Without a shovel, let's get a few more. After digging a one-meter-deep pit, the two of them searched carefully three times, yet it remained empty!
"Old man, your trick isn't working!" After shaking off the mud from Xia Shou, Shi Tian washed his hands in the water that had been dug out and turned to stare at Hermit Sage on the shore.
Hermit Sage pinched with two fingers, and Shi Tian immediately understood and ran over.
Lighting a cigarette, Hermit Sage took a deep drag and said mysteriously, "Finding the entrance is just one part. Once you find it, you need to observe the water color to determine if there's any Wang Chao inside. Only after confirming there's a Wang Chao can we Xia Shou; that way, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort!"
After hearing this, Shi Tian felt it made perfect sense. Gaining insight into the second layer of technique, he energetically shouldered the shovel and ran into the marsh to continue searching for the next target.
Twenty minutes later, Shi Tian stared at the deep pit in front of him, lost in thought again. This time he had focused on that hole for quite a while, confirming there was something inside before he Xia Shou; yet, the pit he dug was even larger than the first time, and it was still empty.
No need for the old man to say anything; after washing Xia Shou, he proactively went ashore to offer a cigarette. There must be a third layer of technique now!
"Old man, I only brought one box of cigarettes today; it's all for you. There are still fourteen left. If that's not enough, I can go buy more for you. Can we finish teaching everything at once?" Standing in the muddy water up to his knees was not pleasant at all; Shi Tian didn't want to come back multiple times and hoped to succeed in one go.
Taking the cigarette from Shi Tian's hand, High Master Hermit’s satisfaction level visibly filled up. He glanced at Shi Tian and opened the cigarette box to offer him one while he himself did not light up.
"A promising student indeed; I’ll teach you until you master it!"
Once he finished speaking, he stuffed the cigarettes into his pocket, took off his shoes, rolled up his pants, and took the shovel from Shi Tian's hands. Hermit Sage stepped directly into the marsh—this was going to be an immersive teaching experience!
Don’t be fooled by Hermit Sage’s age; his pace in the marsh was not slow at all—at least Li Ziyu stuck in the mud couldn’t keep up.
After pulling Li Ziyu out of the mud again, they hurried after Hermit Sage, who had already chosen a target.
Looking at this hole, there must be something inside! But don’t rush to dig yet; first check out the hole and cut off its escape route before starting to dig!
After saying this, Hermit Sage circled around the hole and stomped down hard. Then with a swing of his shovel, after three or five strikes, a little creature with eight legs was dug out.
Shi Tian felt a bit regretful; if only he had held on a little longer! It seemed like if he had spent just two more cigarettes, he could have accomplished this task without having to use up half a box and end up needing to quit smoking for half an afternoon!
With the secret technique learned, Shi Tian wanted to take the shovel from Hermit Sage’s hands but was directly ignored by him.
Wang Chao (Short Octopus)
Wang Chao's ascension form
Taking a few steps forward, Hermit Sage casually caught a Little Tide Crab. He removed its claws and six legs and even took off its little belly pouch—this old man was quite ruthless with crabs!
From somewhere he pulled out a fine line about twenty or thirty centimeters long to tie up the little crab, attaching one end to a small stick he picked up along the way.
After wandering down a bit more, he found another hole. This time there was no need to cut off its escape route; instead, he dug a pit at the entrance until water started coming out.
He tossed the little crab into the pit and stuck the wooden stick beside it. From time to time he poured some dirty water into the pit, and soon there were movements inside.
With the line taut, the Hermit Sage loosened it just enough to allow Wang Chao to move, making it easier for him to bring the crab to his mouth. Once the line was sufficiently slack, the Hermit Sage pulled it back, and eight legs were yanked out from the hole. As the legs emerged, he executed a move called Azure Hawk Pouncing on Rabbit, seamlessly transitioning into the Little Capture Technique. In an instant, Wang Chao, who had been enjoying a feast of crabs just a moment ago, found himself in the grasp of the Hermit Sage.
