Chapter 580

Round Head, who was always steady, half-raised its body, eyes squinting with undisguised contempt.

The Fatty Catfish felt life was meaningless.

Liang Qu sighed.

Even a loan-shark fish was encountered.

Was it easy to take things from the old toad?

Even he had to use all his strength to earn a few big fish.

"Let's go by what was counted this morning." Liang Qu tapped the register. "Ah Fei, Round Head, you are tied for first place. Let this be the last time."

The Fatty Catfish went to the frog clan and the dragon clan every day to mooch food and drink, accumulating quite a bit, and the snake gallbladders left behind earlier were all eaten by the water beasts.

Evolving together, the water essence only needed a little over thirty thousand.

Not much.

From the Water Ape to the Water King Ape, the number of essences dropped to fifty thousand.

After that, with lotus seeds for supplementation and daily absorption, it returned to nearly eighty thousand, more than enough.

The Fatty Catfish breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking of Round Head evolving made it very sad, but thinking that it was the same made it feel much better.

Half an hour later.

The old toad emerged from the water, soaking wet, dropped two bulging leather bags, and proudly puffed out his round belly.

"Eighty-nine! All with wooden tags! Count them!"

*Whoosh. *

The water beasts were shocked.

When they were squatting and guarding to count fish, and catching fish for nearly two days and three nights, it was only a hundred or so.

In half a day, the old toad actually harvested nearly a hundred!

No.

Round Head glanced at the Fatty Catfish.

Plus eighteen.

Over a hundred!

"If not for a genius with divine talent, who could achieve this merit? Relying on the precious power of the earth, you are as pure as the vast sky. Today, Liang has won first place, all relying on the might of Frog Elder!"

Liang Qu was convinced.

The old toad put his webbed feet on his waist, his round belly glowing, fully displaying the demeanor of a Treasure Toad!

A professional frog does professional things.

Liang Qu's ability to catch spirit fish was like heaven and earth compared to other hunters, but compared to the old toad, he was still inferior.

Now they were all caught.

The total number of prey exceeded six hundred and fifty, with two-thirds in his pocket!

Who else?

……

"Brother Zhu, why not join us? That kid must have over five hundred spirit items! Enough to sweep the top three! The power of that spear earlier was so terrifying, it definitely cannot be used many times!"

Chi Ang and Xu Jiangming invited him earnestly.

However, no matter how they tried to persuade him, Zhu Zongwang refused to agree, and Huo Hongyuan remained silent throughout.

Just kidding.

Since he had probed the root cause of the change in his fate, nine times out of ten it was because of Liang Qu, so how could he deliberately oppose him and sour the relationship?

He hadn't even thought clearly about how to handle it next.

Seeing Zhu Zongwang was as stubborn as a mule.

Chi Ang and Xu Jiangming were helpless and had to give up persuading him, going to find Liang Qu themselves, hoping to find him before the hunt ended.

……

A certain guard post.

"A guard post can hold for five hours. There are only three hours left until the hunt ends. If I deposit now, can I settle the score directly?"

The guard post martial artist looked embarrassed.

Since night fell today, more than one person had come to ask this question.

"Sorry, Lord Liang, the rule is that in the last five and a half hours, you cannot deposit anymore."

"Alright."

Liang Qu was quite disappointed; he thought he had discovered a loophole in the rules and could end the competition directly.

A huge sum of over six hundred spirit items.

Chi Ang and Xu Jiangming were probably looking for him all over Chiling.

Time to slip away.

He couldn't stop for even a moment; the duck in his hand must not fly away.

Chishan raised its hooves.

"Slow down, my lord!"

Zheng Rusheng and Liu Shouping were escorting Zhao Xueyuan, carrying sacks, panting.

Liang Qu had a horse, but they didn't; they had been walking for a day and a night on their two legs.

"After today, four spirit items per person!"

