Strange Pearl

Anxiety permeated the underwater world.

Three Little River Porpoise huddled together, surrounded by the adult River Dolphin, touching and comforting each other.

Liang Qu didn't quite understand how River Dolphin communicated; he only watched as the Round Head finless porpoise and the River Porpoise King faced off for a while, a major battle about to break out.

Boom! The two behemoths collided, and a surging torrent of water gushed out.

The surrounding aquatic plants suddenly bent low, and if Liang Qu had not manipulated the water flow to fix the plants in place, they would have been exposed.

All the River Dolphin tacitly watched from the sidelines, without stepping forward to help.

King versus king—the fundamental Principle upon which their tribes depend for survival.

There can only be one leader, and it must be the strongest and most intelligent member of the Clan Pig, so that they can lead everyone to survive better.

Amidst the water plants, Little River Porpoise was held close to Fist to prevent her from rushing out and ruining the plan.

But it didn't seem to react much, wagging its tail excitedly.

After a collision, the scarred River Dolphin porpoise was dizzy. Before it could recover, the Round Head creature bit its side rib. The scarred River Dolphin was in excruciating pain and immediately regained its senses, biting the Round Head's neck in return.

Fresh blood seeped into the water.

The two beasts were like pythons fighting over food, neither willing to give up.

Round Head a powerful thrust, the two forces separated, regrouped, and launched a second attack.

Boom! The water flowed backward.

A dull thud echoed throughout the underwater world.

Liang Qu saw two argali sheep charging at each other on the plateau in a battle for a mate, launching wave after wave of attacks.

The difference is that River Dolphin will also bite each other, spilling blood.

He felt a headache coming on.

It's been hard on Round Head. He'll have to spend a hundred Minor Merit another day to get his wife in exchange, so the family can be reunited.

River Dolphin can be exchanged using Minor Merit; one hundred Minor Merit can be exchanged for another River Dolphin token.

Liang Qu can earn an average of five Minor Merit a day, and in the past half month, he has earned seven or eight a day.

The best effect of eating three Cockscomb Fruit within twelve hours is achieved; eating more than that will reduce the effectiveness.

He basically only spent two Minor Merit each day, and occasionally exchanged for some miscellaneous pills, but they were not of high value and were not numerous.

I estimate I've saved up about a hundred, so exchanging it shouldn't be a problem.

Ask Secretary Li when you have time.

The smell of blood in the water grew stronger.

Charge, ram, whip, bite.

The scarred River Porpoise King was covered in wounds, and its eyes became unfocused.

Round Head also had some bruises, but they were much better than scars.

Round Head, which evolved from Ze Cauldron, has only just entered the realm of the River Porpoise King, but its foundation is much stronger than that of the wild River Dolphin finless porpoise, Scar.

It's only a matter of time before we take down the wild tribes in front of us.

Half a cup of tea's time passed, and with another charge, the Scarred River Porpoise King could not withstand the onslaught and was slammed against the rocks.

As the rocks crumbled, the River Porpoise King fell into the mud and sand, covered in wounds, unable to get up for a long time.

Round Head did not take advantage of the porpoise's danger; it swam around the rocks, waiting for the scarred River Porpoise King to get up.

However, no matter how much the River Porpoise King struggled, it was powerless to rise again, futilely raising dust and sand.

The outcome is already decided.

Round Head is the new leader of the group! The other River Dolphin were watching the battle came forward one after another and acknowledged Round Head's new leadership.

"Stay or expel?"

During the Mental Link, Liang Qu received a message from Round Head.

Finless River Dolphin share similarities with wolf packs: they cooperate efficiently, are united, and possess formidable fighting power.

Of course, they are not exactly the same.

River Dolphin are monogamous, and wolves are also monogamous, but in wolf packs, the alpha wolf has no mates, and the wolf king has a queen.

The River Dolphin finless porpoise is more like a group of families that have come together to live, and then they choose the strongest one to be the leader.

