Chapter 167: Four Birds

"No way, you got stuck again?"

When Xigou saw Fang Zhixing's attitude, he knew that he was trying to take advantage of the situation 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 do it."

He tied one end of the rope to a tree, then followed the rope into the water, held 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 sunk into the mud and sand, and was washed back and forth by the rapid current.

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

The system panel then flashed with light.

[1. Sink into the riverbed with fast-flowing water and salvage 100 pieces of ‘turtle-patterned stone’ (1/100)]

When Fang Zhixing saw this, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

"Yeah, that's true."

The system only requires the salvage of 100 pieces of turtle-patterned stones, but there is actually a lot of room for manipulation in how to salvage them.

“It’s rough!”

Xigou was completely speechless. "How can this be possible? 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 the whole bag of turtle-patterned stones into the middle of the river.

Plop! The water splashed high.

Fang Zhixing used the same trick again, dived into the water, and then salvaged the bag.

[1. Sink into the riverbed with fast-flowing water and salvage 100 pieces of ‘turtle-patterned stones’ (completed)]

"Oh my god..."

The thin dog's eyes widened instantly and he was speechless.

The system is really stupid! "Haha, it works!" Fang Zhixing was overjoyed.

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

So easy!

[2. Hunting 1 level 3 alien beast in the water (unfinished)]

"Let's go to the Agate Restricted Area now."

Fang Zhixing became impatient, quickly put on his clothes, and rode to the third-level restricted area.

About two hours later, he arrived at the Agate restricted area, and the journey was uneventful.

After that, everything went according to plan.

Fang Zhixing first hired a guide and then entered the restricted area.

"There are only two types of strange beasts that live in 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 restricted area.

He introduced: "The third-level beasts in the swamp include the 'three-tailed white tiger', the 'black reef gray rhino', the 'mud python', etc.

The third-level exotic beasts in the lake often lurk at the bottom of the lake, rarely surfacing, and are difficult to hunt.

There are relatively many level three monsters in the river, but their distribution range is also wide, so it is not easy to search for them. "

Fang Zhixing considered it again and again, and finally decided to hunt the third-level strange beast in the river.

The reason is simple: the name "Jiang Liu Shui" obviously has a specific purpose.

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 men and the dog walked deeper and deeper into the water and finally arrived at the "Heinisha River".

This river is very scary. Not only is the water dark and turbid, with rolling mud and sand and huge waves, but the 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 their skin will be corroded and disintegrated.

The guide told a story: "Not long ago, a group of rebels tried to assassinate the county magistrate. After they were caught, the county magistrate ordered them to be put in a cage and thrown into the Black Mud River for seven days. When they were fished out, I saw with my own eyes that the rebels' skin had been corroded all over their bodies, and their flesh and blood were blurred. It was so tragic!"

Fang Zhixing remained calm, walked to the riverside, put his hands in the water and washed them.

Soon, he felt an intense itching pain in his hand, which made him want to scratch it.

Fang Zhixing frowned slightly and endured it for a while.

After a while, the itching and pain will subside and eventually disappear.

Fang Zhixing looked at his hands. Apart from a little redness, there was nothing unusual.

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

"many!"

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

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

The thin dog and the guide found a safe place to hide.

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

Soon, there was a crash!

The dirty surface of the river suddenly broke open, and a tall, fat figure emerged from the water.

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

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

At first glance, it looks like an undead creature!

“Is this a bone fish?”

Fang Zhixing watched 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 bony fish ate the pork, flesh and blood quickly grew on its body, and even a layer of fish scales appeared.

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

The bony fish struggled violently, but to no avail.

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

Perhaps because of the toxicity and corrosiveness of the water, the bony fish squeezed out all the water and compressed all other organs onto the surface of the fish bones.

Only when they eat will their flesh, blood and digestive organs emerge.

“It’s so fucking amazing.”

Fang Zhixing was amazed and squeezed it hard.

With a bang, 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.

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

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

Splash~ Suddenly, a larger bony fish broke out of the water, its body length exceeding three meters.

This skull fish was covered in 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.

The golden silkworm is powerful!

He threw a punch and hit the fish head.

There was a loud bang, and the terrifying fist force hit the bone fish all over the body.

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

The bamboo raft glides naturally downstream.

Time goes by little by little...

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

It was getting dark.

Fang Zhixing gradually lost his patience and said thoughtfully, "It seems that we won't be able to hunt a level 3 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 men and the dog were attacked by a pack of wolves.

Although Fang Zhixing killed many people in all directions and drove away the wolves with great force.

But unfortunately, something unexpected happened.

The guide was bitten to death and dragged away.

The thin dog was also unlucky. His hind thigh was bitten by a vicious wolf, which tore off a large piece of meat, leaving a bloody mess.

“Ahhh~”

The thin dog screamed in fear, "It's over, it's over, I only have one life left, I'm going to die now."

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

He immediately took the dog to the clinic for treatment.

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

The thin dog 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 alone to hunt.

The little dog stayed in the inn to recuperate.

After all, he is a level three alien beast with very strong vitality and it is not so easy for him to die.

The next day, Fang Zhixing still returned empty-handed.

“Ouch…”

The thin dog kept crying in pain and showed signs of fever.

Fang Zhixing untied the bandage and changed his dressing.

