The method that Du Feng had taught him was clearly very useful. After a while, he realized that nothing had happened, so Zhuang Pusi stopped panicking. He couldn't help but admire his master's reflexes. If he had fought with the monster at the bottom of the river, it would have been easy for him to break the bone banner.
Now, the bone banner had become thin and soft, like a long fishing line. The monster's tentacles coiled around it, but it couldn't break the bone banner. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhuang Pusi and his generals collected a lot of water from the Black Dragon River. The water in the Black Dragon River was good stuff. It was authentic Second Essence Heavy Water, even better than the First Essence Heavy Water at the bottom of the Nethersea.
It was such a good piece of Second Essence Heavy Water. If there was a chance, he could share some with Fuxi. Because Second Essence Heavy Water was very useful for forging. In particular, during the quenching process, a red-hot weapon could be cooled directly in Second Essence Heavy Water. This was very helpful in increasing the weapon's density and toughness.
Zhuang Pusi still had to be busy for a while, so Du Feng simply put on a bamboo hat and sat cross-legged on the shore. In his hand was a white bone rod and a long gray line. He looked like a fisherman.
The monster at the bottom of the river struggled for a while, but in the end, it felt that there was no point. It couldn't eat anything good, and it couldn't break the monster, so it simply retracted its tentacles. If it had the time, it might as well keep an eye on the Black Dragon Bridge. When new people passed, it might be able to drag a few of them down to eat.
"Senior, are you fishing?"
A few Cloud Capital guards patrolled along the shore. From afar, they saw a person sitting on the shore with something that looked like a fishing rod in his hand. They wondered who was so daring to sit so close to the river. More importantly, the fishing rod in his hand had already reached into the Black Dragon River. Anything that entered the Black Dragon River would be affected by the suction force. There was no exception.
This senior had already reached his fishing rod into the river, yet he could still sit cross-legged without moving. He must be an expert. Thus, the patrolling guards didn't dare to make a fuss. They could only step forward and ask softly. When they stepped forward to take a look, they realized that there really was a fishing line on the fishing rod, and it had already reached into the river.
What kind of joke was this? The suction force in the river was too strong. More importantly, there were terrifying monsters in the Black Dragon River. Even if this senior was not afraid of the suction force, was he not afraid of being dragged down by the monster?
"Since I have nothing better to do, I'm going to catch some fish to eat. Do you guys want to join us?"
Du Feng wore a bamboo hat on his head and a black veil covering his face, pretending to be deep in thought. The structure of the muscles at the throat changed slightly, producing the deep voice of an old man. It sounded even more enigmatic.
"No, no, there's no need. We'll take our leave first."
The patrolling guards were so frightened that they hurriedly left. Fishing in the Black Dragon River was akin to playing with one's life. Speaking of which, the monster in the Black Dragon River was really strange. It never ate the fish in the river and only ate humans.
Almost everyone knew that the youths on the Black Dragon Bridge would be dragged down and eaten. As for the monsters that roamed the outer city every night, eighty percent of them had something to do with the Black Dragon River. It was just that most people didn't want to admit it.
After the patrolling guards left, a legendary story quickly spread. Outside the Cloud Capital, there was an old man fishing by the Black Dragon River. During the process, the fishing rod didn't shake at all, as if it were weightless. What was even more impressive was that he wasn't afraid of the monster in the river at all.
This story became more and more mysterious as it spread. Eventually, it turned into an old man wearing a bamboo hat who came to the Black Dragon River to fish for the monster, saying that he wanted to rid the people of a menace. Because he had waited for so long, he actually fell asleep by the river. The patrolling guards quietly passed by, not daring to disturb the old man. Perhaps in the future, the Cloud Capital wouldn't be troubled by that monster anymore.
Du Feng still didn't know that his story had already spread throughout the outer city of the Cloud Capital. Fortunately, he had covered his face, so he didn't become famous because of this. However, after some effort, the White Bone Banner had finally reached the extreme level. The warlords inside could continue to level up.
The warlords' method of leveling up was different from the White Bone Banner. They couldn't just rely on the Second Essence Heavy Water to level up. There was no point in the White Bone Banner continuing to soak in the Black Dragon River, so Du Feng decided to pull it out. Unexpectedly, the moment he pulled, the White Bone Banner moved a little, and the tentacle wrapped around it again.
The monster at the bottom of the river was also going all out. It had been observing the White Bone Banner this entire time. Because the White Bone Banner hadn't moved, the monster hadn't attacked it. If Du Feng pulled, the White Bone Banner would move, and the monster would immediately wrap its tentacle around it.
Oh my, it's getting stronger! Previously, Du Feng had been afraid that the White Bone Banner would snap if he used too much strength. Now that the White Bone Banner had been upgraded to the extreme level, even an Ultimate Emperor Realm expert wouldn't be able to snap it. Since that was the case, he might as well compete with the monster at the bottom of the river to see who was stronger.
"Thump, thump, thump … …"
Du Feng first ran in the direction of the primordial forest, finding a stable foothold for himself. Then, he ordered Zhuang Bishi to change the shape of the White Bone Banner. The White Bone Banner, which had been a thin thread just a moment ago, suddenly expanded and thickened. Many bone spikes also sprouted from its body, stabbing anyone who touched it.
The monster at the bottom of the river was caught off guard, and its tentacles were pierced. This was the first time it had been injured in such a long time. Even though its soft tentacles were tough enough to strangle a person to death, it was still afraid of sharp spikes. This was because the closer it got, the more vicious the spikes would be. In other words, it was using its own strength to injure itself.
"Get up here!"
Du Feng pulled with all his might, causing the bone spikes on the White Bone Banner to cut through the wound it had just made, causing the monster at the bottom of the river to howl in pain. Originally, it was quite strong, and it could compete with Du Feng. However, the White Bone Banner was covered in sharp spikes. As soon as it was pulled into the White Bone Banner, it would prick its tentacles painfully. If it wasn't pulled tightly, it wouldn't be able to exert any strength.
"Crash!"
The monster at the bottom of the river finally surfaced during the day. Even though its body was transparent, there were traces of blood on its tentacles. Du Feng took this opportunity to get a good look at its shape. It looked like a giant octopus in the sea. It was a mollusk with many tentacles. Su Chen didn't know how many tentacles it had, because not all of them had been injured.
"Asking for a beating!"
Since it was already out of the water, how could Du Feng let go of such a good opportunity? He used the White Bone Banner as a whip and directly lashed it. At this moment, the White Bone Banner was shaped like a thick whip. It was unmoving, but it was covered with sharp bone spikes. This whip directly left a bloody mark on the monster's body.
