Chapter 492: Thin and Unkind!

~9 min read 1,620 words

Splash~

The light rain washed the vermilion scales, turning into white fine streams flowing into the Great Lake.

Water mist was hazy between heaven and earth.

The Red-Scaled stared at the red-clothed figure on the bow, as if seeing a roc bird burning with flames spreading its wings that covered the sun, watching covetously.

The gaze shifted diagonally downward, and another person stood alone on a small boat, flicking a fishing rod.

For a long time.

The Red-Scaled turned and left, disappearing into the sky.

The tense confrontation collapsed.

Xu Yuelong put away the fishing rod.

Wei Lin leaped off the bow.

Deck.

Wei Shao stepped forward quickly: "My lord, a total of one snake demon and three snake monsters were salvaged. The snake demon is about the middle level of the demon realm. Except for the snake gallbladder being removed, the head and the middle section of the waist were severely damaged, and the rest was mostly intact."

"Where is the examiner?"

A middle-aged man with a goat beard boarded the ship quickly and explained the injury results.

"The snake killer first used Explosive Spears to sneak attack, about three, then suspected of using a stick-like weapon to give a heavy blow, then engaged in close-quarters combat with the snake demon, using a pair of flesh fists to beat it to death! According to the proportion of the wounds, the attacker's palms were extremely wide, not like human hands, it should be..."

Wei Shao urged: "Should be what? Speak quickly!"

"Should be an ape demon..."

Ape demon!

Several people in the room immediately knew.

Speaking of the ape demons in the water with a background recently, it could only be that Liang Water Envoy who was hot in the Heposuo.

Xu Yuelong's die-hard, no wonder the examiner was stuttering.

Wei Shao looked at Wei Lin, his thoughts inexplicable.

Last year, Liang Qu used a scheme to trick a martial art, and he held a grudge, but after experiencing the dam collapse, the bad feeling dissipated a lot.

Still mutually disgusted, but not so uncomfortable, didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the other party was almost at his level...

"Bai Yuan..." Wei Lin snorted coldly, "It's a good dog that works hard, not living the life of a demon, but having to get entangled with humans! Don't tell me it wants the Emperor to seal it as a River Official?"

Everyone didn't dare to answer.

Another person muttered: "Three Explosive Spears... too extravagant to deal with a snake demon, but the invalid consumption of Explosive Spears is too large, and they were long ago eliminated, with inventory only stored in some places. Where did a demon beast get them? The Liang kid shouldn't be able to get them, right?"

Wei Shao lowered his head: "Sixty years ago, our dynasty and the Great Qian had multiple water battles on the Jianghuai Great Lake, with many sunken ships.

Some were salvaged ashore, some disappeared, and they must have been collected by water demons for their own use. The Bai Yuan might be one of them."

"No wonder..."

"Hoo, hoo!"

Liang Qu grabbed the snake gallbladder, floated to the water surface, gasped for breath, his whole body weak.

For a long time.

Round-Head, who swam the fastest, patted and rushed over, holding Otter-Otter-Open in his mouth.

Otter-Otter-Open's neck meat was bitten, his body bent, his tail held straight, firmly holding the Abyss Wood long bow and Dragon Spirit Gauze.

Seeing Liang Qu, he loosened his claws.

The Dragon Spirit Gauze rolled up.

Liang Qu put on his clothes and sat on Round-Head's head to meditate and recover his Qi.

A-Wei sent information that the snake demons had returned to their nest.

Afterwards, the fat catfish and Fist dragged "Cannot-Move," who was exhausted from weaving the Divine Wood Imprint, circling around, without the linked Long Binglin and Long Eying, who had searched for a long time in the agreed direction.

"My lord?"

"No harm, go back first!"

Liang Qu waved his hand and threw out the snake gallbladder.

Long Binglin caught the ink-green snake gallbladder, feeling shocked, gathered his thoughts, and didn't dare to delay for a moment.

The group passed through the pond and returned to the courtyard.

Night.

Rain drizzled, never stopping.

The courtyard stone slabs reflected the candlelight through the window.

Long Binglin and Long Eying were invited and still stayed overnight.

Approaching the Xu hour.

Chen Jiechang wore a bamboo hat and a coir raincoat, and brought two documents from the Heposuo.

It was the "Assistance Letter" drafted by Ran Zhongshi, stamped with his own official seal, and next to it were Xiang Fang Su and Ke Wenbin's.

