Chapter 1159: Chase, Catch

Rain hits the banana leaves, green and bright.

Tatta Kai hooked its claws, snapped it from the root, picked a large banana leaf to put on its head, carried a wide-in-narrow-out fish basket on its back, jumped into the rice field, stepped on the mud to find eels along the ridge, pinched one and threw it into the fish basket, leaving it for dinner.

The alternation of cold and heat is the rainiest.

Both sides of the river were hazy with water mist, smoke curling.

The Great Shun and Southern Frontier soldiers looked at each other across the Linjiang River, occasionally swearing in Jianghuai official language and Southern Frontier dialect, and arrows flew.

The arrows shot by martial artists were extraordinary, with Qi attached, exploding into deep pits. Often, the defense of the observation tower on the opposite bank was unfavorable, and it was shot down by an arrow.

The Great Shun side caused a sentry post to collapse, worth a Great Merit, and the soldiers responded actively, almost becoming a kind of game. They went back and forth, very lively. It is said that a powerful one earned three Great Merits in half a month, and the limelight was second to none.

Similar days lasted for half a month.

"Sigh..."

Closed the battle report.

Meng Yi leaned back in his chair, rubbing his eyebrows.

The Southern Frontier territory had the advantage, the face looked good, but the inside was gloomy, and the front-line battlefield was like a quagmire.

First, the morale of the army was scattered, and it was difficult to organize an effective counterattack.

Second, even if organized, as long as one thought of the terrifying canyon at Ha Long Bay, the result of this counterattack could be predicted in advance, without any accidents.

Letters were often sent to the camp from the rear. These letters were sent from various villages. Before entering the tent, unless sent by the Tusi, all letters had to be checked first to prevent someone from secretly passing information. The contents varied, all were to preserve oneself, pay attention to safety, written openly and honestly, without any code words. As the Grand General, he dared not detain them, fearing to provoke more intense resistance.

His index finger tapped the table.

Meng Yi turned his head: "Hasn't the Black Water Poison been found yet?"

"Back to the General, no. Since the battle, it has been missing. Someone noticed that Black Water Poison was fighting with a tall woman on the Red River at the time. We suspect that the woman is Liang Qu's wife.

At that time, Black Water Poison acted aggressively, risked attacking the exhausted Liang Qu but failed, instead revealing flaws, and was severely injured by that woman. Perhaps because the injury was too heavy, it is using the Blood Hidden Gu to hide itself and heal alone."

"If it is for healing, why doesn't Black Water Poison return to the Southern Frontier?"

The close guard couldn't answer: "Maybe Black Water Poison has its own considerations?"

Meng Yi didn't speak, moved the stool to the bookshelf.

There were no books on the bookshelf, and there was no need to put books. It was just a shelf. On the wooden board were two nests woven from bamboo grass, with light yellow mice piled up in them, sleeping soundly. Their heads were pressed against heads, thorns sticking out, and two front teeth facing the sky.

These mice were not "Gu."

The Southern Frontier raised Gu, and raising Gu must raise mice.

Powerful Gu masters all had their own insect rooms, breeding and cultivating, moving hundreds or thousands of Gu. Different Gu insects liked different food and environments. Raising them by themselves consumed too much energy, half an hour was common, and they were not at ease if they were in the hands of others, and the manpower was also expensive, so they had the habit of raising domestic mice, letting them take care of the Gu insects.

A common domestic mouse could be responsible for the "food and daily life" of a hundred Gu insects at a time.

The domestic mice in the big village even had their own family genealogy, specializing in selling domestic mouse groups, seven or eight as a family, with elder mice responsible for command, and strong mice responsible for work, working together in unity. Such a small family could raise more than ten thousand Gu insects.

Perhaps the brain was not big, and they wouldn't think too much.

Mice that had only this job in their life did it more accurately than people, without any mistakes.

"You are still good, eat until full and sleep, sleep until full and eat, feed Gu insects every day, don't need to worry about yourself." Meng Yi grabbed a mouse tail and lifted it up.

The mouse opened its limbs, a little dazed, and didn't feel completely awake. It felt like it was put down again, arched, found a comfortable position, curled into a ball, and continued to sleep.

"I heard that Great Shun Liang Qu also raised a group of water beasts, can open boats, can cook, can play music for cloth shadows, and also do carpentry, smarter than people.

