The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 82: Bank of the Xijiang River
The territory of the black spider tribe was about seven or eight miles away from the river. Wang Wu walked carefully and it took him almost half the night to reach the river.

There were only one or two hours left until dawn.

Wang Wu did not dare to be careless. He observed carefully for a long time and determined the general environment of the riverside. Then he climbed down from a cliff on the river bank and slowly dived into the river.

After he was in the calm river water and felt the effect of the level 10 passive stealth, Wang Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His guess turned out to be correct. The number of water monsters in the Xijiang River had indeed decreased significantly. Along the way, he saw many little monsters on land, but he did not see a single water monster patrolling the river.

Of course, this does not mean that there are fewer little goblins in Xijiang.

Those countless fish and shrimps, in such a wide, unobstructed environment, are perfect for absorbing the golden particles.

Wang Wu even felt that within a year, the little goblins in the Xijiang River would grow up rapidly again.

At this moment, as the river flowed slowly, Wang Wu was also drifting in the water. To be honest, he didn't know how he suddenly learned to swim.

It seemed like I learned it naturally after jumping into the river.

In addition, the level 10 passive stealth also allows him to float in the water easily, or even sleep.

In addition, through some subtle movements, it is possible to adjust the swimming direction or swim slowly without exiting the passive stealth state.

In short, Wang Wu suddenly discovered that he was now more relaxed and had more advantages while hiding in the river than on land.

Of course, he couldn't just go with the flow. It would be a joke if he was swept hundreds of miles away by the river.

So Wang Wu quickly found an area on the river bank with dense rocks, most of which were not underwater, and stuck his body behind the rocks. In this way, he could maintain passive concealment without worrying about being washed away by the river.

Soon, it was dawn.

Before Wang Wu decided where to go to bask in the sun, he saw ripples on the river surface, the water was rippling, and fish and shrimps floated up from time to time. Looking around, they were densely packed.

There is no need to make a nest, this is definitely a fishing paradise in the hearts of anglers.

How much is this?

Wang Wu stared in amazement at the big fish, small fish, big shrimps, small shrimps, and even turtles, crabs and other aquatic creatures. They not only jumped on the water surface, but also tried to crawl to the shore.

As a result, in just a short while, a large number of land goblins came to the shore and specialized in hunting turtles and crabs that crawled onto the shore.

But there are also powerful little goblins among those turtles and crabs, and their fighting power is not weak.

The two sides fought endlessly, blood flowed like a river, and the corpses were looted directly. The excitement and intensity of the fight here far exceeded that of the valley.

Wang Wu tried hard to look at the river surface, but he could hardly see any trace of the patrolling water monster on the river surface that was thousands of meters wide.

He then breathed a sigh of relief, and did not kill those lively fish and shrimps. He just swam slowly to a place about ten meters away from the river bank, waiting for the sunrise.

A few minutes later, a rosy glow rose between heaven and earth, and golden light fell, which was extremely spectacular.

The angle from here is really different from the angle seen in the valley.

Whether it is the South Mountain or the North Mountain, they will not block this place due to their great distance, but at the same time it also makes clear how majestic and towering the great snow-capped mountain in the east is!
It was like a wall between heaven and earth, stretching from north to south.

Yes, you can’t see the end of the north and south at all. All you can see are rolling hills, just like floating clouds in the sky.

It was like a huge wave from the sky destroying the city and a chaotic storm coming.

It's really too high and too oppressive.

Wang Wu had never seen Mount Everest in person when he was back home on Earth, but based on his common sense, the endless snow-capped mountains to the east must be at least 15,000 meters high.

It is really hard to imagine that about one-fifth of the sky is occupied by it.

Then, at this moment, Wang Wu suddenly saw a beam of colorful light rising into the sky from the top of the continuous snow-capped mountains, and then turned into a huge net covering the sky. In a flash, it took away a large amount of golden particles, and then a dazzling light lit up on the snow-capped mountains.

