Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 44 Water Eye Spiritual Point
The plan was good and he had made all the necessary preparations, but the reality gave Liu Qing a hard slap in the face.

Half a day passed, and Liu Qing swung his tail whip hundreds of times, but he only managed to expand the mud hole to two feet deep and ten feet long.

This project needs to be expanded to the starting point of Xiaolugou in the old forest, which is about twenty miles away. This is such a huge project that Liu Qing would probably be exhausted to death before he can complete it.

It seems that even a creature that has transformed into a demon is almost helpless in the face of this obstacle of conflicting attributes.

Widening the mud hole would not be difficult if the crabs and river shrimps among the river monsters who are good at digging holes were asked to do it, but asking a snake or python like Liu Qing to widen it would be asking too much.

Poor snakes and pythons, they are much more ferocious than shrimps and crabs, but when it comes to digging holes, they are far inferior to them.

Originally, Liu Qing could also ask Xia Kexing for help, and Xia Kexing would probably not refuse.

But you have just been stationed at Shetan and are under someone's command. It is time for you to show your abilities. If you always trouble your leader when you encounter difficulties, what use will they have for you as a subordinate?

In addition, if Xiaolugou is finally dug through by Xia Kexing, who will own Xiaolugou in the end?
As a male, he has the most instinctive desire for territory and to expand his territory.

Liu Qing has not yet completely refined the water warning order, and deliberately left a little bit behind in order to include Xiaolugou in the water vein map of the garrison area, creating a basis for the established facts. If other monsters come to snatch it in the future, they will have evidence.

But now, the difficulties that lie ahead have made Liu Qing feel troubled.

At this moment, the intelligence treasure box that had not responded for a long time suddenly emitted a golden light.

A dazzling golden light suddenly shot out from a white halo.

Liu Qing's eyes suddenly lit up.

This is the second time that gold-level intelligence has appeared. The first time was when Hong Gu revealed the existence of the Snake Pond Water Eye during the third level.
But this time, I don’t know what a surprise it is.

Liu Qing excitedly opened the intelligence box.

[Today's Intelligence: Gold Level. In the small reed ditch northeast of Snake Pond, beneath the largest cluster of reeds, there is a Water Eye Spiritual Cave.]

Liu Qing was completely surprised.

I was worrying about how to connect Xiaolugou and Shetan to form a water vein, but unexpectedly, the intelligence box gave me the answer.

The Water Eye Spirit Cave, with the word "Water Eye" in its name, must be like the water eye in the snake pond under the crooked mulberry tree, which can continuously gush out water, keeping the water veins endless.

With a steady supply of water, the water level in Xiaolugou can rise and flow back into Shetan, thus connecting the two. There is naturally no need to rush to widen the mud hole.

After the surprise, Liu Qing had doubts again. According to the intelligence, the water eye spirit cave was not like the original snake pond water eye. It was newly formed.
But it has existed for a long time. Then, if Xiaolugou has had a water hole for a long time, why does it always have a dry season and the water level is always low?
With doubts in his heart, Liu Qing meandered out of the Snake Pond and headed towards Xiaolugou along the mud hole.

Anyway, let’s go and take a look first.

Xiaolugou is right in front of you.

Looking around, Xiaolugou is like a narrow crack in the ground, with tall trees and low shrubs on both sides.
It was early spring now, the ice and snow had long since melted, and the dead leaves that fell last autumn and winter formed a thick layer on the water surface.

Countless reeds of all sizes pushed aside the fallen leaves on the river surface, and the gray-yellow reed stalks stood tall in the water, from the shore to the water, from near to far, almost covering the entire Xiaolugou.

In the mud at the bottom of the river, the settled fallen leaves were rotting, emitting rotten bubbles from time to time, which emerged in strings on the surface of the river.

The river water was a little black and turbid, and it emitted an unpleasant smell of decay.

It’s no wonder that there are no river monsters occupying such a small Lugou.

Even if we successfully occupy Xiaolugou in the future, we will still have to spend some effort to manage it well.

It is another huge project, but fortunately, the water token has the effect of purifying water quality.

Liu Qing cruised along the shore of Xiaolugou, carefully examining the reeds in the river, searching for the largest clump of reeds suggested by the intelligence. Halfway through, about 20 or 30 miles, Liu Qing's eyes suddenly moved, and he saw in the middle of the river ahead,

There was a cluster of reeds, which, though withered and yellow, were as thick as arms and two or three feet high, almost as tall as the small trees on the shore.

Liu Qing did not go down immediately, but continued to observe along the river to the northeast until he had inspected the entire Xiaolugou.
To be sure, the cluster of reeds just now was indeed the largest one in Xiaolugou.

Coming back, Liu Qing took a deep breath, closed his mouth, and dived into the stinking river water.

The river here is only about one meter deep, and I sank to the bottom of the river in an instant.

The riverbed was covered with black mud and rotten leaves, and the foul smell filled the nose.

For the sake of the Water Eye Spirit Point, Liu Qing had to endure it.

After patrolling around the reed roots and seeing no trace of any water eye or spiritual cave, Liu Qing had no choice but to swing his snake tail, sweep away the mud and start searching.

Suddenly, the smell became even worse, irritating Liu Qing so much that tears streamed down her face.

The snake's tail swung, pulling away the mud, and then the snake's body twisted left and right, turning the pulled mud aside.
Just like that, Liu Qing slowly sank to the bottom of the mud.

After half an hour, Liu Qing endured the stench and overturned nearly a meter of mud before he felt that the riverbed beneath him had become hard and was no longer the sticky and soft mud.

Liu Qing was shocked.

The snake swung its body quickly left and right, sweeping away the mud. Through the turbid black river water, it could vaguely see the hard place under its body, which seemed to be a large stone slab.

I think the water eye cave mentioned in the intelligence is right under this big stone slab.

No wonder Xiaolugou remained dry for half a year despite the existence of the water eye. It turned out that the water eye was pressed down by a large stone slab.

Liu Qing is very experienced in this regard.

He swung his snake tail high and whipped it down hard.

thump—

The tail whip of the minor success level, coupled with Liu Qing's transformation into a horned boa constrictor with astonishing brute force, with a tail whip weighing nearly four or five hundred pounds, was unable to break the stone slab.

What a hard slate.

Liu Qing was only slightly surprised, then he swung the tail whip again and smashed it down on the stone slab again.

thump—

Roar--

The stone slab did not break, there was only a dull thud, but after this dull sound, a violent roar was heard.

After the roar, the stone slab suddenly shook violently, and then the ground at the bottom of the river turned over, and the muddy river water raised huge turbid waves.
A huge blue crab stood up.

The shell of this blue crab is as big as a millstone. It has a pair of exaggerated claws with the front end as thick as a bowl, and the other eight walking legs are as thick as arms.

The whole body is dark blue in color, with two or three-inch long hard hairs growing on the carapace and foot joints, while other parts are covered with thick moss.

Liu Qing was frightened by the huge size of the blue crab and quickly dodged to the side.

The blue crab raised its claws and turned its body sideways several times. Its black eyes protruded from its eye sockets and turned around. When it saw Liu Qing, it instantly became ferocious.
