Xu Xin immediately took off the blue-level leather armor and put on the anaconda scale armor.

A warm current flows from the heart to the limbs and then gradually returns.

"Is this a significant increase in strength?" Xu Xin muttered to himself as he felt the power in his body that he had never controlled before.

His body has been enhanced in strength several times. The first time was the effect of the blue-level bear paw he got when he hunted the beast for the first time, the second time and the third time were the effect of the contract in the gold and silver treasure chest. He still has a

A [Human Statue] can improve various physical qualities of Xu Xin within the protection range of the tree house, including strength.

Putting on this scale armor suit, he even felt like he could kill an elephant with one punch.

Of course, this is just his feeling, but it has to be said that his current strength is definitely several times that of when he first came to this world, and may even have exceeded the ultimate strength of humans on earth.

However, the most important thing about this set of scale armor is not the increase in strength, but it gives him the ability to enter the water and not be disturbed by underwater creatures!

Xu Xin did not take the three beasts with him, but came to the lake alone.

The lake was filled with a faint red color at this time, which was dyed red by the blood of the giant anaconda and the giant crocodile. The two giant beasts did not know how much blood they shed. I was not very grateful, but it may be because the blood of the giant beasts is quite special.

As a result, 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 probably has special properties as Chang Yin said, just like the blood of a high-level mutant beast. After being modulated, it can be turned into ink to create a mutant beast contract.

Giant anacondas and giant crocodiles are definitely stronger than advanced mutant beasts.

Chang Yin once said that he could only protect himself from the high-level mutated beasts, but Xu Xin did not believe that he could still protect himself in front of these two big guys. It was just that a few scales fell off the giant anaconda.

It was purple level. He couldn't imagine the level of these two giant beasts.

Xu Xin picked up a handful of water and sniffed it, but there was no peculiar smell. Due to the small amount of water in her hand, the red color could no longer be seen, and Xu Xin did not trigger any prompts, indicating that the lake was just pure lake water.

, and cannot be used.

"By the way, 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 center of the lake had actually grown in size. They were originally just small fish like small pomfrets, but now they were as big as large carps.

"Really or not? Did I guess it right?" He felt as if he had eaten a fly.

Originally, the giant anaconda was called here to completely deal with the piranhas. He was afraid that the fish would mutate if he used contaminated meat. As a result, after a long time of effort, a few of them still mutated.

But the scales that the crocodile brought him this time were the biggest gain. At least, he can now go into the water and deal with these piranhas by himself! Now that their number is at a minimum, it is the most appropriate time to eradicate them.

But Xu Xin was a little worried, whether the injured giant anaconda would come out of the bottom of the lake again, and he would only die if he faced that big guy.

Let’s try the effect of this scale armor first.

He walked into the lake and gradually walked forward in the shallow water.

He found that after being stained with water, his originally inconspicuous scale armor became as smooth as a mirror, as shiny as polished metal, reflecting a rock-colored luster, completely different from before it was stained with water.

There are two looks, very similar to the appearance of the giant anaconda in the middle of the lake.

"It seems like this suit is really designed for underwater use."

Xu Xin continued to walk forward through the water. Gradually, most of his body was submerged in the water. However, the fish and shrimps in the lake did not disperse due to his arrival, but remained motionless in place.

Xu Xin walked up to a carp and grabbed it. If the carp hadn't jumped twice in his hand, he would have thought it was a dead fish. But despite this, the carp was not very energetic.

It only jumped twice and then stopped moving. Only the opening and closing of the fish's mouth indicated 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.

After releasing this fish, he dare not eat the fish here for now. After all, the piranhas in the middle of the lake have mutated. He doesn't believe that these ordinary fish will be fine. He will wait and see the situation in a few days. Maybe they will appear.

What about some high-end fish, like the koi fish discovered by Qin Yunlong.

The water was up to his neck. Xu Xin took a deep breath, held it in, and plunged into the water.

He tried to open his eyes in the water, but he didn't feel any discomfort.

Generally, when you open your eyes in the water, your vision will be very turbid, but Xu Xin's vision in the water is very clear, but the bottom of the deep water farther away is a bit dark, so it is difficult to see clearly.

He tried swinging his legs and found that it took him more than a minute to swim fifty meters, but he could swim miraculously freely in the water! And he was very fast and effortless.

Xu Xin felt that if he were allowed to participate in the Olympics at this time, he could easily come back with a gold medal.

In the entire lake, only an area of ​​20 to 30 meters around the lake is a diving area. From the initial depth, it is only below the ankle, and at 20 to 30 meters, the water depth is only less than two meters.

