Chapter 80 Crisis in the Lake

Second area forest.

Da Da!

The golden body of Fa Cai was like a golden lightning, flexibly shuttling between the trees.

In front of him was a steel-tailed scorpion that was desperately fleeing.

[Race name]: Steel-tailed scorpion

[Attribute]: Gold

[Bloodline level]: Rare

[Race skill]: Tail flick

[General skill]: Assault

…

As a hunter in the forest, this was the first time that the steel-tailed scorpion was so embarrassed, but after seeing its broken tail stinger, the steel-tailed scorpion still accelerated its escape.

In this forest, even those stinky ants that eat iron all day long don’t have such a hard body!

Swish!

At this moment, a strong wind came from the top of the steel-tailed scorpion’s head. Before the steel-tailed scorpion could dodge, it saw its tail suddenly fly up, and then it lost consciousness.

Da Da!

Fa Cai, who killed the steel-tailed scorpion in one blow, steadily caught the scorpion tail that seemed to be made of pure steel, and stuffed it directly into the golden bowl on his neck, his eyes full of expectation.

Buzz buzz buzz...

Feeling the scorpion tail approaching, the golden bowl suddenly vibrated, and took the initiative to break away from Fa Cai's neck and become the size of a soup bowl, and put the scorpion tail in it.

Then, the scorpion tail melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and gradually turned into a few drops of gold liquid.

Extracting gold energy, this is the ability of the golden bowl.

Da Da~

Seeing that the golden bowl successfully extracted gold energy, Fa Cai immediately grabbed the golden bowl and poured it into his mouth.

But when the gold liquid fell into Fa Cai's mouth, there was only one drop left.

Seeing that the golden bowl was so stingy, Fa Cai angrily threw the golden bowl out, but the golden bowl turned around and returned to the size of a bell and returned to Fa Cai's neck.

Da Da!

Fa Cai became more and more unhappy, grabbing the golden bowl and biting it desperately, but he couldn't even leave a tooth mark.

"Give up, Fa Cai, this is a gold-level treasure after all, it's not so easy to bite it."

Jiang Chen, who came later, saw Fa Cai confronting the golden bowl again, and couldn't help laughing.

"And you drank the golden liquid, didn't you?"

The first function of the golden bowl is to transform metallic substances into golden liquid.

Da Da!

When Fa Cai mentioned this, his cheeks suddenly swelled up, his face full of resentment and dissatisfaction.

Five drops were extracted, and Shu Shu could only eat one drop.

Ten drops were extracted, and Shu Shu could only eat one drop!

Shu Shu didn't want such a black-hearted broken bowl!

"Are you sure? Then I'll exchange it for points."

Jiang Chen's face was full of ridicule, and he pretended to grab it. Fa Cai was immediately anxious and hugged the golden bowl tightly in his arms.

No one can touch this broken bowl before Shu Shu eats it!

"It's good to be able to extract gold energy. At least in the future, we don't have to waste corpses when we encounter gold evil spirits, right?"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly when he saw this. He originally thought that the golden bowl could only extract gold energy from gold and other minerals, but he unexpectedly found that it was also effective for the corpses of gold evil spirits.

Although not much was extracted, it was definitely more cost-effective than selling it, and it could also strengthen Fa Cai's physique like gold coins.

Although the effect was a little worse than that of gold coins, it was still quite good if a little bit added up. As expected, the blood of the Silver Ant General was improved in this way.

If it weren't for the fact that he needed to exchange more points for the corpses of evil spirits to brush up his ranking, Jiang Chen would have probably refined the corpses of more than 20 gold-eating ants he had hunted before.

"The fruit tree extracts the life core, and the golden bowl extracts the corpse. This time, the value of the evil spirits was really squeezed out~"

Jiang Chen stretched out his hand and let Fa Cai climb back onto his shoulder. Looking at the golden bowl swaying in the wind, his eyes were full of expectations.

The golden bowl currently has two abilities, but the second one is full of question marks.

However, judging from the name of the golden bowl "borrow and return", could it be that it can still borrow gold from the golden bowl?

"I hope I can unlock the second skill soon~"

Meow~

Just when Jiang Chen was guessing, Hongzhong had already found the life core from the body of the steel-tailed scorpion and handed it to Jiang Chen, very well behaved.

"Hongzhong is so well behaved~"

Jiang Chen took the life core. Although Hongzhong was not as flexible as Facai, he was really well behaved. As long as he did not encounter a female cat creature...

Every time after the fight, Hongzhong was the first to think of looking for the life core, but Facai was the opposite. Since he recognized such a cat son, he no longer had this awareness.

"Go and see if there are any bronze-level water evil spirits. First raise Hongzhong's combat power level."

Jiang Chen rubbed Hongzhong's head hard and looked into the depths of the forest.

Although the evil spirits have mastered extraordinary abilities, they still need to drink water. As long as they can find a water source, they are likely to find water-based evil spirits.

Although they may not encounter mutants, raising Hongzhong's combat power level can also appropriately improve hunting efficiency.

It was okay in the first area before. Everyone was at the black iron level, and Hongzhong still had an advantage.

In the second area, unless you use ice, the red center will basically break with one hit, and the binding effect of water is also average.

"18% enhancement is indeed a bit lacking, and I have to prioritize the cultivation of the red center next."

From what he currently knows, the enhancement rule of farm facilities should be 10% to obtain life skills, 20% to improve combat power level, 30% to enhance racial skills, and 50% to enhance life skills.

If he guessed correctly, the next stage of enhancement should be 80%.

The interval is exactly 30%, and this wave of enhancement must be huge, but it also requires a lot of resources.

Comparatively speaking, it is more cost-effective to increase Hongzhong to 30% first.

After all, although Hongzhong can directly jump to a higher level after activating the ice, it is time-limited after all. If the foundation is not enough, no matter how good the strengthening effect is, it will be useless.

"Let's go, go hunting again, and then it's time to go to the safe house."

Jiang Chen collected the life core and the body of the steel-tailed scorpion, and then followed Hongzhong's induction and walked into the depths of the forest.

As a water creature, Hongzhong's induction of water elements far exceeds that of other creatures. It didn't take long for Jiang Chen to find a lake hidden in the forest.

Da Da...

Fa Cai, who was still "struggling" with the golden bowl, suddenly stood up from his shoulder and issued a warning to Jiang Chen.

"Don't worry, I know."

Jiang Chen patted Fa Cai's head and slowed down.

Water is the source of life, so where there is a water source, there will inevitably be struggles, and there will inevitably be hidden hunters.

Easily approaching the water source will only expose yourself to danger.

In addition, this lake is a bit too quiet.

At this moment, a student wearing the uniform of Qingteng University suddenly walked out of the forest.

"There is actually a lake?"

After seeing the lake, the student who had been thirsty for a long time suddenly brightened up, and ran directly to the lake without any defense.

The resources provided by the school are limited. If you can't find a safe house to replenish supplies in time, it is easy to run out of water and food.

After all, not everyone can place so much food on the farm like Jiang Chen.

But just when he approached the lake to get water, a water-blue crocodile suddenly emerged from the lake and rushed straight to the student.

"There is not even a living creature around such a large lake. There are indeed powerful evil spirits hidden in the lake."

Jiang Chen was not surprised at all. Looking at the student being chased by the crocodile, he grinned.

"To be able to occupy such a water source, how can you condense a life core?"