Immediately afterwards, the King of the North Mountain, the King of the South Mountain, and the unknown monster in the east all took action.

No, there are more than these three. Due to the wide view here, Wang Wu vaguely saw at least seven or eight light shadows.

Except for the three closest ones, the rest are very faint and difficult to detect, so the distance between them is at least a thousand miles away.

"Good fellow, it turns out that the big net was released by the super monster from the Great Snow Mountain in the east, not by a human cultivator. Could it be that thousand-year-old monster, the Great Ape King?"

Wang Wu's heart was moved. He had heard of this name from the three old monsters who had passed through. A thousand-year-old monster! Perhaps his strength could be comparable to that of a great cultivator of the Heaven Realm of the human race?

Wang Wu thought about it, but then he couldn't care less because the entire Xijiang area had entered the Purple Gold Three Minutes.

It’s incredible, is this place so rich?

He didn't even have time to dodge before a large amount of golden particles fell down generously and selflessly.

At this moment, the entire river surface was covered with golden glow.

There are so many fish and shrimps, so many golden particles, that it is impossible to tell who is who.

Wang Wu’s level 10 passive stealth was withdrawn immediately. Based on his level spiritual essence, all the golden particles within a radius of meters were swept away by him.

However, due to the wide river and the large plain on the shore, there were no mountains to intercept them in advance, so the golden particles here were much more than those in the valley, so that his crazy absorption did not cause any ripples at all.

In addition, there was another very important reason, which was that the diffuse reflection of the light covered most of him. The fish and shrimps that were close at hand completely ignored Wang Wu's sudden appearance and continued to frantically flutter on the water, splashing water everywhere. Coupled with the diffuse reflection of the sun, the entire river surface seemed to be covered with a layer of golden carpet, which was really spectacular.

It was impossible to tell who absorbed more and who was better, as all the fish and shrimp goblins seemed to be covered in golden light.

This is simply Wang Wu’s chosen place.

He absorbed it to his heart's content. In just one minute, he had gathered 300 points of spiritual energy and could not absorb any more.

Because this is the upper limit of the second level of spiritual essence.

Wang Wu hesitated for a moment, but then caution prevailed. He did not rush to consume his spiritual energy to continue absorbing the golden particles. Instead, he took advantage of the golden light still shining on the surface of the river and the special light and shadow cover of the shimmering golden light to quickly capture those lively fish and shrimps.

This is really too easy. There are just too many of these fish and shrimps, and they are too stupid. They are like possessed and don't care about the danger around them at all. Their IQ is several levels lower than that of the little goblins on land.

In just one minute, Wang Wu swallowed more than a dozen large fish and shrimps in one breath, successfully collecting 700 points of satiety. Then he directly entered the level 10 passive stealth, swam to the cliff under the river bank, and continued to lie dormant.

The result was as he expected. Because there were too many little goblins like fish and shrimp, even though the river was wide and unobstructed and there were many golden particles, in just two minutes, the golden particles decreased by several orders of magnitude. Then, fighting broke out on the river.

Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps, and there are even river patrolling monsters that appear out of nowhere and kill indiscriminately.

In addition, a large number of birds also fly over from the east and west banks of the Xijiang River like lightning. They can catch a fish with a rapid dive on the river.

These included black tits, redbirds, crows, gray magpies, and a dozen eagles that were obviously very small.

This is simply a feast for the eyes.

Wang Wu estimated that in less than two minutes, at least 20,000 to 30,000 little bird goblins rushed out from both banks of the river.

"Is it like this when King Xijiang was still around? Doesn't that count as crossing the line?"

Wang Wu was shocked. With such a hunting method, how many fish and shrimps in the entire West River could withstand such a disaster!
If there are some goblins with good growth potential here and they are directly captured and killed, I guess King Xijiang will not be happy about it.

