The bright moon hangs in the sky, and the black tide surges.
The woods are quiet, and the dark green crocodile is lying down, blending in with the surrounding bushes. At first glance, it looks like an ancient tree covered with moss.
A pale blue shadow swayed inside the Ze Ding, and four green lights rose up slowly, shining brightly.
[Resurrection of the sacred tree], [Unmoved by wind and rain], [Sharp teeth and fangs], [Whirlwind of death].
When consciousness touches, a gleam of light bursts out.
The first item is [Resurrection of the Sacred Tree].
The hornbeam grows one foot, and the effect remains unchanged, which is still range-based physical strength and life recovery.
Under the halo, plants are full of vitality, organisms live longer, and even their unique means of explosion are exactly the same, and then they fall into a "cooling down" period for several days.
There is no doubt that [Resurrection of the Sacred Tree] is an advanced version of [Resurrection]!
The only difference from [Resurrection] is that [Shenmu Resurrection] has an additional intermediate product of "burst" and "continuous passive".
[Concentrate the sacred tree's imprint, and significantly restore individual vitality or physical strength within a quarter of an hour. ]
That is, "unable to move" takes a certain amount of time to weave the sacred tree mark, which is attached to the recovering person. The side effects are the same as "eruption", and the "cooling down" takes several days.
Apart from the fact that it takes time to weave and lacks the immediacy and speed of an "explosion", the total amount of recovery of the Divine Tree Mark will undoubtedly be higher and more functional.
The former is suitable for survival and burst.
The latter is suitable for long-lasting and sawing.
The second ray of light [Unmoved by Wind and Rain] is a resistance-like ability that enhances one’s own “essence”.
It can give [Resurrection] another branch ability, enhancing the defense and attack of the group within the coverage area.
But with the magical skill of [Spirit Transformation], what Liang Qu lacks now is not burst, but endurance!
There is fault tolerance only if there is battery life.
As for the last two items, [Sharp Fangs] and [Death Whirlwind], unsurprisingly, they are attack talents that strengthen the physical body.
Liang Qu looked at them one by one without much hesitation.
[Resurrection of the sacred tree]!
The first ray of green light in the Ze Ding became brighter, while the other three gradually dimmed, peeling off strands of green light, which mixed into the [Resurrection of the Sacred Tree], as if their spirituality had been sucked away.
After the swallowing was complete, the light of [Revival of the Sacred Tree] expanded more than twice and turned into a light core, which was suddenly thrown into the body of the "unable to move".
The cocoon of light wraps the crocodile.
After a moment, the light cocoon shattered and broke into countless fluorescent butterflies that scattered into the swamp.
A terrifying monster with a body length of more than five meters and sixteen meters came into view!
Big monster!
"Can't Move" shook its tail, and the moonlight flowed in layers. The scales looked like jade armor carved by a master, emitting an oily and soft light.
The overall atmosphere was more peaceful and harmonious, without any of the terrifying oppression brought by the power of ordinary water beasts. Just by leaning against my side, all my complicated worries disappeared.
Even Awei, who had turned into a blue bracelet, couldn't help but stretch his wings, stretch his body, and enjoy the soft aura of life.
It deserves to be called a auspicious beast.
Sense the breath.
“Not only is he new to Wolf Smoke, his aura is much stronger than Cheng Chong’s, similar to Third Senior Brother, in the middle stage of Wolf Smoke?
Using the essence of water to advance, the process is slightly different from the normal advancement..."
Liang Qu seemed to understand something. He patted his head and felt more confident.
With [Resurrection of the Sacred Tree], the duration of [Spiritual Transformation] will be at least doubled!
When I first took control, I never thought that a vicious pig dragon would go the way of healing...
Communicate with Ze Ding.
Liang Qucha started to examine the requirements for the next stage of the evolution of "cannot move".
Do not see do not know.
The fifth evolution actually requires a full 25,000 points of water essence!
The essence points required for the evolution of your monsters are increasing.
This made Liang Qu worry about how many Water King Monkeys would be needed in the next stage?
Water monkey 100 points, marmoset 100,000 points, water monkey...
Hopefully not in the same multiples.
There are only two conditions for the Marmoset to evolve into the Aqualad.
