Chapter 763: Upside Down
Chapter 763: Upside Down
The iron chains rattled.
Cold and quiet.
Liang Qu was confused at first, but then he thought about it and grasped the key information.
Does the Octopus King have the ability to turn people into fish?
He knew that monsters could change their bodies to a certain extent to gain an advantage over their enemies, especially big monsters, which could grow limbs, learn martial arts, and use weapons. But changing other people's bodies was somewhat bizarre, not unlike the animal-making technique in the storybooks.
"Eh……"
Umibozu sighed softly, loosened his tentacles' suction cups, pressed his head against the transparent box in disappointment, and spread out his whole body like water.
The little fish flicked its fins, immediately changed direction and swam in front of Umibozu, rubbing against the suction cup through the "glass", trying to prove itself.
Umibozu remained unmoved.
hiss!
How can I prove that I am me?
Liang Qu was in a dilemma.
half an hour.
Two more spiny-finned fish swam underground, followed by the third, fourth, and fifth...
All the small fish in Haiyuan Palace clung to the rock surface and swam towards the bottom. In a short while, more than a hundred small fish swam back and forth across the sea, their bodies sparkling, which finally attracted the attention of Haifangzhu, who raised his head.
"Really Xiaoshui?"
The small fish flapped their fins, forming a big Chinese character "真" (true) in an orderly manner.
Umibozu pressed his tentacles against the barrier again, the suction cups firmly attached, his eyes fixed.
Seeing this, the little fish quickly arranged animal figures like stick figures, a fat fish with long whiskers, a giant turtle carrying a mountain, a big-headed frog holding an anchor...
The tentacles on the barrier squeezed and spread.
Umibozu's eyes widened.
"Xiao Shui, how did you do it?"
The little fishes arranged themselves into a monkey and touched their heads.
Kaifangzhu immediately understood his own situation and knew that now was not the time to ask questions.
"Xiao Shui, if it's really you, you need to listen carefully to what I say next."
The little fishes lined up in formation and nodded in unison.
"I need at least two of your human race's Luan Dian Feng Dao Dan!"
"???"
Liang Qu, who was trying to contact Xiaoyu from a distance, was confused.
Luan Dian Feng Dao Dan?
Just from the name, you can tell that this is not a serious medicine.
This is true.
During his previous trip to the academy, Liang Qu looked through many books that introduced dual cultivation. Among them, there was a book that specifically devoted a section to introducing this elixir.
In terms of efficacy, Luandianfeng can be regarded as the top elixir in dual cultivation. It uses the Yin-Yang Orchid, a great medicine of creation, as the main ingredient. It has incredibly strong sexual power and is especially suitable for replenishing Yin and Yang!
That's right!
Take yin to replenish yang!
After swallowing a huge pill, they then had sex. However, the strength of the "Yin" party was slightly weaker, so there was almost no chance of survival, and she died on the spot!
The person who takes the pill can not only reap the medicinal power of the pill itself, but it is also equivalent to "eating" the woman and inheriting most of her cultivation.
Are you sure it's not an enemy?
Haifangzhu noticed that Xiaoyu was confused, but he didn't explain it specifically. He slowly told Xiaoyu what he had prepared.
"The Octopus King is over nine hundred years old this year, but the actual life span of our demon king is about six hundred years. The Octopus King has been able to live to this day because he borrowed a child to reincarnate!"
Live three hundred more years?
Reincarnation through borrowing a child?
Liang Qu kept it firmly in mind, vaguely feeling that he had grasped some key point.
"The human race is born with wisdom, and the Octopus tribe also has racial talents. When the two sides reproduce, the female swallows the male and can inherit 80% or even 90% of the strength."
Eighty to ninety percent!
Hiss, what an incredible conversion rate!
Liang Qu was shocked. He digested a precious fish, and gained a double benefit from the fish meat itself and the essence of the water. The efficiency might not be as high as this time!
"The same is true for the case of the son devouring the mother. If the mother is willing to sacrifice herself, most of her cultivation will be passed on to her unborn child!"
Wait a minute...
Liang Qu always felt that something was not connected.
The mother swallows the male, the male swallows the mother...
In the entire reproduction cycle, the Octopus King should be the first to be swallowed!
“I know Xiaoshui must be confused as to why I was the one being eaten, because the Octopus King’s reincarnation through the use of a child was entirely dependent on the two creation techniques he practiced, which can be considered supreme magical powers.
One is "reversing yin and yang". When the reproduction really starts, I will become a male octopus, and the Octopus King will become a female octopus."
This is this...
The little fish stood there in a daze.
