Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 2 Underwater River Treasures
The shallow water on the east side of the pond, the moss-covered bluestone?
Liu Qing glanced ahead and saw a large bluestone covered with moss not far away.
Half of the bluestone is underwater, and half is above the surface. Where the water surface meets the stone, there is a small hole as thick as a finger.

The situation did not allow Liu Qing to think too much. No matter whether it was true or false, he would fight to the death.

Liu Qing half-raised his body and moved to the right, causing Long Legs Crane's beak to stab to the right, then suddenly turned back to the left.
Then the snake's tail flexed and shot out the last bit of strength from its body, like an arrow shot from a bowstring.
With a whoosh, it shot towards the small hole.

The next moment, the scene in front of his eyes suddenly darkened, and Liu Qing felt that he had rushed into a space. At the same time, the long-legged crane's beak chiseled into the bluestone.

The long-legged crane let out a sharp cry in anger, stretched its neck, and tried to use its sharp beak to reach through the hollow of the bluestone and attack Liu Qing.

Unfortunately, the crane's beak was too short and could not reach Liu Qing, who was curled up and hiding in the innermost part of the cave.

The long-legged crane tried several more times and finally found that the hateful water snake had really escaped from its mouth.

It screamed angrily a few times, waited for a while, and then left in disappointment.

There was no other reason, it was just because the sky was getting dark and its companions were calling it to return to its nest. Otherwise, if it was too late, the ferocious caracal would treat it as food.

Thinking of the caracal, the long-legged crane couldn't help but tremble, took a few quick steps with its long legs, flapped its wings, and flew away from the pond.

At this point, Liu Qing slowly spit out the snake core, and his heart settled down.

It's such a sin to travel through time and space as a snake. One second I was swallowing tadpoles, and I was glad that I was at the top of the food chain in the pond.
The next second, facing the long-legged crane, it was easy to attack and defend, and it instantly fell to the bottom of the food chain and almost died.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the plug-in was awakened.

Liu Qing thought of the plug-in just now and wanted to summon it, but found that the line of words did not appear again. Instead, an illusory panel was summoned.

[Name: Liu Qing]

[Race: Water Snake]

[Bloodline Talent: Hidden State (Can be unlocked with Heaven and Earth Source Qi)]

[Heaven and Earth Source Qi: 0 points]

It was a very simple panel, from which Liu Qing only got one piece of information, that is, his water snake body actually had a hidden blood talent.
However, it needs the source of heaven and earth to unlock it, but there is no source of heaven and earth at the moment. This kind of contradiction is presented.
This made Liu Qing very depressed. It seemed that if he wanted to unlock his bloodline talent, quickly improve his strength, and survive in this fiercely competitive wild,

You also need to find the source of qi of heaven and earth.

But how can one obtain the source of Qi of heaven and earth? Liu Qing had no idea at all. But suddenly he thought of the daily information that flashed by during the day, and he began to feel a little excited.

It was completely dark.

Heavy footsteps could be heard from time to time by the pond. Perhaps it was a large nocturnal beast coming here to drink water.

In the pond, there is no threat from water birds, cranes and eagles that may come at any time during the day, and the fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs in the water become happy.

Several male carps with fleshy whiskers around their mouths surrounded a female carp with smooth and bright scales and a plump body, and lined up to bite her young.

The crabs and river shrimps in the mud and sand holes crawled out of the holes leisurely, nibbling on the lotus roots under the water, or stretching out their big claws to grab the fish eggs that the female carp had just thrown on the water plants, and feasting on them.

But suddenly a ferocious catfish jumped out from the side, stirring up mud and sand, and rolled up the dirt. It bit the crab in one bite, crushed the crab shell, and swallowed it into its mouth.

The tadpoles that had mistakenly identified a grass turtle during the day were now following a grass carp, swimming vigorously while wagging their tails.

