Cultivation: When you do things to the extreme

The giant turtle rises from the mountain and then enters the black water, looking for the divine palace.

On the other side, Xu Yang thought hard and had some clues.

Fighting head-on and fighting alone, he is completely unable to do anything to this giant turtle now.

Sneak attacks with secret hands and encirclement and killing with the crowd are also difficult to achieve because the opponent's defense is too strong.

But if it doesn't work now, it doesn't mean it won't work in the future.

He decided... to beat this old turtle to death!

Of course, this endurance is not a fight for life in the conventional sense.

A thousand-year-old king is an eighty-thousand-year-old tortoise. Who knows how long this old guy can live? The time flow rate between this world and the real world is only ten times. Xu Yang really does not have the capital to fight for his life and endure his death.

Therefore, he has to... fight for growth!

It’s not that you will die if you endure it, but it will be slow to endure it, your progress will be slow, and your improvement will be slow!

As long as the giant turtle can improve its own strength to the point where it surpasses the opponent before it finds the Blackwater God's Mansion and becomes the Blackwater River God, this problem can be easily solved.

This is Xu Yang's strategy.

A completely feasible strategy.

Because Xu Yang discovered something.

There are three keys to the growth of alien beasts.

One is vitality and environmental constraints.

The second is food and resource constraints.

The third is bloodline and talent restriction.

Needless to say about vitality, the giant turtle can enter the restricted area to absorb the black water spiritual energy, and he can also enter the restricted area and absorb the black water spiritual energy. Everyone is at the same starting point.

The focus is on food. The giant turtle is huge and slow in movement, making it very difficult to catch food. Those fishes at the level of monsters and beasts can detect its existence from a distance and flee away immediately.

If you want to catch big fish, you have to use your magical powers and use the heavy earth water to forcefully pull those strange beasts in front of you. However, the energy consumed by doing this may exceed the replenishment of food.

Therefore, the food of the giant soft-shelled turtle is quite scarce, and it basically cannot prey on strange monsters. It can only eat aquatic plants and some ordinary fish with low intelligence and unable to resist.

In fact, it has not eaten any strange beasts for several years. If it were not nourished and replenished by the aura of heaven and earth in the Blackwater Restricted Area, it would have been possible to decline, let alone improve.

Therefore, Xu Yang can start with food, suppress his opponent, and catch up at the same time.

This is food wise.

There is also the aspect of bloodline...

The giant turtle is a natural mutant, and its bloodline is very powerful, otherwise it would not be able to become the first monster in the Blackwater River.

Xu Yang was unable to suppress this aspect, so he could only catch up and continue to practice the Fish-Dragon Transformation technique.

Long is the Supreme of the Aquatic Tribe. As long as he continues to practice the Fish-Dragon Transformation Technique and purify the dragon bloodline, he will definitely be able to catch up with the Black Turtle, who is making slow progress or even stalling.

After all, the growth of bloodline also depends on food. Without enough qualifications, let alone Black Tortoise, even Black Tortoise will have difficulty improving its strength.

Therefore, Xu Yang's plan to endure the time and strive for growth is completely feasible.

First of all, we must achieve self-sufficiency and cyclic supply, and we must not dry up the lake to fish and destroy the ecology!

Secondly, we need to clear out the black turtle's strong walls and completely cut off its food source so that it can only drink the northwest wind!

So, we need to do a good job in breeding, monitoring, evacuation and other work.

This means...we still need to farm and develop and train our subordinates!

“The more fish there are, the more power there is!”

Xu Yang's eyes flashed, and he immediately stood up and swung his tail, patrolling the black water river.

…

Like this, three days later.

Gululu!

In the restricted area, the black water boiled, and a huge figure stepped out heavily.

It's that giant turtle!

It searched the restricted area for three full days, but still found nothing.

In three days, the black water eroded and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was absorbed into the body. At the same time, the remaining spiritual thoughts of the Black Water River God were also accumulated, which caused an extremely serious burden on its spirit, and it had to withdraw from the restricted area.

The giant turtle stepped out of the restricted area of ​​​​the black water, and then without stopping, moved its huge body and swam towards the area where fish were densely packed.

It wants to eat!

As the saying goes, Xiao He will succeed and Xiao He will fail. The mountain-like body gives it tyrannical power and invincible physique, but it also makes its movements extremely slow and difficult to cover its whereabouts.

This is quite deadly to predators.

Those big fish at the level of monsters and monsters can detect its existence from a distance, and they immediately disperse. Even if it uses the power of water control to move its body, it is difficult to catch those big fish.

In desperation, it can only hunt ordinary fish and shrimps under the alien beasts.

However, those ordinary fish and shrimps have meager energy and blood and scarce nutrients. The harvest from hunting sometimes cannot keep up with the consumption of action.

Therefore, giant turtles rarely hunt for food. They basically lie on the edge of the restricted area and survive by absorbing the spiritual energy of the black water.

But this time it wanted to eat something, because it had absorbed too much black water spiritual energy in the past few days, and it was a little overwhelmed both mentally and physically. It needed to eat to comfort itself before it could recover.

Let's be extravagant this time. Use your magical powers to catch a few monster fish and reward yourself!

Which ones are better to catch? The redback shrimp is delicious, the catfish meat is also good, and I haven't eaten eels and loaches for a long time...

