Peril in the Well

"Wait!"

Ye Qianfan hurriedly scanned his surroundings for a while, but found only a bamboo pole.

He quickly lowered the pole into the water, hoping to pull Fugui out. But Fugui was too heavy, and the Big Black Fish in the water was making trouble too!

"Aaaah!!!"

Fugui had only just grabbed the bamboo pole when the Big Black Fish attacked him again. The pain made him scream repeatedly and let go. "It's biting my leg! Mother!!!"

"Damn it!"

"Am I, Qian Fugui, really destined to die in this well today?!"

Fugui kept thrashing at the surface. Besides staying alert for the huge fish's sneak attacks, he also had to keep himself from sinking!

"Boss Qian, hold on a little longer! Let me see if there's a way to catch this Big Black Fish!"

And Ye Qianfan had been lucky
