The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 63 The Rainy Season Arrives
Time passed unknowingly, the weather became hotter and hotter, and it seemed that it was already early summer.

Looking from afar in all directions, there was lush greenery. Even the originally bare valley was not as barren as Wang Wu had imagined. There were some scattered weeds popping up here and there.

Of course, you have to get closer to see it. If you look from a distance, it is still a desolate place.

Under such circumstances, the ten shrub seedlings planted by Wang Wu and the five grafted fruit trees are growing well.

Not only did the shrubs grow to more than 30 centimeters in height, their roots also began to grow densely, and they were already showing signs of becoming small bushes.

The five small fruit trees are even more graceful. Because Wang Wu occasionally injects some spiritual energy into them, they have now grown to half a meter high. It is obvious that they are no longer shrubs.

Of course, what he was most concerned about were the nine berry seeds. Under the influence of spiritual energy, they had all sprouted and taken root, and the seedlings had broken through the soil, showing great vitality.

At this rate of growth, he might have a chance to eat berries in a month or two.

However, that would require that there would be no more migratory groups such as the Iron-toothed Locust and the Devil's Ivy passing by.

So in fact, Wang Wu didn't have much hope.

He knew very well that he would not be able to protect the fragile ecosystem he had created unless he was strong enough. This time, he was just trying to accumulate experience. If he could survive and continue to expand, that would be great.

If it was unfortunately destroyed, it was also within his expectations.

During this period, it was still the three golden minutes every day that brought him immediate results.

In the past half month, except for three days of rainy weather, he reaped a lot every other day. He absorbed the golden particles for a total of twelve days. The daily spiritual energy income was stable at 80 points. After deducting the spiritual energy input into the shrub seedlings, fruit tree seedlings, and berry seedlings, he accumulated 780 points of spiritual energy.

After obtaining these spiritual energies, Wang Wu still prioritized improving his weaknesses.

For example, physical strength and agility.

He successively increased his physical strength to 300 points and his agility to 15 points, which cumulatively consumed 280 points of spiritual energy.

As for the remaining 500 points of spiritual energy, after repeated consideration, he decided to add all of it to the defense attribute.

From the original 16 points, it was increased to 21 points in one go.

The reason for this is that he is still shrouded in fear brought to him by the big mountain cat.

That guy was so fast that only his afterimage could be seen.

Even if the big mountain cat is unlikely to go south, it may not discover him if it goes south, but there are so many little goblins in these vast mountains. What should he do if he is unlucky and encounters such an enemy?
Passive stealth talent does have its drawbacks after all.

Danger perception cannot help him detect all enemies in advance. Most of the time, when he discovers the enemy, the enemy also discovers him.

Therefore, increasing defense is of utmost priority.

According to previous combat data, his 1 point of defense can prevent 3 points of damage.

With 21 points of defense, you can be immune to 63 points of damage, which is pretty good.

Wang Wu even felt that he should stack the defense attribute to 30 points next.

And this doesn't seem to be difficult. Just basking in the sun for more than ten days and absorbing 1000 points of spiritual energy is enough.

However, just as Wang Wu was thinking about the future, rolling dark clouds gathered and spread out from the southeast, and faint thunder was heard.

He didn't take it seriously. Summer is here, and it rains more frequently. Isn't that normal?

What we should consider is what to do if a flash flood occurs?
Do his seedlings need to be transferred?
That night, it started to drizzle. It was light rain at first, but by the next morning, it had turned into moderate rain.

The sky and the earth were covered in white. No thunder could be heard, only the sound of heavy rain.

At this time, Wang Wu, hiding in the crevice of the rock, still had the mood to recall the scene of last year and miss the white-haired mouse and the fire scorpion king.

But when the rain continued from morning to evening, and from evening to the next morning, and still showed no sign of stopping, he finally determined that the rainy season had arrived.

He deliberately ran out to take a look. There was no major flash flood in the valley. Although the water level in the stream had increased dramatically, it did not threaten his small shrubs and fruit trees. As for the berry seedlings, they would not be affected at all.

Then, Wang Wu finally had some ideas in his mind.

