Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 114: God's Way is my wish, but immortality is beyond my blood relationship
Since General Tiao transformed into a demon, he has fought against other demons by relying on his own strength, or by relying on his profound Taoism to crush his opponents with his Yin spirit.
None of the river monsters in Dayawan Lake had ever seen it display its bloodline talent.

I have always thought that it had no other talents except the space in its mouth bag. I never thought that today, when facing the danger of its relatives, it would display the talent that had been hidden until now.

As this talent came out, there were gusts of cold wind and surging waves, and countless water arrows and water knives shot at the little turtle dragon.

It suddenly appeared on General Tiao's body.

"What a blood-related talent! It can actually transfer harm, transferring the harm suffered by loved ones to oneself!"

The water ape leader clapped his hands in praise, his eyes filled with admiration. He put himself in his son's shoes and thought, if his son was in dire straits, would he use this talent?

General Tiao's body was covered with water arrows and water knives. Even though his body was strong, blood holes were left on it. The demon blood spurted out like a shower head during a bath.

In just a breath, General Tiao's breath quickly fell, and his body staggered and collapsed to the ground.

His chest heaved violently, his breathing became rapid, and the life in his eyes began to slowly dim.

Even though General Tuo had already reached the level of refining the spirit and returning to the void, he was still seriously injured and unable to recover after being attacked by more than 20 river monsters at the same time.

The gift of blood connection allows one to transfer harm, replacing loved ones with one's own body, leaving life to loved ones and death to oneself.

The Dou family's Douyu leader also sighed: "Old crocodile, why bother? You and I have the Daoist cultivation of refining the spirit and returning to the void. If we continue to practice for a few decades, we can return the Yin spirit to the Yang spirit and covet the immortality of the divine way. Why bother giving up your own path to immortality for a mere descendant?"

General Turtle glanced at the little turtle dragon that had escaped the disaster, and was very relieved. After hearing what the fighting fish leader said,
He shook his head slightly: "I wish for immortality, and I also wish for the well-being of my family. If the two are contradictory, I am willing to exchange immortality for the well-being of my family."

The leader of the Jin family's goldfish was puzzled: "If you lose your son, you can have another one. But if the path to immortality is lost, where can you find it?"

General Tiao's vitality began to fade. Although his voice was weak, he was very stubborn: "If I don't have family to share it with, even if I achieve the divine way and enjoy eternal life, what is the point?"

"You have been blinded by the path to immortality."

It seemed as if he was speaking to them, and also to the little troll dragon that was in a daze. The troll general's voice was already barely audible, but it was deafening:
"I don't regret it—"

The last bit of General Turtle's life force disappeared, and the several great demon leaders standing beside him looked at him with complicated eyes, silent and speechless.

The little troll dragon just woke up from his dream, howled, tears and blood rushed to his face, staggered to his feet, and rushed to the front of the troll general.

He knelt down, held his father's body in his arms, and hugged him tightly: "Dad!——"

The sound has been distorted, like a cuckoo dripping blood.

Scenes from the past flashed before my eyes quickly.

When I was just awakened, my father forced me to eat the flesh and blood of monsters. Whenever I took a break, he would beat me up until I was full.

When I was going through the three levels of transformation, my father followed me through each one, watching me anxiously. Although he didn't dare to interfere, he did his best to explain the tricks of each level to me in detail.

When he was refining Qi and transforming into a spirit, it was his father who, regardless of his dignity, begged the Lord of the Mansion to get him a river treasure, which allowed him to successfully break through.

Just the day before yesterday, my father did not hesitate to lower his status and compete with the new river monster for a few water jade river treasures promised by the master of the mansion.
After finally getting it, regardless of whether he was willing or not, it was forced upon him so that he could sharpen his skills before the battle and have a better chance of surviving the river sacrifice.

