Cultivation: When you do things to the extreme

A few days later, in the Blackwater River.

A place full of muddy water.

In the turbid black water, a faint green light flickered.

A nine-foot-long herring, almost a foot long, was fighting fiercely with a plump catfish with black skin and white belly.

This fat catfish is only six feet long, but its body is extremely broad and fat, like a large water tank that has fallen sideways. Its mouth is lined with sharp spines, like files, which are the catfish's unique teeth.

Although its body is fat, its movements are not clumsy. Instead, it is very vigorous, and it is tumbling violently in the muddy water.

But the performance of its opponent is even more extraordinary. Covered in scales and armor, with a green light, and a nine-foot body, it seems to have the power of a dragon. It is capable of overwhelming the world. In terms of strength and speed, it is superior to this fat catfish.

After a fierce fight, the catfish was already scarred, and its black skin and white belly were covered with various scars left by the opponent's bites, slaps, and headbutts.

On the other hand, the herring was in full swing, its sapphire scales were as clean as new, and there was no damage at all.

"Gululu!"

Although it was at the end of its rope, it was a carnivorous fish species and very ferocious. The fat catfish swooped up again and bit into the opponent's tail spine with its bloody mouth.

As a result, the herring's body turned like a dragon, and the fish's tail was pulled out with great force, sending the fat catfish, which weighed thousands of kilograms, flying away. It was dizzy and difficult to control.

Then, it no longer wasted time, swung its body and tail, and slammed its head out. Its nine-foot body was like an arrow leaving the string, and the water around it exploded, slamming heavily into the catfish's snow-white and fat belly.

The belly of this fat catfish is very big. It is as big as a drum, with thick fat, and the outer skin is extremely tough and very greasy. If a normal attack falls on it, it will not only be unable to hurt it, but will be entangled in its belly and rolled into a twist, or It rebounds directly, and the person hit will either die or be injured.

It can be called the catfish version of "cotton belly" martial arts!

But at this moment, facing the opponent's fish head that was blasted like a heavy cannon, its catfish belly was completely useless. Not to mention the entanglement and rebound, it couldn't even unload the force, transfer the force, or neutralize the attack. It was directly smashed into the opponent's internal organs. , even the spinal fish bones were shattered and broken.

"Puff!"

Blood spurted out, and in the muddy water, one of the five overlords was reduced again.

Xu Yang did not dare to neglect, flew forward and started to feast.

In terms of taste, catfish is a fish species with extremely different upper and lower limits. The delicious ones are very delicious, and the unpalatable ones are very unpalatable. They are affected by factors such as water quality, environment, and diet.

Fortunately, the water quality of the Blackwater River is very good, so the meat of this catfish is also very good. It is fat but not greasy, not earthy, and has no rancid smell. Instead, it is dense and sweet. It can be said to be a top-grade delicacy. It is different from the previous red-backed lobster king. All delicious.

"Gulu...not bad!"

After he was full of water and food, Xu Yang lay down again, turning his belly and drifting with the current in the water.

Herring is large in body and likes to be quiet by nature and does not like to move. Especially after eating, it wants to lie down when it is full.

Although Xu Yang's consciousness was absolutely dominant, his physical instinct also had some influence on him.

Therefore, he has become a lot tired recently, often sleeping after eating, like a salted fish.

But fortunately, it is only limited to this body, and the main body is not affected.

If this animalistic instinct spreads and turns me into a salted fish, I will be in big trouble.

While turning his belly and going with the flow, enjoying the time after dinner, Xu Yang was also thinking about his next move.

The five overlords in the deep water area, the red-backed king lobster and the black-skinned fat catfish, which are the best to deal with, have been solved. There are still three troublesome things, the giant turtle, the electric eel, and the mangy snake.

Who to attack next?

Giant turtle?

That thing was like a small mountain, and its shell was unimaginably hard. If he stood there and let him chew it, he wouldn't be able to chew it off.

Electric eels, even worse.

Ordinary electric eels are killers in the water, and this monster-level electric eel is even more so. Except for the giant turtle in the black water river, there is probably no monster that can withstand its electric shock.

Not to mention that this thing also likes to live in groups. In addition to the monster-level electric eel king, there are also a bunch of large electric eels at the level of spirits and strange beasts. If they were allowed to gather together to generate electricity, even the giant turtles would flee.

That mangy snake?

No, no, this thing is highly poisonous, and it also lives in groups. It has a group of poisonous water snakes at the level of monsters and beasts. Although they may not be able to bite through their own sapphire scales, they are still very dangerous.

Xu Yang thought about it and finally realized that none of the three remaining guys were easy to bully.

It's also the right thing to do. If you were easy to bully, you would have been killed long ago. How could you survive to this day?

In fact, big lobsters and fat catfish are also very difficult to deal with. The lobster shell and lobster claws, the catfish belly and the catfish mouth are both offensive and defensive. They are very powerful, but they were restrained by him...

Wait, restraint?

Xu Yang's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly realized something was wrong.

All things in heaven, earth, and natural creatures are interdependent and mutually reinforcing each other!

Every creature has its own strengths and weaknesses.

As long as you use your strengths, avoid weaknesses, and attack their key points, you can easily defeat dangerous enemies.

Take King Lobster and Fat Catfish as an example. Their strengths are shrimp shells, shrimp claws, and fish maws and mouths.

