Although Xu Xin did not have any fear of the deep sea, his legs and feet softened slightly when he saw the mysterious giant hole under the water and the mysterious creatures swimming in the hole.
"It's really creepy." Xu Xin thought to himself.
After activating his identification ability, Xu Xin discovered that there were some blue-grade aquatic plants growing on the wall of this huge cave. The depth was not very deep, less than ten meters.
Not going into the deep water for the time being, Xu Xin swung his legs, turned around and swam in the shallow water.
The diving area in this lake does not have any blue resources, but it does have some green resources.
[Pebbles: Stones washed by streams that somehow ended up in the lake.]
[Water plants: Edible aquatic plants, with a unique flavor compared to terrestrial vegetables.]
[Clay: The raw material for firing pottery and porcelain.]
Until he could hold his breath no longer, Xu Xin poked his head out of the water.
There were few resources in the shallow waters, but there were many living creatures, including various fish, shrimp, and lake shells. His ability to identify living creatures was not enough to determine their quality, so he had to kill them to obtain the materials.
Of course, they may only be worth eating.
However, Xu Xin did not plan to catch these fish, shrimps and shellfish now. He had enough food anyway, so he would wait and see how the situation would be in a few days.
He decided to deal with the piranhas in the center of the lake first, and then go down to take a look and collect the blue resources on the wall of the giant cave.
Now that he had the effects of his Scale Armor set, it shouldn't be a problem for him to deal with a few piranhas. Fish have a strong reproductive capacity, and if they weren't eradicated, they would likely reappear in a few days.
As for the giant anaconda in the center of the lake, it is injured and should not appear. Even if it appears, it will take about six or seven seconds from the time the red dot lights up to when it actually emerges from the water. At Xu Xin's current speed, it is fast enough to get away from the center of the lake.
After eating the red berries that allowed him to see at night and the water plants he had bought from Qin Yunlong before, Xu Xin gained the ability to breathe underwater for half an hour. He took out his spear as a harpoon and then dived into the water.
At first he didn't dare to breathe. After swimming for a few times, Xu Xin tried to breathe freely and found that he could really breathe underwater. The lake water was not inhaled by him because of his breathing. He seemed to be able to draw gas directly from the water to breathe.
Swinging his hind legs, he swam quickly towards the center of the lake.
He felt that he swam even faster than most fish.
Although the piranhas in the center of the lake had grown larger, they were still moving within a very small range. Even though Xu Xin had reached the edge of their activity and they had discovered Xu Xin, they still did not attack Xu Xin. Instead, they retreated to the farthest position they could within their limited range of activity and remained motionless.
"That's the effect of the scale armor set. It has a deterrent effect on aquatic life, right?" Xu Xin looked at the piranhas a few meters away from him. Just before he arrived, the five piranhas were swimming back and forth within that few meters. As soon as he approached, they floated motionless on the water's surface.
"The effect is so obvious? Perhaps it's because the armor is made from the scales of their boss that it has such a good effect."
Xu Xin thought for a moment, did not approach, put away the spear in his hand, and took out his crossbow.
The fish with half of their bodies floating on the water are perfect for shooting with a crossbow. The shore was far away and Xu Xin couldn't shoot them, but now they are so close that they are even motionless, so the crossbow is perfect for shooting them.
Of course, the main reason was that Xu Xin didn't want to enter the area where the piranhas moved. He felt that this area restricted the piranhas' swimming range and represented something. If he entered, he might attract giant anacondas or something else.
Surfaced with a crossbow, Xu Xin aimed at one of the piranhas and pulled the trigger.
The crossbow arrow accurately hit... the other piranha next to that piranha. Unfortunately, it couldn't maintain great stability on the water, and Xu Xin hadn't yet adapted to his abilities, so it was normal for the first shot to miss.
The piranha that was shot was directly pierced by the crossbow arrow, and the arrow head and tail remained on both sides of the body, making it look like a skewered fish about to be put on the grill.
The piranha began to twist in pain, blood flowing out, dyeing the surrounding water red.
Just when Xu Xin was about to fire another crossbow arrow, a surprising scene happened.
The other four motionless piranhas suddenly jumped up and started biting the injured piranha frantically!
In just over ten seconds, the piranha pierced by Xu Xin turned into a bare fish skeleton, and slowly sank to the depths of the lake along with his crossbow arrow.
The other four piranhas returned to their motionless state after eating their own kind.
"This...it even eats its own fish?" Xu Xin was shocked.
