I Have Awakened The Deduction System

312 The Mysterious Fifth Uncle Li

“Qing Sea is so dangerous, how can we just jump down? Everyone, go back!” Fifth Uncle Li was furious and scolded,

“If you really need to harvest, why don’t you fish up the squid just now and bring it back…”

Gu Mingzhou pointed to the place where the squid had fallen.

The people who were arguing were suddenly stunned and came over to Gu Mingzhou in unison.

“That’s right, that sea monster is so huge. It’s definitely heavy. Why don’t we salvage it, and then we can hand it over?” Li Hao reacted and said.

“If those guys ask, how do we explain it? After all, our strength isn’t enough to subdue such a terrifying sea monster, right?” Fifth Uncle Li was caught in a dilemma.

“I do have a way to deal with those people, so they think you can subdue the sea monster.” Gu Mingzhou explained.

“Brother Mingzhou, do you have any good ideas?” Fifth Uncle Li was delighted and quickly asked.

“It’s very simple. On the way back, we’ll throw a squid tentacle into the sea every hundred miles. Then, we’ll spray the holy water to deal with the sea monsters on the corpses.” Gu Mingzhou slowly revealed the plan in his heart.

“Wonderful! Excellent!” Fifth Uncle Li immediately understood what he meant.

On the other hand, Li Meng did not understand what Gu Mingzhou meant and looked at the crowd in confusion.

To put it simply, it was to create the illusion that when the sea monsters were on the verge of death, they were discovered and killed with holy water.

This explained that they didn’t have the ability to kill the sea monster, and they just happened to encounter the sea monster’s corpse.

“This way, our exchange can be completed, and we don’t have to give the holy ancestor’s fish bone to those bad people.” Li Mingliang was overjoyed when he heard this.

Fifth Uncle Li no longer seemed to be the brave warrior who raised the seven or eight-meter-long sail alone in the time of danger.

Instead, he became an amiable old man.

Li Meng understood what Gu Mingzhou meant. His previous gloominess was swept away, and he revealed a bright smile.

“Then, Fifth Uncle, I’ll bring some people to prepare the chopping knife and holy water. We’ll deal with it after the sea monster is fished up? ” Li Meng said to Fifth Uncle Li.

“Go!” Fifth Uncle Li said as he hugged li Mingliang.

“Don’t worry, Fifth Uncle. Even if I have to go into the sea to catch them with my bare hands, I’ll let Brother Mingzhou and all of you have a good meal today.” Li Hao immediately cupped his hands.

“Mingliang, go with your Uncle Li Hao to the cabin to help.” Fifth Uncle Li patted Li Mingliang’s head and said softly.

“I know, Grandpa.” Li Mingliang replied with a smile and walked to the cabin with Li Hao.

“Brother Mingzhou, may I have a word with you?” Fifth Uncle Li looked kindly at Li Mingliang and Li Hao as they entered the cabin. Then, he turned around and said to Gu Mingzhou in a low voice.

Gu Mingzhou was stunned. He immediately guessed Fifth Uncle Li’s purpose. He probably wanted to probe Gu Mingzhou’s background.

After all, the method he had just used to kill the squid was too shocking for these fishermen who had no cultivation at all.

“Of course, I also happen to have some questions that I would like to ask Fifth Uncle.” Thinking of this, Gu Mingzhou immediately cupped his hands and said,

Fifth Uncle Li nodded slightly and immediately walked toward the bow of the ship. There was no one there, and it was a place that few people went to.

Gu Mingzhou was thinking about how to make Fifth Uncle Li believe him. He followed Fifth Uncle Li and walked to the stern of the ship.

“Brother Mingzhou, from your behavior, clothing, and cultivation, you’re different from us. I don’t think you’re from here, right?” Fifth Uncle Li suddenly turned around, wiped away his smile, and deliberately lowered his voice.

“I accidentally slipped and fell into the Qing Sea. It’s not wrong to say that I’m not from your place.” Gu Mingzhou didn’t understand what Fifth Uncle Li’s sudden question meant.

“That’s not what I’m asking. You’re not from this world!” he said. Fifth Uncle Li’s expression suddenly became serious. He stared at Gu Mingzhou as if he was afraid that others would hear him. He even glanced around and said in a deep voice.

Gu Mingzhou’s heart sank. He squinted at Fifth Uncle Li but did not answer.

He was indeed not a person of this world, or perhaps this place could not even be considered a world.

In his eyes, regardless of whether it was people or objects, they were merely the third tribulation set up by the Qing Emperor.

Although he did not find any loopholes in the illusion, he would not treat this place as a world.

This was also the reason why he acted last when the sea monster attacked the fishing boat.

After all, he had come here to challenge the third life’s tribulation.

But now, Fifth Uncle Li’s words made Gu Mingzhou suddenly feel that he had thought wrong. This might really be a different world, or rather, a space.

If this place was simply the third tribulation set up by the Qing Emperor, then the people here should not doubt his identity.

Even if they did, they would not suspect that he was not from this world.

“I guessed it!” seeing Gu Mingzhou’s silence, Fifth Uncle Li’s face suddenly turned fierce, but there was a little helplessness and unwillingness mixed in. He said in a calm tone.

“What are you trying to say?” Gu Mingzhou felt that Fifth Uncle Li was not a simple person.

“If I’m not wrong, you’re actually here to undergo a tribulation, right?” Fifth Uncle Li paused for a moment, and a smile reappeared on his face as he said in a low voice.

“I’ve really underestimated you,” Gu Mingzhou said coldly.

The spiritual energy in his body instantly surrounded his body.

Fifth Uncle Li, who had suddenly become somewhat unfamiliar, gave him a strong sense of unease.

“If you kill me or harm the people of Qingshi Island, I can guarantee that you will never be able to leave this place!”

Fifth Uncle Li’s originally honest and kind face instantly became extremely sinister. He directly threatened Gu Mingzhou.

“I don’t have any ill intentions. But that doesn’t mean I’m easy to bully.” Gu Mingzhou was not afraid of the threat and retorted directly.

Ever since Fifth Uncle Li had suddenly revealed his identity, the uneasiness in his heart had been rising.

It was as if he had fallen into a trap.

It was as if everything that had happened after he was trapped in the strange fishing net had been a trap set up for him.

This included the ferocious squid sea monster and the fishermen who had escaped from death. It made Gu Mingzhou feel like it was a trap, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

Seeing Gu Mingzhou’s expression change, Fifth Uncle Li immediately smiled smugly.

His old but clear eyes looked around. After he was sure that no one was paying attention to the two of them, he approached Gu Mingzhou.

“Actually, my purpose is very simple…” before he could finish, Fifth Uncle Li’s eyes suddenly turned cold. he waved his right hand, which had been behind his back.

Swish!

A dagger that glinted coldly suddenly appeared in Fifth Uncle Li’s hand. Before Gu Mingzhou could react, the dagger was already stabbed into his lower abdomen.

A dark red color instantly bloomed on the deck.

Fifth Uncle Li’s sudden thrust of the dagger was completely out of Gu Mingzhou’s expectations.

After all, Fifth Uncle Li was just a mortal without any cultivation.

Even if he stood still and let him hit him, it would definitely be difficult to hurt him.

When he saw the cold light that suddenly flashed in Fifth Uncle Li’s hand, he subconsciously thought that with Fifth Uncle Li’s ability, no matter how sharp a weapon was, it would definitely be difficult to break through the protective essence energy.

It was his arrogance that brought about this unbelievable nightmare.
