Chapter 569: Cooperation from Within and Without
Upon hearing that Mu Qiancheng’s situation wasn’t good, Jiang Xue couldn’t help but worry and then asked the Little Fox, "Do you have any way to let Qian Cheng know I’m saving him, or to keep him conscious?"
The Little Fox thought for a moment and then replied, "I’ll give it a try."
After speaking, it directly used its mana within the space and headed towards the Water Monster’s belly. At this moment, Mu Qiancheng was already barely hanging on, relying solely on his last bit of willpower.
He kept telling himself in his heart that he couldn’t die, absolutely couldn’t die, as his wife and children were waiting for him to return. His parents still needed him to take care of them in their old age, so he must live.
Just then, a voice entered his ears, "Mu Qiancheng, Mu Qiancheng, wake up, quickly wake up, your wife is in danger, your wife is in danger!"
Upon hearing that Jiang Xue was in danger, the previously unconscious Mu Qiancheng suddenly opened his eyes and started searching around for the source of the voice.
At this moment, another voice entered his ears: "Mu Qiancheng, listen, your wife is outside fighting the Water Monster, you need to help her, help her!"
"Who, who’s talking to me?" Mu Qiancheng asked loudly, but the voice had disappeared. Mu Qiancheng waited for a while but didn’t hear the voice again, so he began to ponder over what the voice had just said.
His wife was in danger, she was battling the Water Monster, could it be true? Could his wife have been swept into the lake by the big wave?
No, impossible, how could his wife have been swept in? She must have jumped in after seeing him in trouble.
Thinking of this possibility, Mu Qiancheng’s expression suddenly changed, and he started searching for the military dagger he had dropped earlier. Since his wife was outside, he could perfectly coordinate with her from inside and kill the Water Monster in one go.
As Mu Qiancheng thought about this, he started feeling around inside the Water Monster’s belly. Whether it was due to Mu Qiancheng’s actions or not, the Water Monster suddenly felt a bit itchy inside its belly, which was quite uncomfortable.
So, it stretched out a claw and scratched its belly. Jiang Xue, observing its actions and knowing Mu Qiancheng was inside its belly, suddenly had an idea flash through her mind.
So, Jiang Xue communicated with the Little Fox again and said, "Little Fox, help me tell Mu Qiancheng that I plan to attack the Water Monster’s belly and have him cooperate with me."
The Little Fox agreed and then transmitted the message to Mu Qiancheng again.
Mu Qiancheng felt around inside the Water Monster’s belly for a while and finally found his lost military dagger, just as he heard the voice again.
When he heard that Jiang Xue wanted his cooperation to make a move, he immediately agreed.
The Water Monster was unaware of the communication between Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng. After resting for a while, and with its belly no longer itchy, it prepared to attack Jiang Xue again.
However, Jiang Xue did not confront it this time but suddenly swam towards its back. The Water Monster watched in surprise as Jiang Xue headed for its rear, thinking she was afraid of it, and grew smug.
"Cowardly human, are you scared?" The Water Monster glanced at Jiang Xue, full of contempt and feeling even more pleased with itself.
Jiang Xue had no time for the Water Monster’s disdain and mockery; she was focused on how to reach under its belly.
Moreover, she was worried that the Water Monster might discover her intentions, which would prevent any coordination with Mu Qiancheng. She feared it might attack her before she even reached the spot.
As Jiang Xue thought about this, she carefully swam. When she finally reached the Water Monster’s rear, she let out a sigh of relief and then dove deep to its underbelly.
