Chapter 17: Get another precious fish! Grow rapidly.
The Tongyu six-barbel catfish is really worth the money. It has been less than five days since the last discovery of the bullhead pomfret, and today it brought another surprise.
If one can catch a precious fish every five days on average, I'm afraid no one in the entire Yang's Martial Arts School can afford such luxury, right?
Thinking of this, Liang Qu quickened his pace and returned to Yixing City in half an hour.
There is also a swamp next to Pingyang Town, and he could actually go into the water directly, but in order not to attract attention, he chose to return to the pier.
When they arrived at the pier, Liang Qu got out of the boat and rushed to the nearby area through the direction sensing in the spiritual connection. The oars slapped the water surface, and the Zhupo Dragon, who received the call, surfaced to respond.
The Jianghuai marshes are not as peaceful as they seem. Not to mention the big monsters in the deep waters, there are some different species of pig dragons in the shallow waters, which can be up to four or five meters long and can easily overturn a small sampan. It would be safer if there were immobile guards.
Liang Qu took the scoop net and dived into the water. After eating the ox-horn pomfret, he went to sell fish and learn martial arts. He hadn't been in the water since his fusion level increased, and at this moment he just felt relaxed.
[Dingzhu: Liang Qu]
[Refine Zeling: Water Monkey (White) (Fusion Degree: )]
[Water Essence: None]
[River Favor: None]
[Control water beasts: Taihua crocodile, six-whisker catfish]
[Evaluation: The Water Monkey Ze Ling originates from the great Lord of Huaiwo. It can inspire small people with weak character and life.]
The degree of fusion has reached , and the controllable water flow has reached kilograms. The controllability has been slightly improved, proving that Liang Qu's original idea was correct.
As the degree of integration with Ze Ling increases, not only the intensity of the water flow increases, but also the controllability is improved, turning it into a water knife, and controlling the blood is just around the corner, and the scene is thriving.
And when Liang Qu saw the comment at the bottom, he began to think.
After obtaining the Ze Ding, he often observed the patterns on the tripod. If he guessed correctly, the so-called Lord of Huaiwo should be the famous Wuzhiqi.
Wuzhiqi's true form is a giant ape with a green body, a white head, golden eyes, and snow-white teeth, which matches the most eye-catching pattern on the Ze Ding.
According to legend, even Dayu and Yinglong were unable to kill it and could only imprison it under the water.
Who is Yinglong?
He is the god of creation and the ancestor of the real dragon and dragon clan in ancient mythology. Legend has it that fish and shrimp can become real dragons if they drink a sip of Yinglong's urine!
This can be seen by comparison.
As for the other patterns, they should be other water gods, and the one with a human head and a snake body is suspected to be Gonggong.
On the other side, no one knew who the Black Emperor was, but Liang Qu's intuition told him that he was very powerful, especially the gun of the spear-wielding general, which looked like it had three points and two blades. Could it be Erlang Shen? Is Erlang Shen the god of water?
In this way, Ze Ding is definitely an extraordinary artifact.
It is said that there is a dormant dragon in the deepest part of the Jianghuai marshes, sleeping for sixty years. When it wakes up, it will stir up trouble, but in front of Wuzhiqi it is just a spicy strip.
It’s a pity that he is just a water monkey, far from being the Lord of Huaiwo.
The road ahead is long and we still need to work hard!
Under the escort of Zhu Polong, Liang Qu found the fat catfish and discovered that the so-called treasure fish was actually a big-headed fish covered with orange tiger stripes!
It was exactly the tiger grouper that someone caught at the next pier last month!
But the one in front of me is huge, as long as my arm, and weighs almost six or seven kilograms. If it is sold, it may be more expensive than the previous bull horn pomfret!
Ah Fei, you are really my lucky star!
Liang Qu patted the fat catfish's head happily and asked the two beasts to go to the other two directions and surround him on three sides.
With the help of the water monkey's ability, Liang Qu was not easily discovered by fish. He let the fat catfish and the pig dragon take the lead in launching the attack.
The frightened tiger-headed banded tiger turned around and fled, but when it rushed to Liang Qu, it found that someone had ambushed it. It was too late to escape when it wanted to, and the huge inertia prevented it from turning at all.
Dozens of kilograms of water pressed on the tiger-headed grouper, restricting its body shape.
Liang Qu twisted his body and swung the scoop net, just like hitting a beautiful golf shot, trapping the grouper in the net!
Pretty!
