"Enhanced Heart of the Ocean has taken effect."

As the system prompts sounded, sewage flooded Liu Zheng's mouth and nose.

Although it had the effect of Heart of the Ocean, he still felt suffocated.

I was suffocated by the smell.

It turns out that what you smell on the shore is just a little top note. Only when you stir up this stagnant water can you fully enjoy the real bottom fragrance.

He felt like his limbs had to be amputated from the forehead down.

Surprisingly, when Liu Zheng actually jumped into the water, the corrosive alternation of hot and cold did not appear again.

Except for a slight odor, it is no different from ordinary sewage.

It doesn't even have that sticky and greasy feeling, it's even quite refreshing.

This makes Liu Zheng feel at ease a lot.

Although he will definitely not die due to the effect of Heart of the Ocean, the consumption of too much flesh and blood will also affect his combat effectiveness.

"You, come here!"

He raised his fingers at Flayed Monster with an extremely arrogant attitude.

Flayed Monster stared at him coldly and licked his paws.

There was not only blood on the claws, but also a lot of minced meat.

"Huh?"

Liu Zheng Only then did he realize that he was injured.

He touched his waist and saw that a fist-sized piece was cut out on his right side.

But it's not a big problem. With the 100% recovery speed bonus, the wound is healing at an astonishing speed.

Liu Zheng waited for a few seconds. Seeing that Flayed Monster had no intention of coming, he simply launched an attack.

The tentacles wrapped around Boning Knife and threw it out like a rope dart.

With his current strength, this momentum is equally astonishing.

However, in the eyes of Flayed Monster, who has excellent dynamic vision, Liu Zheng's attack is not too fast.

It even has time to think about whether to evade or fight back.

Finally, it made a decision.

Flayed Monster swung his claw again, but this time the expansion was much smaller.

But according to its calculations, such strength is enough to tear apart the prey in front of it.

It's just that it doesn't know that there are such things as props in this world.

The sharp claw accurately hit the middle of Liu Zheng's tentacle, but only torn half of it apart before it was blocked by the bones inside.

"Heart of the Ocean" Effect 2: Damage taken in water is reduced by 50%.

"I didn't expect that."

He smiled evilly and waved his tentacles again.

Vigorous exercise caused the wound to expand again, spurting out a large amount of blood.

But Liu Zheng doesn't care at all.

Opportunities are fleeting and can only be seized if you are quick and decisive enough.

Boning Knife drew an irregular arc and inserted into Flayed Monster's back.

This monster's defense power is far less powerful than its attack power, and with the two damage bonuses superimposed, Boning Knife is completely useless.

"Ah!!!"

Flayed Monster let out a hoarse scream.

His hair stood on end, it was exactly the voice of a human male.

Flayed Monster glanced at him with hatred, then turned around and ran away.

"What the hell, my knife!"

Liu Zheng immediately chased after him upon seeing this.

That knife was borrowed. If it were lost, White-Feather Chicken would definitely peel off his skin even more cleanly than Flayed Monster.

With the bonus of Heart of the Ocean, his speed in water is no slower than on land.

Flayed Monster, who was seriously injured, became slower and slower.

Under the circumstances, Liu Zheng gradually caught up with it.

Just as he was preparing to attack, a rustling sound suddenly came from the other side of the river.

The sound approached quickly and soon turned into rolling thunder.

Liu Zheng felt a chill in his heart and immediately sank his whole body into the water.

In the blurred vision, palm-sized black mice ran out of the darkness.

They lined up in a circle, biting each other's tails and connecting head to tail.

After arriving at the river, Rat Swarm immediately changed their formation and gathered in the center, turning into a sphere.

The mouse ball rolls forward, across the river, and towards Flayed Monster.

Flayed Monster made a threatening cry while running away desperately.

Unfortunately, its threats were ineffective and its escape speed was not fast enough.

The mouse ball quickly caught up with Flayed Monster.

All things turn into one, and one thing turns into ten thousand things.

The mouse ball disintegrated into countless black mice, submerging Flayed Monster.

"Ahhh! I'm in so much pain. Please help me, who will save me?"

Flayed Monster made a terrifying scream.

Liu Zheng shuddered a little as I listened to the sound of deformation in the water.

Could it be that Flayed Monster was once a human being?

Or is this just a trap for it to lure humans?

He had no chance to find out.

Because Rat Swarm quickly left Flayed Monster and returned to the circle.

The monster that once had bulging muscles was left with only a pile of cleanly chewed bones.

"Squeak!"

A black mouse barked several times in the direction of Liu Zheng.

Rat Swarm soon arrived at the river, with pairs of colorful eyes staring at Liu Zheng underwater.

He took it in stride.

If Rat Swarm could get into the water, he should have swam directly through it just now.

Sure enough, after a stalemate for a while, a particularly large black mouse barked several times.

Under its command, Rat Swarm balled up again and disappeared into the darkness on the other side of the river.

Liu Zheng stuck his head out and waited for a while. When he saw that the rats had indeed left, he landed on the shore.

"The snipe and the clam compete with each other, so the fisherman gets the benefit."

He walked to the pile of bones and sighed.

After being beaten hard twice and soaked in smelly water for so long, I got nothing.

Fortunately, Rat Swarm didn't take Boning Knife away, otherwise it would have been a real loss.

In fact, Liu Zheng was a little eager to try it out just now and wanted to try dragging a few black mice into the water.

But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it.

If Rat Swarm had a deadly feud and squatted on him on the shore, that would be troublesome.

He picked up Boning Knife, suddenly had an idea, and struck the bone pile on the ground.

Bone fragments flew away, leaving a shallow knife mark on the bone.

"That's true."

Liu Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

Flayed Monster's explosive power is so strong, its bones must also be very hard.

Otherwise, it will break its own bones before it attacks the prey.

Liu Zheng picked up four bone rods.

Even if he returns the knife now, he still has a spare weapon.

After judging the distance, it was about 300 meters away from the entrance.

After thinking about it, he decided to fish here again.

Liu Zheng jumped into the Wastewater River again, and then ate Baiting Agent.

After waiting for about ten minutes, no fish took the bait.

If it were in reality, he would definitely suspect that he was unlucky.

But now he has the buff of "Never Strike Out" and the effect bonus of Baiting Agent.

If you still can't catch any fish, it only means that there are indeed no fish in this section of the river.

Or, try across the river?

Liu Zheng raised his head and looked at the dark passage ahead.

There should be connected to other Sewer spaces, and there should be other tributaries.

After being excited for a few seconds, he gave up.

Maybe Rat Swarm is waiting for him inside now.

He didn't want to be the turtle that crawled into the urn.

Since he didn't plan to explore a new path, Liu Zheng decided to walk another 500 meters.

If there are no fish after walking another 500 meters, then there are really no fish.

After all, we are almost out of the street of French Plane Tree.

He got up and went ashore and walked along the river.

After walking about 200 meters, he made a new discovery.

There were a few black things on the ground.

Liu Zheng squatted down and pulled twice with Boning Knife.

After careful research, he believed that these should be the skins of baked potatoes.

And the fire is getting bigger.

Liu Zheng got closer and smelled it, and could vaguely smell the scent of pine.

He didn't think there would be pine trees in Sewer.

In other words, these baked potatoes were brought down from above.

Who would bring baked potatoes to Sewer to eat? It's just like someone coming for a spring outing.

Recalling what French Plane Tree said before, Liu Zheng's expression changed.

Could it be that person?
