Whale Gang
The wind in the river is so powerful that clothes are flying.
Liang Qu sat cross-legged in the boat, looking at the map over and over again, his brows twisted into figures.
Looking around, the vast river is occasionally interspersed with a few floating islands, with only a sun hanging above our heads.
Breaking Blood Barrier was about to break out, and Blood Exchange Pill and Blood Coagulation Pill that Master Yang gave him a few days ago, including Blood Invigoration Pill and Liang Qu that Bullhorn Pomfret used as fish horns for medicine, were all brought with him in advance to be prepared.
As a result, the most important thing was missed.
"Compass didn't bring it..."
It was my first time traveling far away, so I was careless.
These days, there is no navigation, the roads are not good, and the household registration restrictions mean that people's range of activities is extremely small. Anyone who can travel freely across several counties is a capable master.
If you can travel between several provinces, it will be even more amazing. Big chambers of commerce are clamoring for it, so you can eat and drink wherever you go.
"Stop!"
Fat Catfish and Cannot Move took off their strength, and the water marks behind the boat healed quickly.
"Get closer to the shore..."
On the bow of the ship, Liang Qu stretched out his hand to protect the Little Water depression. There was a leaf floating inside, with an iron needle attached to the veins. Under the influence of the magnetized iron needle, the leaf tip slowly pointed to the north.
Without Compass, it would be impossible for Liang Qu.
Go to the shore and find a small village. You can't buy high-end things like Compass, but men farm and women weave. It's more than enough to buy an iron needle. You can use it as a Compass by rubbing it on your hair with some magnets.
"It's off to one side, A Fei, please move to the left!"
Fat Catfish hit the water with three more points to the right, turned the bow of the boat slightly, and continued to gallop.
It is no different from Compass, except that it needs to stop moving every once in a while and re-confirm the position.
If you take the land route between Ping Yang County and Feng Bu County, you have to go around in a circle, but if you take the water route, it is a straight line, and the distance is reduced by nearly 30%.
Without Compass time positioning, the goal of arriving in a straight line would not be achieved. It would probably become a zigzag line with little fluctuation. It would only take half a day at night, but it would still be faster than traveling by land.
Why.
It's my first time traveling far away, and there's no one to take me with me, so there are too many things to pay attention to.
Liang Qu has another Mind's Eye.
The starry night shines brightly.
More than a dozen small boats spread out on the river, extending for more than two miles, almost to the edge of Deep Water Area.
When Ping Yang County was still Ping Yang Town, all large ships between the two places used this waterway. It was impossible for anyone traveling between the two places without being discovered.
Snap! He threw his big hand on his face, and the blood-sucking mosquito exploded into a pool of blood.
A few rough guys were sitting on a small boat, bored. None of them were Martial Artist. They could only feed mosquitoes on the river.
"Why are there so many damn mosquitoes? Is anyone here?"
"There's not even a single fish, so where are the people from?"
"It's been a few days and you haven't come yet?"
"It's only been a few days. According to the speed, the news probably passed yesterday or the day before yesterday. It must have been another day or two."
"Then why are we waiting so early?"
"It's better to kill the wrong one than let it go. It's us who feed the mosquitoes, not Gang Leader. If we stay for half a month, it won't delay Gang Leader's marriage to a new concubine."
There was silence for a while.
"Damn it, it's all Lin Lao Er's fault. We didn't stop that fucking thing and let the people above know about it. Otherwise, we wouldn't have come to the river to suffer and feed the mosquitoes. This has never happened before."
"No one cared about water affairs in the past. As long as those mud-legged people paid their taxes on time, no one cared about your life or death. Now that River Conservancy Office is here, and it's still next door, we must not be as comfortable as before. Didn't we Gang Leader say a few days ago that we Whale Gang should be more restrained now, life will not be as easy as before, are you ready to cut manpower?"
Another man interrupted, "You guys said, if that River Conservancy Office really cares about this matter and sends people here, we won't really want to kill the official, right?"
"Kill an official? What are you thinking about? Don't want to die? Can you kill an official with your little arms and legs? You didn't hear anything Gang Leader said. Just give me some money and send it back. Don't cause any trouble."
"Can you send it back?"
"Have you ever seen a cat that doesn't steal sex? If you don't make money as an official, why do you want to be a sub-official?"
"Be patient, San Gang Leader said, when the wind blows over, he will take us to Fragrance Adding Tower to play with women and have fun as much as we want!"
"It tickles me."
"What's itching for? You're such a coward, you won't get sick, right?"
"You idiot! Get out of here!"
The boat was galloping, Liang Qu was leaning on the edge of the boat to do his exercises, and suddenly his heart moved.
