Chapter 166 Useless Old Man
The entire bottom of the water was as quiet as a spring pupa in a cocoon, with only the sound of the wind hanging on the tip of a leaf.
"Gululu."
He hit his head with his fist, spit out a few bubbles, and floated upwards shakily.
"You can actually talk?!"
Liang Qu slapped the giant clam's shell hard, making a banging sound, and the water flow caused the water plants to dance wildly.
So far, Liang Qu has only learned from the fat catfish that the giant demon toad can speak and communicate just like ordinary people.
But that is a great demon, equal to Grandmaster Zhenxiang, and even a top existence among the great demons. It would be strange if the wisdom of such an existence could not be communicated.
A tiny giant clam actually has the ability to speak?
But Giant Clam only said those two sentences and then fell into silence, not saying anything else no matter how Liang Qu asked.
"Hey, don't pretend to be dead!"
Liang Qu found a stone on the ground and smashed the giant clam's shell with it.
There was no damage at all, but the sound and vibration were huge.
He picked up a huge rock with his fist and came over to help. The Fat Catfish and Budong looked around for rocks and pushed them with their heads. Once the man and the beast broke them, they would replace the rocks.
After knocking for a while, the giant clam still didn't move.
Liang Qu threw away the gravel in his hand.
"If you can talk, I'll tell you, the two martial artists I know are both tiger hunters, and they can easily smash your shell!"
"Even a tiger hunter cannot open my shell!"
Yo ho!
He is quite capable.
Liang Qu didn't know whether the giant clam was bragging or not, but given the hardness of the giant clam's shell, it did seem somewhat credible.
"You are not afraid of hunting tigers, but are you not afraid of earthquakes? If you are not afraid of earthquakes, are you not afraid of being burned by fire?
The Tiger Hunter Master can't open it, so I'll move you to the shore and build a bonfire to roast you, right?
If one day doesn't work, then two days. If two days doesn't work, then three days. I pour cold water on the fire after it's been burning for a while. I pour cold water on it and then continue to burn it. Do you know what this method is? The method of opening up the mountain!
With this method, ordinary people can flatten a mountain of several thousand feet. I will give you the mysterious fire and pour ice water on you..."
The giant clam shook violently again.
"Shameless!"
"You say I'm shameless, doesn't that prove that my method is effective?"
Liang Qu laughed out loud.
Can people hold their urine?
Even though the giant clam is less than ten meters long, it is probably heavier than many monsters that are dozens of meters long.
I really want to open it, but there is only one difficulty in carrying it.
After laughing, Liang Qu leaned on the giant clam and embraced the big shell: "If you have intelligence, then we can communicate, and we don't have to fight to the death.
You think if I really wanted to do that, I wouldn't tell you, right?"
The giant clam is silent.
The fire roasting method is despicable, but it still has the confidence.
The giant clams are not good at moving, but they have the innate ability to double their weight and become more closely connected with the earth. They are the earth and the earth is them.
If you want to move it, you have to be able to move it anywhere on the earth.
The tiger hunters among the human race wanted to move it out.
difficult!
"You damn duck has a tough mouth."
Liang Qu shook his head, and his four fingers moved up and down in waves, tapping on the shell of the giant clam.
"In fact, there are more than two great tiger hunters. I also know a master called Zhenxiang. The key is that he is an old monk. Monks are people who believe in Buddhism. The Lotus Sutra says that Buddhism has seven treasures.
Gold, silver, amber, coral, glass, agate..."
Liang Qu stretched out his fingers and counted them one by one, putting down a finger after counting one. When he counted to the sixth one, he paused.
"Hey, what's the last one? Monks like to make it into beads to ward off evil and ensure safety. I think it's called something like 砗..."
The giant clam couldn't hold on any longer.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
"Haha, that's easy. I'll just ask you a few questions. Why can you speak? And you speak classical Chinese."
Logically speaking, classical Chinese may be used in written language, but it is not often used in daily life. It requires a lot of effort and requires thinking in two roundabout ways.
