Chapter 775: Foolproof

"Coming out?"

Liang Qu's eyes lit up, he quickly turned over and dressed neatly, brought medicine and a mouthguard, prepared a small wooden box, and then pulled Long Eying's hand and jumped into the pond.

The "cannot move" resting at home flicked its tail and followed.

He had prepared for this day for more than half a year, waiting from winter to autumn, rushing from the Imperial Capital to Pingyang. It was true that he was nervous, after all, he was facing a Demon King, but when things came to a head, there wouldn't be any panic. From the fat catfish's notification to successfully arriving, it took less than half a stick of incense.

The white flow dissipated.

Two people and one crocodile landed in the algae forest.

"Frog Duke! How is the situation?"

"There's treasure!"

The old toad's gaze locked onto the distance, its frog webs firmly grasping the yellow skin bag.

Its yellow skin bag had been thirsty for a long time!

For a full half year, it had been stationed in the algae forest in front of the Sea Abyss Palace for more than half the time, don't know how much wealth it missed. It wanted to compensate fiercely!

Liang Qu followed its gaze and looked.

Empty.

A moment.

"Follow!"

The old toad kicked its frog webs and jumped out to the north with a whoosh.

Liang Qu held Long Eying's hand, and the fat catfish and cannot move followed both.

Don't know how far they swam, the Sea Abyss Palace gradually disappeared from sight, and the surrounding environment became increasingly cold and clear.

"Reincarnation point?"

Liang Qu thought.

There were too many fish in the Sea Abyss Palace. Even if the underground palace was hidden, it would be discovered if he was not careful. The Eight-Clawed King would definitely go to a fishless area.

As a result, the old toad swam halfway, suddenly froze in place, surprised and uncertain.

"Frog Duke?"

"Go back!"

The old toad discovered something and turned around to rush back.

And so.

Everyone was like being walked around, foolishly returning to the Sea Abyss Palace, only to wait for a while, the old toad ran west again, then returned to the Sea Abyss Palace, brewed a little, and returned to the north where they started.

"Can't be underestimated."

Liang Qu thought, this was the first time he saw a fish that could walk the old toad, an eye-opener.

The Dragon King must appear within two sixty-year cycles, but like the old toad, a strange species, ten sixty-year cycles might not produce one!

Demon King, extraordinary.

"Liang Qing, prepare quickly. It should be these few days, not too late."

"Frog Duke, rest assured."

Liang Qu opened the small wooden box.

Inside was a jade plaque, three small orders, and a few medicine bottles.

The jade plaque and two small orders were all given to Long Eying, leaving only one small order for himself.

"Elder?"

"You follow Frog Duke, there shouldn't be any danger. No need to use it if you don't have to, but if you really run into trouble at a critical moment, don't worry about exposure or not, saving your life is the priority. I will bear the consequences of the imperial court."

Unlike the Luan-Dian-Feng-Dao Pill, the King's strike would undoubtedly expose the participation of the imperial court's Martial Saint.

If the Eight-Clawed King didn't die, the whole event would head toward a very bad situation. Being stripped of his position and title would be considered light, so it could only be used as insurance for insurance.

Fortunately, with the old toad accompanying, the probability of an accident was very small.

"Demon King..."

"You take it, I'll be at ease, so I can concentrate."

"I will use it well!"

Long Eying accepted the jade plaque, crisp and neat.

Liang Qu opened the medicine bottle again, stuffing them into the mouthguard one by one.

Inspiration Pill, Soul-Returning Pill.

Most were pills for restoring mental power.

These two types of pills were relatively expensive. Except for Grandmasters, not many people used them, and they belonged to the lower-level drugs for Grandmasters. One pill cost more than 3,000 taels. Six pills, just over half the amount of the mouthguard, cost Liang Qu a full 20,000, and the effect was excellent. The upcoming battle didn't have high requirements for physical strength, but rather high requirements for spirit.

The remaining were three healing pills, worth more than 8,000, some blood-gas pills to help fill the stomach, and rock pills to help restrain breath, ensuring they wouldn't be discovered in advance.

