It is understandable that river clams can become spirits, but it is beyond Lin Xiang's understanding that the silt at the bottom of the river can also become a spirit.
Who has ever seen a piece of mud possessing high intelligence?
It wanders in the Longxi River, knows how to ambush quietly and snatch the demon pills from the river clams. After snatching them, it runs to the shore to disguise and avoid being searched.
Lin Xiang really wanted to catch it and see what secrets it held.
After sensing the fight here, the river clams in the distance actually floated out of the river, opened their shells and suddenly shot two water arrows towards Lin Xiang!
The river clam that lost its demon pill has gone crazy. It doesn't care who the robber is. It just wants to kill the two enemies in front of it and take back what belongs to it.
The river clam is close to the foundation-building stage. As a water-attributed monster, it is good at water magic. This water arrow came fast and fast.
Lin Xiang's spiritual sense had been covering the vicinity the entire time. He was originally afraid that the mud monster would escape, but ended up sensing the indiscriminate attack of the river clams.
"This is more of a hindrance than a help!"
Lin Xiang turned the sword tip, and the Dahe sword technique directly blocked the water arrow.
However, the flames originally attached to the sword were extinguished a lot, and at the same time, the mud monster that was originally in danger was saved.
Just as Lin Xiang was about to launch a range attack, the mud monster suddenly condensed into a small ball and flew towards the clam.
After the "demon pill" was recovered, the river clam immediately opened its shell, swallowed the mud monster in and covered it up!
Lin Xiang was so surprised by this amazing move that he couldn't close his mouth.
Aren't these two enemies in a hostile relationship?
The mud monster actually dared to return to the clam's body, and the clam was so bold that it dared to swallow it directly.
Even if it has a strong outer shell, a fortress can be destroyed from within.
Now Lin Xiang suddenly became very curious.
Did the mud monster kill the clam, or did the clam grind the mud monster into a pearl?
The clam was glowing brightly all over and was floating up and down on the river surface, as if it was trying hard to digest something, but it was just having some indigestion.
Lin Xiang could see that both monsters were in red name status, with their names close together.
From the moment the clam attacked him, the yellow-named neutral state turned into the red-named hostile mode.
Lin Xiang let the Golden Spirit Sword Pill return to its original shape, spinning around his body. He leisurely flew beside the river with his arms folded, quietly observing this new generation of "clams fighting each other".
No matter who wins, I will be the ultimate winner.
The body of the river clam grew bigger and smaller, and the originally calm Longxi River began to become violent.
Suddenly, the clam shell opened, and the white and smooth body inside was made to stink by the mud monster.
The mud at the bottom of the river is fertile but smells bad, and the mud monster that has become a spirit naturally has this ability.
Is it more cost-effective to kill one monster or two monsters?
Lin Xiang’s answer is both!
The sword flashed like a shuttle, directly rolling the clam's body onto the beach.
Then Lin Xiang used the fire sword technique again to start roasting the clam shells.
Water controls fire, but if the fire is strong enough, it will be as ineffective as a drop in the bucket.
Previously, he had misjudged that the river clams would attack him. This time, Lin Xiang was well prepared and his spiritual power was quickly output.
The Golden Spirit Sword Ball began to cut the clam shell, rotating and attacking inside the clam shell like an electric drill.
Suddenly, two extremely weak divine thoughts came out from inside the clam shell.
One was a clear but faint "God, please spare my life...", and the other was a simple plea for mercy without any substantive words.
[The clam monster surrenders to you, do you accept? ]
[The mud monster surrenders to you, do you accept it? ]
After receiving prompts and confirmation from the game system, Lin Xiang dispersed the flames and chose to accept.
Obviously, there are special features on both this clam monster and the mud monster.
If you just kill them, it will be difficult to find the secrets you want from them. Moreover, this kind of clam monster is intelligent enough to even know the word "Shangxian" (superior immortal), which should be useful.
As for the mud monster, Lin Xiang had no idea what use it could be.
The earthworms I subdued earlier can also loosen the soil and replace oxen in a large area. What is the use of this mud monster?
As the saying goes, rotten mud cannot be used to support a wall. We can't let the mud monster be responsible for plastering the wall, right?
The Clam Monster was level 18, and the Mud Monster was level 17. After they were subdued, they provided Lin Xiang with 900 and 800 experience points respectively. Counting his previous experience points, he instantly reached level 11!
It’s so cool to defeat monsters above your level, and your experience points are doubled in every sense.
Lin Xiang said to the clam in front of him, "Let the mud monster out. Now you both belong to me."
The clam monster reluctantly opened its shell, and the mud monster immediately flew out, not wanting to stay a moment longer.
"Give the demon pill back to it." Lin Xiang commanded. After all, they would be colleagues in the future, so it would be better not to steal a colleague's things.
A pool of black mud began to wriggle, like a slug or slime.
A demon pill emerged from the mud pile. It no longer looked as shiny as it did when it absorbed the moonlight, and its overall power seemed to have dissipated a lot.
The clam monster didn't care about anything else. The joy of regaining what it had lost made it take back the demon pill immediately!
At this time, Lin Xiang was surprised to find that the level of the clam monster had dropped from lv.18 to lv.15. It seemed that the mud monster had gained a lot of benefits during the time it obtained the monster pill.
"Can you transmit telepathy?" Lin Xiang asked.
The clam monster's shell fluttered gently, and it replied in a voice transmission, "My lord, I was once a member of the River Dragon King's residence. Day and night, I watched the Dragon King and his sons and daughters practice, and I learned a lot."
