Chapter 213 Golden Legend
The toad held the golden fish in his hand, just like a person holding a small minnow in his hand, it was very tiny.
When the golden fish was handed to him, the fat catfish discovered that the whole treasure fish was actually not small at all, but it had a strange appearance, with a mouth full of sharp teeth and a triangular back. He had never seen such a thing in rivers before.
"Clams call it golden gong fish, a good thing from the sea. It has a golden soup inside. It warms you up after drinking it. It is extremely delicious. You must try it. I'm giving it to you, little brother."
A strange fragrance filled the water. The fat catfish approached cautiously, and the golden gong fish suddenly struggled violently.
The fat catfish was caught off guard, and was slapped several times on its fat face by the big tail, and finally fell to the ground.
The toad burst into laughter, then glared at the golden gong fish, which then rolled its eyes and fainted.
The fat catfish shook its head to shake off the mud and sand on its forehead, and looked at the golden gong fish lying flat on the ground with fear.
It was a fish that he could swallow in one bite, but he swallowed it with such great force that it hurt his face.
"Don't underestimate it because it's small. According to people, the golden gong fish is as strong as nine oxen and two tigers!"
The fat catfish touched the golden gong fish on the ground with its whiskers, then pushed it up and turned over.
After making sure that the treasure fish had fainted, he took a deep breath and held the sandfish in his mouth, then waved his fins to say goodbye.
"Strange, why don't you eat it in one bite?"
Looking at the fat catfish that disappeared into the undercurrent, Toad scratched his head, wondering why the fat catfish had to be brought back to eat. It was a waste of time.
But as soon as it saw the big anchor lying on the ground, the little confusion was thrown out of its mind.
The toad ran into its own cave, turned out several huge rocks that were dozens of feet high, and pushed them to the cave entrance. Under the shining waves, they sparkled with different bright colors.
Dark purple, light yellow, lapis lazuli, blood red.
Part of the stone skin was worn away, revealing a few small windows that revealed a hint of metallic luster. It was obvious that several of the stones were extremely high-content metal ores.
"Hey, weapons, weapons, new weapons!"
……
Liang Qu was waiting at the exit of the undercurrent.
The undercurrent was surging, and the fat catfish rolled out from it. It held its big mouth tightly, and its two cheeks bulged left and right.
At some point the golden gong fish suddenly woke up and started jumping around in its mouth, feeling uncomfortable.
Looking around, a fat catfish swam to the foot of Liangqu and spit out a large ball of golden light.
The golden light saw the light of day again and turned around to escape, but Liang Qu naturally would not give it a chance and imprisoned the golden light in place with a water prison spell.
What a lot of strength.
Liang Qu felt his physical strength being consumed. Without even touching it, he knew that this fish was truly endowed with magical powers, even greater than any ox-headed fish.
only……
Look at the appearance of this golden gong fish. It has a long and flat body, wide in front and narrow in the back, with a dorsal fin and a tail standing upright like a sharp knife.
It's normal that you haven't seen the fat catfish. It has never left the swamp in its life. The farthest it has been to is Fengbu County. But Liang Qu is very familiar with its appearance.
The so-called golden gong fish is actually a small shark?
Can it be delicious?
Liang Qu was skeptical about Toad's words.
He knew that sharks have no urinary organs and all body fluids are exchanged through the skin.
Because of this, shark meat has a very strong smell of urine. The older the shark is, the stronger the smell, as it has been pickled in urine.
Even something that tastes good when used to make shoe insoles may not taste good when used to make shark meat.
Maybe the treasure fish is different?
After all, it is a precious fish recommended by the great monster, Liang Qu will definitely give it a try.
He grabbed the tail of the golden croaker and carried it back to the barge. Between the interlaced awnings, he couldn't help but raise his hand to block the sunlight.
The sky was dimly lit, and orange-yellow golden light shone through the fingers, casting long mottled shadows.
Oh, another night of staying up late.
