Becoming a God from a Water Monkey

Chapter 388 Spring is here, I can’t hold it back
When Liang Qu tamed a group of wild finless porpoises last year, he obtained many treasures, including a transparent teardrop-shaped jewel that contributed more than 2,600 grams of water essence.

The old giant clam was knowledgeable and recognized the jewels as mermaid tears at a glance. He also said that when real dragons were still alive, there was a mermaid tribe near Xueshi County.

Therefore, Liang Qu has long coveted any surviving remains of the mermaids.

Unfortunately, Xueshi County is too far away and is located in the northernmost part of Huaiyin Prefecture.

After going back and forth, plus searching without a specific location, it would take at least half a month to get the answer.

In order to avoid attracting too much attention, he could only take advantage of the field missions of the Hebo Office.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for nearly a year, Liang Qu never found an opportunity!
Huaiyin Prefecture has a total of thirteen counties.

Before it was renamed, Xueshi County was backed by Xueshi Mountain and made a lot of money.

In addition, it is close to Huaiyin Prefecture, so even if the Blood Stone Mountain dries up and is renamed Xiangyi County, the foundation is still there.

His martial arts strength, not counting the strength of Huaiyin Prefecture itself, can still be ranked among the top three among the thirteen counties, with the ambition of securing second place and hoping for first place.

The gap between strong counties and weak counties is sometimes bigger than that between people and dogs!

Due to the advantage enrichment effect, the number of Wolf Smoke Martial Artists in Xueshi County is more than twice that of Huazhu County, which has not suffered the disaster of the Ghost Mother Sect, and the number is as high as double digits!

With strong strength, is there anything that cannot be solved by oneself?

Do you want Hebo to intervene and take away your prestige and power?
Similarly, anything that can stump Xueshi County is not an ordinary matter.

Li Shoufu came this time, not because there were powerful people in Xiangyi County who were bullying the people, but for one reason.

A giant snake monster has appeared in the waters near the former Xueshi County, now Xiangyi County!

The giant snake demon just happened to pass by. It specifically asked the Zhang and Li families to hand over the offspring it had captured!

Everything is exactly as the Dragon Man said after the New Year!

It’s just that what Li Shoufu has in his hands is more detailed.

In comparison with Liang Qu, his heart was like a mirror.

It turned out that in January before the New Year, in the dead of winter, a snake monster had already appeared in the waters near Xiangyi County, crashing into the Zhang family fish pond and two large ships.

When the Zhang family heard the news, they sent out two wolf smoke masters without any further ado to kill the snake monster.

Unexpectedly, they failed underwater and the first ambush failed, allowing the snake monster to escape with injuries.

I thought the matter was over, but a few days later, the basilisk found help from another more powerful basilisk.

Two snakes join forces for revenge!

Underwater is not the martial artist’s home turf.

The Zhang family was defeated, but they were unwilling to accept defeat. They promised great profits and set up a trap with the Li family in the county to deal with them. In the end, one of them died and another was injured.

Kill one, catch one.

On the third day, when the captured basilisk was being tortured, the snake demon arrived.

It's really like one small thing leads to another, and it keeps going on and on.

Compared with the two smaller ones, the snake demon was quite smart and did not act rashly to retaliate. It only asked the Zhang family to hand over its surviving offspring.

Just hand it over and we'll call it quits.

He didn't even care about the dead one, which showed that he was quite restrained.

However, things often develop in unexpected ways.

The Zhang family’s choice is not to hand it over!

Not only did he refuse to hand it over, he also killed the snake demon's last offspring on the spot!

The snake's head rolled into the swamp, oozing red blood.

The head of the Zhang family made a bold statement.

In the Dashun territory, is it your turn as a snake demon to boss people around?
If you dare, come ashore!

This is the end.

The snake demon was furious and completely entrenched itself near the coast of Xiangyi County.

Neither merchant vessels nor fishing boats are allowed to leave.

The Zhang family was not afraid at all.

Even if you can't win, you can't lose your momentum.

Not to mention merchant ships, most of the water-based businesses belong to the Zhang family.

All the people's fishing boats were towed ashore and "bought out" at the price of ten cents a day, and they were paid for each day they spent.

In short, an attitude.

