Chapter 290: Heading to the Deep Water Area

~9 min read 1,622 words

The toad wants to see me?

Liang Qu's brows were tightly locked, his thoughts swaying and intertwining like water grass.

"Come back first."

The toad didn't know he had a mental link with the fat catfish; saying this was clearly to let the fat catfish come over to pass the message.

There shouldn't be any malice...

Liang Qu floated in the water, constantly weighing, with six otters swaying back and forth in front of him.

They scattered around the dark current passage looking for food, overturning every stone, digging every hole, raising a piece of mud and sand, making a mess everywhere.

Politely declining a big shrimp sent by a small otter, Liang Qu loosened his fist, his hand sweat mixing with the water flow.

Nervous.

The Jianghuai River is the longest river in the world, and the Jianghuai Great Marsh is the largest marsh in the world.

In terms of water area and depth, none can surpass it; folk have always had the separate name of Jianghuai Sea.

And compared to land, the vertical structure underwater is more common, and the number of organisms it can accommodate is much larger; compared to underwater, land is more like a simple two-dimensional plane.

The larger the base layer, the more martial artists it can support.

Why wouldn't the demon race be the same?

Deep water raises true dragons; it was so wide and boundless that the toad's strength was unimaginable, absolutely more outrageous than the old monk, the strongest person Liang Qu had ever seen; he couldn't help but be nervous.

While thinking, a golden feather spun out of the dark current passage, diffusing an astonishing high temperature, the heat wave scorching.

The strongest big otter swallowed a big fish in two or three bites, swam to the golden feather, looked curiously, and was just about to reach out to touch it when a huge black shadow rushed out of the dark current and collided with it.

The fat catfish originally wanted to perform a "flat sand landing goose" move, but didn't expect an otter to block the cave entrance, losing its balance unexpectedly and rolling out with the otter.

Liang Qu slid to the side, avoiding the two beasts.

He stared at the golden feather in front of him, knowing it would be impolite not to go again.

The toad had shown sincerity.

"What should come will come; go back and change clothes."

The vortex rolled up the Red Fire Golden Feather, Liang Qu jumped to the pond, let Fist and other beasts look after the treasure, he went to the bedroom to change into a blue robe, tied his hair, and only after tidying up did he return to the front of the dark current passage.

The fat catfish was fighting with the big otter, both sides grabbing and biting, stirring the water area into a fierce and turbid state, not noticing that Liang Qu had disappeared at all.

"A-Fei!"

The fat catfish did a push-up, tail-whipped the otter away, and swam to Liang Qu's side happily.

"Clear the way."

A-Fei received the order, turned around, and drilled into the passage.

The big otter sat up from the ground, angry, grabbed a stone, and chewed it into crumbs.

After the fat catfish disappeared, Liang Qu stepped forward, gave up resistance, and complied with the dragon-roll suction.

The water flow rolled over his whole body, his feet instantly lost support, rapidly descending, rotating, and rolling; in an instant, he lost the perception of up, down, left, and right, space was infinitely pulled away and elongated, light blue light shadows repeatedly intersected before his eyes, as if he had turned into an ant passing through a Venetian blind, and even his consciousness gradually blurred in the intense swaying sensation.

After about seven or eight breaths, Liang Qu's whole body loosened and was fiercely thrown out by the dark current.

A-Fei outside was experienced, turned its body sideways, and easily caught him.

Liang Qu's back softened, and he was immediately propped up by the fat catfish and landed back on the ground.

The mud and sand under his feet seemed to turn into a lump of soft cotton; there was no rebound when stepping on it, soft and loose.

No wonder the fat catfish was always face-down in the past...

Liang Qu rubbed his brows.

After recovering, he stood up and looked around.

Pressure surged from all directions, his whole body was wrapped and squeezed by the water flow without dead ends, heavy, heavy.

The water pressure had changed.

He looked up, the water surface was boundless.

"Strange..."

"Feeling the water pressure doesn't match the depth..."

Liang Qu frowned.