It is rude and will beat people if they don't obey. It is barbaric and will teach me fighting skills. It will use its fists and feet if I do something wrong. It is not good at talking and is as silent as a mountain. It often has a stern face. It seems that in its eyes, no matter how much progress I make, it is not worth smiling.

The little turtle even felt that he had never received any fatherly love since he was a child.

But today, its father, who was rude, brutal, stern-faced and never showed any smile or laughter, burst out with all the fatherly love as high as a mountain that had been suppressed for decades.
Then it died and came back to life.

But I would rather it remain rude and barbaric, looking at me with a stern face, than die!

The four short men, the duckweed demon, and the three water willow demons also staggered to their feet and knelt before General Turtle with tears in their eyes.
It is said that monsters are heartless, but it is just that they have not yet revealed their true feelings.

The four big demon leaders quietly retreated a little, leaving space for the little troll dragon. Faced with the children of General Turtle who had risked their lives for his, no matter how cruel they were, they could not bring themselves to kill him.

Forget it, forget it. We came here to steal the incense. We don’t have any life-and-death hatred with each other, so there is no need to destroy the other person’s lineage.

The four big monsters waved their hands and asked the river monsters under their command to return and guard the incense silver that was undergoing transformation.

Just as the four forces surrounded Xiang Huoyin, they unexpectedly heard hurried footsteps outside, the sound of water rushing, and a group of river monsters rushed in.

The water ape leader looked back and saw the river monsters from the Liupan River, Malian River, Hong River, and Hei River. The Ling family leader smiled and said, "You're a little late. The incense money now belongs to us. You should look elsewhere."

The words were relatively calm, and there was no intention to take precautions against them. Back then, on the surface of the Jing River, these four river monsters suddenly attacked the Five Lakes from behind.
They saw it and thought it was an ally.

Unexpectedly, the Lotus Demon, the leader of the Malian River, had a cold look in his eyes: "The river sacrifice is to grab incense, whoever has the fist and shit owns it. You say that these incense silvers are yours, but I don't agree!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and the river monsters behind him surrounded him with a loud noise.

The faces of the river monsters from the Yuan, Dou, Jin, and Ling families changed drastically in an instant. It turned out that the Four Rivers were not allies, but they had misunderstood.

He immediately made secret preparations and was on guard with all his strength, but he was filled with uncertainty. The Four Rivers did not form an alliance with the Seven Families of Jinghe, and they betrayed the Five Lakes. Could it be that they wanted his family?
What a joke! The Four Rivers have always been the weakest. In previous years, they always followed behind the Five Lakes and took advantage. This year, they are so arrogant. Could it be that their heads have been pinched by crabs?

Liu Qing dispersed the four water puppets and followed the direction to the flower garden. He saw that the mud on the riverbed still had traces of fish and crabs walking on it, and the turbidity of the river water had not yet dissipated.

Then I knew that river monsters gathered here, and I was afraid that they had found the place.

Still controlling the four water puppets to enter, after a while, the water ape puppet in front discovered a large group of river monsters.

Liu Qing had an idea and asked the three water puppets, Shuiyuan, Chang Sancai and Douyu, to go to the Jinghe Seven Families to rejoin the team. However, he was afraid that they were discovered to be fakes, so he only let them stand at the end of the river monster.

He left the original horned boa constrictor at the entrance of the garden, hiding and watching for any subsequent river monsters, while his original body meandered towards the little crocodile dragon and the others.

As soon as they approached, they saw the huge corpse of General Tiao revealing his true form.

Liu Qing's heart sank. No matter how fast he hurried, he was still a step too late. General Cao, the strongest general in the Dawan Lake Water Prefecture, had already died in battle.

General Gao, who was originally thought to be their backer, died in battle. Who can the wounded soldiers in Dayan Lake rely on next?
Liu Qing hesitated for a moment, then strode forward. Since the old backer is dead, from now on, I will be your backer.

The little crocodile saw Liu Qing approaching with tears in his eyes. He pulled the corners of his mouth and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Liu, I, I don't have a father anymore."