The water waves were flowing, and the waves, which were more than half a height, emerged three feet out of the water, and went hand in hand with the boat. Through the moonlight, one could clearly see a two-foot-long Big Fish sitting in the center of the water waves.
The body is covered in green skin without scales, the nose is like a cow's nose, the head is large and square, very different from ordinary fish heads, and the eyes are round and huge.
Bullhead Fish! Another Treasure Fish! Bullhead Fish surfaced out of thin air, terrified, and swam forward with all its strength, but no matter how hard it struggled, it was always wrapped in the waves.
I didn't expect that I would be able to gain something unexpectedly just by traveling.
Liang Qu stretched out his hand, his fingers like eagle claws, pinched the back of the fish and took Bullhead Fish out of the wave.
The waves broke on the river, leaving behind billowing foam.
The biggest feature of Bullhead Fish is its immense strength. The strength that Bullhead Fish, which weighs one kilogram, can drag an ordinary fisherman into the water with a flick of its tail. If it were an ordinary fish, it would be impossible for a fish weighing less than twenty kilograms.
For this reason, this kind of fish cannot be seen on the market at all, and fishermen can only catch the smaller ones with a broken net.
When it grows a little bigger, it weighs three or four kilograms. Ordinary people may not be able to fight it face to face in the water. If it is accidentally slapped on the tail and faints, it will drown on the spot.
The Bullhead Fish in front of me weighs twelve or three pounds, and several adults cannot hold it down. Unfortunately, it is difficult to even move it in the hands of Liang Qu.
"Okay, let's take a rest and eat first!"
Liang Qu controls the water flow and takes off the rope nooses on the three beasts.
Fat Catfish and Cannot Move pulled the boat for most of the day without resting, and they were already empty.
Fist I'm not tired after being pulled all the time, but I'm just a little dizzy.
Awei climbed down from his wrist, lay down next to Bullhead Fish and tied his mouthparts. In a few breaths, all the blood on Bullhead Fish's body was sucked dry, and the fish's body shriveled slightly.
When there was no blood, Liang Qu took out Azure Wolf, chopped off the fish head with one knife, cleaned the black membrane and internal organs in Treasure Fish's body, sliced off the fish meat, and let the three beasts eat the fish bones and internal organs.
When the fish meat is put into the pot, it quickly turns white and floats.
Liang Qu I have only seen Bullhead Fish in books, but I have never taken it. I don't know how effective it is and whether it is stronger than Bullhorn Pomfret.
[Marsh Essence+2.4]
[Marsh Essence+2]
The whole Bullhead Fish is consumed, contributing Marsh Essence 42 points, and the integration degree increases by half a point.
The fish meat in the stomach turns into pure tonic, Blood Qi rises all over the body, Liang Qu gathers all the Qi and Blood into the marrow, and the blood is like a sea tide, with endless waves.
So hot.
After practicing Blood Barrier three times, Liang Qu took off his upper body clothes and jumped into the water to help his body dissipate heat.
I didn't expect that a Bullhead Fish would be so effective in nourishing it, half as much as Bullhorn Pomfret, and it would be one day faster to break through the fourth level.
In the past, Liang Qu always thought that Treasure Fish was Spirit Monster's childhood. Later, after reading more books, I realized that it was not the same thing.
Treasure Fish is Treasure Fish, and Spirit Monster is Spirit Monster. The two do not match.
Any fish may accidentally eat heavenly materials and earthly treasures, break through its own limitations, and turn into Spirit Monster.
But Treasure Fish was born and raised Spiritual Items.
There are some rare and precious Treasure Fishs, and one of them can contribute the flesh and blood energy that can only be obtained by swallowing an entire Spirit Monster.
Some are full of treasures, such as Bullhorn Pomfret. A pair of fish horns can be ground into powder and used as medicine, which can activate Qi and Blood all over Martial Artist and be used to make Blood Burst Pill and Blood Invigoration Pill.
The Marsh Essence contained in a pound of fish meat is several times that of ordinary Spirit Monster, and the meat quality is also much better.
Many Spirit Monster taste like raw beef, old and hard, with a lingering fishy smell.
Unfortunately, Spirit Monster is everywhere, and you can find it when you go deeper into the swamp. It can kill four or five in a night, which is too much for food. Treasure Fish is not so easy to encounter.
So far, Fat Catfish and their Treasure Fish capture levels are on the baseline of one day every two days.
Wow!
After eating and drinking enough, the three beasts surfaced, full of energy.
Liang Qu Cleaned up the cabin, put the pots and bowls into the water compartment, tied ropes to them, and continued on their way.
According to the current speed, we will arrive at Feng Bu County tomorrow morning.
