Chapter 400

The Li family was quick, and the next day they sent people to clear out a depleted mine.

Surrounded by mountains on three sides and leaning against the marsh on one side, it was very hidden.

The people still mining inside were refunded their money, and those who wanted to continue mining for the past period were issued certificates. The overbearing behavior made the martial artists who came to try their luck angry but dare not speak.

Liang Qu followed the servant to the mine entrance, looked around, decided on this place, and told the servant to leave quickly.

The grass swayed.

Confirming there was no one around, Liang Qu sat cross-legged.

A quarter of an hour later, a huge crab more than two meters high crawled out from the water, its back full of yellow patterns looking fierce and extraordinary, glowing with the luster of refined steel under the sunlight.

Liang Qu picked up a stone with a few red patterns.

"One cut poor, one cut rich, Fist, it's up to you!"

Fist tapped its iron pincers, emitting the sound of clashing metal.

Bearing a heavy responsibility, it moved its eight feet, entered the deepest part of the mine pit, dug out another passage, entered the mountain body, and officially 【Cave Dwelling】.

Seeing Fist enter the state, Liang Qu threw away the ore in his hand, came to the side of the Great Marsh, and jumped in.

Everything on the shore was arranged, and the next step was the big show—the Jiaoren ruins!

This meal of dumplings was wrapped just for the vinegar!

Sunlight pierced through the water area, scattering into linear light pillars, casting surging blue light on Liang Qu.

Looking around, scattered small fish swam.

The giant snake coiled for three months, releasing its aura without cover, scaring away almost all the fish nearby.

Only one day had passed, and the nearby water area had not yet fully recovered its vitality.

Liang Qu bloomed his golden eyes and swam all the way.

Wherever he went, he controlled.

All the small fish met the golden light, their tails trembled, and immediately surged in all directions, launching a carpet-style search.

Without unification, opening wisdom, the instructions that small fish can understand are very shallow, but it does not hinder the search for the Jiaoren ruins.

The True Dragon passed away no more than a hundred years ago. Even if the world has changed, it won't be completely covered up.

Letting small fish look for a "relatively large area with different terrain" is still doable.

Lianshui County.

The boat keeper picked up a fried peanut, threw it into his mouth to savor the taste, looked up and caught a glimpse of the cooking smoke rising from the official boat, feeling strange.

It had been several days, and every meal time, cooking smoke would rise from the boat, obviously there were people on this official boat.

But for so many days, he had never seen anyone come down from the boat.

Such a big boat, at least four or five boatmen would be needed to sail steadily, there must be men inside.

Being men, they should at least go to the Happy Forest, right?

Is the discipline on the boat actually this good?

The boat keeper recalled the young man he met earlier, touched the silver in his bosom, and felt awe.

Even the subordinates are like this, it must be a good official!

On the deck.

The big beaver slapped the ground with its flat tail, hugged a piece of metal ore and gnawed on it. A little metal powder flew everywhere, dyeing its chest with a layer of white powder.

This made Tatta Kai quite annoyed, and it had to repeatedly send out river otters to patiently clean up the powder that fell into the wooden board gaps with a broom.

It secretly swore in its heart that when they meet again, it must let the Heavenly God issue an order that from now on, beavers cannot gnaw ore on the deck!

While Tatta Kai was fuming, it didn't forget to flip the grilled fish in its hand, took out the seasoning box and was about to sprinkle salt, when a message came from the spiritual link.

After a few breaths, a distant sharp whistle spread throughout the entire official boat.

The anchored boat woke up from its dream.

Several river otters rushed out from the rooms and went to their posts to perform their duties.

Two small river otters crawled on all fours, flashed past the kitchen door, but ended up retreating not long after, drooling over the grilled fish inside.

Tatta Kai couldn't care about the heat, bit the grilled fish and rushed out of the kitchen, gave the two small river otters two violent knocks, grabbed them by the back of their necks and threw them onto the boat post, then quickly climbed up the mast, gnawing on the grilled fish while issuing one order after another.

