Chapter 368 River Crab
thump--
Along the beautiful river in spring, the water splashes storm, and a few wild ducks that were growing in the reed marsh flew away.
Zuo Lingquan plunged into the river, and his natural body was born with a watery body, which turned into a cross-river dragon when he entered the water, and his movements were a little faster than on land.
It was noon, and the sun was above my head. The river water was more than three meters deep and was not dim. You can see the water plants and sunken stones and rotten trees at the bottom of the river.
Zuo Lingquan followed the perception and rushed to the middle of the river. In just two breaths, a ghostly black shadow was found more than a hundred feet away.
The black shadow is as big as a millstone, and it is oval. Zuo Lingquan originally thought it was an old turtle at the bottom of the river, but when he looked closely, he found that the black shadow in front was climbing horizontally at the bottom of the river, with eight legs in black red color, and the two pairs of pliers had a faint metallic luster. It was a big river crab that he had practiced for many years.
Xie Qiutao is also watery. After entering the river, he swam quickly, his movements are smooth and without losing speed, just like a dragon girl strolling in the garden of the Dragon Palace. When he saw the monster, he was a little surprised:
"Gulugulu... Cough - What a big crab! No wonder Tuanzi couldn't help it..."
After eating the autumn crabs from Chunchao Lake in Qianqiu Yuefu, Tuanzi had no resistance to the large crabs. At this time, he was chasing the water diligently and even rushed to the front of the two of them. He was probably thinking about steaming or braising.
"Duanzi, go back."
Zuo Lingquan saw that the crab spirit was too fast and he was cautious when he was not sure about the details. He asked Tuanzi to return to Jingyan and then crossed the line with Xie Qiutao...
The big river crab that fled at the bottom of the river was not low in intelligence. It seemed that he had thought about being captured by hunters for a long time and had made some traps at the bottom of the river in advance. However, the things that he could figure out without his elders were still too ridiculous in front of the human race. It was just a little bit of foot-wrapped water plants, round stones about the same size as river crabs, and used wooden sticks to put eight legs as disguise, etc., which could not stop the two of them.
Zuo Lingquan chased after the river for about two miles. After confirming that the escaped crab spirit was not very dangerous, he suddenly accelerated. With a muffled sound of "boom--", the river bottom was directly rushed out of a hole, and it was already in front of the river road in the blink of an eye.
The big crab that was escaping did not react slowly. Seeing Zuo Lingquan rushing to the front, he raised the crab claws and wanted to fight back.
The attack of the crab claws was clumsy in Zuo Lingquan's eyes, but what surprised him was that while the black crab claws were lifted, a white stream of light appeared on the crab armor, and they gathered towards the crab claws with naked eyes.
Boom-
Just as the crab claws closed, the green thunder exploded at the bottom of the river and instantly hit Zuo Lingquan who was blocking the road.
Zuo Lingquan was a little surprised, but he was not too afraid.
Birds and beasts are very different in terms of talent. The turtle spirits in the Youhuang Realm may be difficult for jade-level monks to break the defense; but God treats the people equally, and if they give them strengths, they will inevitably have shortcomings. The combat power of the turtle spirit is not much different from that of the turtle spirit.
Crabs belong to the genus of scale armor. Like turtles, they follow the "Dijia" path, with slightly higher combat power, but that's all, far inferior to the genus of the dragon. If you can lie down a human genius like Zuo Lingquan by knowing the thunder method, then the human genius would not become the master of Jiuzhou.
When he sensed that the crab mobilized the power of heaven and earth, Zuo Lingquan was already on guard. The green thunder as thick as a wrist attacked, hitting only the Xuanming Sword in his hand, without even the slightest movement.
Behind, Xie Qiutao had already jumped up and took the opportunity to hit the crab armor with a hammer, making a loud "blocking" sound.
Mars exploded at the bottom of the crab armor. Its texture was as hard as iron and stone, and there were no cracks. However, the river crab, which was only the size of a millstone, was directly smashed into the mud at the bottom of the river by huge force, and a large pit of more than meter in radius was knocked out at the bottom of the river.
As the waves surging, Xie Qiutao took advantage of the victory and held the pipa in reverse to try again, but Zuo Lingquan, who was holding the sword, suddenly spoke:
"etc."
Xie Qiutao stopped in the water quickly and was on guard against the surrounding area. He was about to ask what was wrong, but found that something was wrong with the crabs that were smashed into the bottom of the river.
After some hunting, the bottom of the river had turned into muddy water, but you could still see the crabs at the bottom of the pit.
The big crab, which was in black red, nodded, but lay on the ground, clumsyly nodding. The black bead-like eyes could clearly see the feeling of fear.
Although the crab spirit moves clumsy and funny, it can be seen that it is learning to kowtow. Xie Qiutao was stunned. Seeing this, he put down the iron pipa and asked in a deep voice:
"Bold monster, are you convinced?"
The crab has already developed its intelligence and lives near the gathering places of the people. It can understand people's words, but it can't speak, and it just lies at the bottom of the pit and shivering.
Zuo Lingquan put away the Xuanming Sword and shrugged slightly:
"It seems to be convinced."
Seeing that the storm at the bottom of the river stopped, Tang Jingyun and Tuanzi also floated over. They didn't like to go into the water, so they stood on the water.
The dumpling was very excited, and looked like a 'knocking bowl and waiting for the meal', and on the water: "Jijiji~..." he was spinning around.
