Xu Xin immediately took off the blue-level leather armor set and put on the boa scale armor set.
A warm current flows from the heart to the limbs and then gradually flows back.
"Is this the way to greatly increase my strength?" Xu Xin muttered to himself as he felt the power in his body that he had never controlled before.
His body had already undergone several power-ups. The first was the effect of the blue-level bear paw he obtained during his first hunt, the second and third due to the contracts found in the gold and silver treasure chests. He also kept a [Humanoid Statue] in his treehouse, which could enhance all of Xu Xin's physical qualities, including strength, within the treehouse's protective area.
Wearing this scale armor suit, he even felt that he could kill an elephant with one punch.
Of course, this was just his feeling, but it had to be said that his current strength was definitely several times greater than when he first came to this world, and might even have exceeded the ultimate strength of humans on Earth.
However, the most important thing about this set of armor is not the increase in strength, but the ability it gives him to go into the water and not be disturbed by underwater creatures!
Xu Xin did not bring the three beasts with him, but came to the lake alone.
The lake water was now filled with a light red color, which was dyed red by the blood of the giant anaconda and the giant crocodile. No one knew how much blood the two giant beasts had shed, and the blood was not much, but perhaps because the blood of the giant beasts was special, the entire lake was affected.
"What a waste of blood." Xu Xin felt a little heartbroken.
This is the blood of a giant beast. It is very likely to have special properties as Chang Yin said, just like the blood of a high-level mutant beast. After being mixed, it can become ink and be used to make a mutant beast contract.
Giant anacondas and giant crocodiles are definitely stronger than high-level mutant beasts.
Chang Yin had said before that he could only defend himself against high-level mutant beasts, but Xu Xin doubted he could defend himself against these two giants. Just a few scales shed from the giant anaconda had already given him a purple rank. He couldn't imagine the level of these two beasts.
Xu Xin scooped up a handful of water and sniffed it; there was no unusual odor. The water in his hand was so small that its red color was no longer discernible. Xu Xin didn't trigger any prompts, indicating that the water was simply lake water and could not be used.
"Speaking of which, this blood won't mutate the creatures in the lake, right?"
He hurriedly looked towards the center of the lake and was shocked to find that the few remaining piranhas in the lake had grown larger. They were originally small fish like pomfret, but now they were as big as big carp.
"Is this true? Did I guess it right?" He suddenly felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.
The original purpose of calling the giant anaconda over was to completely deal with the piranhas. He was afraid that the contaminated meat would cause the fish to mutate. As a result, after all the effort, several of them still mutated.
But the scales the crocodile brought him this time were his biggest reward. At least now he could go into the water and deal with the piranhas himself! Now that their numbers were at their lowest, it was the perfect time to eradicate them completely.
However, Xu Xin was a little worried that the injured giant anaconda would come out from the bottom of the lake again. He would only have one way to die if he faced that big guy.
Let’s try the effect of this scale armor first.
He walked into the lake and slowly moved forward in the shallow water.
He discovered that his originally inconspicuous scales became as smooth as a mirror after being stained with water, and as shiny as polished metal, reflecting the luster of rock color. It looked completely different from before it was stained with water, and was very similar to the appearance of the giant anaconda in the center of the lake.
"It seems that this suit is really designed for underwater use."
Xu Xin continued to wade forward. Gradually, most of his body was submerged in the water. However, the fish and shrimp in the lake did not disperse because of his arrival, but stayed where they were without moving.
Xu Xin walked up to a carp and picked it up. If the carp had not jumped twice in his hand, he would have thought it was a dead fish. But despite this, the carp was not very active. It just jumped twice and then stopped moving. Only the fish's mouth opened and closed, indicating that it was still alive.
"What's going on? Is it because of the effect of the scale armor? Or is it because of the blood in the lake?" Xu Xin frowned.
He released the fish. He didn't dare eat the fish here for the time being. After all, the piranhas in the center of the lake had mutated. He didn't believe these ordinary fish would be fine. He would wait and see the situation in a few days. Maybe some advanced fish would appear, just like the koi that Qin Yunlong found.
The water had already reached his neck. Xu Xin took a deep breath, held it, and dived into the water.
He tried to open his eyes in the water and didn't feel any discomfort.
Normally, when you open your eyes in water, your vision will be very cloudy, but Xu Xin's vision in the water is very clear, except that the bottom of the water in the deeper water farther away is a little dark and not very clear.
He tried to move his legs and found that he, who used to take more than a minute to swim 50 meters, could now swim effortlessly and quickly in the water.
Xu Xin felt that if he were allowed to participate in the Olympics at this time, he could easily bring back a gold medal.
In the entire lake, only the area about 20 to 30 meters from the lakeside is a diving area. The water depth at the beginning is just above the ankles, and at 20 to 30 meters the water depth is less than two meters.
The water in the lake was clear, but it had a faint blood-red hue, as if it were covered by a red filter. After swimming forward a few dozen meters, Xu Xin saw a scene that made his hair stand on end.
The depth of the lake bottom suddenly increased like a cliff at about twenty or thirty meters, and a huge hole at the bottom of the lake appeared before his eyes.
This huge hole at the bottom of the lake is like a huge well, extremely deep and dark. You can hardly see what is underneath. You can only vaguely see something swimming in the deeper part of the hole, and it seems that it is even much bigger than Xu Xin.
