"Why do you ask this?

There are a lot of them in Taihu Lake, and we have a lot of them in the back kitchen, so if you are interested, you can go to the kitchen tank to catch a net. Hearing Ji An mention the silver minnow, Zheng Ming said.

Ji An wrote down that when it was almost time to eat, he excused himself to take 80,000 walks and quit first.

The kitchen was busy, Xiao Wu took Ji An to the water tank and continued to go back to work.

There was no one around, and a transparent fish tank of 30 cm by 30 cm by 20 cm appeared in front of him. [The fun of playing with the aquarium is not only the fish, but also the small underwater world designed by yourself.] Since the name is called Dragon Palace, it will eventually become a magnificent underwater palace. 】

God knows where the water comes from, but there are aquatic plants growing at the bottom of the tank, and a small bubble pops up from time to time. A 10-centimeter-high tiled house is submerged in water, with a plaque hanging on it that reads "Dragon Palace" and the door is closed.

It is a box next to the tiled house, on which the words "Zhenlong Treasure Chest" are blatantly written.

Ji An took a closer look for a while, although there was no Qionglou Yuyu as he imagined, but the tiled house on this Yinyin "green grass" was not bad, and it was chic and comfortable.

Looking at the treasure chest, Ji An smiled evilly and stretched out his hand directly into the fish tank.

His hands were immersed in the water, but he didn't touch a single hair in the fish tank, let alone the treasure chest and the tile house.

"Why are the tiled houses and treasure chests inside fake?" Ji An couldn't help but complain.

System prompt: "The Dragon Treasure Chest needs to be opened by the Dragon Palace Guard." ”

"Where do you tell me to go to find the dragon palace guard, the shrimp soldiers and crabs? What kind of crabs, what kind of lobsters, you say, I'll catch them." ”

The system prompts: "At midnight, the Zhenzhai Rui Beast will appear in the prayer pool on the top of the mountain, and it needs to be lured by the Dragon Palace Silver Minnow." ”

Ji An: "So the Zhenzhai Rui Beast is not my house, but the Zhenlong Palace?"

The system did not answer......

Pouting, Ji An walked to the water tank next to him.

Silver minnows are not valuable, how many are in Taihu Lake, so there is no aeration rod in the water tank, and many finger-long silver minnows are listless, and even have some signs of turning their stomachs.

Ji An fished a net from the water tank, didn't count much, and poured it into the fish tank.

It is strange to say, as soon as the silver minnows entered the fish tank, they slowed down for a while, and immediately became alive and vigorous, their waists were not sore, their legs did not hurt, and their stomachs did not turn over, and a group of seven or eight small fish roamed freely in the fish tank, and the word "silver minnow" appeared on their heads.

…………

At 11:40 in the evening, when Yan Liwei and Zhou Baitong were already asleep, Ji An quietly slipped out of the wing courtyard located halfway up the mountain.

At this time, on Taihu Lake, a crescent moon just arrived in Zhongtian.

Turning on the mobile phone light, climbing along the stone steps to the top of the mountain, Ji An was born with a big heart, and the surroundings were dark, he was not afraid at all, but liked the silence on Lingyan Island at night.

The chirping of crickets mixed with the sound of frogs all around, and under the huge statue of Maitreya Buddha, Ji An stopped by the prayer pool and looked at the time, it was still a few minutes before 12 o'clock.

The monks of Lingyan Temple raised many turtles in the prayer pond, and on the steps on the shore, several turtles were stacked one by one, from large to small.

Seeing this, Ji An: "Could it be that the Zhenzhai Rui Beast is a turtle......?" Prime Minister Gui guards the Dragon Palace, which is also quite appropriate. ”

Thinking that it should be a silver minnow to lure one of the "turtle prime ministers", the fish tank appeared in front of him.

"Why did I die so much?" Ji An suddenly scolded.

Without the lights of the mobile phone, the fish tank is very bright, and the eight silver minnows that were alive just now have been turned over 5, all of which are floating on the water with their stomachs facing up.

