Chapter 165 The Talking Giant Clam
When we left the headquarters, it was already clear outside.
Liang Qu carried a long bow on his back, picked up his spear, and instead of going out through the main gate, he turned around and walked out through the courtyard.
The main entrance was no longer accessible as it was surrounded by people and there were cries of grief and shouting everywhere.
"My son! You died miserably!"
"Why, why, the old man sends the young man away."
"Sir, sir, please let my son live. He is the only son left in my family. If he dies, how will an old man like me survive?"
"Sir, please let my son go! He is young and ignorant, young and ignorant!"
Among the hundreds of gang members, only a few are single, while the vast majority have parents and wives.
The Dashun regime had collective punishment, but it was not too harsh.
As the leaders of the three gangs, their wives, sons and daughters could not escape punishment. However, as for the remaining hundreds of ordinary gang members, their parents and children would not be implicated, so they naturally dared to come and appeal for justice.
It had even started before the rain stopped, but was stopped outside the door by the yamen runners.
Liang Qu didn't know whether so many people blocked the door spontaneously or the county magistrate was causing trouble, he only knew one thing:
Everyone has parents and relatives, and there is no reason to commit a crime without paying for it.
The moonlight was spreading, and Liang Qu walked on the eaves until he could no longer hear the shouting. Then he jumped into the street, ran quickly to the pier, and got on the boat.
The two beasts came running over upon hearing the sound of the waves. As the water rippled, the small boats around them shook and collided, making the muffled sound of hollow boat planks.
Compared with the huge size of the two beasts, the small sampans on the pier were only three or four meters long, and the sampans were only five or six meters long. They were no different from leaves and could be overturned with a flick of their tails.
If ordinary fishermen saw this, their legs would definitely go weak.
Thinking about how it looked "unable to move" at the beginning, weighing only twenty or thirty kilograms, it was really something that even a brave village woman could catch it. It's really sad.
The fat catfish came to the side of the boat, drew a big circle with its two top long whiskers, and pointed to stop moving.
"Go and have a look first."
Previously in the mental connection, Sanshou had described to Liang Qu what he had discovered.
After Yuantou's teaching, their ability to describe things improved a lot. Liang Qu roughly guessed that what they found was a shellfish. The difference was very huge. The length alone was as if it could not move.
Eight-meter-long shellfish...
Liang Qu had never seen it before.
It is said that a fisherman in Yixing Town once saw a giant clam ten feet long, inside which was a pearl as big as a man's fist, sparkling and brilliant. But when he tried to reach in to take it, his arm was clamped by the giant clam and he drowned in the water.
When the companions on the same boat went back to find someone to rescue them, they could not find any trace of the giant clam.
I don't know whether it's true or not.
Liang Qu manipulated the water flow to push the barge forward quickly, and under the guidance of the two beasts, it headed towards the deep water area.
When he reached a certain position, he threw down a sinking stone and dived into the water.
After swimming a few strokes, it sensed the shadow of a fist and a terrifyingly large shell beside it.
The shells on both sides are shaped like waves and are extremely thick.
Giant clam! ?
Is there this thing in the river?
Liang Qu was greatly surprised. He controlled the flow of water and quickly came to the fist.
The giant clam in front of me is huge, with an overall width of nearly nine meters, which is larger than its immobile body length.
It is actually much more beautiful than imagined. It is white all over and has an ivory-like texture, with circles of fine patterns on it.
The only regret is that the giant clam did not open, and the shells on both sides were tightly closed.
Such a big giant clam should contain pearls.
Liang Qu didn't know whether there was any essence of the water, but even if there wasn't, the money he could get from selling it would be an astronomical figure.
Giant clam pearls don’t have the iridescence of clam pearls, nor are they as pretty, but their advantage is that they are big, very big!
Liang Qu walked around but couldn't find a place to start.
The fist ran over, knocked on the giant clam's shell with its pincers, and spit out bubbles.
The giant clam was open at first, but after seeing the three beasts, it quickly closed and never opened again.
The shell was incredibly hard, and no matter how hard the fists were attacked, it was useless. The fat catfish almost broke its teeth.
Upon hearing this, Liang Qu took out his Fu Bo, straightened his spine, and shot at the giant clam.
The torrent surged, the gun blade tore out a white dragon and slammed hard into the giant clam shell.
click!
A fingernail-sized fragment broke out of the giant clam's huge shell and floated away along the water. This hardness...
Liang Qu felt that this was a bit outrageous.
The thickness of the entire giant clam shell is measured in feet. How long will it take for it to collapse bit by bit?
He came in front of the giant clam, aimed at the gap in the middle, tensed every muscle in his body, and fired another shot between strides.
The water dances wildly.
Zheng!
Fu Bo went in, but not completely.
Liang Qu came to the giant clam, and the entire spear blade went in about a foot and then got stuck inside.
He didn't dare to pry, for fear of breaking the tip of Fu Bo's gun.
There are materials in spiritual weapons that can self-repair, but those are small cracks and fissures, not complete breaks.
So tricky.
This was the first time Liang Qu encountered such a situation. It was too torturous to be unable to open the shell of such a delicacy.
Take it back and let Master Yang try it?
Or let Xu Ti bring it?
Liang Qu felt like he had path dependence.
No, you can’t rely on others for everything. Think of another way.
[Water Essence +]
Liang Qu was stunned and looked around.
He has to soak in the water for a whole day to absorb a little bit of the water essence. It takes more than an hour to absorb . It won't be that fast after being in the water for such a short time.
What magical plankton did you eat?
No, that's not right!
Liang Qu turned and looked at the giant clam.
It's this guy!
Liang Qu's eyes flashed, and he climbed onto the giant clam shell and sat cross-legged.
moment.
[Water Essence +]
[Water Essence +]
A quarter of an hour later, Liang Qu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the giant clam under him.
It really is it.
This thing can actually help him absorb the essence of water! ?
A quarter of an hour is points, and an hour is eight quarters of an hour. At the end of a day, wouldn't that be a full twenty points of water essence?
Just standing outside has such an effect, what if the giant clam is opened?
What is the principle?
Liang Qu frowned and thought, unable to figure out what was going on.
half an hour.
He leaned against the giant clam's shell, reached out and patted it, running his fingers across the entire body of water.
"I don't know if you can understand what I'm saying. I'm the future water god of the Jianghuai River. The Jianghuai River is the entire place where you live, right?
Outside, I also know two powerful guys who can smash your shell with one punch.
If you obey me, you will follow me. If you don't obey me, I will have someone smash your shell and eat your flesh."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Qu felt that he was really confused. How could a wild monster with no intelligence understand human language?
He actually tried to appeal to the feelings and reason of a shell.
It is not appropriate to waste the command space. After breaking through the blood gate, Liang Qu's spirit increased greatly and there was a vacant space.
But a giant clam is currently useless since no one knows why it can help him absorb the essence of water.
It is even a question whether the giant clam itself can move. It is truly made of nothing but hardness.
Unexpectedly, a voice sounded in Liang Qu's mind.
"This man is very good at boasting. He knows a little about water and yet he calls himself the god of the Jiang and Huai rivers. Shouldn't I have been worshipped by people long ago?"
Liang Qu’s eyes widened.
"Can you speak?"
The giant clam trembled violently.
"Can you hear what I say?"
