Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 21 Help each other
Liu Qing walked through the bushes, climbed up the slope, and looked south. All he saw was continuous short trees and bushes, without even a small puddle.

Liu Qing turned and faced east. To the west of Ziwu Valley was the towering Qinling Mountains, while the terrain to the east was relatively low, where there should be streams and puddles.

Unfortunately, when Liu Qing went through untold hardships, dodging rats, weasels and foxes, and climbed up a tall pine tree at the easternmost end of Ziwu Valley,

I looked as hard as I could but couldn't see a stream.

To the north of Ziwu Valley, the Qinling Mountains circle from west to north, forming cliffs, making the existence of streams even more impossible.

Over the cliff?

Not to mention whether Liu Qing could climb over the cliff that was hundreds of feet high, just the many falcons living on the cliff were enough to make Liu Qing hesitate.

Liu Qing returned to the pond dejectedly.

Hong Gu didn't seem to have any premonition of danger this time. She swam happily to Liu Qing's side and said, "Xiao Qing, where have you been all day? Is it fun on the shore?"

Liu Qing spat out the snake core, filled with fear but unable to express it, and could only make two weak hissing sounds.

In the evening, the moon rose again, but it was no longer round.

However, the moonlight showered by Lady Wangshu still blesses every living being that desires to be powerful.

The carp that had swallowed the flesh and blood of the goshawk during the day and were just beginning to gain intelligence also imitated Liu Qing and Hong Gu, opening and closing their mouths to swallow and spit out.

Unfortunately, Hong Gu did not show any more kindness and teach them the secrets of breathing.

The fact that they were given an opportunity was because they were of the same clan. If Hong Gu was to be kind again, she would have to rely on them to climb trees and pick mulberries like Liu Qing.

After a night of breathing exercises, Liu Qing gained 3 points of Heaven and Earth Source Qi.

The moonlight has faded.

The Taibai star rose, and a ray of sunlight pierced the darkness. Liu Qing did not sleep in his arms with Hong Gu as usual.

Instead, it spit out its snake core, venting its inner anxiety. The snake wrapped its body around Hong Gu and tried to pull her towards the water celery bush.

It's just psychological comfort. When the earth dragon turns over, there is no safe place.

Time did not stop because of Liu Qing's panic.

The tomato-like sun slowly climbed over the treetops and headed towards the sky.

The morning breeze had long since died down, the branches and leaves of the mulberry trees no longer moved, the reeds and cattails stood still and silent, and the lotus leaves drooped limply in resignation.

Ants crawled out of their nests and ran around aimlessly in panic. Earthworms crawled out of the wet mud, and even though they were half-cooked by the scorching ground, they stubbornly refused to go back into the ground.

In the cave under the reed roots, water rats jumped out frantically and ran away. The crabs and river shrimps that had been living in peace with each other now seemed to have lost their minds, waving their claws and tearing each other apart.

The next moment, everything in the world suddenly came to a standstill.

boom--

A dull sound came from underground, and then the water in the pool rolled over, creating a huge splash, and silt and river sand splashed several feet into the sky.

Huge ripples formed waves, spreading from the small pond, causing the earth on the shore to rise and fall violently.

The roots of the old locust tree were ejected, and the mulberry tree fell to one side. With a rumbling sound, a hole was blown open in the northern cliff, and countless rocks of various sizes fell from the top of the cliff.

The goshawks and falcons living on the cliffs screamed shrilly, flapped their wings and flew into the sky, leaving the baby birds and eggs in the nest to fall to the ground with the rocks.

In the western forest, countless pheasants, foxes, hares, as well as musk deer, wild boars, sika deer, tigers, leopards, bears and wolves, ran side by side, having long forgotten their natural enemy relationship and were only trying to get away from Ziwu Valley in a hurry.

Liu Qing clung to Hong Gu tightly.

The water in the pond was rolling in my sight, and the fish and shrimps in the water floated to the surface in panic, moving their heads in a dense crowd.

suddenly,

A loud bang was heard again from the ground at the bottom of the pond.

The pond suddenly extended to the north and south, the water surface was instantly stretched, and then, with a splash, the water in the pond instantly fell and disappeared.

A bottomless crack appeared at the bottom of the pond, swallowing up the water and then quickly closing.

The dull sound slowly dissipated. Looking around, countless tall trees throughout Ziwu Valley and the surrounding Qinling Mountains were broken, bent, and scattered across the ground.

Dazzling blood spots bloomed under the fallen tree. They were the birds and beasts that were unable to dodge.

The cliff to the north of the pond has a crack from top to bottom, like an open mouth, with the corners of the mouth extending to the wetland below the cliff and all the way to the pond.

Small hills formed on the east, south and west sides of the pond, trapping the pond, which sank several feet and became deep.

The mud was still there, but the lotus roots in the mud had been turned out. Pieces of lotus roots lay across the black mud, looking miserable white.

Many fish that were lucky enough not to be swallowed by the cracks in the ground opened and closed their gills rapidly, sucking in the oxygen in the air.

Unfortunately, without water filtration, the fish gills are just decorations and cannot absorb any oxygen.

The sunlight penetrated the dust and mist, scorching the fish, making the already oxygen-deficient fish even worse off.

They swung their tails in vain, stared at the sky with wide eyes in horror, feeling the horror of death.

Hong Gu was so frightened that she became speechless.

Liu Qing suddenly flicked his snake body, let go of Hong Gu, and quickly crawled along the mud to the lowest point at the bottom of the pool. He whipped the mud hard and made a pit.

There was a high pile of silt around the pit. Under inertia, the little water in the silt slowly seeped into the pit, forming a small puddle.

Liu Qing dragged Hong Gu and struggled to climb into the puddle, then put Hong Gu in it.

The dirty pond water barely covered Hong Gu's fish belly.

The red snapper's gills opened and closed, and the oxygen in the water entered its body, the stuffiness in its heart eased, and its mind gradually became clear.

"Xiaoqing, this, this is the third level, right? I'm afraid Hong Gu won't be able to get through this time."

Liu Qing looked back with a determined look in his eyes.

He just gave Hong Gu a firm look, and then he didn't dare to delay. He swam in the mud again, either swinging it with his tail or picking it up with his mouth, collecting the mud bit by bit, piling it on the mud dam of the puddle, letting the pool water seep out and flow down.

Slowly, the water in the pond covered Hong Gu's belly and reached her waist.

But for some reason, the sunlight became even hotter, emitting waves of heat that evaporated the mud and puddles.

Liu Qing didn't dare to rest, and fought against the sun for water every second.

The sun seemed to be irritated. Indignant at the ants' provocation, it emitted even greater heat, scorching the earth fiercely.

The small fish at the bottom of the pond were the first to die from lack of oxygen, followed by grass carp, silver carp, and bighead carp, and finally, shrimps and crabs.

The sun continued to scorch the pond, and in just an hour or two, the mud at the bottom of the pond was dried up and cracks appeared.

Catfish, snakehead fish, eels and loaches that burrowed into the mud were also roasted to death.

In the puddle, the water that originally submerged Hong Gu's waist quickly evaporated until only a shallow layer remained.

After another half an hour, the shallow layer of sewage was completely evaporated.

The sun proudly retreated into darkness, and the moon, unable to bear the devastation, sprinkled a little moonlight.

Liu Qing had a bitter smile in his eyes. The entire pond was clear of any water. He crawled back to the puddle powerlessly and looked at Hong Gu, whose expression was filled with misery.

He put his head into Hong Gu's mouth and spat out a mouthful of dirty water that he had been holding for a long time.