Unexpectedly, the giant clam did not answer but asked instead.
"How can you hear what I say?"
"I'm asking you, not you."
Liang Qu knocked on the giant clam's shell to help it find its position.
The giant clam was speechless. It was more confused than Liang Qu himself. It thought for a while before organizing its words.
"Since the water beasts have reached the so-called demon realm, they can communicate with each other through their minds. I can't communicate with you through your minds, so how can you hear what I say?"
Liang Qu suddenly realized, this is really his own problem? Can he directly steal encrypted calls? After thinking about it, he felt that this was either the ability of Ze Zhimao or the reason why Shuize favored him.
"Then why do you speak ancient words?"
"I have lived my entire life on this path!"
The giant clam was almost going crazy. It had lived for a thousand years and had always spoken like this.
No matter ancient or modern, it has always been like this.
"A thousand years?"
Liang Qu was shocked. He knew that giant clams were long-lived, and some could live for hundreds of years. He didn't expect that the giant one in front of him was actually a thousand years old!
This is the advantage of species. A warrior needs to become a Martial Saint to extend his life span to 800 years, but some species are born with long lifespans.
Liang Qu's eyes lit up.
"You've lived for so long, so you must know a lot of secrets. Do you know what treasures there are in the Jianghuai River area? Do you know where there are precious plants that are tens of millions of years old?"
Giant clam: “…”
"I am not good at relocation, and I know... very little."
"It turns out to be a useless old thing."
Giant clam: “…”
If it could move quickly, it would have run away long ago, instead of staying here to be bullied by the little boy.
I really want to crush this guy to death.
It’s a pity that our ancestors didn’t give it a pair of legs!
[Water Essence +]
Liang Qu's eyes flashed: "Have you ever heard of this thing called Water Essence?"
Giant clam thought about it.
“I’ve never heard of that.”
Never heard of...
Liang Qu pondered, it seemed that the giant clam didn't know that it had the ability to help him absorb the essence of the water.
"Where are you from and why are you here?"
"I was born in the East China Sea. Later, my family suffered a sudden change. I was still a child at that time, about two feet tall, and my memory is still unclear. I drifted to this place and I don't know anything else after that."
"Do you know the demon court at the bottom of the Jianghuai River? Have you ever heard of a giant demon that looks like a toad?"
"There is a Dragon Palace at the bottom of the river, with the Dragon King at the head. The biggest monsters are at the four corners, which are called the Four Palaces of the Monster Palace.
I have never heard of a giant toad monster. I often swim in shallow waters and have never come into contact with monsters, so I know very little about monsters. "
"Is there a Dragon King at the bottom of the Jianghuai River?"
"The Dragon King is dead, and only one dragon remains to occupy the magpie's nest."
"How did the Dragon King die?"
"I don't know."
It turns out that dragons really do exist.
Liang Qu got a positive answer for the first time, and the rest, including those in the book, were ambiguous legends.
It seems that the so-called Demon Court is a social organization of demon beasts under the leadership of the Dragon Palace.
Dragon Palace.
I wonder if the Dragon Palace at the bottom of the Jiang and Huai rivers is really as magnificent and golden as described in the stories, with countless gold, silver and jewels.
Will I have the chance to live there in the future?
Liang Qu's thoughts drifted away a little, he looked back at the giant clam in front of him and continued to ask.
"What kind of strength do you have in this state?"
"Those of my clan who are over three meters tall are called great monsters by the human race."
?
Liang Qu looked up and down. The giant clam in front of him was at least nine meters long, almost three meters.
Is this the level of a great monster that is close to reaching the pinnacle of perfection?
It seemed that he sensed Liang Qu's contempt.
"My race is known for defense and longevity. No one in the same realm can break through the outer shell, and their life span is even more difficult to reach. The rest are...weaker."
All points are on defense and lifespan.
Liang Qu could roughly understand that people's classification of so-called monsters was mostly based on their own strength system.
The real world is so big that all kinds of monsters may appear, so it is not surprising.
"One last question. Do you have any pearls on you?"
