"This pair of horny palates is extremely hard, perfect for making daggers."
Huamu fiddled with the teeth of Heluoyu and nodded.
"Leave it to me. I'll make a pair of daggers for everyone. Well, the materials should be enough."
Li Qinglin's eyes moved when he heard this, and he said, "Third Senior Brother, can you make an arrow for me? For the arrowhead, please use horny palate, and for the arrowhead, please leave a groove for buckling."
Li Qinglin gave a rough description of what he was talking about.
“Arrow…”
Huamu hesitated for a moment and thought about it.
"Okay, I'll try."
Wen Shoufei looked at the huge fish corpse, thought for a moment, and said,
“If I’m right about this pair of compound eyes, they can improve eyesight and cure diseases. I can go back and ask Dr. Cai to analyze their pharmacology.
Since Li Qinglin had the merit of leading the way in this demon slaying, this pair of compound eyes will be regarded as Li Qinglin's extra gain. The rest of the tentacle meat will be temporarily transported back to the gym. There is too much of it, so it will be frozen first and then distributed.
However, the octopus cartilage cannot be used as medicine and can only be eaten raw, so let's share it equally among everyone.
It's a pity that there are no fish bones or scales, otherwise there would be at least a few hundred-forged weapons, or even a thousand-forged weapons, which is not impossible..."
Wen Shoufei felt a little regretful.
Faced with Wen Shoufei's assignment, everyone accepted it.
Moreover, when Li Qinglin heard that the compound eyes of this Heluo fish could improve eyesight and cure diseases, he was even more delighted.
"Don't spread the news about the dragon octopus cartilage, or even the big families in the inner city will be tempted to snatch it. These tentacles are harmless, so it doesn't matter if you give them to your family and friends."
Wen Shoufei said.
…
An hour later.
The mud dragon of car A started fast and then slowed down, and slowly stopped on the official road.
Several martial artists who had just returned from military service were leaning against the window, chatting casually.
From time to time, horse-drawn carriages passed slowly by the roadside.
As he was speaking, one of the martial artists suddenly became dazed, with his mouth open and his eyes staring straight at the path in the wilderness.
The other people were puzzled when they saw this and subconsciously looked to the side. Suddenly, they also froze in place like clay sculptures.
Then, a huge tentacle was seen winding and "wriggling" out from the mountains and forests.
The strong evil spirit frightened the horses so much that they neighed continuously and peed and shit all over the ground.
The martial artists in several carriages were enveloped in an oppressive pressure, as if they were facing some ferocious beast.
Then, everyone saw a tiny figure slowly emerging from under the tentacle, striding towards them with a ten-foot-long tentacle on its shoulder.
Strong enough to carry an elephant?
No, no, this is probably the power of a dragon and an elephant!
At least they are all masters in the Marrow Refining Realm!
What kind of monster is this big? Wait, is this the Nituo River? Hiss...
Everyone gasped and pushed their way to the window, staring intently at Li Qinglin and his group.
Someone recognized Wen Shoufei.
Immediately, the news that the master of the Qingxin Zhai, Wulao, and a group of disciples had killed a monster in the Nituo River spread like wildfire.
Without mentioning the discussions of the crowd, Pei Zhang informed the officer on the mud dragon of the armored carriage, and the formation started to work. With a buzzing sound, the rear compartment opened.
Everyone put He Luoyu's body into the carriages, and it took up four or five carriages before it was completely packed away.
Someone immediately brought ice to cool it down. Fortunately, the Heluo fish is a mollusk and does not have much blood in its body. Apart from the strong fishy smell, there is no other strange smell.
The martial artist in the car saw the monster's terrifying face up close and was frightened, but he couldn't stop looking at it with curiosity.
After a moment, Car A's mud dragon restarted, began to accelerate, and finally disappeared among the mountains.
In the carriage, Li Qinglin used the excuse of being tired, found a compartment and lived in it, falling into a light sleep.
…
The afterglow of the setting sun spreads out like brocade, and the clear river is as still as a mirror.
The Jade Yuan Chan swam all the way from the shallow water area, sank to the bottom of the river, and according to the direction, found the stone wall discovered at the bottom of the river a few days ago.
