Chapter 155: Flying Sword Technique

In the valley’s saltwater lake, there were all kinds of different Fish Monsters. These Fish Monsters had only one common characteristic: they all had fish eggs inside their bodies.

All different Fish Monsters were crowded together in one small lake, yet they did not fight each other. This was a very strange thing. Whether it was the parasitized Insect Humans, the mutated monsters from Earth’s creatures, or the strangely shaped Alien Invaders that invaded Earth—as long as they were not from the same group, it was impossible for them to coexist peacefully like this.

Most of them had their own territories. If other types of monsters entered their territory, a war would break out. But in this small saltwater lake, there were dozens of different Fish Monsters that Xu Feng saw.

It seemed as if all the egg-laying Fish Monsters had gathered here.

Each Fish Monster had a large number of fish eggs inside its body, making their bellies bulge. But when killed, they only dropped one or two eggs that could be hatched. However, if the Gathering Art was used, fish eggs could still be collected from the Fish Monster’s corpse. But such eggs could only be used as ingredients and could not hatch into pets.

Over two days, Xu Feng hunted dozens of Fish Monsters. What Luo Jing did was to prepare lure potions and set traps, assisting Xu Feng in his attacks.

During these two days, Luo Jing also replaced his bow with a Three-Star Silver Quality longbow, which greatly increased his attack power. If there was open terrain, Luo Jing now felt confident enough to hunt Three-Star monsters alone. But here, it was different. The valley was narrow, and once they retreated into the narrow path, those Fish Monsters would immediately stop their attacks and turn away. No matter how they shot or lured, it was useless. Unless they went into the saltwater lake to hunt, which would be a sure way to die. Therefore, Xu Feng remained the main hunter.

System: Your skill “Basic Swordplay” has been upgraded to MAX. The power of sword-type weapons increased by 30%, and sword drawing speed increased by 30%.

Finally, one day, Xu Feng heard the System’s notification sound in his ear. His skill, Basic Swordplay, had reached the highest level and could no longer be upgraded.

“We’ve hunted quite a few fish eggs. Should we go back?” Luo Jing asked tentatively.

Over these two days, they had hunted nearly a hundred Fish Monsters in total and obtained almost a hundred and sixty fish eggs.

Xu Feng glanced at the fish eggs and Beast Crystals in his Virtual Backpack and smiled slightly. If not for Luo Jing’s strange looks, Xu Feng would have wanted to leave long ago.

His purpose for coming here was to obtain some piranha eggs to place in Sweetwater Lake as Guardians. But over these two days, although they hunted many Fish Monsters, no piranhas appeared. Naturally, they could not obtain piranha eggs.

But Xu Feng obtained fish eggs that were even better than piranha eggs.

“Item Name: Ironclad Crocodragon Turtle Egg. Attribute: After use, it can hatch one Three-Star Elite Ironclad Crocodragon Turtle.”

Xu Feng obtained three such fish eggs. After hatching, each dragon turtle was over ten meters in size, comparable to a giant beast. Three of them could fill Sweetwater Lake completely. At least before upgrading to a city-level Camp, Sweetwater Lake would not need any other creatures to guard it.

Additionally, Xu Feng also obtained one Three-Star Elite mutated shark egg, two Three-Star Elite swordfish eggs, and one Three-Star Elite long-necked snakefish egg.

The rest were mostly ordinary fish eggs, which Xu Feng gave to Luo Jing.

Roar!

Another Three-Star Elite spinefish monster, about seven to eight meters long, fell to the ground.

Two fish eggs and one Fate Treasure Chest.

Xu Feng looked at the fish eggs for a moment, then tossed them to Luo Jing. He casually opened the Treasure Chest himself. A dark golden glow shone brightly as the lid was lifted.

Xu Feng sighed inwardly.

Over the past two days, whenever good items were obtained, the greedy look in Luo Jing’s eyes grew stronger. Several times, Xu Feng could detect a hint of killing intent in Luo Jing’s eyes.

This time, the Dark Gold Quality item would surely be the last straw that broke the camel’s back. No one knew when the arrow in Luo Jing’s hand would shoot into Xu Feng’s back.

Skill Card?

Xu Feng frowned slightly and pulled out a Dark Gold Quality Skill Card from the Treasure Chest.

Flying Sword Technique!

Xu Feng was overjoyed inwardly—it was actually a sword technique.

“Skill Name: Flying Sword Technique (Beginner); Skill Attribute: Active Skill, permanently mastered; Skill Type: Auxiliary Attack; Skill Effects: 1. Can attack any target within thirty meters, attack speed increased by 30%, damage increased by 25%, Energy Value consumption reduced by 40%; 2. Can ride a sword to fly, consuming 50 points of Energy Value per second during flight, flight speed 800; Learning Condition: Sword-class professional!”

Xu Feng could not help but reveal a joyful smile on his face and eagerly used this Skill Card.

This was a skill that all sword-class professionals could use, but it matched Xu Feng the most because he possessed a Flying Sword.

Originally, Xu Feng’s attacks simply used Sword Element True Qi to control objects. Not only was the energy consumption very high, but it could only be used within a three-meter range around him. Once it exceeded this range, the consumption of Sword Element True Qi would increase exponentially. A single strike could even deplete all of Xu Feng’s Energy Value.

But with the Flying Sword Technique, Xu Feng’s attack range expanded tenfold, giving him medium-range attack capability. Additionally, there were bonuses to attack speed and damage.

Moreover, Xu Feng could briefly ride his sword to fly. Based on Xu Feng’s current Energy Value, if it were full, he could fly for about thirty seconds. With a flight speed of 800, it far surpassed any mount. Even if someone obtained a flying mount in the future, they would not be able to catch up to Xu Feng in a short time. Whether chasing enemies or escaping, it was an excellent method.

Xu Feng glanced back at Luo Jing. At this time, Luo Jing’s equipment had also been upgraded. All Hunter equipment went to Luo Jing, along with a rapid-fire Hunter Skill Card. Now, even if Xu Feng left, Luo Jing felt confident enough to hunt here alone and obtain fish eggs.

Checking the time, Nuwa Town’s city defense battle was today, in just over two hours. Xu Feng prepared to stop. His goal had been achieved. In Xu Feng’s view, the city defense battle was an easy gain. He had not yet accepted the city defense mission, and time was a bit tight.

“Luo Jing, I’m preparing to leave. Nuwa Town’s city defense battle is today, and I need to participate,” Xu Feng said.

Luo Jing’s heart tightened, and his hand holding the longbow trembled. He looked up at Xu Feng, forcing a smile on his face as he said, “Why so soon? The Fish Monsters here are endless. We can get fish eggs and improve our strength. Why not stay a few more days…”

Xu Feng shook his head with a smile. Currently, Luo Jing could barely hunt Three-Star Fish Monsters alone here. As long as he did not provoke Three-Star Elite or Four-Star Strength Fish Monsters, it would be fine. Moreover, recently, the way Luo Jing looked at him had become increasingly strange. Wealth tempts the heart, and in the end, it was inevitable that the two would have a big fight.
