Niu Er was too funny. He said that he was not carrying the silt to earn points, but to protect the saltwater lake. He even called the saltwater lake Hometown Lake.
Du Feng didn't believe it at first, but when he saw Niu Er's persistent eyes, he had to believe it. This strong young man really wanted to protect the environment of the saltwater lake, so he got two large iron buckets to carry silt from the bottom of the lake. Exercising in this way could not only purify the environment, but also earn a certain amount of points.
"Okay, then I'll protect Hometown Lake with you."
"However, I have a condition. Can you see if my sword can be upgraded again?"
Du Feng first promised to protect Hometown Lake, which made Niu Er very happy. But then he took out his Dragon Riding Sword and asked Niu Er to see if there was any good way. The Dragon Riding Sword was now a mid-grade innate magic weapon, so it was no longer enough. Niu Er was a blacksmith. Since he could make such strong iron buckets, he might really have a way.
"Use salt!"
Niu Er replied casually, and Du Feng almost didn't know what to say.
Use what? Upgrading a weapon with salt? Are you kidding me? But then again, Niu Er wouldn't talk nonsense, and the salt in Salt Lake City was indeed a little different.
"How do I use it?"
Du Feng was more and more interested in Niu Er, the blacksmith.
"If you can beat me, I'll tell you."
Well, everyone said that Niu Er was honest, but he was also good at keeping people in suspense. If he wanted to learn how to upgrade the Dragon Riding Sword, he had to accompany him to carry silt, and he had to beat him.
"Okay, a man never goes back on his word. It's a deal."
Du Feng quickly agreed when he heard that they had a good relationship. Secret recipes like this were actually not something that others were willing to tell others. It was already a great honor for Niu Er to help upgrade a weapon. How could he tell you the method?
Just like that, the two of them carried two large metal buckets and walked towards the lakeside in a grandiose manner.
"Niu Er, you're going crazy again. You've almost dug all the silt from the bottom of the lake."
"Yeah, we don't have any points to earn."
On the way, the neighbors saw it and all joked with Niuer. Because carrying silt was hard and tiring work, the locals were not willing to do it at all. But Niuer was always happy to go to the bottom of the lake to dig out the silt. In order to protect Hometown Lake, he did put in a lot of effort.
"Aiyo, who is this little brother? He looks so fair and tender. Don't tell me he's going to pick mud with you? Why don't you come to my place? I'll give him some points. "
The women, with their children, made jokes on a larger scale. They looked at Du Feng, who had delicate skin and looked handsome. He was also wearing a snow-white gown, which was completely out of place with the two black iron buckets on his shoulders.
"This is my new friend. He wants to compete with me in mud picking."
Niuer was really honest. He enthusiastically introduced Du Feng to everyone. Frankly speaking, Du Feng was quite embarrassed. He had originally wanted to keep a low profile. But he didn't expect to be surrounded by the villagers.
"Who can pick mud better than you? Niuer, don't cheat us."
The villagers were right. In the saltwater lake, without the help of items such as storage rings, no one could do the work better than him. After all, the rough work of picking mud did not rely on swordsmanship or magic, but pure brute force.
"Hmph, as long as you know."
Niuer liked it when people said that. He liked to show his pure strength. He didn't know if Du Feng could bring him a surprise this time.
"I'll count to three, and we'll go into the water together. We'll only come up when we're full. Whoever carries two buckets of mud to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion first wins. How about that? "
After coming to the lake, Niuer also set a simple rule, which Du Feng understood as soon as he heard it. But there was a problem. He didn't know where the City Lord's Mansion was. To put it bluntly, he didn't know the way.
"Hey, I thought it was a big deal. The City Lord's Mansion is eight blocks ahead of the Mission Hall."
To be fair, Niuer introduced the situation to Du Feng. There was a big pit in front of the City Lord's Mansion, and all the mud they dug could be dumped there. Points would naturally be calculated according to the amount poured.
"Okay, you can start counting."
Du Feng understood, so he stopped talking and let Niuer start counting. When he counted to three, the two jumped into the saltwater lake together.
Oh, this Niuer was really cunning. He didn't jump directly into the water, but he jumped into the lake because the water was deeper and there was more mud at the bottom. If he went into the water from the shore, he would have to swim for a long time to reach the area of mud.
It seemed that he had been fooled. Du Feng thought that Niuer was silly, but it turned out that he was not so silly. If he swam in stupidly, it would waste too much time. So he simply returned to the shore, looked at the place where Niuer had just landed, and jumped out with both legs.
Du Feng's body movement was still relatively strong. When he reached the middle of the lake, his body suddenly turned and plunged into the lake like a water bird. The two large iron buckets, with great inertia, also smashed into the lake. His body sank quickly. In order to save time, he only used the Water Avoidance Technique and did not use the True Elemental Shield. Because the resistance of that thing was too great, it was inconvenient to move.
Good heavens, Niuer sank straight to the bottom of the lake like a weight. Fortunately, Du Feng's speed was not slow. With his diving speed and the falling force of the two iron buckets, he gradually caught up with Niuer in front of him.
"Hey, you came quite fast."
There was no way to open his mouth to speak in the lake, so Niuer transmitted his voice to Du Feng's ear with a secret language.
"You're really cunning. Don't play tricks later."
Du Feng also used a secret language to reply to Niuer.
"All's fair in war. If you lose, I won't teach you."
Unexpectedly, Niuer didn't fall for this trick at all. It seemed that he had other methods that he hadn't exposed. This stinking brat, his desire to win was quite strong.
"Don't worry, I will make you hand over all your unique skills."
After saying this, Du Feng's body swayed like a fish, which was the beauty of the Dragonfish Body Movement. Although it was a little outdated on land, it still had a great advantage in the water. His whole person was like a human-shaped fish, sinking quickly with the swing of his waist. His speed was getting faster and faster, and he was about to surpass Niuer.
"Oh, how can you do this?"
