Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 88: Pufferfish Monster Defeats Rattlesnake, Female Mandarin Fish Teases the Four Short Rivers

Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships.

The performance of the great monsters in the various water palaces just now deeply illustrates this point.

There may be some who are really unbeatable, but many of them are concerned about their status or relationship with the lord of the mansion.

He just dealt with it casually for a few times and then raised his hands in surrender, which made Liu Qing feel bored, and also made the Lord of the Mansion and Madam Yu frown and feel dissatisfied.

Damn it, I choose those with strong combat power and high skills to go to Jinghe River with me, grab the first incense for the river sacrifice, and help me become a god at the age of one million.

I never thought that you fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs would dare to work without putting in any effort and fool me. You care about the ways of the world and are afraid of offending other big monsters, but aren't you afraid of offending me?
Perhaps sensing the mansion lord's dissatisfaction, Madam Yu whispered a few words into his ear. The mansion lord, Yuan Datou, hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"This mansion master recently obtained several high-grade river jades from the tribute of the Water Jade Pond as rewards for the top three places in this martial arts competition. I hope you will use your best skills to teach me a lesson!"

As soon as Palace Lord Yuan Datou said this, the eyes of the great monsters in the water palaces, who had been responding passively, lit up.

If there is no benefit, one naturally won't want to exert all one's strength. But if there is a benefit, one will definitely not miss it.

The garrisoned monsters who had dealt with the situation carelessly and given up on their own were now stamping their feet in frustration, but it was too late.

The knife fish monster, who had privately agreed with Liu Qing to admit defeat, had his eyes flickering when he heard the reward offered by the palace lord. Facing Liu Qing's stolen gaze, he looked ashamed and turned his head away.

Well, it looks like I'll have to do some more work later.

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn around the rattlesnake monster stationed at Xiangshuitan and the pufferfish monster stationed at Sanshilipuqu.

The rattlesnake demon's eyes flashed with apology, and it quickly approached with a whoosh, raised its tail high, and lashed out at the pufferfish demon.
The pufferfish monster shouted "Good timing!" and took a long breath. The next moment, its body suddenly grew several times larger, and dense spikes stood up on its pufferfish skin, which was as tough as cowhide.

The rattlesnake demon's whip was bounced back, and the pufferfish demon that followed rushed over like a balloon. The several-inch long spikes that exploded on its body easily pierced the rattlesnake demon's scales, leaving countless tiny wounds and blood oozing out.

Faced with the blood talent of the pufferfish monster, the rattlesnake monster no longer held back and immediately raised its short and thick snake tail.

There was a sudden jerk in the air, making an ear-shattering noise. The pufferfish monster that was rushing towards it was shocked by the loud noise of the "Xiang Shui" talent and retreated repeatedly, with blood oozing from its ears and nose.

As expected, money can move people's hearts. As soon as the owner of the mansion, Yuan Datou, offered a reward, the two monsters used their real skills and caused blood to flow.

The rattlesnake demon continued to stimulate its water-sounding talent. The deafening sound stirred up the surrounding lake water, creating huge waves, one after another, hitting the pufferfish demon.

The pufferfish demon retreated repeatedly, and was about to retreat to the edge of the ring. He knew that if he did not use his most powerful trick, he would be defeated by the rattlesnake demon.
Immediately, a ferocious flash appeared in its eyes, and the demonic energy in its body surged, pouring into the pufferfish skin on its body. In an instant,
Countless three to five-inch long pufferfish spines flew out from the pufferfish skin and turned into arrows, covering the rattlesnake monster like a dark cloud.

The rattlesnake demon's pupils immediately clenched, and it hissed shrilly, curling up its body into a snake mountain, burying its head under its belly.

For now, they could only defend their vital points with their snake scales. However, unlike Liu Qing's 'thick armor' talent, their snake scales would be pierced like a hedgehog by the pufferfish's spines. The situation suddenly turned dire. Steward Xie stamped his feet repeatedly, exclaiming, "No, no, no!" However, despite his advanced cultivation, he lacked any natural skills and could only watch helplessly as the rattlesnake demon was seriously injured or killed.

At this moment, the mansion master Yuan Datou shouted softly and a black dot shot out from his mouth. The black dot grew bigger in the wind and instantly became a tortoise shell three meters in diameter.
It is filled with demonic energy and has mysterious patterns flowing on it. It is the tortoise shell that the master of the mansion has been refining for hundreds of years.

The natal tortoise shell ejected by the Mansion Master Yuan Datou narrowly covered the rattlesnake monster, and countless three to five inch long pufferfish spikes,
As soon as it touched the tortoise shell, it was shattered by the evil spirit on it and fell to the ground.

Steward Xian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and gathered his mind: "In this battle, Sanshilipuqu is stationed there, and the Pufferfish Monster wins!——"

The rattlesnake demon let out a reluctant breath, feeling quite suffocated. He quickly wiped his mouth, took out his swim bladder filled with air, took a deep breath, and was glad that he had saved his life.

Then, it suddenly jumped up, pointed at the pufferfish monster and cursed: "You evil-hearted and vicious person, are you trying to kill me, Rattletail?"

"Fuck you! Yesterday you begged me to introduce you to a beautiful female snake from my tribe as your wife, but today you are trying to harm me, the matchmaker? Bah, don't even think about it!——"

The puffer fish monster's skin turned red after being scolded. He was about to explain that he was just angry, but unexpectedly he spat out a mouthful of monster blood and fell unconscious on his back.

The pufferfish monster's final attack used the spikes on its skin to transform into arrows. Although the attack was powerful, the backlash was extremely severe. Not only did it take a long time to grow the spikes again, but its internal organs were also damaged, requiring rest.

One of the two monsters was defeated and the other was seriously injured, so they were considered useless and could not participate in the Qingming River Festival in Jinghe River. The master of the palace saw that he had gone too far and promptly reminded them that in the next battle, they must not use life-and-death means again. At the same time, the tortoise shell of their life was not taken back and was kept on standby at all times on the scene.

The rattlesnake demon cursed while dragging the pufferfish demon's tail, preparing to send it to the side hall to rest.
Madam Yu waved her hand, wiped her mouth, and pulled out a piece of jade-colored lotus root, handing it over. "This jade lotus root is a low-grade river treasure. Although its grade is a bit low, it is an excellent product for healing. If you take it, you will be healed in three to five days. It should not delay the master's Qingming River Festival."

The rattlesnake demon thanked him profusely, took the elixir, and dragged the puffer demon away. "You bastard, you tried to kill me, but I saved you. Damn it, I really owe you!"

In the ninth match, the two sides were the Mandarin Fish Banshee stationed in Shuiyutan and the four short men in Siduan River.

Let’s not talk about the mandarin fish witch, let’s just talk about the four short men.

He was only two feet tall, just like a baby on earth, but he was wearing red iron armor, a pointed military cap on his head, deerskin boots on his feet, and a ring-handled straight knife on his waist. He had a handsome face, no beard under his chin, and his hands, feet, head and torso were all human-shaped. When he spoke, his voice was clear, what a white-faced general he was.

"Sister Mandarin Fish, are you ready?"

The mandarin fish banshee looked solemn and nodded slightly. Facing the four short men in the early stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, it had no choice but to be cautious.

"Short brother, please be gentle later. I am weak and cannot bear your strong whipping..."

The four short men's faces turned red, and with a clang, they drew out the seven-inch ring-handled straight swords from their waists, pounced into the air, and slashed at the mandarin fish banshee.