To let the Snake clan have no excuse to cause trouble, it couldn't be Liang Qu's request alone, which would seem too deliberate, so he had to drag a few others into the water.

The snake gallbladder wine wasn't given in vain.

Building good relationships on weekdays, several people's official seals were stamped as soon as asked.

Browsing through it, confirming there was no problem, Liang Qu stamped his own Hengshui Envoy official seal, one copy in two, and handed it to the Dragon-Men.

Long Binglin kept it close to his body, not daring to be careless.

Liang Qu looked at the weather outside, the moonlight in the dark clouds was hazy, approaching the Hai hour.

"Five hundred Dragon-Men... leave fifty to go to Fengbu County to support Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe in inspecting the river channels, and the remaining four hundred or so can go back first.

Troops stationed in the forest, birds hovering without stopping, the same in the water; five hundred Dragon-Men, although not many, operating in the shallow water area will also affect the fishermen's catch, not beautiful."

Long Binglin hesitated: "My lord is benevolent. But, what if the Jiaolong sent other eyes and ears that didn't travel with the purple-scaled giant snake? If we withdraw troops now, won't it be a disaster? Aren't you guarding against the two sides meeting?"

"The purple-scaled arrived at the end of the Wu hour, and now it's approaching the Hai hour. A gap of most of the day; if there were other snake demons, even if they didn't travel together, they should have arrived long ago." Liang Qu shook his head, "Moreover, I don't need to hide it from it for a long time, just a delay of one solar period, and someone will deal with the Red Snake, and then everything will be fine."

Long Eying's eyes turned: "The snake demon is dead, the matter is not small. If the Red Snake group senses something is wrong and sends snakes back to report, what should we do?"

Liang Qu grinned.

"It doesn't dare!"

"Doesn't dare?"

"What do you two think of the Jiaolong?"

Long Binglin and Long Eying didn't think.

"Thin and unkind, just using strength to subdue others!"

"The messenger died in battle, the benefits were given, but the Bai Yuan wasn't caught, and no merit was achieved. Does it dare to go back?"

Long Binglin and Long Eying were thoughtful.

"This is one reason. The second... how can it go back? Go back with one snake demon? One is definitely not the Bai Yuan's opponent, and will likely be ambushed halfway.

If two, what about the remaining two? Can two catch the Bai Yuan? It doesn't mean much, so the Red Snake only has the choice of all returning or all not returning!"

Liang Qu could see it.

The Red-Scaled is a smart snake.

Knows how to divide, knows how to use, extremely rare.

But intelligence is often self-interested, liking to choose the approach with the greatest benefit.

If it were a brainless Jiaolong loyalist, this matter would be difficult to deal with.

"My lord's wisdom."

Long Binglin and Long Eying were no longer confused and bid farewell.

Midnight.

Five hundred Dragon-Men divided into fifty and went to Fengbu County to find Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe.

The other four hundred or so returned to the clan territory, but didn't take the vortex waterway, choosing to swim back all the way.

That passage, if it weren't for the urgent situation, they wouldn't want to take it even at a 20% discount.

After sending the order.

Long Binglin and Long Eying returned to the Liang residence.

The Elder's mission was not only to lead the Dragon-Men but also to ensure Liang Qu's safety. Before the matter was over, the two would not go back.

Garden.

Lotus leaves were green.

Long Binglin picked up a bucket of cold water and poured it over his head.

To deal with the snake demons, to prevent accidents, Long Binglin and Long Eying always restrained their aura and protected him in secret.

Liang Qu's transformation today, like the Pingjiang and Pinghe brothers, was not hidden at all.

Although Long Zong Yin repeatedly emphasized that he was not the Dragon King, seeing it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.

But looking around.

Otter-Otter-Open in his sleep assumed an Ape Fist stance, pinched his claws, muttered in his mouth, and bared his teeth.

The large river otter hugged half a piece of wood under his head, drooling all over.

The fat catfish and Round-Head huddled together and slept.

Long Binglin laughed.

"With the ability to enlighten, whether it is or isn't, there is no difference..."

East wing.

Long Eying covered herself with a thin quilt and slept on her side.

The next day.

"You giant snakes are really interesting, always making appointments to talk on the Great Lake." ===== CHAPTER 493 =====

"You big snakes are really interesting, always asking people to talk out on the Great Lake."
