Chapter 25: Spirit Monster
Liang Qu wants to take back the territory.
After eating treasure fish last time, the Ze Ling fusion level has increased to a full 11.4, the water flow intensity that can be controlled has reached nearly seventy jin, and the underwater activity time has been extended again.
The most critical thing is that the perception range has changed. The detailed perception range has not changed, but the rough perception range has expanded by one meter, reaching a full six meters, which is already a huge spherical shape.
After practicing martial arts for more than half a month, he is no longer the weak little fisherman he was at the beginning.
Plus the help of the Pig-Mother Dragon and the fat catfish, there is almost no beast that can be defeated in the shallow water area.
He believes that the monster grabbing the territory will not be too strong, otherwise it would not watch the fat catfish take away the most precious lotus roots.
The river wind is a bit strong today. Liang Qu sank the stone tied with the rope to prevent the sampan from drifting, then took the wooden spear and the pig bladder into the water, and under the leadership of the two beasts, returned to the water bottom where the lotus roots were found.
The water bottom is very quiet.
Sunlight penetrates the water layer and spreads into fine bright lines, providing a good field of vision.
The silt is full of scattered stones, and plants with names he doesn't know grow between the stone crevices, and long thin silk strips sway gently with the water flow.
Cannot-Move lay on the ground and moved forward carefully, seemingly still very wary of the so-called big guy, not daring to wipe the water grass hanging on its head.
The fat catfish on the side also lay on the ground, shaking its fish tail slowly, reducing the water flow as much as possible.
Many fish with sensitive perception can detect changes in water flow. If the steps are too big, it is really possible to be discovered.
Liang Qu also slowed down his forward speed, trekking in the undulating mud, and after crossing a giant rock, he saw the lotus root blocks spreading on the ground.
The two beasts sent a reminder in the spiritual link.
Very close.
Liang Qu lowered his body, crossed a slightly undulating mud ground again, and an irregular figure appeared in his sight, motionless, abruptly like a protruding black rock. From a visual point of view, it was about a meter tall.
"What is that? Stone? Is the monster it?"
Liang Qu was very sure that this piece did not exist here originally. He looked at Cannot-Move and the fat catfish and got a positive approval.
Strange, he didn't see what kind of creature it was. It was like a stone block, completely without the long shape of fish, not like an underwater creature.
It seems to be the same as the initial Cannot-Move, treating this area as its own territory.
Is it a crustacean?
Liang Qu suddenly thought of a possibility.
Only crustaceans have such strange shapes, lying down like a huge rock.
Gurgle.
A large amount of bubbles drifted from a part of the "rock", proving that it was indeed a crustacean.
What kind of crustacean can be so big? Could it have become a spirit?
Liang Qu was startled. He had been in this world for so long and knew that there were spirit monsters in the world.
He thought the monster the two beasts couldn't deal with might be a four or five-meter-long crocodile, or something else, but he never thought it would be a spirit monster.
But looking at the lotus root field that had been eaten away by a large piece on the ground, he frowned tightly.
Treasure plant lotus root, how can it be cheap for that spirit monster?
Everything was developing in a good direction, but a spirit monster ran out and occupied his most precious resources.
Liang Qu held the wooden spear tightly.
If he ate a spirit monster, how much Water-Marsh Essence would it contribute?
Ten, or even dozens?
He suddenly had a thought, and then was horrified by his own idea.
That is a spirit monster, not an ordinary water beast!
Maybe it's not impossible?
Liang Qu's thinking kept jumping and diverging.
Crustaceans also have many weaknesses, such as under the navel, one spear can kill it.
And its exposed eyes,
are also very easy to deal with. A visual creature, without eyes, can do nothing.
And it is indeed not strong, otherwise it would not watch the fat catfish take away the best lotus roots.
The more he thought, the more restless he became, and the palm holding the wooden spear kept loosening and gripping.
He always remembered the sentence his university tutor once said.
