Chapter 167 Four Birds

"No way, you got stuck in a bug again?"

When Xigou saw Fang Zhixing's posture, he knew that he wanted to take advantage of the loopholes again.

He couldn't help but complain: "Damn it, the system is not a bitch, how can there be so many loopholes for you to exploit."

Fang Zhixing rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily: "Go away and watch me operate."

He tied one end of the rope to the tree, then walked into the water along the rope, holding his breath, and dived all the way to the bottom of the river.

Soon, he touched the end of the rope.

The turtle-patterned stone was stuck in the mud and sand, and the rapids washed back and forth.

Fang Zhixing grabbed the turtle-patterned stone, floated to the surface, and returned to the shore.

The system panel then flashed with brilliance.

[1. Sink to the bottom of the river with fast-flowing water and salvage 100 pieces of 'turtle-patterned stones' (1/100)]

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

"Well, it's true."

The system only requires 100 turtle-patterned stones to be salvaged, but there is actually a lot of room for maneuver in terms of how to salvage them.

"Rough!"

Xigou was completely speechless, "This works, isn't the system too stupid?"

"You know shit!"

Fang Zhixing smiled, quickly retracted the rope, tied the mouth of the bag directly, and then threw a whole bag of turtle-patterned stones into the middle of the river.

Plop~

The water splashed high.

Fang Zhixing repeated the same trick, dived to the bottom of the water, and then salvaged the bag.

[1. Sink to the bottom of the river with fast-flowing water and salvage 100 "turtle-patterned stones" (completed)]

"Fuck..."

Xigou's eyes widened instantly, and he had nothing to say.

The system is really stupid!

"Haha, it's done!" Fang Zhixing was overjoyed.

There are only two conditions for reaching the maximum level of "River Flowing Water", and the most difficult condition 1 was solved just like that.

So easy!

[2. Hunting 1 Level 3 Alien Beast in the Water (Unfinished)]

"Let's go, let's go to the Agate Forbidden Zone now."

Fang Zhixing was impatient, quickly put on his clothes, and rode to the Level 3 Forbidden Zone.

About two hours later, he arrived at the Agate Forbidden Zone, and the journey was uneventful.

Next, everything went according to plan.

Fang Zhixing hired a guide first, and then entered the Forbidden Zone.

"There are only two types of alien beasts living in the water, one is the swamp beast, and the other is the aquatic beast, which may be in rivers or lakes."

The guide was also a veteran and was familiar with the Agate Forbidden Zone.

He introduced: "The Level 3 alien beasts in the swamp include 'Three-tailed White Tiger', 'Black Reef Gray Rhino', 'Mud Python', etc.

The Level 3 alien beasts in the lake often lurk at the bottom of the lake and rarely surface, making them difficult to hunt.

There are relatively more Level 3 alien beasts in the river, but the distribution range is also wide, so it is not easy to search."

Fang Zhixing considered again and again, and finally chose to hunt the Level 3 alien beasts in the river.

The reason is simple. The name of "River Flowing Water" obviously refers to something.

The guide then suggested that Fang Zhixing buy a small boat to bring into the restricted area.

Fang Zhixing did as he was told and bought a simple bamboo raft and a live pig.

The two of them and the dog went deeper and deeper, all the way to the "Black Mud and Sand River".

This river is very scary. Not only is the river water dirty and turbid, the mud and sand are rolling, and the turbid waves are surging, but the river water is also slightly toxic and corrosive.

People cannot drink the river water here, nor can they soak in the river water for a long time, otherwise the skin will be corroded and disintegrated.

The guide told a story: "Not long ago, a group of rebels attempted to assassinate the county magistrate. After being caught, the county magistrate ordered them to be put in a cage and thrown into the Black Mud and Sand River for seven days. When they were fished out, I saw with my own eyes that the skin of those rebels was corroded all over their bodies, and they were bloody and blurred. It was too miserable!"

Fang Zhixing did not change his face. He walked to the river, reached into the water, and washed his hands.

Soon, he felt a sharp itch in his hand, which made him want to scratch.

Fang Zhixing frowned and endured it for a while.

After a while, the itch subsided and disappeared.

Fang Zhixing looked at his hands. Except for a little redness, there was nothing unusual.

He asked: "There are a lot of level 3 monsters in this river, right?"

"A lot!"

The guide quickly responded: "The fish monsters in the Black Mud River are called 'bone fish'. When you see those guys, you will understand why they are called bone fish."

Fang Zhixing understood. He pondered for a moment, put the raft into the water, stepped on it, and then went downstream.

Xigou and the guide found a safe place to hide.

Fang Zhixing cut the pig's hind leg and let the blood flow into the river.

Soon, splash!

The dirty river surface suddenly broke open, and a fat and long shadow broke out of the water.

Fang Zhixing looked at it intently, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

It was a fish, but it only had a skeleton, no flesh and blood, and a mouth full of sharp teeth.

At first glance, it looked like a dead creature!

"Is this the bone fish?"