Because in such a rainfall, he could clearly sense that his level 6 danger perception was decreasing. If it was the case for him, then the other goblins were probably the same. So, should we take this opportunity to go to the North Mountain or the southern forest to earn some meat?
God have pity on him. He hasn't had any proper food for nearly a month, and his growth rate has slowed down a lot. He is now skinny and bony.

"Let's go to the southern forest first. It would be great if we could catch a big fish."

Wang Wu made a decision quickly and subconsciously avoided the direction of Beishan. He was still afraid of the big mountain cat.

Wang Wu floated downstream along the swollen stream, remaining highly alert all the way while also paying attention to his own situation.

His current health has already been restored to full, at 310 points.

Due to malnutrition, although the upper limit of physical strength is 300 points, in fact it can only be maintained at around 240 points for a long time.

But he wouldn't get sick because of being caught in the rain. His 10 points of ice resistance had already exempted him from such negative factors.

Overall, his condition is still pretty good.

We walked south for about two kilometers, and the valleys and low mountains on both sides gradually disappeared, and the terrain changed from valleys to a vast plain.

The first thing I saw was the forest covered by fog. It was really endless, from east to west, it was all there. Of course, I couldn’t see anything farther away because the fog was a bit thick and the vision was greatly obstructed by the rain.

The second is the stream, which has long since turned into a river. Wang Wu also noticed that a small stream also flowed into the river from the valley next door. In addition, due to continuous rainfall, the river has become hundreds of meters wide.

Wang Wu originally planned to go south along the stream, but now there is no way to go.

You either have to wade directly across the river which is hundreds of meters wide, or go back and cross the river.

“I wonder if there are any fish in this river?”

Wang Wu was drooling as he thought, although there were a lot of aquatic plants in the stream in the valley, he had rarely seen fish and shrimps, but there were quite a lot of toads.

But before he could explore, it was completely destroyed by the devil vine.

Otherwise, if he had just been guarding a stream, he wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state.

"The water seems a bit deep, and the current is quite strong. I don't know if I can swim, so I'd better forget it."

Wang Wu squatted by the river for a long time, but finally gave in.

The main reason is that fishing in the river requires a lot of physical strength. Given his current condition, he should first go find some wild vegetables and leaves to fill his stomach.

Just as he was about to turn around, he saw a black, strange-looking monster that looked like a toad, but also a little like a human, jump out from the wide, fast-flowing river with a splash.

This guy could even stand upright, but because he was too hunched over, he looked like a water ghost, and his two huge eyeballs were like two tumorous light bulbs on his forehead.

The head is broad, flat, and pointed. It is really hard to describe.

He had an apron made of unknown material tied around his waist, and his body was covered with fist-sized bumps.

The hind legs are not visible, but the two front legs look a bit like human hands, except that they have huge webbed feet.

One of them was firmly holding a barbed weapon that looked like a short spear.

At one point, Wang Wu almost thought he had met the immortal version of Guru.

Just as he was surprised, the frog Gulu actually spit out a huge bubble and started talking. The voice was noisy and unclear, but at least it could be heard clearly.

"Quack, where did you come from, little goblin? Quack! You've crossed the line, do you know that? Quack!"

Wang Wu was stunned, and immediately realized that the other party should be a demon soldier under a certain big demon. This was not good. But before he could come up with a countermeasure, the frog's huge eyes turned, as if a layer of whites was replaced, revealing dark, unfocused eyeballs.

"Quack? You can't speak, quack! You are not a demon soldier! Quack! You have grown so big for nothing, quack! Keep the head for wine, quack! The rest is for the king, quack!"

Before he could finish his words, the barbed spear in its hand had already been thrown over.

The speed was fast and accurate, and it was accompanied by the whistling sound of the cold wind. For no reason, Wang Wu thought of the ubiquitous icy aura in the winter wasteland.

He wanted to hide, but he didn't know that the area was covered with mud. He slipped and fell to the ground, and the short spear stabbed his back accurately. Although it failed to penetrate, the short spear contained a lot of icy spiritual energy, which was released instantly and froze Wang Wu into a lump of ice.
