Chapter 758: How Did Little Shui Become a Fish

"Hoo!"

Liang Qu spat out a mouthful of turbid air.

Blue sky and blue sea, boundless and limitless.

There was no grand feeling. With the size of the Jianghuai Great Ze, looking out at a glance was no different from the ocean at all, except that the water was saltier and the wind was fishier, not as comfortable and refreshing as soaking in the Jianghuai Great Ze.

But the difference wasn't big.

Becoming a small spirit monster meant having adaptability to seawater and freshwater. Just changing the environment made him a bit unaccustomed.

He took out the compass and map to calibrate the direction.

The old toad looked around. Its two webbed feet subconsciously stepped on the water surface. Going on such a long journey, without a soft mount under its butt, it always felt empty.

And running too fast, many things didn't have time to be collected, only filling half a yellow skin bag.

Liang Qu controlled the vortex to support an invisible seat for the old toad.

One person and one frog chatted while walking.

"Has Frog Duke been to the ocean before?"

"Often came when the Dragon Lord was there, didn't come out much when the Dragon Lord was gone. The Iron-Head fish loved to collect road tolls, taking thirty percent of whatever prey was caught! This evil beast, many unrighteous acts will lead to self-destruction! Coming from the sea, not letting frogs go to the sea!" The old toad waved its webbed feet, filled with righteous indignation.

Liang Qu condemned it for a while: "Are there any famous strongmen in the ocean?"

"Yes, Whale Emperor, Demon Emperor."

"Demon Emperor?" Liang Qu's eyes flashed. "Is it a Furnace strongman?"

"According to your human saying, yes. In the past, the Dragon Lord invited the Whale Emperor for his birthday. It didn't look big at the time, a hundred-zhang-long whale. It is said that its true body can be thousands of miles long and can turn into a roc. I don't know if it's true or false."

"Are there any others?"

"No more. In my impression, I only know the Whale Emperor. Maybe there are others in further places. Oh, your merchant fleet, the Shark and Octopus ones, although the Whale Emperor doesn't care, the two Demon Kings pay tribute every year, like you humans paying taxes."

"Actually like this?" Liang Qu worried. "We are going to do it now, will it..."

"What are you afraid of!" The old toad patted its belly, fearless. "The Eight-Claw fish's family affairs, what does the Whale Emperor have to manage? And the Whale Emperor is quite easy to talk to, hasn't taken action for many years."

Quite easy to talk to...

You saw it once at the Dragon Lord's birthday banquet, two Furnaces talking, of course it's easy to talk to.

Liang Qu didn't argue, buried his head and hurried on.

Another ten days passed.

Mid-January.

According to the map left by the Sea Hai Fangzhu, one person and one frog successfully found the sea merchant's base camp.

"This is the Sea Abyss Palace?"

The vortex waterway rotated slowly. Liang Qu moved his mind to close it, hid with the old toad in the waterweed cluster, and lay on the seabed cliff to watch quietly.

The entire water area was covered with several-zhang-high clear waterweeds. Their characteristic was strong cleaning ability. Planting a crop could clean more than an acre of water area, making the visibility nearby very high, and one couldn't feel it was at the bottom of the water at all.

And the so-called palace was actually built against a majestic underwater mountain, without walls or bricks, all pitch-black large holes.

Perhaps born with a large size, all the water beasts' buildings were rough, and the half where the Sharks were was better, with the shadow of real buildings.

Sharks and octopuses moved in and out of caves of different sizes scattered like a maze. Under the majestic mountain, there was a market, with four wide long roads in the southeast, northwest.

Outside the market, giant crabs and salamanders crawled, stretching into groups.

From time to time, Shark and octopus teams roared out. Although it was only the force of two Demon Kings, it was a prosperous scene of a water clan base camp.

"I thought what Sea Abyss Palace, just caves, not as good as the Long Gong." The old toad showed disdain, straightened its belly. "Wait for the King to break into the Long Gong and kill the Dragon, this Duke will take Liang Qing to appreciate the Long Gong style, specifically allowing you and that little girl to get married in the side hall."

Liang Qu smiled awkwardly twice.

"Thank you Frog Duke for your love."