Fang Zhixing observed carefully, and the next second, the bone fish swam near the live pig and bit the pig's butt.

Swish~

A large piece of bloody meat was bitten off.

A magical scene happened. After the bone fish ate the pork, flesh and blood quickly grew on its body, and even a layer of fish scales was supported.

Fang Zhixing's eyes lit up, and he suddenly reached out, grabbed the bone fish, and held it in front of him.

The bone fish struggled violently, but in vain.

Fang Zhixing carefully studied the bone fish and found that the bone fish was a bit similar to the Trisolarans, and seemed to be able to survive dehydration.

Perhaps because of the toxicity and corrosiveness of the other party's water, the bone fish squeezed out all the water and compressed all other organs on the surface of the fish bones.

Only when they eat, the flesh and digestive organs on their bodies will emerge.

"It's so fucking amazing."

Fang Zhixing was amazed and pinched it hard.

Pang!

He broke the spine of the bone fish and hung it on the side of the bamboo raft.

The blood kept flowing, and the smell of blood spread with the flow.

Soon, several more bone fish pounced over. They were one to two meters in size and all were first-level beasts.

Fang Zhixing killed them one by one, and then hung them on the side of the bamboo raft as bait.

Plop~

Suddenly, a larger bone fish broke out of the water, with a body length of more than three meters.

This bone fish was covered with thorns and looked ferocious. It actually pounced directly at Fang Zhixing.

"Tsk!" Fang Zhixing was very disdainful. He clenched his fist and a light golden color appeared on his skin.

Golden Silkworm Tyrant Power!

A punch was thrown, hitting the fish head.

There was a loud bang, and the terrifying punch hit the bone fish all over.

In an instant, the skeleton of the bone fish shattered, and fell into the river in pieces.

The bamboo raft slid naturally downstream.

Time passed little by little...

Before he knew it, Fang Zhixing had killed hundreds of bone fish along the way, most of which were level one, and a few were level two.

It was getting dark.

Fang Zhixing gradually lost his patience and muttered: "It seems that I won't hunt level three bone fish today."

He sighed, paddled the bamboo raft to the shore, and threw the dead pig and the bone fish into the river.

Fang Zhixing picked up the bamboo raft and turned back, and soon found the thin dog and the guide.

They left the restricted area together.

On the way, the two and the dog were attacked by a pack of wolves.

Although Fang Zhixing killed many people and drove away the wolves.

But unfortunate things still happened.

The guide was bitten to death and dragged away.

Xigou was also unlucky. A wolf bit his hind thigh, tearing off a large piece of flesh, and blood and flesh were dripping.

"Ahhh~"

Xigou screamed in horror, "It's over, it's over, I only have one life left, I'm going to die now."

Fang Zhixing's mouth twitched slightly, picked up Xigou, followed the route he remembered, and walked out of the restricted area.

He immediately took Xigou to the clinic for treatment.

The doctor was not a veterinarian, but he did his best.

Xigou was wrapped in thick bandages and almost turned into a mummy.

The night passed quickly.

The next morning, Fang Zhixing went to the restricted area to hunt alone.

Xigou stayed in the inn to recover.

After all, he was a third-level alien beast, with very strong vitality, and it was not so easy to die.

The next day, Fang Zhixing still returned without success.

"Ouch..."

Xigou kept howling in pain and showed signs of fever.

Fang Zhixing untied the bandage and changed his dressing.

As a result, Xigou grimaced in pain, tears streaming down his face, crying for his parents.

"Fang Zhixing, be gentle."

"Oh, you might as well let me die. Maybe after I die, I can travel back to my hometown."

Xigou cried so hard that his nose was running, and he was in a mess, extremely miserable.

The third day, the fourth day!

Fang Zhixing still failed to hunt the third-level beast, and worked in vain for a day.

Xigou had a high fever and vomited everything he ate.

Until the fifth day!

Plop~

A huge bone fish with a body length of more than 20 meters suddenly jumped out of the water, setting off a huge wave.

The bamboo raft could not bear it, and was swept, swallowed, and destroyed by the turbid waves in an instant.

Fang Zhixing had to jump into the air, treading water again and again, rising again and again, and rising and falling on the open river surface.

"Snowflakes cover the top!"

"Lions are covered in red!"

He held the Tingfeng Knife tightly, swung it up, and chopped at the huge bone fish.

Dangdangdang~

The bones of the bone fish are extremely hard. When the heavy knife chopped it, sparks flew and the sound of collision was deafening.

Fang Zhixing looked extremely serious. He had a strength of 150,000 kilograms, but he couldn't take down the huge bone fish for a while.

"The bone fish sinks into the water from time to time, and I can't stay on the water. The timing and strength of the chop are far less than on land."

Fang Zhixing was anxious, worried that the bone fish might escape.

He tried to jump to the shore little by little to lure the huge bone fish to swim over.

However, this bone fish was too big and would stop within ten meters of the shore.

"If this goes on, I can't kill it at all."