Therefore, it is not necessary to expel the previous River Porpoise King from the group.

As for killing, that option is completely unavailable.

"Stay."

After thinking about it, Liang Qu decided that there was no need to drive the scarred River Dolphin out.

It would be absolutely unbelievable if a wild finless River Dolphin could develop faster than the Water Beast it commands.

Round Head leader's position is unshakeable.

Moreover, the scarred River Dolphin itself is a capable fighter; if it leaves, its wife and children will definitely follow.

As expected, two River Dolphin, one large and one small, separated from the River Dolphin pod and gently touched the fallen River Porpoise King.

The Round Head creature turned around and came to the side of the scarred River Porpoise King.

After a series of incomprehensible exchanges, Liang Qu learned from Round Head that the scarred finless River Dolphin had chosen to stay.

Don't lose face.

This is a tradition of the River Dolphin porpoise family.

After the Round Head- headed man had bonded with his tribe and become the new leader, Liang Qu led his group of Water Beast out leisurely.

Suddenly, several Water Beast, almost the same size as the leader, appeared. The entire River Dolphin pod was in a panic, swarming around the calf and hiding behind Round Head. Unexpectedly, Round Head was the first to rush forward and lower his head.

Liang Qu patted the Round Head head.

"Well done."

The scene was unprecedented. The entire River Dolphin pod appeared extremely panicked, constantly calling out in an attempt to call back the new leader.

The Round Head creature turned and hissed.

The River Dolphin hesitated slightly, but gradually began to respond.

It's hard to say whether the River Dolphin finless porpoise is intelligent or not.

If Liang Qu were to directly take control of the tribes, they would definitely refuse and would only try to flee.

However, if the chief agrees, the rest of the tribesmen have no objections and unanimously follow the chief's decision.

Before long, the entire tribe bowed down and submitted.

Liang Qu easily and indirectly led the entire clan.

The Little River Porpoise excitedly darted among the River Dolphin and quickly became friends with the other three Little River Porpoise.

It hadn't played with other dolphins its age for a long time.

Liang Qu beckoned, Fat Catfish came forward carrying a cloth bag. He reached in, pulled out many sections of lotus root, and fed them to Round Head and...

"I'll call you..." Liang Qu noticed that this former River Porpoise King porpoises also had a scar on his head. "I'll call you Scarhead."

Scarhead had no Mental Link and was confused about the new name. Round Head relayed it to him and soon responded to the Scarhead mentioned by Liang Qu.

Liang Qu felt a pang of emotion.

The River Dolphin finless porpoise is indeed intelligent.

With a small force suddenly appearing under his command, the first step was naturally to relocate, moving them all to the vicinity of the Lotus Root Field.

From now on, there will be no need to worry about having no beasts to guard the house when you bring your Water Beast out in full force, and then some person suddenly comes and destroys the foundation you built up from scratch.

Secondly, naturally, it involves collecting all kinds of treasures, Treasure Fish, which would increase efficiency several times over.

The rivers, lakes, and seas are too vast; relying on a few Fat Catfish to find treasures is extremely inefficient.

Each ordinary River Dolphin finless porpoise is equivalent to an ordinary Martial Artist.

It's probably impossible to catch the really powerful Treasure Fish, but most of the common Treasure Fish are definitely easy to catch and not a problem at all.

What a coincidence!

Seemingly to curry favor with the leader of the leaders, Scarhead carefully picked up an item that shimmered faintly.

Liang Qu stretched out his hand, Scarhead spat out the object, which turned out to be a uniquely shaped bead.

Its shape is not spherical; it is large at one end and small at the other, resembling a dewdrop hanging from the tip of a leaf in the early morning. Its transparency is extremely high, comparable to glass.

This is definitely not a pearl.

It does resemble... a teardrop? [Marsh Essence +2672]

Liang Qu: "?"