The water in the lake was very clear, but the overall color was faintly blood red, as if it was covered with a light red filter. After swimming forward for a few dozen meters, Xu Xin saw a scene that made him stand on his head with chills.

The depth of the lake bottom suddenly increased like a cliff at twenty or thirty meters, and a huge hole at the bottom of the lake appeared in front of him.

This huge hole at the bottom of the lake is like a huge well. It is extremely deep and dark. It is basically impossible to see what is underneath. You can only faintly see the deeper parts of the hole. It seems that something is swimming. It is even bigger than Xu Xin.

Much bigger.

Although Xu Xin doesn't have any phobia of the deep sea, her legs and feet trembled slightly when she saw this mysterious giant hole under the water and the mysterious creatures swimming in the giant hole.

"It's so permeable." Xu Xin thought to herself.

Activating the 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 to the deep water for the time being, Xu Xin swung her legs, turned around and swam in the shallow water.

There are no blue resources in the diving area of ​​this lake, but there are some green resources.

[Pebbles (green): Stones washed by the stream and ended up in the lake for some unknown reason.]

[Aquatic plants (green): Edible water plants, which have a different flavor than vegetables on land. 】

[Clay (green): raw material for firing pottery and porcelain. 】

Until he could no longer hold his breath, Xu Xin stuck her head out of the water.

There are very few resources in the shallow water area, but there are many living creatures, including various fish, shrimps, and lake shells. His identification ability cannot identify the grade of living creatures, and he must kill them to obtain materials.

Of course, they may only have edible value.

However, Xu Xin does not plan to catch these fish, shrimps and shellfish now. He has no shortage of food anyway. He will see the situation in a few days.

He decided to deal with the piranhas in the center of the lake first, and then go down to have a look and collect the blue resources on the wall of the giant cave.

The effect of his current set of scale armor is that it shouldn't be a big problem to deal with a few piranhas. You must know that fish have a strong reproductive ability. If we don't eradicate the weeds, another group will probably appear in a few days.

As for the giant anaconda in the middle of the lake, the injured one should not appear again. Even if it does appear, it will take about six or seven seconds from the time the red light turns on to when it actually emerges from the water. At Xu Xin's current speed, he can get away quickly enough.

The center of the lake.

After eating red berries that can provide night vision, and eating water plants (blue) that he bought from Qin Yunlong before, he gained the ability to breathe underwater for half an hour. Xu Xin took out his spear as a harpoon, and then

Plunged into the water.

At first he didn't dare to breathe. After swimming for a few times, Xu Xin tried to let go and found that he could really breathe underwater. The lake water would not be inhaled by him because of his inhalation. He seemed to be able to breathe.

Breathe gas directly from the water.

Swinging his hind legs, he swam quickly towards the center of the lake.

He felt like he was swimming faster than most fish.

Although several piranhas in the center of the lake have grown in size, they are still moving within a small range. Even though Xu Xin has reached the edge of their activities, they have discovered Xu Xin, but they still did not attack Xu Xin.

, instead, within their limited range of activities, they retreated to the furthest position they could, motionless.

"This is the effect of the scale suit. It has a deterrent effect on aquatic creatures." Xu Xin looked at several piranhas about a few meters away from him. Just before he came, these five piranhas were still within the range of a few meters.

Swimming back and forth, as soon as he came over, they floated motionless on the water.

"The effect is so obvious? Maybe it's because the scales are made from the scales of their boss, so 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 its body floating on the water are perfect for shooting with a crossbow. The shore is far away and Xu Xin can't shoot them. Now they are so close and they are even motionless, so a crossbow is perfect for shooting them.

Of course, the main reason is that Xu Xin does not want to enter the area where they move. He always feels that this area that restricts the swimming range of piranhas represents something. If he enters, he might bring giant anacondas or other

Things are drawn out.

Coming out of the water with a crossbow, Xu Xin aimed at one of the piranhas and pulled the trigger.

The crossbow arrow hit very accurately...the other piranha next to the piranha. No way, it couldn't maintain stability on the water, and Xu Xin hadn't adapted to his ability yet, so the first shot missed as well.

Normal.

The shot piranha was directly penetrated by the crossbow arrow, with the head and tail remaining on both sides of the body, making it look like a fish that was being pierced and about to be grilled.

The piranha began to twist in pain, and blood flowed out, dyeing the surrounding water red.

Just when Xu Xin was about to fire another crossbow bolt, a scene that surprised him happened.

The other four motionless piranhas suddenly jumped up and began to bite the injured piranha crazily!

In just ten seconds, the piranha penetrated by Xu Xin turned into a bare fish skeleton, and together with his crossbow arrow, slowly sank deep into the center of the lake.

The other four piranhas returned to their motionless state after eating their own kind.
Chapter completed!
