Chapter 404: Another Evolution

The boat was anchored and motionless.

Water birds landed on the mast, folding their wings to rest for a while.

For the next few days, Liang Qu led the water beasts to fully excavate the Twenty Jiaoren ruins, moving good things box by box onto the boat.

The medicinal properties of herbs and pills had basically been lost after too much time had passed. Eating them was not only useless but also easy to cause stomach upset.

Porcelain, gold and silver, and ore were still useful. The big beaver gnawed on a metal ore every day, not repeating the same one, and grinned at whoever it saw.

Going out for a trip, not only gained a lot of scenery but also got endless metal ore.

Among them, the biggest harvest was still Dragon Silk and Twenty Jiaoren Silk. Giving one bolt to his master, mistress, senior brother, and senior sister was more than enough, and the birthday gifts for going to Huangzhou in the second half of the year were also settled.

It's a pity that the harvest was concentrated in the first day, excavating the hidden secret rooms in various houses and caves.

The secret rooms were dug empty, and the probability of finding good things dropped significantly, not only scattered but also low in value.

On the boat.

Liang Qu sat cross-legged, the cloud-brocade white fish swimming on his chest, his palms turning over the Twenty Jiaoren Tears excavated one by one.

【Water Essence +2456】

【Water Essence +5432】

【Water Essence +2364】

Huh?

Liang Qu's brows lifted. He picked out one from the teardrop-shaped jewelry he had absorbed before and observed it carefully.

Most of the water essence in Twenty Jiaoren Tears was around 2,500, but this one had over 5,000.

So special?

Finding the corresponding small cloth bag, Liang Qu recalled.

This Twenty Jiaoren Tear was dug out from the secret room where the Long Lingxiao was found.

Liang Qu absorbed the remaining few, and another one jumped out with over 5,000 points of water essence, comparable to a deep-water treasure fish.

Comparing the two Twenty Jiaoren Tears with others.

There was no difference in size, but in color... it seemed purer.

"The amount of water essence in Twenty Jiaoren Tears is related to the strength of the Twenty Jiaoren?"

Liang Qu's eyes flickered.

It's a pity he couldn't find a living Twenty Jiaoren to verify.

When will he unify the Great Marsh and let the Twenty Jiaoren pay tribute to Twenty Jiaoren Tears and Long Lingxiao every day?

Absorbing a plate a day, wearing a different one every day.

Liang Qu imagined a beautiful future, his hands turning the beads without stopping.

From excavation to today, a total of sixteen Twenty Jiaoren Tears were found, plus the water essence remaining after evolving "Cannot Move."

Communicating with the Inside Ze Ding.

【Ding Master: Liang Qu】

【Refined Ze Ling: Ze Rong (Deep Cyan)】

【Ze Ling Favor: Martial Path Divine Second Layer (River Lord Emperor); Ying Dragon Pattern: First Layer; Tian Wu: First Layer】

【Water Essence: 56,324 points】

The collision of the tide sound was unprecedentedly grand.

On the Ding wall, white foam flew.

Red Qi and Cyan Qi intertwined.

Liang Qu's consciousness sank. In a trance, he came to an ocean, his ears full of water sounds, fresh water vapor pouring into his lungs, moisturizing his limbs and bones, his spirit clear and empty.

After beheading the serpent, the treasure plants given by the Zhang family hadn't been eaten yet, which was at least 5,000 points of essence, totaling over 60,000.

Unprecedentedly rich.

A wave of fat.

The silver earned by a fisherman working hard to catch fish for a year is not as good as the interest earned by a bank manager rolling it for a day.

Liang Qu stepped into the Wolf Smoke realm, and with Spirit Transformation in hand, his underwater strength was comparable to Hunting Tiger completion. His capital was very thick, and the profit he could earn was naturally higher and higher.

Ordinary Wolf Smoke, how could they have the ability to deal with a serpent demon, naturally they couldn't squeeze benefits from the Zhang and Li families.

But when they truly reached Hunting Tiger, it would take three people to win and kill it. The many benefits given by the two Wolf Smoke families, after being divided, seemed sparse.

The price difference between underwater and on land is a huge profit!

Fortunately, the only one who can do this monopoly business is himself.

Noon.

Tatta Kai grabbed the rope, climbed onto the deck, handed over two Twenty Jiaoren Tears, and reported the excavation situation of the day to Liang Qu.