Then we followed the occasional stone walls and headed towards the depths of the lake.
Less than half an hour later, the Jade Yuan Chan dived into the waves and parted the waterway, revealing a large number of stone pillars and buildings, either exposed or buried in the mud at the bottom of the lake.
It is primitive and wild, with traces of knife-cutting and axe-cutting everywhere, but what is strange is that there is no moss or parasitic water animals lingering here.
There was dead silence, without a trace of life.
In the turbid green lake, several animal-shaped statues are lifelike, with a blue rhinoceros carrying a tripod, a yaksha patrolling the sea, and a pig-dragon looking over its shoulder...
It actually gave me the illusion of an underwater dragon palace.
As soon as the Jade Yuan Chan entered this place, he felt a faint blood pressure.
This is a monster whose status is completely superior to that of the Jade Yuan Toad. Even after countless tens of thousands of years, the remaining aura still makes the Jade Yuan Toad feel awe.
It searched here for a while, followed the traces left in the mud by the Heluo fish, and finally came to...
Before a skeleton.
It is shaped like a horse, with bony horns that are not big, only nine feet long. Its bones are white, but inside, there is a light that flickers like stars.
The pressure of blood came from this skeleton.
"Is this... a horse bit?"
Jade Yuanchan pondered for a moment and vaguely figured out the origin of the skeleton.
It is recorded in ancient texts that the horse bit is shaped like a horse's head with one horn in the shape of a dragon, and has a divine and brilliant appearance.
Ma Xian is a dragon species, born to be the god of the river, and can even pull a cart with the Dragon King.
Of course, Biyu Yuanchan guessed that the river god's story was related to the river god in Ma Xian's fate.
It’s a pity that during the Dajie period, there were still concepts of city gods, underworld gods, river gods and land gods.
The literati, warriors, and even those who practiced Taoism at that time would linger after their death and could be conferred titles of underworld gods by the imperial court.
In the wilderness and sea, there is also a Dragon King, who enfeoffs three thousand demon kings and river gods in the world.
The horse bit is one of them.
This horse bit might have died during the turbulent times when the Great Jie fell apart and the sacred artifact was lost.
The Jade Yuanchan looked at the corpse carried by the horse with flickering eyes.
Outside the shallows of the Nituo River, in the big lake, there are actually remains of a river god.
I don't know whether it was originally there or was washed away by the river water.
Could it be that in the deep waters of the Nituo River there really is a palace of the Dragon King, or even the corpse of a real dragon?
What is the origin of that calamity zone and the Red Wave Sea?
According to the map, that is a sea area thousands of miles away, not even bordering Dajiang.
Could it be that in the distant overseas islands, there are a large number of forces different from Da Jiang?
Are there even ancient species that have long been lost and extinct?
As the Jade Yuan Chan was thinking, he suddenly felt a strange sensation in the bag in his throat, as if something was pressing against him.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
It coughed, and a drop of ground fluid that was as bright as glass and emitting colorful light swirled quietly and floated in the water.
Then, at a speed that the Jade Yuan Toad could not react to, it made a whoosh sound and seemed to be pulled by something and merged into the body of the horse.
The white corpse suddenly emitted a golden light.
"this……"
The Jade Yuan Chan looked at the scene in front of him in astonishment, and saw that as the ground slurry merged into it, a trace of blood emerged from deep within the horse's corpse.
In the blink of an eye, the corpse became as dry and rotten as wood, and was shattered into powder by the impact of the water.
In front of the Jade Yuan Chan, a ball of blood and essence appeared that looked like a purple placenta, and was still wriggling in a small arc.
Among them, the shadow of a pony's bit was looming and floating towards the jade Yuanchan.
It conveys a sense of closeness and admiration.
Ma Xian's reincarnation?! Jade Yuanchan looked at the ball of blood and stepped forward gently...
Then he swallowed it in one gulp! His teeth were like files, sharp and powerful, tearing the placenta into pieces, and then swallowing it into his throat, stimulating his demonic power, activating his stomach, and speeding up digestion.
A miserable roar was heard faintly, followed by dead silence.
joke!
God knows if this is some immortal old ghost from tens of millions of years ago, trying to revive himself by borrowing a corpse.
