If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 521: Training Through Battle
Xiao Yu said: "You are right. With your current strength and control over the 'Black Fish Dragon Army Formation', you cannot dive too deep into the rapids.

So when I first saw you, I immediately asked you to form an army formation and taught you the "Dragon Transformation Art" and the "Black Fish Dragon Formation".

Pushan is chasing us, but he won’t be able to reach us in an instant.

We had a period of adjustment before she actually found us.

Adapt to the new power and new formation, and then gradually go deeper into the rapids, and perhaps you can completely get rid of Pushan.

If we go up rashly and fight with Tuoshan Taibao and his men, it will cause too much noise and attract Pushan, which will delay this precious adaptation period."

Black King Kong thought for a moment and said, "I understand what you mean, godmother, but I think you have overlooked a very important point. Military formations cannot be trained, they can only be fought.

In the past in Fenghou Bay, we practiced the bachelor black fish formation day and night.

After practicing for more than a month, he could only barely form an array and piece together a "big black fish".

But when we were being hunted down by Tuoshan Taibao, in just ten days or so, we fought more than forty battles of varying sizes, and the 'Black Fish Formation' quickly went from 'beginner' to extremely proficient, even to the point of being superb, worthy of being called a 'grandmaster'.

Anyway, I feel like I have been reborn and my progress has been very rapid.”

Immediately, a group of demon grandchildren echoed, "Me too! During the months of being hunted, my demonic power has increased three times! I am an old demon with a hundred years of cultivation. The past few months are equivalent to the past few decades of hard training."

"In a few months, I have completely completed my transformation. Just like my adoptive father, I have refined my horizontal bones and completely become a 'demon'."

"I have already mastered two sword intents with my Quicksand Sword. My god, when I was in Howling Wind Bay, I would never have imagined that I could achieve such an accomplishment. If I go to the River God's Mansion now, I can even become a 'clam soldier'."

"What's the sword intent? I have comprehended a magic that can assist the Quicksand Sword in controlling the rapids."

Xiaoyu fell into deep thought and hesitation.

War is indeed the best way to gain experience and improve strength.

She didn't even need them to tell each other, she had already seen the fat grandson.

Didn’t Pang Tiegu’s strength increase greatly and he mastered the “innate magic” of shrinking his body?
A few months ago, when they were still in the Howling Bay, Black King Kong relied on Shinto talismans to barely defeat "Xia Jie Shi".

The eighty-eight adopted sons under his command were all ugly, low-level goblins with incomplete transformations.

Not worth much use.

Now there are only forty-nine demon grandchildren left, and at least half of them are qualified to compete for the position of "Jie Shi" in the River God's Mansion.

"The problem is, using fighting as training will cause too much loss! I originally had eighty-eight grandchildren, but now almost half of them are lost. If I meet Pushan later, I don't know what will happen." Xiao Yu sighed.

Black King Kong said: "Mother, you care about us, and we trust you. With you here, how can a mere Tuoshan Taibao hurt us?"

"Yes, grandma, you are the leader of the army. You can lead us to form the Black Fish Dragon Formation. We will definitely not suffer any casualties." The other demon grandchildren responded.

Xiaoyu was still a little hesitant.

Tuoshan Taibao and the others are nothing.

As long as she doesn't engage in a head-on confrontation with the opponent's "Black Turtle Army Formation", she can fight and retreat and defeat them by herself.

I’m afraid of attracting Pushan.

“You must understand that going up to clean up the Liusha River guards now is a huge gamble.

Is the experience gained from a few battles better than the danger of making too much noise and attracting Lai Pushan in advance?"

Black King Kong stammered, "Mom, you are wrong. The benefits are far more than just that little experience. There are even greater benefits."

"What's the benefit?" Xiaoyu asked curiously.

If there are really such great benefits, can she ignore it?

Black King Kong's voice was filled with cruelty and greed, and he said: "We can eat the four great protectors Tuoshan, Jushi, Duanshui, and Heisha, as well as hundreds of Jieshi and a thousand elite soldiers from the River God Palace.

They are all great tonics! After eating them, I can condense Yuandan and directly become a 'great demon'."

Xiao Yu narrowed her eyes and said, "Dahei, do you still remember what your mother taught you before?"

