Chapter 211: Unwarranted Malice
What difference does a little favor make?
Liang Qu jumped into the water with expectation, but he didn't expect to experience any benefits. As soon as he entered the water, an uncomfortable throbbing feeling came over him.
It was as if someone had pressed a fine needle against his forehead, which brought a strange sting.
What's going on?
How come after getting the favor, the entire Jianghuai River has hostile feelings towards him?
Liang Qu walked on the water to return to the boat, and the pricking feeling at his forehead disappeared.
He entered the water again, and it came back.
He was a little confused, and looked at the fat catfish and the beasts around him, asking them if they also felt the malice in the water and felt uncomfortable.
The beasts looked at each other and shook their heads.
Only the fat catfish raised his body and patted his waist with his fins, where he had just been kicked by the beast, leaving some claw marks, indicating that he was uncomfortable there.
Liang Qu resisted the urge to kick him again.
Communicating with Ze Ding in the sea of consciousness.
[Dingzhu: Liang Qu]
[Refine Ze Ling: Ze Zhi (green) (Fusion Degree: 28.5%)]
[Ze Ling Favor: First Level of Martial Arts Divine Master (Chuanzhu Emperor); Yinglong Pattern: One Layer; Tianwu: One Layer]
[Talented Skills: Water Leap, Water Breathing, Water Prison, Ride the Waves, Deterrence]
[Water Essence: 2,500 Points]
[River Favor: 1.0001]
You read that right.
The favor is a little over a point, a positive number, not a negative number.
Where did the malice come from?
Liang Qu frowned.
He had always speculated about the favor. It was more like a kind of authority than a favor.
Whenever the favor increased, his relationship with Jiang Huaihe became closer, just like Jiang Huaihe opened his arms to him, and he became more relaxed in controlling water and moving.
He had tested this repeatedly, and Liang Qu even suspected that the favor could improve his luck in the water.
It doesn't make sense that the increase in favorability would turn into malice towards him.
Unless the malice doesn't come from the Jianghuai River...
Who else could it be?
Liang Qu suddenly thought of the undercurrent that can freely shuttle between deep and shallow waters.
The demon court long ago seemed to have a certain control over the Jianghuai River.
At that time, the real dragon was still there, but now...
Is it that Jiaolong?
The more Liang Qu thought about it, the more possible it seemed.
The existence that could make him feel malicious in the dark was extraordinary, so naturally he had to use several high-powered targets.
At present, the strongest in the entire swamp is the Jiaolong. Perhaps it is the only one that can make people feel malicious as soon as they enter the water.
He was targeted by the Jiaolong? Why?
Liang Qu was puzzled.
The birth of contradictions must involve the issue of interests. When did he infringe on the interests of the Jiaolong?
Can it also gain favorability?
Or did his favorability affect something else?
He has been in the water all the time. Can the Jiaolong sense his position?
Liang Qu paced back and forth at the bow of the boat.
The entire swamp is almost his treasure house. With this treasure house, Liang Qu has almost never been short of resources for cultivation.
A general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of people. How can it be so easy to climb up from the bottom?
Others work hard to complete tasks, save money, buy elixirs, and fight with others for opportunities. Not to mention running horses, even the four levels of flesh, bones and blood have to go through countless life and death crises.
And he only needs to wait for a few beasts to deliver things to his door. With the blue sea of the swamp behind him and the master to teach him martial arts, he can complete the journey of others in more than ten years in one year.
The only time he could be called dangerous was when he fought with the crab monster.
The time with the whale gang couldn't be called that. That was an advantageous battle.
Liang Qu pondered and suddenly cast his eyes on the fat catfish. The fat catfish turned his head and looked behind him, and found that there was no fish behind him.
If it was really the dragon, would the toad know what was going on? After all, it was a top monster.
"A Fei, I have a very difficult task for you!"
...
The fat catfish looked left and right, and rushed into the undercurrent with a large iron anchor on its back.
After a while, the fat catfish fell to the ground fiercely. Before it raised its head to observe the surroundings, its head sank heavily.
A huge iron anchor hit its head.