Thanks to the 120,000 Eying gave, otherwise he really couldn't afford it.

Fully prepared, waiting patiently.

The fat catfish spat out black mist, assimilating the surrounding environment. Dozens of meters underground, it dug out a large cave enough to accommodate everyone. Everyone hid inside, then its long whiskers wiped, covering it completely, leaving only a narrow path leading to a small hole to observe the outside environment.

With its 【Waving Brush and Splashing Ink】 innate talent, one look couldn't see any clues.

"Catfish characteristic?"

Liang Qu had never thought about why A-Fei had a soil-wood holy body before. Thinking back carefully, it seemed many catfish liked to hide under silt?

Five days passed in a flash.

【Water Rhyme】 expanded, assimilating the surrounding environment, shielding the aura of people and beasts.

Cannot move hibernated, the fat catfish was so idle it bubbled, its two long whiskers fighting each other.

Liang Qu and Long Eying leaned back to back, the 【Sun】 in their bodies had long turned into 【Yin】.

The time required for 【Sun】 to change to 【Yin】 was relatively long, while changing back only took a quarter of an hour after separation. So maintaining the change and separating when needed was a wiser choice.

The sunset on the horizon was orange-red.

Liang Qu hoped very much that the Eight-Clawed King would act at night.

Departing at the end of September, waiting until the beginning of October, the day after tomorrow was the largest full moon of the year. The blessing at midnight was even higher than at noon!

"Liang Qing!"

"Now?"

Things went against his wishes, Liang Qu frowned.

Evening was not a good time. The sun and moon alternated, and the blessing of noon and midnight was almost non-existent.

The arrow was on the string, and had to be fired.

Stuffed into the mouthguard.

The shadow overhead suddenly covered, blocking the hole for everyone to peek outside. The whole sky suddenly fell into darkness, as if the sun had fallen straight into the sea surface.

Huge.

As huge as Toad King!

No, eight feet spread, the area covered was visually more exaggerated than the Frog King!

Almost twice as much as the Sea Shopkeeper!

Standing in front, it wasn't even as big as its eyeball!

Eight-clawed clan, females were stronger than males, but the slight differences produced by gender obviously couldn't make up for the gap in realm!

After the shadow retreated, trying his best to control the water and using 【Water Rhyme】 to restrain the fluctuations of everyone and every beast, Liang Qu finally caught a glimpse of the Eight-Clawed King's true face.

Ugly!

The Sea Shopkeeper was translucent blue all over, the surface was so smooth it could reflect a human face, like a clean and flawless blue jelly. If there was a small beast version, it could be sold as a pet for a good price.

The Eight-Clawed King was opaque brown, as if covered in age spots, and the surface had wrinkled patterns like wrinkles. It belonged to the ordinary octopus that could be seen normally, and could only be used as ingredients for teppanyaki. Without special treasure plant treatment, it probably wouldn't taste good.

Most importantly, nominally the Eight-Clawed King, actually it only had seven feet!

"On Hai Yun's body?"

The Eight-Clawed King swimming over went further and further, turning into a small black dot that could hardly be seen.

With this body size, the two sides were at least a hundred li apart.

Liang Qu lit up his golden eyes.

In the rocky beach, the Eight-Clawed King closed its tentacles, turned into a big drill, and drilled into the ground. Before it completely disappeared, its tentacles flicked, covering the hole.

"When?"

Liang Qu was greatly shocked.

He had checked the surrounding environment and found no abnormalities. Looking at it now, the Sea Shopkeeper was underground there? When did the Eight-Clawed King move it over?

Seeing the Eight-Clawed King disappear, worried that it would sneak away.

"I'm going!"

"Be careful."

"Rest assured."

Merging with Ze Ling, Liang Qu's presence in the water was extremely low. He moved personally, which was more hidden than controlling small fish.

Pushed away the rocks.

Quietly sneaked to where the Eight-Clawed King disappeared.

Liang Qu followed the cracks and drilled into the underground cave, all the way inside.

Liang Qu followed the gap and drilled into the cave, heading inward all the way.
