Chapter 025 Golden Lotus Seed
"Oh no! The debt's been cleared up!"
Seeing the dogfish spirit die such a tragic death, the remaining yellowbone fish spirit was terrified and turned to flee.
"...Damn hot stuff!"
Having escaped the water ghost, the eel spirit lunged at Li Yue again, but was startled to see the yellow bone fish spirit fleeing in the face of battle. Then, he angrily cursed.
But this was not the time to be angry. He was alone and probably no match for Li Yue. He made a quick decision and fled.
"Where are you going!"
With a cold shout, Li Yue rushed towards him, raising his hand to unleash a lightning seal.
Crack!
The electric current exploded, instantly electrifying the eel spirit's body until it stiffened.
This delay allowed Li Yue to arrive at the scene and, without hesitation, raise the Zhilangding pier.
Having witnessed the power of the iron anchor, the eel spirit was immediately terrified and, without thinking, spat out a stream of ink at Li Yue.
Caught off guard, Li Yue was sprayed all over his head and face. Then, the ink dissolved in the water, and everything around him instantly turned black, making it impossible to see anything for a moment.
He waved the wave-stopping anchor haphazardly, and after a moment, the ink was washed away by the river water, and his vision returned.
But now, there's no trace of the eel spirit left.
"Eel essence?"
Li Yuefu, standing some distance away, couldn't help but frown.
It's definitely an eel spirit, not a cuttlefish spirit. If it's not a cuttlefish spirit, how can it spray ink?
It's not a skill you're born with, but rather something like a supernatural power or magic.
"never mind."
After thinking for a moment, Li Yue shook his head. He couldn't be sure of anything based on just one sip of ink.
I decided to stop thinking about it and dive straight down to the bottom of the river.
The dogfish spirit, which had been paralyzed by the lightning, recovered slightly and slowly crawled westward, already having crawled more than ten meters. The other black bass spirit, however, was still tightly bound.
Li Yue remained expressionless, raised the Zhilangding Rock, and smashed it twice, killing them all.
[Subdued the demon in Jingshui, fulfilling the divine duty of the Iron Anchor General, experience points +90!]
A notification sounded, awarding a full ninety experience points.
Li Yue nodded slightly. Sure enough, the experience points gained from subduing demons in Jingshui were not only related to the number of monsters killed, but also to their specific cultivation level.
Basically, one hundred years of cultivation will earn you 10 experience points.
The eight thousand aquatic creatures of the Tongtian River must have accumulated over a million years of cultivation. If converted into experience points, wouldn't that amount to over a hundred thousand?
As he calculated, Li Yue couldn't help but smile broadly.
You don't need that many; just half is enough to upgrade Iron Anchor General to level 10.
"It sounds pretty good."
Li Yue chuckled again. It was one thing to fantasize, but to slaughter more than half of the aquatic creatures in the Tongtian River? What a joke!
Without further thought, he ordered the water ghost to eat the three fish spirit corpses and left.
On the water, the merchant stood on the boat, watching the waves gradually subside, and suddenly came to his senses.
They've all left?
What will he do now that they're all gone!
He's all alone now, who will steer the boat?
"Damn it! That wretched carp spirit!"
Cursing all the way back to Gelang Reef, the eel spirit took a deep breath, composed himself, and went to see the snakehead king.
"Strategist! Having suffered such heavy losses, do you have anything to say?"
Surrounded by spirits, the Black Eel King sat arrogantly on a high place, looking at the Yellow Eel Spirit with a gloomy gaze.
The eel spirit glanced at the scene and returned first. The yellow-boned fish spirit, now standing beside the snakehead king, scoffed disdainfully. The yellow-boned fish spirit, having deserted the battle, would surely exaggerate the situation to shift all blame for the crushing defeat onto him.
"I do have something to say."
Facing the enraged snakehead king, the eel spirit remained calm and paused slightly before speaking again.
"But I would like to speak with Your Majesty privately."
"Um?"