I think he looks more like a Southern Frontier person than a Great Shun person. It's better to let the Tusi send someone to Pingyang to check his origin. Maybe tracing back three generations, he is my Southern Frontier person."

The close guard laughed dryly, feeling that this joke was a bit cold.

If he really had Southern Frontier blood, it was impossible to let people go back even if he said it, there was no affection at all.

Sending another Saintess to put a love Gu might have a few points of hope.

"Where is Bone Evil? Said there was something at home, three days, came back today?"

"Not yet."

"Strange..." Meng Yi lowered his eyebrows.

"Password!"

"Mud field fighting dog."

The curtain tent was lifted.

"Report to the General, Hundred-Foot Great Shaman invites!"

"Great Shaman?" Meng Yi restrained his thoughts. "Take me there."

"Yes."

What could it be?

"Meng Yi pays respects to the Great Shaman. I don't know what the Great Shaman is looking for Meng Yi for, is it the Tusi's military order?"

The courtyard was deep, banana trees were scattered, it was originally the mansion of a wealthy family in Qinzhou. Qinzhou fell, and it belonged to the Southern Frontier.

"Not a military order, General Meng, look at this." Hundred-Foot stood sideways to Meng Yi, beckoned under the tree, and pointed to the celadon basin in front of him.

Meng Yi took half a step forward.

There was only a pool of clear water in the celadon basin, nothing else.

Looking closely, the water surface even had a few oil stains.

Ordinary people might not care, but as a front-line Grand General, Meng Yi knew many Gu insects like the back of his hand. Even if he didn't understand, just based on the Great Shaman's words, he should know what this was.

Invisible, untouchable, unperceivable mayflies!

Mayflies collect blood in stages, and when they are collected back, they fall into clear water.

Mayfly blood collection is aimed at Grandmasters, and among so many Great Shun Grandmasters, there is only one person worthy of Hundred-Foot Great Shaman's personal action, and he called him to come...

Lightning pierced the consciousness.

Meng Yi's breathing stopped, staring at the celadon basin: "Great Shaman, this... is this Liang Qu's Qi machine?"

Hundred-Foot Great Shaman nodded, a smile on his face: "Half an hour ago, a batch of mayflies arrived, collected a section of Qi machine, and fell into the basin. It should be correct."

*Clatter. *

The copper pot in the pond was full of water and poured, colliding with the reef, making a crisp sound.

"The mandate comes from heaven, the divination is prosperous! The mandate comes from heaven, the divination is prosperous!"

Meng Yi was incoherent, holding the celadon basin, ecstatic.

The opportunity to break the situation!

The opportunity to counterattack!

This quagmire is saved!

"It's later than I thought. It took two full months to pass back the first section. It should be that Great Shun has specially processed him. The mayflies I refined consume many precious materials and are almost unique, with extremely strong adaptability. With the first time, the second and third sections will be faster and faster. When the three sections are complete, we can capture this person's Qi machine. I give you the news, who to tell, how to use it, you consider it yourself."

Meng Yi calculated quickly.

May.

No, April at the earliest!

Suffer for another two months, and Liang Qu will be completely exposed in their field of vision.

At that time, chasing the soul for thousands of miles, the initiative will still be in the hands of the Southern Frontier!

Iron shoes are worn out in the search for nothing, and it takes no effort to get it.

Liang Qu, you are finally exposed!

Meng Yi restrained his ecstasy, carefully put down the celadon basin, bowed to the Hundred-Foot Great Shaman, rushed back to the camp, wrote a letter first, and informed the Tusi.

The key to the current situation is nothing but Liang Qu alone. As long as Liang Qu is solved, what happened before is just labor pains.

They have persisted for two months, so what if they come for another two months? Such a big benefit will definitely help the Tusi stabilize the rear and let the hesitant Nine Villages provide further support!

After writing the secret letter, it was handed over to the confidant to deliver.

Meng Yi summoned the Five Gu, Nine Poisons, and Twenty-Four Evils again, preparing to reveal a little, let them pass back to their own villages, and stabilize the morale of the army.

"What's the matter?" Bone Evil E Qirui returned to the front line and saw Meng Yi's close guard looking for him.

"Subordinate doesn't know, General Meng said it was important military intelligence, summoned Gu, Poison, Evil, just happened that Lord E returned today..."

E Qirui thought for a while: "Take me there."

"Yes, Lord E, please this way."

One thing after another.