Circling the entire Sea Abyss Palace to observe the situation, Liang Qu untied a large cloth bag from his waist.

"Frog Duke, how is it? Any chance?"

"No, no." The old toad shook its cheeks. "Wait a while, wait a while, it feels not quite right."

"Frog Duke?"

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious."

Every half an hour, Liang Qu asked once, until it was dark.

The bottom of the water gradually became quiet.

The old toad was quite uncertain: "Seems okay? Want to try?"

"Okay!"

Liang Qu immediately opened the small bag, lit up his burning golden eyes, and more than a hundred thorn-fin fish swam out. Before they could escape, they were all 【Strongly Controlled】.

More than a hundred vague spiritual links were born.

Liang Qu gave an order, and the thorn-fin fish stuck to the bottom of the water and went to the Sea Abyss Palace, drilling into various caves.

These were caught nearby, very inconspicuous small sea fish.

A thorn-fin fish was only the size of a small finger, specifically helping large fish clean. Some demon beasts would even take the initiative to restrain their aura and let the small fish pick their teeth. It was the best for reconnaissance, and no Shark or octopus would care.

Watching the thorn-fin fish lined up neatly, the old toad showed surprise.

"What means is this Liang Qing? Why do small fish listen to you?"

A fish's brain was not as big as its claw toe, yet it could understand human language and orders?

"Every inch has its strengths. This is the skill I rely on to eat. Frog Duke, don't mind it. Just like you can see through the secrets of heaven, I am a loyal minister of the Frog clan, so my skills are your skills."

"Liang Qing's words are reasonable."

While the person and frog were talking, the thorn-fin fish had long ago drilled into various parts of the Sea Abyss Palace.

Liang Qu built a topographic map in his mind quickly according to the position of each fish. Sometimes he couldn't remember it well, so he let the same fish swim around a few times, and the structure of the entire Sea Abyss Palace gradually emerged clearly and completely in his mind.

The 【Strong Control】 after the upgrade of the Golden Eye control was really not bad. Although it could only control some small fish, it could be discarded at any time and had the same effect as normal control.

Midnight.

"Feels not quite right again."

Liang Qu's spirit tightened, and he immediately cut off all small fish links.

In the Sea Abyss Palace.

The originally purposeful and spiritual small fish were stunned for a while, swimming around, no different from straying in.

Until dawn.

"Okay again."

Liang Qu held the new bag of small fish and 【Strongly Controlled】 them again.

Batch after batch of consumables were invested.

After using five or six waves in a row, for three full days, although Liang Qu had never been to the Sea Abyss Palace, he was like returning home, gradually exploring deeper into the Sea Abyss Palace.

Among them, a lucky one buried its head and went inside, not knowing how many small paths it had drilled through, and the space in front of it suddenly widened.

Clatter.

In the pitch-black deep underground, iron chains moved.

The Sea Hai Fangzhu waved her tentacles, her whiskers groping the transparent barrier in front of her, sighing in her heart.

Don't know if Little Shui received the slip of paper...

Just at this time.

A thorn-fin fish broke through the darkness and came to the front of the barrier with the breath of freedom.

The Sea Hai Fangzhu was surprised, her whiskers sticking to the barrier.

This small fish actually didn't fear the pressure of many water beasts and came all the way to the deepest part of the Sea Abyss Palace?

"Maybe it's lucky?"

The Sea Hai Fangzhu thought, she waved her tentacles and patted lightly, intending to scare the little guy who came hard, but the small fish actually swam in strange trajectories in front of her.

The Sea Hai Fangzhu couldn't help but be stunned.

Seeing this, the small fish swam again.

Following the trajectory of the fish, the Sea Hai Fangzhu's tentacles followed and slid. The two characters "Little Shui" gradually emerged clearly in the Sea Hai Fangzhu's eyes. She raised her hand to cover her mouth.

"Are you Little Shui?"

The small fish paused instantly and nodded repeatedly.

The Sea Hai Fangzhu was shocked. The iron chains on her head rang incessantly. She swam constantly in the fully transparent large square box, observing the small fish up and down.

Hesitating for a long time.

"Little Shui, how did you become a fish? Were you harmed by the Eight-Claw King?"

"?"