Consumption!
Let’s see who can outlast whom!

Until today...

Liang Qu calculated carefully.

The incident happened in January, and there were twists and turns for half a month, and the confrontation began during the Spring Festival.

In other words, the conflict between the Zhang family and the snake demon has lasted for almost three months from the beginning of the year to today... Liang Qu knew that the people of Xiangyi County were tough.

Xiangyi County was built on the Bloodstone Mountain, but now it is dry.

When resources are limited and becoming less and less, a general situation of competition for resources will naturally arise.

Armed fight.

Fight in groups!

Especially in areas with abundant water systems, the clan atmosphere is relatively strong and the local organization is very strong.

I never expected him to be so fierce!

It took an entire winter and such a huge price to fight the snake demon that dared not come ashore.

In fact, when Li Shoufu saw the briefing, he was just as surprised as Liang Qu.

All I can say is that every place has its own customs.

"The Zhang family has such a tough attitude, why did they come to Hebo to ask for help today?"

"It's not the Zhang family who's asking for help. It's the Xiangyi County magistrate, Liu Shiqin!" Li Shoufu bowed and explained.

Liang Qu closed the book and said, "That's even more strange. The magistrate of Xiangyi County should have known about this a long time ago, right? Why didn't he come earlier or later..."

Li Shoufu pointed to the jujube tree in the yard.

Green buds sway on the slanting branches of the jujube tree.

"Master Liang, spring is here.

The money the Zhang family gives to fishermen has not increased by a penny.”

Liang Qu used to be a fisherman, so after a little thought, he understood.

In winter, the catch of fish is pitifully small and the fishermen cannot go out fishing. The Zhang family buys out the fish for ten copper coins a day per boat. It’s not that they make a lot of money, but at least they get it for free and can get it by lying at home.

But it’s spring!

The fish catch is getting better and better.

The daily salary for shipping a ship is definitely more than ten copper coins, but the Zhang family refused to raise the price, and people's resentment gradually increased.

The Zhang family probably felt bad too.

County Magistrate Liu Shiqin was worried that something serious would happen if the stalemate continued.

"The magistrate of Xiangyi County is a man who knows what's going on?"

Li Shoufu smiled and said, "At the end of last year, County Magistrate Liu had good performance. He should continue to maintain this performance this year. If he manages things properly, he will have hope of promotion. He certainly does not want any chaos to occur under his rule."

Liang Qu nodded: "What did the institute say?"

"No resolution has been reached yet. The adults all feel that this is a difficult problem to resolve."

"What about Huaiyin Prefecture? Xiangyi County and Huaiyin Prefecture are very close, right?"

"Well, Huaiyin Prefecture said that matters in the water should be handled by the river and lake authorities, and they don't have the spare power..."

"understood."

It is now April, and summer farming is less than two months away.

In other words, Huaiyin Prefecture is more likely to be Huaiyin County, which is a matter of about two months. It would be a waste of time to deal with a water monster.

What's more, the snake demon is quite cunning.

Underwater is a dispute.

Going ashore is an invasion.

If there is an invasion, then there will be something to say.

Now the snake demon is lurking in the water, proving that it knows who is the king.

Underwater combat and land combat are completely different things.

The snake demon is a demon, and its strength is equivalent to that of a tiger hunting master, not to mention that it has an enhanced ability in an underwater environment.

The hatred has reached such a degree that it is a fight to the death. We must not let the other party escape. If we fail to kill him, the snake demon will retaliate wildly, which will be worse than anything else!
This will increase the difficulty again.

In order to completely lock down the underwater position and prevent the snake monster from escaping, at least three great martial artists of the same level are needed.

Therefore, Huaiyin Prefecture has only one attitude: It’s none of my business!
As for the rivers and lakes.

On the surface, there are enough great martial artists in the institute, but if we want Wei Lin and Xu Yuelong to cooperate on matters other than the Ghost Mother Sect, it is better to hope that the snake demon will retreat on its own.

The snake demon did not come ashore and did not cause any major disaster, but instead brought the entire incident to a stalemate.

A mine that will explode if you move it will be fine if you don't move.

"What a coincidence."

Liang Qu handed over the album.

"Please ask Li Zhubu to go and tell me that Liang may be able to give it a try!"
