Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 63 Talent
A few days later, in the Blackwater River.

A land of muddy water.

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

A herring nine feet long and nearly ten feet in length was fighting fiercely with a fat 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, on the contrary, it is very vigorous, and it tosses very fiercely in this 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 full of vigor, and the sapphire scales were as clean as new without any damage.

"Grumble!"

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 body turned like a dragon, and its tail pulled out heavily, sending the fat catfish weighing thousands of kilograms flying away, making it dizzy and difficult to control itself.

Afterwards, it didn't waste any more time, swung its tail, and shot out with its head, its nine-foot body was like an arrow flying off the string, and the surrounding water exploded, crashing heavily into the catfish's snow-white and fat belly.

The belly of this fat catfish is terrible, as big as a drum, fat and fat, the skin is extremely tough, very smooth, ordinary attacks fall on it, not only can't hurt it, but it will be entangled by its belly, vigorously rolled into twists, or If it rebounds directly, those who hit it 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 didn't dare to be negligent, so he flew forward and began to feast on it.

In terms of taste, catfish is a fish species with a huge difference between the upper limit and the lower limit. The delicious ones are very delicious, and the unpalatable ones are very unpalatable. It is 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 bestial instinct spreads over and turns the deity into a salted fish, then there will be big troubles.

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 best red-backed lobster king and black-skinned fat catfish have been dealt with, and there are still three thorny creatures, the giant soft-shelled turtle, the electric eel, and the mangy snake.

Who to attack next?
Giant turtle?

That thing is like a hill, its shell is unimaginably hard, even if it stands there for him to gnaw, he might not be able to gnaw it off.

Electric eels are 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, there are probably no monsters in this black water river 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 monster-level big electric eels. If they get together to generate electricity, even the giant turtle will flee.

That mangy snake?

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

Xu Yang thought about it, and finally realized that the remaining three guys are not 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 advantages and disadvantages.

As long as you use your strengths to avoid weaknesses and attack its vital points, you can easily deal with 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 biorestraint.

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, the various strengths of living things are innate, innate, and acquired. It only takes thousands of years, generation after generation to reproduce and evolve, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight.

But Xu Yang is not an ordinary monster, an ordinary herring!
Complement your form with your form!

Evolve and grow!

He wants to increase the ability of "resistance to poison" and "resistance to electricity" to himself, so as to deal with the group of electric eels and mangy snakes.

The most powerful things about the electric eel and the mangy snake are 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.

The only thing I haven't tried is fugu.

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 "supplementing form with form" can give him the ability to resist poison.

After all, it is based on shape to complement shape, not to adapt to evolution. Eating too much puffer fish may not necessarily increase poison resistance, but may also supplement other aspects, such as the shape of puffer fish and the ability to bloat the body.

It's all possible.

Therefore, in the past few years, Xu Yang did not take the initiative to eat puffer fish to improve his poison resistance.

But now he wants to give it a try. Anyway, he has practiced the transformation of a fish and a dragon, and his physique is strong enough to kill him.

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...

"Gollum!"

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 fugu, I waited for a while, but there was no reaction.

Seeing this, Xu Yang became more daring, and turned around to catch a big puffer fish of alien beast level.

"Crack!"

"Hmm...it seems to be a bit of a feeling, come again!"

"Kakkaka!"

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

Then...

"Grumble!"

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.

It's 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 three months.

In the Blackwater River...

Countless strange beasts and even monster-level fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs fled in panic, avoiding the terrifying figure with a bright blue 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.

"Kakkaka!"

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

Xu Yang
Race: Herring (dragon species)

Cultivation level: flesh level
Lifespan: 4/99
Skills: swimming, eating, breathing, sleeping, Taoism, martial arts...

Cultivation method: Martial Arts · Fish and Dragon Transformation.

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

On the whole, there is not much change, except that there is an extra "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.

In general, this innate ability should be unique to the "exotic beast", and it is closely related to the growth of the bloodline of the alien beast. The purer and richer the bloodline, the stronger the talent.

At present, Xu Yang has awakened three talents, which are sapphire scale armor, body of fish and dragon, and invulnerability to all poisons.

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

In the past three months, he has eaten puffer fish, gnawed poisonous snakes, and occasionally went to the mangy snake's territory to provoke the opponent's younger brother, to experience the feeling of snake venom injection.

In this way, Huang Tian will live up to it, and there will be a harvest in the end.

Talent - invulnerable to all poisons!
Specialized in poison!

Mangy snake, here I come!
Xu Yang let out a long roar, swung his body, and went straight to the snake's nest.
