From Bird Guns to Cannons

Those Cannot Move are veterans, favorites, hold high positions, are difficult to surpass, and enjoy the highest level of preferential treatment.

It swayed its tail as it passed several beasts and came to walk alongside the boat. Its nine-meter-long body was much longer than the boat's tail, making it look powerful and imposing.

The two short horns on its head, resembling withered tree stumps, add to its mysterious and domineering aura.

The Liang Qu connects to the Ze Cauldron, replenishing the last dozen or so points of Marsh Essence.

The moment the thought crossed his Ze Cauldron.

At the center of the ripples, three beams of azure light emerged and slowly rose to the mouth of the cauldron, shining brightly.

The situation is generally the same as when Awei evolved.

This is indeed a phenomenon unique to the third stage of evolution.

I wonder if there will be a fourth or fifth time?

Liang Qu's consciousness parted the bluish-gray and Red Qi, touched the bright light, and the corresponding information flooded into his mind, revealing the three directions of focus that the "Cannot Move" evolution could choose.

[Sharp Teeth]

[Whirlwind]

[recovery]

Liang Qu checked them one by one.

The content largely matches the literal meaning.

[Sharp teeth] strengthen the bite, crush metal and stone, and are extremely lethal.

[Whirlwind]: The body spins while thrusting forward, creating an effect similar to the Gang Wind of Galloping Horse Martial Master. It possesses powerful pulling force and area-of-effect damage, making it difficult for opponents to escape.

The third point is rather unique.

[Resurgence]: The Horn Wood grows two inches, bringing about a wide-ranging restoration of physical strength and vitality. Plants become vibrant and grow faster, and living beings enjoy longevity and good health.

An outbreak can restore some of the physical strength and vitality of surrounding creatures for a short period of time, after which the effect disappears for several days.

[Revival]! Liang Qu did not hesitate. He first tried to examine all three naked bodies, but found that it didn't work. Then he tried combining them in pairs, but that was still to no avail. Finally, he simply and decisively chose the third one!

If you have special qualities, you should certainly make use of them.

The Cannot Move has always had the effect of stimulating the growth of Spirit Plant. The growth of lotus roots in the Lotus Root Waters is entirely supported by the Cannot Move, and the Marsh Essence in the very center has now grown to seven or eight points.

I never expected the third evolution to bring such a huge transformation, turning it into an area-of-effect support! It can restore stamina and vitality in a short time, and it's crucial if used well.

Needless to say, it also prolongs life.

One beast evolves, the whole family benefits!

Strands of blue light peeled away from [Sharp Teeth] and [Whirlwind], wrapping around [Resurgence].

Once the [Revival] essence had grown to twice its original size, it suddenly entered the "Cannot Move" body.

He closed his eyelids, his entire body restraining its aura, Cannot Move.

The cocoon of light entangled itself, shattered, and vanished without a trace with the river breeze.

In the Black Water River, "Cannot Move" stretched out its body, growing even longer, reaching nearly 42 meters! The color of its scales gained an ancient, rustic green, resembling an ancient tree covered in moss in a forest, teeming with life.

"Cannot Move" raised its head, and the two horns on its head became even more solid and thick.

Liang Qu looked at the two corners, as if a gentle breeze was caressing his face. He couldn't quite describe the feeling, but he felt completely relaxed, as if spring had ventured into a rapeseed field, and he was taking a deep breath of the fragrance of yellow flowers, with bees buzzing around him.

In addition, the "Cannot Move" sharp teeth have changed, and it is clear that, like Awei, it retains two other evolutionary "residues".

"Give it a try."

Liang Qu jumped into the Black Water River, Command Water, his perception range extended several times. With a thought, the mighty river rose against the Reverse Flow.

The Black Water River lost its replenishment; the rushing water in front disappeared, while the water behind it quickly piled up, abruptly cutting off the middle and exposing the dark brown silt bottom. Many Big Fish leaped and splashed mud.

The Fat Catfish poked its head out from the half-built "wall of water," dumbfounded.

The ability to Command Water is similar to that of a lever; the more it conforms to the river, the greater the boost the Liang Qu receive, and vice versa.

After only four or five breaths, Liang Qu's strength was completely depleted.

"Cannot Move" seized the opportunity, its two horns glowing, and a green light surged into Liang Qu's body.

In an instant, energy surged forth from every part of his body, almost returning to its pre-drain state! "Wow!"

Liang Qu's eyes widened.

Can a sudden burst of "Cannot Move" fully restore one's physical strength?

With his Martial Bone, Qilin Pill, and the foundation of Marsh Ape, Liang Qu's physical strength is far greater than that of an ordinary Galloping Horse Martial Master; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's several times stronger.

"Cannot Move" is merely at the peak of the Spirit Monster realm, yet its explosive power is unbelievable.

Liang Qu regained his strength and controlled the water flow to catch up with the other half of the Black Water River, so as not to startle any boats or fishermen and make them climb back onto the boats.

