Summoning Wind and Rain
The Ze Cauldron suddenly disappeared, leaving only a wisp of Red Qi.
The Marsh Essence gathered into a blue light band that flowed into the limbs and bones, and a feeling of heat permeated the whole body.
The boat sped along, breaking through the rain curtain and gradually stretching out as a white Water Mist.
Liang Qu sat cross-legged at the bow of the boat, as steady as Mount Tai, without the slightest sway. He exerted all his strength to circulate his Qi and Blood, and occasionally a beastly roar could be heard from his body.
As the Marsh Essence flowed in, the fusion degree of the Marsh Ape continued to rise, and when it crossed the 40% threshold...
The Ze Cauldron trembled, Wu Zhiqi emitted a faint glow.
[The Marsh Ape Marsh Spirit have fused to a forty percent degree, and have mastered the Innate Skills — Calling Rain.]
Unlike before, as Wu Zhiqi's light shone, Yinglong beside him seemed to be moved, surging with fluorescent light. Tian Wu and River Lord were lit one after another.
[The Marsh Ape Marsh Spirit fused with forty percent of its power, absorbed a small amount of Ying Long Mark, and comprehended the Innate Skills — Summoning Wind and Rain.]
[The Marsh Ape and Marsh Spirit merged to a 40% degree, absorbed a small amount of Tian Wu, and comprehended the Innate Skills — Summoning Wind and Rain Summoning Mist.]
[The Marsh Ape and Marsh Spirit merged to a forty percent degree, absorbed a small amount of the River Master Emperor, and comprehended the Innate Skills — Stopping Wind Halting Rain Fixing Mist.]
[The Marsh Ape and Marsh Spirit merged to a forty percent degree, absorbed a small amount of the River Master Emperor, and comprehended the Innate Skills — Expelling Waterborne Diseases.]
Liang Qu frowned slightly, but did not open his eyes.
He continued to refine and increase his Qi and Blood until the fusion level was fully achieved, then he focused his spirit on experiencing the harvest.
What's going on? So many Innate Skills? (Communicate with Ze Cauldron)
[Cauldron Master: Liang Qu]
[Refine Marsh Spirit: Marsh Ape (Azure) (Fusion Rate: 42%)]
[Marsh Spirit's Favor: Martial Dao Divinity Level Two (River Master Emperor); Ying Long Mark: Level One; Tian Wu: Level One]
[Innate Skills: Water Leap, Water Breathing, Water Prison, Soaring Water Riding Waves, Intimidation, Vortex Aperture, Expelling Waterborne Diseases, Summoning Wind and Rain Summoning Mist, Stopping Wind Halting Rain Fixing Mist.]
[Marsh Essence: 65 points]
Liang Qu stared intently at Ze Cauldron, his mind sinking down to experience the three abilities, and gradually gained some understanding.
Marsh Ape expanded its power by absorbing the River Master Emperor, Yinglong, Tian Wu!? Marsh Ape's original ability should only be "Calling Rain".
By absorbing Yinglong, it became able to "Summoning Wind and Rain".
Then Tian Wu was added, becoming "the Summoning Wind and Rain Summoning Mist"! The River Master Emperor, on the other hand, is the opposite of Yinglong and Tian Wu. His power lies in controlling and managing water.
Therefore, when combined with the Marsh Ape, it forms the completely opposite effect of "Stopping Wind Halting Rain Fixing Mist"! As for Expelling Waterborne Diseases...
[Wherever the traveler goes, he dispels the plague and prevents all diseases from invading.]
Floods are often followed by major epidemics.
As the water recedes, silt and corpses coexist, and the floods, which often occur in Xia Tian, create a humid and hot environment, making it a breeding ground for bacteria and viruses.
In addition, the Flood Calamity leave people exhausted, frightened, and disoriented, lowering their resistance and making them highly susceptible to large-scale outbreaks of plagues or infectious diseases.
This power is equivalent to a large-scale disinfectant, which can curb the spread of epidemics caused by floods to a certain extent! What an amazing Water Monkey!
Liang Qu had a deeper understanding of Ze Cauldron.
Yinglong and Tian Wu both help with Calling Rain, while River Lord has the complete opposite effect.
Ze Cauldron is half human and half beast; perhaps it's more than just a difference in appearance...
"Stopping Wind Halting Rain Fixing Mist."
Liang Qu looked up at the sky, following the Sea of Consciousness consciousness, and activated his powers.
