Chapter 291: Dragon Lord Bloodline

~8 min read 1,548 words

"Interesting, interesting!"

The toad put its hands behind its back and paced around Liang Qu.

Water algae floated and swayed, Liang Qu was sweating profusely, not understanding what was happening; could it be that he had let the toad see his foundation?

That shouldn't be; with the Ze Ding's ability, could a water marsh demon king perceive it?

That would be too worthless.

Liang Qu felt anxious.

The fat catfish, acting as a mouthpiece, immediately asked what was interesting, letting it be happy together.

The toad supported its chin, half-thinking and half-answering: "The feeling you give me is very similar to that long worm..."

Long worm?

Liang Qu's thoughts turned a hundred times, his brain entering overclocking mode.

There weren't many in the Jianghuai Great Marsh who could enter the toad's field of vision and be called a long worm.

The only one he could think of was the Jianghuai Flood Dragon that occupied the Long Gong.

The term "long worm" carried contempt.

The relationship between the two wasn't good?

Damn!

He had hit the muzzle of the gun!

No, he had to pull back some impression points!

Why was he like the Flood Dragon?

Liang Qu's brain turned until it smoked, immediately associating it with the River God Festival in June.

After the River God Festival, he obtained a full point of Jianghuai favor, and the change started exactly from that time; he always felt malice following him when going underwater, and the malice most likely came from the Flood Dragon!

Perhaps there was a competition between him and the Flood Dragon regarding the degree of favor...

Liang Qu's thoughts were like lightning, he bowed again: "The Great King might as well think carefully, is it like the long worm of the past, or the long worm of the present?"

"Past, present?" The toad's eyelids drooped, then suddenly opened again, "It's like the long worm of the present! The past one isn't! Eh?"

The toad leaned down again, its frog eyes moving up and down: "Are you the guy the long worm is looking for?"

"Right, the south! You are that guy!"

Without waiting for Liang Qu to answer, the toad clapped its webbed claws by itself, appearing very happy; as it swung, the water flow turned into a dragon roll and hit the stone walls on both sides, slowly dissipating into white steam.

"There's a chance!"

Liang Qu's spirit was greatly refreshed; as the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend; showing a hostile relationship with the Flood Dragon could at least draw a clear line with it and pull back a wave of impression points!

Talking to big shots was truly walking on thin ice; even if one did nothing, one could still be loathed.

The dragon roll tore the water algae, and broken leaves drifted everywhere.

The toad hugged its white belly and couldn't stop laughing; the fat catfish followed along, holding its belly, its two long whiskers shaking up waves.

Liang Qu didn't know what it was laughing at; it seemed he would have to repair it well when he went back.

After rejoicing for a while, the toad lay quietly in place, seemingly falling into a very distant memory.

Liang Qu could perceive the toad's gaze occasionally falling on him like a curtain, his heart beating like a drum, not knowing what changes there were again.

Agony...

The toad lay on the ground, its thoughts drifting.

It felt strange the first time it saw Liang Qu.

The presence was too low.

It wasn't the aura or appearance, but the presence.

So low that it could be ignored if one wasn't careful, simply incredible.

After concentrating attention to cross the alienation in presence, a deeper level of familiarity emerged.

Long worm!

The toad had seen the long worm not long ago, so it wasn't difficult to recall.

It originally thought Liang Qu was a species of the long worm, so it had the unique traits of the long worm; after being reminded, it seemed that wasn't the case.

"Past... present..."

The toad pondered, soon finding the key node of that change.

The long worm entered the Long Gong!

Could it be inherited from the Dragon Lord?

In that case, Liang Qu wasn't like the long worm, but like the Dragon Lord?

Did the two have some blood relationship?

The toad thought deeper and deeper.

The Dragon Lord was good in every way, except for one point: he liked to reward essence blood, enlighten living beings, and there were always some strange things flowing with dragon blood.

When it was young, it followed the old toad to wander around the Great Marsh, and by virtue of the old toad's ability to seek profit and avoid harm, it made a name for itself in the Great Marsh.

That year, the Dragon Lord had a birthday, and the two frogs were lucky enough to be listed in the banquet; the old toad still collected the gold and silver cup brought back from the Dragon Lord's banquet, often taking it out to boast, claiming the cup was personally gifted by the Dragon Lord, placing it by the bed, and dreaming of it every night.

Only the toad knew the truth.

But that was already more than a hundred years ago.

It was just a little frog following the old toad, shuttling through the flowing banquet, eating and drinking; apart from the fact that the dishes at the banquet tasted extremely good and were still unforgettable, the rest of the impression was blurry.

Truly fate.

The person the long worm wanted to find would run to its door by himself, and even before the long worm got angry, he was already helping it build ships.

The toad missed the taste of that meal.

In a trance, it seemed to see the Dragon Lord again, to see that prosperous, orderly, and vibrant demon court.

As for catching Liang Qu and handing him over to the Flood Dragon, it had no such thought at all.

For the passing of the Dragon Lord, the long worm had to be labeled with a most important suspicion, followed by Iron Head in the north.

Even if it wasn't the long worm, its behavior of occupying the true dragon's legacy and driving away the Long Gong's descendants was also inferior and unbearable.

In short, before the truth came out, as long as it was something the Flood Dragon wanted to do, it would firmly oppose it!

"Go!"

The toad's webbed claws fanned, striking a water dragon roll, rolling up Liang Qu and the fat catfish, and landing steadily in front of the stone cave.

Liang Qu looked up, slightly shocked.

Only by truly standing in front of the stone cave could one perceive one's own insignificance.

He was like an ant coming to the front of a sea turtle shell that had been dead for a hundred years, admiring the glory of the giant beast.

The vines growing tightly against the rock wall swept to welcome them; the toad took steps to enter, Liang Qu hugged the fat catfish, lay on it, and followed inside.

"In the future, go less to the north and east of the deep water area of the Great Marsh."

Liang Qu tentatively asked: "What the Great King said, I will naturally take to heart, but can the Great King tell me the reason?"

"Not safe."

The toad shook its big head.

The four pillars of the demon court, it was in the south, the west was the old turtle, and the east and north were close to the Flood Dragon.

Liang Qu nodded; anyway, knowing what to do was enough. Being reminded by the toad, he should have gained a certain degree of favor, at least neutral.

Moreover, he had only discovered the dark current passage to the toad's location so far, and didn't have the conditions to go elsewhere.

Speaking of which, how was the dark current passage formed?

Without any power to maintain it, it could last for so long; was it really a magical path naturally formed by the Great Marsh?

Following the toad for a distance, Liang Qu looked around at the dazzling remains of great demons, his awe for the toad increasing.

Awesome!

If he could really hug the toad's thigh, he would replace the old monk and become Liang Qu's biggest backer.

Pity, his relationship with the toad was currently weak, whereas the fat catfish had a better relationship with the toad.

The toad moved to a light blue beast skin, lifted its butt, lay down, and waved its webbed claws.

"Two ships for two items, you can take one more, don't disturb me if there's nothing."

The fat catfish caught its eye.

A tiny fish, high in intelligence but not afraid of it at all, and it looked blessed, a breed it had never seen before, and it could even bring ships over, so it naturally liked it.

It hadn't bothered to think about where the ships came from before, but felt somewhat uncomfortable after knowing; however, after understanding that Liang Qu didn't get along with the Flood Dragon, the toad didn't care anymore.

Having said that, it closed its eyes and went to sleep. ===== CHAPTER 292 =====