After communicating with the person who was "Cannot Move," Liang Qu discovered that the "recovery" was more severe than he had imagined.

[Recovery] During an outbreak, the fewer the number of people benefiting at the same time, the stronger the effect, and it can focus on restoring either vitality or stamina.

It's like being pulled back from the brink of death with moderate injuries, but with less stamina recovery, or being pulled back from the brink of death with severe injuries, but with more stamina recovery.

It's impossible to completely abandon one side, since the two are intertwined and inseparable.

"Powerful!"

Liang Qu patted his Cannot Move head, overjoyed.

Cannot Move, it swished its tail and followed the boat, unperturbed by praise or blame.

Ironwood Mountain, the top general under the Heavenly God, was full of charisma.

Liang Qu then looked at the Fat Catfish.

Witnessing the enormous change of being "Cannot Move," the Fat Catfish drooled with desire, and hurriedly raised its head, rested it on the edge of the boat, and waved its two Long Whiskers.

"Don't worry, you're the second one."

Liang Qu spent more than 20 points of Marsh Essence to fill the last gap, and three beams of light appeared one by one inside the Ze Cauldron.

Investigation summary.

[jaws of death]

The bite is strengthened, the teeth are sharp and powerful, and the "wave" skill is lengthened, widened, and penetrated to enhance its interference capabilities.

[Unyielding Body]

Physical enhancement: faster, higher, stronger, more durable and resistant to damage—a versatile enhancement method.

[swirl]

Physical enhancement has a different focus compared to Unyielding Body. It allows one to enter a "Ink Mist" state for a short time, generating a large number of water vortices when swimming, producing a powerful attraction and pulling force, leaving prey with nowhere to escape.

When Liang Qu saw the last one, he inexplicably thought of the Six-Whiskered Catfish's signature move.

The Six-Whiskered Catfish is fierce in nature. When attacking, it will first move its pectoral fins to create a powerful vortex that disorients its prey.

This trick is very useful for catching fish.

After Liang Qu took control of the Fat Catfish, his daily catch increased significantly, becoming his first pot of gold to turn his life around.

Later, Liang Qu left his job as a fisherman and became a warrior, so the Fat Catfish rarely used this trick anymore.

"Ink Mist... does that sound like it has no real form?"

After a moment's thought.

Liang Qu chose [Vortex].

If you have a new skill, you should naturally choose that new skill.

Ze Cauldron's essence flowed, most of it gathering into the [vortex] and entering the Fat Catfish's body.

Enveloped in a cocoon of light, then shattered.

The Fat Catfish stretched out its graceful body, and its overall length became similar to that of a "Cannot Move" fish, approaching four zhang (approximately 12 meters).

Its broad, dark blue back is smooth and glossy, and its fins resemble black ink scattered in clear water, flowing and surging.

The large mouth is completely different from that of ordinary catfish. What was originally just a resemblance has now become a tiger's mouth shape.

The tiger is majestic and powerful.

The Fat Catfish's first evolution was quite different from its original catfish appearance, becoming so domineering and imposing that it didn't resemble a wide-mouthed catfish at all.

Otherwise, the Old Toad wouldn't have been so skeptical as to mistake a catfish for a frog.

Evolution is complete, no command is needed.

The Fat Catfish darted out joyfully, flicked its tail, and swooped down, instantly turning into a large cloud of "Ink Mist".

Wherever the Black Mist went, invisible waves spread, creating large whirlpools that collided with each other, causing chaos underwater.

The Fat Catfish sensed something and stopped charging recklessly, instead circling around the center.

Countless whirlpools overlapped and combined, forming a huge whirlpool with a diameter of tens of meters, as if a giant pen was inserted into the water and stirred, with ink-stained tips appearing and disappearing, spreading out large swaths of Black Mist.

The river churned and the mountains shook; the rocks on the banks could not withstand the force and fell into the whirlpool, where they were pulverized into pieces.

The boat remained motionless at the edge of the whirlpool. Looking down, Liang Qu saw a large area of riverbed silt exposed in the center of the whirlpool.

It is quite similar to the story of the Great Sage stirring up the Eagle's Sorrow Stream.

Liang Qu made the Fat Catfish stop stirring and enter a "Ink Mist" state before coming to the side of the boat.

The "Ink Mist" surged, and if you reached inside, you could feel a thick, gelatinous mass, indicating that it couldn't be immune to physical attacks.

"Just because it's not possible now doesn't mean it won't be possible in the future."

Liang Qu thought of the incredible supernatural Divine Ability of Grandmaster, and perhaps the Fat Catfish would improve when it reached that point.

Collect your thoughts.

Liang Qu looked at the two guardians standing side by side on either side, feeling pleased.

"Well done!"

With one support and one controller, the overall strength of the Water Beast team has greatly increased!

Round Head and Fist arrived at the side of the boat one after the other.

Liang Qu, in one fell swoop, mobilized the essence to fully replenish the two beasts.

Six beams of light slowly emerged from within the Ze Cauldron.