Liang Qu quickly flipped the scoop net and wrapped the grouper in the net. He walked forward and held the fish and the net in his arms. He swam all the way back to the surface and threw them into the cabin.
After turning over and getting into the boat, Liang Qu took out a stone knife and quickly cut open the fish's belly, throwing all the internal organs, gills, and leftovers to the two beasts.
The two beasts opened their mouths and swallowed big gulps of food. They were so excited that they kept swinging their tails, splashing a lot of foam on the water surface.
"Wait, are you two getting bigger?"
Liang Qu was cooking fish fillets underwater when he suddenly noticed that the two water beasts seemed to have grown a lot. He was in a hurry to catch the treasure fish and didn't pay attention to them. He took a closer look and found that the immobile beasts were less than two meters long, but now they are definitely more than two meters long.
The same goes for the fat catfish. It was originally over two meters long, but now it has almost grown by half a circle and is almost two meters and thirty or four meters long.
He had been in charge of the two beasts for less than a month at most, which was definitely not a normal growth rate.
Liang Qu suddenly thought of Ze Ding's previous evolution hint.
Could it be that the two beasts ate the precious fish and absorbed all the water essence in the leftovers?
Communicate with Ze Ding.
[Can consume points of water essence to evolve Taihua Crocodile into Hornwood Crocodile]
[Can consume points of water essence to evolve the six-barbel catfish into a tiger-head catfish]
Sure enough, it’s missing!
Liang Qu was overjoyed. He didn't expect that the leftover food for feeding the precious fish could have such an effect. It was a completely cost-free utilization of waste!
"Okay, grow bigger, bigger means stronger, bigger means more beautiful. Come, eat more, the fish head is yours too."
Liang Qu sucked out the fish brain and threw the fish head to the two beasts.
Don't think he is a black-hearted boss, forcing the two animals that discovered the treasure fish to only eat leftovers, but everything has comparison.
After being controlled, they developed intelligence and were much smarter than before, which is why they caught the precious fish purposefully.
Before, they were in a daze. Not only did they not know what the treasure fish looked like, let alone find it. Even if they saw one, they would still think it was an ordinary fish and would not catch it unless they were hungry.
The treasure fish is stronger, faster, and more difficult to catch than ordinary fish.
All in all, they made money.
A seven-pound tiger grouper still has more than four pounds of meat after removing the inedible parts. Even though the fish meat itself is extremely fresh and sweet, it was completely forced to eat in the end. Fortunately, the aquatic essence contained in it did not disappoint him.
[Water Essence +]
After sucking out the marrow from the fish bones, Liang Qu threw the bones to the two beasts. He was a little out of breath and his whole body was hot, but he still insisted on getting up and started exercising according to the methods of Ape Fist.
It is best to practice martial arts right after eating treasure fish, so don't waste the opportunity.
The quality of tiger grouper is not as good as that of ox-horn pomfret, but it is better in quantity and the overall benefit of qi and blood is greater.
Liang Qu was punching and soon he felt the heat all over his body, and then the breath in his chest appeared again.
It only appeared halfway through the attack before, but now it appears just after three piles have been driven. This shows that the effect of the treasure fish is indeed extraordinary.
As his breath circulated, it grew rapidly, and Liang Qu began to quickly secrete sweat and oil. By the time he finished the whole set, he looked like he had been fished out of the water.
Liang Qu drank up the fish soup to replenish his water. Feeling that the fish meat in his stomach had not been fully digested, he forced himself to fight again despite his fatigue.
He beat it three times in a row until dark, and the fish meat in his stomach was completely digested.
At this moment, the breath in his chest had grown from a trace to as thick as a handful of hair. It did not dissipate immediately, but circulated for another half a quarter of an hour.
Liang Qu collapsed on the boat, too exhausted to move, and fell into a deep sleep with drooping eyelids.
The pig dragon and the catfish circled around the boat, guarding it quietly.
The next morning, Liang Qu, covered in sticky water, jumped into the water, washed himself thoroughly, and came ashore again. He had more obvious muscle contours, was taller, and looked more heroic.
According to Hu Qi, as long as the air in the chest is as strong as a little finger, one can start to refine the skin and break through the barrier. With the current progress, it will probably take less than three months?
Breaking through the skin barrier is just around the corner!
Liang Qu was in a very good mood. He looked at the rising sun, as if he saw a brand new life for himself.
"Ah Fei, go catch some fish. Don't move. Then go and look after the lotus roots."
