Chapter 124 Undercurrent Channel
Liang Qu was thinking about how to exchange good things from Ah Fei's big brother Toad.
If it's just a ship model, the problem becomes simple. There's no need to consider actual sailing. Sea ships and river ships can be made, and battleships are not a problem at all.
Mix it up with some other things and see if Toad is interested.
There is another point that Liang Qu is very concerned about.
undercurrent
A naturally formed two-way channel that allows you to go forward and back?
The possibility is too small.
Liang Qu thought of the legendary Demon Court and suspected that the undercurrent was some kind of path created by the legendary Demon Court. But according to Fat Catfish's retelling, even a big demon like Toad was unaware of it, which seemed inconsistent.
No matter how high the status of the Demon Court is, it is impossible that even the Toad Demon cannot join and become a marginal figure, right?
If this is the case, then wouldn't all the monsters in the Monster Court be at the level of Yaolong Martial Saint?
The possibility is as small as that the undercurrent is naturally formed, no, even smaller.
If the Demon Court has this much power, it shouldn't be Dashun that rules the world, or even humans.
Maybe it is a relic left behind by some force?
The former undercurrent channel might be able to do more than just transport goblins.
The world is so big, and there are so many unknown places.
Liang Qu saw from the corner of his eye that the fat catfish had eaten all the sturgeon meat, and took out the dragon tendon wrapped in fish skin from his arms.
One beast, one foot long. He had tasted the portion of Tianshui centipede at home before, and he brought the remaining three beasts here.
"Line up, open your mouth."
The three beasts floated on the water, standing in a row around the black-sailed boat, with their mouths wide open, in an orderly manner.
Seeing that there was no one around, Liang Qu opened the fish skin bag at lightning speed and threw the three pieces of dragon tendons into the mouths of the three beasts.
The three beasts ate the dragon tendons without chewing them. They swallowed them all before the dragon's breath dissipated.
It was the first time I ate such a delicious thing. The taste was ordinary, but the life essence contained in it was extraordinary. After grinding and digesting, it flowed continuously to every part of my body, which was extremely comfortable.
The three beasts rolled around in the water excitedly, and the foam surged and rolled endlessly.
After a few moments, Liang Qu felt the breath of the three beasts. There was no breath of dragon, but the power was a little stronger.
It was originally a "fake" dragon tendon grown from a piece of broken bone. The whole tendon was more than eleven feet long. One foot of it was taken and swallowed. It could produce the aura of a dragon. It was too outrageous.
However, the water essence contributes a lot. There are nearly 400 points of water essence in one foot. The progress bar of 1,500 of the three beasts has accumulated more than half. If they eat the sturgeon king meat twice more, they can evolve for the second time.
Liang Qu stood up and took off his shirt.
"A Fei, lead the way. Let me see what the undercurrent is."
Ah Fei turned over and dived, taking the lead.
Liang Qu and the other three beasts followed closely behind.
The Jianghuai River was rippling with waves. Two hundred-meter-long ships cut through the waves and slowly sailed towards Pingyang County, dragging a series of "long tails" behind them.
Large ships of different sizes and styles followed the tower ship, with gangplanks connected to each other, sails inflated, and nimble warriors shuttling back and forth. When they left, they held purses in their hands, and when they came back, they had two jars of fine wine under their arms.
This is a huge fleet with over 10,000 people, including merchant ships, warships and even pleasure boats. It is simply a mobile market town on the sea.
Looking down into the river, one could see the white backs of porpoises, but no one felt scared.
There were as many as a hundred porpoises with a body length of more than five meters guarding the fleet. Whenever they encountered a monster, they would rush forward, tear it apart, eat it up, and leave only surging blood.
A kind-hearted boatman threw out a bag of copper coins, bought a whole basket of big fish from the fishing boat, and poured it into the river.