The first is to obtain five points of river favor, and the second is to completely integrate the Zeling Ze Marmoset.
When the water monkey first arrived at the marmoset, there were also favor requirements, but they were completed in advance.
Now that the latter has been achieved, the former... is not too difficult.
The continuous increase in its own strength means that the quality of sacrifices will be improved. In addition, the Water Temple, which is about to be completed, will further expand the scale of sacrifices. Five points of favor can be almost obtained by coming twice normally.
The only problem is the dragon...
The harm to Liangqu could only be done in small amounts and multiple times.
"Next time you build a boat, instead of changing things, let the toad help you jump a few times?"
No major monsters appeared in the entire second half of last year, resulting in no river god festival being held in winter.
All the old people in Yixing Town praised the Liangqu summer event for being lively and well organized, which pleased the river god.
If you take the initiative to do something unexpected, maybe you can get everything done within this year.
In the vast lake where the black current surges, the fat catfish looks with envy at the strong and sturdy body of the "immovable" creature.
Total defeat.
Liang Qu saw what the fat catfish was thinking.
It takes too much essence to break through the giant monster. There is some essence left after defeating the Zhang family, but it is not enough to evolve another one.
"The Zhang family is not enough, so the Li family will make up for it!"
The next day.
On April 16th, the weather warmed up.
Liang Qu came to the Li family and, like the Zhang family, said the same thing. In front of Li Xiaoheng, the head of the Li family, and several other elders, he "asked for the key items to deal with the snake monster."
As a result, without much discussion, the elders of the Li family had high blood pressure, drank half of their tea, and left one after another.
I’ve seen people asking for benefits, but I’ve never seen anyone asking for them like this!
When it comes to dealing with the snake demon, there is a way.
When asked what the solution is, I have no answer!
Any words that come out of a liar's mouth are the worst possible rhetoric.
It just so happens that Liangqu Hebo’s identity is genuine, and his fourth-grade dragon-blood horse is eating spiritual herbs and chewing precious meat in his own stable!
After all, he is the one who received the Holy Emperor's orders.
A dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor.
Li Xiaoheng accepted the debt with a pinch of his nose, and then turned around to comfort the elders.
"The Zhang family inquired yesterday and found out that when Hebo conquered the Ghost Mother Sect last year, a great martial artist killed two great masters. A great martial artist can deal with a great master, so maybe Wolf Smoke can also deal with the water monster?"
The elders: “…”
in the afternoon.
The maid knocked on the door and opened it after getting permission.
The head of the family, Li Xiaoheng, stepped in and led three servants holding trays into the room.
After uncovering the red cloth, the first two things were found to be high-quality water-attributed precious plants, one fruit and one grass.
The third item was a black metal arm guard for the left hand.
Liang Qu was puzzled and pointed at the black arm guard: "Master Li, what is this?"
Li Xiaoheng explained: "My Li family and Zhang family have different livelihoods. We mainly deal in bloodstone mining. We just started the water business a few years ago. We have a shallow foundation and have not accumulated many high-quality water plants.
So I brought a local specialty of our county. Liang Shuilang, you may take a look. If it is not suitable, I will send someone to move the treasure."
Several major families in Xiangyi County started out in the bloodstone business.
The Li family came to the water as a helpless transformation due to the depletion of mineral veins. They were far inferior to the Zhang family, which had been half-rooted in the water business.
Although the quality is not good enough, we make up for it with quantity. If we really show the quantity, it will inevitably seem like we are making things difficult.
Liang Qu picked up the arm guard after hearing this.
Arm guards should not be divided into left and right, but the arm guard in front of you can not only cover the entire forearm, but also protect the palm and half of the fingers, thus distinguishing between left and right.
Quite rare.
However, the most eye-catching feature of the design is the dark red blood line that runs through the front and back of the arm guard.
The side of the arm guard was fully opened, Liang Qu put his left arm into the arm guard, and infused qi and blood into it.
Chachacha~
click!
The black metal scales surged layer by layer and naturally came together into one piece, fitting perfectly.
Liang Qu moved his five fingers and felt no difficulty. They were very light, weighing only a few dozen pounds, and were as light as a feather.
