The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 516 Obtaining the [Water Elementalization] Rune Bone
Cherry Blossom Avenue was originally located in the north of the Eco-City and connected to Linjiang.

Before the great flood, it was a famous riverside attraction.

Every spring, countless cherry blossoms bloom on both sides of the road, which is a beautiful sight.

Many tourists from other places come here to admire the cherry blossoms.

"About three months after the flood, the sword-tailed sea serpents were entrenched in Cherry Blossom Avenue."

"The heavy rains had lasted for three months, but some houses and buildings had not yet been completely submerged, and there were still many survivors living in the buildings."

"But ever since the sword-tailed sea snake appeared, it has started attacking humans everywhere."

"Everyone knows that a terrifying mutant beast has appeared over there, and everyone is trying their best to escape from there."

“That’s why there is a gathering place called Xiaomaoshan.”

"It's fortunate that many people escaped early. Otherwise, the flood would have become bigger and bigger, and the mutant beasts under the water would have become stronger and stronger."

"Those of us who originally lived by the river may not even be able to escape."

On the water, a Yangshan speedboat was speeding.

Ji Xiaoyu introduced Cherry Blossom Avenue while telling the story of the sword-tailed sea snake.

Guan Yue on the side said: "Mr. Liang, the sword-tailed sea snake is really strong. We haven't seen this beast for nearly three months."

“I don’t know if it has become more powerful now.”

Liang Yuan asked, "Did this sword-tailed sea snake swim over from Linjiang?"

Guan Yue nodded: "That should be the case. We have never seen sword-tailed sea snakes here before."

"And from what I know, sword-tailed sea snakes are a type of sea snake that only lives in the ocean, not in fresh water."

“I don’t know how it got here.”

Liang Yuan nodded slightly. He had seen sardines in the flood at the beginning of the flood.

This shows that rivers, lakes and reservoirs have long been submerged and sea water has flooded into the land.

That's why these marine creatures appear.

Moreover, after Liang Yuan's observations over this period of time, he found that the mutant beasts in the floods are often the stronger marine mutant beasts, while there are relatively fewer powerful mutant beasts in freshwater lakes.

He had discussed this matter with Li Hanzhong and others before.

Everyone agrees that the world's mutation may have started a long time ago, and even the earliest mutation should have started in the ocean.

That is why these marine creatures are ahead of other species, evolve first, and become stronger.

Fu Qibo also pointed out that the species and number of marine life far exceed the species and number of life on land and in freshwater lakes.

So from a probabilistic point of view, it is normal for stronger mutant beasts to be born in the ocean.

"Mr. Liang, the sword-tailed sea snake not only has extremely strong strength and underwater speed, but also has a strong venom ability."

“Its toxins can attack not only the body but also the mind.”

Guan Yue reminded.

Liang Yuan nodded slightly: "Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention to it."

“It should be this area.”

Ji Xiaoyu suddenly looked up and looked at the flood around him, then began to remind Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan looked up and saw a vast expanse of water all around him, with only a few buildings over eighteen stories high still visible above the water.

Ji Xiaoyu pointed to a residential area that was exposed above the water not far away and said, "That residential area should be Shuixiu Garden. Cherry Blossom Avenue is right next to Shuixiu Garden."

This is geography that only locals know.

Liang Yuan stood up and looked around. The water was rippling and a lot of garbage was floating on the water.

There were pieces of wood, various plastic products, floating tree roots, construction waste, and even some corpses.

He said in a deep voice: "I'll go down and take a look. You guys leave here first and hide in a nearby building."

"Be careful." Ji Xiaoyu couldn't help but shout.

Liang Yuan glanced at her and said with a smile, "Don't worry."

After saying that, he jumped and jumped directly into the water.

Ji Xiaoyu took two quick steps and stood on the deck of the speedboat, looking at the waves with worry on his face.

Guan Yue couldn't help but laugh and said, "Xiao Yu, you care so much about Mr. Liang?"

Ji Xiaoyu didn't look back and said, "He is a good man. There are not many good people in this world."

Guan Yue was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, I just hope Mr. Liang is safe and sound."

The two looked at the water for a while, and finally started the speedboat and sped towards the Shuixiu Garden not far away.

About ten meters underwater, Liang Yuan used his genetic powers to transform into a mermaid.

Compared to directly opening a defensive shield such as the Spirit Turtle Shield, or using a water-avoiding talisman to dive, diving in this state is more concealed and saves more supernatural energy.

Liang Yuan was swimming underwater, his eyes having activated the night vision ability.

His genetic mutations were activated and he quickly adapted to the underwater pressure.

As he continued to dive deeper into the water, he soon saw some low buildings.

These buildings are the residences of the original residents of the Eco-City. They are two- or three-story buildings, and there are also many small restaurants.

This place became a tourist attraction because of the Cherry Blossom Avenue, and the locals around here took advantage of this benefit and started running homestays and restaurants.

However, these buildings have now been submerged by floods, and Liang Yuan even saw several corpses on the ground in a homestay.

The nearby trees have long been submerged, and the former road has also been buried by a large amount of silt.

What surprised Liang Yuan was that the cherry trees on both sides of the road did not rot or wither.

Instead, the surface of these cherry trees has a large amount of crystal-like bark texture.

These tree trunks have also become unusually thick, and at first glance, they look as if they were made of cement.

Liang Yuan couldn't help but step forward and gently touch the cherry trees.

Unexpectedly, with this touch, the crystalline textures on the entire cherry tree suddenly lit up.

