The next day.

Chen Sheng woke up early.

He looked at Zhou Li's bed and found that it was gone.

It just so happened that at this time,

The smell of rice wafted from the window.

He took a deep breath, and a feeling of hunger suddenly felt in his belly.

Picking up toiletries, Chen Sheng came to the river to prepare to wash up.

He scooped up a glass of water and prepared to rinse his mouth first.

however

Poof-

As soon as the water entered the mouth, it squirted out.

"it!!"

Chen Sheng bared his teeth, only to feel that his teeth were sour.

The water was far colder than the water of the waterfall.

As soon as he entered his mouth, Chen Sheng only felt that his brain was about to freeze.

"Hahahaha."

Seeing this scene,

Zhou Li, who was not far away, laughed heartily, and his voice was very tough.

He had slept from yesterday afternoon until morning, and his spirits seemed to be much better.

Chen Sheng glanced at him and was silent.

Just scooped up a glass of water from the river again, got up and prepared to walk towards Zhou Li.

See this,

Zhou Li's laughter suddenly stopped.

"There's something to say."

"I can't afford to be destroyed like this by you."

Zhou Li pressed his hand and signaled Chen Sheng to be calm.

He lifted the kettle beside him.

"Wash with this."

This is the water he boiled when he got up in the morning.

The river water is cold and biting, but fortunately, it can be drunk and washed after boiling.

Chen Sheng took the kettle, and after washing, he sat down by the fire.

In the iron pot, the white porridge was bubbling, and the aroma he smelled just now came from here.

On the ground next to it, there are also fried eggs and mustard vegetables.

Chen Sheng scooped a bowl of porridge for himself and ate it with mustard and fried eggs.

"Old man."

During the meal, Chen Sheng suddenly spoke.

"You haven't thought to investigate the strange source of this river?"

The river that surrounds Zhoujia Village is cold and biting, and its weight is far beyond the ordinary.

And the closer you get downstream, the worse it gets.

Today's Chen Sheng has long adapted to the flow of water at the upper end of the waterfall.

But the water just now entered his mouth, and he was still caught off guard.

"Of course I am, I'm not stupid."

Zhou Li looked at Chen Sheng with a strange expression and said as a matter of course.

"Otherwise, how do you think my illness came about?"

"More than a decade ago, I have explored every corner of the bottom of this river."

"Nothing."

Hear this,

A picture suddenly appeared in Chen Sheng's mind.

This old man, who is not even an angry person, jumps into this icy and heavy river again and again, trying to find the truth about the death of his loved one.

But again and again in vain, he finally fell ill and died soon.

He was silent.

For a moment, neither of them spoke again.

But in Chen Sheng's heart, he was thinking silently.

With his current attributes, he should barely be able to stay in the river for a few minutes when he turns on the breathing state, and it won't have any effect.

Now that the high tide season has arrived, there may be new clues at the bottom of the river.

Chen Sheng planned to wait for today's workout to be over, and then go to the bottom of the river to investigate.

You might find some new clues.

Thinking of this,

Chen Sheng got up and began to clean up the mess.

Zhou Li began to select herbs to boil with the elixir in his luggage.

Ten minutes later.

"What are you doing?"

Chen Sheng was preparing to go to the top of the waterfall.

He glanced at Zhou Li, who was standing beside him, who was closing his eyes and doing psychological construction, and asked with a strange expression.

"I'll go up and cook you elixir soup!"

"This thing doesn't have the right heat, and it doesn't work so well."

"And the medicinal materials that are matched with this are also particular, such as this medicinal herb is cold, and you exercise in the water"

"Stop!"

Zhou Li babbled, and before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Chen Sheng.

"I wanted to say it yesterday."

"Why don't you cook under here, and then call me down when you're ready, so that you have to go up to suffer?"

“.”

As soon as Chen Sheng's words came out.

Zhou Li's expression froze instantly.

He opened his mouth, as if trying to explain.

But I couldn't spit out a word for a long time.

"You shouldn't. I didn't even think about this stubble, did I? ”

Chen Sheng's pupils were slightly shocked.

Yesterday he thought that the old man had something unspeakable, or something else.

Dare to be affectionate is simply a brain that can't turn around??

"Ahem."

Zhou Li coughed dryly, pretending to pour water into the iron pot as if nothing had happened, and prepared to start boiling the elixir.

Seeing that Chen Sheng was still standing in place, he looked at him with a smile.

The little old man's eyes widened.

"What to see?!"

"Why don't you hurry up and practice!"

"When the time comes, you will be beaten at the martial arts meeting, don't blame the old man for pretending not to know you."

Wen Yan,

Chen Sheng shrugged.

forthwith

He quickly entered the breathing state.

After a few jumps, you will reach the top of the waterfall.

Tie the ropes.

This time, Chen Sheng didn't immediately jump towards the stone where he practiced yesterday.

Today, the property has increased by nearly half compared to yesterday.

He felt like he could try a little further down.

