He achieved the pinnacle of martial arts starting with breaking through the limits of Tiger Fist.

The small boat sped through the fog, and Jiang Lin could clearly sense that Senior Brother Li was uncomfortable.

This discomfort does not stem from fear, but rather from a natural resistance to unfamiliar environments. Moreover, in a vast swamp, one cannot see far into the distance, making it easy for people to feel anxious and uneasy.

"Junior brother, how do you manage to stay oriented while fishing all these years?"

How can I tell you the truth about that question?

"First of all, there's the water flow. Don't be fooled by the fact that there's no difference on the surface; there are actually undercurrents. Over time, you'll be able to figure out some of the patterns."

Secondly, there are many islands in the swamp; using these islands as coordinates, one can at least roughly determine their location.

Jiang Lin rambled on, even though just over half a year ago, he didn't dare to enter the foggy area.

"The ship can't go too deep now. Since you've been ordered to explore, do you have any plans?"

Li Changfeng wasn't in a hurry. Since he couldn't go to the inner part of the Great Swamp, it would be good to just wander around the outer area.

The sect's mission didn't specify anything; they only told him to keep an eye on the situation in Yunmengze and try to detect any unusual activity.

"Junior brother, please feel free to do as you please. I'll accompany you to familiarize myself with the surrounding terrain."

Familiar with the environment and terrain?

You can't see anything beyond thirty paces, how can you be familiar with the terrain? Besides, where is there terrain on the water?

You've already read my message, so you're just replying randomly?

Jiang Lin shook his head, not intending to meddle in other people's business. He was there to fish for resources, and he didn't want to hear about the affairs of the major sects, nor did he dare to.

Although Jiang Lin obtained three more bottles of pills from the skinny monkey, it was still far from enough.

If you want to quickly improve your cultivation level, the more pills you have, the better.

Jiang Lin began navigating the boat around the nearby islands, occasionally stopping to dip his hand into the water.

He encountered several treasure fish during this time, but he did not make a move on them.

Through continuous exploration, he has gradually come to understand the meaning of the different colors in the "Waterway Map".

Different colors indicate different grades of treasure fish, with green being the lowest, followed by blue and purple.

Since there are top experts on board, we should make good use of them.

After traveling for more than an hour, passing several deserted islands, Jiang Lin finally stopped the boat.

According to the information from the "waterway map", a dark blue mass was lying motionless among the reefs thirty meters below the ship.

This creature doesn't have a wide range of activity, and based on its movement patterns, Jiang Lin easily found its hiding place.

The place was near a deserted island, and the water depth wasn't excessively deep, but Jiang Lin was somewhat dissatisfied with the color.

There was nothing he could do about it; he had no bait and was at a loss when it came to catching the treasure fish in the deep water.

The treasure fish near the shallow waters are mostly of low level. Since he obtained the "Waterway Map", he has only found traces of purple treasure fish in the reef area a very few times.

"Junior brother, what is this?"

Seeing Jiang Lin take the "Hemp-Clad Guest" out of the cloth bag, Li Changfeng asked with a strange expression.

"Um?"

Jiang Lin looked at the expression on Senior Brother Li's face and keenly sensed that something was amiss.

"Senior brother, do you recognize this?"

Li Changfeng shook his head in denial, his face showing signs of constipation.

lie!

Jiang Lin remained calm and probed, "This is called fragrant bait, used to lure treasure fish."

As he spoke, Jiang Lin grabbed a handful of water and threw it into the water. Then he steered the boat toward the deserted island, throwing a few more handfuls along the way. When they reached a shallow beach that was half a person deep, he poured out about half a bag of water.

After packing the remaining half bag of "Ma Yi Ke" (a type of local liquor), Jiang Lin went ashore and secured the boat.

They called out to Senior Brother Li, and the two went behind a large rock to conceal themselves.

The book records that ordinary fish will avoid the "fragrant bait," but powerful treasure fish will be attracted to it.

As for whether it was nonsense, Jiang Lin didn't know, and he was even more unaware of the underlying principles.

About 15 minutes later, bubbles began to rise from the water in the distance, slowly moving in the direction in which the bait had been thrown by Jiang Lin.

As the water level rose higher, the creatures in the water gradually came into view.

"Azure armor and green turtle".