Of course, the specific truth is not something he can measure. The relationship between King Xijiang and the other three big monsters is obviously good. Maybe they also want to create a four-party ecological linkage system.

But no matter what, one thing is very clear. Ever since the King of Xijiang escaped, he is not the only monster who has set his sights on this place. He thinks this is a temporary no-man's land, and maybe everyone thinks so too.

As the saying goes, great minds think alike.

"Still need to be cautious!"

Wang Wu warned himself secretly before using up all the 300 points of spiritual energy and raising his health to 500 points.

Anyway, he had made up his mind. He would brush the golden particles for one minute every day, and prioritize brushing up the life and stamina to 600 points. If a lot of spiritual energy came in, he would prioritize upgrading the defense. If there was no opportunity, he would prioritize brushing the strength. After brushing up to 30 points, he would upgrade the plant affinity branch bloodline talent.

It is worth mentioning that although this is a branch bloodline talent, the upgrade requirements are quite high, requiring 500 points of spiritual energy to upgrade to the next level.

What follows is a comfortable hibernation.

Wang Wu stayed in the water the whole day and was too lazy to leave the area even to send warmth. It didn't matter.

Only at night would he climb onto the shore to get some fresh air, stretch his muscles, and observe the terrain, trying to familiarize himself with the environment on the banks of the West River as soon as possible.

This is prevention.

It will wait until dawn, then return to the water to hibernate, then absorb the golden particles for one minute, eat a feast of fish and shrimp for one minute, and finally return to its hibernation position before the birds arrive to hunt.

Life is monotonous, but safe, leisurely and happy.

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. Since Wang Wu could gather 700 points of satiety every day, his daily regular growth rate could reach more than 1%.

His original normal growth rate of 70% had smoothly broken through to 80%.

Thus he reached the fourth section of the second growth stage of his life.

All basic attributes are automatically increased: Health +10, Stamina +10, Strength +1, Agility +1, Defense +1, Satiety +50.

In addition, in the past ten days, he gained a total of 3000 points of spiritual energy by absorbing golden particles, and indirectly gained 200 points of spiritual energy by catching fish and shrimp.

Because he had too much spiritual energy, 200 points of it were used to improve his danger perception talent, which just increased it from level 8 to level 10. This is also the upper limit of the current growth stage. If he wants to upgrade further, he needs to enter the next growth stage.

To put it simply, it is like a human child who goes to kindergarten at the age of four and to elementary school at the age of seven, doing things at each stage.

Then, he added 1000 points of spiritual energy to his health points, making a total of 600 points. His current health points had just reached 610 points, which was a very luxurious value. At least it increased Wang Wu's sense of security by +1.
The remaining 2000 points of spiritual energy were all added to his physical strength, increasing it from the original 320 points to 520 points. In addition, the regular growth rate exceeded 80% this time, so his current physical strength has reached 530 points.

This basically means that according to the fastest speed Wang Wu can currently achieve, which is 6 seconds for 100 meters and 60 kilometers per hour as the standard pace, he can run for five kilometers before exhausting all his physical strength.

However, if he adjusted his pace to 8 seconds for 100 meters and 45 kilometers per hour, he could probably run 10 kilometers before running out of energy.

If he continued to lower his pace to 10 seconds for 100 meters and 36 kilometers per hour, he felt that he could run for 100 kilometers continuously without running out of energy, provided that he was well fed, because at this speed, the energy he consumed would not be able to keep up with his recovery.

Of course, the above values are just rough estimates by Wang Wu, and there will definitely be certain errors, so there is no need for him to be too serious about it.

Because he felt that agility and speed were not his main advantages, he did not need to win by speed, and he was not a player with high attack and high agility.

The most important thing is still the basic defense, which has currently reached 36 points and can fully exempt 108 points of damage.

In short, increasing defense, physical strength, health, and strength, and then maxing out various negative resistances, and then living a timid life is the direction of his development.
