I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 55: Trying to Control the Water in the Human Body (Fourth Update)

Zhang Chen put the pancake into his mouth. The pancake was very sweet, but Zhang Chen felt complicated.

"No matter where you are in this world, there are good people and bad people. There are bad people in the good camp and good people in the bad camp. It's just that everyone belongs to different camps. I belong neither to the court camp nor to the rebel camp. Which camp he is in has nothing to do with me. He gives me cakes to eat! The court camp is righteous, but they don't give me a grain of rice and even collect rent from me." Zhang Chen put the rest of the biscuits in his arms, then continued walking in the wind and rain holding the jar.

"They are just a group of people who can't make a living. What have they done wrong?" Zhang Chen muttered, and tightened his hands around the pancake. "It doesn't matter which camp they are in, as long as it doesn't involve me."

He was not afraid that the cakes were poisoned, but the truth about the poisoned people could not be hidden from the young and old men in the village. Once they reported it to the authorities, they would be exposed.

Zhang Chen came to Zhang's house with white flour pancakes, but saw Zhang doing handicrafts. Zhang Chen held the two little ones in his arms, and then took out the white flour pancakes. The two little ones immediately cheered and started to eat the pancakes, not even caring about their eldest brother.

"Mom, please have one." Zhang Chen handed a white flour pancake to Zhang.

Zhang looked at the white flour cake, then looked at Zhang Chen, and did not take it. Instead, she lowered her head and continued embroidering: "You eat it. You are growing up now. It would be a waste if I eat it."

Zhang Chen looked at Zhang's skinny body, which seemed to have shrunk into a ball. He couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat, and then forced the cake into Zhang's hand: "It's just a cake. Eating one more won't make you gain weight, and our family won't be short of food in the future. Please eat it quickly! If you don't eat, I can't eat it either. How can a mother not enjoy herself and let her children eat first? If it gets out, I'm afraid people will point at her nose and call her unfilial. Mother, do you want to make me have a reputation of being unfilial?"

Zhang Chen's words were firm and he did not allow Zhang to refuse, so he directly started moral blackmail.

Zhang looked at Zhang Chen, then looked at the pancake, and finally stretched out her calloused hands to take the pancake, then put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully.

Zhang Chen also picked up the pancake and started eating it. He hadn't eaten white flour pancakes for many years.

"I have something to tell mother." Zhang Chen looked at Zhang while eating.

Zhang looked at Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen said, "I'm afraid there will be a severe drought in the future. It's inevitable that the land will be barren and people will have to trade their children for food. We must make preparations early and be ready to move at any time."

Zhang paused eating her pancakes when she heard this, and a look of panic appeared in her eyes: "Where did you hear this?"

Zhang Chen explained: "This land is about to be flooded with water. It is absorbing moisture from the sky and the earth. Have you seen the rain outside? It dries up as soon as it hits the ground. In fact, there is a dragon absorbing water. If this continues, there will be no water in the sky or underground. The grass and trees will die of drought, the wild animals in the mountains will starve to death, and the fields will have no harvest. A natural disaster is imminent."

Zhang's face changed drastically at this moment, and she looked at Zhang Chen in bewilderment and asked, "What should we do?"

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, at worst we can just flee from the famine."

Zhang was stunned when she heard this, and then her face became even more worried.

Zhang Chen just gave Zhang a shot of prevention today.

Zhang Chen avoided the eyes and ears of Zhang family and picked seven or eight times. He secretly used the water pumping technique to fill all the water tanks, buckets and basins in the house with water, and then sealed them with yellow mud. This could perfectly prevent the water from evaporating. Only then did he say goodbye and leave.

Zhang Chen stood up and said goodbye. He walked through the rain all the way back home. He stood in front of the pheasant in the basket, with a look of anticipation in his eyes: "If my water control technique can control the water in the human body, this function will be really amazing. Who will be my opponent then? Without waiting for the opponent to fight me, I will directly use the water flow in his body to penetrate his heart, so that he will die without a burial place. Or I can directly burst his blood vessels, or block his blood vessels, and torture him to death."

"Whether it will work or not still needs some experiments." Zhang Chen looked at the pheasant in the cage, and immediately activated his skill.

"Gah~gah~gah~"

The pheasant was calling leisurely in the cage, completely unaware of the impending danger. It looked at Zhang Chen with confused eyes, as if begging for food, and its voice was full of leisure and ease.

