Chapter 278: No mercy!
Chapter 278: No mercy!
The moonlight was dim, and the water reflected the orange light of the burning flames.
The Liangqu Canal had been flooded for a long time, and the kerosene-soaked linen cloth was almost burned dry. It was charred into crispy pieces and stuck to the red firewood, crackling.
Chen Jiechang's arms felt sore, so he changed one hand to hold the torch and reached into his pocket with the other hand, took out a handful of peanuts and handed them to Li Libo and Aliang.
Li Libo reached out to take it, and was still able to wipe off the mud remaining on the peanut shell.
He pinched one, rubbed the skin and put it into his mouth. It was rich in fat, sweet and delicious, and tasted quite good.
"It will take a few days for the spring peanuts to ripen, right? Where did you get them?"
Peanuts are divided into spring and summer. Spring peanuts are usually not ripe until mid-August every year, but now it is almost half a month later.
"Aunt Zhen gave it to me at noon. She said that the weather was hot this year and some of the seedlings in the field turned yellow early. She pulled out two bunches and sent the first batch to my family to try."
"Hey, you're taking bribes. Hurry up and give me everything in your pocket, or I'll sue you at the Sanfashi."
"Nonsense!" Chen Jiechang cursed and turned to look at Aliang, "Why isn't Aliang eating?"
A Liang looked distressed: "Master Liang has been down there for so long, why hasn't he come up yet?"
Li Libo chewed peanuts and said vaguely.
"Martial artists have long lasting energy, unlike us. Not to mention your brother Shui, I can hold my breath in the water for half an hour. Besides, brother Shui may not be near us. He may swim two or three miles away to look for that water monster."
"Two or three miles?"
Aliang stared at the dark and surging water around him and couldn't help but leave the edge of the boat and shrink into the center of the boat.
He thought Liang Qu was nearby, but unexpectedly, according to Chen Jiechang's instructions, he swam away early?
What if the water monster came back to kill us? Aren't we surrounded?
"Why are you panicking?"
Li Libo laughed when he saw this, but before he finished his words, there was a loud bang in the distance, like a muffled thunder exploding in the water.
The nearby lakes were shaking, and the water on both sides of the boat was floating quietly.
What the hell is going on?
He and Chen Jiechang looked at each other.
"East?"
"North by east."
"Let's go over and have a look!"
Li Libo threw away the peanut shells, exerted all his strength, and shook the machine vigorously.
The entire barge leapt out of the water with a whoosh, and before it had traveled a mile, huge waves were raised in the surrounding waters!
The waves were surging, and Aliang lost his balance and slipped, almost falling into the water. Fortunately, he was caught by Chen Jiechang.
Li Libo rooted his feet to the ground and rowed with all his might, just managing to keep pace with the waves, unable to move forward at all.
The entire lake was shaking so violently that it even reminded him of the shaking sheets when he was drying his quilts in the sun this morning!
"What are you doing?"
underwater.
Liang Qu landed lightly on the ground and ran forward a few steps while holding back the feeling of suffocation.
The big snake froze for a moment, a straight line of blood emerged along its skull, and a bursting pain swept through its body.
The desire to survive that was compressed to the limit rebounded, allowing it to overcome its fear, straighten its body and twist wildly. The blood continued to spread, and the dark red blood escaped from the narrow gap. All the scales opened because of pain, scraping against the rock, leaving fine scratches.
Rocks flew everywhere, and the entire giant snake was more than three meters long when fully expanded. As a snake, it was much longer than four-clawed beasts like the red beast, at least ten meters!
It struggled like a long whip and lashed wildly under the water, causing the water to flow as violently as a knife. However, when it hit Liang Qu, it all turned into a breeze blowing on his face.
However, while it was struggling, it had no intention of fighting back. It was like an earthworm scalded by boiling water, rolling over instinctively.
Liang Qu knew very well that his shot must have cut open the skull and hit the snake's brain, so it should be dead.
Struggling at this moment is just like a centipede, dead but still able to stand still.
If the martial arts realm is higher, one can kill the person with one shot without causing any waves.
Thinking of this, Liang Qu clenched Fu Bo tightly, and a heroic spirit suddenly emerged.
