Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 15 Low-grade treasure
The carp used its submandibular flesh to gently circle Liu Qing's body, grunted softly, and leaned its head over.
Like a delicate girl who was bullied by a gangster and now has someone to rely on.

Liu Qing flicked his snake body and crawled out from the carp's whiskers. He turned his head and called out, as if staring in reproach.

My brother is fighting for you, but you are becoming sentimental. This girl's thinking logic is so twisted and unreasonable.

The growth of the tail whip talent is only at the entry level, and the water has blocked it and reduced its power. The giant fish and crabs that just surrounded it were only whipped away, and their bodies were indeed unharmed.

After a brief panic, they surrounded us from all directions again.

Especially the grass turtle, which ignored Liu Qing's raised snake tail, endured two whips, forced its way in, stretched its head quickly, and bit the bleeding wound of the carp.

Other giant fish and crabs also rushed over.

Liu Qing's fierce and shrill voices, the tail whip almost left an afterimage, twisting the mouths of those who bit him.

The next moment, his body rolled up the carp and floated straight to the surface of the water.

The carp finally stopped being sentimental. With Liu Qing's help, the desire to survive resurfaced in its heart. It tried its best and spurted out two more water arrows in succession.

The catfish and rat snake following closely behind were shot through the body.

The carp showed its power and killed two of them in an instant, shocking the other giants. Liu Qing took the opportunity to float to the surface with the carp and swam towards its old nest, the big bluestone.

The large bluestone is located in the shallows, and the carp, which is no more than two feet long, can temporarily take shelter in the shallow water.
However, those catfish and snakehead fish that are two or three feet long cannot be approached, otherwise they will be stranded.

This choice would reduce the number of enemies by half. In addition, there was an angle between the large bluestone and the shore, where the carp was hiding. Liu Qing was the only one guarding the pass, so he only had to face the enemy head-on and no longer had to worry about enemies jumping out from other directions.

When they reached the big bluestone, the grass turtle was already very close. Liu Qing flicked the snake's tail and pulled it lightly, sending the carp into the shallow water area at the corner of the bluestone.

Then it quickly climbed onto Qingshi's back, lowering its tail to gather strength.

The next second, the snake's tail was raised high, and with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, it hit the grass turtle's back hard.

With a slight click, a crack appeared on the hard shell of the grass turtle.

The grass turtle has no vocal cords and cannot scream, but its quickly retracted head and trembling body reveal its pain.

The crazy red color in its pea-sized eyes quickly faded, and a look of fear appeared.

Just now in the water, the water snake's tail didn't have the same strength as it does now, but now it easily broke his shell.
It's really scary. Could it be that this water snake is also a monster?
The grass tortoise has lived for several decades. Although it has not yet become a monster, its intelligence has increased a lot with age.

It shrank its head, moved its limbs, and slowly retreated.

The green-shelled crab, as big as a bowl, waved its two large claws and ran straight over the grass turtle.

The willow green snake's tail suddenly loosened and was sent into the green shell crab's big claws. The green shell crab pinched it habitually.
Then he felt dizzy and was caught by the snake's tail and thrown onto Qingshi's back.

With its thick armor, the crab's claws, which could crush rocks, could only leave a white mark.

The green-shelled crab was turned over and struggled with its legs in panic, trying to turn over and crawl away, but suddenly saw a black shadow falling down swiftly.
The next moment, the thin plastron was smashed open and the crab roe flowed all over the floor.

Liu Qing took a few bites and found it delicious. It helped him replenish his energy and he fed the remaining half to the carp.

Later, a catfish and a black fish came over smelling the scent. Their eyes were red, and their limited intelligence was swallowed up by madness.
He wanted to bite the carp and use the carp's flesh and blood to transform himself, but he tragically fell into the algae and was stranded under the bluestone.

Liu Qing whipped out his whip twice and smashed the two guys' heads. It just so happened that he hadn't eaten enough just now, so he borrowed their flesh and had a full meal.

Liu Qing used the remaining carcasses of catfish and black carp as chevaux de frise to block newcomers. Now, the carp finally had a temporary haven.

After being temporarily safe, Liu Qing tore off a few strips of catfish meat and fed them to the carp. After the carp was full, its health improved and the wound that had been bleeding constantly finally stopped bleeding.

Without the temptation of the monster's blood, the giant in the pond would no longer attack. In this way, the carp was finally safe and its life was barely saved.

Liu Qing finally calmed down, spitting out the snake core and recovering his strength.

Under Liu Qing's protection, the carp fell asleep slowly with emotion, but Liu Qing did not dare to fall asleep. He still stayed in front of the carp, always vigilant.

There are no threats in the water, but there are threats on the shore and in the air. In the wilderness, except for edible things, everything else is an enemy.

Fortunately, Liu Qing and the carp were lucky.

A night passed, the sky brightened, and there were no natural enemies attacking from the shore or in the air. Even more fortunately, it was cloudy today, with no sun.
Without the scorching heat of direct sunlight, carp hiding in shallow waters where the water depth is just up to their belly will not have their scales dried out by the sun, leading to dehydration.

Fortunately, the struggling monsters have a chance to survive.

Time passed and the carp woke up. His complexion had recovered a lot. The torn wound had stopped bleeding and was faintly dark red, perhaps starting to form a scab.

The chance of survival increased greatly. Carp looked at Liu Qing who had been protecting him, and a soft look appeared in his eyes.

[Today's Intelligence: Level Red. Under the dead old locust tree on the shore, there's a nest of ants in the root hole. Within this ant nest, nourished by the energy of the earth veins, a low-grade earth treasure, Black Spirit Ginseng, was born, rich in the source of heaven and earth qi.]

Liu Qing was stunned.

Seeing the red intelligence again, it also hinted at the news of the low-grade earth treasure black ginseng, which was a great joy.

From being of low quality to being of low quality now, from being a river treasure, a heavenly spirit, to being a ground treasure now, it is worthy of being called red intelligence, and it really broadened my horizons.

Liu Qing stroked the carp a few times and then crawled towards the old locust tree on the shore.

The carp let out a quick cry, and a look of anxiety suddenly appeared in its eyes. It was afraid that Liu Qing would abandon this burden.

Fortunately, after a while, the familiar sound came again.

The carp's eyes were filled with surprise, and it kept making gurgling sounds as if in response. Liu Qing crawled in front of the carp, opened his mouth, and held a black, oval object the size of a quail egg in his mouth.

The carp, which had been fed several times, opened its mouth habitually and swallowed the black ball.

I thought to myself, even if the snake was holding poison, I would be willing to swallow it.

But this is not poison, but the low-grade earth treasure black ginseng. This black ginseng is nourished by the energy of the earth veins and contains rich source energy of heaven and earth. Once it enters the mouth, it turns into waves of coolness and acts near the wound.

It was visible to the naked eye that the muscles at the wound were wriggling rapidly, and countless dense granulations were growing madly, and then adhesions were formed to heal.

In the blink of an eye, the horrific wound on the carp's back disappeared.
