Zhang Yuan dived into the Changtian River silently. In the clear and pure river water, he seemed to have returned to his home. Above Zhang Yuan's head, there was a thick layer of ice. After the winter, the temperature dropped sharply, and the originally turbulent Changtian River was frozen in a few days. The ice blocked the light, making the underwater world a dark world. But this did not prevent Zhang Yuan, who was blessed with the ability of water, from swimming freely in this world! He dived deeper into the water. Zhang Yuan soon found a group of fish. When it was cold and frozen, the fish in the river gathered from shallow water to deep water, reducing their activities to maintain their lives. It was easy for Zhang Yuan to catch them.
However, he let go of this group of river fish, which numbered hundreds. Because these fish were pure chicken ribs for Zhang Yuan. Even worse than chicken ribs! When the God's Nest was still level one, sacrificing a palm-sized crucian carp could also bring him a little bit of source. But as the level of the God's Nest increased. This "benefit" no longer exists. The God's Nest has now reached level 4. Even if Zhang Yuan sacrificed all the fish, he probably wouldn't be able to collect even a single source of essence. Only those big fish with huge bodies and strong vitality are worthy targets. Otherwise, Zhang Yuan could use his water-related ability to catch fish crazily and sacrifice them to obtain a large amount of source essence. Upgrade the God's Nest and all the hosts to level 5, 6 or even higher. He tried it. The result proved that this approach was a dead end! Moreover, Zhang Yuan also found that even if the God's Nest was not upgraded. The more creatures of the same kind were hunted, the less source essence was obtained. The only thing that remained unchanged at present was the amount of source essence obtained through salvation! He passed by the school of fish without disturbing any of the river fish that were huddled together for warmth. In the dark deep water area, Zhang Yuan explored slowly. He knew that real delicacies were not easy to obtain.
The next moment, Zhang Yuan drilled into the reef area at the bottom of the river. This is one of his hunting grounds. With Zhang Yuan's arrival, the originally calm waters suddenly surged with undercurrents. Streams of water with strong impact force "drilled" into the gaps between the reefs flexibly and fiercely. Instantly stirred up a lot of mud and sand! These undercurrents are like long spears and long whips. They can be hard or soft and penetrate everywhere. Of course, they are not naturally generated. Instead, they come from the control technique that Zhang Yuan himself has comprehended! Those creatures hiding in the reefs were in trouble. Some were directly knocked unconscious, some ran around in panic, and some were forced to leave their hiding places. They fled to other places at high speed. Although the water became turbid. Relying on the extraordinary perception brought by the water nature, Zhang Yuan locked a target in an instant. New undercurrents were generated again, and an invisible net was interwoven in an instant. It was tightly covered. The frightened target immediately jumped around, trying to break free. As a result, Zhang Yuan, who swam over, grabbed it! This was a three-foot-long river eel, as thick as a child's arm, with a dark back and a white belly, and it was very slippery. However, Zhang Yuan's five fingers closed like a pair of pliers, locking it tightly. Then he put it into the net bag he carried with him. River eels are good things. Such a big one must have grown in the river for at least ten years, and it is already a river treasure. Zhang Yuan had no intention of sacrificing it, and planned to take it back for New Year's Eve dinner. Tomorrow, it will be a new year again! One river eel alone is obviously not enough. He swept back and forth in the reef area and caught a rock carp weighing five or six kilograms, an old river turtle. And about two kilograms of river shrimp.
Only then did he return to his home with satisfaction. The sky gradually darkened, and Zhang Yuan also dealt with his catch. The river eel was cut into sections, the rock carp was shaved into slices, the old river turtle was chopped into pieces, and the river shrimp was marinated in wine. As for the dissected internal organs. All of them were fed to the red-eyed crow! When night fell, Zhang Yuan set up a charcoal hot pot in the room. He didn't have much cooking skills, and even if there were delicacies from the mountains and the sea and various seasonings, he couldn't make a table of delicious dishes. Instead of wasting natural resources, it is better to use the simplest way to satisfy the appetite. It's still no problem to make a hot pot dipping sauce! The clear soup in the copper hot pot soon boiled, and Zhang Yuan poured the processed ingredients one by one. The hot steam rose up and spread in the room. Sitting at the table, Zhang Yuan poured himself a glass of wine, unconsciously thinking of his mother and Xiangxiu. And Dahu. I remember that during the Chinese New Year last year, the house was lively. Everyone gathered around the table to celebrate the New Year's Eve, looking forward to a better and happier life in the new year. At that time, the lovely Xiangxiu was by his side, his loving mother kept picking food for him, and Dahu hid under the table and wagged his tail. Zhang Yuan felt happy and peaceful, and extremely satisfied. Now he was alone, far away in the deserted land, and he didn't know how far away from his relatives he was. He didn't even know if they were safe! Angry Whale Gang, Qingyun Temple, Tianren! Zhang Yuan's heart suddenly rose with an extremely strong anger, his blood was violently churning, and his face instantly turned red. Snap! He crushed the wine glass in his hand. Gah~ The red-eyed crow standing on a chair nearby cried out, tilted its head and looked at Zhang Yuan with a puzzled look. Zhang Yuan suddenly woke up and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of frustration. He also suppressed his inner anger. He reminded himself that his current strength was far from enough to seek revenge, and that unwarranted anger was just a manifestation of incompetence.
He took a new wine glass and poured it again, and Zhang Yuan drank it all in one gulp. He picked up two pieces of fish meat with chopsticks, put them in boiling water to scald them, and then dipped them in the dipping water and stuffed them into his mouth. The sweet and delicious taste immediately soothed his mood completely. Zhang Yuan simply let go of his arms and began to feast on them. He drank a whole jar of strong liquor and swept away all the prepared ingredients. In the end, even the soup in the pot was completely wiped out - it was so delicious that it made your eyebrows fall off! Only then did he lie on the bed with a little bit of drunkenness and fall asleep contentedly. Until the darkest time before dawn, Zhang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes. He suddenly turned over and sat up, looking at the closed door with a sharp gaze! Only half a cup of tea later, the bolt was silently pulled, and the two doors opened, and a black figure flashed in. The man moved swiftly and seemed like a ghost, wrapped in a nightgown, revealing only a pair of deep eyes. However, this skilled intruder never expected that Zhang Yuan had woken up at this moment. He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him coldly. The next moment, Zhang Yuan suddenly jumped up and slapped the other party hard. His palm instantly turned red like blood!
