Chapter 983: Extortion and blackmail

White jade scattered.

The water beasts all surrounded them, big heads topping big heads.

The river otter and beaver families threaded through the pillar-like thighs.

The fat catfish was proud, one hand behind its back, one hand stroking its long whiskers, looking up at the sky at forty-five degrees, not knowing who it learned this foreign style from.

"Oh no!" the little Xiao Xiao Shenlong clutched its head and wailed.

Silly fish has silly luck.

This silly goods, Fatty, has made a contribution again!

*Clatter clatter. *

Fragments collided.

Liang Qu simply flipped through the wooden box.

All are Han white jade.

Han white jade is not jade; it is marble. The broken pieces are completely worthless, but the things are worthless, and the prospects are broad. Han white jade is the main component of the Immortal Island buildings!

Heavenly Water Morning Dew Canyon, there is a high probability that there are truly Immortal Palace fragments!

"A-Fei, you did a good job!"

The fat catfish grinned. It swung its buttocks, pushed away the watching Golden-Haired Tiger and Cannot Move, secretly took out a small gourd from its waist, opened the gourd, there was water inside, and a pool of black liquid sank in the water, with distinct layers.

"This is—"

"Youlan Iron?" Long Eying, who had just returned from the prefecture, was surprised.

"Does the Madam recognize it?"

"Hmm, it is also a semi-spiritual material. The Second Elder's weapon was forged with Youlan Iron—"

Long Eying took the small gourd and injected Qi machine.

Accompanied by the words, the black liquid inside flowed out automatically. Not much, only two thumbs big, pitifully little. It changed into various forms in her palm. Occasionally, at a certain angle, the black water would glow blue.

Youlan Iron.

A strange metal in the water. In the water, it is completely a pool of liquid, which can change its form and harden according to the user's intention. The more Qi and blood injected, the harder it becomes. And once it leaves the water body for more than three days, it will self-harden. To liquefy again requires a long time of soaking.

"Is there such a magical metal in the Jianghuai Great Marsh?" Liang Qu took the black water. His Long Lingxiao needed metal reinforcement. Originally, he wanted to seek the Frog to exchange for more Vast Sea Blue Gold, but now there seemed to be other choices. "A-Fei, did you dig it out?"

The fat catfish flicked its cheeks, then stroked its long whiskers again, full of pride.

Nearly two months ago, it led the Great Huai Army miscellaneous soldiers, responsible for dredging the Morning Dew Canyon, digging out Han white jade fragments. Immediately, it mobilized big fish to dig deep.

The nearby fragments were dug more and more. After confirming the situation, it reported it immediately and received many rewards.

Rewards?

Hearing halfway, Liang Qu communicated with the Ze Ding.

【Can consume 420,000 Water-Ze Essence to evolve Tiger Flood Catfish into Ink Tiger Flood Catfish.】

*Hiss! *

Fast!

A few months ago, it was 510,000. Looking at it this time, it was 90,000 less!

A-Fei is afraid it is the first Great Demon under his command!

Inside the beast group, the hedgehog turned its eyeballs around. Suddenly feeling a gaze, it raised its head, and sure enough, it was the little hut dragon again. It hurriedly smiled to please, raised its buttocks, and handed over fruits.

"Hmph!" The little Xiao Xiao Shenlong exhaled from its nostrils, picked a fruit, and ignored it.

*Pfft~*

The hedgehog curled its lips.

"Hmm?"

The hedgehog smiled again.

After the reward, the scale of the fish digging the canyon under the fat catfish increased sharply, rising to thousands of spirit monsters. Even monsters of the same level had more than a dozen listening to its orders. In two months, there was some iron ore output, all worthless, until a few days ago, a spirit monster dug out Youlan Iron.

"Did you embezzle it?" Liang Qu guessed.

The fat catfish held up its index finger and thumb.

A little bit.

It saw at a glance that the black water was extraordinary, embezzled two-thirds, handed over one-third, and gave two small treasure fish to dismiss the spirit monster that dug it out.

Originally, the fat catfish wanted to embezzle it all, but after thinking about it, for two months, it spent fish power and material resources, only digging up scrap copper and rotten iron. It didn't look like a profit. It should give the Great Huai Army some sweetness.

Sure enough.

On the day it handed over the Youlan Iron, the fat catfish not only got a reward, but the mining army added three hundred more!

