Chapter 180: Mirage Insect

Inside the cave, the fat catfish swayed its body, weaving through a pile of debris.

Broken horn.

Scaled armor.

Feathers.

Oddly shaped glowing stones.

Vines intertwined, wriggling along the rock wall.

A variety of items were piled together, yet it was orderly in the chaos.

The fat catfish used its limited vocabulary to describe everything it saw as best it could, as well as the feelings the items brought it.

Unfortunately, one could only talk in the mental link and couldn't share images; Liang Qu could only try to pick out useful items from the fat catfish's pitiful vocabulary.

A tower ship was less than two hundred taels; exchanging it for one thing from a big demon was a profit no matter what; the only problem was how to maximize the benefits.

One ship every two and a half months was a relatively stable and suitable rhythm; neither too fast nor too slow was good.

Anything becomes devalued if there is too much of it, especially for hobbies.

What should he choose?

The fat catfish stopped in front of a golden feather; the intense high temperature baked heat wave ripples around the surrounding water area.

The feather felt extremely familiar to the fat catfish; after thinking for a long time, it remembered that it had brought back a similar one, only the color was a bit different.

"A golden feather similar to the last one? Is it a Red Fire Mourning Feather?"

Liang Qu beckoned, and the Fubo stuck upside down in the silt spun and flew over, floating horizontally in front of him.

His index finger touched it lightly, and the whole long spear made a slight hum, and fine water ripples spread out.

Red Fire Birds have tenacious vitality; when encountering fatal danger, they will inject all their life essence into a part of their feathers and shoot them out in all directions to escape.

Among that part of the feathers, there is one that contains the most life essence, and the Red Fire Bird will use it to achieve rebirth.

Except for the rebirth feather, the rest are Red Fire Mourning Feathers used as decoys.

Because they also contain life essence, Red Fire Mourning Feathers are extremely suitable for forging spiritual weapons.

Fubo's initial birth of spirit relied on Red Fire Mourning Feathers, and later it integrated part of dragon marrow and underwent one addition and molding, making its sharpness even greater.

Liang Qu didn't understand anything before, but now he has seen a lot.

Being able to absorb matter to self-recover and grow is entirely a biological characteristic; so-called spiritual weapons are more like man-made life forms.

Limbs containing the life essence of a big demon are indispensable materials for shaping weapon life forms.

Even more than big demons, Liang Qu suspects that martial artists with high enough cultivation can also refine them, but due to moral reasons, he hasn't seen it recorded in books.

Ordinary Red Fire Mourning Feathers will gradually dissipate the life essence they contain over time, and the dissipation underwater is even worse.

The one the fat catfish picked up the day after the big battle was only fire-gold, but the one in the toad cave was actually gold after such a long time.

It wouldn't be the one that can achieve rebirth, would it?

It seems that Red Fire Bird didn't manage to escape.

"Don't worry, record it as a backup first; A-Fei, go look elsewhere."

Liang Qu is not Plato, and the toad is not Socrates.

Picking wheat ears in a wheat field doesn't allow going back, but treasure hunting in the toad cave has no restrictions.

Let's look again.

The fat catfish continued to walk deep into the cave, and a vine quietly wrapped around its swaying tail.

The vine stretched, and the fat catfish lost its balance and fell into a full embrace.

It struggled desperately to shake off the branches and fled in a panic.

The vine did not pursue; seeing the fat catfish run away, it crawled back to its original position along the rock wall.

There really is everything in the toad cave.

Liang Qu didn't know what the vine that crawled like a snake in the fat catfish's mouth was, but if it could be controlled, it would be excellent for guarding the house.

"Too many unknowns."

Liang Qu sighed.

The water is not the home field of martial artists; many places have never been explored, and no matter how many books one reads, it's useless; no one has ever recorded them.

The fat catfish was swimming and relaying, when it suddenly saw a white shadow flash past in the pile of debris.

It hurriedly chased after it, pushed open several bone fragments in a row, and just as it saw the white shadow about to drill into a stone crevice, it flicked its tail and pulled the white shadow out.

The white shadow hit the ground and bounced incessantly, rolling several times and hitting the rock wall to a stop.

What a big fat worm!

The fat catfish saw such a fat worm for the first time; it flicked its tail and swam over, carefully swaying the fat worm.

The fat worm trembled twice and didn't move.

"There are worms in the toad cave?"

Liang Qu was very surprised to hear the fat catfish's message.

Seeing that the fat worm had no abnormalities, the fat catfish stepped forward and touched it with its whiskers.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the fat worm suddenly jumped up and sprayed a thick white smoke.

Clearly it was underwater, but the white smoke was like floating in the air, ethereal and shrouded, faintly forming the appearance of pavilions and towers.

The fat catfish wanted to retreat, but the white smoke was like maggots on bones; no matter how it shook its head, it couldn't shake it off, and it followed closely.

In a short while, it became dizzy, its vision blurred, and it fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

The fat worm's scheme succeeded, and it slipped into the pile of debris.

"A-Fei, A-Fei! A-Fei, wake up!"

Liang Qu shouted through the mental link, but got no response at all.

What's the situation?

In the mental link, the fat catfish's state was all good, but there was no response.

Fainted?

Liang Qu frowned.

He didn't expect there to be so many strange things in the toad cave, both dead and alive, and they caught A-Fei off guard.

He didn't know the attitude of the toad big demon on the opposite side toward humans, so Liang Qu didn't dare to go rashly.

In his perception, the fat catfish's vital signs were intact, so there shouldn't be any fatal danger...

The fat catfish met the toad frequently, so Liang Qu had a certain understanding of the toad's personality; it was not a demon with a fickle temper.

After thinking for a long time, he decided to wait.

Deep water area.

The toad held a wooden stick in each hand, looking at the remaining four wooden pillars scattered in confusion, lost in thought, completely unaware that the fat catfish in the cave was snoring.

Morning glow gradually rose.

In the cave.

The fat catfish flipped its belly and grinned.

It felt its whole body was light and airy, as if swimming between the clouds in the sky, and everywhere was fragrant roasted meat; one bite was fat and juicy, and its body was warm.

The more it ate, the bigger it grew, the higher it flew, and finally...

A huge force grabbed its tail, followed by a rotation a hundred times more intense than passing through the undercurrent channel, spinning it until it vomited everything it had eaten earlier.

The fat catfish opened its eyes, dazed, seeing an upside-down toad figure, and that reflection was getting further and further away from it.

Bang.

The fat catfish landed on the ground, raising dust.

It climbed up from the ground, dizzy, bumped into the rock wall, and only regained its senses after several times, discovering that it was still in the cave.

Fat catfish: "?"

Seeing that his little brother didn't understand, the big brother grabbed a fat, white worm curled into a ball from behind.

The fat catfish's brain instantly cleared, and its fins pointed at the fat worm.

"It's a Mirage Insect," the toad explained.

"Mirage Insects can spit a kind of beautiful smoke; after inhaling it, you will fall asleep, have a beautiful dream, the time in the dream is very long, and you will become smarter in the dream; little brother was sprayed by its smoke."

The fat catfish opened its big mouth, then waved its whiskers and pointed.

"Little brother wants this?" ===== CHAPTER 181 =====
