Chapter 778 Today's Disaster
Chapter 778 Today's Disaster
Steamed chicken legs with wild rice stems and some green beans, with the rapeseed oil shining golden.
Wu Long stepped on the silly chicken with one paw, squatted on the ground, stuck out his tongue and swept his tail, creating gusts of breeze.
Everyone feasted.
Liang Qu picked up some water chestnuts with chopsticks, his eyes flickering, and he looked up unconsciously. Among the dense shade of the trees, red dates were hanging on the branches.
With a goal to achieve and working hard, the passage of time will hardly attract your attention. Only when you have free time to eat and happen to see seasonal vegetables can you recall some of the past.
It's September.
The matter of Jian Zhongyi has come to an end for the time being. Compared with the long journey from Pingyang to the imperial capital, it involves the Great Snow Mountain and requires death in exchange for compensation. The Jian family of Qingzhou has to run around to make arrangements. The new prefect of Pingyang and the involvement of various forces are the real waste of time. It is definitely not possible to come up with a plan within a few days after going to the imperial capital.
At the same time, according to Umibozu's estimation, the day of Octopus King's reincarnation is getting closer.
"One last boost!"
Liang Qu swallowed the water bamboo, collected his thoughts, and quickly cleaned the rice in the bowl.
Quiet room.
Two indigo futons are next to each other.
Long Eying sat cross-legged to protect the Dharma, Liang Qu closed his eyes and communicated with Ze Ding.
The water waves hit the tripod, the energy of nature sways, and a touch of emerald green light hangs on the "branches".
[After a few days and four seasons, the essence of three thousand waters can be consumed and condensed into the seeds of creation.]
[Water Essence: 105,000]
Wow!
A green seed fell from a branch and landed at the bottom of the cauldron, splashing out a few foam flowers.
[Water Essence: 102,000]
[Seed of Creation: Four]
Seed of creation!
Liang Qu gave three to Hai Fangzhu, leaving one. After going through winter, spring, and the summer which ended today, he now has a total of four.
He did not intend to give these four to Umibozu, but to keep them for his own use.
[Seed of Creation: can be used to nurture magical powers and magical power seeds, and consume...]
Strengthen the magical power [Travel a Thousand Miles on Water]!
Facing the Octopus King and the Sea Monster King, with Liang Qu's current abilities, it was useless to stack up defenses. Any defense he could stack was just the difference between one layer of paper and two layers of paper.
Got to stack dodge!
In addition, when autumn arrived in September, not only did one more Seed of Fortune appear, but there were also an additional 35,000 water essences in the Ze Ding.
All matters, big and small, have been completed this year, and there is no other extra income, but apart from the old turtle Pengze, the Toad King is another overdraft object!
Due to the hot weather in July and August, the work was suspended for a while, with only sporadic work at night. The new ship model of Big Beaver is expected to be completed by the end of September.
One assembled ship model every two months.
According to this progress, Liang Qulong overdrew three times, covering six quotas in September, November and January of next year, in exchange for three golden gong treasure fish and three azure fish.
The golden gong fish and the blue fish are not big in size. From the perspective of aquatic essence, they are of poor quality. However, they are rare precious fish that can enhance the spirit, and help reduce the burden on supernatural powers.
The cost is not high.
With Ah Fei's help in communication, the Toad King was much easier to talk to than the old turtle. He only needed to pay the debt three times on credit and then send the boat back, and at the same time, he would give a small gadget similar to the "Liu Zi Lian Fang" as interest.
"call!"
"Strengthen your magical powers first!"
Inside the Ze Ding, the seed of creation sank into the Ze Ling.
A water-like light wave spread from the white ape's body.
Liang Qu could clearly feel that his instinctive [Water Travels a Thousand Miles] was like a sapling that had absorbed nutrients and was eager to sprout branches and leaves.
“Can you grasp the direction of growth?”
Experiencing it silently, Liang Qu vaguely felt that he could grasp the direction of gain.
Or the extreme distance, or usage consumption, or the grasp of spatial scale.
