Chapter 784: Unannounced
Chapter 784: Unannounced
"Do a somersault!"
On the rocky beach, algae grow in the cracks. Starfish swing their five limbs to freely catch the floating algae.
Liangqu lit up the golden eyes.
The flat little yellow croaker swung its fins on both sides, leaped with all its might, and did a backflip out of nowhere.
However, the somersault does not conform to the physiological characteristics of the small yellow croaker. When it flips in mid-air, it is disturbed by the water flow and rolled to the side, swaying like a maple leaf and sticking to the stone surface.
Long Eying laughed.
Liang Qu struck while the iron was hot and let the small yellow croaker turn over again.
The so-called protection means not allowing other monsters to disturb Haifangzhu's retreat, so that she can be promoted with peace of mind.
The reincarnation location of the Octopus King is very remote, not to mention monsters, there are only a few small fish.
When he had nothing to do, Liang Qu led Long Eying to search for strange aquatic species around the cave. When he saw interesting and good-looking small fish and shrimps, he would [Forced Control] them and let them perform backflips.
Long Eying never gets tired of watching it.
Backflip, frontflip, chasing its own tail, swimming like a snake, the little yellow croaker performed various moves one after another, and the waves gradually turned orange.
Liang Qu looked up.
The setting sun cast uneven beams of light. Before he knew it, it was dinner time. He fed half a small fish to make up for the loss. He cut the connection, and the small yellow croaker threw out bubbles and fled into the crevice of the rock.
"For several days, Xiaoyu wouldn't get close to you unless the elder used some tricks." Long Eying teased.
"Nonsense, how can there be none?" Liang Qu denied, "I know of one."
"Which one?"
"You!"
Long Eying blushed slightly.
"Hey, let's eat. I don't know how many octopus balls I cooked today. Let's take a look first."
Boom boom boom!
Inside the cave, there was a constant sound of hammering.
The fat catfish wrapped its two long tentacles around the round stone and pounded it back and forth, alternating between the two and hitting it hard into the ice mortar.
In the mortar lay a pool of rotten white meat mixed with ice crystals. Occasionally, it seemed to be alive, climbing up the ice wall and wriggling and struggling.
There is an ice bucket next to the mortar, which is filled with processed and devitalized white meat.
This method comes from the suggestion of the head chef, Tata Kai.
If there are no precious plants to break down the meat, you can use physical means to smash the meat of the octopus king into meat paste, then blanch it in boiling water to make octopus meatballs, add a little kelp and white mushrooms, and make a fresh soup.
The only difficulty is that the octopus's flesh and blood are too active and will wriggle like liquid. If it weren't for Eying's freezing and restraint, ordinary physical attacks would hardly be effective. It would take half a day to destroy just a small piece, which is very inefficient.
Therefore, the entire heavy responsibility fell on the water beasts.
Look past the fat catfish.
Round-headed, immobile, and mighty, the water beasts were all busy, their fists were the most efficient and they were the most serious, their two large pincers swung the ground with great force.
Nearly half of the octopus balls eaten every day come from its crab claws.
Oh.
wrong.
It must be the small mirage dragon.
With its two little paws folded, the little mirage dragon lies on its immobile long horns, resting with its legs crossed. Beside it, there are rows of "white fists", waving their big claws in unison.
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"
Liang Qu waved.
Wuhu.
The water beasts leaped and cheered.
The fat catfish flicked its whiskers and was the first to drop the pebble. He collected the frozen meat in his fists, held a bucket of fish meat in each of his claws, and rushed out.
The stove is made of blue bricks, and the big fire licks the bottom of the pot.
White mist billows up.
The weather is getting colder.
The rocky island built with the civil engineering talent of the fat catfish is shrouded in boiling water and white mist.
La La Kai grabbed the big iron spoon, stirred the boiling water in the pot, and sprinkled in a handful of green leaves.
The water beasts surrounded the island, lined up with their mouths wide open, waiting for the otters to feed them.
[Water Essence +16]
[Water Essence +15]
[Water Essence +16]
There is not much quantity in a single fish ball, but the advantage is that it is continuous. After drinking the fish ball soup for half a month, the blue tide will cover the bottom of the pot again.
Take a look at the total amount.
[Water Essence: 9,200]
Before the war, there were less than two thousand essences left in Liangqu Lake.
During the battle, dozens of water dragon spears were thrown and all of them were destroyed.
Hundreds of fish were soaked in the half-moon sea, and now there are more than 8,000, all of which were obtained by eating tentacles.
Long Eying despised it and only ate normal fish meatballs. The water beasts worked and shared half of them, and the amount of meat they consumed was only a few tenths!
Moreover, they started eating from the back, leaving the most essential part, the front, untouched!
The amount of water essence per unit volume of the monster is far less than that of the treasure fish, but even so, it is still exaggerated.
Should the entire bottle contain one million water essences?