The opera ended at midnight. On the way, they went to the river bank to buy a big anchor. The fat catfish waited for a few hours at the toad's side, and a day passed like this.
Liang Qu yawned, felt sleepy, and lost his appetite.
Today is a day of great joy and sorrow, I am so tired. I will go home and take a nap first, and then I will cook after I wake up.
A few hours at night won’t be a problem.
After letting Awei inject some poison, he took out the fish basket, stuffed the whole small golden shark into it, tied the boat to the pier and went home.
Wu Long, who was lying in the doghouse, heard footsteps and his ears trembled slightly. Then he heard the door lock shaking and immediately jumped up from the ground, squatting behind the door, sniffing the scent.
Liang Qu pushed the door open and a furry black ball rolled onto his calf, jumping and hopping along with his footsteps, its short tail wagging non-stop.
"Oolong?"
Liang Qu shook his toes and shook the black dragon off his legs, then picked up the fish basket and poured the golden gong fish into the water tank.
Golden light entered the vat, water splashed everywhere, and a drop fell on the tip of the oolong's nose. It held its nose and sneezed.
"Wu Long, I have a mission for you. Guard this fish well and don't let it run away."
"Wang!"
Wu Long called out, tilted his head to look at Liang Qu who walked into the room, then looked at the big water tank, sat down on the ground, and did his duty conscientiously.
The morning light is hazy.
Liang Qu washed his face and lay on the bed, his thoughts wandering.
It should be a happy thing to confirm the source of the evil through the toad, and it is even more joyful that the dragon cannot accurately locate it, but these do not mean that it is still safe underwater.
The toad doesn’t matter, but what about the other big monsters?
There are those who neglect their duties and do nothing, and there are naturally those who are loyal and willing to be bootlickers.
Moreover, there is a big monster under the dragon. Does the big monster have small monsters under him?
When a monster reaches the level of a great monster, it has already developed considerable intelligence and knows how terrible humans can be. Unless it is extremely hungry, it will not provoke ordinary fishermen.
When they reach the level of monsters, they are no different from humans, and it is normal for them to form gangs and factions.
Liang Qu could escape even if he couldn't defeat an ordinary monster, but the monster...
The sturgeon king huddles in a small pond, but can still unleash its terrifying power to change the terrain, causing huge waves at any time. It will only be even stronger if it is placed in a large swamp.
"Take one step at a time, and if you think about it, you won't be able to sleep..."
Liang Qu calmed his mind and stopped thinking.
The clouds in the sky stretch lazily, and the earth is quiet and fragrant.
Aunt Zhang pushed the door open and saw the bamboo curtain drawn. She didn't scream, but just made less breakfast.
noon.
Light dark clouds drifted in from the north, and a light drizzle fell.
The ridges of the tiles were washed black and shiny, forming a line along the corners of the eaves, and dripping into a puddle on the ground.
Liang Qu put on his clothes and pushed the door open. The fresh air with moisture refreshed him.
Wu Long was still sitting in front of the water tank, but he was squatting under the eaves. When he saw Liang Qu, he stood up, shook his hair, broke through the rain and jumped onto the stairs.
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll give you a piece of shark fin later!"
Liang Qu reached out and dried all the hair on the black dragon's body, then fished the treasure fish out of the water tank.
The curved-handled dagger cut open the belly, and the thick fat left a greasy sheen on the blade. A very unique golden organ rolled out from the incision, shining brightly.
As the golden organ left the body, the entire golden gong fish became much duller.
Liang Qu picked up the oval organ and found that it was like a fish bubble, very large and filled with golden liquid.
Is this the delicious soup that Toad was talking about?
If you get close enough to smell it, the very unique fragrance will penetrate your nose and make you salivate.
Drink it raw?
Boil it?
Liang Qu frowned and thought, then decided to take a sip first.
Use the tip of a knife to carefully pry open a crack and absorb a little juice.
