The boundless sea, undulating waves
The several-foot-long fishing rod in Lu Xuan’s hand stretched out from the wooden building, and the silver-white fishing line fell in the distance.
Stretching all the way down the fishing line, you can see a first-class sea fish swimming around randomly. There is a fishhook with faint runes drawn on it inside the belly of the sea fish.
He heard Shi Zhong mention that dragons and carps occasionally appeared in this sea area, and they could be fished with live sea fish.
So the idea of trying it came up.
Suddenly, a huge force came from the fishing line, and with the perception of spiritual consciousness, the sea fish and the hook were swallowed by a giant fish in one gulp.
Lu Xuan pulled hard, and as soon as the giant fish emerged from the water, a water blade formed, cutting the fishing line, and the fishhook in the fish’s body was also bitten into pieces by it.
The giant fish regained its freedom, a blue light flashed on its head, the fish tail flicked hard, and it escaped instantly using the water escape technique.
Lu Xuan was able to catch a glimpse of the giant fish when it surfaced.
It is about one foot long and has a slender body. There are many dark blue scales on the surface of the body. Two blue fish tentacles are dragged to the tail of the fish. There is also a three-inch horn on the head, which adds to the giant fish. Extraordinary.
After the giant fish bit the bait, Lu Xuan learned detailed information about it.
[Green-horned dragon carp is a third-grade monster. In its infancy, it has thin true dragon blood in its body and is born with great strength. As it grows, it will automatically understand low-level and mid-level water spells, and can perform water escape within a certain range. 】
“Green-horned dragon carp?”
Lu Xuan looked at the direction where the giant fish disappeared, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
He had seen a dragon carp from Song Sining of the Song family, but it was only a second-grade monster, and the giant green fish he almost caught just now turned out to be a third-grade green-horned dragon carp.
“I remember that the true dragon bloodline in that dragon carp was extremely thin, and the true dragon bloodline in this dragon carp just now was very thin. Perhaps this is the reason for the difference in their grades.”
“The third-grade exotic dragon carp in its juvenile stage can be captured just in time to raise a white light ball.”
Lu Xuan thought in his mind and took out a fresh spiritual fish from the pool.
Then control it, carefully cut open the fish belly, put the fishhook into it, add some bait that dragons and carps love, and then use Yuehua beads to stop the bleeding and heal the wound, returning it to 70% to 80% of its normal appearance.
Then, he borrowed a new fishing rod from Shi Zhong.
The rod body is made of third-grade spiritual wood, the fishhook is forged from third-grade spiritual ore, and the fishing line is refined from the silk of third-grade blood jade spider.
Instantly switch from gun to gun.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, did you really find a different species of dragon carp?”
Shi Zhong was afraid of affecting the appearance of the green-horned dragon and carp, so he didn’t dare to breathe loudly and sent a message to Lu Xuan.
Zhou Bingyu also stood quietly aside, silent.
“Yes, it is very different from the dragon carp I saw before.”
Lu Xuan threw a first-grade sea fish to the distant sea and replied.
Shi Zhong became excited instantly, his eyes fixed on the position where the fishhook fell.
Alien dragon carp! Even if you can’t catch it yourself, it’s nice to be able to feast your eyes on it.
Marine fish have been swimming in the depths of the sea, and their swimming speed is getting slower and slower due to injuries.
About half an hour later, Lu Xuan suddenly felt that the sea fish was swallowed in one gulp, the veins in his arms popped out, and the bones inside were like crystal jade, and he swung it back hard.
A ten-foot-long green-horned dragon carp was taken out of the sea.
Due to the change of equipment, the green-horned dragon carp did not immediately break free from the shackles of the fishhook and line.
Lu Xuan’s spiritual power surged, the runes on the fishhook quietly changed, and several strands of spiritual power spread, trapping the green-horned dragon and carp.
The green-horned dragon carp let out a dull roar, and dozens of sharp water blades were shot out, trying to cut through the fishing line quickly.
