Dragonfolk

The imitation of the Fat Catfish was so lifelike that the Round Head "Fish License" next to it was half-believing and half-doubting.

The River Otter family stopped practicing their rather impressive Ape Fist and gathered around to watch the show.

The Fat Catfish complained bitterly to them, indicating that it had absolutely not been lazy and that the crab had been stolen by a villain! It swung its fins and slapped the back of its head, indicating that this was the place where the villain had attacked.

The Ta Ta Kai its paws, and the Fat Catfish was caught.

It crawled on all fours to the corner of the wall, picked up a piece of unused blue brick from the previous wall-building work, and slammed it against the back of its head.

Crack! The blue brick broke in two on the spot, raising a little bit of blue dust.

Ta Ta Kai threw away the broken brick in its hand.

Today's bitter fruit is the cause of yesterday's! The reason we were ambushed was because the Fat Catfish was too weak and hadn't trained its back of the head! From now on, I should hit the back of my head with a brick three hundred times every day to develop Iron Head Skill, so that I won't be easily knocked over like today!

In short, you must train! The Fat Catfish seemed to be deep in thought, then his eyes hardened.

Liang Qu ignored the Fat Catfish that had the Great River Otter smashing a brick on the back of its head, and was puzzled.

The Fat Catfish was at least at the peak of the Spirit Monster realm, equivalent to Martial Master at the Galloping Horse Extreme Realm, and its abilities were extraordinary.

The incident occurred underwater, a crucial location for the operation. To be able to silently and stealthily strike Fat Catfish underwater requires at least the Wolf Smoke Expert.

Wolf Smoke Expert even stealing crabs? That might be understandable in Liang Qu, an inland city.

Great Marsh! The Wolf Smoke Expert living near Ping Yang County who want to eat crabs don't even have to pay. They can just stand on the street and make a sound, and plenty of fishermen will come to curry favor with them.

It's a bit unreasonable for him to personally steal crabs...

Liang Qu looked at the smartest one, Round Head: "Was there any clue left where A Fei lay down?"

Round Head shook its head. After listening to the Fat Catfish's explanation, it immediately searched the vicinity but found no trace left behind.

After a moment's thought.

"Never mind, if we don't have it, we don't have it."

Liang Qu didn't care much.

A basket of crabs, at most a little bigger than ordinary crabs, nothing special, not worth the trouble of looking for.

The sound of breaking bricks continued, gradually forming two small hills.

As the patting continued, the Fat Catfish seemed to have gotten the hang of it. It raised its fins against the blue brick that the Great River Otter had slapped down, indicating that the two people who had stolen its crab were very tall, the largest of whom was half a head taller than a god!

Liang Qu was startled. "He's almost half a head taller than me!?"

Liang Qu is now 5 feet 64 inches tall, or 1.88 meters.

Someone half a head taller than me would have to be 2.5 or even 2.6 meters tall, right? Kou Zhuang, Innate Strong Bone, is only 2.1 or 2.2 meters tall!

That damn thing is human?

Liang Qu wasn't particularly interested in the crabs being stolen, but after hearing Fat Catfish's story, he became quite intrigued.

In the entire Ping Yang County, whether it was the Demon Subduing Division, the Three Laws Department, or the River Conservancy Office, I had no recollection of any Wolf Smoke Expert.

What strange creatures have appeared in the waters near Ping Yang County?

Speaking of which Liang Qu has encountered quite a few strange things in the past few months.

One giant snake, another strange fish in Hua Zhu County, and now...

"Hearing this, you seem to be Dragonfolk?"

The Old Giant Clam suddenly made a sound.

It huddled in a corner, seemingly basking in the sun quietly, but in reality, it was eavesdropping and gossiping all along.

"Dragonfolk?" Liang Qu turned his head. "Old Bei, do you know who's stealing the crabs?"

Besides absorbing the Marsh Essence, Old Giant Clam live for a thousand years. They seem useless on the surface, but at crucial moments they act like a search engine, popping up new terms all the time.

The Old Giant Clam said, "It is strong like a human, tall and big, with skin like white jade, and lives in the water. It can only be the legendary Dragonfolk. Why don't you ask that Big Fish what its skin color is like?"