"Great stupidity is wisdom!" the little Xiao Xiao Shenlong exclaimed.

"Hmph, stupid worm! Stupid worm! Blind eyes! Fish eyes mixed with pearls! Old clam produces pearls!"

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

"Pfft pfft pfft~"

The fat catfish crossed its arms, tilted its mouth to look at the sky, its eyeballs secretly looking down. Taking advantage of the little Xiao Xiao Shenlong's inattention, it opened its mouth to spit out black mist. But how could the little Xiao Xiao Shenlong not know Fatty's idea? It was prepared early, a backflip, spitting out a Geng Metal Mirage Tiger from its mouth, tearing the black mist to pieces.

The black and white duo were about to fight again.

"A-Fei."

Long Eying reached out, and the fat catfish lowered its head happily.

*Pat pat. *

After hearing the ins and outs, Liang Qu was amazed.

Bold and black-hearted.

Natural talent!

First there was embezzling the fist essence of its own brothers, then there was cheating the miscellaneous soldiers of the Great Huai Army. A-Fei has very excellent talent in extortion and blackmail!

Although the two-finger Youlan Iron is not much.

Thinking about it.

Allocate 20,000 essence.

【Can consume 400,000—...】

【Water-Ze Essence: 251,100】

"Keep up the good work, continue digging in Morning Dew Canyon, and there will be heavy rewards."

"Wuhu, Heavenly God! Heavenly God!"

The fat catfish held the coral hammer high, twisted its waist, swayed left and right, and its whole body meat waves shook.

Youlan Iron circled around its fingertips.

*Splash. *

Liang Qu threw it back into the clear water of the gourd.

Last time the Long Lingxiao absorbed Vast Sea Blue Gold, it was the transformation of Ze Spirit, and it was the node of surging Qi and blood nurturing. Now that the base has grown, the node when promoting to Grandmaster should be enough to cooperate with the great merit resources, and it won't be too far away.

"Alright, A-Fei, pack up your things, Third Prince, call Huai Kong, tell Master and Senior Brother,

let's set off West!"

With an order, the majestic water beasts carried baskets to the pier, making the villagers spray in wonder.

*Splash. *

Big fish entered the water, treasure boat left the port.

Vortex waterways were built one by one.

In his spare time, Liang Qu flipped through the great merit exchange book.

Traveling West all the way, passing through Southern Zhili, it was just right to exchange for some treasures.

Summer passed and autumn came, and winter was approaching.

He didn't feel much warmth, and summer had already left.

Bai Mingzhe looked at the Snow Mountain again.

Looking in September, the Ice Mirror snow line was the highest in the year, like a young girl lifting her skirt, exploring her snow-white feet into the Blue Lake to irrigate and wash. Looking again in November, the skirt was put down again, the beautiful scene disappeared without a trace, and the weather brought a few points of desolation.

More than two months.

The three people didn't have any outrageous actions, just trying hard to learn the dialect, getting along well with the locals, and occasionally going out to inquire about news.

"Another group?"

Bai Mingzhe guessed.

In the few years, the Imperial Court sent many people. Some stayed in Hantai Prefecture, some crossed the Blue Lake to the other side. If the few waves of people were the same group, there was no need for this. Connecting with the previous companions and exchanging information was enough.

Wherever there is a force, there must be a mountain head.

The interests between mountain heads will never be exactly the same.

The Bai family is also not of one piece. As a mixed-race, there are those who are close to and admire the Great Shun, and there are those who have their own ideas, worshiping the Lotus Sect of the Great Snow Mountain.

Interests are different, so they naturally won't trust each other 100%. It is very normal to send their own subordinates to explore separately.

Only one's own people can be trusted.

Southern Zhili accent.

Mountain heads are mostly high officials from the same hometown.

I don't know which big official in Southern Zhili these three people belong to?

"Should be here soon."

Bai Mingzhe calculated.

The three are all hardworking people. With effort, the dialect is gradually maturing. Calculating by this speed, the true experts in the "mountain head" will arrive within this year.

*Pfft! *

Ripples splashed.

The fish hook pierced the water surface, rippling, and slowly sank.

Outside a village in Blue Lake, a short-haired middle-aged man sat on a rock, fishing with a rod. ===== CHAPTER 984 =====