I watched it for a few minutes.

soon

Chen Sheng aimed at a stone platform in the middle of the waterfall.

The reason why it is called a stone platform is because the surface of this stone is flat, and the space is much larger than the place where Chen Sheng practiced yesterday.

There was no hesitation.

Locking on the target, Chen Sheng jumped down.

Syllable!

He successfully stood on the stone platform.

The heavy water instantly covered his body, pressing Chen Sheng to a stumbling side.

Fortunately, he adjusted his breathing in time and stabilized his figure.

Standing on the stone platform,

The gravity and cold carried by the water flow are much stronger than above.

But Chen Sheng only adjusted for a few minutes, and he was already adapted.

He immediately took a posture and began to practice the eagle body breathing method.

Time flies.

Soon it was noon.

During this period, Chen Sheng stayed in the waterfall except for drinking elixir soup on the bank of the river.

fortunately

The effect of the exercise is also very remarkable.

【Chen Sheng】

[Strength: 14.1]

[Dexterity: 14.9]

[Constitution: 14.1]

[Skill Point: 15.1]

[Eagle Body Breathing Lv2: 179/20000]

Increases Strength and Constitution by 1.5 each

Agility is increased by 1.6

Although it is not as much as the improvement when I broke through the Eagle Body Breathing Method yesterday.

But Chen Sheng had expected it.

Today is less than halfway through.

In the evening, tomorrow morning at the latest.

He was able to improve the breathing method again, and with the cooperation of the elixir, his strength leaped again.

At this point,

Zhou Li was cooking by the fire.

Chen Shenggang practiced all morning, and also wanted to relax a little before continuing to exercise in the afternoon.

When he had nothing to do, he went to the river and put his hand into the water.

The icy chill crept up his arm.

Even though Chen Sheng had already been mentally prepared, his body was still subconsciously excited.

"Suck-"

Take a deep breath.

Chen Sheng's body swelled rapidly.

On top of the panel, the three attributes instantly skyrocketed by one-third, reaching an average of eighteen points.

"Whew-"

Chen Sheng let out a long breath.

The cold that pervades all around me no longer seems to be so unbearable.

He put his feet in again.

Half an hour later.

Under Chen Sheng's repeated attempts,

He managed to calculate how long he could stay in the river at his current physical strength.

Five minutes.

This is an absolutely safe point in time.

During this time, no matter what the situation encountered, Chen Sheng was able to quickly return to the shore.

Beyond this time, he may have a lack of physical strength or loss of calories, which may lead to various crises in which his movement slows down.

The test is complete.

Chen Sheng squatted by the river and thought.

Truth be told,

He was also a little curious about the affairs of Zhoujia Village.

What happened when the time came, and the whole village could drown without the power to resist, without the slightest water stain around them.

The more Chen Sheng thought about it, the more curious he became.

Eventually, he gritted his teeth slightly.

It's decided!

Don't go into the water today!

Wait for the breathing method to break through the third layer first.

Curiosity is curiosity.

Chen Sheng's life principle is not to fight unprepared battles.

In the face of the enemy, if you can crush it, you will never engage in equal strength.

It's the same with things.

Five minutes is still too short for Chen Sheng.

At least he had to wait until he could fully adapt to the cold and pressure under the water.

Thinking of this,

Chen Sheng put away his thoughts and returned to the fire to have lunch with Zhou Li.

"Stinky boy, don't fool me."

During the meal, Zhou Li warned Chen Sheng.

He also saw Chen Sheng's actions during the test.

"The people of Zhoujia Village are dead, and I have seen it for so many years."

"But if your kid dies, I'll have to slap myself twice when I wake up in the middle of the night."

As soon as he heard this, Chen Shengle was happy.

"Old man, I didn't expect that with your virtue, I would feel guilty because I died?"

"Not really."

"The main thing is that I regret knowing such a bastard boy as you, for fear that you will harm me and lose my merit and affect reincarnation."

“.”

"I bet you will be reincarnated as a cockroach in your next life."

"Okay, you little bastard—"

After a lot of noise, the two ended their lunch.

Zhou Li went back to the wooden house for a nap.

Chen Sheng rested for a while, and then went to the waterfall again, unwilling to let go of a little time for cultivation.

Over time.

The sky is clothed in a coat of glow.

The remnant sun gradually recedes into the horizon.

Chen Sheng was still cultivating in the middle of the Sun Waterfall, trying to upgrade his breathing method earlier.

"Huh?"

suddenly

Chen Sheng's eyes froze.

The farsightedness effect brought by the eagle body breathing method allows him to clearly see the scene hundreds of meters away.

At this moment, he could see clearly.

In the distance, in the woods, where there should be no living creatures, two black shadows were constantly shuttling between the trees, approaching this direction at a very fast speed.

Is it human?

Still is

Before the black shadow approached, Chen Sheng stopped his movements.

Whoop -

He jumped to the edge of the cliff in an instant, crouching on the ground and observing the situation.
