The favor bestowed by the water is no different from authority.

The more favors Liang Qu receives, the more he can accomplish in the marshes; naturally, the more the better.

Right now, it's only the first layer of Ying Long Mark, its figure is as fleeting as a ghost. What would it be like if it were the second or third layer?

Riding the wind, soaring through the sky?

Liang Qu longed for it, but unfortunately, it was also very difficult to obtain. It required absorbing the Dragon Seed Aura. It was already quite a coincidence that a Sturgeon King could grow half a Dragon Tendon by fortuitous opportunity, and it was hard to say when the next time would be.

Before he could think about it carefully, a burning sensation spread through Liang Qu's abdomen and then throughout his entire body.

The Dragon Tendon were difficult to digest, taking much longer than the Ze Cauldron, and only now were they truly showing their effectiveness.

Liang Qu returned to the Quiet Room and sat cross-legged, his hands naturally hanging down at his Dantian, rising and falling naturally, forming a great circulation of Qi and Blood in his body.

The Dragon Seed Aura spread along the blood vessels and meridians to the limbs and bones. At first, it was unobstructed wherever it went, but when it passed through narrow places, it was like a raging wave crashing against the shore. Although there was some resistance, it was still able to break through quickly.

A strong tingling sensation spread throughout the body, and more and more meridians participated in the circulation, making the flow of Qi and Blood in the body smoother.

This was something Liang Qu found unbelievable.

How could I actually improve my qualifications?

To change one's aptitude using the Sturgeon Fish Demon's large tendons, it is usually necessary to take the medicine before the age of twelve to achieve the desired effect, thus changing oneself during the most vigorous growth stage.

Liang Qu has long passed its most vigorous growth stage.

Did the upper limit increase because of half a Dragon Tendon?

The rapidly flowing blood even seeped through the body, turning the entire body crimson in an instant, creating a sound like the ebb and flow of the tide in the Quiet Room.

Click.

A metallic taste filled Liang Qu's mouth. In disbelief, he licked it with his tongue and licked off a hard object! "My tooth!"

Liang Qu suddenly opened his eyes, covered his cheek, and felt a sinking feeling in his heart. He had no idea why he had suddenly lost a tooth.

He's not a three-year-old child; once a tooth falls out, it won't grow back! The metallic taste in his mouth grew stronger and stronger, and Liang Qu dared not lick it with his tongue anymore, but his teeth kept falling out one after another.

Within a few breaths, all of Liang Qu's teeth fell out, and his lips shriveled up.

Oh no, how are we going to eat now?

The thought of eating the Sturgeon King meat had barely crossed Liang Qu's mind when a tingling sensation shot through his gums, causing his mouth to water uncontrollably.

One by one, white new teeth emerged from the gums, growing at an unimaginable speed, becoming more neat and orderly than before.

Teeth appearing out of thin air?

Liang Qu is beyond comprehension.

The number of teeth a person has is determined in the womb: one set of baby teeth and one set of permanent teeth. Is this a return to the original state of the fetus, a regeneration of the tooth germ? In any case, it's good that they can grow back.

Liang Qu calmed himself down. The effects of the Dragon Tendon were still going strong. Every pore on his body was breathing, and a gust of wind swept through the Quiet Room.

Gradually, the impurities that clog the meridians are metabolized, and along with oil, sweat and waste blood, they are squeezed out from many pores, becoming sticky and smelly.

In the Quiet Room, breathing is deep and slow.

Deep Water Area.

The Fat Catfish rolled back against the soft wall like a ball, then looked up to see two huge yellow lights shining through the mud and sand.

The Fat Catfish flipped over, its entire skin shivering. It felt as if the two lanterns were watching it!

But how can two lamps see people? Fat Catfish had seen oil lamps on Liang Qu's boat; they were very hot, flickered, and it hurt terribly to stick your whiskers inside, but they were dead.

It turned and fled, but before it could swim more than a few meters, another towering pillar crashed down, churning up the mud and sand at the bottom of the water and flipping the Fat Catfish over once again.

Several times in a row, the Fat Catfish that tried to escape was ruthlessly thrown back.

The two pillars struck in turn, and no matter how it swam, it would be swept back by the current.

The Fat Catfish could no longer swim and collapsed on the ground.

After being tricked so many times, it finally realized that what was falling wasn't a pillar at all, but a leg.

Damn it, we've run into Great Demon.