"It will devour me, and then use its own body to reproduce offspring. While it is gestating, it will use its second creation technique, 'Immortality', to gradually replace the offspring's flesh and blood."
Immortality? Replacement of flesh and blood?
It reminds me of a man turning into a fish.
The small fish are arranged in the shape of an octopus, with one tentacled foot behind it.
The octopus suddenly collapsed and turned into a monkey like a whirlwind, and the monkey gradually evolved into a small fish.
Although trapped in a cage, Umibozu remained optimistic and chuckled with his hands covering his mouth.
“That’s right. Being immortal, the Octopus King’s flesh and blood regeneration ability has reached its limit. It can be reborn continuously after being severely injured. Even if only half of its tentacle is left, there is still hope that it can recover as before. Moreover, its flesh and blood is extremely corrosive.
The Octopus King can let his flesh and blood drill into other people's bodies, slowly grow and replace them, and finally do whatever he wants, turning people into fish, fish into other things, or just lurk motionless and conduct external monitoring.
Using this characteristic, the Octopus King will infect the flesh and blood of its offspring in the womb until it becomes the offspring and the offspring becomes it, completing the second devouring of the mother. Although it will be weak for several months, it can extend its lifespan by two to three decades after it fully recovers. "
Two to three decades, less than two hundred years.
The Octopus King is over nine hundred years old.
Is it...
"I am already Octopus King's third wife, and Haiyun will be the fourth!"
Snapped!
"Liang Qing! Quick!"
The old toad slapped Liang Qu on the back with a loud and crisp sound.
Liang Qu cut off all links in an instant.
Wow~
All the small fish stood there in a daze, and when they saw Umibozu clinging to the barrier, they fled in all directions.
Umibozu shut up in time.
The bottom of the Haiyuan Palace was dark and gloomy, with a large box suspended by thick chains, hanging upside down under the rock wall.
Wait for a while.
Umibozu retracted his tentacles and retreated to a corner.
Algae forest.
"What a powerful Octopus King!"
Liang Qu sat cross-legged and digested the information silently.
Should I say it's worthy of being an octopus?
The Octopus King can be said to have developed his flesh and blood to the extreme in a certain strange direction!
"What's the matter? Have you found out clearly?" the old toad urged.
"It's not complete, I only know part of it." Liang Qu told the old toad everything he knew.
The old toad showed disdain: "Divination and reincarnation, you are just a coward, you can survive, but you can't fight! Not as good as my king!"
Liang Qu gave a thumbs up: "Since ancient times, those who fear death will die, and those who covet life will not be able to do so. The Frog King is the real leader of the aquatic creatures, the future of Jianghuai!"
Seek fortune and avoid disaster, fortune-telling and divination, and fight invisibly.
A day and night rotate.
Xiaoyu revisits the underground palace.
Umibozu swam out from the corner: "Xiaoshui?"
The little fish turned around swiftly.
Upon seeing this, Haifangzhu continued with what he had said yesterday.
"Although the flesh and blood of the Octopus King can parasitize on other people, it can actually flexibly control no more than eight people, and it needs to be reattached to the body before it can know everything."
Eight?
Is the number of cerebellums comparable to that of an octopus?
Liang Qu suddenly understood why he was trusted as soon as he brought out hundreds of small fish.
The Octopus King doesn't have that ability.
Haifangzhu leaned against the barrier and said, "Before, Haiyun and I had the tentacles of the Octopus King on us. At first, the Octopus King said it was to protect us, but now I think it was clearly surveillance."
Small fish surround the large box.
I didn't notice it before, but now I realize that Haifangzhu has two very short tentacles and light color, almost blue and white, like a young bud.
No wonder the news had to be transmitted so secretly. It turned out that there was a surveillance camera installed on his body, which would be connected to the Internet from time to time to transmit information to the big boss.
According to Xu Wenzhu's analysis, Haifangzhu should have guessed it long ago, but he just didn't dare to confirm it.
It was not until the Octopus King revealed his true face and she was completely imprisoned that she used some unknown method to pass on a brief piece of information without the Octopus King being able to detect or divine.
The little fish turned in a circle.
Umibozu understood the meaning.
"The court gave me the Great Pill. If you can use it to replace the Octopus King, I will return it tenfold! And I will also set up a new sea merchant stationed in Jianghuai!"
The little fish drew the word "几".
Liang Qu was just a messenger. Although he could influence the decision-making a little, whether the court was willing to invest money or not, the rate of return was one aspect, but the key still depended on Haifangzhu's success rate.
Umibozu hesitated for a moment and raised his two tentacles.
"Less than 20%..."
