Tang Chen held the black insect beetle and looked at it over and over again.

The raw material used by the beetle is the shell on the back of the black beetle, and the remains of the black beetle are only the pair of shells that are relatively large and the shape is relatively regular. It was impossible to directly use threads to string insect shells, Tang Chen simply took out a set of clothes, relying on the clothes, and pulled out the thread rope from the broken robe, so that the insect shells were stably attached to the clothes, and in order to weave this insect beetle, thousands of black beetle shells were used.

His armor-making ability was obviously far less powerful than that of refining weapons, and the insect armor had no beauty to speak of.

Tang Chen is a pragmatist and doesn't care about this.

He grinned and put the beetle on his body, except for his head, hands and feet, his entire body was protected by the beetle. Tang Chen moved his body carefully, the weight of the insect beetle was extremely light, and it had almost no effect on his movements, and the light and thin shells were pressed one by one, and the layers were like one. When encountered, the energy is dispersed over a wider area, reducing the damage to the body caused by the impact.

He walked to the edge of the pond, grabbed the second-generation rattan coat and wrapped it around his body, and then jumped into the pond with ease.

The results of the test made Tang Chen very satisfied.

After the energy of the impact was weakened by the rattan clothes, it was absorbed by the carapace when it reached the insect beetle, and the rest of the energy was not directly applied to Tang Chen's body. The dense linkage structure of the insect beetle quickly spread the energy, and when it finally acted on Tang Chen's body, the impact that was originally fatal was no different from tickling. Tang Chen drifted nearly 300 meters in the dark river, hitting no less than 100 times, and was basically unharmed.

Insect beetle protection is very strong!

The reason why it is basic is because there are some minor injuries to the exposed hands, feet, and head.

This made Tang Chen realize that it was necessary to get himself another insect beetle hat to at least protect his head. As for whether to get a pair of gloves or socks, Tang Chen thought about it or gave up, the future of rafting in the dark river was uncertain, he needed to keep his hands and feet flexible and respond to various situations at any time.

Insect beetles and rattan clothes basically solve the most fatal protection problems, and a large number of small gourds can prolong the survival time in the water. The two core problems have been solved, and Tang Chen is relieved. He continued to prepare methodically, imagining all kinds of problems that might be encountered in the dark river, and trying to solve them one by one.

The beetle hat is finished!

Tom Jr.'s beetle is finished!

The gourd of the rattan coat may break after many impacts, Tang Chen climbed to the cliff wall to cut the new vine again, and punched a large number of [solid] formations into each gourd, ready to use it again when he officially escaped!

Little Tom was afraid of water, and he didn't have the dexterity to unscrew the gourd for ventilation, how to make it support in the water longer was a problem that Tang Chen had to face. He didn't dare to pin his hopes on himself, in case of an emergency, he would probably not be able to take care of the little one. After thinking about it, he decided to find a material with good water insulation performance to create a temporary shelter, which had to be a confined space, in which the kitten would not suffocate for a short time, and not let it soak directly in the water could also alleviate the little one's fear.

Considering the power of the impact in the dark river, the confined space may be destroyed, and the kitten is likely to panic in the water, and in the panic, he will reach out his claws to give himself a few more times...... No matter how strong the insect beetle is, it can't stop Little Tom's evil claws, and Tang Chen believes that it is necessary to conduct special training for the kitten to improve its ability to resist pressure.

The training is simple: let it go into the water.

Under coercion and temptation, Little Tom had to accept Tang Chen's arrangement and go into the water with Tang Chen.

The little one, with great perseverance, overcame his natural fear of water, and gradually adapted to grabbing the head of the stick with his front paws and leaving it on the surface of the water, and a more severe test ensued: a certain bad-hearted fellow, suddenly and undeclared, pressed its head into the water...... Of course, the bad guy was punished, and when Tom struggled desperately, the paws wouldn't spare anyone.

The kitten that was fished up sneezed for a long time.

The little guy was lying on the ground weakly, his belly rising and falling rapidly, his eyes were scattered, and he looked at Tang Chen in confusion.

"Come with me, it's likely that you'll fall into the water halfway, and I want you to get used to it in advance. ”

"Don't subconsciously open your mouth after falling into the water, or you'll be full, just like now. ”

"Be quiet first, don't panic, I'll ...... next to you"

"Tom, if I haven't reacted after falling into the water, don't hesitate, immediately find a way to save yourself, you can climb on top of me......"

"You have to learn to hold your breath in the water, and you have to learn to breathe with a gourd. That doesn't have to happen, but we should be prepared, right?"

"I'll help you unscrew the lid of the gourd, you just need to hold the gourd tightly with your mouth and breathe...... You may not be used to it at first, but you can do it, you're so smart......"

"You've got to hold on, there's a lot of food out there when we get out of here, there's a lot of food out there that you haven't seen before, and rabbit meat is nothing!"

The motivating effect of food on Little Tom is amazing, and the training continues, and he keeps improving. The little one was very smart, he understood the necessity of special training, and he soon discovered that after overcoming his instinctive fear of water, the special training that had made him tremble to death did not seem to be as difficult as he imagined...... By the end, it even learned to swim, and it wasn't slow!

This situation had long been expected by Tang Chen.

The reason why cats are afraid of water is that they are afraid that their hair will be wet, and their hair will not dry easily after being wet, so they naturally do not like to go into the water. As long as the psychological barrier can be overcome, the cat can learn to swim.

In order to let the kitten recover its body temperature as soon as possible after coming ashore, Tang Chen specially retrieved a lot of dry firewood from the valley and lit a bonfire in the cave.

After the kitten got rid of his fear of water, Tang Chen had more to make other preparations.

The kitten's temporary shelter was completed after a lot of twists and turns.

He used a horn knife to cut out the planks, assembled a box in a wedge-shaped structure, wrapped a large circle around the perimeter with rattan rope to ensure that it would not easily fall apart, and dismantled the only butter umbrella and laid it inside to make a waterproof layer. The air inside is enough for the kitten to stay for a pillar of incense, and when it reaches the new open space, the shelter can be opened for ventilation.

To be on the safe side, he also laid a formation on top of the kitten's shelter.

Unconsciously, his cultivation improved again, advancing to the seventh level of qi refining!

The gas refining period is divided into nine layers, the first three layers are the early stage of gas refining, the fourth to sixth layers are the middle stage of gas refining, and the seventh to ninth layers are the late stage of gas refining. Advancing to the seventh level of qi refining, Tang Chen is already a late-stage qi refining cultivator, and he is a leader among qi refining cultivators, and his status in the sect will also increase.

Tang Chen was pleasantly surprised.

In the later stage of gas refining, the foundation will no longer be out of reach, and the life span will increase by 20 to 40 years after the foundation is built.

No one will be afraid of longevity, and Tang Chen is no exception.

He didn't like to cultivate in the past just because cultivation is water grinding kung fu and requires a lot of time, but he didn't expect that after falling into the valley, his cultivation will break through again and again, and he is even not far from building a foundation. But he is now in a desperate situation, and the escape plan is also a big gamble, and it is still unknown whether he can leave alive......

Tang Chen sighed and made people.

People's hearts are like mirrors, and heaven's will is like knives.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

It's time!
