Collaborative Development!

The Toad put down the piece of Wooden Head, turned its head to the side, glanced at Liang Qu, stared at "Cannot Move", and finally looked back at Liang Qu.

"Cannot Move," it wagged its tail, lay down on the ground, and remained calm and collected.

Liang Qu commands Water Beast, and when he encounters a harmless Great Demon, he feels no pressure on his life level.

Once you've been there, you'll get used to it. Liang Qu stepped forward and greeted him, "Your Great King, how have you been?"

The Toad stood up straight, poked its head out, and looked around.

Where's the boat?

"I have disappointed Your Great King. I have not come here today to deliver a new ship..."

Liang Qu awkwardly recounted the story of Heavenly Water Long Qi.

"Therefore, I would like to cross the vortex and start from Your Great King's place, as it is closer in distance."

The distance of 1,600 to 1,700 li for the Old Toad is estimated from the heartland of the Frog Clan.

Starting from the waters surrounding Yi Xing Town, Liang Qu is at least three times the distance, which is time-consuming and laborious.

Hearing that there were no new ships, the Toad felt bored. It lay down against the cave wall and pried open its toes.

"There haven't been any new ships for over ten days."

Toad's sleep and wakefulness count as a day, which Liang Qu is used to, but the semi-accountability from its biggest financier requires a proper response.

"A new ship is under construction. This time it's a large sailing warship, four zhang long and with six masts! There are thirty-six holes on each side to extend the oars, all of which protrude like bird wings, it's magnificent... extremely exquisite, it will definitely be delivered before the end of the month!"

The shipyard had an inexhaustible supply of Horn Wood, Shang Zao techniques, the help of the River Otter, and the increased intelligence of the Great Beaver after accepting their rule. The beaver family's production capacity had exploded to one ship per month—four zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) in size! "Could it be even bigger?"

The Toad holds up the Ship Model with one hand, casting a shadow that makes it appear somewhat miniature.

"Even bigger?"

Liang Qu looked troubled.

"Even if it's larger... it's uncertain whether we can pass through the vortex channel. Even if we can, the ship's structure is too large and heavy, and some of the joints are somewhat fragile, making it easy to cause damage when it passes through..."

Size is not a problem; Liang Qu Fu's boat is nearly six zhang long.

Transportation is the key.

To save costs, ships are mostly built with ordinary Wooden Head. When passing through eddies, the ship spins around, and the masts, in particular, are very easy to break.

The Toad, knowing the ship was fragile, was greatly disappointed.

Liang Qu: "Your Great King, rest assured, I am currently attempting to develop a ship type that can be assembled."

Disassembling the ship into Dragon Bone, ribs, masts, and other parts, bringing them in batches for assembly, might be a viable solution, and would surely allow the construction of ships over five zhang in length!

Hmm? A five-zhang-long ship?

The Toad was very interested. "How long will it take to get better?"

"Unable to determine at the moment... We are trying."

Liang Qu has always been engaged in research and development and innovation, but he doesn't have much time for it usually. When he encounters difficulties, he puts it aside for a period of time, working on it intermittently.

This matter has now been fully entrusted to Chief Engineer Beaver.

Before taking control, the Great Beaver could only read pictures; after taking control, it could write and draw, which was quite remarkable.

The Toad urged, "Hurry up! A large, assembled ship can be exchanged for two things!"

Liang Qu's eyes lit up. "I will certainly not fail in my mission!"

We need to get the Great Beaver to step up its game.

Without a new ship, the Toad is back to its nest.

Liang Qu wisely took his leave.

The Fat Catfish can be sworn brothers with the Toad, but he is just a tool for delivering boats.

The man and the crocodile walked for several miles, crossed the mountain peaks, and the scenery suddenly changed. The earth was filled with shimmering colors, which made the bottom of the water glow.

Liang Qu could see the towering lotus stalks and various Big Frog darting downstream, a visually striking sight, especially since many of the frogs seemed to be patrolling with the Mountain Character Anchor he had invented...

"Standard weapons?"

Liang Qu fell into deep thought.

I never expected that my invention would have such a chain reaction.

After a while.

The Fat Catfish had infiltrated the heart of the Frog Clan, received the message and hurriedly left the tribe's territory, carrying something with it.

Liang Qu raised an eyebrow.

I feel like the Fat Catfish has gotten a little fatter since I last saw it, but it's not obvious. I can't be sure if it's in a growth phase after evolution. Even its swimming posture is more like a frog jumping...

The Frog Clan have yielded such obvious results? Never mind.

Time is tight and the task is heavy.

Without bothering with pleasantries, Liang Qu asked the Fat Catfish to point out the direction the Old Toad had indicated that day.

The Fat Catfish immediately straightened its body, transforming into a pointing needle.

Liang Qu came up above the Fat Catfish and took out a waterproof Compass.

After comparing them, he used his fingernail to pinch a deep mark in the direction the Fat Catfish was pointing.