The last part of the ruins had all been dug out, big and small places, not a single one missed.

Hearing this, Liang Qu jumped into the water to inspect.

The fat catfish lay paralyzed on the broken bricks and tiles, looking listless.

Repetitive work is too exhausting for the spirit.

Every day is digging, digging, and digging. He also has to open his eyes wide to find the tiny Twenty Jiaoren Tears. After digging, he has to eat the bad-tasting serpent meat. Life is full of pain.

Just in time, "Cannot Move" recovered from the "cooldown."

With the Divine Wood Imprint attached, Liang Qu transformed into a white ape, and with a detailed underwater perception, there was indeed no omission.

Ten finless porpoises, plus the two families of finless porpoises and beavers, totaling twenty people.

Plus the Dragon-men and the fat catfish, three days were enough to dig three feet deep into the entire Twenty Jiaoren ruins and turn them upside down.

In front of his eyes, it was really just ruins.

Liang Qu waved his hand.

"Let's go!"

The fat catfish jumped up from the ruins.

"Cannot Move" suddenly lay down, kicking up a large cloud of dust.

The big beaver's straight spine suddenly softened and collapsed, stacking up thick belly circles.

Gnawing on wood is a hobby, and building wooden boats is tireless, but digging things is not, making the beaver tired enough.

Finally finished digging.

The finless porpoises grabbed the ropes and flipped onto the boat, impatiently steering and pulling the sails to leave the place of injury.

Water birds spread their wings and soared.

An hour later, the boat docked on the shore of the abandoned mine.

Liang Qu found Fist, who had been mining for seven or eight days in the abandoned mine, and checked the harvest.

The results were gratifying.

Three units of superior blood stone ore, sixteen units of medium blood stone ore!

It doesn't sound like much, but Liang Qu clearly remembered that Li Li Xiaoheng had told him that the "broken silver" in the abandoned mine couldn't even dig out half a unit of medium blood stone ore a day, which was quite remarkable!

Excluding what needs to be handed over, the remaining part is enough to forge at least one or two pieces of superior blood stone equipment!

Not only that, the patterns on Fist's shell also changed.

Before burying into the blood stone mine, Fist's shell was full of yellow patterns, but now there are many red patterns, looking more majestic and domineering in appearance.

"Difference in ore types? The potential is great..."

Looking from the aura, the change in Fist after being buried in the blood stone pile for seven days is much greater than before when it was buried in the pond, not only having a solid sense of security but also more sharpness.

In the 【Cave Dwelling】 state, Fist is becoming more and more super-model.

There will definitely be no opponents among ordinary spirit monsters, and it's not impossible to wrestle with individual Great Spirit Monsters with weaker innate qualities.

Staring at the patterns for a long time.

Liang Qu communicated with the Inside Ze Ding, drew out over 15,000 points of water essence from the Ding, and invested it into Fist's body.

In an instant, four rays of essence light emerged from the Inside Ze Ding.

Consciousness sank.

【Vajra Rock】, 【Evasion Camouflage】, 【Shared Weal and Woe】, 【Earth Vein Rhythm】.

Same as "Cannot Move."

Two physical enhancements, two ability enhancements.

The effect of the third item 【Shared Weal and Woe】 is to communicate with the earth veins, absorb the power of the earth, and significantly strengthen one's own attack and defense, which is not much different from the previous 【Rock】.

The fourth item is the evolved version of 【Cave Dwelling】, which perceives mineral deposits through cave dwelling, swallows mineral gold, and constantly strengthens oneself.

Whether it is range or effect, it has a considerable improvement compared to 【Cave Dwelling】.

There are many mineral veins in the world.

Besides, Liang Qu just learned how to create vortex channels.

Even if there are restrictions on distance and time, he can completely make up for it with quantity.

In the future, traveling between Pingyang and Xiangyi will be very convenient, and Fist's ability will have great potential.

The essence requirement of 18,000, Fist itself also saved 3,000.

With plenty of money in hand, life should be lived refreshingly.

Essence light bloomed, falling into Fist's body like a meteor, and a huge light cocoon took shape.

The fat catfish by the river was shocked when it saw the light cocoon, originally thinking that the second one to evolve would be itself.

Who would have thought it would be Fist!

It turned over its belly in despair. ===== CHAPTER 405 =====