Although it is a third-grade sea fish and has extraordinary talents, it is still in the juvenile stage after all and cannot be released as easily as before.
A jet-black rope flew out of Shi Zhong’s cuffs, and in the midst of lightning and flint, he tied up the green-horned dragon and carp and brought him back to the wooden building.
“It is indeed a different species of dragon and carp. Judging from its supernatural power, it should be a third-grade monster.”
“Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Lu, for actually catching such a different species of dragon carp!”
Shi Zhong looked at the green-horned dragon and carp jumping on the ground, with a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.
Catching a third-grade sea fish, even though it was only a young fish, was an experience he had never had before.
“Thanks to Fellow Taoist Shi’s fishing rod, I managed to catch this spiritual fish.”
Shi Zhong was envious, but he had no idea about this green-horned dragon carp.
After all, the value of third-grade sea fish to him is not very high.
Unless he caught it himself.
Lu Xuan took the fishhook out of the body of the green-horned dragon carp, and sprinkled the silver-white moonlight on it. After healing the dragon carp’s wounds, he put it into the living bag.
The two continued fishing.
A spiritual fish was caught by Lu Xuan and landed on the wooden board.
However, Lu Xuan showed no joy at all, and his expression was solemn.
The moment the sea fish just bit the bait, he noticed something was wrong with the state of the sea fish.
The information in my mind, in addition to the basic information, living habits, abilities, etc. of marine fish, there is one thing that is particularly eye-catching.
【Invaded by evil spirits, there is a risk of alienation. 】
Lu Xuan slowly approached Haiyu, and from a distance he noticed something was wrong with Haiyu.
Although it is full of vitality, it can be seen that there is extremely weak black energy seeping out of the body.
In the wide sleeves, a fourth-grade Great Sun Sword Talisman slipped quietly.
There is a cool breath coming from the Wugou Jade on the neck. The closer to the sea fish, the stronger the breath becomes.
“It seems that it does have something to do with evil spirits.”
Lu Xuan thought in his mind and called Shi Zhong and Zhou Bingyu over.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, is there anything important? From your tone, it seems that something ominous has happened.”
Shi Zhong asked.
“There’s something wrong with this fish.”
After Lu Xuan reminded them, the two of them discovered something strange about the fish on the wooden board. The sharp female trimmer raised her eyebrows and shot out a sharp sword energy, directly cutting the fish in half.
The scene before their eyes made the three of them speechless.
Inside the belly of the sea fish, no normal internal organs were found, only a few groups of gray-black filth lingering in the black air, squirming slowly, as if they had vitality.
Shi Zhong patted the storage bag on his waist, and a white jade talisman flew out and stopped above the fish carcass. Holy and pure white light sprinkled down layer by layer, landing on the gray and black filth.
There was a sizzling sound of filth, and a fishy smell filled the air.
After a few breaths, the filth turned into charred black organs, and the black air lingering around him disappeared.
“This sea fish has been invaded and polluted by evil spirits.”
“I just don’t know if it’s a natural disaster or man-made.”
Shi Zhong changed his usual lazy look and said seriously.
“The boundless sea is boundless. There are unknown evil spirits lurking in the deep sea, or the aura of evil spirits is extremely normal.”
“But this first-class marine fish has a limited range of activities and will not go too far from the archipelago.”
“This means that somewhere in the sea around the archipelago, there is a power that can invade fish and sea beasts that pollute the sea.”
“It would be fine if it formed naturally, but the degree and scope of the damage would be limited.”
“It would be a bit dangerous if it were man-made.”
“Perhaps, on a certain island, there are evil cultivators who are practicing sinister techniques and discharge a large amount of filth into the boundless sea, causing a large number of marine fish to be invaded and polluted.”
Lu Xuan speculated.
“Then they really deserve death.”
Such a thought flashed through the minds of the three of them.