"Things that change life, you must take risks. Things that are meaningful, mostly happen by coincidence. Unimportant things, only then have comprehensive plans."
Risk, a word that runs through the development of human history.
Dangerous and charming.
He is not reconciled!
He wants to take back his things!
Liang Qu clenched his fists, the water flow was squeezed and burst, rushing out from between his fingers and scattering into white water foam.
He never had the habit of handing over things he got to others.
Zhang Tieniu grabbed his boat, so Zhang Tieniu died.
Since there is a certain degree of certainty in front of him, he has to gamble, just gamble on himself and the spirit monster, whose ability is greater!
In the Yang Family Martial Hall, Li Libo and Chen Jiechang were practicing against each other, trying the fighting methods in the three fist techniques.
Unlike Liang Qu who learned all three fist techniques, Li Libo only learned Ape Fist and Tiger Fist, and Chen Jiechang only learned Tiger Fist. The remaining two didn't plan to get involved anymore, but were preparing to concentrate on cultivating the blood-qi in their chests.
On the one hand, Lu Shaohui's teaching was not attentive, and on the other hand, Liang Qu's learning speed was there, which made the two have some tension. Anyway, learning the remaining two techniques could only play a role in expanding their horizons, and the most practiced ones were actually the Ape Fist and Tiger Fist that were most suitable for them.
The two simply gave up, planning to use more time to improve themselves, trying to see if they could break through the barrier within three months, and then stay in the martial arts hall.
If they can break through the barrier, it can almost be counted as getting ahead.
Perhaps in Pingyang Town, a martial artist who only broke through one barrier is not worth mentioning, and even tax cannot be reduced, but it is enough in Yixing Market, and the quality of life can be improved by leaps and bounds.
The simplest is the problem of watering the fields. What if there is a dispute? People on both sides will definitely want to find someone to help. Who to find?
The farmers in Yixing Market naturally thought of the martial artist who broke through the barrier in the village, but is it free to find someone to help?
You always have to carry a few dou of rice, right?
After a long time, the prestige is heavier. Village head, you continue to be a corpse-eating vegetarian, are you embarrassed?
The development of a small place doesn't need to be too complicated. Now both are fish sellers, no one can say for sure in the future.
The two carried the expectation of a better future and practiced against the clock.
"Hey, those two over there, the smell on your body is stinking to death, can you roll further away?"
Li Libo and Chen Jiechang's movements stagnated, and after a while, they continued to do their own things, but their movements became visibly "weak".
"Can't you hear me? It's you two! Fish sellers!"
"Look, their ears are not good either."
"Hahahaha!"
On one side of the martial arts field, three young men squatted, pointing and pointing.
Others saw it, but no one came out.
"Your words are too ugly, Lu Tingcai." Another person came over.
Hearing the voice, Li Libo and Chen Jiechang felt relieved and looked at each other, breathing a sigh of relief.
"Oh?" The young man called Lu Tingcai pulled his trouser legs, opened his legs and sat on the stool, moving down, he tilted his head, "Then Xue Dingyi, can't you smell it?"
? ttkдn? ¢o
"It seems so." The young man who seemed to be dissuading suddenly bloomed with a smile, "Then, let them roll further away!"
Li Libo and Chen Jiechang were stunned, the masseter muscles on the side of their faces bulged high, and the emotions of shame, anger, and inferiority surged into their hearts at the same time.
They always chose the corner position every time they came to the martial arts field, carefully avoiding everyone, but they had never been humiliated like this.
Clearly no grievances and no enmity, why...
"How about this."
Lu Tingcai suddenly stood up and walked toward the two.
Li Libo and Chen Jiechang realized that this person was terrifyingly tall, almost six and a half feet, and had to look up to him after getting close!
Lu Tingcai looked down from above, baring his teeth to reveal a set of grim, white fangs: "As a tolerance for you all to continue staying here, two taels of silver per person, how about it?"
On the side, Lu Shaohui treated the scene in front of him as air, and raised the stone lock by himself. ===== CHAPTER 26 =====
