Chapter 269: The fight failed, and he turned to his old friend
Chapter 269: The fight failed, and he turned to his old friend
The moonlight shone on the open stone ground, and the pool water reflected the silver light.
Wulong followed Liang Qu and kept jumping around, with his head shaking in front and his little curly tail swaying behind.
After not seeing it for half a month, it was very excited to see Liang Qu again.
By the pond.
A fully roofed, uniquely shaped cabin is half built on the shore and half extends underwater.
Next to the wooden house, there is a simple haystack, which is rather sloppy.
There is a sharp contrast between the two.
But what Liang Qu cared about most was the "dragon bone" next to the wooden house. It was smooth and symmetrical, white and delicate, and made of the finest oak.
Around the keel, the ribs of the ship spread out like wings, with several wooden boards sandwiched inside to support the curved surface.
The beaver family did not slack off during the days he was away and made quite rapid progress.
Based on the current situation, I'm afraid we can deliver it together with Liu Quanfu in mid-August?
The noise of the black dragon jumping back and forth startled the resting beaver.
As the head of the family, Mr. Beaver crawled out of the pond, climbed onto the shore, trembling from neck to buttocks, shaking off the water droplets on his fur, then put his paws together towards Liangqu and shook it up and down.
Bow?
Liang Qu thought for a moment and nodded.
After greeting, the big beaver dived into the water.
In a short while, the giant beaver reappeared in the gap between the underground river and the pond. Behind it were six "big rats" that looked somewhat similar to beavers, but were definitely not beavers.
Liang Qu glanced at the old giant clam beside the gap. The old giant clam closed its shells tightly and remained silent.
The big beaver and six "big mice" emerged from the water, and the hazy moonlight diffused down.
Liang Qu immediately understood why a new "beast" had come to his family.
Seeing a furry creature near a beaver's area does not necessarily mean it is a beaver.
There are two other similar-looking creatures that are extremely common.
Otters and minks!
Beavers are vegetarians, while otters and minks eat meat.
Beavers are not in competition with either species, so the living areas they create are very likely to attract one of these two species to settle together.
The six animals in front of us must be the beaver’s “old friends”, and they are probably not otters, but river otters.
It’s not that Liang Qu can tell the difference between an otter and a river otter at a glance, but there are only river otters in the Jianghuai Lake, and there are a lot of them.
Fishermen out on boats often see two tribes of river otters fighting fiercely in the water.
This thing looks small, but it has very strong fighting power. It is not afraid of anything from water snakes to small crocodiles, and even humans. Many people in Yixing Town have been scratched by it. It is a flat-headed monster in the water.
All six river otters are spirits, which is rare.
The two leading ones were only slightly smaller than beavers, but stronger than beavers, and they looked to have extraordinary fighting power.
Liang Qu didn't even know how to describe it.
Muscle knots?
The only problem was that all six otters were injured and looked like a defeated army.
Could it be that they lost the battle for territory?
The big beaver dug around and pulled out another piece of gold from the hair on its belly. It was about the same size as the one it gave to Liang Qu last time, weighing about ten taels.
It pushed the largest otter.
The river otter, with one of its broken hands hanging down, walked up to Liang Qu, waving its other paw and gesturing continuously. It then pointed at the black dragon at Liang Qu's feet, and bent its forearm to show off its strong muscles.
His expression was tense, his fangs were bared, and his whiskers were trembling.
Liang Qu picked up a pebble from the ground, broke through the water flow, and smashed it onto the shell of an old giant clam at the bottom of the water.
The force was so great that a piece of the algae on the shell of the old giant clam was scraped off.
"What?"
The old giant clam reluctantly opened its shell.
"translate."
"His words can protect a home and a house."
"What's the situation with the injury?" Liang Qu asked about the injury on Jiang Otter's body and why he looked so miserable.
The answer I got was as expected: it was caused by a fight.
On the day of Bing Fire, everything becomes restless, and many monsters will leave their own territories and come to shallow waters.
"Firefights" are most likely to occur.
A family of river otters fought for territory with other river otters in the Jianghuai marshes, but they were defeated and driven out. They had no choice but to come here to seek refuge with an old friend, who had built a grass nest in advance.
But I didn't dare move in because I didn't get Liang Qu's approval.
The big river otters now leading the group hope to live in the pond so that they can help guard the house. As for why they pointed at Oolong, it was obviously to show that they could guard the house better than a puppy.
Wu Long sat at Liang Qu's feet, unaware that he had been called out. He raised his hind legs and scratched his neck.
Liang Qu looked at the gold that Beaver had placed on the ground and agreed.
The beaver family lives there, and the otter family also lives there, there is no difference.
He just felt weird.
There are not many people living in the huge three-courtyard house, but there are many animals gathered there.
He is indeed a friend of animals, and even when he was a humble person he showed extraordinary affinity with aquatic animals.
But the question is how much gold did the beaver hide and why there was so much.
Can it go up a bit...
cough.
Liang Qu gave up the idea and ran to the kitchen to boil water for a bath.
There were no facilities for bathing on the ship, so everyone had to take a bath in the big lake.
Even though it's hot, I always feel like it's soulless and missing something when I wash without hot water.
After taking a bath with soap, Liang Qu sat by the ice platform, his muscles relaxed and he felt extremely comfortable.
It's time to take your medicine.
He pulled out a small wooden box.
The light green texture on it is like the veins of a leaf, full of vitality. When you open the lid, you will see a pair of lotus flowers blooming and withering inside!
More than ten days have passed since I took the Qilin Pill, which is enough to avoid the dangerous period of sexual conflict. It is a good time to continue taking it.
Liang Qu took out the withered and flourishing lotus, pinched the petals to shrink them, and swallowed them into his stomach in one breath.
Even more choking than the Qilin Dan.
The Qilin Pill is big, but it is also heavy. There is no need for much movement. Just swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva and it will go down by itself.
But the lotus with two stems is not only big, but also heavy and light. It slowly slides down bit by bit, which is really uncomfortable.
Liang Qu picked up the teapot and took a few sips of tea before it finally went into his stomach.
After the precious plant was swallowed, pure life energy burst out like a tide, and the skin, flesh, bones, blood, and internal organs absorbed the medicinal power eagerly.
Once raw, twice cooked.
Liang Qu closed all the pores on his body, leaving no leakage and not losing any of the medicinal power. He silently recited the Dragon Subduing Curse and the Tiger Subduing Sutra in his heart.
"The divine dragon of the sky, the flood dragon of the earth, the poisonous dragon of man, those who surrender will be subdued..."
"The sun rises in the east, the lightning flashes with golden light, use it to bow your head, retreat and hide..."
The Dragon Subduing Curse and the Tiger Subduing Sutra were circulated alternately, with the fiery energy and blood rising, following the two curses without stopping.
Golden light emanated from Liang Qu's body, and a dragon and a tiger were circling around him alternately.
The flower of water and fire gave him the feeling of alternating cold and heat, while the lotus withered and flourished twins gave him the feeling of alternating withering and flourishing.
Now, as we look back on spring and summer, you alone are concerned about the withering and flourishing.
At the same time, the Ze Ding in the sea of consciousness shook violently.
The light blue water essence at the bottom of the cauldron quickly became deep and continuous, and as time passed, it "rose" little by little.
[Water Essence +7427]
