Chapter 170: Chapter 168: Flavorful_1

Owen Bertram was confused: What’s going on today? Everything seems so strange.

He released the Immortal Binding Rope, and Old Six instantly flew to the Muddy River, opened the Gourd’s mouth, and poured out the river water that had just been put in yesterday. Then he flew upstream, sucking up more river water and pouring it out again.

It felt kind of like... rinsing its mouth?

After a few times, Old Six finally sucked up clean water and formed a small lake inside itself before diving back in.

Owen vaguely understood something: "Tell me, what did you do?"

Little Loach justified itself: Eating, drinking, pooping, and peeing, what’s the problem?

It used to settle its business in the river because its "home" was too cramped. However, after yesterday’s upgrade to a more spacious dwelling and the addition of the small lake, it felt so comfortable that it had a little misjudgment and settled its business in its "home" instead.

Owen couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time, thinking it might be time to prepare some "cat litter" for Old Two.

When he discussed the matter with Old Two, Old Six also gently swayed and gave its opinion.

Little Loach conveyed Old Six’s thoughts to Elder Brother: It can be done, and the sand can be sold for money in the future.

Big money!

Owen thought about it: Old Two is extraordinary, and perhaps those sands can really be sold as "Gold Soil" or something.

He had the stone, so he had no use for it anyway.

Well, just leave it to Matthew to handle it.

Although it’s a smelly business, it’s really profitable. It’s all profit. Just think about the fact that a creature several dozen feetlong must produce a lot of excrement every day. It’s not a unicorn that only eats and never poops, right?

So, Elder Brother showed a loving aunt-like smile: My Old Two is truly a treasure all over!

He went to the Gourd Vine to water it and found the Old Six in his waist shivering for some reason.

Gourd Elder hastily formed a message with vine: Master, I’ll be ready for harvest tomorrow.

Owen smiled happily, praising repeatedly: "Good, good, good!"

Old One was also feeling awkward, as it was originally leading by a significant margin, but Old Six had caught up by launching a sneak attack!

After the irrigation, Owen went to the riverside and returned Little Loach - the one he’d let out. As Little Loach was about to swim freely, Elder Brother grabbed one of its whiskers and said, "Wait a minute."

Little Loach complained with a humming sound, turning its head back with rolling eyes: What do you want?

Owen stared at Old Two, having not noticed before that there was a bump on its head.

"Are you going to grow a horn?"

Little Loach, too, was in a daze, only knowing that something seemed to be growing out, but not knowing what it was exactly.

Owen scratched his head: "In the middle of the head, just one - did you grow it crookedly? The Dragon Race has two horns, why do you have just one horn?"

Little Loach’s face was full of confusion: I... how would I know?

It should be the benefit that Old Two received from eating that dark red boulder.

Owen curled his lips: "What’s the use? I think it’s not as useful as the Sword Pill or Fire Pill’s divine powers."

Using a single horn to bump into others in battle was obviously not as powerful or cool as the Sword Pill or Fire Pill, more like bullfighting.

Big Brother released its whisker, waved to let Old Two go.

Little Loach wasn’t in a hurry to hunt, having already figured out that eating ordinary demon beasts was only for satiation and wouldn’t help its improvement.

It needed to find more "valuable" food, such as high-level demon beasts or special treasure materials and spiritual medicines.

So, it swam along the river, fully expanding its perception, hoping to find more "delicacies" like the dark red boulder.

...

Early in the morning, Lexi from Sword Mountain left Jaafar County, just as Owen had expected. Instead of heading straight for Prince Henry’s territory, they first returned to Sword Mountain - to seize the sect’s property.

As they were all powerful individuals of the Third Great Boundary, their speed was extremely fast; the delay wouldn’t take too much time. However, their actions reflected their "vision," proving that they had no hope of reaching the Fifth Great Realm in this life.

From the Bamboo Hat Woman to Lexi of Sword Mountain, sending people into Prince Henry’s territory was a tactic to "startle the snake in the grass." After years of preparing for the rebellion, Prince Henry wouldn’t completely give up just because of their investigations. He must carry out some cover-up actions - and during the "cover-up" process, flaws would be exposed. It depended on whether the Mechanical Dao Soldiers could grasp these clues.

That’s why Owen’s headache was mainly because he didn’t have a real investigator.

As he was basking in the sun by the river, pondering whether he should dig someone out of the Horizon Bureau to help with the investigation, his heart suddenly moved. A trap he had set a long time ago now showed signs of activity.

Owen quickly called the Mechanical Dao Soldiers to guard his original body and then attached his soul to his brother’s body.

Little Loach suddenly turned around and swam quickly upstream.

In the river water, something had entered the cave where he had set up arrays and surveillance with the other half of the stone. Once it lost the first stone, it hadn’t been able to grow for a long time.

It darted around in the river, discovered this place a few days ago but became even more cautious and dared not approach.

After observing it for a few days, it finally decided it was safe today and crawled in.

In the dark depths of the cave, a faint shadow stretched out its body, drew a hard breath towards the half of the stone buried in the mud, and a wisp of blue Thunder Lights, like smoke, floated into its body.

After repeating this nine times, it comfortably landed on the mud and started to rest. Its body began to grow again.

But suddenly, around the cave, from top to bottom, faint golden lines lit up, forming a seamless net that trapped it inside.

It panicked. After several days of observation, it finally thought it had found a safe place. How could this net suddenly appear?

I’ll escape -

The net’s Array flashed, inhibiting the escape technique!

Why can’t I escape?!

Obviously, it knew nothing about the cunning of humans.

The net began to tighten, lifting it out of the cave. It noticed the vicious creature that had previously destroyed its nest and relentlessly pursued it was now charging at it, seemingly even larger than before.

Through Little Loach’s eyes, Owen finally saw the true appearance of this thing in the murky river: it was actually a strange aquatic plant, similar in appearance to a Baby-shaped ginseng, but the lower half was composed of numerous transparent tentacles like a jellyfish.

There was a coral branch growing on its head, which had a unique talisman-shaped fruit.

It even had eyes, a mouth, and two insect-like tentacles on its baby face!

At first glance, it looked somewhat cute, but when this adorable aquatic plant saw Little Loach, it looked furious like encountering an enemy. Its eyes instantly turned purplish-red, its mouth opened infinitely wide, and the jellyfish tentacles danced wildly like ghost hairs producing an indescribable sense of creepy evil!

Then, from the coral branch, an immense Thunder Light exploded, turning the entire river pale blue.
