Du Feng rolled his eyes at him. He was still thinking about eating at a time like this. If it was any other time, it would be nice to have some turtle meat to eat. But at this moment, danger was everywhere. It was better to be careful.
"Alright, everyone can cut the seaweed. Remember not to stray too far from me."
They were surrounded by long seaweed that stretched from the mud at the bottom of the river to the surface. This thing gave points according to the amount, so under normal circumstances, everyone would cut it from the root. That way, they could get a whole one. And the closer it was to the root, the thicker it was, so it was naturally heavier.
"It's all up to you, handsome!"
Mei 'er didn't do anything. Instead, she followed behind Du Feng. She felt that cutting the seaweed wasn't something she should do. Taking people on missions cost one-tenth of the money. She planned to buy Du Feng's seaweed for one-tenth of the price.
"What are you thinking about? Hurry up and do it yourself."
In the end, before Du Feng could reply, the Pagoda Kung Fu Uncle scolded her. According to the rules of North Shore Immortal City, the mission items had to be collected by oneself. If Du Feng gave it to her, she wouldn't be able to exchange it for points when she returned.
Even if Du Feng was responsible for cutting the algae, Mei'er would have to collect the algae from the river herself and put them in her storage ring or her quest card.
"Hmph, you men are so stingy."
Everyone was busy cutting the seaweed. Mei 'er was the only one who was acting coquettishly. No matter how she squirmed, the two lumps on her chest trembled. The young warrior stared blankly.
"Cutie, why don't you help me cut it and I'll collect it?"
When Mei 'er saw the young warrior's eyes, an idea came to her. She squirmed and swam over to him. However, she was called back by Du Feng after she swam for a while.
"Collect it yourself. Don't stray too far from me."
Twenty-four Blood-Breaking Flying Swords flew out. With a swoosh, a large area of seaweed was cut. Not only could Mei 'er pick it up for free, but the other team members also benefited. Cutting them off one by one and directly collecting them were two different things.
"Hehe, thank you, Brother Du."
The Treasured Pagoda Technique Uncle didn't stand on ceremony and hurriedly stored the severed seaweed into his storage ring. No one was in a hurry to collect the Quest Cards. They wanted to go back and count the number before submitting the Quest Cards.
"Our captain is still the best."
When Mei 'er saw that Du Feng's ability was so strong, she didn't try to seduce the young male martial artist anymore. She followed closely behind him and quickly collected the seaweed. This method lasted for a long time, and everyone collected a lot of algae. However, there was always a limit to the amount of algae in one area, so they would have to move to another area after harvesting this one.
Thus, Du Feng took the lead and went to other places. He arrived at a new algae growing area and was about to harvest the algae again. The young male martial artist felt that it was a bit embarrassing for him to always follow the captain and pick up scraps, so he wanted to show off. He grabbed a thick algae and swung his sword, wanting to cut it.
"Be careful!"
Brother Du shouted and patted the red gourd at his waist. The Blood-Splitting Sword, which had been accumulating power, was unleashed. There was a sizzling sound, as if a sharp dagger had cut a sheet of iron. Looking at the thing in the young male martial artist's hand, it was not a seaweed at all. It was simply a water snake disguised as seaweed.
This water snake's body was dark green, and it was very cunning as it stood upright in the water. Its head was hidden in the mud at the bottom of the river, and its tail floated up naturally, swaying with the waves. It really looked no different from the seaweed.
Fortunately, Du Feng was using the Blood-Splitting Sword. If he had used the Blood-Breaking Flying Sword, he might not have been able to break through the water snake's defense. At least, he wouldn't have been able to do it so quickly. This water snake was at the peak of level-17 Cultivation, and its dark green scales were extremely tough. Now that the Blood-Splitting Sword had cut open a wound, dark green blood flowed out.
"Oh no, everyone, disperse!"
If bright red blood flowed out, it wouldn't be a big deal. It was just a snake that had been killed. But if dark green blood flowed out, it would be wrong, as it was poisonous blood. As long as human skin came into contact with it, they would definitely be poisoned.
The others were fine, as at least they were wearing fully enclosed diving suits. However, Mei 'er, who wanted to show off, was wearing clothes that revealed a large area of her skin. Du Feng grabbed her wrist and flung her far away. Everyone dispersed, and he was the only one who went up to meet the snake.
He reached out with his right hand and grabbed the water snake. Then, no one knew where the water snake went. He put away the water snake's corpse, but at the same time, the venom in the water came into contact with his body.
"Ah, oh no!"
The uncle with the Pagoda Technique screamed, feeling that Du Feng was going to be poisoned.
"Oh no, what should we do?"
Mei 'er was also a little flustered, as Du Feng had pushed her away and went up to meet the snake. If the captain was poisoned, who else would lead everyone to collect seaweed? Just when everyone thought that Du Feng would be poisoned to death, he condensed the venom in front of him into a bead and put it away.
He could do that!
The uncle with the Pagoda Technique stared with his eyes wide open. Not only was Du Feng not poisoned, but he even dared to collect snake venom. How good was his control of water to ensure that the venom did not touch him? Actually, it wasn't just the uncle with the Pagoda Technique who thought so, the others thought so too.
Du Feng must have controlled the surrounding water to isolate the venom, which was why he dared to catch the water snake's corpse and collect the venom. No one thought that he was not afraid of any venom.
"Captain, I'm convinced!"
Previously, the young male martial artist was still somewhat unconvinced, but now he was completely convinced.
"Yes, we're convinced too."
Not only was he convinced, but the others were also convinced. Previously, they only thought that Du Feng's red gourd was powerful, but they didn't expect him to be so good at controlling the water element as well. Now that they were doing a mission in the river, the ability to control the water element basically represented the ability to survive.
"Everyone, be careful. Don't touch the seaweed."
Du Feng was a little embarrassed by everyone's praises. He thought for a while and decided not to let everyone harvest the seaweed themselves. He would use the Blood Breaking Flying Sword to separate them, and everyone would only be responsible for collecting the seaweed. This way, even if there were water snakes lying in ambush, they would be discovered and dealt with in advance.
"Good, good, good. We've followed the right person."
