Chapter 97 Making a Deal with the Water Tiger

These water tigers stared with their eyes wide open. Their eyes changed color; they were black before, but now they turned bright red, making them look quite frightening.

A water tiger sprayed a jet of water at Wu Cheng with a "pfft".

The water arrow pierced through the ordinary water at the bottom of the river and quickly struck Wu Cheng.

Wu Cheng felt that if he didn't do something, he would definitely be pierced by the water arrow.

At the critical moment, Wu Cheng chose to freeze time.

That was close! The water arrow was already in front of Wu Cheng, only 0.01 centimeters away from his heart.

If time hadn't stopped, Wu Cheng would probably be dead.

Wu Cheng's cold sweat seeped into the water.

He looked at the three water tigers that were still standing still. Although they were frozen in place, they still glared angrily, clearly showing their resentment.

Wu Cheng thought for a moment. He originally came down to get the Dragon Ball, but he felt there was only one Dragon Ball down there.

There were three in total, which was unexpected, so he took all three Dragon Balls.

If you think about it from another perspective, these three water tigers are guarding this place and working hard to protect the three Dragon Balls, but you end up taking them all. Isn't that a bit unfair?

He planned to take out a Dragon Ball and put it back.

Putting the Dragon Ball back in its original place, I felt that the area around it was too empty, so I decided to put two more eggs next to it.

The medicine eggs taken from the gambling drug shop were certainly not as valuable as Dragon Balls. Wu Cheng had collected many, so he didn't mind taking out a few.

After he placed the medicine egg next to the Dragon Ball, it swam out for a while and then broke the time freeze.

At this moment, the water was very quiet.

The three water tigers seemed to have stopped chasing after us.

They seemed perfectly at ease, as if they had never lost anything.

Could it be that what these water tigers care about so much is actually not the Dragon Ball, but a sphere?

In other words, they don't care whether it's a Dragon Ball or not; as long as it's round and spherical, they'll like it.

Wu Cheng had a sudden thought: to go back and replace the third dragon ball as well.

He swam back to the vicinity of the stone bed, and the three water tigers immediately spotted Wu Cheng. However, they disregarded Wu Cheng's strength and did not take any excessive actions.

Wu Cheng took out a medicinal egg and showed it to the three water tigers.

The three water tigers' eyes widened as soon as they saw the medicine egg; their black eyes turned green.

It seems that the water tiger's expression is quite telling; its eyes turn green when it's in a good mood and red when it's in a bad mood.

Wu Cheng confirmed his previous idea, gestured, and handed the medicine egg to a water tiger.

The water tiger was so excited when it got the medicine egg that it danced around with joy. It glanced at Wu Cheng, thought for a moment, reached into its mouth, gently pulled out a stone, and handed it to Wu Cheng.

Wu Cheng was a little disgusted; something pulled out of someone's mouth would surely be covered in saliva.

But then Jin Wanliang said, "What a treasure! This is a Bishui Stone. One piece is probably worth several thousand gold coins."

That's tens of millions?

Wu Cheng thought to himself, "This deal is worth it. I can exchange a useless medicine egg for tens of millions."

He thought for a moment, then took out another medicine egg.

This time, the water tiger that had given Wu Cheng the jade stone did not take it. Instead, another water tiger took the medicine egg from Wu Cheng's hand and also took out a stone, which was red.

Jin Wanliang explained on the spot: "This is Crimson Sun Crystal. This is a good thing, even more precious than the Azure Water Stone."

Wu Cheng was overjoyed and made a deal with the third water tiger.

The third water tiger took out a yellow stone, which Jin Wanliang said was Yuan Tu Stone, a very precious item.

These three stones, combined with platinum clay and blue silica, can be used to create a Five Elements Ring, whose power is immense.

Although two other stones are still missing, Wu Cheng has managed to collect three of the five types of stones, which is quite lucky.

Wu Cheng used a time-stopping technique again, then took the medicine egg and exchanged it for the dragon ball.

After that, time was restored, and I had a pleasant conversation with these water tigers.

It was more like dancing than talking, much like in an online game Wu Cheng used to play, where Horde and Alliance members met but couldn't understand each other's language, so they had to communicate with body language.

Wu Cheng has no talent for dancing, but the effect of the pressure tempering pill has greatly increased his physical flexibility, allowing him to easily perform many movements that were previously impossible.

He got into the fun and danced with the three water tigers for quite a while. In the end, the three water tigers became very good friends with Wu Cheng.

Wu Cheng played for a while before realizing he should leave. Otherwise, if he stayed underwater for too long, Guo Sidi and the others would probably think he was dead.

He bid farewell to the three water tigers, carrying with him various aquatic products and gifts they had given him, and returned to the shore.

As soon as they reached the shore, they saw that Guo Sidi and Lao Er were already crying their eyes out. The four martial arts masters were also wailing along with them.

The two were quite embarrassed when Wu Cheng came up.

The second brother shouted, "Boss, you're not dead!"

Wu Cheng sighed helplessly: "Do you really want me to die?"

"How did you survive? I heard there are three water tigers down there that are just as powerful as Master."

“That’s right,” Wu Cheng said. “However, my relationship with the three water tigers was somewhat of a case of becoming friends after a fight. Not only did they not harm me, they also gave me the Dragon Balls.”

Wu Cheng took out a dragon ball.

Everyone, including Guo Sidi, was stunned.

"Are these really Dragon Balls?" the second brother said. "Are they the kind where you can summon Shenron if you collect all seven?"

Guo Sidi tapped the second brother on the head: "What are you thinking? This is just a treasure that can help a martial artist advance to a great martial artist."

He took the Dragon Ball and looked at the four of them: "What are you going to do next?"

"We are so grateful to Brother Wu for this opportunity. I, Ma Yiming, swear here and now, with martial arts as my witness, that I will always be Brother Wu's ally. Brother Wu, just give the word, and I will go through fire and water for you."

"I, Tao Tian, ​​swear here that in the name of martial arts, I will always be Brother Wu's ally, no matter what, I will go through fire and water."

"..."

Wu Cheng was quite satisfied, having gained four allies at once. These four martial artists would only need to use the Dragon Ball to become Grand Martial Artists in the future. Once they became Grand Martial Artists, having four Grand Martial Artists standing behind him would be incredibly impressive.

Although Guo Sidi is his nominal master and his strength is extraordinary, he should be considered the number one in the world, but he is not a new martial artist and is in seclusion. This identity can intimidate others here, but once he goes out, he is not as effective as a few martial arts masters.

Therefore, Wu Cheng felt that going into the water was really worth it.
