Chapter 916 Silver-horned Giant Fish
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Shi, Lu has something to ask."
"Friend Lu, it's okay to say it."
Shi Zichen had just drank a small bottle of Ice Marrow Spirit Brew and was extremely polite to Lu Xuan.
"I heard that demons and evil things are often caught in the Qianbaozhen River. Is this true?"
"Lu is just a spiritual planter. If he accidentally encounters a demon, he will probably die. So I would like to ask fellow Taoist Shi how to avoid the evil things of demons?"
Lu Xuan asked doubtfully.
He had three strains of soul insect fungi in his hand that were extremely attractive to demons, but he was worried that if he caught them hastily because he was not strong enough, it would bring risks, so he wanted to get more information from Shi Zichen, a senior fisherman.
However, he considered that if the other Taoist friend himself had a strong interest in fishing monsters, it would most likely arouse suspicion, so he asked in reverse.
"Friend Lu Dao, there is no need to worry. There are indeed demons and evil spirits in the Qianbaozhen River, but they are extremely rare."
"Usually they only lurk in some special locations, or when the spiritual tide breaks out, the probability of appearing is higher."
"Therefore, when fishing for treasures normally, the possibility of encountering demons and evil things is very slim."
Shi Zichen explained in detail.
"I see."
Lu Xuan nodded lightly.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist Shi, for clearing up the confusion. Lu has itchy hands and wants to try his luck."
He bowed his hand to Shi Zichen.
"I wish fellow Taoist Stone can catch enough spiritual fish and water beasts."
Then, he walked several miles down the river bank, selected a suitable location, and took out the black jade spiritual rod and bait.
After everything was ready, he swung the spiritual pole vigorously, and the spiritual light flowed on the surface of the spiritual pole, suddenly extending to more than ten feet, and the fishing line made of ice silk fell into the Qianbaozhen River with the agarwood hook.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
"What's strange is that there is no such dark fish in this water area?"
Lu Xuan looked puzzled, raised his arm vigorously, and the agarwood hook with the bait came out from the depths of the water.
This time, in order to catch the dark fish, he deliberately sprinkled a lot of special bait, but he didn't expect it. No spiritual fish has bitten the hook yet.
"Then let's think of other ways and switch to the ordinary fishing bait first."
Although ordinary fishing bait is not very attractive to a certain kind of spiritual fish, it has universal appeal to most spiritual fish and can increase the probability of the spiritual fish biting the hook.
After biting the agarwood hook, he can learn the detailed information of the spirit fish and make targeted arrangements.
After changing the bait, his mind has been focused on the agarwood hook.
Five days later, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind.
[The black corpse fish is a fourth-grade spiritual fish with simple intelligence. It contains a variety of evil and strange zombie energies in its body. It likes to eat the carrion of monster beasts and monks. It has a strong pollution ability. It may cause mutations after being consumed. 】
"unlucky!"
"Unexpectedly, the treasure was not there, but instead it was bitten by a spiritual fish with a lot of corpse energy."
Lu Xuan sighed secretly.
The black corpse fish has extremely strong pollution ability, and even the evil spiritual plants in Feng Yuan Star Cave cannot absorb it.
There was no use in catching it, but he had to spend energy to deal with the large amount of corpse energy. Lu Xuan simply didn't want it to take the bait.
He swung the fishhook up with all his strength, and his spiritual power drove the bait above into the real river through the air.
After cleaning up the weak corpse energy remaining on the black jade spiritual pole, he came to Shi Zichen and watched him fish for a long time before returning to his position.
The spiritual pole was thrown out, the fishhook was dropped, and the black corpse fish had disappeared, and no detailed information about it appeared again.
Lu Xuan was very patient and waited quietly for the new spiritual fish to bite the hook.
Five more days later, another thought came to his mind.
[Silver-horned giant fish, a fourth-grade spiritual fish, is huge in size, weighing thousands of kilograms, has simple intelligence, has a huge horn on its head, and contains pure thunder spirit breath. It likes to eat all kinds of thunder-type heavenly materials and earthly treasures, fish meat After processing, the thunder spirit breath can temper the bodies of monks and monsters and increase the physical strength. 】
"Okay! Shipped!"
Lu Xuan suddenly became excited.
The fish float floating in the turbulent Zhen River looked extremely calm, but he already knew that there was a fourth-grade spiritual fish underneath, and it was on the verge of biting the hook.
"gone?"
After a while, when his mind fell into Zhenhe, that thought no longer appeared.
Lu Xuan looked calm and confident in catching the giant silver-horned fish.
Because the creatures in the Qianbaozhen River have been washed by special river water for a long time, their souls and bodies have certain mutations.
The spiritual intelligence has become extremely simple. It is not as smart as ordinary fourth- and fifth-grade high-level monsters, leaving only some basic instincts.
If you want to get it out of the Qianbaozhen River, you can basically only fish.
Monks cannot enter the Qianbaozhen River. Once they accidentally fall in, they will quickly lose their minds, or be directly eaten by various beings inside, or become a fishing target for others thousands of years later.
If you use fishing nets to catch fish, the feasibility is not very high.
After all, the number of spirit fish and water beasts in Zhenhe is not very large compared to the entire water area. If you put a net in, the possibility of catching spirit fish and water beasts is extremely slim.
Furthermore, finding a fishing net that can be used to catch high-level spiritual fish and water beasts is much more difficult than finding a fishing rod with the same effect.
Perhaps only those large sects are willing to spend such money.
For ordinary monks who fish for treasures, the most cost-effective way is to use the most primitive fishing rod.
In the eyes of those spiritual fish and water beasts with feeding instincts, the temptation of bait is much greater than that of fishing nets and other magical tools.
After the spiritual fish and water beasts bite the hook, the rest is the struggle between each other.
The physical body, soul, grade of the spiritual rod, treasures used for capture, timing... are all factors that can affect whether the fish can be caught.
Of course, the most difficult thing is to get the spiritual fish and water beasts to take the bait.
However, this is not a big problem for Lu Xuan.
He can make precise adjustments in time according to the preferences of various spiritual fish and water beasts, and maximize the effect of the bait, so that the number of spiritual fish and water beasts that can be attracted will also increase sharply.
"A giant silver-horned fish weighing thousands of kilograms, even if the inedible parts are removed, can also make a full meal for all the spiritual beasts in the cave."
Lu Xuan said secretly in his heart.
"Thunder-type natural treasures... There are several more in the gluttonous insect capsule, so let's use the thunderstorm lotus seeds."
He has been working in the Thunder Mars Cave for many years, and has collected a wealth of thunder-type natural treasures.
Thunderstorm lotus seeds, thunder death crystals, Yimu green thunder liquid, dark green thunder liquid...
After thinking about it, the fourth-grade thunderstorm lotus seeds are the most cost-effective.
Lu Xuan stretched out his palm, and five or six silver-white lotus seeds quietly appeared in his palm.
He clenched his fist, and the silver-white lotus seeds immediately broke into fine powder, and strands of fine lightning flashes appeared from time to time.
Next, he took out another portion of bait and blended the silver-white powder into it.
In this way, it became a special bait that the silver-horned giant fish must eat.