The porpoises opened their mouths wide to swallow the whole big fish, stood up and splashed the water, and the onlookers cheered. The porpoise is the most successfully domesticated monster in the river, and its status in the river is comparable to that of horses on land. Hundreds of porpoises, led by the leader, can easily fight monsters.
This is also the reason why merchant ships gather around the tower ship. As long as they get the consent of the river and lake officials, they can follow the tower ship for protection, save a huge amount of money to buy monster-repelling ointment, and sail safely on the Jiang and Huai rivers without having to worry about monsters attacking and losing all their money.
On the ship, the armored guards jumped from one ship to another, shouting people's names, but to no avail. They had no choice but to return to the ship, clasped their fists and bowed to the man who was looking out over the railing, full of apology.
Ran Zhongshi sighed: "My elder brother is missing again? Has my younger sister looked for him?"
The guard lowered his head and said, "I'm ashamed. I searched all the nearby ships but couldn't find Xu Tiling."
Ran Zhongshi waved his hand and said, "I don't blame you. I guess Brother Xu went fishing again. Let's go down. We'll be docking soon. Go and get ready."
"Yes!"
The guard bowed and stepped back, then turned around to coordinate the sailors.
Ran Zhongshi leaned on the railing. The river was vast, the clouds were low, and the breeze was blowing gently. Two strands of black hair at his temples fluttered in the wind.
river bottom.
Liang Qu stretched out his hand and clenched his five fingers together. A water prison hundreds of cubic meters took shape out of thin air, firmly confining the water flow around it.
But in the next moment, the water prison shattered into pieces, and it couldn't even hold out for a single breath.
The degree of fusion has increased, the degree of favor has increased, and with the breakthrough of the bone barrier, the water flow that Liang Qu can control has already exceeded a hundred tons. With a wave of his hand, he can use the water prison to imprison hundreds of cubic meters of space. Now it is of no use at all.
The turbulent undercurrent is still turbulent, with no change from before the confinement.
"It's really extraordinary."
Liang Qu did not consume much physical energy. It was not because of overdrawn physical strength that he canceled the water prison, but because the undercurrent itself broke through his confinement.
He closed his eyes and used all his strength to sense everything. Every stream of water left a trace in his mind.
The entire undercurrent gradually became tangible in his mind. In a trance, Liang Qu seemed to see a huge "suona".
The front is the suona bowl structure, which then continues to shrink into a suona tube, forming a long corridor.
Just get close to the suona bowl and you will be led by the water flow through the corridor and into another place.
The force was so great that Liang Qu felt like a whip whipping his hands when he tried it. Without using any water control methods, he would be easily swept away.
Liang Qu did not approach rashly, because the other side of the passage was the Toad's territory.
He knew too little about toads and had no idea how they treated humans. He might mistake them for stink bugs and crush them to death as soon as he went over.
Whether you can get through depends on the fat catfish's next contact.
"It's really a work of art."
A channel can actually travel in both directions without hindrance, and move freely in shallow and deep waters.
I don’t know who created it, what means were used, or what the energy source is.
Will I be able to do it in the future?
If the favor degree reaches 100%, or if one truly transforms into Wuzhiqi, perhaps one can cause such a wonderful current to appear under the water.
But at that time he could use his magical power to travel thousands of miles on water, so the undercurrent was specifically used to transport his subordinates and supplies?
The bottom of the Jianghuai River was much busier in ancient times than it is now? Why has it disappeared now?
Liang Qu seemed to have seen the tip of the iceberg in a trance, but unfortunately the problem was too big and it was not something he should consider now.
Awei swam to the wrist, automatically fitted it, and turned into a blue bracelet.
Liang Qu and the three beasts returned to the lotus root field, and Liang Qu returned to the boat alone. Just as he was about to control the water to go back, he suddenly stopped and instead held the long oar.
A figure floated over the river on a boat from a distance.
"Wait a minute, rowing boy. I want to ask you something. In which direction is Pingyang County?"
