Chapter 25 Monster
Liang Qu wants to take back the territory.
After eating the treasure fish last time, the fusion degree of Ze Ling has been increased to , the controllable water flow intensity has reached nearly kilograms, and the underwater activity time has been extended again.
The most important thing is that the perception range has changed. The detailed perception range has not changed, but the rough perception range has expanded by one meter to six meters, which is already a fairly large sphere.
After practicing martial arts for another half a month, he was no longer the fragile little fisherman.
With the help of the Pig Dragon and the Fat Catfish, they are almost invincible in the shallow water.
He believed that the monster that was trying to seize the territory would not be too strong, otherwise it would not have watched the fat catfish take away the most precious lotus roots.
The wind on the river was a bit strong today. Liang Qu sank stones tied with ropes to prevent the sampan from drifting away. Then he took the wooden spear and pig bladder and went into the water. Under the guidance of the two animals, he returned to the bottom of the water where the lotus roots were found.
It's very quiet underwater.
The sunlight penetrates the water layer and spreads out into fine bright lines, providing a good view.
The mud was littered with rocks, with nameless plants growing between the cracks, and thin silk threads swaying gently with the water flow.
Unable to move, he lay on the ground, moving forward cautiously. It seemed that he was still very afraid of the so-called big guy, and he didn't even dare to wipe off the several water plants hanging on his head.
The fat catfish nearby also lay on the ground, slowly shaking its tail to reduce the water flow as much as possible.
Many fish with keen perception can detect changes in water flow, and if you take big steps, you may actually be discovered.
Liang Qu also slowed down his pace and trudged through the undulating soil. After crossing a huge rock, he saw lotus roots spreading out on the ground.
The two beasts sent out reminders in the mental link.
Very close.
Liang Qu lowered his body and stepped over a slightly undulating muddy ground again. An irregular figure appeared in his sight, motionless, and abrupt like a protruding black rock. Visually speaking, it was about one meter tall.
"What is that? A rock? Is that the monster?"
Liang Qu was very sure that there was no such rock in this area. He looked at Budong and Fat Catfish and got positive approval.
It was strange. He still couldn't tell what kind of creature it was. It looked like a stone, without the long body of a fish, and didn't look like an aquatic creature.
It seemed to be unable to move as it did at the beginning, and it regarded this area as its own territory.
Is it a crustacean?
Liang Qu suddenly thought of a possibility.
Only crustaceans have such a strange shape, lying down like a huge rock.
Gurgling.
A large number of bubbles drifted from a certain part of the "rock", proving that it was indeed a crustacean.
What kind of crustacean can be that big? Could it be a spirit?
Liang Qu was shocked. Having been in this world for so long, he knew that there were monsters in the world.
I thought that the two beasts might not be able to handle a huge crocodile about four or five meters long, or something else, but I never expected it to be a monster.
Looking at the large area of lotus roots that had been eaten, he frowned.
How can we let that monster get away with this precious plant that we have found with great difficulty?
Everything was apparently going in a good direction, but a monster suddenly appeared and took away the most precious resources.
Liang Qu held the spear tightly.
How much water essence can be contributed if a monster is eaten?
A dozen or even dozens?
A thought suddenly occurred to him, and he was then shocked by his own thought.
That's a monster, not an ordinary water beast!
Maybe not?
Liang Qu's thoughts kept jumping and diverging.
Crustaceans also have many weak spots, such as below the navel, which can be killed with just one spear.
And its exposed eyes are also very easy to deal with. As a visual creature, it can do nothing without eyes.
And it is indeed not strong, otherwise it would not have watched the fat catfish take away the best pieces of lotus root.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and his grip on the spear kept loosening. He always remembered what his university tutor had said.
“You have to take risks to change your life. Most of the significant things happen by chance. Only the unimportant things require careful planning.”
Adventure, a word that runs through the entire history of human development.
Dangerous and fascinating.
He is not willing!
He wants to get his things back!
Liang Qu clenched his fist, and the water was squeezed out, rushing out from between his fingers and dispersing into white foam.
He never has the habit of giving away things he has obtained.
Zhang Tieniu robbed his boat, so Zhang Tieniu died.
Now that he has some certainty now, he wants to take a gamble. Between him and the goblin, who has greater power?
In Yang's Martial Arts School, Li Libo and Chen Jiechang were practicing against each other, trying out the three-punch method.
Unlike Liang Qu who learned all three boxing styles, Li Libo only learned the ape boxing and tiger boxing, and Chen Jiechang only learned the tiger boxing. The remaining two did not plan to explore further, but instead prepared to concentrate on cultivating the blood and energy in their hearts.
On the one hand, Lu Shaohui was not attentive in teaching, and on the other hand, Liang Qu's learning speed made them a little nervous. Anyway, learning the remaining two skills would only help to broaden their horizons, and in the end, they mainly practiced the Ape Fist and Tiger Fist that were most suitable for them.
The two simply gave up and decided to spend more time improving themselves, trying to see if they could break through within three months and then stay in the martial arts gym.
If you can break through, it can almost be considered as a success.
Perhaps in Pingyang Town, a warrior who has only passed one level is not worth mentioning, and even taxes cannot be reduced, but in Yixing City it is enough, and the quality of life can be improved by leaps and bounds.
The simplest one is the issue of watering the fields. What should we do if there is a dispute? People on both sides will definitely want to find someone to help. Who should they find?
The farmers in Yixing City naturally thought of a martial artist who had achieved success in the village, but would it be free to ask for help?
You have to carry a few buckets of rice, right?
As time goes by, your prestige grows. Do you have the nerve to continue to sit in your position and do nothing as the village head?
It doesn’t take much to make a fortune in a small place. Now the two are still fishmongers, and no one can predict their future.
The two of them practiced every minute with the hope of a better future.
"Hey, those two over there, they stink so bad, could you please get away from me?"
Li Libo and Chen Jiechang paused for a moment, then continued doing their own things, but their movements were visibly weakened.
"Can't you hear me? It's you two! The fishmongers!"
"It seems their ears are not good either."
"Hahahaha!"
On one side of the martial arts arena, three young men were squatting and pointing.
Others saw it, but no one stepped forward.
"You speak so harshly, Lu Tingcai." Another person came over.
Hearing the voice, Li Libo and Chen Jiechang felt relieved, looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh?" The young man called Lu Tingcai pulled up his trouser legs, opened his legs and sat on the stool. He moved down and tilted his head. "Then you can't smell Xue Dingyi?"
"That's right." The young man who seemed to be trying to dissuade them suddenly smiled, "Then, let's get them out of here!"
Li Libo and Chen Jiechang were stunned, their masseter muscles bulged high, and emotions of shame, anger and inferiority surged in their hearts at the same time.
Every time they went to the martial arts arena, they chose a seat in the farthest corner, carefully avoiding everyone, but they had never been humiliated like this.
There is clearly no grudge or hatred, why?
"How about this."
Lu Tingcai suddenly stood up and walked towards the two of them.
Li Libo and Chen Jiechang then realized that this man was incredibly tall, almost six and a half feet tall. They had to look up at him when they got close to him!
Lu Tingcai looked down at me, grinning and showing his sharp white teeth: "As a token of your tolerance for staying here, how about two taels of silver per person?"
Lu Shaohui standing by seemed to ignore the scene in front of him and just lifted the stone lock by himself.
