Chapter 292: Pond Hot Spring

~9 min read 1,800 words

That simple?

Liang Qu looked at the fat catfish, his gaze full of disbelief; the fat catfish also widened its eyes.

From the meeting until now, it hadn't perceived anything wrong at all, only feeling that the two sides got along harmoniously.

Toad Boss said the Heavenly God was interesting the moment they met; interesting equals joy, and it even clapped its hands and feet, so it must like him very much.

The Heavenly God was also so attentive to Toad Boss, personally controlling the quality every time he built a ship, with high standards and strict requirements, so they were all a loving frog family!

"The thoughts of big shots are hard to fathom."

Perhaps he really caught its eye.

Many things aren't that complicated; just bought a hot dog, met a cat or dog on the road that caught your eye, even if you didn't eat a bite, you might give it to it.

Looking around, the dazzling "sundries" were piled up without rules, like treasure mountains.

Liang Qu didn't think so much, first fishing for benefits.

He sat cross-legged on the fat catfish's head, watching all the way, dazzled, really not knowing which one to choose.

He thought he was different from the fat catfish, well-read in "poetry and books," and would definitely be able to pick out good things; the reality was completely different from his imagination.

Most of the things in the toad cave were remains, and some things couldn't even be seen what they looked like when complete.

Broken cauldron feet, stones emitting colorful light, beast horns emitting cold air, bone marrow remaining like silver frost in broken bones.

Most were corpses, vessel remains; there were few treasure plants, perhaps because treasure plants were not easy to store for demon beasts.

There were quite a few treasure fish.

In a giant shell three zhang wide, dozens of treasure fish swam back and forth.

Liang Qu reached out to touch, touched an invisible barrier, and it was this barrier that blocked the treasure fish from escaping.

Liang Qu didn't recognize any of the treasure fish breeds inside; the treasure fish breeds near the shallow water area could already be compiled into a "Treasure Fish Record."

Few people could set foot in the deep water area, let alone record the treasure fish in it into books for later generations to browse.

"Extravagant."

Liang Qu looked at a certain treasure fish, as if speaking to the fish.

Treasure fish would gradually lose their spirituality if kept in captivity, but the toad didn't seem to care at all.

"Look again, if you can't pick a good one, come over and take a treasure fish."

Liang Qu rode the fat catfish and walked inside, asking while walking if there were any secret books or such things in the stone cave.

The fat catfish shook its head; there wasn't a single book in the stone cave.

It knew the reason; the old toad liked reading very much, and all the books were with the old toad.

Old toad...

Liang Qu's mouth twitched; he had to go to the academy another day, find a few books like "Chen Feng" or "Guo Feng" to read; there were many words of praise in them.

If he could get the old toad to be submissive, maybe he could copy a few secret books out.

One person and one fish swayed around, Liang Qu passed through several metal ores, and suddenly noticed a stone block flashing with black gold light in the corner, looking quite like tungsten gold, the size of a human head; reaching out to touch, it was extremely heavy!

Observing the patterns, it was like a dragon winding.

Ink Dragon Gold!

Hiss!

Good stuff!

Ink Dragon Gold, one of the superior metals to tungsten gold!

In essence, it is the core metal formed after the tungsten gold vein experiences various changes; it is extremely difficult to obtain. The so-called Ink Dragon Gold is named because this metal has dragon-shaped patterns on it.

Besides this, there are Nine Cauldron Gold, Feather Tungsten Gold, all of which are variants of tungsten gold.

As for the formation of Ink Dragon Gold, it is speculated that dragon-attribute demon beasts need to live near the tungsten gold vein for a long time and splash blood; whether it is true or false, no one has seen the gradual change process with their own eyes.

Liang Qu hugged the stone block without any hesitation.

Just this one!

He originally wanted to choose a treasure to enhance his own strength, but since he was going to strengthen Fubo, and there happened to be a superior metal to tungsten gold, he simply took this opportunity to do it in one step and integrate the superior metal into it.

The attributes match, the difficulty of adding and molding will drop significantly; unless Liang Qu has extremely bad luck, it is impossible to fail.

Liang Qu hugged the stone block and moved toward the outside of the cave, finding that the toad was really sleeping, its belly rising and falling like a mountain, full of trust.

He turned to ask the fat catfish if he should wake it up and let it know.

The fat catfish patted its chest, indicating that he could just leave; it had face!

"Humans and frogs are different..."

Liang Qu thought for a while, and used a green wolf to carve a line of words on the ground.

"Took Ink Dragon Gold, that big."

