Chapter 176 The Corrosion of Hanjiang

Everything was ready, except for finding the Hanjiang Giant Ship to converge with. Fang Yue felt a lot better.

He continued to sprint wildly. Apart from the occasional shadows drifting under the river, which made him a little worried, everything else was fine. The Hanjiang River didn't seem as dangerous as the outsiders said.

Or...was it because the aura of the Demon Corpse had helped him avoid trouble?

Fang Yue didn't know for sure, but during his sprint, he suddenly noticed something.

His Freezing Ice Heart Technique was actually improving!

That's right, just sprinting on the Hanjiang River surface and circulating the Freezing Ice Heart Technique was like cultivating. The progress increased significantly!

This had never happened before. Could it be...also because of...

He looked down at the anklet and indeed felt something different.

He felt that the anklet was like a converter, and he was the plug.

The plug was inserted into the converter, which connected to the vast Hanjiang River as a power source. Then, through the converter, it fed back to himself.

And the power began to amplify!

He was just running and mobilizing the power of the Freezing Ice Heart Technique, but because of the Hanjiang River's feedback, the cultivation progress of the Freezing Ice Heart Technique was increasing by leaps and bounds!

At this rate, it wouldn't be long before he broke through to the second level.

"Great! If the Freezing Ice Heart Technique can break through to the second level, my strength will immediately increase a lot."

"This anklet is so powerful that it can even assist me in cultivation. Wait, if I'm already at this level, then the Demon Corpse must be even more so."

Fang Yue thought of the rapidly increasing internal energy and felt a sense of fear.

Could it be that the Demon Corpse was constantly getting stronger just by staying in the Hanjiang River? Was this the so-called corrosion and baptism of the Hanjiang River...?

Fang Yue couldn't help but envy the weirdness of the Hanjiang River. This method of increasing strength was simply too good. Getting stronger just by soaking in it like a hot spring was practically heaven.

And now, because of the Life Plate, he had some connection with the Demon Corpse and had gained some similar abilities!

He didn't have to do anything, just stay in the Hanjiang River, and he would become stronger! Stronger and stronger! So strong that no one could敌defeat him! As long as he was in the Hanjiang River, he was invincible!

[Fang Yue! Calm down! Don't be corroded by the Hanjiang River!]

Corrosion?

Fang Yue, who was in a state of excitement and running faster and faster, was stunned when he heard the voice from the sheepskin scroll in his mind.

How could it be? These were all my own thoughts. I'm in control...

His heart skipped a beat, and Fang Yue suddenly calmed down, his mind gradually clearing.

It was true that he could become stronger by staying in the Hanjiang River, but invincibility was completely impossible. Not to mention anything else, he was far from being a match for the Demon Corpse.

Strange, why did I have that kind of thought just now... Could it really be the corrosion of the Hanjiang River...

[Fang Yue, look at the anklet!]

As soon as the sheepskin scroll's words appeared in his mind, Fang Yue immediately looked down at his feet.

He saw that the originally thick anklet had become much thinner, losing half its weight and becoming slender.

[Its power is running out. If you haven't found the Hanjiang Giant Ship by then...]

The sheepskin scroll didn't continue, but Fang Yue understood what it meant.

His face darkened, and Fang Yue didn't say anything, gritting his teeth and starting to sprint wildly.

This time, he didn't care about the improvement of the Freezing Ice Heart Technique. He was completely focused on finding the Hanjiang Giant Ship before the anklet completely melted.

"Sheepskin scroll, is my direction correct? Can I get on the ship before the anklet dissolves? Activate precognition!"

[My name is Fang Yue.]

[Direction is correct.]

[I found the Hanjiang Giant Ship.]

[I'm on the ship!]

So concise?!

Fang Yue was slightly stunned. Had the sheepskin scroll changed its personality?

[No change! The great and noble sheepskin scroll is always cute!!]

"Then you..."

[Not enough power! Simple and streamlined! The remaining power can't even predict the images myself...]

He could feel that the sheepskin scroll had been in a state of fatigue ever since he left the Life Plate.

However, Fang Yue was not out of danger yet, so he still needed to rely on the power of the sheepskin scroll.

As a contractor, the sheepskin scroll knew that they would both suffer if one was damaged.

Protecting Fang Yue's life with all its might was something the sheepskin scroll had to do.

"Very good! Since the direction is right, all that's left is to run like crazy!"

Taking a deep breath, Fang Yue began to concentrate and sprint with all his strength!

Ta ta ta ta ta ta!

Every step on the surface of the Hanjiang River splashed high.

The surging river water, with its undulating waves, was stepped on by Fang Yue, turning into splashes and becoming his aid.

With each step, Fang Yue felt his speed increase, and his understanding of the Freezing Ice Heart Technique also improved.

Fang Yue felt that this unprecedented state was very mysterious.

From the beginning of the game, it was the first time he had entered such a mysterious state, like... enlightenment!

That's right, only enlightenment could describe the state he was in.

Everything around him, the surging waves, the undulating splashes, the shadows under the river... everything seemed to be in full view. And in the mental analysis of the brain, which was so calm that it was almost separated from the body, he obtained feedback from the central information, responded to each one, avoided all dangers, and maintained the most extreme speed.

At this moment, Fang Yue felt like he had become a genius, a real genius!

Not the kind of genius who had enlightenment hanging on the system list, but someone who truly and easily understood and perceived everything. Everything seemed to be unhidden in front of him!

He was God, an omnipotent God! The Lord of all things! The master of the world...

[Fang Yue!!]

The sheepskin scroll's voice jolted Fang Yue back to his senses, and his whole body shivered.

His eyes widened as he looked around, and Fang Yue's face darkened.

He had been corroded by the Hanjiang River again just now, and his consciousness was blurred and strange, with many strange thoughts that he could never have had.

The corrosion of the Hanjiang River was truly silent and difficult to defend against!

Fang Yue felt fear for this boundless Hanjiang River, a fear that even surpassed the time when he was being chased by the Demon Corpse.

Being chased by the Demon Corpse was a physical matter, while the influence of the Hanjiang River was directly spiritual, and he was in the Hanjiang River, surrounded by river water on all sides, like a prisoner imprisoned on a deserted island, with no way out.

Just as Fang Yue was running and thinking about how to resist the corrosion of the Hanjiang River, the sheepskin scroll suddenly reappeared in his mind...

[Fang Yue, we're off course! The direction has deviated a lot!]

What?!

Fang Yue's eyes widened, and he immediately understood.

When he was being corroded by the Hanjiang River just now, he didn't know if he was controlling his body, and he had no sense of direction.

So when he came back to his senses, he had already deviated from the course.