The river wind was vast. Standing on the forehead of the Fat Catfish, Liang Qu let the finless porpoises stay beside the Frog King, Turtle King, Sea Shopkeeper, and General Yuan, using spiritual connection to accurately locate, and at the same time let the remaining hundred finless porpoises distribute on the road in turn, like positioning piles.

The construction of the Vortex Channel】 is "connecting water pipes." A section of "water pipe" is twenty or thirty miles long. Connecting them section by section, one can rush from one end to the other.

The four Demon Kings are in different places, and there are only two wisps of Profound Yellow Long Qi. Obviously, this cannot be done. Adding up all the distances, it can be hundreds of thousands of miles, and tens of thousands of "water pipes" are needed.

Fortunately, the Vortex Escape Path】 promoted by the divine ability has the possibility of "integrated molding." As long as the road position is clear enough, it can all be reflected in the mind.

Four forks, converging to the Jianghuai estuary, sticking to the coast, all the way to Linjiang, a bit like a back scratcher.

"Phew."

The Qi machine flowed. Liang Qu calmed his mind, connected all the water beasts in the chain, like connecting points into lines, and with a thought, all the points flashed instantly.

In an instant, Liang Qu's consciousness seemed to be uploaded to a narrow cable, traveling at the speed of light.

*Boom! *

The Qi Sea plummeted!

The Immortal Island was high, and the Qi Sea, which had reached a terrifying eight thousand times, broke in half in the blink of an eye! And it was falling rapidly!

Four thousand, three thousand eight, three thousand six...

Damn.

Liang Qu was shocked.

Seeing that the Qi Sea consumption was wrong, he hurriedly used the Water Marsh Essence in the Marsh Tripod.

Two million essence evaporated in an instant.

Tripod Master: Liang Qu】

Refining Marsh Spirit: Water Ape Great Sage Orange Fusion: 50.5%】

Water Marsh Essence: 140,000】

The Qi Sea, which had dropped to three thousand, stopped falling, rose slightly, then fell, and then maintained a balance of income and expenditure.

Liang Qu was secretly shocked.

"Is the consumption of Vortex Escape Path】 so large? No, maybe it's just because the road is too long..."

The Jianghuai Great Marsh is ten thousand miles wide.

From the Jianghuai Great Marsh to the Southern Frontier, it is even more unimaginably far, and there are two long forks, one to Pengze in the middle and lower reaches of the Huai River, and one to the Sea Abyss Palace in the East Sea.

"Third Prince, please answer if you receive it, please answer if you receive it."

Outside the Sea Abyss Palace, the Sea Shopkeeper held the little Mirage Dragon with its wrist tip.

"Received, received, this is Cave One, this is Cave One." The little Mirage Dragon looked at the vortex gradually forming in front of it. "Everything is normal, everything is normal, oh!"

"Cannot move, received..."

"Fist..."

"Round head..."

Everything is normal!

The water flow rotated, quietly converging from the estuary, spreading all the way to the southwest.

Communicating with the Marsh Tripod, guiding out two wisps of Profound Yellow Qi, according to the old Dragon King's guidance, merging into it, the light yellow Long Qi flowed together, successively merging into the waterway.

The Qi machine rose, different from before.

It seemed that the whole waterway was gathered by heaven and earth, rather than created by man, more mysterious.

"Can this transport Martial Saints and Demon Kings?" Liang Qu was uneasy.

Midnight.

Spreading for a whole day, the Qi Sea was almost bottomed out.

One end of the waterway finally rushed into the Southern Frontier.

Water Ape Great Sage fusion degree rose, obtained Heaven and Earth Bell Spirit, River Favor +5.4479】

River Dominion: 0.5 Favor: 33.7259】

Deeply favored by Jianghuai, physical strength consumption in water decreased, divine ability consumption decreased slightly, damage in water decreased slightly, recovery in water increased moderately.】

Tripod Master: Liang Qu】

Refining Marsh Spirit: Water Ape Great Sage Orange Fusion: 60.5%】

Water Marsh Essence: 140,000】

Inside the Marsh Tripod, the remaining Wood and Sky Silkworm Cocoon two Qi flowed.

Favor made another big breakthrough, reaching the number of thirty.

Physical strength consumption decreased slightly became decreased, damage in water decreased slightly became decreased.

"The favor increase is large, is it higher later?"

Liang Qu remembered that his fusion degree increased from thirty to fifty, but only increased by five points. Now from fifty to sixty, it actually increased by five points of favor.