Comparing the size of the Ink Dragon Gold, Liang Qu found a stone of similar size outside the cave and placed it next to the words, only then taking the stone block toward the dark current passage.

"Solved a hidden worry!"

Trading with the toad through the fat catfish belonged to a tacit understanding that no one would pursue, but it was hard to guarantee that it wouldn't flip over in the future.

Now that the window paper was pierced, although both sides were somewhat embarrassed, it eliminated potential hidden dangers.

Without the burden to carry, his whole body felt comfortable!

【Water-Marsh Essence +24】

Before the passage, Liang Qu looked left and right, touching his mouth.

He hadn't accidentally eaten anything strange.

2.4 Water-Marsh Essence?

Liang Qu refined the Ze Rong, and could obtain a very small amount of Water-Marsh Essence by soaking in the water every day.

Could it be...

He had been down for a total of half an hour, and had 2.4 Water-Marsh Essence?

Wouldn't that be sixty or seventy points a day?

Much higher than the one or two points a day in the shallow water area; if the old giant clam, this amplifier, was added...

Hiss!

Pity, he couldn't stay long.

He didn't have his own territory in the deep water area for the time being.

Don't know if he could buy a "property" near the frog tribe in the future?

While Liang Qu was pondering, he crossed the dark current passage, a whirlwind of heaven and earth, and successfully landed.

Surfaced.

The night was dark, and the ripples distorted the moonlight.

Departed at midnight, stayed in the deep water area for half an hour, and there was still some time before dawn.

Not in a hurry to disturb Cao Shixiong Lu who was in his dreams, Liang Qu took the Ink Dragon Gold and jumped back to the pond.

Jumped out of the underground river, the water temperature changed suddenly.

A heat wave wrapped around Liang Qu's whole body, and he could occasionally hear splashing sounds from the pond.

What's the situation?

He poked his head out.

The moonlight was hazy, and thick white mist rose in the whole courtyard, dissipating outward like milk, surging upward against the wall.

The mirage insect floated on the water surface, A-Wei lay on the mirage insect, the finless porpoise rolled in the water, and Fist controlled the direction of the golden feather with the water flow.

The beaver and otters had white towels on their foreheads, huddled by the pond, looking up at the stars.

Comfortable.

Having lived for so long, the beasts were soaking in a hot spring for the first time.

The usually monk-like Cannot-Move showed unusual vitality today, crawling on the shore, and amidst the cheers of the beasts, it moved its limbs and sprinted, approaching the water's edge, and jumped into the pond with a splash.

Waves surged, the mirage insect drifted to the center of the pond with the waves, and drifted away along the waves rolled by the finless porpoise, like a large paper boat.

The giant beaver took off the towel on its forehead and wrung it hard, water flowing with a splash.

Really lively.

The fat catfish couldn't wait to join in; it slid onto the shore with its belly, flicked its tail, and roared into the pond like a cannonball.

Liang Qu observed for a while and found that the beasts were quite smart, actually knowing how to use the Red Fire Golden Feather to control the water temperature.

If the temperature was too high, Fist would press the golden feather down, letting the underground river take away the excess heat.

If the temperature was too low, it would lift the golden feather up, away from the underground river, accumulating heat in the pond.

Old boiler worker.

Let them soak.

Liang Qu didn't take the golden feather away, letting the beasts rejoice, only telling them to be quieter, so as not to disturb the neighbors and let people see.

The next morning.

The stone curtains were still overflowing with water foam, not completely dry, and the weeds in the middle were soaked until they were listless.

The water beasts that played all night fell into a deep sleep, but were woken up by Liang Qu and temporarily headed to the Great Marsh.

The beaver and otters were sleepy-eyed and had to drag their heavy bodies away.

Before leaving, they didn't forget to look back at Liang Qu, as if he were some black-hearted landlord.

Chen hour (7-9 AM).

"Why do you insist on me coming over? So mysterious?"

"Senior brother, just come; I can't take that thing myself, it's hot to the touch."

Hot to the touch?

Lu Gang, who stepped over the threshold at Liang Qu's invitation, paused, feeling the words were familiar, but couldn't remember where he had heard them.

When he crossed the courtyard and saw the nearly boiling pond center, his pupils shrank.

"Junior brother, you this..."

Lu Gang's gaze jumped back and forth between the golden feather and Liang Qu, his words blocked in his throat halfway.

"Cao Shixiong Lu didn't see wrong, it is indeed a golden feather."

It really is a Red Fire Golden Feather!?

No, he had to slow down. ===== CHAPTER 293 =====