Still close? Recognize the thief as your father?
Just go into my stomach and become the nourishment for my transformation!
The Jade Yuanchan ate the purple placenta without saying a word, then turned around and controlled the water to escape in the direction of the giant turtle carrying the stele.
The giant turtle carrying the stele is also an old ghost. Even if the horse bit causes trouble, the two old ghosts can still be ranked higher! Diverting trouble to others?
As a demon beast, the Jade Yuan Chan has no bottom line at all!
…
A giant deep-sea beast, a ten-foot-long tentacles, a water demon that has become a spirit...
Even if any of these pieces of information are taken out individually, they are enough to arouse people's idle talk after dinner.
When combined together at this time, it almost attracted the attention of the entire Wangfeng County people.
As soon as they got off the armored car and the mud dragon, Li Qinglin and a few others carried the Heluo fish through the streets and alleys. There were people squeezing and pushing each other on the road.
Even a centenarian who was lying in bed and unable to get up stood up, ran to the door with a cane and looked out.
The martial artist was even more frightened when he sensed the overwhelming aura of the monster.
This is no ordinary monster!
The gap between a little demon who has just transformed into a monster and a monster beast that has opened the door to immortality and is comparable to a Qi-cultivating immortal is as vast as the difference between heaven and earth!
"Wu Lao Qing Xin Zhai? This gym has a mediocre reputation, but the owner actually has such strength? Could it be that his spiritual cultivation is close to perfection and the path to immortality is in sight?!"
Seeing that there was even a riot on the street, the government immediately sent yamen runners to disperse the crowd and make way for Li Qinglin and others.
The third brother Hua Mu walked at the end, carrying a huge tentacle and circling the street several times. It was clear that the gym was right in front of him, but he did not go in.
When I meet someone, they are about to ask me.
He immediately said, "A single tentacle weighs 2,000 jin. I didn't weigh the whole thing, so it should be just over 10,000 jin. Huh? You asked me where I caught it? Nituo River! This water monster only eats bait and doesn't take the bait. I just pumped the water!"
As he spoke, he started discussing the techniques of setting nests and making bait with passers-by.
Li Qinglin shook his head repeatedly.
After a while, the Heluo fish was completely dismembered, and 1300 kilograms of meat were taken out. The meat yield was extremely high. After all, it had no bones, and the internal organs did not account for a large proportion of the weight. Even the internal organs could be used as medicine and to refine some poisons. It could be said that it was full of treasures.
Most of the fish meat was sent to the ice cellar for refrigeration. Li Qinglin and his four companions who participated in the demon-slaying mission each carried over 100 kilograms of fish meat home, and secretly divided the dragon octopus cartilage equally.
The remaining fish meat has other uses.
In addition, Li Qinglin took the pair of compound eyes and found Doctor Wei to explain his purpose.
Doctor Wei is an old man from Wulao Qingxinzhai. He has been practicing medicine for decades and is well versed in medical knowledge. He can be said to be able to bring people back to health with his miraculous hands.
When he saw the compound eyes of the Heluo fish, he simply took a small amount of mucous membrane tissue and identified the pharmacology. He then combined it with a small amount of herbs, made it into a powder, and stimulated the magical effects of the compound eyes.
"This medicine can only cure eye diseases. If taken by ordinary people, it will be highly poisonous. After your mother takes it, she needs to wash her eyes with clean water for a month, and she should be cured."
Doctor Wei handed the medicine to Li Qinglin.
Li Qinglin was overjoyed when he heard this and bowed deeply.
It only took half a day to slay the demon.
When Li Qinglin returned home, it was already dark and the night watchman struck the first round of gongs.
The lantern outside the door was on, as if lighting the way home for Li Qinglin.
He pushed open the door and saw Li Xian's room, with the fuel-saving lamp still on.
"Brother Lin is back?"
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Li Xian came out immediately.
It seems that no matter what time, no matter what position Li Qinglin is in.
This old lady would light a lantern for Li Qinglin at night, and she would be the one holding the lantern.
Looking at Li Xianshi, Li Qinglin smiled and patted the medicine bag in his hand, "Mom, I'm back."