That's settled then.

I'm mentally exhausted.

The Fat Catfish looked up at the sky and, without realizing it, the dark blue-black soft wall had turned white.

The Great Demon sat up, scratched his butt, looked at the motionless Fat Catfish, and picked it up with two toes.

The Fat Catfish's skin tightened as it saw itself getting closer and closer to the two large lights.

It was about to be eaten! It covered its eyes tightly with its whiskers, awaiting its final fate, but after waiting for a long time, it didn't feel any pain.

Swallowed alive?

The Fat Catfish quietly moved aside a whisker and discovered that it had been lifted up and had not been eaten.

It looked down and saw the Great Demon reveal its full form.

A giant Toad!

It was bigger than any animal it had ever seen!

When held in the Toad's hand, it's just like a Little Water!

The Toad shook off the creature that had intruded into its territory, curious about where it came from and why it wasn't afraid of its imposing presence.

Any other Spirit Monster of equal strength would have died on the spot from extreme fear, yet this creature could run and jump.

The Fat Catfish felt as if its brains were about to be shaken out. After a while, a voice suddenly came to its mind.

"Where are you from?"

The Fat Catfish scratched its head with its whiskers in confusion.

Was a god talking to him? It doesn't seem like it.

Another tremendous force struck from its tail, shaking the Fat Catfish until it was dizzy. It finally realized that the one speaking was the Great Demon! The Fat Catfish weakly twitched its whiskers a few times.

Shallow Water Area?

The Toad was puzzled, wondering how the Fat Catfish had managed to cross so many Demon Beast territories to reach the Deep Water Core Area.

How did you get here?

The Fat Catfish then flicked its whiskers.

"An undercurrent?"

The Fat Catfish turned its head to one side and pointed.

The Toad crawled out of the cave, Fat Catfish saw that beneath the Toad was a huge bird skin, its fiery red feathers looking as if it were on fire, and the entire cave was radiating a considerable temperature.

No wonder it was so bright!

I feel like I've seen this big bird somewhere before.

The Fat Catfish fell into deep thought.

The Toad was enormous. After taking a few steps, it arrived at the dark current that the Fat Catfish had mentioned. It reached out its hand and felt its forelimbs being pulled, and then nothing more.

The undercurrents surged fiercely, but no matter how hard they tried, not a single Toad could be transmitted.

The undercurrent can transport Fat Catfish, but not this one.

No wonder I've never noticed it before; the undercurrents are too inconspicuous.

The Toad suddenly felt bored, having thought it might find something fun.

It carried the Fat Catfish back to its burrow and used its other webbed claw to paw at its nest.

The nest was filled with a lot of miscellaneous items: broken ship parts, various animal remains, metals with a strange luster, and bizarrely shaped, glowing seaweed clustered in different places.

After searching for a long time, the Toad found a huge blue-striped giant Giant Clam shell, opened it, and threw the Fat Catfish inside.

It had never seen this Spirit Monster before; its tail and fins were quite beautiful, like clouds. It kept it as a pet.

After releasing the Toad, it lay down and fell fast asleep, not even closing the seashells.

The Fat Catfish was secretly delighted. This stupid fellow was better off Cannot Move his intelligence. Just as it was about to sneak out, it bumped into a transparent barrier.

Fat Catfish: "?"

Xu Zi touched the transparent barrier, groping back and forth.

There are no gaps!

This seashell appears to be open, but it's actually covered by something unknown!

The Fat Catfish was circling inside the shell when it suddenly saw sunken ships all around it.

There are many shipwrecks near the Toad's nest, each one intact and neatly arranged around the nest, with no algae growing.

A vague plan formed in the Fat Catfish's mind.

As the Toad flipped over, it frantically shook its whiskers.

After a while, the Toad noticed the situation, turned over and sat up. "There are many beautiful boats outside, do you want to bring them over for me?"

The Fat Catfish nodded vigorously.

"You're not going to run away?"

The Fat Catfish shook its head vigorously, patting its belly with its fins as a sign of assurance, its white belly trembling like ripples on water.

The Toad was overjoyed. It released the Fat Catfish and immediately asked the Spirit Monster in front of it to help it find a boat.

As a result, the Fat Catfish swam a distance, then turned around and shook its head.

The Toad was furious.

The Fat Catfish quickly flicked its whiskers.

The Toad pondered.

"Want to exchange something?"