"Relying solely on food is still too slow. I only take in a few hundred a day. When I return to shore, I should look for an opportunity to refine a large pill..."
Wow!
The frog's head emerged from the water, shaking off the water stains. Liang Qu reached out to cover the porcelain bowl to block the splashes.
"Frog? A bowl of fish ball soup?"
"No, no, no! It's November, time to go ashore!" The old toad swung the yellow leather bag and urged.
"November already?"
Liang Qu calculated silently and was surprised to find that it was true. He was so happy protecting the road recently that he didn't want to leave.
About half a month...the travel time isn’t that much.
"The frog has opened its mouth, and it is time to set off!"
The old toad was overjoyed: "Hurry up, hurry up, let them promote me!"
"Eying..."
"I will be careful."
"Awei and the third prince stay here, and half of the porpoises stay here. If you have anything to say, tell them. If you have nothing to say, they can help you to relieve your boredom."
"it is good."
"Ah Fei, stop eating! Fist, Roundhead, get to work!"
At the command of the gods, the water beasts "swallowed everything whole" and dived to pack up.
The river otters tied chains to the water beasts, and the fat catfish and other beasts pulled the ice and dragged them into the vortex waterway.
……
The bright moon hangs high.
The candlelight flickered.
On the top floor of Heboso, all the great masters gathered together upon hearing the news, their eyes sparkling.
"Fortunately, I live up to my fate!"
Liang Qu handed over the album pages one by one like dealing cards.
The album contains a detailed account of what the White Ape, Umibozu and Frog Gong did, and was written during his spare time when he returned home.
Turning silently.
Everyone's face was filled with joy.
good boy!
It’s so beautifully done!
Things went much more smoothly than expected!
The reputation of the long dragon crossing the river is well-deserved. Its ability to stir up wind and rain and catch big fish is the envy of countless people.
"Did you handle it cleanly? Did you leave any traces behind?" Xu Wenzhu asked. "The Octopus King is immortal. If he is contaminated by regeneration, and some of his flesh and blood escapes, he will be in big trouble!"
Coincidentally.
Last year, when he escorted Liang Qu to Pingyang, it happened that Hai Fangzhu sent the long energy of heaven and earth. Xu Yuelong had to go into seclusion. As a father, Xu Wenzhu stayed until the beginning of the year. As a result, the matter of the reincarnation of the Eight Claws King happened. After a few letters, the court simply let Xu Wenzhu and Lan Jicai stay in Pingyang temporarily to give advice.
"I can't guarantee whether there was any blood or flesh left. The fight between Haifangzhu and Octopus King was too intense, and the white ape didn't dare to get too close. There were indeed a lot of debris afterwards, but Frog Gong thought it was okay, and he also caught back the only tentacle that bothered it."
This statement came out.
Everyone's brows relaxed.
The recorder and military officer of the Hebo Office understood what was going on after staying there for a long time.
"How long will it take for Haifangzhu to become a demon king after swallowing the Octopus King?"
"The Sea Lord said it could take as little as two months or as long as half a year. In addition, she needs to control the maritime merchants. During this period, she needs to inform the Mermaid King and the Whale King. She will not be able to fulfill her promise until the beginning of autumn next year."
"not long."
Su Guishan stroked his beard.
The Martial Saint lived to be eight hundred years old. The ordinary correspondence in the imperial capital Pingyang was counted on a monthly basis, so half a year was not a very long time span.
There are permanent maritime merchants here, plus the Lanzhou port.
The changes in Huaiyin Prefecture over the past few decades may not be as great as those in Pingyang Prefecture in recent years!
Everyone has contributed!
The only problem.
Xu Wenzhu reminded: "After all, this is meddling with the Sea Tribe Demon King. This matter should not be publicized in a big way."
Liang Qu's heart skipped a beat: "Then my..."
"Don't worry. Even if you don't tell anyone, you will still be rewarded for your contributions. Wait for Haifangzhu to fulfill his promise, and you can get the title!"
"Thank you, General Xu!"
Liang Qu was overjoyed. After a pause, he looked at Su Guishan again and said, "Governor, I may have to go to the imperial capital at the end of the year."
"Alchemy?"
"Exactly!"
"You should go. For such an important matter, you should go to see the emperor in person."
Su Guishan was in a good mood.
He looked at the harvest on the album.
It is normal to use the crossing wrist to disrupt the secrets of heaven. Nature and man are one, throwing a stone will cause ripples, and the trend will cause waves. The unique crossing wrist has more "weight" and is naturally more misleading. But no one expected that Haifangzhu would give the crossing wrist to Liang Qu.
The demon king uses his arms and feet to make elixirs.
Alchemists of such ability can only be found in the imperial capital and Nanzhili.
"That's perfect. Take a break for two days and sort out the news. I'll send you to the imperial capital on a chosen day!"
