This is a permanent residence, and the design is large and difficult to dig, especially the place chosen by Su He is full of plant roots. While ensuring the solidity of the cave, it also increases the difficulty of digging.
This is not a workload that can be completed in one day.
The wound on his hind leg caused by the otter has already healed and will heal in two days at most. His recovery ability has improved a lot after this long sleep.
Su He crawled out of the half-finished cave, surfaced to breathe, and then quietly dived underwater.
A carp swam past him unscrupulously.
A naked provocation.
The Su He turtle's head stretched and retracted like a sharp arrow, and it had already clamped the carp's body. It shook its head and smashed it onto the pebbles at the bottom of the pond, knocking it unconscious.
Fish are tenacious and not easy to kill. It is enough to make them unconscious. He turned the carp over and bit off its spine, tearing the fish meat slowly. It tasted a bit like mud when he put it in his mouth, and the fish scales often got stuck in his throat. Su He's favorite was shrimp. The extremely fresh and delicious taste exploded in his mouth, which was really enjoyable.
The key is that shrimp shells can also supplement calcium.
This kind of food could not be doubled in quality and could only be used to fill the stomach. The giant salamander had disappeared and there was no one to rob.
Su He suddenly thought of a question. The dice would only appear if something was robbed or stolen, so does killing the prey count as robbing its life and freedom
The carp didn't die so the dice didn't appear
Living creatures cannot roll points.
Su He used his claws to pry open the carp's head and took out the heart in one bite. The fresh fish heart beat in his mouth.
I stole the heart of a fish, Su He kept reminding himself in his heart, but the dice did not appear.
Sure enough, there is no bug.
Su He summed up the rule: it only counts if you rob the target's "personal belongings".
The giant salamander came out quietly from somewhere, holding two large shrimps in its mouth, and peeked at Su He's carp.
Su He glanced at it.
…
Prawn quality × 3
Carp quality ×2
Crying giant salamander × 1
Su He discovered a rule that could be used reasonably. He could not roll the dice with the carp he caught, but if the carp was snatched away by the giant salamander, he could just snatch it back.
It is completely possible to keep the enemy at bay and protect yourself!
After a delicious meal, Su He went back into the unfinished cave, covered the entrance with silt, and slept until sunset on the third day.
On the shore, the wolf king stared at the pond without blinking.
It is very patient.
The wild wolf next to me had green eyes. I didn't know if it was because of hunger or because it was getting dark that made its eyes clearer.
After confirming that it was safe, Su He climbed out of the cave. His body became a little sank, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, he could see that he had become much darker.
Not only did the turtle shell turn black, but the skin also turned black. At this moment, it looked like a pure black turtle. If it had a little more oiliness, it would look like a black turtle carved from black jade.
Feeling a little...lost.
The world honors white: white snakes, white peacocks, white deer...
All the magical animals are white to show their holiness, so what does my black color mean
The intended villain
Fortunately, as the skin darkened, it became much tougher, and the wounds left by the otter have healed completely, leaving only light flesh-colored marks on the dark skin.
His strength also increased. With a stroke of his four legs, Su He broke through the water and suddenly jumped out. His speed was nearly twice as fast as before!
Su He had eaten good food before, and with dice he never lacked fine products. But the effect on his body was not so exaggerated, it just made him grow much faster than ordinary turtles.
After swallowing the demon fruit, I can clearly feel the rapid evolution of my body. The exquisite food that I couldn't absorb before can now be completely absorbed.
Thinking about food, I felt hungry again, and my teeth were itching to chew on a teething stick.
But turtles have no teeth. When they just break out of their shells, they have a big tooth, but it falls off after five or six days.
But Su He definitely felt the tingling in his gums. Was he going to evolve teeth
Su He was a little worried.
Could this be an evolution towards a different beast? The quality-enhancing demon fruit has no demon-enhancing effect
Su He was worried. He snatched half a carp from the giant salamander and chewed it carefully to relieve the itchy feeling. He glanced at the prawns at the bottom of the pond. He had to eat more to evolve.
Improve digestive ability and digest the demon fruit as quickly as possible.
So as to avoid any more trouble.