The strength of the giant snake's aura is similar to that of the red beast, and it is also barely within the realm of a giant monster. However, no matter how poor it is at the level of a giant monster, it is still a giant monster!
The strength of Qi and blood is equivalent to that of Wolf Smoke Martial Artist!
In other words, he used the remaining power of the Dragon Slaying Skill to kill a Wolf Smoke Martial Artist with one shot!
He achieved his first great success - the Green Dragon Spear!
Great success is far better than small success. It is no longer a matter of using rigid moves, but rather having your own understanding and more powerful performance, which can increase the power several times!
Expansion!
Unprecedented expansion!
While they were having a blast, a barge broke into Liangqu's perception circle and stopped just at the edge, blocked by the wind and waves and unable to move forward an inch.
Liang Qu came back to his senses from the afterglow and floated to the surface along with the waves. In an instant, fresh air flowed through his lungs and throughout his body, dispelling his fatigue.
Water breathing allows him to breathe through his body surface, similar to catfish and eels, but just like humans who breathe through their mouths, he will still run out of breath if he exercises too vigorously.
Chen Jiechang, who was on the water, saw Liang Qu by the boat and pulled him up. When Liang Qu sat down, the three of them gathered around him and asked him questions.
"how is the situation?"
"What happened?"
"Did they fight?"
"already solved."
Liang Qu took a breath, took out a piece of silk cloth from the drain baffle, and wiped the water stains on the gun blade.
The black gold tip of the gun flashed with a sharp cold light, becoming three points sharper.
Spiritual weapons are good. The more he uses them, the more qi and blood will be infused into them, and they will grow.
solved?
The three of them stared at each other, and Li Libo pointed at the surging waves.
"So what's going on with this wave?"
"Have you ever killed a chicken? Have you ever caught a water snake? Even if you chop off its head, its body can still jump around. It's similar to that."
Everyone was stunned.
"Strange, it's such a loud noise."
Chen Jiechang held the torch high, and occasionally he could see a long dark green tail emerging from the water.
Aliang was surprised and happy: "Can I fish without worries in the future?"
Liang Qu nodded: "Yes, the Bing Fire Day will soon end, it's almost time to calm down, there won't be much danger."
When a martial artist becomes successful, he leaves his hometown and goes to a more prosperous city in order to gain a better future.
The same is true for monsters; a true dragon cannot be raised in shallow water.
The instinct of life evolution will make them move closer to more prosperous deep water areas.
Only under various complex conditions, such as Binghuo, molting, and pregnancy will they run to the shore to seek a more stable environment.
The waves were crashing against the boat one after another. Li Libo dropped the anchor to stabilize the boat.
A quarter of an hour later, the waves around calmed down a little.
Liang Qu calmed his mind and observed the Ze Ding.
Last time he searched the mountain and conquered the demon, he was the first to be favored by the Lord of Sichuan. Does beheading the snake this time count as "beheading the dragon"?
Unfortunately, Ze Ding remained silent until the noise in the water died down.
Not quite.
It seems that this time's "killing the dragon" is too simple.
Liang Qu stopped hesitating and went back into the water. He opened his golden eyes and found the water monster buried in the mud.
The dark green snake completely collapsed in the water, twitching occasionally.
When he arrived at the snake's head, his pupils were still reacting, trembling slightly, revealing deep resentment and fear.
Useless.
When dealing with the enemy, you must be ruthless.
Liang Qu chopped off the snake's head with a gun, and let the fat catfish and other animals drag the rest of the snake's body to the shore.
The soldiers patrolling during the curfew saw a large snake coming ashore, and then saw Liang Qu, the number one "tyrant" in Yixing Town, coming ashore. They didn't dare to question him and left in a hurry.
"The matter is settled, go back and be with your father. His broken hand needs someone to take care of it. Libo and Jiechang will be able to help take care of it. Remember to help deal with the aftermath tomorrow."
At the pier, Liang Qu asked Aliang to go back early.
An ordinary person would have suffered a serious illness if frightened like this. It’s already good enough that they have managed to hold on until now. The rest can be left to Li Libo and Chen Jiechang without any problem.
"Thank you, Mr. Liang."
"rest assured."
"Keep it on us!"
As for Liangqu.
Go back to sleep.
