Chapter 62: Commanding the Tianshui Centipede
The blue-green light reflected on the top wall of the stone cave, as if it was inlaid with colorful gems, but Liang Qu didn't notice the fatal danger hidden in the gems at all.
Too stealthy, too fast.
The attacker blended in with the surroundings, and his attack was as fast as lightning. He only caught a glimpse of a blurry light and shadow with the corner of his eye.
Then Liang Qu felt his shoulder sink, and another black shadow flew out, colliding directly with the attacker and knocking him away.
When he came to his senses again, Liang Qu found that the fist that had been on his shoulder had disappeared, leaving only six tiny footprints on his shoulder.
He didn't react, but his fist did!
The fist and the black shadow fell to the ground together, and the collision between the shell and the stone made a crisp metallic sound.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the attacker moved his limbs to escape, but he leaped in front of the black shadow with his fists prepared long ago, and swung his huge claws to clamp one end of the black shadow.
The black shadow curled up its body and opened its mouth to try to bite back, but was clamped by the neck by another giant claw.
The power of the fist completely crushed the attacker. As soon as its claws opened, the black shadow's entire body was forced to unfold. It struggled violently, its body constantly rising and falling and stretching, but it was powerless.
He subdued the attacker, swung his fists and six legs, and quickly came to Liang Qu, holding his pincers high as if he was holding a treasure to present to the gods.
Liang Qu, who had just recovered from his shock, was covered in cold sweat. He was really frightened by the black shadow that suddenly jumped out. The underwater danger is really hard to guard against.
Liang Qu moved his fist closer to some glowing vines, squatted down and found that the shadow was actually a giant centipede. Its crystal clear shell was like a sapphire, contrasting with the blue water waves, and it exuded a dangerous aura from head to toe.
Water centipede!
Liang Qu became more and more frightened, because he recognized this kind of creature.
A kind of extremely poisonous centipede that lives in water. It has amazing bite force. It only grows to three inches long, and an ordinary person will die in a matter of moments after being bitten by it. It is a poisonous insect that everyone fears.
The one in front of him was six inches long, larger than the distance between the index finger and the thumb on an open palm. Even though he had become a warrior, he would be in big trouble if bitten.
"You did a great job, fist!"
Liang Qu reached out his hand around the centipede and knocked on the back of his fist.
The water centipede raised its fist higher in encouragement.
"Can water centipedes be controlled?"
Liang Qu became interested in the struggling water centipede.
Now that his power has greatly increased, he has freed up mental space to control the new water beast.
When it comes to fishing, it is more than enough to not move the fattened catfish. In this case, the focus of command should be on improving combat effectiveness.
But Liang Qu's mental strength was only enough to make one "unable to move". It was not the current three-meter-and-a-half-meter-long crocodile that could not move, but the Taihua crocodile that was less than two meters long at the beginning.
It is impossible to control the monsters with this amount of surplus. They can easily be turned into fools by the backlash, and even if they catch another big fish, it will be useless.
That one poisonous water bug is the best choice.
poison.
The most effective way for the weak to defeat the strong.
The water centipede in front of you is six inches long. As long as it breaks the defense, ordinary warriors will be in trouble. The key is that it is small in size, not as strange as a fist, and difficult to hide, so you can carry it with you at any time.
Liang Qu searched nearby and found a sharp stone. He tried to cut his finger, but the stone broke and only a shallow wound was left on his finger.
Hiss, after refining the skin, ordinary stones are no longer useful.
I have to find some time to find Senior Brother Lu and buy him a dagger.
Liang Qu felt helpless. He squeezed out a few drops of blood from the small wound and spread them evenly on his fingers, then used his fist to press the centipede flat on the ground.
The back of the six-inch-long water centipede was too narrow, so Liang Qu had to stack three fingers together in a "品" shape and draw a narrow water symbol on its back. Ze Ding radiated light.
The blood-colored water talisman instantly covered the waves in the stone cave and slowly seeped into the body of the water centipede.
The water centipede was stimulated and curled up its body from head to tail, with its segments closing together until it became a round blue bead that rolled to the bottom of the low-lying area in the cave.
A strong but bearable stinging pain came from deep within Liang Qu's brain. He squatted on the ground, covering his head and enduring it.
When he came to his senses, the mental connection in his mind was almost filled. Although there was still a little bit missing, the remaining little bit was probably enough to control a small fish, which was the same as having nothing.
What's going on? Controlling a water centipede takes up so much space? Like a crocodile?
Communicate with Ze Ding.
[The water beast Tianshui Centipede has been controlled and can evolve. 】
Tianshui centipede, not water centipede?
Liang Qu was surprised because the names displayed by Ze Ding have always been common names, just like Taihua crocodile is Taihua crocodile, not anything else.
Why is this water centipede called the Tianshui centipede?
The focus of Liang Qu's reading these two days was the six volumes of "Haomutang Miscellaneous Notes and Annotations". He had basically read through them and had never heard of the Tianshui centipede.
As if in response to the doubt, the Ze Ding in his mind glowed.
[Tianshui Centipede: The water centipede is nourished by the water ganoderma and the flesh and blood of the warrior, and undergoes a mutation. It can consume one thousand points of water essence and evolve the Tianshui Centipede into a large-winged Tianshui Centipede.]
Oh my god, one thousand points of water essence!
More evolved than fists.
The fist is already a monster, so the Tianshui centipede is also a monster, and even stronger?
Liang Qu was overjoyed. He didn't expect that he had accidentally managed to control a little monster. No wonder it was so small, but the mental strength required was comparable to that of an adult Taihua crocodile.
Liang Qu didn’t quite understand the flesh and blood of the warriors in the information.
He knew about the water Ganoderma. Apart from the one as big as a human head, he saw many bare rhizomes nearby, which were obviously small Ganoderma that had been eaten by the water centipede.
Warrior's flesh and blood.
Liang Qu picked up the blue bead on the ground with his index and middle fingers and gently pinched it. In an instant, the blue bead stretched out and turned into a six-inch long centipede with blue armor on its back and a metallic luster!
The centipede raised its upper body, its mouthparts looked ferocious and extremely powerful. Upon closer inspection, the part that was clamped by the fist was not damaged at all, and its shell was still as hard as iron.
"You are so mighty, so I will call you Awei."
The Tianshui centipede trembled its hundred legs and turned in a circle in Liang Qu's palm.
"Where's that human-shaped thing you ate?"
Through telepathic communication, Awei, who had awakened his spiritual intelligence, easily understood Liang Qu's meaning. He rotated his upper body and pointed in a certain direction inside the stone cave.
With the help of the dim light from the vines, Liang Qu discovered that there was actually a narrow crack there. He had to lean sideways to enter, and the crack was covered with moss.
Having learned from previous experience, Liang Qu let Quanshi and Awei go in first to explore the way, and only tried to squeeze in after there were no problems.
He tightened his waist and abdomen, and with the help of the wet and sticky feeling of the moss, he slid in easily.
I stood outside the crack unable to move, and yet I wanted to slide in, but I couldn't do it because it was too wide and I couldn't use any strength to turn sideways.
The fat catfish floated on the water and couldn't even get onto the platform, so it could only sigh at the stones.
After entering the crack, it is very narrow at first. After walking a few steps, you will come to a very small space of about two or three square meters. There are also glowing vines here.
Beneath the vines, a moss-covered skeleton sat cross-legged.
The skeleton hung its head, its teeth were incomplete, and half of its jaw had fallen off, leaving behind a sinister smile.
