Chapter 116 Killing fish!
The vast river wind brings moisture and warmth to Huainan, and green and hairy grass emerges from the ground, like spring water rising from the depths of the earth.
Under the tree roots, small orange flowers are the first to bloom. Dense moss spreads deeper along the narrow entrance of the cave. After a winter of slumber, the thin snake crawls out of the cave slightly stiffly.
The sound of birds fluttering their feathers came rapidly from far and near. An eagle folded its wings, stretched out its sharp claws, and flew through the branches and leaves like a sharp arrow, creating a long shadow, spreading its wings and flying to the tree trunk.
The sharp beak tore open the snake's belly, and dark red blood dripped down the branches onto the small flowers.
The sound of fast horse hooves tore through the calm, shaking down the snake carcass hanging upside down, causing the giant eagle to flee out of the woods in shock.
Liang Qu took the lead, and the tiny yellow flowers flew up under the horse's hooves and fell to the ground into pieces.
He glanced sideways at the flying giant eagle, and out of the corner of his eye was Yang Dongxiong, who was dressed in pitch black armor and had a square-headed straight sword hanging from his waist.
After that, seven senior brothers, all dressed in fancy clothes and riding big horses, followed up one after another, burying the fallen yellow flowers in the dust.
After about a quarter of an hour, Liang Qu reined in his horse.
Through the gaps in the trees, you can already see the lake sparkling in the sun not far away.
Yang Dongxiong raised his hand and everyone ordered to stop it.
"right here?"
Liang Qu nodded: "It's the lake in front. There are three sturgeon spirits roaming around at the mouth of the lake. I didn't dare to go in for fear of an accident."
"You're right not to dare to enter. If you get close to the water, you will be blessed, but there will also be dangers."
Xu Zishuai rode forward: "Did master notice something?"
"A little bit, but it's not accurate yet. It's estimated that such a demon with enlightened intelligence will lose its temper and get off the horse!"
Everyone got off their horses, found a forest a little further away, tied their reins, and came to the lake.
The clear blue waves are rippling, and the depth of the lake is evident.
Yang Dongxiong measured the mouth of the lake and found that it was five feet wide and was a small mouth.
Let’s take a look at the water level of the river at the mouth of the lake. It has rained frequently recently, but it is always drizzle. The water level of the river has not risen much, and is far lower than the height of the river bank. If it is another month, it will probably be the same. Now it is just right.
After thinking about it, Yang Dongxiong made a decision in his mind.
"Yu Dun, Lu Gang, Zishuai, you three go and prepare to block the entrance of the lake."
"Yes!"*3
The three people asked and separated. Lu Gang and Yu Dun lined up on both sides of the lake entrance.
Xu Zishuai jumped to the other side of the river and surrounded the entire lake mouth in a triangle shape.
"The rest of you, please hide along the river and protect yourself. If you see a fish slipping through the net, take action to stop it!"
"yes!"
Liang Qu shouldered his spear and found a patch of withered yellow reeds in the upper reaches of the river.
In mid-March, when the reeds have not yet grown, they are all yellow grass left over from the winter, making a crunching sound when stepped on.
Squatting in the grass, Liang Qu concentrated his attention.
They can't be of much help in dealing with monsters, but watching a strong tiger hunter take action at close range is very beneficial and can greatly expand one's knowledge.
There are many things that cannot be experienced personally just by relying on book descriptions.
Liang Qu gathered his energy and concentrated his mind, and saw Yang Dongxiong walking to the lake and standing still, with all his energy and blood restrained to the extreme.
If they didn't know clearly that Yang Dongxiong was the Great Tiger Hunting Martial Master, ordinary people might really think of him as a tough little old man.
“I haven’t used my full strength for a long time.”
Yang Dongxiong placed his hand on the handle of the knife, pinched it together with his fingers, and took a deep breath.
boom!
The rolling grass swayed violently, and finally couldn't hold on anymore. It was torn at the waist and flew into the air.
call!
The broken grass that flew into the air was pressed to the ground again, the billowing dust spread, and all the plants were neatly pressed down, and the entire ground seemed to have sunk several inches out of thin air.
Yang Dongxiong exhaled a long breath, dropped his shoulders and elbows, took a step forward, and cleared away all distracting thoughts.
The sound of the muscles and bones rubbing and twisting is like the sound of muffled thunder, and the blood is rushing and boiling like the shape of turbulent waves.
Even though they were hundreds of meters away, a substantial sense of oppression still hit us!
The long sword was unsheathed, and the cold light induced vomiting.
Clang!
The jet-black solid sword light slowly flew out from the blade, seemingly fast and slow, and an indescribable throbbing suddenly rose in Liang Qu's heart.
Birds were flying for miles around, the gophers burrowing in panic abandoned their stored food, and just two miles away, horses tied to tree trunks were neighing in fear.
In the simple "palace", the sleeping sturgeon king was awakened by the terrifying momentum. He swung his body and tail and tried to escape, but it was already too late.
The sword screamed and exploded, and it came in an instant, and the roaring wind blew through the air and the lake surface, breaking everything and cutting everything, almost cutting the entire lake in half.
Liang Qu clearly saw a building that looked like a pile of rocks, but could still be seen as a "palace" appearing in the center of the lake. In the blink of an eye, the "roof" was chopped into pieces by the flying sword light and struck straight into it.
The stone palace collapsed, and a powerful momentum rose from the lake. It turned out to be a huge sturgeon with a body length of more than 60 meters!
The sturgeon's side had a gaping hole several meters wide, and it was bleeding gurglingly.
