Chapter 100 Dragon Tendons and Tiger Bones The huge body of the armored beast surfaced. Liang Qu first set up the iron net, took out a fire starter, lit the charcoal and stuffed it into the bottom of the net. He blew slowly and deeply, and sparks flew. This time, let’s change the taste and eat charcoal grilled instead of boiled. It's always boiled in water and everything tastes bland. Liang Qu pulled out the blue wolf, but was not in a hurry to cut the prey into pieces. Instead, he looked at it carefully. After a moment, Liang Qu finally understood why he had always had the sense of déjà vu of having seen the armored beast somewhere. This guy looks a bit like a Pachyonyx whose limbs degenerated into fins! When he was a child, Liang Qu often watched dinosaur-themed movies. The herbivorous background animals that fled in large numbers when they encountered danger were this guy! The only difference is that the armored beast has no limbs, which have been completely transformed into fish fins. It also seems to have become a carnivorous creature with a mouth full of sharp teeth. Liang Qu inserted his finger into the blue wolf along the carapace of the armored beast, and cut open the huge back along the gap like cutting a turtle shell. He inserted his fingers into it and lifted it up with force. The tendons, veins and blood vessels were so stubbornly stuck to the carapace that Liang Qu cut them all off with a dagger. He then peeled off the entire carapace and threw it on the boat. The scarlet flesh and blood of the armored beast were exposed to the air, and one could even see some of its muscles still throbbing.
Very "fresh". Ah Fei and Ah Bu drooled when they smelled the food, but they couldn't move. There was no room for such a big thing on the boat, so the two of them had to act as a makeshift table. This guy's meat yield is a bit low. Liang Qu took a glance. The internal structure of the armored beast is very simple. Most of this guy's weight is on the carapace on his body. The bones inside are also large and thick, and the flesh rate does not exceed 50%. After removing the internal organs, he can only eat about 30% to 40% of the food. Fortunately, it is big enough to evolve into a Ze Ling. Liang Qu was very skilled. He cut the meat of the armored beast bit by bit, some thickly sliced, some thinly sliced, and all spread it on the iron net to roast and eat. Fist took the opportunity to grab a few pieces of offal and devoured them on the bow. The Tianshui centipede Awei drilled into the armored beast's body, sucking blood in big gulps, with its abdomen rising and falling. The Tianshui centipede is the most peculiar of the four beasts. Although it is the smallest in size, it can drink several liters of blood, which makes Liang Qu curious about where all the blood goes. The smell in the air became stronger and stronger. Ah Fei and Ah Bu became even more greedy. With a head full of meat, they couldn't eat any of it and their saliva kept flowing into the river. Liang Qu took out a small cloth bag and opened it. Inside was white fine salt, which he took from the kitchen of Yang Mansion. Compared with the coarse salt bought by ordinary people, the bitterness is very light and you can't taste it unless you taste it carefully. It is a pure salty and fresh taste. Real good stuff. He picked up a pinch and sprinkled it on the thinly sliced meat. As soon as the meat changed color slightly, he picked it up and put it in his mouth. The taste is ok! The light salty taste mixed with the unique taste of the meat itself gives you a feeling of eating a mixture of lamb and chicken at the same time, which is quite wonderful.
[Water Essence +] [Water Essence +] [Water Essence +] The meat slices are small, but they are full of juice. After eating for a quarter of an hour, Liang Qu's mouth was almost numb from being burned, and the food was already reaching his throat. Communicate with Ze Ding. There are still more than ten points of water essence left. Compared to the last time he ate crabs, Liang Qu's appetite increased greatly after breaking through the barrier, but even so, he didn't expect that eating once was not enough and he had to continue. Thinking about the last time I had bloating, my stomach started to feel uncomfortable. There is no other way, everything is for a better future! Liang Qushun took a deep breath, cut the entire section of the tail into several pieces, roasted them on the iron net, and stood on the stern to practice standing meditation. Seeing this, Quan came to the charcoal stove and imitated Liang Qu's method, using tongs to quickly turn the meat over so that it could be heated evenly. The energy of blood and flesh was constantly consumed and continuously invested in the body, turning into firewood, burning the fire of qi and blood more and more vigorously. Liang Qu now knows how to refine his flesh without forcing his blood and qi to lock up and circulate. Whenever qi and blood are generated in the body, they are integrated into the muscles and tendons under his guidance, turning into the best nectar and rapidly strengthening the body. The strength of Qi and blood continues to rise, and rich vitality flourishes. His chest was heaving and long streams of smoke were coming out of his nose. After just a moment, Liang Qu took off his shirt because of the heat. On the river in the middle of winter, his skin was red and hot, and he was steaming from his whole body, as if he had just finished a sauna. Every muscle was slowly wriggling, expanding and contracting, becoming more and more condensed, and the lines were becoming more and more perfect. After performing a full set of Monkey Fist and tempering the meat twice, the aroma of the tail meat on the stove was completely aroused. Regardless of the heat, Liang Qu picked up a thick piece of meat and took a bite. It is not as easy to chew as the thin slices, and there is a thick bone in the middle, like toffee, but it is still edible. [Water Essence +] [Water Essence +] When the last bit of the slightly burnt tail tip was stuffed into his mouth, Liang Qu's stomach felt so bloated that he could no longer move and leaned on the deck, gasping for breath. Communicate with Ze Ding. Liang Qu silently calculated in his mind that the water essence he had obtained was enough to fill the last gap. He used all of the water essence to improve the degree of fusion. Every few minutes, the number on the degree of fusion would jump and keep rising.
It will take some time for all the conversions to take place. "The rest is yours." Liang Qu waved his hand. He was not too worried about the harm caused by the remaining venom of Awei. Awei's poison needs to enter the blood to be effective, and the armored beast's blood has been basically drunk up. Even if it cannot move and has a wound on its mouth, the amount of venom that can be absorbed by eating raw meat is only very small. At most, I have diarrhea? Ah Bu, upon hearing this, Ah Fei no longer held the armored beast and sank into the water happily. Quanzhu and Ah Wei were not willing to be left behind and jumped into the water one after another. The four beasts were sharing the meat in the water. Only Ah Fei and Ah Bu could chew the thick bones of the armored beast. Although it was difficult, they did not find it troublesome at all. They chewed with relish and sucked the bone marrow. Half an hour later, the degree of fusion finally crossed the last threshold and reached 100%! Ze Ding is very bright. A shadow of a clever monkey emerged behind Liang Qu, with every strand of its hair fine and vivid, completely overlapping with his. Its entire body was shining brightly and as smooth as jade. Every pore is breathing freely and every cell is thriving. Thick water vapor rose from his body and dissipated like clouds and mist. The waves under the wupeng boat spread slowly to both sides without any wind. [Zeling Water Monkey (White) Fully Fusion] [Zeling promotion conditions: Get a bit of the river's favor and completely merge with the Zeling Water Monkey (white).] A hint of river favor? Liang Qu's eyes flashed, and then he realized that he had met all the promotion conditions by accident! After confirming once more that he was not mistaken, Liang Qu took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down, and sank into the Ze Ding with his mind focused. Ze Ling was promoted! Countless rays of light flew out from the cauldron, merged into the shadow of the monkey, turned into firewood, and fueled the fire. A line of ancient large characters slowly appeared in front of Liang Qu. [Marsh Marmoset: A natural species with great strength and extraordinary ferocity. It is loved by rivers. Fusion can yield dragon tendons and tiger bones.] [Dragon tendons and tiger bones: tendons as big as a dragon, bones as strong as a tiger, infinite energy, unlimited strength, can pull nine oxen backwards, unstoppable.] (End of this chapter)
