Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 12: Natural Thick Armor
Just now, when the carp monster was swimming happily around Liu Qing, Liu Qing secretly glanced at its belly.

It's a female.

The other person is bigger than me and has more experience than me, so naturally I should call her sister.

Just because someone makes a cooing sound, you call them auntie. That would be impolite. No girl likes to be called old.

Liu Qing was floating on the water in front, and the carp monster was following behind.

When Liu Qing got ashore and climbed up the mulberry tree, the carp spirit raised its head and gurgled with joy.

His eyes were full of excitement and anticipation.

Liu Qing bit off a mulberry, spit it out, and then quickly twitched the snake's tail sideways, like playing bowling.
Pull this purple-red mulberry fruit into the pond.

The carp monster leaped out of the water, caught the mulberry accurately, and swallowed it into its stomach with a gulp.

The carp monster joyfully slapped the water surface with its tail fin, just like a greedy little girl who picked up a fruit thrown by her friend from the tree and clapped her hands with joy.

A sense of pride arose in Liu Qing's heart.

Like a capable child, he chirped proudly, then turned around and picked a dark purple mulberry fruit as thick as a thumb.
Following the same method, the power of the tail whip was controlled to just the right degree, which ensured that the fruit would be knocked into the pond without being rotten.

The carp monster leaped again, and its red body jumped out of the water, sparkling in the sunlight.

cuckoo-

The carp monster swallowed another mulberry fruit, let out a satisfied cry, and even flapped its pectoral fins happily.

Liu Qing felt a great sense of accomplishment.

So he raised his little head and quickly climbed to the top of the tree. The mulberries here were bigger and sweeter.

suddenly,

A green figure swooped over quickly, stretched out its long beak, and pecked at Liu Qing fiercely.

Liu Qing suddenly saw that there was a tree hole beside him with several bird eggs in the hole, and the emerald green figure was a kingfisher incubating the eggs.

The kingfisher's beak is more than two inches long and as slender as a thorn. It can peck holes in even hard tree trunks, let alone Liu Qing's body.

Liu Qing was startled and quickly raised his snake tail, activated his tail whip talent, and attacked the kingfisher.

The kingfisher paused for a moment, hovered in the air for a short time, then flew sideways to dodge, and then pounced again angrily.

Liu Qing wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't. "What a misunderstanding! I'm not here to steal eggs. I'm here to pick mulberries."

When birds were hatching eggs, the notorious egg-stealing water snake family was born with a motive for committing crimes, even though Liu Qing had no intention of committing a crime at this time.

But how could his appearance here not make the kingfisher furious?

Faced with the frenzied kingfisher, Liu Qing fled in panic. Fortunately, he had the tail whip talent, so he escaped safely without being pecked a hole in the body by the kingfisher.
But I was terrified.

The kingfisher may seem violent, but it is only driving away. If it attacks crazily, it will surely be pecked into a hornet's nest.
Even if he had the talent for tail whip, the most he could do was to fight the kingfisher and both of them would be injured.

Liu Qing once again felt his own weakness. Facing the carp spirit that swam over to comfort him, he could not help but droop his head and look listless.

[Today's Intelligence: Level White. When swallowing and exhaling Moonlight, try swallowing it through your mouth, allowing it to circulate through your body, and finally expelling it through the Snake Leak. This will double your efficiency.]

After parting with the carp monster, Liu Qing waited for a while before returning to the nest. Just as he coiled up into a snake mountain to rest for a while, today's information arrived.

Looking at the content of the intelligence prompt, Liu Qing's eyes flashed with thought.

Last night I watched and learned the breathing method of the carp monster. They swallowed the moonlight through their mouths, and the moonlight entered their bodies, circled around them, and then spit it out through their mouths.

However, intelligence suggests that the moonlight enters the body, circulates once, and then exits through the snake hole. The snake hole is the anus of snakes. Could it be that Liu Qing is wrong to learn the breathing method of the carp monster?
No, it's not wrong, maybe it's not perfect enough.

Thinking about the red intelligence content from the day before yesterday, which said that the carp monster figured out the breathing method by accident, I think it was a wild way it figured out by itself.

Today, at one o'clock in the evening, the faint crescent moon finally appeared.

Seeing the old eel looking at the moon and the carp floating to the surface, Liu Qing emerged from the algae. At the same time, the carp monster was looking around for Liu Qing.

When he saw Liu Qing coming out, he hurriedly shook his head and tail, asking Liu Qing to come over. Liu Qing made a cheerful snake sound and swam closer.

The carp monster then opened its mouth, and a suction force appeared out of thin air, attracting a stream of moonlight from afar, which also split into two streams, one large and one small.
It inhaled and exhaled one stream by itself, and let Liu Qing exhale the other stream.

Liu Qing thought of the intelligence he had obtained during the day, and after swallowing the moonlight that had circled his body once,

He did not open his mouth to spit it out, but instead used his mind to drive the foul air out along the snake hole.

Gollum—

A string of tiny bubbles emerged from the water. The carp monster turned its head and looked over, a mischievous look in its eyes.

Liu Qing was embarrassed, but he couldn't speak and couldn't explain.

In this way, for about an hour and a half, Liu Qing was constantly excreting the foul air.
The carp monster beside him looked at him sideways repeatedly, and when he finally left, he covered his mouth and nose with his pectoral fins to show how bad the smell was.

Liu Qing was extremely embarrassed.

He was determined to smear mud on his face to show his shame if the information was wrong.

After returning to the nest, Liu Qing had an idea and summoned the panel.

[Name: Liu Qing]

[Race: Water Snake]

[Bloodline Talent: 1 Swallow Elephant (Beginner); 2 Tail Whip (Beginner)]

[Heaven and Earth Source Qi: 3 points]

Overnight, the source energy of heaven and earth increased by 2 points.

Compared with last night, in almost the same amount of time, the efficiency of absorbing moonlight has doubled.

This cheat really didn't deceive me.

"Should I consume the source energy of heaven and earth to increase the growth of existing talents, or unlock new bloodline talents?"

The entry-level elephant-swallowing talent is enough to allow Liu Qing, a mere growing water snake, to swallow food several times its body weight in a day.

The entry-level tail whip talent seems to be not powerful enough in the water, and it is not enough to deter some agile birds outside.
Rationally speaking, Liu Qing should increase the growth of his tail whip talent, but people are always emotional, it's simply because they get tired of the old and love the new.

"Yes, unlock new bloodline talents."

In an instant, the source of energy of heaven and earth on the panel disappeared, and instead, waves of coolness spread to various parts of the body.

Compared with the previous two times, this time the cool Qi body seemed to contain infinite vitality. It acted on the scales on the body surface.

This causes the fine tissue under the scales to proliferate rapidly, and then transform into hard nails, which are attached to the original snake scales.

After about an hour, the cool Qi transformed from the source Qi of heaven and earth slowly faded away.

Liu Qing looked around him and saw that the snake scales covering his body had changed drastically.
