Chapter 277: Can

The moonlight was dim, and the water surface reflected the orange light of the burning fire.

Liang Qu had been underwater for a long time, and the burlap soaked in kerosene was about to burn out, becoming brittle black pieces stuck to the reddish firewood, crackling.

Chen Jiechang's arms were sore; he changed hands to hold the torch, and with the other hand, he reached into his pocket, took out a handful of peanuts, and handed them to Li Libo and Ah Liang.

Li Libo reached out to take them; he could still wipe off the mud residue remaining on the peanut shells.

He pinched open a grain, rubbed off the skin, and threw it into his mouth; it was rich in oil, sweet and delicious, and the taste was not bad.

"Spring peanuts will be ripe in a few days, right? Where did you get them?"

Peanuts are divided into spring and autumn, and spring peanuts are usually ripe in mid-August every year; now it's almost half a month early.

"Aunt Zhen gave them at noon, saying that the weather is hot this year, and a few seedlings in the field turned yellow early, so she pulled two ridges and sent the first batch to my house to taste."

"Hey, this is bribery; give me all the peanuts in your pocket, or I'll go to the Three Judicial Departments to report you."

"Nonsense!" Chen Jiechang scolded, turned his head to look at Ah Liang, "Why doesn't Ah Liang eat?"

Ah Liang's face was miserable: "Master Liang has been down for so long, why hasn't he come up yet?"

Li Libo chewed the peanuts and said vaguely.

"Martial artists have long Qi, different from us; not to mention your Water Brother, I can hold my breath underwater for half a quarter of an hour; besides, Water Brother might not still be near us, maybe he swam out two or three li to find that water monster."

"Two or three li?"

Ah Liang stared at the pitch-black surging water marsh, unable to help but leave the edge of the boat and shrink into the center of the boat belly.

He thought Liang Qu was nearby, but didn't expect to hear Chen Jiechang say that he had swum out early?

What if that water monster made a comeback? Wouldn't they be surrounded?

"What are you panicking about?"

Li Libo laughed when he saw it, but before he finished speaking, there was a loud noise in the distance, like a muffled thunder exploding in the water.

The nearby Great Marsh trembled together, and the boat floated gently on both sides.

What kind of ghost movement is this?

He and Chen Jiechang looked at each other.

"East side?"

"East side, leaning north."

"Go, go over and take a look!"

Li Libo threw away the peanut shells and burst out all his strength, rowing vigorously.

The whole boat rushed away from the water surface with a whoosh; before it rowed out for a li, huge waves were set off in the surrounding waters!

Waves surged and undulated; Ah Liang slipped and fell without standing firm, almost falling into the water, but fortunately was pulled by Chen Jiechang.

Li Libo's soles took root and he rowed hard, barely holding his own against the water waves, unable to advance a single inch.

The shaking of the whole Great Marsh was so violent that it even reminded him of the bed sheet he shook when drying the quilt this morning!

"What are you doing?"

Underwater.

Liang Qu landed lightly, holding his breath, and ran a few steps forward.

The big snake stiffened for a moment, a straight blood line appeared along its skull, and the pain of cracking swept through its whole body.

The survival instinct that had been suppressed to the limit rebounded, allowing it to overcome fear, straighten its body and twist wildly; the blood line continued to spread, dark red blood dissipated from the narrow gap, and all the scales opened because of pain, scraping against the rocks, leaving fine scratches.

Rocks splashed, and the whole big snake unfolded, not just three zhang; as a snake, it was much longer than four-legged beasts like the red beast, at least ten zhang!

Struggling like a long whip, it whipped wildly at the bottom of the water, and the water flow brought up was as violent as a knife; however, when it whipped in front of Liang Qu, it all turned into a breeze brushing his face.

However, during its struggle, there was no counterattack consciousness at all, just like an earthworm scalded by boiling water, rolling entirely by instinct.

Liang Qu knew very well that his spear must have slashed the skull and hit the big snake's brain; it should be considered dead.

This struggle was just a centipede that dies but doesn't stiffen.

If his martial arts realm could be higher, he could have extinguished its vitality with one spear, without setting off half a wave.

Thinking of this, Liang Qu gripped Fubo tightly, and his heroic spirit grew.

