At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

"General Chu, since the seagull appears every two days, does that mean it won't be back for another two days?"

Mu Yang asked again.

"That's right." Chu Zheng nodded again.

"In that case, why don't we take advantage of this time to go down into the sea and explore? That way, we can deal with any unexpected situations in advance," Mu Yang said.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Zheng was taken aback.

Regardless of whether there are any unusual movements underwater, the seagulls themselves are extremely difficult to deal with.

The opponent was, after all, a demon king who could dabble in both water and air.

He can be a main force in aerial combat, but his combat effectiveness is greatly reduced in underwater combat.

Not only him, but the officers and captains around him also had expressions that said, "Brother, are you still asleep?"

Why take the risk when all we can do is wait?

However, just as Chu Zheng was thinking about what to say, Mu Yang continued, "General Chu, as the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.' The seagull's behavior is so abnormal, there must be a reason."

"As for who will go into business..."

Mu Yang looked around and volunteered, "Since it was my suggestion, I should do it!"

"you?"

Chu Zheng was taken aback. Looking at his overly young yet incredibly resolute face, he felt ashamed.

Mu Yang, despite his young age, dared to forge ahead, while he, having lived for decades, remained hesitant and timid.

I'm really getting old...

Despite his inner turmoil, Chu Zheng shook his head: "No, the situation underwater is unclear, and those seagulls live underwater. It's too dangerous for you to go alone..."

As he spoke, he looked at Mu Yang and said, "I'll go with you!"

Mu Yang smiled and said, "General Chu, rest assured, I know what I'm doing. I can't speak for other things, but my methods for protecting my life are absolutely top-notch."

This is not something he made up.

With a host of advantages, his recovery ability and underwater movement speed are both extraordinary.

When unleashed at full power, its speed is probably even more exaggerated than many seventh-tier aquatic monsters.

"Besides, the Hanging Sea Camp always needs someone to watch over it."

"If the seagull changes its tactics and launches a surprise attack, there could be problems if you're not at the camp," Mu Yang added.

After being persuaded by Mu Yang with both reason and emotion, Chu Zheng nodded in agreement.

"In that case, Brother Mu, please be careful. If you find anything amiss, retreat immediately. I will wait for you at the beach!" Chu Zheng patted Mu Yang on the shoulder and said solemnly.

Mu Yang nodded, turned around and walked out of the camp.

Watching Mu Yang's departing figure, all the captains showed expressions of admiration.

"General, this Mu Xunyu Envoy is truly a man of honor!" exclaimed the bearded captain.

"yes."

Chu Zheng nodded and said in a deep voice, "Pass down the order: strengthen the camp's defenses. No one is allowed to remove their armor for the next two days, to prevent the seagulls from taking advantage of the situation to attack!"

"yes!"

..................

Edge of Xuanhai Peak.

Looking at the surging sea, Mu Yang leaped into the water and plunged into the ocean.

If an ordinary person were to go into the sea, they would have to hold their breath, but Mu Yang's nostrils remained normal, trembling slightly.

Not only is nasal breathing normal, but even the surface of its skin seems to have a breathing function.

............

[Underwater Breathing (Purple): Gain the ability to breathe freely underwater, significantly increasing oxygen uptake. After immersion in water, all parts of the skin can absorb oxygen.]

............

This entry came from where that fourth-tier fish demon got it.

With the entry enhancement feature available, he naturally upgraded it from white to purple.

Not only does it significantly increase oxygen intake, but it also adds the ability to breathe through the skin.

It could be said that, thanks to this entry, Mu Yang felt more comfortable breathing underwater than on the surface.

"Searching for water and searching for the demon!"

Upon arriving underwater in the Canghai Sea, Mu Yang immediately activated the "Water-Seeking and Tracking Technique".

To be honest, there are a lot of monsters in the sea.

He had only been swimming for a quarter of an hour when he spotted a mid-stage fourth-tier fish demon dozing off.

Based on the principle that he had already seen it, he waved his hand casually.

Entry: Water Control!

The soft water flow instantly transformed into a hard iron wall, forcefully crushing the fish demon's head.

..................

[Ding! Detected that the host has slain a fourth-tier fish demon. The equipment "Mountain Dantian Construction Method" has met the conditions for permanent solidification. This equipment has been permanently solidified!]

Current number of available equipment slots: 7

..................

"It's a pity it's only a fourth-tier demon."

Mu Yang withdrew his gaze, manipulated the seawater, and put the fish demon's corpse into his sleeve pocket space, while also putting the "Purple Thunder Dantian Construction Method" into his equipment slot.

Because it was only a fourth-tier martial art, Mu Yang only needed to breathe to digest the small amount of true energy surging from his dantian.

He then continued swimming towards the deeper water.

As they went deeper, the surrounding seawater gradually turned black.

Fortunately, Mu Yang had the Golden Eyes and the ability to sense radio waves, so he could completely ignore the darkness.

"Seaweed, reefs, undercurrents..."

Mu Yang continued to venture deeper, and after an unknown amount of time, a thick, bloody aura suddenly appeared in his senses.

Mu Yang immediately used his water control ability to propel himself to swim quickly.

After some time, a faint blue light suddenly appeared in the originally dark deep sea.

The light wasn't very bright; in fact, it was quite faint. But in the pitch-black depths of the sea, it was undeniably conspicuous.

Mu Yang stared intently.

On the seabed, there was a huge crack.

Within the cracks, streams of a deep blue liquid, far denser than seawater, were constantly gushing out, staining the dark seawater with a touch of deep blue.

[Equipable Item: Earth Dew (Precious Medicine)]

[Rank: Rank 6]

Equipment Effect:

① Tide-Born Body (Blue): Grants the ability to breathe freely in any underwater environment, while greatly increasing the speed of one's cultivation of water-attribute martial arts.

[Permanent fixation conditions: Equip this item for 100 days, or slay any sixth-tier or higher-grade monster while equipping this item.]

"Earth-flowing dew? Precious medicine?"

Mu Yang's eyes lit up.

Although the effect of the Earth's Essence is mediocre and not very useful to him.

However, as an item of all blue quality, it can be used to enhance other Tier 6 equipment.

Unexpectedly, instead of encountering high-level ores, we encountered high-level medicinal herbs.

What a pleasant surprise!

Just as Mu Yang was overjoyed, an even bigger surprise appeared!

As the geyser spewed outwards, a ghostly blue glow illuminated the area around the crack.

The crimson blood mist looked extremely eerie under the eerie blue glow.

As for the source of that blood mist...

Mu Yang scanned his surroundings.

At least a dozen or so mangled demon corpses of various sizes floated in the sea!