Despite losing three Transformation Stage cultivators and suffering such a crushing defeat, instead of weeping and begging for mercy, she even wanted to have a private conversation with him.
The Black Snake King frowned slightly, then waved his hand, and the group of fish spirits and water monsters immediately dispersed.
"You can tell me now."
"Your Majesty, this crushing defeat was indeed due to my oversight. I never imagined that the carp spirit also possessed a golden lotus seed!"
"What did you say?!"
The once composed Black Snake King's expression changed drastically upon hearing the words "Golden Lotus Seed." He leaned forward slightly, his gaze growing increasingly sinister as he looked at the Yellow Eel Spirit.
"You know the importance of the golden lotus seed; you can't just say things like that carelessly."
"That carp spirit has clearly only recently taken human form, yet it possesses several magical treasures and can even use supernatural abilities like spouting water and controlling lightning. If it weren't for the Golden Lotus Seed, what else could it be?"
"In that case..."
After a moment's hesitation, the Black Snake King nodded.
He has a golden lotus seed inside him, and he knows all too well the wonders of it.
Having just taken human form, he was able to refine multiple treasures and possess supernatural powers and spells, which was different from his Golden Lotus Seed and the two of Shrimp King and Whale Devouring Commander.
Regardless of its function, the golden lotus seed is truly mysterious.
If he were to obtain this golden lotus seed, combining the power of two golden lotus seeds, he could defeat the Shrimp King and the Whale-Swallowing Commander. At that time, he could then seize their two golden lotus seeds, making a total of four.
With four golden lotus seeds, dominating the Tongtian River will be a piece of cake!
Once he dominates the Tongtian River, will he still have trouble finding the remaining three golden lotus seeds?
With all seven golden lotus seeds gathered, he wouldn't even put the gods in his eyes!
"We must obtain this golden lotus seed!"
"Your Majesty is absolutely right! However..."
The eel spirit nodded repeatedly, then looked troubled and sighed.
"That carp spirit possesses a golden lotus seed, and its skills are second only to Your Majesty. Although I tried my best, I was still unable to defeat it."
"Well, although we lost three fish spirits in the transformation stage this time, it's not your fault."
The snakehead king's expression softened, and he then offered encouragement.
"Your discovery of the Golden Lotus Seed is not only without fault, but also a meritorious deed!"
"I only owe my merit to Your Majesty's divine power, and dare not take credit for it."
"Haha, well said."
The Black Snake King laughed loudly, but suddenly his laughter stopped abruptly, and his expression became extremely serious.
"Strategist! I order you to capture and kill that carp demon. All the other spirits in the cave are at your disposal. You must seize this golden lotus seed!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The eel spirit bowed and accepted the order, a cold smile creeping onto its lowered lips.
After speaking with the Black Eel King, the Yellow Eel Spirit immediately withdrew, mobilized its troops, and prepared to capture Li Yue again.
"Huh? Didn't the King punish you?"
The yellow-boned fish spirit was astonished to see the eel spirit return unharmed.
"Yellow catfish spirit, heed my command!"
The eel spirit's face darkened, and he shouted directly.
"I order you to disguise yourself as a boatman again and infiltrate the human ship. Once you spot that carp spirit, signal me immediately!"
"You're just a mere Spirit Awakening stage cultivator, what makes you think you can..."
Before he could finish speaking, the eel spirit spat out an iron token, which was none other than the Black Snake King's military tally. Seeing this token was as if seeing the Black Snake King himself.
The eel spirit looked coldly at the yellow bone fish spirit and said indifferently.
"Is it okay now?"
"Yes, of course you can."
"Then hurry up and go!"
"Yes, yes, yes."
The yellow catfish spirit nodded vigorously and quickly retreated.
He couldn't help but wonder what method the eel spirit had used that made the king not only not punish him, but also give him the military tally.
"Carp spirit, humph."
The eel spirit stood still, watching the monsters swimming around it, its teeth grinding together.