Zhang Chen stared at the pheasant with a pair of eyes, his gaze was full of burning heat, and his skill had been activated, covering the pheasant in the cage:
"It should work! After all, it's all water, and as long as it's water, it's under my control. It must work! It must work!"

As Zhang Chen's skill was activated, the pheasant in the cage tilted its head and looked at Zhang Chen, as if it was looking at a big fool, its eyes full of curiosity.

"How could this be?"

As the golden finger was activated, Zhang Chen's eyes showed a hint of disbelief. His golden finger could not do anything to the pheasant. The pheasant looked at Zhang Chen with a pair of calm eyes, as if it didn't feel anything at all.

"Isn't it said that the human body is 60% water? How could this be?" Zhang Chen couldn't understand the change.

Zhang Chen took out the prepared wild vegetables, chopped them up and fed them to the pheasants. He pondered the deviation in his mind for a long time before he had an inspiration:

"There are two possibilities. The first possibility is that the other party is a living being. The water in a living being is different from the water in the outside world. It contains the breath of life, or it contains some strange power. Therefore, my skills cannot interfere with the water in the living body. So I can't plunder the water in the body of a living being!"

"The second type is the type of blood. Blood is like lubricating oil. Although it is a liquid, it is not ordinary water at all. My water control technique only controls water, while the human body's blood is not water. It can only be considered a liquid."

Zhang Chen was thinking, there are probably only two possibilities, either one is possible, Zhang Chen couldn't tell for a moment. "The knowledge from the previous life really can't be trusted, because in reality, it's not the same at all." Zhang Chen muttered, then took out a pheasant and started to verify it directly.

He sucked the blood of the pheasant directly, and as the pheasant died, Zhang Chen began to boil hot water to pluck its feathers and cut open its belly. Soon the pheasant was ready.

Zhang Chen looked at the tender white pheasant and activated his skill the next moment. The texture of the pheasant changed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Countless mists were drawn out from the pheasant's body, and the pheasant turned into dried meat in the blink of an eye.

"It worked! It seems that my first guess has been confirmed. Of course there is water in living organisms. My skill can extract water from dead organisms, but not from living ones. This proves that there is a mysterious energy in the bodies of living organisms, which makes my skill ineffective."

Zhang Chen looked at the dried chicken in his hand, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter: "I seem to have discovered a way to store food. As long as the moisture in the meat is extracted, the meat will be preserved forever and will not rot. In the future years of great famine, this is a magical skill!"

This is truly a magical skill, it is a natural preservative.

"Sure enough, there are no useless skills in this world, only useless people." Zhang Chen stroked the dried pheasant with his hand. It had been completely dried by Zhang Chen and there was no moisture in it anymore, but it did not affect its eating. When he wanted to eat it in the future, he could just put it in water and cook it. The cooked chicken would be no different from a freshly slaughtered chicken.

"Very good skills!" Zhang Chen looked at his own fourth skill and secretly gave a thumbs up. He felt that he was narrow-minded.

After thinking clearly about the golden finger, although he was a little disappointed that he could not control the water in the human body, he was glad to master the air-drying technology, which would be very helpful for preserving food in the future. So Zhang Chen happily put the chicken away, then sat at the table beside him and began to practice calligraphy.

Although he couldn't recognize words, he had to continue practicing calligraphy so that he wouldn't fall behind when he really learned to read in the future.

Nothing happened that night, except that it was a little noisy next door.

Zhang Chen came to the mountains to feed the bumblebees, then carried the basket and went straight to the ancient tomb. Looking at the charcoal fire that had not yet been extinguished, Zhang Chen stripped naked and walked into the cave shirtless to dig the soil.

It was very hot in the cave, and soon Zhang Chen was sweating profusely, but the ice in the cave was melting very quickly.

Zhang Chen worked extra hard in digging today, and he was especially excited when he saw his experience points growing.

[Experience value +8]

[Experience value +18]

[Experience value +16]

[Experience value +19]

……

After digging the soft frozen soil today, Zhang Chen looked at his own gold finger page:

【Name: Zhang Chen】

[Skill 3 (Ungraded): Blood Control (0/100000)]

[4th skill (unqualified): Water control (0/1000)]

【Points: 4990】

"Damn it, is this intentional? Just ten points away?" Zhang Chen stared at his own golden finger page, especially after seeing that he was only ten points away from upgrading, he felt bad.

Only ten points away from upgrading the Light of the Righteous God to kill the vixen! Maybe it would only take one shovel!
ps: I will upgrade it for everyone tomorrow, and start the final battle with the vixen. The rhythm is on the right track. Please read it for me, my friends.