The lotus in the pond should be in bloom in about half a month, and at most the pond will be full of flowers in a month. The time agreed upon by the sloppy old Taoist priest and him is coming.
The sermons given by our seniors are not to be missed.
Su He planned.
"Cry!"
It's instinct.
When I was still trying to make a living in Tinghai Lake, I was almost caught by eagles several times. I also saw several tortoise corpses that were damaged by eagles.
An eagle cannot break a turtle's shell, but if it drops it from a height of 100 meters, even the strongest turtle shell will not be able to withstand such a torment.
Su He shrank under the water, with his limbs slightly retracted, leaving the eagle with nowhere to grab hold. If it were in the previous life on Earth, a turtle of this size would not have to worry about the flying eagle.
But this is the Xuanhuang Realm, and giant eagles with a wingspan of two or three meters are not uncommon.
The water rippled, and a nearby snake also dived into the water. It was not trying to avoid the eagle, but to hunt Su He.
This guy had some problems with his brain, and he blamed Su He for not moving at all and just paddling the water with one claw to maintain balance, making the snake think there was a fish in front of it.
The eyesight of water snakes is too poor, and they cannot sense snake signals, so they rely more on the ripples in the water to judge what is in front of them. Su He has encountered water snakes that came to him on their own initiative more than once.
It tastes good.
The green snake swarmed towards Su He and opened its mouth to hunt. There was a sudden fishy wind above his head. The goshawk circling in the air swooped down at some point and tore into the water with its pair of claws.
The target is the snake!
Fortunately!
The eagle was not very big, with a wingspan of about ten feet. It was a bit difficult for it to pick up Su He, so it knew its own limitations and went straight for the snake.
There are many goshawks here. The diameter of the Tinghai Lake next door is hundreds of miles, and there is a big river flowing through, which feeds many creatures.
The goshawk lives on the high mountains southwest of Tinghai Lake.
Su He missed Tinghai Lake very much. Although there were ferocious beasts in the lake, the water was turbulent and the breath would be washed away in a moment. It would be safer if he was careful, unlike now when he was trapped in a small pond by a group of wild wolves. He also had to be on guard against the wolf king releasing otters to hunt turtles.
The goshawk landed on the water surface, grabbed the water snake, flapped its wings and flew back to its nest.
Su He had an idea in his mind. The glans shot out instantly and bit the snake's tail.
This flight attendant, please give me a ride!
The struggling snake was instantly stretched straight, and the hawk was pulled down. However, an inexplicable surprise burst out of its eyes, as it smelled the scent of the demon-transforming fruit.
The wingspan of this goshawk is more than ten feet, nearly four meters. It should be no problem to carry a two-jin snake and a twenty- to thirty-jin turtle.
When moving from a small pond to the mountains where the goshawk lives, it must pass by Tinghai Lake, which is a good time to move.
The goshawk flapped its wings and flew up with difficulty. It was only thirty to fifty feet off the ground and flew laboriously towards the west.
The wolf king on the ground smelled the scent of the demon fruit and exploded instantly, roaring and snarling to catch up. His speed was not inferior to that of the loaded hawk.
Hello, Wolf King!
Goodbye, Wolf King!
Don’t send Wolf King away!
The goshawk was very fast. It leaped over the pond, flew over the hills, and flew in arcs, its flight becoming smoother and smoother with the help of the light breeze.
The wolves were desperately chasing the turtle on the ground. Seeing the turtle in the sky getting farther and farther away, the wolf king roared angrily and bared his teeth.
Goodbye to you.
Su He waved his paws, in a very good mood.
Just then, there was a crisp "Snap!" sound.
The water snake could not withstand the pull of the goshawk and Su He.
Broken!
Su He fell to the ground with a thud, and didn't react for a long time. Fortunately, they were almost at Tinghai Lake, right at the shallow mud pit.
The good news: It hurts, but it doesn’t hurt.
Bad news: There is a crocodile beach ahead and a group of crocodiles are looking in this direction at the same time.
Su He was startled and heard wolves howling behind him. The wolves were chasing after him.
A chill pierced the tip of the turtle's tail from its shell.