There's no need to travel a thousand miles. Even if it's a hundred miles, with Kaifangzhu pulling him, Octopus King won't be able to catch up. He won't have much spare energy, so he has to put all of it into consumption!
Four in a row.
The sense of improvement is particularly obvious. Although it is not progressive and becomes more difficult to reduce as time goes by, it seems to have reduced the consumption by 20% to 30%. On a long-distance scale, it directly adds an extra usage opportunity, and two to three times on a short-distance scale?
Experience it completely.
Another 100,000 water essences were poured into the fusion. Ze Ding Lan Ze plummeted.
[Refine Ze Ling: Water King Ape (Purple) (Fusion Degree: 75‰↑)]
The candlelight is dim.
Long Eying added lamp oil and replaced the incense with new one.
Seeing that Liang Qu was practicing seriously, he did not exercise his energy. Instead, he held his cheek, looked at her quietly with his watery eyes, and counted her eyelashes one by one.
[Dingzhu: Liang Qu]
[Refine Ze Ling: Water King Ape (Purple) (Fusion Degree: 80‰)]
[Water King Ape's fusion degree increased, obtained the spirit of heaven and earth, the river's favor +0.1121]
[River Favor: 10.6129]
Look within yourself.
There are six floors of Tianlong, two of which have been built, and the big dragon skeleton is filled with flesh and blood.
……
Haiyuan Palace.
The Octopus King kept flipping his tentacles and moving the counting sticks to tell fortunes. He did this countless times.
Delayed swallowing?
No.
Right now it is only a minor disaster, a sign of defeat but not death. If it is delayed further, it will directly jump to "disaster" in less than two years, and will be "greatly disastrous" in the next ten years or so, with the risk of destruction.
Destroy Umibozu?
Bad luck!
Give up Haifangzhu and swallow Haiyun instead?
fierce!
Don’t swallow it all?
Bad luck!
Do the math.
The Octopus King was surprised to find that it had no choice but to go down this path, choosing the best from the worst!
"Who is it, the Mermaid King? What did he see?"
The Octopus King was moody and unpredictable, and it was hard to guess who was targeting him.
The octopuses and the mermaids have been cooperating for hundreds of years to jointly develop and expand maritime commerce, and they have a close relationship. Could it be that there were some omissions in the previous two times, which allowed the Mermaid King to notice something?
Or other demon kings?
If he changes to swallowing the sea rhyme, the sea rhyme is far less nutritious than Haifangzhu, his own strength will certainly drop significantly, not much stronger than those who have just entered the realm of Demon King. In addition, he is not good at fighting, and there is even a possibility that he will be at the bottom. Why should he suddenly attack at this time?
If you don’t swallow it all, your life will naturally end?
Why would it be so disastrous if he gave up on eating and gave Kaifangzhu a chance to live?
Octopus King couldn't understand it. Could it be that Haifangzhu had climbed up to a higher position? Or had he found external help?
But will foreign aid fight against an "immortal" demon king for the sake of a sea merchant?
If you lose it, there will be endless troubles.
Or is it that Haifangzhu is too talented and will be promoted to a Martial Saint in the future to seek revenge?
It is true that the Octopus King carefully selected his wife from among his tribe, and Umibozu is not only beautiful but also has the talent to be a demon king. However, even if everything goes well, it will take decades to come.
Staring at the counting chips in front of him.
The Octopus King was silent for a long time.
"At the beginning of my reincarnation and cultivation, I have encountered the calamity of today..."
……
Algae forest.
clap clap clap!
The fat catfish swung its two long whiskers and slapped the frog's back rhythmically.
The old toad lay down in the new toad hole built by the footless frog, stretched out its two frog legs, ate a small yellow croaker in one bite, and enjoyed the massage comfortably. Suddenly, it became alert and raised its head.
In no time.
The shadow spread, and a huge brown octopus with a body several times larger than Haifangzhu swam out from Haiyuan Palace. Everyone in the market was forced to crawl on its back.
"Hurry up!"
The old toad was greatly encouraged, and he waved his flippers and slapped the fat catfish on the head.
"Let Liang Qing come quickly!"