Liang Qu looked towards the Fat Catfish.

The Fat Catfish pondered for a moment, then shook its head.

It was too dark to see clearly whether it was white or not.

What species are Dragonfolk?

"I have only heard rumors, and although I have lived for a thousand years, I have never seen it with my own eyes. However, I have heard that the Great Marsh Dragon Lord a naturally born dragon, which is extraordinary. When his life Essence Blood combine with the embryo, there is a high probability that a different species will be born."

The Dragonfolk, as the name suggests... or it is said that their race is generally tall and has skin as white as jade, making them appear unlike ordinary people.

Liang Qu suddenly realized and immediately thought of Red Mountain in the stable.

It seems that the Dragon Lord has cultivated many unusual species, not just horses. Having previously obtained Mermaid Tear, Liang Qu knew that Merfolk existed in the world.

It wouldn't be surprising if another Dragonfolk appeared now.

I wonder if it has horns on its head and a tail behind it? Unfortunately, the other party acted too quickly. The Fat Catfish only caught a glimpse of its general shape in the darkness, without seeing its specific features.

"Why did the Dragonfolk come to the vicinity of Ping Yang County? And why did they steal my basket of crabs?"

The Old Giant Clam said it didn't know.

It only travels one or two miles a day, accompanied only by a few Beaver Monster Spirit, and is very isolated from news.

However, the Old Giant Clam made a suggestion.

"If you want to know, why don't you see the Sparrow Arranging? Or set up another basket of crabs?"

"That makes sense."

Liang Qu seemed to be deep in thought.

Since the other party has already stolen a basket of crabs, they could easily set up targeted bait and maybe even catch them.

"The Dragonfolk who steal crabs are interesting."

The River Dolphin catch crabs and raise them in ponds.

The Fat Catfish, its head covered in brick dust, carried two fish baskets, one on its back and one in its arms, and set off again.

The Cannot Move "recovery" has not yet been restored.

Liang Qu brought out his Fist, which had been buried all night, and started banging on it, but the sound of the shell remained unchanged.

However, a few fine yellow lines appeared on its carapace, so delicate that they were hard to notice without careful observation.

As for the range of its perception, according to Fist, in one night, its perception covered one-third of the original pond's size.

"The road ahead is long and arduous..."

Liang Qu let the Fist return to the cave, and went to the West Wing to call out. Only after calling out did he remember that the Old Monk had gone to Huazhu last night.

After eating the Treasure Fish porridge alone in the kitchen, Liang Qu led Red Mountain. Following his Master's suggestion, he took some time to the Shanghu Academy and ask Headmaster Zhao an inscription.

Just then, Si Hengyi and Headmaster Zhao were playing chess in the courtyard.

Upon hearing the whole story of Liang Qu's visit to the academy, Si Hengyi was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

Liang Qu had only been away from the academy for half a year, yet he had already made a name for himself!

Zhao Ji clapped his hands and laughed, "The day Hengyi sent you your literacy method, I said that this child would definitely become a great man in the future. After a year, it has indeed come true as I predicted!"

"It's mostly due to the headmaster's excellent teaching." Liang Qu bowed deeply. "I only have these ten characters, and I earnestly hope that the headmaster will write them down and give them to his students so that they can constantly reflect on themselves."

Faced with Liang Qu's suggestion to request Ink Treasure, Zhao Ji readily agreed.

"Since it's going to be hung in the main hall, Hengyi, go to the second shelf on the right side of my study and get a painting scroll, and also take the Four Treasures."

"Yes, Headmaster."

When Si Hengyi reappeared, he had a scroll tucked under his arm.

Liang Qu stepped forward to help with the preparation, grinding ink, and taking the opportunity to glance at the contents of the scroll, which was a picture of a mountain stream waterfall.

The waterfall cascades down in layers, and when it reaches one-third of the way down the painting, it becomes another torrent that occupies most of the space, pouring down in a torrent.

Zhao Ji picked up his brush, inscribed words on the blank spaces on both sides, and then pressed his seal.

"Mountains govern population, water governs wealth," wrote Yu Mengxia during his visit to Jiangling Falls. Today, I present you with both the calligraphy and the painting!

"Thank you very much, Headmaster!"