Very aesthetic arm guard.
Fiery red lines spread out from the blood line, as if a furnace was burning inside.
The more blood and energy it infused, the more blood lines spread, and the more connected it felt, like a spiritual weapon tailor-made for Liang Qu, which reminded him of his own Yuanmu Bow.
"Living spiritual weapon?" Living spiritual weapon is more valuable than ordinary spiritual weapon.
It's not that it's more powerful, but it's not picky about its owner. The upper limit of the degree of fit is worse than that of tailor-made ones, but there is a lower limit guaranteed, which makes it very convenient to circulate and buy and sell.
"Liang Shuilang is indeed very knowledgeable!" Li Xiaoheng was surprised, but still looked mostly pleased with himself, "This is an integrated arm guard made of basalt steel and mixed with two top-grade blood source stones.
It weighs thirty-six pounds and eight ounces in total. It is thin and light, and has both beauty and utility. When worn on the body, it can naturally absorb the warrior's scattered qi and blood, and can increase the power by 15% when fighting against the enemy!"
One and a half percent?
Liang Qu was slightly startled.
It turned out to be a noble damage-increasing armor!
Li Xiaoheng was worried that Liang Qu was not a local and did not know the value of the top-grade blood source stone, so he added a sentence.
"Two hundred and thirty cubes of blood stone can produce a thumb-sized blood source stone, and half a liter of blood source stone can produce a top-grade one. On average, five top-grade stones can produce a top-grade one! It's truly a treasure!
The source of the arm guard's life force is precisely these two top-grade blood stones! There is a saying in the county that top-grade blood source stones will escape, so when mining, no sound can be made, much like the herbal farmer collecting ginseng."
Natural resources are the foundation of economic development.
No wonder Bloodstone County is so rich and powerful.
Treasure mountain!
"What if I can't absorb the blood?"
Liang Qu practiced "Wansheng Baoyuan", so his strength was not wasted internally, and his Qi was not lost externally. In addition, his body was solid, so he usually lost much less Qi and blood than ordinary warriors.
"Well, you can release some of it on weekdays for it to absorb. What does Liang Shuilang think of this bloodstone arm guard?"
"very good!"
Liang Qu opened and closed his five fingers, feeling very happy.
I came to Xiangyi County and did nothing, but I ate a lot of food.
It was worth it for him to come all the way here.
comfortable.
"But... to deal with the snake demon, I still lack a few things."
Li Xiaoheng was stunned.
How can he be more greedy than those senior officials at such a young age!
"Ahem, Master Li, don't worry. The rest I want is not some valuable item, and it can be paid by both your two families!"
Li Xiaoheng remained silent.
April 17th morning.
Peddlers, fishermen, scholars, all kinds of people gathered in front of the notice board, making a bustling scene.
Towns and villages near Maoming Port and Shunfeng Port posted notices early this morning, stating that the government office had sent Dulang Liangqu, a water control officer, to eliminate the snake monster.
When the villagers heard that the government had finally sent people to fight the snake demon, word spread among them. Many of them stopped doing farm work and came early in the morning to join in the fun and watch.
Some even walked more than ten miles from other villages to read the notice.
"Someone is coming, someone is really coming, with the official seal! The monster has been causing trouble since before the New Year, and now it's almost summer, and we can finally save it!" The lame old man shouted happily.
The peasant woman carrying a vegetable basket complained: "The fishermen are not out on the boats, and the price of food has gone up by two cents!"
I don’t think fish meat is so delicious. It’s dry and has no fat. The problem was only caused to the fishermen. I never expected that without the fish, the prices of vegetables and grain would rise sharply.
Especially since the Zhang family paid the money but no fish entered the market, and the price went up by a penny, it was very uncomfortable.
"I said, how can a big snake be a problem for the imperial court? We have it in our hands!"
"Then sir, what rank is Du Shuilang?"
The scholar who helped to read the notice recalled: "Hebo Suodu Shuilang, probably a seventh-rank official?"
"Seventh rank? Isn't that the same rank as our county magistrate? Can he control a big snake?"
When people talked about grades, some people became quick-witted and realized the problem.
Although rank does not represent strength, the two are not completely unrelated, especially in the military profession.