In an instant, the tree looked as bright and shining as if it was hung with small colored lights during the festival!
Liang Yuan was a little surprised: "These cherry trees seem to have found their own evolutionary path after being submerged by the flood."

“I don’t know how they adapt to living underwater without sunlight or air.”

Liang Yuan was secretly curious and tried to break off another branch.

However, when he bent it with force, he found that the branch of the cherry tree was extremely hard, even stronger than steel bars! With Liang Yuan's current strength, he actually felt a little tired!

Remember, this is still a thin stick!
He couldn't help but be surprised: "How did this cherry tree evolve? These crystals are harder than iron?"

His mind moved slightly. If these could be made into weapons, their attack power would definitely be greater than that of iron weapons.

Even the bones of some mutant animals that have been enchanted cannot reach this level of hardness.

Thinking of this, Liang Yuan immediately pulled out a tree by the roots and stuffed it into the inventory.

"Perhaps it can be transplanted underwater near Yangshan."

Liang Yuan continued to stroll along the cherry blossom avenue. Suddenly, he stopped and looked at the muddy road not far away.

But I saw that the silt over there spread out to both sides, and a deep ravine appeared in the middle.

The ravine is about seven or eight meters wide and S-shaped, winding and twisting, like the traces of something crawling past.

Liang Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately realized what it was.

"Sword-tailed sea snake!"

This huge ravine is most likely the trace left by the sword-tailed sea snake crawling.

Liang Yuan strode into the deep ravine.

Only when you are in it can you feel how big this sword-tailed sea snake is.

It is seven or eight meters wide and three or four meters deep.

This sword-tailed sea snake, conservatively estimated, was at least dozens of meters away.

Liang Yuan couldn't help but take a deep breath, and bubbles gurgled under his cheeks.

Liang Yuan jumped up immediately, swam quickly upwards, and then looked down from the air.

The trace was very clear, and Liang Yuan immediately followed this huge ravine to chase forward.

The entire Cherry Blossom Avenue is about 5 kilometers long. For Liang Yuan, it only takes a few breaths to fly over the distance.

However, after swimming less than three kilometers, Liang Yuan discovered that a large number of deep gullies appeared on the muddy road ahead.

These deep ravines are crisscrossed, with no obvious tracks, and are very messy.

Some of the traces are very new, while others are quite old and have grown unknown aquatic plants.

Liang Yuan frowned slightly: "Is this where the sword-tailed sea snakes often move around?"

He descended and came to the ravine. After a while, he saw several human skeletons in the grass not far away!

Liang Yuan stepped forward and kicked the dry bones, and immediately found a rune bone engraved with complicated runes among them!

He immediately picked up the rune bone and examined it carefully.

This should be the rune bone of a water-attributed mutant. Its runes are water blue. Liang Yuan tried to activate the rune bone directly with his supernatural powers.

hum!
The rune instantly lit up with a blue halo, and the next moment, the entire rune bone suddenly turned into a ball of water mist.

Liang Yuan felt it in his hand, as if he was touching a ball of water.

"Elementalization?"

He was slightly stunned. This was a relatively powerful ability among those with water elemental abilities.

Not every water-attributed mutant can comprehend the ability of elementalization.

There are many people with water element abilities in Yangshan, but not many of them can transform into water elements.

So far, only Zhang Hengliang and a few other water-attributed psychics from the Misty City can do it.

Han Xiangman, Li Xiaojun, Kong Sheng and others have not mastered this skill.

Liang Yuan didn't expect that there would be such a rune bone among the bones he was just randomly searching through!

According to Liang Yuan's speculation, the [Water Elementalization] skill should at least be a green quality skill.

This skill is quite powerful and has the ability to ignore physical attacks, which is very powerful.

If you draw from the system, you need at least 100,000 points.

He immediately activated his supernatural powers and used his genetic transformation to quickly transform the attributeless supernatural energy into water-attribute energy.

Then start learning this rune.

With his current mental strength, learning green-quality skills is almost a matter of a second.

hum!
As Liang Yuan's mental power drove the supernatural energy in his body, the next moment, his body suddenly shook.

Immediately afterwards, Liang Yuan felt his body gradually dissipating and turning into dense water mist.

His mental strength moved, and his body, like mist, quickly swam in the water.

The fish passed through his body and he had a clear sense of touch.

But the little fish didn't notice anything and continued to swim around in the water ball he had turned into.

"Is this what it feels like to be an element? It's really magical."

Liang Yuan laughed and said, "After returning, you can teach this rune to all water attribute mutants."

"There are many water-attributed psychics in Yangshan. If everyone can master this skill, it may greatly enhance Yangshan's strength."

Liang Yuan's eyes flashed slightly, and his body continued to swim underwater.

However, he soon discovered a problem. When in the water element state, not only was he free from the constraints of the physical body, but he didn't even need to breathe.

In other words, those who have mastered the ability to transform water elements can live underwater for a long time.

"But the energy consumed by water elementalization far exceeds that of mermaidization."

Liang Yuan sensed the energy consumed in his body and gradually became aware of the flaws of water elementalization.

This skill consumes a lot of energy. It can be used for short-term combat, but it is not easy to maintain this state all the time.

He continued searching while feeling the changes in his water elementalization skill.

At this moment, he suddenly stopped and looked not far away.

But not far away, I saw many small snakes about six or seven meters long gathered in a sunken algae.

A round transparent bubble appeared inside the algae, with a long giant snake trapped inside.

When Liang Yuan saw the bubble, his expression suddenly changed.

"Space bubble!"