"Don't worry, my lord, ride your horse. When I was young, I followed my grandfather up the mountain to hunt. Even if I lose the trail, I can still catch up!"

Zheng Rusheng looked sideways in surprise; Liu Shouping had a hunter grandfather?

Time passed bit by bit.

Seeing that dawn was approaching, the battle situation in Chishan Ridge became increasingly intense.

"Strange, why can't I catch any fish."

Many martial artists who were empty-handed and making a final struggle walked barefoot into the river, attempting to touch a few spirit fish.

As a result, spirit deer, spirit birds, and spirit fish all seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

The first two were still understandable.

The hardest-to-catch spirit fish should have some left.

*Gurgle. *

The old toad silently spat bubbles.

*Slurp. *

Half a fish tail went down.

"Oh my, why are those two running to the south? The people are in the north!"

The people on the mountain watched anxiously, wishing they could take their place.

They thought that after the two recovered, there would be a final battle, and the true first place was still in suspense.

Who would have thought that the routes of Chi Ang, Xu Jiangming, and Liang Qu were completely opposite, running further and further away, with no hope of meeting at all!

"First place is really decided this year. Strange, 668, nearly 900 are almost caught."

"In previous years, the top three caught seven or eight percent; this year, the first place took it all."

"It's considered normal, because the first place robbed the top three, hahaha."

"Let's go, let's go, go back and catch up on sleep. There's nothing to see. The Tail Fire Tiger isn't moving, and the two people can't be found."

The crowd dispersed in twos and threes.

"Teacher's wife, go back and rest." Lu Gang advised. "I'll call you if there's a situation."

"That's right, Junior Brother is clever. How could he let others snatch what's in his hand?" Yang Xu laughed.

For two days and three nights, the few of them really watched a good show on the mountaintop, only catching a few short naps.

"I am a bit tired."

Xu Shi covered her mouth and yawned, returning to the tent to rest.

Until dawn broke.

Violent gongs and drums echoed around Chiling.

For a time, countless wails resounded through the sky.

The overall situation was settled!

The guard post martial artists all over Chishan Ridge beat gongs and shouted, telling the martial artists participating in the hunt to move closer to the guard posts and not to snatch anymore.

"Damn it!"

Chi Ang slashed down several big trees with one blade. He only had thirty or so prey in his hand; counting Xu Jiangming's, it was only seventy. He couldn't even guarantee whether he could get second or third place.

Half an hour later.

Countless people looked forward to it, shoulder to shoulder.

On the market.

All the boards were replaced with new ones, moved by servants and set up, arranged from top to bottom according to the ranking.

First place: Liang Qu, 442 points.

Second place: Xu Lijie, 300...

Third place: Xu Hengyun, 300...

Fourth place: Xu Yuansong, 300...

There was an uproar.

Up to the top six, the boards were all Xu family members, even Xu family members they hadn't heard of much.

Look at the first place score again.

Why is it only 400-something?

With over 600 prey, the score should be at least over 2,000!

Inside Chiling.

"Everyone, thank you!"

Liang Qu cupped his fists.

"No problem, it's best if we can help Brother Liang. Brother Liang eats meat, and we follow to drink some soup!"

The Xu family disciples responded one after another.

There was really too much prey, so much that even if they were dispersed, sweeping the top five was no problem.

Liang Qu initially wanted his own junior brothers to sweep it, but then he had a second thought.

It invites hatred.

A strong dragon does not suppress the local snake.

After all, they were outsiders.

If he took first place by his own ability and then let his junior brothers eat all the benefits, it would easily offend the public.

It would be better to find a group of Xu family disciples with close relationships, let the Xu family share the glory, and then distribute a portion of the benefits from the corresponding rankings so that everyone could eat.

Dragon and snake win together!

*Slap! *

The onlookers stared at the boards, not yet recovered.

The gavel slapped the table.

"Three blades and two swords suppress Chiling, one spear shakes the universe!"

The storyteller sang with modulation.