The fat catfish stood up with the help of the reef, found the iron anchor on the ground, picked it up and threw it hard on the ground.
After falling twice in a row, it carried the iron anchor and rushed to the toad's nest. When it arrived, it found that the toad brother was not at home.
In the cave, the dark brown vines were waving their claws and teeth. The fat catfish did not dare to approach and could only hold the iron anchor and shrink at the door.
"Not here?"
Liang Qu's eyes flashed when he received the fat catfish's message.
"A Fei, wait for the toad to come back, and ask it where it went first."
The fat catfish waited for several hours.
The black shadow shot from a distance and landed heavily on the ground.
The raging tide surged in all directions, and the entire bottom of the water was like an eight-level gale. The fat catfish held the anchor tightly and plowed dozens of meters of land.
The toad finally noticed the fat catfish at his feet.
"Little brother?"
The water stopped flowing, and the fat catfish hurriedly picked up the anchor and gave it to the toad.
The strange shape of the anchor immediately aroused the toad's interest.
"What is this?"
The fat catfish bit the anchor and smashed it on the ground, dragging the big anchor and began to swim. The whole anchor sank into the sand and gravel, getting deeper and deeper, and dragged it for more than ten meters until it could not be pulled anymore, and then waved its fins.
"New anchor?"
The toad grabbed the palm-sized anchor with its claws and webbed feet, and the more it looked at it, the more beautiful its shape seemed.
It stuck the big anchor into the ground and dragged it for a while. The resistance really became greater and greater, and finally the whole big anchor sank into the soil.
The toad pulled hard and lifted up a whole piece of land.
This thing seems to be very suitable for use as a weapon?
It's just too small and the material is not good.
After a while of dancing, the toad imagined that he was carrying a big anchor as a weapon, and immediately straightened his chest.
Seeing that the big brother was entertaining himself over there, the fat catfish did not forget the mission he was carrying, and hurriedly asked the toad where he had been before.
"Me?"
The toad sighed, returned to the cave and lay on the feathers of the firebird, crossed his legs, and turned the big anchor in his hand.
"I don't know why the long worm went crazy today. He summoned a few big monsters and said he wanted to kill the thief. I don't know if the thief is a human or a monster, and I don't know where he is exactly. I only said that he is in the south and may be on the shore."
The toad curled his lips.
South?
The scope is too general.
The tone of the long worm is that he wants them to push all the way to the shore along the south and kill whoever they see.
Damn it.
If I really go ashore and cause public outrage, human martial artists will be difficult to deal with, and they will lose their lives if they are not careful.
"If the real dragon gives the order, I still have to think about it. As for the long worm, whoever wants to go can go.
If you occupy the Dragon Palace by yourself and expect other monsters to work for you, it is better to find a mirage worm to inhale some white smoke and have a good dream."
The fat catfish didn't understand, and just relayed the toad's words back.
On the other side, Liang Qu's eyes lit up.
It was indeed the dragon!
Fortunately, it could only vaguely sense the direction, so Liang Qu was temporarily safe.
But why can I feel such targeted malice, but others can't sense it. Isn't it unclear about the target?
"Is it because of the favor? Is it the Jianghuai River reminding me? The cicada is aware of the autumn wind before it moves?"
Liang Qu was confused.
The big monster under the big swamp is so closely connected, and the toad seems to have a relationship with the real dragon before. Could it be the four generals under the real dragon?
Liang Qu remembered what the old giant clam had said, that there were four palaces outside the Dragon Court, and four top monsters lived in them.
The battle between the toad and the firebird was shocking enough to change the celestial phenomena. Now it seems that the toad is even more powerful.
Underwater.
The iron anchor cut through the water and sank to the bottom of the river.
"Wait a minute, little brother."
The toad ran into his pile of debris and dug out a big shell, which was the one that imprisoned the fat catfish. He liked the iron anchor sent this time very much, and he couldn't let his little brother suffer.
What if he can't come back?
"Here is for you."
The toad grabbed a small fish emitting golden light from the shell and handed it to the fat catfish.
