Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 23 Water Eye Snake Pond
The sun is shining brightly in the sky and waves of heat are sweeping in.

The cattails and reeds were dried up, and a gust of wind blew, and pieces of broken leaves fell.

The mulberry leaves curled up into a ball, hitting each other in the heat wave, weakly accompanying the autumn cicada's solo.

Liu Qing raised his head with great effort, spat out blood from birds and beasts, and smeared it on Hong Gu's body again.

The blood that was originally smeared has long since turned into a blood shackle.

Hong Gu's confused mind regained consciousness. She opened her eyes and looked at Liu Qing in a daze, with tenderness and infatuation in her eyes.

Suddenly, the tenderness in her eyes disappeared, her infatuation was gone, and her eyes suddenly became cold and resolute!
She used up the last bit of her strength, spurted out a stream of strange blood, and knocked Liu Qing away.

"Go, go!"

"The farther away the better. Hong Gu hates you and doesn't want to see you again!"

"Go! If you don't leave, I will die in front of you!"

Liu Qing fell to the bottom of the scalding pool.

But my heart was cold.

He looked at Hong Gu's crazy appearance, and just as he spit out the snake core, he retracted it again.

He was stunned for a long while, turned his head, and with difficulty twisted his body, crawled towards the distance.

Beneath him was a blood-red snake path.

Hong Gu's dull pupils tried hard to open wide, wanting to engrave Liu Qing's figure firmly in her heart.

The last part of the snake's tail disappeared from sight.

She opened her mouth and quickly closed it. Her eyes were filled with infatuation and reluctance as she looked in the direction where Liu Qing disappeared.

"Xiaoqing, don't go. Let's go."

A line of blood and tears slid down the gills of the red snapper, dripped onto the ground, and quickly evaporated.

Hong Gu smiled.

She swung her tail violently, jumped out of the blood shackles and the cracked soil, exposing her entire body to the sunlight.

[Today's Intelligence: Level Gold. The large bluestone you were living on was buried in the soil next to the mulberry tree when the earth dragon turned over. Under the large bluestone, a newly formed water hole is eager to burst forth.]

When Hong Gu whipped Liu Qing with her tail, today's information was refreshed.

Liu Qing didn't bother to explain to Hong Gu. He climbed out of the bottom of the pond as quickly as possible and came to the mulberry tree.

The mulberry tree had been half-burned by the sun, and the soil underneath it had cracks all over it.

Liu Qing crawled in along the crack.

Sure enough, I saw that hint of green.

The earth turned over, and the sea changed dramatically. The large bluestone that was originally in the shallow water of the pond was not only bounced to the shore, but also buried in the soil.

According to intelligence, a new water hole has formed under the large bluestone and is blocked by the large bluestone.

As long as he moved the large bluestone, water would gush out of the water hole.

Liu Qing tried to use his mouth bag talent to swallow the big bluestone, but the bluestone was too big and exceeded the space limit of the mouth bag and could not be swallowed.

Liu Qing tried to hit the large bluestone with his tail whip to move it away, but unfortunately the bluestone was too heavy and there was mud all around it, so it could not be moved horizontally.

Then, there is only one last way left, which is to smash the big bluestone!

Liu Qing looked back towards the pond and seemed to feel Hong Gu's life slipping away bit by bit.

Time does not allow Liu Qing to delay any longer.

He climbed to the top of the big bluestone, raised his snake tail, and whipped it down hard.

Boom!
The tail whip talent of the minor success level left a deep dent on the top of the big bluestone.

But the recoil also caused Liu Qing's snake tail to ache, shattering its scales. But Liu Qing didn't care. With a look of determination in his eyes, he endured the severe pain and lashed the bluestone beneath him again and again.

The tail of the willow green snake had turned completely blood red, and the blood had stained the snake scales. Even though it had the gift of thick armor, the snake scales were almost all shattered under the continuous whipping and recoil.

However, Liu Qing ignored the severe pain and continued to beat the bluestone with all his might.

There was a bang.

Finally, a crack appeared in the middle of the bluestone, and a stream of crystal clear water splashed out.

The splashes of water became faster and faster, and the faster they were, the stronger their force became. With a huge boom, the large bluestone was broken into two pieces and was blown away by the splashes of water.

Liu Qing, who was lying limp on the large bluestone, also flew into the sky.

As a snake, he felt the feeling of flying for the first time.

Hmm, I feel a little dizzy.

Before Liu Qing fainted, he watched as more and more water gushed out from underground and rushed towards the pond.

He closed his eyes in relief.

It is said that before a person dies, the person he or she can't let go of the most is on his or her mind. I was clearly thinking about Xiaoqing, so why did I feel the water flowing through my body?
In a trance, Hong Gu moved her gills.

More and more water gushed out from the water hole under the mulberry tree, forming a fountain two or three meters high, pouring in all directions.

The water filled the cracks, flooded the dry ground, and poured into the low-lying ponds.

Gradually, the pond was filled up and the water was several feet deep. Looking down from above, it was deep and deep, like a deep pool.

The dry rhizomes of reeds and cattails slowly regain their toughness, and the broken roots of algae greedily absorb water.

More and more water continued to gush out of the water hole, the pond was slowly flooded, and the water level rose around the pond.

The rising water level passed over the roots of the dead locust tree, over the trunk of the fallen mulberry tree, and submerged the fallen rocks from the cliff on the north side.

An hour later,

The entire Ziwu Valley, an area of ​​several miles in radius, has become a vast ocean. Looking down from the nearby Qinling Mountains, it looks like a deep pool.

The sun was shining brightly, and water vapor was evaporating, forming a thick fog that covered the sky above Ziwu Valley.

The newly appeared deep pool attracted countless hungry snakes. They crawled out from under the wet tree roots and rocks and crawled into the pool.
They opened their mouths wide, trying to catch fish and shrimp in the water, but after trying for a long time, they found that they had no harvest at all.
They cursed and pooped, then curled up in anger, enduring the hunger.

The undigested fish eggs and shrimps in the snake feces were stimulated by the water vapor and slowly squirmed a few times, and their little heads poked out.

Suddenly, a few carps jumped out of the water in the thick fog, glided for a distance, splashed a few times, and dived back into the water.

They vented the excitement of being born from death to their heart's content.

They devoured the flesh and blood of the mountain monster hawk, gained intelligence, and at the moment the earth dragon turned over, they were swallowed by the cracks in the pond.
There is silt and a little sewage in the cracks, but they are buried in the soil by the closed cracks.

They huddled together in the darkness, waiting for death to come.

But just as they were waiting to die, they suddenly discovered that the soil that buried them became moist, forming soft mud.
They jumped out of the darkness with all their might, swam freely in the water, and felt the beauty of life.

They swam freely in the water, trying to express their good mood to other creatures, but after swimming for a long time, they found that the bottom of the water, which was noisy in the past, had become deserted.

There were only a few grass turtles that struggled to crawl out of the mud at the bottom of the pond, gulping down the oxygen in the water. The few loaches, eels, lobsters, crabs, clams and snails that had luckily not been sunburned to death were also blowing bubbles at the bottom of the water.

Fortunately, they met the kind red carp of the same species.

They swam up happily, making gurgling sounds, but the red carp of the same species whipped them away with its tail, leaving only red eyes.

He searched in the water again and again, his voice, which had long been hoarse, echoing in Ziwu Valley like a cuckoo crying blood.

"Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing, where are you?"