Jiang Lin said in a low voice, "I'll handle things myself later. Senior brother will cover for me. You don't need to take action unless it's dangerous."

Jiang Lin hadn't been able to test his combat strength in his previous battle with the knife-wielder, so now that the opportunity was right, he wanted to test it again.

The "Azure-Armored Turtle" appears in the "Waterway Map" with a deep blue color, and it should be at the top among the treasure fish and water beasts of this tier.

He wanted to see if he could complete the hunt independently without Senior Brother Li's help.

Li Changfeng couldn't help him forever, so he had to clearly understand his limits to avoid getting involved with the wrong people one day.

Seeing Li Changfeng nod, Jiang Lin quickly took out his bow and arrows.

This bow has an even more exaggerated design, standing up to Jiang Lin's chest height.

Made entirely of black iron, with a bowstring as thick as a thumb, and equipped with specially made armor-piercing arrows, it looked particularly ferocious.

Slouch, prepare to draw the bow, and pull it to its fullest extent.

At this moment, half of the "Azure-Armored Turtle" was exposed above the water, its blue shell gleaming with a clear light, and it looked incredibly hard.

Suddenly, a loud bang came from the beach.

A thick, swift shadow shot towards them.

Jiang Lin, who was on the shore, did not check the result. He immediately drew an arrow and drew his bow again.

The previous arrow, accompanied by a whistling sound, pierced the left eye of the "Azure Turtle with Azure Armor," causing the entire eye stalk to explode.

As excruciating pain struck, "Azure-armored Turtle" let out a silent roar, and with a quick scan of its right eye, it spotted Jiang Lin's trail.

This thing is indeed ferocious. Even with one eye injured, it didn't try to escape; instead, it accelerated towards the shore.

Jiang Lin exhaled and spoke, and the second arrow arrived as expected.

"Clang!"

The arrow aimed at the second eye struck the claw, producing a metallic clang, and was sent flying far away with a trail of sparks.

Seeing that the third arrow was too late, Jiang Lin decisively put down his bow and arrow, clenched his fists (wearing gauntlets), and charged forward fiercely.

This thing was quite large, about the size of a dining table, and when it stood upright, it wasn't much shorter than Jiang Lin. It also moved very quickly on the beach.

The two sides clashed and quickly closed in.

"Azure-armored Turtle" raised its pincers from afar, then brought them close and smashed them down at Jiang Lin.

"Ha, a beast is a beast, as if you're afraid I won't know which hand you're using to attack."

Having anticipated this, Jiang Lin twisted his body, circled to its left, and delivered a powerful punch to its side.

With a muffled "thud," the swirling force penetrated the crab's shell, causing it to stagger, and Jiang Lin himself was also knocked back a step.

The shell is indeed thick. It's fortunate that Jiang Lin used his fist; if it were a regular sword, the damage would be even lower.

Because he was knocked back, Jiang Lin missed his chance to launch a counterattack and was caught off guard by the crab.

"Azure-armored Turtle" adjusted its posture and attacked with its pincers again.

Jiang Lin used the same trick again, activating "Shadow Tiger Chasing the Wind" and throwing several punches at the crab's left side.

The sounds of "bang bang" continued to ring out.

This thing only knows one move over and over again. When it encounters a cunning person like Jiang Lin, it can't even touch a hair on his head.

Another round of punches and kicks ensued, and Jiang Lin was puzzled; this guy was too resilient.

After dozens of punches, the crab was swaying from side to side, but Jiang Lin himself was also shaken and dizzy.

"We can't drag this out any longer; we have to deliver a decisive blow."

Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Lin unleashed a powerful punch.

"White Tiger Breaks the Army"

The killing fist, carrying a violent force, struck the heavy turtle's armor, lifting the "Azure Turtle" twice before it crashed to the ground.

Jiang Lin himself was shaken by the immense force, taking seven or eight steps before collapsing to the ground with a thud, his mouth tasting of blood.

"Azure-armored Turtle" got up and staggered towards the water, apparently intending to escape.

Jiang Lin forced himself to stand up, but before he could catch his breath, he slumped back down.

Just as Jiang Lin was feeling anxious and helpless as his prey was about to run into the water.

A figure gracefully descended, dressed in white, exuding elegance and grace.

Li Changfeng made his move.