The first time Tang Jingwen saw such a big crab, she was a little afraid and asked:
"What should I do now? I'm afraid I won't be able to find such a big pot..."
Xie Qiutao really wanted to steam the big crabs, feed the meat to the dumplings, and sell the crab shells to make armor. It would probably make a lot of money.
However, according to the rules of eliminating demons, killing should be cautious. Birds and beasts practice for thousands of years to achieve enlightenment is far more difficult than human race. It is a matter of cutting off their great path for the sake of a fur, which violates the concept of "the way of immortality is to value life" and also destroys the natural balance. Therefore, birds and beasts that do not harm the people still focus on "educating to be good".
This big crab lived in the Shajiang River and only stole some strange objects. Obviously, hesitated and looked at Zuo Lingquan:
"This is Posa Forest, with demons everywhere. If they are released, no one will teach you that they will definitely become a demon clan in the future. What should I do now?"
Seeing that this crab spirit had been learning to kowtow and begging for mercy, Zuo Lingquan shook his head and said:
"According to the rules, take Chunlu Peak to report first, um... they should not dislike the spirit beasts in Youhuang Realm."
“Gu…”
The dumpling suddenly became depressed and whispered in a low voice, probably saying, "What a troublesome thing, why don't you stew it..."
The crab spirit begging for mercy in the river could understand the meaning of the two of them. There was a reluctance in his eyes and the crab legs moved.
Seeing this, Xie Qiutao mentioned Tie Pipa again: "You crab, you don't know how lucky you are. If it weren't for us today, you would have become a steamed crab. If you go out to study hard in the future, you might have a great road to heaven..."
The intelligence of the Dahe Crab is probably equivalent to a seven or eight-year-old child. Seeing this, she dared not run away. After being scolded for a while, she looked at somewhere in Jiangxin.
After staying with Tuanzi for a long time, Zuo Lingquan and Tuanzi can roughly understand the simple meaning of birds and beasts, let the road be opened, and signal the crabs to pass.
The river crab moved carefully for a few times and crawled towards the center of the river. The speed was not slow. In about half a quarter of an hour, it arrived at a bend in Shajiang. There was a hole under the stone cliff on the shore.
Zuo Lingquan followed into the entrance of the cave, and it was seen that there was a hole three feet in a radius, which was hardly chiseled out by crab claws. It was quite clean, with a bunch of puppets, cups, stools and other debris inside.
Xie Qiutao followed in with the intention of seeing if this big crab had any treasures to be given to her as a gift for her, but after scanning the whole circle, he was very disappointed:
"What are you doing to steal these things? You can't use them. Just honestly explain to practice in the cave, and you won't be discovered..."
The big crab has already developed wisdom. Like dumplings, it must have its own hobbies. Even if she was scolded by Xie Qiutao, she still searched in the pile of miscellaneous items and found a wooden box for jewelry, carefully protected it with crab claws, and placed it under her body.
Xie Qiutao blinked, put on a majestic look, and stretched out his right hand:
"See what, let me see."
The big crab cared about the wooden box very much and was reluctant, but due to the tyranny of the man and woman in front of him, he still placed the box on the ground.
Xie Qiutao picked up the wooden box and opened it and found that it contained four porcelain bottles.
The porcelain bottle is blue and has a special material. It looks like a bottle containing elixirs, but the mouth of the bottle is empty. Zuo Lingquan didn't see what it had been installed before.
"What is this?"
"This is……"
Xie Qiutao picked up the bottle and looked at it carefully, then went to the mouth of the bottle and sniffed it. After thinking for a while, he said thoughtfully:
"It's a elixir, but the medicine tastes special, and the one added should be the dragon glutinous vine. The function of the dragon glutinous vine is to expand the qi and blood meridians. The medicinal properties are too great and are highly toxic to humans. Only some demon cultivators who are born with strong bodies will use this thing as medicine, and they are mostly used when breaking the mirror... This big crab should be by chance. He stole this elixir and carried it over and did not die. He luckily prescribed the spiritual intelligence..."
After the spirit beast accidentally eats heavenly treasures and earthly treasures, it will be extremely in love with what it eats. It will try every means to collect it in the future, and even if it is not used, it will be kept by your side as a guardian saint.
If the big crab cares so much about these empty bottles, it will be easy to guess the source of its practice.
Zuo Lingquan looked at it briefly and found that the bottles were different from old and old. The time difference was probably a hundred years. It was definitely not something I picked up in one go, but the styles were the same. He thought about it and handed the jewelry box to the big crab and asked:
"Where did you find these bottles?"
The big crab hurriedly put away the jewelry box, lifted the crab claws, and pointed to the upper reaches of the Shajiang River.
It is impossible for a monk to eat elixirs that help break the realm in an unsafe place. The same is true for the demon clan. Where you can pick up such a bottle is likely to be near the demon cultivator's nest.
Zuo Lingquan took out the map of Fulin Kingdom from Linglong Pavilion and followed the Shajiang River to search for suspicious places.
However, if there is a demon clan nest in the upper reaches of the Shajiang River within the sphere of influence of the righteous path, it will have been cleaned up long ago. There is no special mark on the map given by Wangchuan City.
Xie Qiutao came up to look at it and saw the words "Cufengling" next to a tributary of Shajiang River, and was slightly stunned:
"I came over on the ferry and heard that there was something strange on the other side of Camel Ridge. It seemed that someone bumped into a grave and disappeared again..."
Zuo Lingquan had no other clues, so he put away the map:
"Then it's a high probability that it's here, go and have a look..."
Chapter completed!
