After Zhou Jingze put on his shoes, he walked forward again.

In the dark and silent river ahead, the only sounds were their footsteps and slight breathing sounds. The silence was a little scary.

The master and his two disciples walked forward cautiously.
