Chapter 292 Dragon Bloodline
Chapter 292 Dragon Bloodline
"Interesting, interesting!"
Toad put his hands behind his back and paced around Liangqu.
The algae fluttered in the air, Liang Qu was sweating profusely, not understanding what was going on. Could it be that the toad had figured out something about him?
Not at all. With Ze Ding's abilities, how could a water demon king notice anything?
This is too worthless.
Liang Qu was worried.
The fat catfish, acting as a mouth substitute, immediately asked what was interesting and made the fish have fun together.
The toad held his chin in his hand and answered half-thoughtfully: "You give me the same feeling as that long worm..."
Long worms?
Liang Qu's mind was racing and his brain went into overclocking mode.
There are not many creatures in the Jianghuai Lake that meet the requirements to be considered as long worms by the Toad.
The only thing that comes to mind is the Jianghuai dragon that occupies the Dragon Palace.
The term "long worm" is used with contempt.
The relationship between the two sides is not good?
Oops!
You've walked into a trap!
No, I have to attract some attention!
Why do I look like a dragon?
Liang Qu's mind raced, and he immediately thought of the June River God Festival.
After the River God Festival, he gained enough favor from Jiang Huai, and the changes started from then on. Whenever he went into the water, he could always feel malicious intent following him, and it was very likely that the malicious intent came from a dragon!
There might be a competition between me and the dragon in terms of favor...
Liang Qu's thoughts raced, and he bowed again: "Your Majesty, why don't you think about it carefully? Is it the same as the long worm before, or the long worm now?"
"Before, now?" The toad's eyelids drooped slightly, then suddenly opened again, "It is similar to the worm now! It was not like before! Huh?"
The toad leaned forward again, its eyes moving up and down: "Are you the guy the worm is looking for?"
"Yes, South! You're that guy!"
Without waiting for Liang Qu to answer, the toad flapped its webs on its own, seemingly very happy. As it flapped its webs, the water turned into a tornado and crashed into the stone walls on both sides, slowly dissipating into white steam.
"There's a show!"
Liang Qu's spirits were greatly boosted. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Revealing the hostile relationship with Jiaolong could at least draw a clear line between them and regain some impression points!
Talking to big shots is like walking on thin ice. Even if you do nothing, you may still be disliked.
The tornado tore through the algae, and broken leaves flew everywhere.
The toad hugged its white belly and laughed uncontrollably, and the fat catfish laughed along with it, its two long whiskers shaking in waves.
Liang Qu didn't know what it was laughing at, so he thought he would have to give it a good beating when he got back.
After a while of joy, the toad lay quietly where it was, as if lost in very distant memories.
Liang Qu could feel the Toad's gaze occasionally falling on him like a curtain. His heart was pounding, and he had no idea what had changed.
torment……
Toad lay on the ground, his thoughts wandering.
It felt strange the first time it saw Liangqu.
The presence is too low.
It's not the breath or appearance, it's the sense of presence.
It is so low that it can be easily overlooked if you are not careful. It is incredible.
Once you focus your attention and overcome the existential alienation, something deeper feels familiar.
Long worm!
Toad had seen the long worm not long ago, so it was not difficult for him to recall it.
I originally thought that Liangqu was a species of longworm, and therefore had characteristics unique to longworms, but after being reminded, it seems that this is not the case.
"Before... now..." Toad pondered and quickly found the key point of change.
The long worm enters the Dragon Palace!
Could it be that it was inherited from Lord Long?
In this case, Liang Qu does not look like a long insect, but like a dragon king?
What is the blood relationship between the two?
The Toad thought more and more deeply.
The Dragon King is good in every way except for one thing: he likes to reward essence and blood and enlighten living beings. There are always some strange things with dragon blood flowing in their bodies.
When it was young, it followed the old toad and wandered around in the swamp. Relying on the old toad's ability to seek benefits and avoid harm, it managed to make a name for itself in the swamp.
On the Dragon King’s birthday that year, the two frogs had the honor of being included in the banquet. The old toad still collects the gold and silver cups brought back from the Dragon King’s banquet. He often takes them out to show off, saying that the gold and silver cups were given to him by the Dragon King himself. He places them by his bed and dreams of them every night.
Only Toad knows the truth.
But that was more than a hundred years ago.
It was just a little frog that followed the old toad around the buffet and ate heartily. Apart from the fact that the dishes at the banquet tasted extremely good and it is still unforgettable, the rest of its impression was vague.
What a fate.
The long worm makes the person he is looking for come to him on his own, and they have already helped him build a boat before the long worm gets angry.
Toad missed the taste of that meal.
In a trance, it seemed to see the Dragon King again, and the prosperous, orderly and vibrant demon court.
As for capturing Liang Qu and handing him over to Jiaolong, he had no idea of that at all.
With the death of Dragon King, Chang Chong has to be labeled as the most important suspect, followed by Tietou in the north.
Even if it is not a long worm, its behavior of occupying the legacy of the real dragon and driving away the descendants of the Dragon Palace is despicable and embarrassing.
In short, before the truth comes out, it will firmly oppose anything that Jiaolong wants to do!
"go!"
The toad flapped its claws and webbed feet, creating a water tornado that wrapped up Liang Qu and the fat catfish, and landed them steadily in front of the cave.
Liang Qu looked up and was slightly surprised.
Only when you actually stand in front of the cave can you realize how insignificant you are.
He was like an ant coming to the shell of a turtle that had been dead for a hundred years and admiring the glory of the giant beast.
The vines growing close to the rock wall came to greet the toad. The toad stepped in. Liang Qu hugged the fat catfish, lay on it and followed it forward.
"From now on, avoid going to the north and east of the deep water area of Daze."
Liang Qu asked tentatively: "I will take your words to heart, but can you tell me the reason?"
"Not safe."
The toad shook his big head.
The four pillars of the Demon Court are in the south, to the west is the old turtle, and to the east and north are close to the dragon.
Liang Qu nodded. As long as he knew what to do, it would be fine. Being reminded by the Toad, he should have gained a certain degree of favor, or at least neutrality.
Besides, he has only discovered the undercurrent channel that leads to the toad's location, and he doesn't have the conditions to go anywhere else.
Speaking of which, how are undercurrent channels formed?
How could it last for so long without any force maintaining it? Could it really be a magical path formed naturally in the swamp?
After following the toad for a distance, Liang Qu looked around at the dazzling array of remains of the monsters, and felt awe for the toad in his heart.
Awesome!
If he could really get on board with the Toad, he would replace the old monk and become Liang Qu's biggest backer.
Unfortunately, his relationship with Toad is currently weak, while the Fat Catfish has a better relationship with Toad.
The toad moved to a piece of light blue animal skin, raised its butt and lay down, waving its claws and webbed feet.
"Two ships for two items, and you can take one away. Don't bother me if you have nothing to do."
The fat catfish caught its eye.
It's a small fish, but it's very intelligent and I'm not afraid of it at all. It looks so lucky and a species I've never seen before. It can even bring a boat over, so I naturally like it.
I was too lazy to think about where the boat came from before, and I felt a little uncomfortable after knowing it. But after realizing that Liang Qu and Jiaolong were not on good terms, Toad didn’t care anymore.
After saying this, he closed his eyes and went to sleep.