From the four seas in the east, south, west and north to the rivers, lakes and even wells, there are dragons.
These dragon tribes control the water veins of the world. Not only are they powerful themselves, but they are also very popular in various places.
Which village doesn’t have a Dragon King Temple to pray for good weather and good harvests!
Lin Xiang really didn't expect that the origin of this clam monster was so extraordinary, and at the same time, he became more certain of the magic of Longxi River.
I originally thought that there would be a river god similar to myself in this river.
Now I find out that it is the River Dragon King!
No wonder it is called Longxi River, there really is a dragon there.
"Is the River Dragon King still around now?" Lin Xiang knew that gods had become extinct in the game background, so was this Dragon King considered a god?
The clam monster transmitted a message: "The Dragon King returned to the East China Sea a long time ago and dismissed the entire Dragon Palace. I was thrown out of the Dragon Palace at that time."
"What kind of monsters exist in the Dragon Palace of Longxi River?"
Lin Xiang must get to the bottom of this matter. He doesn't want to see monsters causing trouble in Longxi River.
"My Lord, besides the Dragon King, the Dragon Queen, two Dragon Daughters, and one Dragon Son, there were a total of six monsters: the Black Snake General, the Turtle Prime Minister, two Shrimp Soldiers, and two Crab Generals. I wasn't even counted at that time."
"I don't have enough men." Lin Xiang couldn't help but sigh.
The number of the Dragon King's family members is almost the same as his subordinates. No wonder he brought the intelligent clam monster into the River Dragon Palace. It seems that he wanted to train a seventh subordinate.
But he also knew his predicament.
The Dragon King of Longxi River has six subordinates after all, but I don’t have any now, only vests and players!
After figuring out the origin of the clam monster, Lin Xiang turned his head and looked at the mud monster over there in a state of chaos.
This monster is of a high level and has some intelligence, but it can only express the most basic emotions, such as closeness, fear, desire, anger, etc., and is completely incapable of normal communication.
Lin Xiang wanted to find out its origin but he could only get a questioning response.
The mud monster itself doesn't know how it came here.
"Well, you two can be considered to have known each other for a long time." Lin Xiang threw a low-grade heart-clearing pill that he had made to the two monsters.
The clam monster opened its shell and swallowed the pill, and the mud monster also swallowed the pill. They were both much happier, and their loyalty increased by 5 points respectively.
After giving them some benefits, he then asked, "Where did these monsters go after the Dragon King left?"
"General Black Snake took them to the small lake under Longxi River and became the king himself. I was too weak to be taken with me." The clam monster still felt a little resentful when he said this. It was really uncomfortable to be abandoned.
Lin Xiang knocked on its shell and said comfortingly, "Think about it, it's actually a good thing you didn't go. What if you were eaten by them?"
Aren’t intelligent little monsters the most delicious?
"Take me to the Dragon Palace in Longxi River. I hope I can find something useful there."
It is said that the dragon clan is the richest, so even with such a small Longxi River, they should not be too poor.
Who knew the clam monster replied: "When General Black Snake and Prime Minister Turtle discovered that the Dragon King would not return, they emptied the Dragon Palace."
"Empty it?"
Lin Xiang suddenly felt a pang of heartache. It was clearly not his thing, so why did he feel like he had missed out on billions?
"Then let's go and take a look, just in case we missed something."
Even if there is nothing, it can still be visited as a tourist attraction.
After all, you can’t go to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea for the time being, but you can visit the replica Dragon Palace in Longxi River.
This time the clam monster didn't refuse anymore. It flew into the river with a splash, expanded its body, and swam quickly in the water with its shell opening and closing.
Lin Xiang said to the mud monster: "Hurry up and keep up! Don't run around!"
The mud monster then swam to the bottom of the river and swam quickly in the dim riverbed.
Judging from the direction the clam monster is heading downstream, it seems that the water in the upper and middle reaches of Longxi River is too shallow to accommodate a dragon.
Soon, they came to a calm body of water.
The water here is about five meters deep, but the deepest part is ten meters. There are more fish and shrimps swimming around, and the spiritual energy at the bottom of the water is much richer than in other places.
Lin Xiang scanned with his spiritual sense, but could not find the location of the Dragon Palace at all.
Either the Dragon Palace is magical, or his spiritual sense is not strong enough to discover the hidden places.
The clam monster was like a treasure chest. It spit out an exquisitely shaped conch from its shell, and then used its spiritual power to activate the conch.
Silent ripples appeared under the water, and then a hidden formation appeared in Lin Xiang's eyes.
If the clam monster hadn't led the way, he really wouldn't have been able to find the Dragon Palace at the bottom of the river!
The conch gently slid across the formation, and the clam monster immediately drilled in. Lin Xiang was not afraid of the risks inside, and drilled in with the mud monster.
When they all went in, the fluctuating formation disappeared again, as if it had never existed.
"This formation is really strange. I wonder what level it is."
Such a thought flashed through Lin Xiang's mind.
The Dragon Palace before him was far from the luxurious East China Sea Dragon Palace he had imagined. It could even be said to be just an ordinary underwater cave, except that there was a crooked plaque with five traditional Chinese characters "Longxi River Dragon Palace" on it.
The entire cave was in a mess. The legs of tables, chairs and stools made of ordinary wood were scattered all over the floor. The exquisite screens were pushed over. The night pearls originally used for lighting on the top of the cave were pried away, leaving only a few holes.
Can there really be any gains?