As a result, the little dog grimaced in pain, cried and begged for his parents.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Fang Zhixing, please be gentle."

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

The little dog cried so hard that his nose was running all over the place. He looked a complete mess and looked extremely miserable.

On the third day, and the fourth day, Fang Zhixing still failed to hunt down a level three beast. He had worked in vain for the whole day.

The thin dog had a high fever and vomited everything he ate.

Until the fifth day! A giant bony fish with a body length of more than 20 meters suddenly jumped out of the water, causing a huge wave.

The bamboo raft could not bear the pressure and was swept away, swallowed up and destroyed by the waves in an instant.

Fang Zhixing had to jump into the air, tread water again and again, rise up and down on the open river surface.

"Snowflakes cover the roof!"

"The lion is covered in red!"

He gripped the Tingfeng Knife tightly, swung it up, and chopped at the giant bony fish.

Dangdangdang~ The bones of bony fish are extremely hard. When they are chopped with a heavy knife, sparks fly and the sound of collision is deafening.

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

"The bone fish would sink into the water from time to time, and I couldn't stay on the surface of the water, so the timing and force of the chop were far inferior to those on land."

Fang Zhixing was worried that the skull fish might escape.

He tried to jump towards the shore little by little to lure the giant bony fish to swim over.

However, this bony fish is so large that it stops within ten meters of the shore.

"We can't kill it at this rate."

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

Charge up!

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

The huge bony 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 tightly grasped the Tingfeng Knife in both hands, his whole body tense as a giant bow.

The huge bony fish approached little by little, and the next moment, Fang Zhixing suddenly swung his knife.

“Bang!!”

A waterfall suddenly appeared above the river, reaching a height of thirty or forty meters and shaped like a big knife.

After a while, Fang Zhixing dragged the huge bony fish onto the river bank.

At this time, the giant bony fish's head was cut into two parts from the middle.

Fang Zhixing looked down at Ting Fengdao with a look of great regret on his face.

Tingfengdao collapsed again.

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

The Tingfeng Sword was badly damaged this time and it was impossible to repair it by just grinding it down.

Regardless of Ting Feng Dao, Fang Zhixing raised his hand and pressed on the giant bony fish.

"receive!"

In a flash, with crackling sounds, the giant bony fish's entire body disintegrated and collapsed, as if it were being crushed by a millstone.

In a flash, the huge bony fish turned into wisps of gray dust and drifted away.

[Jiang Liushui·The conditions required for the maximum level have been met, do you want to upgrade? ]

President Fang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with satisfaction.

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

"Oh, I'm really sick. Why did I sacrifice eight lives that night?" The thin dog groaned, regretting his decision.

Fang Zhixing sat down next to him and calmed himself down.

"promote!"

In a flash, the vast memories and insights of Jiang Liushui's cultivation poured into his mind, and were quickly absorbed, digested, and completely integrated into one.

Fang Zhixing suddenly had an epiphany and mastered the entire secret of Jiang Liushui's martial arts.

This defensive technique imitates the turtle-like beasts that survive and evolve in rivers, and absorbs the hardness of the turtle-like beasts and the characteristics of flowing water.

Fang Zhixing's entire body trembled, he straightened his chest, and his muscles swelled violently.

His body suddenly swelled invisibly. First, a tortoise shell-shaped pattern appeared on the skin of his chest, then spread out, and finally the tortoise shell-shaped pattern covered his entire body, covering every inch of skin.

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

This made the muscle contours on Fang Zhixing's body, at first glance, look as if they were drawn with a black brush, indescribably firm and solid.

Fang Zhixing clenched his fists and felt the power in his body surging wildly.

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

I couldn't help but smile with satisfaction when I realized the situation.

At this moment, he finally advanced to the perfection of the Fourth Animal Realm without any disturbance.

【River Flowing Water·Perfection】

[Explosive Skill: Turtle Skin (Lv3)]

[Tortoise-patterned skin: Your body is as hard as a tortoise shell, invulnerable to swords and guns (your nine orifices are still your weak point)]

"Eh, I only awakened one burst skill..."

Fang Zhixing blinked, feeling a little disappointed.

"Well, there are probably not many defensive burst skills to begin with."

Fang Zhixing quickly let it go.

Defense is different from the other three points after all.

It doesn’t really matter how many burst skills you have.

As long as your body becomes strong, others can't hurt you.

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

Suddenly, the thin dog stood up, shook its butt a few times, and was shocked.

Fang Zhixing glanced at his system panel.

[Species: Canine]

【Talent: Dog's Bond】

[Bloodline: Hyena (Level 3)]

[Bloodline Explosion Skill: Poisonous Wolf Fang (Lv2, each use consumes 1 life)]

[Bloodline Explosion Skill: Wolf Shadow Gale Claw (Lv2)]

[Bloodline Explosion Skill: Shrinking the Earth (Lv2)]

[Number of lives remaining: 10]

The little dog was also upgraded and had an extra life.

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

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

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

The wound on the hind thigh had disappeared and turned into hard dog hair, with no signs of injury at all.

"You've been upgraded!"

The thin dog finally came to its senses, raised its head and looked at Fang Zhixing, wagging its tail.

He had never been so happy about Fang Zhixing's upgrade as he was at this moment.

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

The dog immediately stopped wagging its tail and yelled, "Tsk, I saved you a few times before, we don't owe each other anything."

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

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