Chapter 29: Counting Harvest

Chapter 29 Counting Harvest

After laughing, Liang Qu became breathless, and his wounds began to bleed and became even more painful.

He took a deep breath, sat up straight, and untied the cloth around his waist.

"hiss!"

The corner of Liang Qu's mouth twitched.

The rough linen was soaked with blood, which quickly hardened under the cold wind and adhered firmly to the scabbed wound.

To tear it open means to forcibly open the scabbed wound.

But it had to be uncovered, because there were not only blood scabs on the burlap, but also a lot of mud and sand that had been blown up during the battle and seeped in.

This is the reason why I didn’t eat the lotus root but bandaged the wound first. There is gravel in the wound, and eating lotus root will cause the wound and the gravel to grow together.

At that time, he had no time to clean the wound carefully and pick out the stones.

Liang Qu peeled off the bloody sackcloth and threw it into the water.

After cleaning the wound again, he ate two pieces of lotus root and watched the wound slowly heal.

Still poor, Liang Qu lamented.

If you can afford brocade and silk, you can use it as gauze. Linen is too rough and will grow together with your flesh and blood.

Fortunately, it was only some muscle and skin injuries, not serious, and the lotus root took effect quickly.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the blood-red muscle tissue was no longer visible, the dermis had completely grown out, no longer bleeding, and a thick layer of blood scab had formed, leaving only a slight pain and severe itching.

The intense tingling sensation made Liang Qu want to peel off the scab, but he knew that this was proof that the cells were rapidly dividing to fill the wound, so he held back and just scratched the skin around the wound a few times to relieve the itch.

After all, the tingling feeling is much better than pain. Without pain to stimulate the brain, Liang Qu felt comfortable all over.

It was as if the severe abdominal pain suddenly disappeared. I was clearly just returning to normal, but in comparison, I felt inexplicably comfortable and as if I was floating in the clouds.

The wound was almost healed, and Liang Qu couldn't wait to get up and go into the water.

If he had to say what he was most looking forward to after this battle, it would undoubtedly be the harvest phase, just as he had thought at the beginning.

How much water essence can a monster provide?

In his previous life, he lived for more than 20 years in vain. He had never even seen a king crab, let alone eaten one. Now he wanted to eat a super giant crab that was taller than a person. It was so tempting.

Back to the bottom of the water, the two beasts guarded the crab monster's body like watchdogs, one lying on the rocks nearby and the other lying in the mud.

Seeing Liang Qu, the two beasts stood up, shook off the dust, and showed the same excitement.

According to the previous rules, the gods would reward him with the scraps that he didn't want. This time the crab was so big, so there must be a lot of scraps.

But the two beasts guessed wrong.

Liang Qu was ready to share the delicious crab meat with them, not because he was suddenly generous.

This crab monster is really too big!

He couldn't finish all the meat by himself before it went bad.

One man and two beasts began to dismember the giant crab monster.

Liang Qu pulled out the broken spear that had pierced into the crab monster's body, removed the flint at the front end, and cut the joint membrane at the connection of the giant claws.

Below, the crab monster's legs were bitten and could not move, spinning in death, and being dismembered one by one.

The fat catfish was trying to retrieve the two crab legs it had taken earlier. Its bite force was not strong enough to remove the crab legs at all. It could only cheer and wait for the meat to be eaten.

After removing all the giant claws, Liang Qu cut open the joint membrane on the back shell, reached into the large back shell of the crab monster's upper body, and pried it up with force.

It’s too difficult, even harder than carrying things at a construction site.

Liang Qu's face flushed red, bubbles came out of his mouth, and he used all his strength to lift them up bit by bit.

Click click click.

The flesh, blood and fascia inside were torn off from the back shell, and the resistance became smaller and smaller. Finally, Liang Qu gathered all his strength and lifted it up violently, finally removing the back shell completely.

In an instant, a huge crab roe as long as a human arm and as wide as a human head came into view, and Liang Qu's eyes were dazzled. The two beasts drooled, unable to move, and even forgot what they were going to do. It was not until Liang Qu came to his senses and was about to collect the crab roe that they remembered to report the situation.

"Well, I can't move. What did you find?"

Liang Qu received the information from the neural link and stopped what he was doing.

The upper body of the Pig Dragon was in a semi-upright position, with its short claws raised and pointing at the abdomen of the crab monster's lower body.

Liang Qu looked in the direction of the immobile short claws and discovered that under the navel of the front half of the crab monster's body there were actually many fist-sized translucent balls, more than a dozen in total.

Is this crab roe?

Liang Qu was shocked and quickly opened the navel cover and took out a round ball to observe it carefully.

The crab roe is very large, as big as an adult's fist, translucent orange-yellow in color, somewhat like the dragon balls in Dragon Ball. And because it is large enough, you can directly see the small crab monsters that have already formed inside.

Crabs are different from fish. Fish are fertilized externally, laying eggs first and then fertilizing them, while crabs are fertilized first and then laying eggs. As long as the eggs are fertilized, they will all mature into adults.

The small crab monster is almost exactly the same as the big crab monster, with a towering upper body and six legs in the lower body, like a dreadnought, except that its shell is milky white.

Normally, crabs would have tens of thousands of eggs, but here there were only thirteen. Liang Qu guessed that it was because the crab had become a monster.

After becoming stronger, the crab monster naturally changed from an R-strategy creature, that is, an opportunist who relied on quantity to win, to a K-strategist who took steady steps and cherished every life.

Otherwise, tens of millions of crab monsters would have occupied the Jianghuai swamps long ago. How would humans survive?

By the way, can I control crab roe?

Liang Qu had a bold idea.

It's impossible to directly control the crab monster. The mental shock might kill it, but the young ones that haven't hatched from the eggs should be fine, right?

Liang Qu's spiritual connection value is about two to three immobile. The fat catfish is stronger than the immobile. After controlling two, there are only to immobile vacant positions left.

Although the place is not big, it should not be a problem to control a fertilized egg.

"Don't worry, leave it there for now until I finish eating the crab monster's meat."

Liang Qu left the martial arts hall in the morning and hurried to Zeye. He didn't even have lunch and was already starving.

He took out the crab roe and a crab leg and returned to the boat. He set up a stove to boil water, and after the water boiled, he put in the crab roe and crab meat.

When cooked through, remove the crab roe and crab meat and make two meatballs of equal weight.

The flesh of aquatic organisms decays very quickly after death, especially crustaceans, because their internal organs contain a lot of bacteria and liquid water. Once the balance of the body is destroyed, it will completely deteriorate within a few hours.

The capacity of Liangqu's stomach is limited, so the high-value parts must be selected and eaten as soon as possible.

I ate two meatballs separately. The golden crab roe was rich and mellow, and the snow-white crab meat was fresh, fragrant and sweet.

[Water Essence +]

[Water Essence +]

The first part of the prompt is to eat the crab roe, and the second part is to eat the crab meat.

The value of crab roe is indeed higher, but the intake value is too high, almost the same as half a precious fish!

Liang Qu's eyes turned red after getting the verification result. He immediately put in more crab roe and threw the remaining crab meat to the two beasts.

[Water Essence +1]

[Water Essence +]

[Water Essence +]

Fusion! Fusion! Improve the fusion for me!

Liang Qu ate hard, looking at the Ze Ding glowing, an unprecedented sense of satisfaction surged in his heart.

He's going to be invincible.