"Didn't you hear the notice about how capable Liang Shuilang is? He cured the flood in Huazhu County last year! He even received encouragement from the Emperor!"
"Damn it, you cured the flood by yourself, is that so amazing?"
"Hey, what did the notice say? We didn't hear it just now!"
While people were discussing, new villagers pushed forward, causing a commotion under the notice board.
The soldiers hurriedly set up fences and threatened the people: "Stand back, everyone! Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be thrown into prison!"
Liang Qu stood on the second floor of Li's house and watched the excitement. From morning till now, more than a dozen waves of villagers had arrived.
He knew that the Zhang and Li families were still afraid, afraid that he would run away after receiving so many benefits.
A large family with several famous figures can easily make a county magistrate look down on others.
Although Liang Qu was also of the seventh rank, he used the excuse of being able to deal with snake monsters to take advantage of He Bo's influence and control the two families' sources of income. He manipulated them at will, causing the two families to panic.
"Does Liang Shuilang really have a way to deal with the snake demon? I am old and cannot bear the shock. Could you tell me the truth? Don't worry, only God and the earth know it, and I will never tell anyone!"
Xiangyi County Magistrate Liu Shiqin sat opposite Liang Qu, made a solemn promise, took the tea handed to him by Li's servant, and said thank you.
Liang Qu looked at the servant beside him.
Liu Shiqin understood what he meant.
"You go down first."
"Yes."
moment.
Liang Qu and Liu Shiqin were the only ones left in the room.
"It's not that I can't tell Mr. Liu."
Liang Qu picked up the tea and took a sip.
Early this morning, Liu Shiqin rushed to Li's house to see him, and his purpose was self-evident.
Liu Shiqin, who had hopes of promotion, was more anxious than the Zhang and Li families.
As for the words of guarantee, it doesn't matter. Now that things have come to this, it's time to reveal some information.
"How can a smoke signal be used to deal with a snake demon? The truth is very simple. I am not the one who should deal with the snake demon."
Liu Shiqin was stunned: "If it's not Liang Shuilang? Then who is it?"
"Then Magistrate Liu will understand."
Liu Shiqin was very upset about Liang Qu's young age and his love of being a riddle teller, but he couldn't do anything about it.
You are the only one who has come to Hebo Police Station. If you don’t deal with him, who will?
In the silence, there was a knock on the door.
Liu Shiqin tapped the table with his fingers: "Come in!"
The servant opened the door, and Zhang family's head Zhang Wenhu and Li family's head Li Xiaoheng came in together.
"Liang Shuilang, County Magistrate Liu."
"Ah."
After Li Xiaoheng finished greeting everyone, he stepped aside and had someone bring a tray. He lifted the red cloth and saw that it was filled with medicine bottles.
“Liang Shuilang, as you ordered, all the elixirs have been prepared. In addition, our two families have also prepared an extra set of detoxification pills.
The two sons of the snake demon are both extremely poisonous. Although I have never faced the snake demon head-on, the two are of the same lineage, so their toxicity should be similar. Therefore, I found an alchemist to prepare an antidote for the snake venom. "
The tray is placed on the table.
Liang Qu opened the bottle stopper and sniffed it.
Zengyuan Pills, Healing Pills, Snake Venom Pills, Huangshi Pills...all are fine.
Among them, Zengyuan Dan is the most common.
The Qi-recovering pill, Qi-replenishing pill, and Yuan-increasing pill are used in the four levels, Galloping Horse, and Wolf Smoke Realm respectively. They have the same medicinal effect and are used to restore Qi and physical strength.
In addition to the pills, there is also a tool similar to a brace in the tray, which is specifically used to place the pills and put them in the mouth.
In a life-and-death fight, there is no time to take out the bottle and take pills.
With this tool, you can shrink the size of each pill and put it into the corresponding grid. Just touch it with the tip of your tongue and the corresponding pill will roll down. It is a kind of simultaneous treatment and replenishment that is difficult to detect.
Now, Liang Qu thought he was fully armed and nothing was missing.
"Yes, all complete."
Li Xiaoheng was delighted: "Now that everything is ready, I wonder when Liang Shuilang is going to start?"
"Just today!"