Correspondingly, no new talent appeared.

"Have I plucked enough?"

Liang Qu felt that he was already quite comprehensive, had all the water divine abilities he could have, calling the wind and rain, creating rivers on land... calling him a water god was not an exaggeration.

There was no time to delay too much. Liang Qu summoned the little Mirage Dragon and let it try the brand-new waterway.

"Here, here." The little Mirage Dragon jumped off the tentacles. "I'm going in!"

"Mm."

"Wuhu."

The little Mirage Dragon closed its eyes and rushed with all its might.

In Liang Qu's perception, the little Mirage Dragon rushed from the Sea Abyss Palace to the Jianghuai Great Marsh at a very fast speed.

Phew,

Inhale.

One breath.

Phew,

Inhale.

Two breaths.

At the sixty-third breath, the little Mirage Dragon rushed out of the waterway.

"I'm here!"

One breath is six seconds, sixty-three breaths, just over six minutes!

Fast, extremely fast.

The previous Vortex Channel】 took at least half an hour, and it needed "repair" every two or three months.

Under Heaven, except for shuttling, Liang Qu couldn't imagine any existence that could rush from the East Sea to the Southern Frontier in six minutes.

Even if the Flood Dragon had the ability to shuttle, it was not done in one go. Liang Qu's maximum shuttle distance was a thousand miles, the Flood Dragon's was slightly longer than his, and it still took a hundred shuttles, which also took at least half a minute.

"Fist, let the Frog King try its weapon."

Frog tribe territory, fist collided with double pincers.

Repeatedly calculating time, different objects, excluding various errors, the little Mirage Dragon flew ten times and was dizzy. Liang Qu discovered a terrible fact.

"The Frog King's weapon takes sixty-five breaths, three breaths slower than the little Mirage Dragon..."

Ten seconds.

The previous Vortex Channel had two keys, one was "root," Martial Saints couldn't walk. One was body size, both were Heavenly Humans, Long Eying could walk, Big Fatty and Little Fatty couldn't.

The time consumption was also about the same, the bigger the "root," the bigger the body size, the slower.

Several Demon Kings, each with a large body size, "root" is big.

"It won't exceed ten minutes, right?"

Exceeding ten minutes meant that Liang Qu had to persist alone under the Flood Dragon for nine and a half minutes...

"There are quite a few spirit fish and precious plants at home. If all are digested, conservatively estimated, one hundred and fifty thousand essence should be there, totaling seventy fusion degrees..."

"Not enough to look at."

The Flood Dragon not only had a high realm, but also had bonuses in the water.

"Can walk the dog."

Liang Qu changed his thinking.

The Flood Dragon chased, he could escape, and this matter had already been verified. When he fled from the west of the Huai River to the east of the Huai River, the two of them spent a quarter of an hour before rushing to the Southern Zhili.

Record completed.

Major Demon Kings contact completed.

No need to go anywhere else, only Pengze, Liang Qu ran another trip personally, urging the old turtle not to go back on his word.

"Hmph!" General Yuan snorted coldly. "The heart of a gentleman wants people to share his goodness; the heart of a villain wants people to share his evil! I'm also worried that you will go back on your word after the event and swallow the treasure house alone!"

"That's best, we brothers are heart-to-heart, and our profit cuts gold."

On Shoushan, the monkey group cheered.

"Tatta Kai, burn two spirit fish, find two precious plants and stew them together."

"Busy."

"Mm."

Liang Qu slumped on the long chair, limbs drooping, soul out of the body, quietly gazing at the ceiling.

Long Long Eying sat cross-legged reading, biting a green apple, doing her own thing.

Men are sometimes like this, tired and will be dazed by themselves, no need to specifically comfort or accompany him to talk. This kind of dazedness is similar to meditation and emptying, used to restore spirit. Forcing him to accompany him to communicate, thinking it is comfort, is actually being forced to exit the emptying state, re-concentrating spirit, which is actually a disturbance.

Others thought Marquis Baron Xingyi cultivated in the tent every day, only she knew how hard Liang Qu ran around to plan against the Flood Dragon.

"*Sizzle. *"

Spirit fish into the pot.

Liang Qu sat up, took out a small bottle from the Universe Bag, the size of a fingernail, used to store A-Wei's "drip" in the past, now it became the "adhesive" for the Time Insect.

Inside the Marsh Tripod, the Sky Silkworm Cocoon flowed quietly.

"Used it all up."