Black King Kong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Mom has many teachings. Which one are you talking about now?"

The fat grandson reminded in a low voice, "Foster father, grandma wants you to kill less and not harm others, and don't be a 'big demon', but be a good person!"

Black King Kong immediately said, "Mom, don't worry. We have a life-and-death feud with Tuoshan and Jushi, so we want revenge, not to harm good people."

At the end, he couldn't help but muttered, "Mom, you proudly said before that before leaving Yingxiang Mansion, you killed a lot of people, even the Crown Prince Li of Western Shu and the City God of Yingxiang Pass were killed. Crown Prince Li is the crown prince of a country!
We, the demons, dare not touch this kind of noble person who is protected by great fortune before his country's fortune declines.

If you dare to harm me, you will be punished by heaven.

Mother, you are so lucky. You killed both the "Supreme Nobles" of humanity and gods. "

——Now you still have the nerve to ask us to kill less, not harm others, and be good people who eat vegetarian food.

The water snake Xiaolu advised gently: "Grandma, as the saying goes, people should not lose their moral principles, and they should not lose their blood.

The old mountain-carrying turtle has killed dozens of our brothers and sisters, and this feud is irreconcilable. It is said that Western Buddhism advocates compassion, but now the Buddha has become angry and murderous, and is hunting you and us.

Even our ancestors who were known for their compassion are like this. Shouldn't we lower our standards?
Now is the critical moment of life and death. After a big meal, our demonic power will surge, and we will be better able to resist the next danger."

Xiao Yu sighed, "Killing people is different from eating people. I won't take you to seek revenge on Tuoshan and his men. It's not that I don't want revenge, but it will make too much noise and attract Pushan. It's not worth it.

Your own life is more important than the life of any enemy.

If you eat a big meal today, your demonic power will surge, your realm will soar, and you will always keep this matter in mind.

Think about it, why would Black Kong suggest eating Tuoshan, Jushi and others?
Because he had eaten it once in Howling Wind Bay last time, and it was delicious, he didn’t get punished, and he got addicted.”

"Mom, demons and humans are different. You won't suffer retribution for eating demons." said Black King Kong.

"There is no difference between humans and monsters! Eating humans and monsters, suffering retribution is only a secondary reason, the key point is to destroy one's own foundation." Xiao Yu said.

"Grandma, you still have two pieces of shrimp tail meat hidden in your sleeves!" shouted the fat grandson.

Xiaoyu wanted to slap him.

The fat grandson continued, "I know grandma is not a pedantic person. When I chewed the river monster's corpse before, grandma didn't grumble. What grandma cares about is killing people for the sake of eating them, not chewing a few bites after killing them.

He is teaching us now because he is worried that we might go astray, and it is entirely for our own good.

But now we are about to sink into the deep torrent. If we don’t prepare some food, dozens of us fairies will starve to death!”

Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "Since we are going to practice the formation, Black King Kong, you will be the 'dragon head' and I will be the dragon tail to prevent any accidents."

"Good!"

Black Kong shouted excitedly, "Kids, change formation~~"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the black fish dragon degenerated into a big black fish.

It's just that the head became a tail and the tail became a fish head.

The big black fish swam back and forth in the water and gradually grew deformed dragon claws.

The body is divided into several sections, some thick and some thin, and it looks like it has vitiligo. Large areas of skin are not covered with dragon scales, and the parts with dragon scales are mottled and very uneven.

It looks like a giant black fish with nuclear radiation imported from Japan in the previous life.

"Mom, what do you think of this big dragon of mine?" Black King Kong laughed.

Xiao Yu said: "It might scare the enemy to death."

"Haha, it's so powerful and domineering, maybe it can really scare a few river monsters to death!" Black King Kong said happily.

——I mean it's too ugly, too scary, and scares the enemy to death. It has nothing to do with being mighty and domineering.

Xiao Yu complained in his mind, quickly pointed out a few obvious mistakes, and used his true energy to guide him to reconstruct the military formation.

Soon, the "nuclear radiation" big black fish showed some of the "real dragon's aura".

At least the body is well-proportioned, no longer of uneven thickness, and the movements are awkward and slow.

He swam dozens of miles in the water, and his speed and flexibility improved.

