Xu Xing didn't comment on everyone's gains; he figured it out later when they returned to the villa area.
Now that there was no longer any threat around, Xu Xing refocused his attention on Xuanwu Lake.
Because of the large amount of zombie flesh and blood that flowed into the lake, the lake surface is not calm now. A large number of bubbles are condensing and bursting here, like boiling water.
At the boundary between Xuanwu Lake and the ground, there were even a few rather large turtles slowly trying to climb up.
Upon seeing Xu Xing and his group, he leaped into the lake with lightning speed.
During this time, Xu Xing seized an opportunity to pull out the harpoon that the giant zombie had previously lost.
With a single throw, it pierced through the foremost turtle, which was trying to escape, its hard shell holding it firmly to the ground.
Xu walked over, and only when he got closer could he truly see what the creature looked like.
It's clearly just a giant turtle, also known as a 'wangba' (a type of turtle in Chinese).
However, the turtle in front of them was truly astonishing, as big as a washbasin.
Its neck, stretched out in pain, was thicker than even an infant's arm, and its limbs were all retracted into its shell.
Xu Xing picked up the harpoon and estimated its weight; this turtle must weigh at least ten kilograms.
People say that a turtle lives for a thousand years and a tortoise for ten thousand. Eating tortoises is against nature, but turtles are considered a great tonic.
Thinking of this, Xu Xing once again drew his Damascus steel Tang sword and slashed at the turtle's outstretched neck.
Don't be fooled by the fact that this turtle, with its shell pierced and seemingly on the verge of death, still possesses terrifying bite force, as evidenced by the bite marks on the harpoon it bore during its earlier struggle.
If you're not careful and get bitten by it, even Xu Xing might get injured.
With a swift stroke, before the turtle could even react, its neck, resembling that of a geoduck, was severed and effortlessly stored away.
After peeling the turtle's entire body off the harpoon, Xu Xing realized that this turtle was also a mutated beast, but its energy level was so low that he hadn't noticed it.
Its crystal core should also be hidden in its head. It wouldn't be bad to have it as a treat when we make soup later, Xu Xing thought to himself.
The group, who had already rested briefly, gathered around, all staring at the prey in Xu Xing's hand.
Susie arrived with three large dogs. As soon as they came over, the dogs' eyes never left the turtle, and they couldn't stop drooling.
Because the two henchmen had received professional training, they stood motionless on either side, only glancing at each other with their eyes.
Xu Xing smiled and thought, "Never mind, I've already taken the essence anyway." He tossed his prey forward, and it landed steadily right in front of the dog.
The dog barked at him, as if to say thank you, then bared its huge canines, cut up its prey, took three-quarters for itself, and generously shared the rest with Big Black and Little Black.
Based on this performance alone, the dog is slowly becoming qualified to be the king of dogs.
Looking at the surrounding lake and recalling the scene of the turtles crawling ashore, Xu Xing had to admit that the abundance of resources here was far better than in the concrete jungle of the city.
The entire Xuanwu Lake is teeming with all kinds of aquatic life. If we could control this place, it would be equivalent to indirectly possessing a huge meat warehouse.
And it's the kind that's recyclable.
Moreover, Xuanwu Lake is not as dangerous as the sea.
Even now, in the early stages of the apocalypse, the ocean is already a realm that humans cannot access.
Even when fishing for prey in shallow waters, there is a high probability that you will become prey for other creatures, since humans possess far more evolutionary energy than mutated beasts.
This resulted in various organisms targeting humans first.
This problem doesn't exist at Xuanwu Lake. Looking at the surrounding water, Xu Xing knew that there were no level four or higher ability users here, so they didn't pose a threat to his safety for the time being.
"Go and drive the car with Xiao Hong here," Xu Xing said to Wang Hu as he turned around.
Soon, the small truck stopped here, only three or four meters away from the water.
Perhaps sensing the scent of abundant water molecules, Xiao Hong flapped its tail fin, causing it to stand upright, thus gaining a clear view of Xuanwu Lake.
Xiao Hong was extremely excited; even the whiskers on the sides of her lips trembled.
"Xiao Hong said: This place is very big, much bigger than the home it used to live in."
Susie relayed the message on behalf of Xiaohong.
Xu Xing was somewhat worried, wondering if Xiao Hong's late-stage level two abilities would be enough to secure a certain position in Xuanwu Lake.
Even with two henchmen following behind her, Xiao Hong's personality is still somewhat unreliable. After all, with a reckless personality, even if she has great potential, it's useless if she doesn't live to see the day she grows up.
Although there are no level four mutated beasts in Xuanwu Lake, there are definitely quite a few level three mutated beasts there. Any one of them could easily defeat Little Red.
Once they reach level three, they already have a sense of territory, and the various creatures in these waters of the lake may have already marked them.
When a new fish joins, it will definitely be targeted.
But a mule is still a horse, and it still needs to be put to the test. Even if they are bullied inside, these three big fish should have no problem surviving.
As long as we can survive, everything will be fine.
Xu Xing leaned closer and said to Su Qianqian, "Please pass on this message to that stupid fish: don't cause any trouble in there. Just living quietly is the best you can do."