After gesturing the direction, the Fat Catfish released its fins and dropped a semi-transparent membrane.

Liang Qu noticed early on that the Fat Catfish was carrying something. He picked up the thin membrane and rubbed it with his fingertips.

Translucent, tough, reminiscent of Fat Catfish infiltrating Frog Clan...

"Toad Skin Coat?"

The Fat Catfish nodded vigorously.

Liang Qu asked, puzzled, "What's the use?"

The Fat Catfish waved its Long Whiskers.

"You got it from the Da Pang commander. Having it is like the Frog Clan's great commander himself is here, and none of the Great Demon in the south would dare to offend him?"

Liang Qu suddenly realized.

The Toad Skin Coat has an effect similar to Waist Token, which is part of official attire.

With its "Waist Token," it has unrestricted access to the southern waters! Not bad at all! Hearing the praise, the Fat Catfish smugly glanced at the "Cannot Move" sign.

"Cannot Move," it said dismissively, turning away and scratching its rear end with its claws.

Everything is ready.

Holding a waterproof Compass, Liang Qu determined the direction, sat cross-legged on the "Cannot Move" head, grabbed the Fat Catfish's Long Whiskers whiskers, and used his Water Movement, leaving behind a large cloud of white vapor before disappearing without a trace.

Changes in light and shadow.

The Liang Qu, illuminated by Golden Eye, is occasionally seen from above.

Within a 300-mile radius, scattered Frog Clan dot the underwater landscape.

Beyond three hundred miles, the number of the Frog Clan settlements decreased, while the number of other races increased, and various Big Fish could often be seen, their presence made no attempt to conceal themselves.

There was also a Water Tiger Fish with teeth bigger than a person! The Water Tiger Fish glanced at Liang Qu, which was rushing past like a shooting star, and seemed to sense the fluctuation of the Toad Skin Coat, but did not move.

Liang Qu was terrified. He swallowed a Essence Enhancing Pill pill and, while recovering his strength, took the opportunity to observe more carefully.

"The Demon Court Four Pillars do not mean that the entire Great Marsh has been completely divided up. There are other powerful Water Beast beneath the corresponding waters..."

The night flew by.

Liang Qu spared no effort in his journey, consuming an entire bottle of Essence Enhancing Pill, and finally arrived at the area mentioned by the Old Toad before dawn.

Awei broke free from his wrist, and the group of humans and beastmen split into four groups to search for the so-called valley.

As dawn broke.

The lower beams of light were already scattered in the higher, shallower areas.

The search continued until noon.

Awei finally found the exact location.

Liang Qu sent a message to the other two beasts, instructing them to meet at the same location.

The earth cracked open, valleys stretched out, bottomless, and water flowed slowly.

Cannot Move, the Fat Catfish arrive one after another.

Liang Qu told the two beasts to hide and not come out, and to wait outside for them. He then took Awei and swam into the valley.

The valley was pitch black, but after swimming for a while, a few lights suddenly appeared in the darkness.

The Glowing Vine spread like a spider web across both sides of the valley, providing a reasonably good view.

The sudden appearance of a green vine is a bit unusual...

Liang Qu clung to the rock wall and cautiously approached. Sure enough, there were already Dragonfolk stationed here.

Numerous caves have been carved out on both sides of the open valley, from which green vines grow.

A rough count revealed that there were more than a dozen caves, and the number was still increasing.

The vanguard of the Dragonfolk? They concealed their auras quite well, making it impossible to tell who was leading them.

but...

Liang Qu's gaze fell on one of the Dragon Girl.

Of the dozen or so Dragonfolk present, only one was a Dragon Girl ...

Female Martial Artist are generally few in number. Yang Dongxiong has nine disciples, but only one is female, which must be unusual.

Having identified his target, Liang Qu focused his observations on the Dragon Girl.

As expected, within a few quarters of an hour, one could often see Dragonfolk taking the initiative to "meet" with the Dragon Girl, presumably to report to her.

All indications suggest that the Dragon Girl is most likely one of the leaders of this advance force.

"It's really big..."

A quick glance at Liang Qu revealed that the vast majority of the Dragonfolk were over seven feet tall, which is more than 2.3 meters, with some reaching 2.4 meters or even 2.5 meters.

The Dragon Girl was the shortest, but she looked a few centimeters taller than Liang Qu himself, and her overall figure was quite slender.

Handsome men and beautiful women.

Under the fluorescent light, the Dragonfolk's White Marble- like skin appeared as if it had been bathed in a layer of milk.

Liang Qu was different; he spent his days wandering in the Great Marsh, getting thoroughly sunburned, and his skin was basically wheat-colored.

Besides the Dragonfolk, Liang Qu also saw two Toad.

One red and one yellow, chattering away, must be having a conversation.

"Dragon Man Tribe and Frog Clan together? I feel like there's more to it than that..."

The image of the Old Toad popped into Liang Qu's mind.