The water pressure in the deep water area was undoubtedly much greater than in the shallow water area, but he felt that at the current depth, the water pressure was still "small," without the surging pressure it should have.

Looking around, the bottom of the water was not flat, everywhere were undulating mountains, many places grew clumps of water algae, mushroom-like dark purple water plants stood tall, reaching out to touch, the umbrella handle was hard as a rock, no different from an old tree.

Among all the water plants, the most conspicuous were several glowing vines, stretching like spider webs across the earth, providing an extremely good field of vision, even in the marshland, it was still bright as day.

Five colors competing for victory, flowing and dazzling.

Everything in front of him was something the fat catfish had never mentioned, which was quite novel.

But among the cross-growing vegetation, he couldn't see a single small fish.

Deathly silence and vitality bizarrely coexisted.

"Because the toad lives nearby?"

Liang Qu guessed.

The fat catfish wagged its tail and cleared the way in front.

After just a few steps, an extraordinary aura rose like the scorching sun, very eye-catching.

Toad?

Liang Qu used his hands and feet, climbed over a five or six-meter-high stone slope, and his vision suddenly opened up.

Several abandoned giant ships lay leaning against each other at the bottom of the water, some broken at the waist, some with several zhang-high holes broken in the ship's belly.

Each long ship was over a hundred meters, and no water algae grew from top to bottom.

The most exaggerated one was nearly a hundred zhang, over three hundred meters, only a pity that the ship's bow was completely broken and disappeared without a trace.

Judging from the quality, many big ships were more or less damaged, not as complete as the models Liang Qu made for the toad, and even because they were smaller, many places could be made more exquisite.

The big ships were arranged in an arc, and the center surrounded by the arc was an exaggerated stone cave.

Through the stone cave, Liang Qu could faintly see a familiar spherical back.

No need to ask, it was the owner of this back, who gave him his first surfing experience in his life last year.

In the stone cave.

The toad was wiping the big anchor with the Red Fire Bird's fur, and it poked its head out when it sensed the approach of a living person.

On the stone slope, the fat catfish wagged its fins to greet, enthusiastic and overflowing.

Little brother was the same as always.

The gaze shifted to the left.

Liang Qu, who was projected into the gaze, only felt the surroundings sink.

It was different from the substantial change in water pressure, but an invisible pressure, making one stand straight involuntarily to accept "inspection."

Fortunately, it was underwater; cold sweat melted into the water.

Whether the business could be done in the future all depended on whether the toad had an eye for him at this moment.

If it did, it wouldn't be in vain that he had tidied up beforehand.

Seeing the toad's gaze, the fat catfish, which was about to approach, immediately lay on its side, and two fins pointed at Liang Qu together.

The chief designer and chief engineer of many ship models, making a grand entrance!

However, before the introduction was finished, Liang Qu heard a light "eh," and then the toad took a step and came to his front, without stirring up any water flow.

He didn't know what happened, cautiously bowed and knelt.

The gaze looked down from top to bottom.

"Are you a human?" The toad rubbed its chin with webbed claws, "Why does it feel so strange..."?

Liang Qu had thought of countless ways to answer and respond, but the toad's question still made his train of thought stall.

"Naturally... I am a human, why does the Great King say so?"

Liang Qu was completely unable to talk freely as he did when facing the old toad.

He spoke cautiously, not daring to say too much, for fear of triggering any chain reaction.

While answering, he also took the opportunity to look at the toad.

The toad's body was larger than imagined, larger to an exaggerated degree; even squatting, it was a hundred meters high, and one had to look up completely when walking close.

Its appearance was even more different from the toads and frogs usually seen, a bit like... a horned frog?

Pale black stripes on its back, white round belly, big mouth.

Apart from this, there was nothing special.

The toad lay on the ground, tilted its head, and observed repeatedly with one eye, the more it looked, the more it felt suspicious.

Saying the aura was different wasn't quite right; it hadn't not seen humans, there was no problem with the aura, accurately speaking, the feeling was wrong.

The feeling Liang Qu gave it didn't seem like a human. ===== CHAPTER 291 =====