The big snake's aura intensity was similar to the red beast, and it was also in the category of having just entered the Great Spirit Monster realm, but no matter how clumsy it was at the Great Spirit Monster level, it was still a Great Spirit Monster!

The Qi and blood intensity was equivalent to a Wolf Smoke martial artist!

In other words, he used the lingering rhyme of slaying the dragon to kill a Wolf Smoke martial artist with one spear!

He harvested his first Great Completion—Green Dragon Spear Style One!

Great Completion was far superior to Small Completion; it was no longer about using moves in a rigid way, but having his own understanding and more powerful performance, with power several times greater!

Expansion!

Unprecedented expansion!

While enjoying it, a boat broke into Liang Qu's perception circle, barely stopping at the edge, blocked by the wind and waves, unable to advance an inch.

Liang Qu came back to his senses from the lingering rhyme and floated out of the water surface; in an instant, fresh air passed through his lungs to his whole body, dispelling fatigue.

Water breathing allowed him to breathe through his body surface, similar to catfish and eels, but just like human mouth breathing, if the exercise was too intense, he would still be out of breath.

Chen Jiechang on the water surface saw Liang Qu by the boat and reached out to pull him up.

When Liang Qu sat down, the three of them surrounded him and asked questions one after another.

"How is the situation?"

"What happened?"

"Did you fight?"

"It's already solved."

Liang Qu caught his breath, took out a silk cloth from the water-proof partition, and wiped the water stains on the spear blade.

The black-gold spear tip flashed with a cold light, sharper by three points.

Spirit weapons are good; the more he uses them, the more Qi and blood are repeatedly infused, and they will grow along with it.

Solved?

The three of them looked at each other, and Li Libo pointed to the surging water waves.

"Then what's the situation with these waves?"

"Have you ever killed a chicken, caught a water snake? Cut off the head, and the body can still jump; it's about the same as that."

Everyone suddenly realized.

"Strange, the movement is so big."

Chen Jiechang held the torch high, and from time to time he could see a dark green long tail whipping out of the water surface.

Ah Liang was surprised and happy: "Can we catch fish with peace of mind in the future?"

Liang Qu nodded: "Hmm, the Binghuo day will end soon, it should be quiet, there won't be much danger."

Martial artists leave their hometowns after making a fortune, going to more prosperous big cities, precisely to seek a future.

Spirit monsters are the same; shallow water cannot raise a true dragon.

The instinct of life evolution will make them lean towards more prosperous deep water areas.

Only under various complex conditions, such as Binghuo, shedding skin, and pregnancy, will they run to the shore, seeking a more stable environment.

The water waves surged, hitting the boat body one after another, and Li Libo threw down the iron anchor to stabilize the boat.

A quarter of an hour later, the surrounding sea waves calmed down slightly.

Liang Qu calmed his mind and observed the Inside Ze Ding.

Last time he searched the mountains and subdued demons, he first received the River Lord's favor; this time he slew the snake, does it count as "slaying the dragon"?

It is a pity that until the movement in the water dissipated, the Inside Ze Ding was silent.

Not quite.

It seems this "slaying the dragon" was too simple.

Liang Qu didn't struggle anymore, re-entered the water, lit his golden eyes, and found the water monster buried in the mud and sand.

The dark green big snake lay completely paralyzed in the water, twitching twice from time to time.

Coming to the snake's head, the pupils still had reactions, trembling slightly, revealing deep resentment and fear.

Useless.

Dealing with enemies, you can't be soft-hearted.

Liang Qu chopped off the snake's head with one spear and let the fat catfish and other beasts drag the remaining snake body to the shore.

The soldiers patrolling the curfew saw a big snake on the shore, and then looked at Liang Qu, the number one "tyrant" of Yixing Town, on the shore; they didn't dare to have any thoughts of questioning and left in a hurry.

"The matter is solved, go back and accompany your father; if your hand is broken, you need someone to take care of it; Li Libo and Chen Jiechang will help you look after it, remember to help handle the aftermath tomorrow."

On the pier, Liang Qu let Ah Liang go back early.

Ordinary people would have a big illness after receiving such a fright; being able to persist until now was already not bad; the remaining things, leaving them to Li Libo and Chen Jiechang was no problem.

"Thank you, Master Liang."

"Rest assured."

"Leave it to us!"

As for Liang Qu.

Go back to sleep. ===== CHAPTER 278 =====