However, what followed was an extremely terrifying depletion of physical strength! Liang Qu's strength was like a river bursting its banks, instantly reaching its bottom.
A gust of river wind blew, and it swayed and tumbled headfirst into the Great Marsh.
"Thump."
The sound of rain drowned out the sound of water falling.
The Fat Catfish and other beasts kept rushing forward, completely unaware that Liang Qu had fallen off the boat. Only the River Dolphin on the sides of the boat and the Fist at the stern noticed.
With a swift movement of his Fist, he severed the rope around his waist, then leaped into the Great Marsh, his massive pincers lashing out to retrieve Liang Qu.
Several River Dolphin scattered one after another, turned around and surrounded the group. Two of them swam to the front and called out to the beasts that were moving forward with their heads down.
The Fist lifted the god, bringing him to the surface.
"Cough cough!"
Liang Qu squinted, spat out two mouthfuls of river water, and felt utterly weak.
One rainstorm nearly killed him from exhaustion!
As he gasped for breath, a ray of golden light suddenly illuminated his vision.
Turning his head, Liang Qu couldn't help but raise his hand to shield his eyes, the light and shadow interplaying on his face.
Within the iron-gray clouds, a patch of light, almost transparent, shone with a delightful brightness. Sunlight streamed through it, like hot water melting snow, the gap widening rapidly. A strong wind seemed to be driving away the clouds high in the sky.
Use your arms to push yourself up.
The rain had stopped sometime earlier, and a clear, water-washed turquoise appeared in a corner of the sky.
A gentle breeze rippled the surface of the river, and the water lapped softly against my skin.
However, outside the sunshine, a torrential downpour was underway.
The Rain Water seemed to flow like a waterfall through a hole in the center of the clouds.
The Fat Catfish and other beasts stared wide-eyed at the ever-changing sky, filled with awe at the strange sight of sunlight and dark clouds coexisting.
The entire scene was as if a god had casually tossed out a large, transparent glass jar, covering the entire water area of several square kilometers centered on Liang Qu, preventing any wind or rain from intruding.
"Only a few square kilometers."
Liang Qu was deep in thought.
He wasn't surprised.
Even the most powerful skills depend on who uses them.
If it were the real Wu Zhiqi, it's estimated that all the rainy areas in the lower reaches of the Jianghuai would stop raining.
Its effect is smaller than imagined.
With his Fist supporting him, Liang Qu returned to the boat and lay back down.
The boat paused temporarily, waiting for about 15 minutes. The hole in the sky began to shrink as dark clouds compressed it.
Moreover, the shrinking speed keeps increasing, and the hole will disappear in no more than half an hour.
"The size of those Summoning Wind and Rain should be similar," Liang Qu guessed.
A downpour that can be described as a torrential rain can accumulate more than two thousand tons of water per square kilometer within half an hour.
Within half an hour, the water volume in the several square kilometers that the rain stopped was approximately between 15,000 and 20,000 tons.
"Is it related to the amount of Water Control?"
Liang Qu suddenly realized.
It is no coincidence that he Water Control!
"At least leave room for maneuver."
If the downpour stops within half an hour, it cannot be said to be useless.
After a simple test, Liang Qu let the Fat Catfish continue moving forward while he buried himself in studying two books on flood control.
The next afternoon.
Liang Qu spread out a map on the belly of Red Mountain, circled his location, calculated his speed and distance, and found that he was not far from Hua Zhu County. He should be able to arrive by eight or nine o'clock in the evening.
It was two hours earlier than the midnight time stipulated by Xu Yuelong.
It was tough on the Fat Catfish and the other beasts. The four of them hadn't rested much and had been traveling the whole time. Now they were almost too tired to swim anymore. On the other hand, Liang Qu even took a nap while reading.
Near Hua Zhu County, broken logs and withered branches began to float on the water.
Liang Qu let the Fat Catfish come down to rest, and then replaced them with four ordinary River Dolphin to pull the boat.
As dusk fell, the boat entered the territory of the Black Water River.
Liang Qu attempted to Water Control, but the Water Control did not decrease, proving that the Black Water River was still within the coverage area of Jiang Huai's Favor.
The Black Water River is not as wide as the Jiang Huai River, but it is still quite rapid. Both sides are lined with rolling green hills, and the scenery is completely different from that of Ping Yang County.
The boat sailed upstream with the current, but a group of people in the mountains noticed this strange boat.