Fang Zhixing took a deep breath, his expression was fierce, and he suddenly dived into the water, sank to the bottom of the river, and stood still.

Accumulate power!

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

The giant bone fish swam to the bottom of the river. It seemed to be able to see Fang Zhixing and pounced on him without hesitation.

Fang Zhixing held the Tingfeng Sword tightly in both hands, and his whole body was as tense as a giant bow.

The giant bone fish approached little by little, and in the next moment, Fang Zhixing suddenly swung the sword.

"Boom!!"

A waterfall suddenly rose above the river surface, reaching a height of thirty or forty meters, and its shape resembled a big sword.

In a short while, Fang Zhixing dragged the giant bone fish to the river bank.

At this time, the head of the giant bone fish was cut into two pieces from the middle.

Fang Zhixing looked down at the Tingfeng Sword, with great regret on his face.

The Tingfeng Sword collapsed again.

It was hard for this heavy sword. First, it was tortured by three hundred-year-old iron bamboos, and then it was destroyed by the solid bone fish.

The Tingfeng Knife was seriously damaged this time, and it could not be repaired by just sharpening it.

Regardless of Tingfeng Dao, Fang Zhixing raised his hand and pressed it on the giant bone fish.

"receive!"

In one thought, click, click, the whole body of the huge bone fish disintegrated and collapsed, as if it was crushed by a millstone.

In an instant, the giant bone fish turned into wisps of gray dust and floated into the air.

[Jiang Liushui·The conditions required for full level have been met. Do you want to upgrade? 】

Only then did the president breathe a sigh of relief and smile with satisfaction.

However, he did not improve immediately. He returned to the camp first and returned to Xigou.

"Oh, I'm really sick. Why did I have to sacrifice eight lives that night?" Xigou groaned, regretting his mistake.

Fang Zhixing sat next to him and calmed down.

"promote!"

In one thought, a huge amount of memories and insights from the cultivation river flowed into his mind, and then were quickly absorbed, digested, and completely integrated into one.

Fang Zhixing suddenly had a profound enlightenment and mastered all the secrets of Jiang Liushui's technique.

This defensive technique imitates the survival and evolution of tortoises in rivers, absorbing the hardness of tortoises and the characteristics of flowing water.

Fang Zhixing's whole body trembled, he puffed up his chest, and his muscles bulged violently.

His body expanded invisibly. First, a turtle shell-shaped pattern appeared on the skin on his chest, and then spread. Finally, turtle shell-shaped patterns were all over his body, covering every inch of his skin.

Every turtle pattern coincides perfectly with the muscle groups on his body.

This makes the outline of muscles on Fang Zhixing's body, at first glance, look as if they have been drawn with a black brush, making them indescribably solid and solid.

Fang Zhixing clenched his fists and felt the power surge throughout his body.

"One hundred and ten thousand kilograms of strength, great!"

Knowing the market situation, I couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

At this moment, he was finally promoted to the perfection of the Four Birds Realm without any trouble.

【River flowing water·Perfect】

[Explosive Skill: Turtle Skin (Lv3)]

[Turtle skin: Your body is as hard as a turtle shell and invulnerable (the nine orifices are still a shield)]

"Hey, I only awakened one explosive skill..."

Fang Zhixing blinked, feeling a little disappointed.

"Well, there may not be enough defensive explosive skills in the first place."

Fang Zhixing soon felt relieved.

Defense is different from the other three points after all.

There are a few explosive skills, but it doesn’t really matter.

As long as the body becomes hard and no one can hurt it, that's all.

"Hey, why doesn't the wound hurt anymore?!"

Suddenly, the thin dog stood up and shook his butt several times, shocked.

Fang Zhixing glanced at his system panel.

[Species: Dog]

[Talent: Dog Bond]

[Bloodline: Hyena (Level 3)]

[Bloodline explosive skill: Lao Poison Wolf Fang (Lv2, each time used, consumes 1 life)]

[Blood Burst Skill: Wolf Shadow Wind Claw (Lv2)]

[Blood Explosion Skill: Shuchi (Lv2)]

[Number of lives remaining: 10]

The thin dog has also been upgraded and has an extra life.

Moreover, his three bloodline explosive skills have all been upgraded to level two.

This means that the thin dog has officially grown into a second-level alien beast.

Fang Zhixing raised his hand and tore off the bandage on the thin dog.

The wound on the back thigh has disappeared and turned into hard dog hair, with no sign of injury at all.

"You have upgraded!"

The thin dog finally came to his senses and looked up at Fang Zhixing, his tail wagging non-stop.

He has never been so happy about Fang Zhixing's upgrade as he is now.

Fang Zhixing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I suffered a lot in order to rescue you as soon as possible."

The thin dog immediately stopped wagging its tail and shouted: "Tch, I have saved you several times before. We don't owe each other anything."

Fang Zhixing didn't say much. He knew Xigou's character very well, and Xigou definitely didn't want to owe him a favor.

So this time, Xigou will take the initiative to return the favor sooner or later.