"There really is a demon!"
Liang Qu's eyes were bright, and his guess was indeed correct.
If there are spirits guarding the door and still living in harmony, there must be a big guy suppressing them!
Sixty meters, twice as long as the blue whale, the largest creature in previous lives!
There are even five rows of bone plates bulging out from the body, like armor, and the whole body is as solid as gel, making it difficult for ordinary people to breathe just looking at it.
If the fishermen in Yixing City saw it, they might shout Dragon King and hold a river god ceremony.
Such a sturgeon monster must have big muscles on its body.
Sturgeon dragon tendons, if eaten by young children, can improve their talents; if eaten by warriors, can increase their strength; if eaten by the elderly, can warm up their marrow, strengthen their vitality, and increase their lifespan!
Such a treasure, how can it not attract people?
Moreover, the size of the entire lake is only more than half a mile, which is very small compared to the control range of ordinary monsters, and it is completely a snail's dwelling.
For no other reason, would a tiger hunter live in a cave?
There must be a bigger secret!
Being attacked and slashed in his sleep, the sturgeon king was furious. As his long tail swung, shock waves spread, and the earth was about to crack. The lake water rolled in like a tsunami.
It can be seen that the newcomer was actually on the shore, so he immediately changed his strategy and turned over to escape into the water.
"What a smart beast!"
Yang Dongxiong laughed, and the trees on the shore were all broken.
Xu was getting older, and it was just when he needed this sturgeon tendon to nourish him. If he wanted to escape, had he asked about the knife in his hand?
Yang Dongxiong turned his wrist and swung the knife, and his strong blood rushed up to the sky. In the blink of an eye, he slashed several more times, and the blades intertwined and converged together, like a fishing net covering the air.
Countless sharp edges pressed down, and the entire lake surface dropped suddenly, and endless lake water poured back into the river, roaring like a tide.
The knife wind cut the face, and Liangqu's eardrums were about to be torn.
The water level of the entire lake surface dropped by dozens of meters, and the center was close to a hundred meters, completely exposing the entire stone palace to the air.
Without water to block, the blade was even sharper, and the proud carapace of the sturgeon king could not resist at all, and several bone-piercing scars appeared all over the body.
The blood mixed with the lake water, the pain was unbearable, and the four kissing whiskers were like sharp whips, whipping the air and making bursts of screams.
A large amount of lake water flowed into the river along the lake mouth, turning into two waves of water hammers rushing towards both sides of the river.
Yu Dun, Lu Gang, and Xu Zishuai knew the time had come, so they all worked together and used all their strength to collapse the lake mouth.
Mud and rocks flowed back on both sides, like a dragon turning over, forming a barrier.
Then, with the continuous reinforcement of the three people, a simple dam higher than the river surface was quickly built.
The water flowing into the river could not be refilled, and the water level dropped to less than half of the original.
A large number of small fish were strangled into meat, turned into blood and merged with the lake water.
Liang Qu also saw several monsters with their white bellies turned up, jumping on the "square" in front of the palace.
Even his feet were soaked by the lake water, and many water flows did not have time to penetrate into the ground and flowed back into the lake.
The edge of the entire lake pit was gushing with white water like a curtain, and Liang Qu seemed to be standing at a waterfall view point in a trance.
Is this also the power of changing the terrain?
The sturgeon king looked at the almost emptied water around him, and his whole body shape suddenly changed, and he actually grew limbs!
The lake mouth is blocked, it wants to escape to the land!
Transformed into a human!
Liang Qu did not expect the sturgeon king to be able to do this.
When the spirits and monsters reach the level of demons, it is possible to transform into human form, but only great demons can transform freely, and there are few examples of ordinary demons being able to do this.
This transformation into a human is not like turning into a handsome man or a beautiful woman in the storybooks, which is meaningless. Who would want to transform into another species?
For love?
Demons look at people just like people look at cats and dogs. They may find them cute, but they will never want to transform into the same kind of creatures to have fun with them.
There are very few exceptions to this.
The reason is for strength.
wωω• ttk an•O
When great demons transform into humans, they grow limbs and have the convenience of hands and feet, but they do not look like humans at all.
Demons are not born with intelligence, but they naturally gain intelligence after transcending the mundane world, which means they are destined to have no sociality.
It is extremely difficult to develop high intelligence without social attributes, just like the so-called "wolf boy" in the previous life.
Raised by wolves since childhood, not raised in society, with the same genes as ordinary people, the intelligence level shown is no different from that of wild beasts.
It is said that there is a demon court at the bottom of the Jianghuai River, where the big demons exchange what they have and have a rudimentary society.
In addition, most demons cannot accumulate the experience of their predecessors, let alone create a martial arts system, and fight with only their flesh.
Some intelligent demon beasts will choose to change their limbs, learn human martial arts, and use weapons to increase their strength, while also trying to get rid of the shackles of water and have an extra way to survive.
Unfortunately, the sturgeon king in front of him is too far behind.
Even Liang Qu can see that it has no experience of fighting outside the water at all. Changing its limbs will only make it look out of place and even more stupid.
Yang Dongxiong jumped into the lake, and the blade was unstoppable.
In the Jianghuai Zeye, the sturgeon king relied on its advantage in the water, and it was still unknown who would win or lose, but here, the outcome was doomed.
This is a hunt, not a duel.
The eagle-eating snake that Tathagata saw on the way.
Blood splattered everywhere, and the huge limbs were broken at the root.
The sturgeon king couldn't hold on any longer!
Come on, heat up the oil in the pan!
