Fortunately, there is a water source nearby. If we follow the stream, we should be able to get out of the dense forest soon.
The stream here is very clear, and several bright red fish are swimming in it. Xiu Qiyu didn't know what she was thinking, but after staring at the water for a few minutes, she made her move.
Ye Xiruo and the others who were watching remarked, "They're so lucky to have encountered such a rare treasure so quickly."
"Let's wait and see!" I felt that there was something strange about the expression on Brother Xiu Qi's face.
This is where the wonder of ice-based techniques truly shines. Xiu Qiyu didn't do much; he simply turned the area where the fish had been swimming into ice, then gently scooped out the ice sculptures and easily placed them into his ring. Ye Xiruo glanced up and saw that Xiu Qiyu's points were still zero, so he had caught the fish purely to eat. It seemed that Xiu Qiyu also agreed with her philosophy.
I don't know how this fish tastes, let's take it back and let Xiaoyezi do the experiment!
Along the way, Xiu Qiyu not only kept an eye out for spiritual herbs, but also caught fish and other aquatic animals. The stream looked small, but it was rich in resources. Xiu Qiyu had a decent harvest. Ye Xiruo really liked the little green turtle that Xiu Qiyu had caught, which was as green as an emerald. It was so cute. The little turtle, whose breed was hard to tell, was of a high grade. Xiu Qiyu's points had now reached fifteen, and this little turtle had contributed ten points. Hopefully, Xiu Qiyu wouldn't eat this little turtle.
Xiu Qiyu also encountered other people. Everyone had been thrown here not long ago, and most of them had zero points. In addition, Xiu Qiyu had been doing nothing but wasting spiritual energy to catch fish and shrimp. The others just glanced at Xiu Qiyu and then looked away and left.
"Was Brother Xiu Qi being looked down upon or ignored?"
"Playing dumb to fool others, isn't that Xiu Qiyu's specialty?"
Ye Xiruo smacked Hua Rong on the head without any mercy: "If I hear you slandering Brother Xiu Qi again, I'll beat you up."
Hua Rong was threatened. This guy has no friends, only girls. ╭(╯^╰)╮
Xiu Qiyu froze several more fat fish, thinking that his junior sister should be very happy now. How many dishes could such a big fish make? Something in the water seemed to be constantly approaching him. This aura should be that of a Nascent Soul stage demon beast.
Xiu Qiyu silently retrieved the fish, which had turned into an ice sculpture. In the next second, he flew into the air, his long sword instantly unsheathed, and stabbed fiercely into a certain spot in the water. This ferocious, enormous head, with a row of diamond-like teeth at the back and a blue tail, was a dangerous hunter, very similar to the crocodile in his previous life, only several levels more ferocious.
Xiu Qiyu's sword pierced one of the crocodile's eyes, severely injuring it in a single exchange. The crocodile struggled desperately, launching a counterattack. Its blue tail lashed out at Xiu Qiyu with lightning speed, but unexpectedly, Xiu Qiyu's hand was covered in frost, allowing him to seize the thick tail. The white frost spread across the crocodile's body, transforming into a beautiful ice sculpture, which then burst open like an ice flower in the air, devoid of any blood—a truly magnificent sight.
The giant crocodile let out a mournful cry. The continuous heavy blows were draining its life force. How could this damned human be so powerful?
Xiu Qiyu showed no mercy to his enemies, cleanly and swiftly piercing the giant crocodile's head. He then collected all the useful spiritual materials from the crocodile's body and threw the corpse directly into the stream, quickly turning the water red.
Xiu Qiyu jumped in directly. This giant crocodile must have been living underwater for quite some time, and its lair should contain some good stuff.
Some people saw Xiu Qiyu jump down and followed suit, hoping to get a share of the spoils. Xiu Qiyu naturally noticed their actions but didn't care much; he figured he was asking for it, so they couldn't blame him.
Following the aura emanating from the giant crocodile, Xiu Qiyu swam downstream with incredible speed, moving with the agility of a true fish. This made sense, as Xiu Qiyu possessed an ice-attribute spiritual root, which was itself a mutated form of water-attribute spiritual root; manipulating water was therefore extremely easy for him.
Xiu Qiyu quickly shook off the people behind him, a mocking smile playing on his lips. The enormous lair indeed contained many valuable items: over a dozen water-attribute spirit herbs, and an immature transformation herb, all of which Xiu Qiyu ruthlessly collected. He also gathered the other party's spatial ring, some not-yet-completely-damaged magical artifacts, and spirit stones, adhering to the principle of not wasting a single drop.
Ye Xiruo touched her chin and gave Xiu Qi a thumbs up. Even a mosquito is still meat, no matter how small, and we can't let it go.
Xiu Qiyu quickly ransacked the giant crocodile's lair and then disappeared.
The people who finally arrived later turned ashen-faced when they saw the giant crocodile's nest, which was now spotless and devoid of any trace of its remains.
This country bumpkin, I don't know where he came from, he managed to plunder so thoroughly, there wasn't even a scrap left.
The country bumpkin Xiu Qiyu had already found a secluded spot, went ashore, and continued to collect food and stuff it into his ring.
Hua Rong was a little confused. Was Xiu Qiyu desperate for money? What was the point of having such a rare ingredient with so little spiritual energy? There were plenty of them outside. He would rather go find rare and precious herbs.
Ye Xiruo glanced at Hua Rong. This was to conserve resources. Besides, finding rare and precious materials also required luck. If you were unlucky, it would be a waste of time to search.
“Senior Brother must have his reasons for doing this.” Before Ye Xiruo could speak, Qing Zhiyi spoke up.
Hua Rong's objections were suppressed once again.
As Xiu Qiyu walked along, her points slowly increased. Was this what they called having a built-in halo?
In contrast, Zishu was much more unlucky, teleported directly to the desolate, godforsaken desert. The endless yellow sand, scorched by the sun, emitted terrifying heat. Zishu immediately pulled out a cloak and wrapped himself up tightly. Fortunately, he was well-prepared; this specially made cloak was cold- and heat-resistant, an essential item for both home and travel.
Wrapped in a cloak, Zishu circulated his cultivation technique, absorbing the fire-attribute spiritual energy in the air. This seemingly peaceful desert often harbors deadly dangers, so it is essential to maintain peak condition at all times to deal with attacks from the outside world.
Without any sense of direction in the desert, Zishu simply followed his intuition. Occasionally, demonic beasts would emerge from the yellow sand and attack him, but he easily deflected them all.
Of course, the journey wasn't without its rewards. Some medicinal herbs buried in the yellow sand were easily unearthed by Zishu, and those that were useful to him were used directly.