After a chase and escape during the day, the food he had swallowed had long been digested. At this moment, Liu Qing looked through the bluestone hole and saw

Seeing this group of tadpoles swimming past him again, his instinctive desire for food made him jump out almost uncontrollably, swallowing two tadpoles in succession, and then he retracted into the bluestone with his round belly.

This space inside the bluestone is about the size of a washbasin and is irregularly round. It is a bit damp inside and covered with moss. It is dark but has plenty of air, making it a perfect habitat for snakes.

After Liu Qing retreated back into the bluestone space, he coiled up his body, sputtered out his snake core intermittently, and slowly closed his eyelids.

After falling asleep and waking up seven or eight times in one night, the sky finally brightened.

The sun was rising, steaming everything. Where the large bluestone was exposed on the water surface, the dampness quickly turned dry.

Liu Qing stuck his head out and looked around before crawling out of the bluestone space and climbing onto the back of the bluestone, letting the sunlight pour down on his body.

The sunlight quickly warmed his body, and the cold and damp blood became warm, flowing faster in his body. His originally stiff body also became flexible.

After about an hour, the sun became scorching hot, and the gray-black scales on Liu Qing's body were dried and curled.

Liu Qing dived into the water and happened to come across a group of tadpoles looking for their mother. He swallowed two of them and had a delicious meal.

The sun was warm and the breeze was refreshing. The lotus leaves all over the water rustled softly in the wind. Liu Qing spit out his snake core and prepared to go back to the bluestone space to take a nap.

But at this moment, there was a sudden croaking sound, and a toad the size of a fist spit out a tongue more than half a foot long and rolled back.

Liu Qing was startled and his sleepiness was awakened. He quickly flicked the snake's tail and got into the bluestone space.

When the snake grows big, it swallows the frog, and when the frog grows big, it eats the snake. Karma keeps repeating itself. I have eaten tadpoles for several meals in a row, and now maybe the tadpoles' mother has come to take revenge on me.

Liu Qing huddled in the bluestone space, looking outside with his vertical pupils, his heart pounding, and he was once again filled with a desire for power.

Before I knew it, several hours had passed. It was about twelve hours since I escaped from the long-legged crane yesterday.

[Today's Intelligence: Level White. To the south of the pond, there is a triangular lotus leaf. Hidden within the underwater mud is a lotus bud that has transformed into a low-grade river treasure, containing faint Heaven and Earth Source Qi.]

Liu Qing's vertical snake pupils suddenly widened in surprise.

The opportunity for daily intelligence has come. The low-grade river lotus root contains a weak source of heaven and earth energy?
I'm worried about not being able to find the source of energy from heaven and earth to unlock my bloodline talent and quickly improve my strength.

Liu Qing slowly spit out the snake core, suppressed his excitement, and first stuck his head out, looking around the exit, and saw that the toad outside was no longer there.
Just now, it twisted its body, pressed the water surface, and swam towards the south of the pond.

On the way, in order to avoid attracting other terrible enemies, Liu Qing held the duckweed on the water surface on his body, with his oval little head only slightly exposed above the water, and swam slowly towards the target.

Thanks to Liu Qing's caution, he swam all the way, avoiding the greedy catfish, ferocious black fish, and terrible lobster claws, and finally arrived at the lotus leaves on the south side of the pond safely.

After finding the triangular lotus leaf, Liu Qing took a deep breath and dived towards the bottom of the water along the stem of the triangular lotus leaf, head down and tail up.

After diving about ten feet deep, I reached the bottom of the water. The bottom of the water was covered with mud. Snails and clams were moving slowly in the mud, swallowing the humus in the mud.

Liu Qing flicked the snake's tail, and it rushed down with a whoosh, leaving a trail of bubbles and burying its head in the mud.

In a moment, it slapped the mud with its tail left and right, pulling its head out of the mud.

In the large upper and lower jaws, there was a lotus bud as thick as a little finger. The lotus bud was as crystal clear as jade and emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.