The giant turtle controls the water flow and moves its body, swimming in the Blackwater River like a king patrolling his territory.

But soon it felt something was wrong.

Where's the fish?

“Where’s the fish???”

“Where are the fish in my Blackwater River!!!”

After wandering around, he found nothing. Looking at the deserted and fishless deep water area, the giant turtle finally realized something and let out an angry roar like a dragon's roar.

The fish...is gone!

In the deep water area, all the monster-level and beast-level big fish have disappeared.

Who did it?

Who is so heartless that he won't leave anything for it?

The giant turtle turned back angrily, his eyes flashing with aura, like two lanterns lighting up the Blackwater River, and he searched around for traces of his enemy.

Nothing was found!

No fish at all!

Little thief!!!

The giant turtle roared, extremely angry but helpless. He could only control the water flow, thinking that he was unlucky, and brought some ordinary fish and shrimps under the alien beasts to the front, and swallowed them in one gulp.

It knows who did it.

In the entire Blackwater River, except for him and the dragon-bred herring, no one could wipe out all the mysterious monsters in the deep water in just three days.

This little thief wants to cut off its resources and restrict its growth?

Damn it!

But it doesn't matter, it also has black water aura, which can completely replace food. Even if you don't eat, you won't starve to death. It can even improve your cultivation and purify your blood. As long as you have enough time, you can enter the country.

You herring, how can you survive a mysterious turtle like me?

Even if I can't find the divine seal of the Divine Mansion, I will definitely defeat you!

After casually devouring some tasteless fish and shrimps that were a pity to throw away, the giant turtle returned to the edge of the restricted area, lay down on its stomach, and digested the spiritual energy.

Although he was not able to eat what he wanted and was in a bad mood, he was not anxious.

The Blackwater River is only so big, and there are only so many strange monsters. The other party can only do this kind of thing once in a short period of time.

After devouring this batch of spirit monsters, it will take at least ten or twenty years before the next batch of spirit monsters is born.

With such a long growth cycle, it is almost impossible for the opponent to rely on food resources to catch up and surpass it to become the number one monster in the Blackwater River.

Even if it were possible, it would take hundreds or even thousands of years for it to succeed.

How can a herring live that long?

Even if it could live for that long, after such a long time, he would have found the Blackwater Divine Mansion and refined the Blackwater Divine Seal.

By then, the entire Blackwater River will be under its control. Can it still kill that nasty little thief?

So don’t think too much and sleep peacefully!

The giant turtle closed its eyes and fell asleep peacefully, completely ignoring its opponent.

Three years passed like this.

Three years later...

hold head high!!!

The giant turtle once again woke up from its deep sleep and roared to the sky, shaking in all directions.

It refined the black water spiritual energy again, advanced in cultivation, and increased in strength.

This is already the fifty-eighth time it has explored the black water and absorbed spiritual energy in the past three years.

Although he has never found the Black Water Divine Palace, absorbing the Black Water Spiritual Energy at full capacity for a long time has improved his cultivation a lot, his bloodline has also been purified, and his strength has increased, making him even more powerful.

So he let out a long roar to express his happiness.

After the long roar, I looked up and saw that the Heishui River was still the Heishui River, and there seemed to be no change.

But the giant turtle felt inexplicably uneasy.

In the past three years, the little thief has never come to trouble it, nor has it entered the depths of the black water to find the divine palace. He only absorbed the black water's spiritual energy at the edge, leaving it a little confused and unable to figure out what it wanted to do.

Could there be a conspiracy?

The giant turtle hesitated for a moment, and finally stood up and patrolled the Blackwater River.

After such a tour...

snort!

That's all.

If you can, eat all the fish in this black water river!

Looking at the deserted and deserted area, not to mention strange monsters, even the deep water area where ordinary big fish could not be seen, the giant turtle snorted coldly, wasted no more time, turned around and returned to the restricted area, ready to explore the black water again.

It didn't know that shortly after it left...

hold head high!

A dragon roar, like a horn, spreads throughout the bottom of the Blackwater River.

Then he saw a powerful surge coming from the black water.

Amidst the surge, a green light was particularly eye-catching.

Taking a closer look, he saw that it was a herring, with the appearance of a dragon, covered in scales and armor, leading the way with its eight-foot-long body, and behind it was a vast school of fish, including many of them huge and mysterious monsters that stood out from the crowd.

The herring led the school of fish back in the tide, and then swung its tail as if giving an order. The fish dispersed and started hunting, eating, mating, spawning and other daily tasks.

For strange beasts, this is everyday life.

But this daily routine is different now.

Although it is still the big fish eating the small fish, and the small fish eating the shrimps, the ecological structure and the food chain are linked one by one, but it is obviously more efficient than before, with no meaningless waste and no meaningless consumption. Overall, It works like a machine, running smoothly to maximize efficiency.

It seems that every fish school, or even every fish, has its own position and its own job.

Everyone is dedicated to their duties, makes selfless contributions, becomes a member of the collective, and is busy for it.

This scene is simply unbelievable, even terrifying to think about!

Such collective behavior and work efficiency cannot be achieved by humans, let alone fish?

No, it’s not just fish, there are also turtles, turtles, shrimps and crabs. They are all from different species, but they can actually work together?