The lobster shell and catfish belly acted as defense and were broken by Xu Yang's sharp teeth and the power of the ichthyosaur. The lobster claws and catfish mouth were restrained by the sapphire scales and could not break the defense at all.

This is biological restraint.

Without such restraint and purely competing for strength and speed, they would never have been defeated so quickly.

By the same token, can Xu Yang find a way to restrain the giant turtle, electric eel, and the mangy snake?

If it were an ordinary monster, an ordinary herring, there would definitely be nothing we could do.

After all, all the advantages of living things are innate and present in nature. If you want to change them later in life, it will only take thousands of years. Reproduction and evolution from generation to generation cannot be achieved overnight.

But Xu Yang is not an ordinary monster, an ordinary herring!

Use form to make up for form!

Evolve and grow!

He wanted to increase his "anti-venom" and "anti-electricity" abilities to deal with those group of electric eels and mangy snakes.

The most powerful thing about the electric eel and the mangy snake is electric shock and poison. Without these two methods, they are the same as the lobster king and the fat catfish. The solution should not be too simple.

So, how to increase the ability of "resistance to poison" and "resistance to electricity"?

Xu Yang thought for a while, then turned around and disappeared into the black water.

After a while, he caught a big fish with a black back and a white belly.

This is...a pufferfish!

In the past few years, Xu Yang has eaten all over the Blackwater River. He has tasted all kinds of fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs.

Only I have never tasted puffer fish.

Even if he developed the eating characteristic of "compensating for shape with shape".

There is no way, this thing is highly poisonous, who will make it difficult for him if nothing happens?

In addition, Xu Yang is not very sure whether this "complementing the shape with the shape" can give him the ability to resist poison.

After all, it is shape that complements shape, not adaptation to evolution. Eating too much pufferfish may not necessarily enhance poison resistance, but may also supplement other aspects, such as the pufferfish's appearance and its ability to bloat.

This is all possible.

Therefore, Xu Yang has not taken the initiative to eat puffer fish in recent years to improve his poison resistance.

But now he wants to give it a try. Anyway, he has practiced the fish-dragon transformation, and his physique is strong enough that he can commit suicide.

It's just a small pufferfish, so there's no way it can poison a monster-level fish dragon to death...right?

Looking at the giant pufferfish that was a monster in his hand, Xu Yang hesitated for a while, but finally decided to let it go and catch an ordinary pufferfish.

Then...

"Gulu!"

One bite, two clicks, and then swallowed into the abdomen.

At his current size, an ordinary puffer fish is too small and too small, no different from a piece of sashimi.

"It seems...you don't feel anything?"

After eating the pufferfish, I waited for a while but saw no reaction.

Seeing this, Xu Yang became much bolder, and turned back to catch a giant puffer fish that was a beast.

"Kaka!"

"Well... I seem to be feeling something, come again!"

"Kakaka!"

Xu Yang circled around in the deep water area and swallowed a few more exotic puffer fish.

Then...

"Gululu!"

The sky and the earth were spinning for a while, and Xu Yang saw stars in his eyes. The whole fish turned over and floated toward the water with its belly facing up.

Up!

But after all, he has the body of a fish and a dragon, and his body is strong. Xu Yang soon regained consciousness, forced himself to swim despite the discomfort, found a hidden place to lie down, closed his fish eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

So and so, after March.

In the Blackwater River...

Countless strange beasts and even spirit-level fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs fled in panic, avoiding the terrifying figure with a bright green light behind them.

But how could they be faster than this apex predator? In the blink of an eye, a monster-level pufferfish was caught up by Qingguang, and his head was devoured in one bite, and he started to feast on it.

In the blink of an eye, this small millstone-like monster-level puffer fish was completely eaten by it.

Even so, it didn't give up, turned around and killed, biting a black water snake.

"Kakaka!"

Xu Yang called up the attribute panel while eating spicy strips.

Xu Yang

Race: Herring (dragon species)

Cultivation: Flesh Realm

Lifespan: 4/99

Skills: swimming, eating, breathing, sleeping, Taoism, martial arts training...

Kung Fu: Martial Arts: Fish and Dragon Transformation.

Talent: Sapphire scale armor, fish and dragon body, invulnerable to all poisons.

Overall, there are not many changes, except that there is an additional "talent" column.

What is talent?

According to Xu Yang's understanding, the innate abilities of alien beasts are not skills and cannot be developed. They can only be practiced like exercises, or improved through "growth" and "devourment".

As for whether it can be transported to the main body, it is unknown because it has not been tested yet.

Generally speaking, this innate ability should be unique to "exotic beasts" and is closely related to the growth of the alien beast's bloodline. The purer and richer the bloodline, the more powerful the talent.

Currently, Xu Yang has awakened three talents, namely jade scale armor, fish and dragon body, and immunity to all poisons.

The sapphire scale armor is a talent he acquired through his own growth, the fish-dragon body is the result of the fish-dragon transformation and devouring dragon blood, and the invulnerability to all poisons is the harvest of his hard work "complementing the shape with the shape" during this period.

In the past three months, he had eaten puffer fish, nibbled on venomous snakes, and from time to time he would go to the mangy snake's territory to provoke its younger brother and experience the feeling of being injected with snake venom.

In this way, Huang Tian lives up to his expectations and will eventually gain something.

Talent - invulnerable to all poisons!

Specialized in poison!

Mangy snake, here I come!

Xu Yang let out a long roar, swung his body, and headed straight for the snake nest.