Plop!

The peanut rolled down.

The boat keeper looked at the big river otter on the mast, dumbfounded.

Strange, no wonder they don't need to get off the boat to find women......

Sensing the gaze, Tatta Kai put its five claws together, made a standard water-man salute, and turned to continue issuing orders.

The anchor was lifted, and the bamboo pole supported the water.

The big boat slid out of the boat dock. After leaving the pier and entering the deep water area, the sails opened with a rustle, catching the mighty river wind, pushing the boat to accelerate slowly.

The cool river wind hit his face, dispelling the heat of late April.

The big beaver patted the powder on its chest clean, put the half-gnawed metal ore into its small wooden box, came to the bow of the boat, opened its arms, and its fur flew.

How pleasant!

Noon.

Liang Qu controlled over ten thousand small fish, took the opportunity to let Tatta Kai drive the official boat to Xiangyi County, returned to the shore, took large pieces of snake meat, placed them in front of the fat catfish and other beasts, and let them eat to their heart's content, until they were full!

Facing the snake demon meat, the fat catfish touched it with its fins, looking troubled.

After hesitating for a long time, it closed its eyes, tore off a piece of snake meat, and swallowed it without chewing.

The water essence contained in water beasts is far inferior to treasure fish. A piece of meat of the same size not only takes up stomach space, but the water essence obtained is also less, which is just winning by quantity.

But this is not important!

The key is that the snake demon's corpse is contaminated with its own poison!

During the fight, a large area of poisonous mist permeated underwater. Liang Qu couldn't avoid getting some on him. The snake demon itself was so huge, so it had even more.

Especially the wound caused by the Bursting Spear on its waist, which only had a layer of meat film left, and was completely torn in the later battle, with poisonous water backflowing, comparable to brine used to pickle meat, it was marinated!

The more you eat, the more your stomach hurts.

It didn't taste good either, it was like eating and pooping at the same time.

Never had a meal made the fat catfish feel so uncomfortable.

But thinking of "Cannot Move's" huge size, it endured the abdominal pain and swallowed with tears in its eyes.

The fat catfish was like this, and "Cannot Move," Round Head and other beasts were not much better, eating with distorted faces and feeling uncomfortable all over.

The only one who adapted was A-Wei, who had good poison resistance, sucked snake blood fiercely, its abdomen bulging, and after a burp, it shriveled back, continuing to suck fiercely.

As for Liang Qu, after sending a piece that belonged to it to Fist, he politely declined the remaining snake meat.

It was dry and woody, and after being contaminated with poison, it was slightly smelly, and it didn't taste good no matter how you cooked it.

He chose to go to the restaurant.

After the banquet yesterday, the Zhang family sent another batch of water-attribute treasure plants, plus five thousand taels of silver, as a reward after the fact.

The Li family did the same, but didn't send treasure plants, sending a total of ten thousand taels of silver!

With the snake demon dead, there was no need for the two families to give benefits anymore.

They weren't stingy, it was all about the big picture.

Who knows if there will be other fish demons or grass demons making trouble in the future?

Buttering up the "future high official" of the River Office can't be wrong.

Hugging the Buddha's feet temporarily is not advisable.

Sending it now is a reward; if there is trouble in the future, you won't even have a chance to send it.

In this way, the wealth accumulated in Liang Qu's hands suddenly increased to a huge sum of twenty thousand taels!

Going to a few restaurants is just a drop in the bucket.

After eating, Liang Qu rinsed his mouth with tea, let the waiter wipe the table clean, spread white cloth, brought the inkstone, and wrote the booklet on the spot, sorting out the matter from beginning to end.

It was so leisurely until noon on the third day, April 20th.

The snake demon's skeleton was finally completely dismantled by the Zhang family, the snake skin organized, and the snake bones refined.

Countless small fish exploring the Great Marsh also sent back a reply.