Visible progress.

I can only say that Black King Kong is really lucky. The "Dragon Transformation Technique" is about the black fish transforming into a dragon, not any other fish. The most suitable person for this technique and formation is Black King Kong himself.

Even if other black fish practice this technique, they are not as good as the Black King Kong.

Yugan Niang is like a tailor, measuring his body, demonic powers, and talents with a ruler, and then making customized "clothes" for him.

Dogs can’t wear human clothes, but they don’t fit best when worn by other people.

About two quarters of an hour later, Xiao Yu said, "Okay, time is running out, let's go up and test the quality of the 'New Black Fish Dragon Formation'."

Originally, hunting down Black Kong was just the mission of Xiaoyu's "brother" - Tushan Taibao.

Among the ninety-nine guards under the command of the Black Turtle River God, Tuoshan is one of the few guards who has mastered the art of war and the art of formation.

He led the "Three Hundred Mountain-Traveling Soldiers" to fight against the "Bachelor Black Fish Formation" of Black King Kong.

At first, he could defeat Black Kong head-on, but he couldn't kill him.

Later, Black King Kong and his group of disciples grew rapidly in battle and were gradually able to cause damage to the "Mountain Tuo Army".

Especially after entering the abyss rapids, the 'Black Turtle Army Formation' was at a disadvantage.

The "Black Turtle Army Formation" is good at controlling strong winds and huge waves. Its advantage is that it is above the river and can adapt to all kinds of environments with strong winds and huge waves. When the wind is high and the waves are fierce, the enemy will be tossed around unsteadily on the river, but they are as steady as old turtles, moving quickly on the waves.

To put it bluntly, this military formation was created specifically for the Battle of Liusha River.

In terms of speed and flexibility, it is not as good as the "Black Fish Formation".

In a head-on confrontation, even if we defeat the Black Fish Formation, we will not be able to catch up and wipe them out completely.

So the Black Turtle River God sent three guards, dozens of River God Palace guards, and eight hundred river monsters to besiege Black King Kong.

They did trap Black Kong's gang.

"Tuoshan, we've wasted too much time just to get a black diamond." Giant Stone Guard said irritably, "This is a barren place with poor food and good sleep. It's really not a place for a river monster to stay."

"I don't want to waste time here. I can earn hundreds of gold a day by helping the wealthy merchants in Jiangzhou City and Tianmen Town transport goods on the Liusha River. Calculate how much silver I have lost in the past six months without any income.

But the black guy is hiding under the water and can't come out. If you have any good plan, I am willing to implement it immediately. "Tuoshan Taibao looked at his brother with some expectation in his eyes.

He really didn't want to waste any more time.

Giant Stone Guard said: "Let's go find Yu Fengxian. She promised that day that she would help us capture Black King Kong.

Even if she is lying, you can still ask her for the method to break the Black Fish Formation.

The Black Fish Formation she taught was too crude. Black King Kong made rapid progress, and the previous method was no longer applicable. "

Tuoshan Taibao shook his head repeatedly, "No, I will never go to see her again, unless she falls into the river one day. Even if she falls into the river and is no match for me, I cannot attack her.

Although it was not my wish to become sworn sisters that day, now that things have come to this, I cannot harm my "adopted sister". Oh, how embarrassing, thinking that I, Tuoshan Taibao, have been feared by the Liusha River for hundreds of years, and now I have recognized a teenage girl as my "big sister".

The turtle who was carrying the mountain blushed, "Don't mention the matter of meeting Yu Fengxian again."

"Taibao, there's trouble!" A giant shrimp swam over quickly and shouted at the two "sons of turtles" in panic, "Black King Kong is trying to break out. He has already rushed into the defense zone of the 'Yichou' and is killing people indiscriminately."

"Haha, we can't stand it, and Black King Kong can't afford it even more!"

When Tuoshan Taibao heard this, he was not angry but happy.

He pulled himself together, raised his arms and shouted, "Boys, form a black tortoise formation, follow me to kill the Black King Kong!"

As skilled and quick as Black King Kong in forming the "Black Fish Formation".

In a breath, a black turtle that was three stories tall and whose territory was as big as a football field appeared in the rapids and quickly moved towards the "Yichou" defense zone.
