Chapter 160 Black Iron Bow Lightning struck and thunder rolled. The dark clouds were as heavy as lead; even violent storms could not dispel the thick smell of blood in the air. Liang Qu Dama Jindao was sitting on a wooden bench on the shore, with the tied-up Zheng Tianfu lying at his feet. He gazed at the surging waves of the Jianghuai Lake in the distance. Behind him, two members of the Whale Gang cautiously held up their straw raincoats to shield him from the rain. The remaining twenty or so gang members wore straw raincoats and used spades with trembling hands to salvage the bodies on the shore. "vomit!" One person vomited and felt dizzy, then fell into the water, completely frightened. A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood give rise to evil ghosts who are seeking revenge. Even seeing a water ghost would not be scary at the moment.
A slight cough mixed with the sound of rain. Liang Qu looked up and saw several gang members quickly retreating to show that they had no intention of hiding. A brave gang member stepped forward and clasped his fists. "Sir, there are still people alive!" "Oh?" It has to be said that warriors have strong vitality. Many of them have broken bones and tendons, but they are still alive after soaking in water for so long. "Bring it to me!" A warrior with both legs broken was dragged over. He became more and more conscious as he moved, and his eyes were filled with fear until he was brought in front of Liang Qu. It’s the person in front of you, it’s the person in front of you, he killed the gang leader! In great fear, the warrior was knocked unconscious by Liang Qu's slap before he could even open his mouth. "Tie them up and put them aside. Go check again and pump out the water to see if there are any alive. Bring them all here." The gang members looked at each other, not knowing who would do the work of pressing the water, who would do the work of moving the corpse, and who would do the work of recovering the corpse. Liang Qu didn't intend to explain further. Under the threat of death, the group of people quickly divided the work, and some of them pressed on the chest of the salvaged "corpse". There is cardiopulmonary resuscitation in Dashun, especially among the fishermen on the shore, many of whom know it, but they just call it "water pressure." Of course you can't take all the credit at the risk of your life, that would be chaos, you have to leave some people alive. This is also the reason why Liang Qu tried not to expose his ability to control water as much as possible and did not kill Zheng Tianfu. Including the first three martial artists who played the water monsters, except for one who was killed on the spot, Liang Qu did not kill the other two although they were seriously injured, but hid them in the nearby reeds. While he was thinking, his fist had already swung eight legs, carrying the two dying people from a distance.
The boat in the water was also dragged over by the fat catfish and became unable to move. The appearance of several ferocious water beasts made the gang members even more horrified. They moved faster and dared not delay any longer. The fist put the two men down and stretched out a huge pincer. Awei was lying on it, looking listless. Liang Qu reached out to take it, looked at Awei's wound, and cleaned the broken nail fragments. The eighth and ninth segments of its hard shell were completely broken, and the shells were inserted into the flesh, oozing red blood. The sword of Benma Jijing was very powerful. Even if Awei's scales were harder than black iron, he would still be injured. Fortunately, it was not a serious injury and it would heal after a period of rest. The broken hard shell would also grow back. Although Liu Jie was cut open and the poison was released immediately after being stung by Awei, and the poison was injected too quickly so it didn't have much practical effect, this doesn't mean that Awei didn't contribute. At least Liang Qu could feel that Liu Jie, who was fighting with him, had always been on guard against Awei in the dark, and this was his greatest contribution. Being able to distract the fighting martial artists and make them guard up is definitely a huge advantage. After treating Awei's wound, Liang Qu put the limp thing into his pocket. "One more person to block the rain for me!" The nearest gang member immediately ran over, took off his raincoat, held it up and stood in front of Liang Qu. Fist took a stack of albums, a brush and an inkstone from the boat. Grind the ink well. Liang Qu recorded everything he saw, heard, and did along the way. These were all merits, so the more detailed the record, the better. After everything was recorded, the gang members had salvaged all the odds and ends, and several core gang members who were dying stood by Liang Qu's feet. Finally it was time to take inventory. Liang Qu stood up and looked at the things that were salvaged one by one. Most of them were broken weapons, including swords, spears, swords, sticks, and a few large bows. In addition, there were pieces of wood, ceramics, silver, and utensils. Liang Qu regretted that he had used too much force and ruined all the good things. Most of the weapons are good-quality common weapons, except for the weapons of the three gang leaders, which are a bit particular, but they are only made of good materials. Just like Liu Jie's broken sword, it was a sword made of tempered black iron. Usually one piece of black iron can be made into a good knife. A hundred-refined black iron knife is made by melting and folding one hundred pieces of black iron, which is very valuable. There are no more than five people in the entire Fengbu County who can afford this kind of knife. It’s a pity that it’s not a spiritual soldier. When it collided with the Fu Bo that had absorbed the remnants of the dragon bone, a gap was created almost every time it touched.
Not to mention that the last blow broke the entire knife, even if it didn't break, it would still be a serrated knife. Liang Qu picked up the fragment and knocked it. The material was good, but it was a pity that it did not belong to him. Having official status has its pros and cons. The advantage is that resources are abundant from all sides, and he has a backer, so he can get anything for his merits without any obstacles. This is a great achievement that is set in stone, and the things gained in return include but are not limited to various rare treasures. If he were to change to a treasure plant with water attributes, Liang Qu conservatively estimated that the fusion degree of his marmoset would be the same as that of a small half of a pseudo-dragon tendon, and would increase by nearly one-tenth! Not to mention that natural treasures of this level are very precious, and are almost as valuable as dragon tendons that can change one's qualities, and most of them have additional permanent attribute bonuses! Ordinary people would never be treated like this. Furthermore, there is a hidden benefit to being an official, that is, apart from the Dashun court system, few people outside will come to provoke him, thus saving a lot of trouble. If he was just an ordinary warrior without an official position, and slaughtered the entire Whale Gang, he would not only not receive any reward, but would most likely be accused of treason. The county magistrate would not sit idly by and watch his purse being emptied by some peasants who appeared out of nowhere. If it were Liang Qu, he would just mention it and not help either side. Without him, it's not worth it. The only drawback is that as an official within the system, Liang Qu cannot directly seize all the property of the Whale Gang. Although part of the proceeds from the confiscation will go to the River and Lake Bureau, Liang Qu will also be able to obtain a part of it afterwards, but it must be handed over and registered first. Liang Qu didn't feel too bad about the destruction of the pleasure boat because it didn't belong to him anyway. If he used the proceeds to buy another boat, it would be a waste of time. "This bow is pretty good..." Liang Qu walked past the various weapons in disorder, raised his toes, kicked up a long bow with a string, and sank it in his hand. Someone immediately explained behind me. "Sir, this is the bow used by our former gang leader. It is made entirely of black iron. Although it is not 100 times tempered, it is at least 60 times tempered. I usually take good care of it and never string it." Liang Qu raised his eyebrows. Senior Brother Hu also uses a large bow, so he knows that in order to conserve the bow's force, the bow should be unstrung when not in use. "You don't normally wind up the strings, so you're winding them up now to deal with me?" No one dared to answer. Liang Qu observed the longbow with sparkling eyes. He has always been interested in archery. The monkey's arms are good at shooting. Putting aside his martial arts skills, just talking about his body proportions, he has standard ape arms and wasp waist, which gives him a great advantage in archery. Having ranged attacks and not having ranged attacks are two different things. Liang Qu just drew the bow and raised his hand to pull the string. He felt a surprising resistance from the bow arm. Even with his strong strength, he found it difficult to pull it completely open!
This is a bit scary! (End of this chapter)