It was also at the moment when the fish tank appeared, under the moonlight, somewhere on Maitreya Buddha's body: "Slap on the ...... Smack ......"

At this time, Ji An was staring at a catfish that appeared inexplicably in the fish tank in a daze.

"Black Catfish LV1?, where did this guy come from?" Seeing the text on the top of the catfish's head, he was confused.

"Smack...... Smack ......"

The ugly catfish with two long whiskers and a wide mouth swam to the three silver minnows that were still alive. One of the silver minnows was bitten by a big mouth, struggled for a while, and then turned over one after another.

Ji An looked carefully, and the silver minnow didn't have any wounds all over his body, not even a single fish scale dropped, but he just died.

"What's going on?"

He was stunned, another silver minnow was "bitten" to death, and Ji An suddenly came back to his senses: "No, this guy doesn't bite my silver minnows to death, my brother still relies on it to lure the 'turtle prime minister'." ”

I wanted to reach out and catch the catfish directly, but seeing that the silver minnow died in an unknown way, Ji An hesitated.

"Smack...... Smack ......"

Seeing the ugly catfish swimming towards the last silver minnow, Ji An frowned and scratched his blindness, "Snap...... Smack...... Puff !! "Splash on the surface of the fish tank.

The system prompts: "When the town house Rui beast appears, it can be promoted to the town guard of the Dragon Palace and suppress the black catfish essence, is it charged?"

Ji An was puzzled: "I haven't used the silver minnow, why did it appear?"

It's too late to entangle, and with a "poof", "uh...... Is this a Zhenzhai Rui Beast? Are you sure you're not here to sell cute?" Ji An pointed to a "frog" with particularly large eyes in the fish tank.

The big-eyed frog jumped into the fish tank and immediately became entangled with the black catfish. Not to mention, the catfish that bites the silver minnow can't bite it.

It's just that big-eyed frogs have no claws and no teeth, and they can't hurt catfish either.

Under the stalemate, the system prompted: "Please confirm the receipt as soon as possible, and be promoted to the Dragon Palace Guard, and you can open the Zhenlong Treasure Chest." ”

After thinking for a moment, Ji An chose to accept it.

The big-eyed frog stopped tangling with the black catfish and swam towards the chest, which it opened with its front flippers and pulled out a long-handled trident from it.

With the weapon, the big-eyed frog holds the trident with its two front webs, and slowly squats, squatting lower and lower, and its cheeks are bulging. After aiming at the downstream direction of the black catfish, the two thick hind legs kicked the ground suddenly, straightened, and the body "stabbed" out.

The sharp trident pierced the black catfish, writhed and struggled twice, and its body gradually blurred, faded, and finally turned into a wisp of black smoke.

The big-eyed frog inhales black smoke into its belly.

System prompt: "Keeper XP +10"

Then: "The Dragon Palace Alien Beast Spectrum opens......

Dragon Palace Aquarium Mission 1: Release 50 Yangtze River saury.

Reward: Stamina Immortal Fruit Seed. ”

Text appears on the head of the "frog": Dragon Palace Town Guard - (name to be determined, named by the host), LV1 (10/50), weapon: long-handled trident (upgradeable), talent skill: toad flying (upgradeable). Note: The Ryugu Guards are not allowed to leave the aquarium.

Seeing that he was going to name it himself, two words instantly popped up in Ji An's mind: Wentai. The unruly and arrogant toad boss - Bunta!

After Wen Tai inhaled the black gas, his big eyes closed, and after a few breaths, he opened them again, and the original pair of cute big eyes changed, and the pupils contracted into a vertical and narrow shape unique to ferocious predators.

Ji An grinned, he was very satisfied with the fierce appearance of the big-eyed frog now: "The Dragon Palace guard, you have to be so domineering!"

Tsk, it's just that this big white belly is a bit ruined. ”

…………

The next morning, Ji An got up early in the morning and ran to the kitchen water tank at the back of the restaurant, and he still had two questions that had not been resolved.

As the night passed, the silver minnows in the tank wilted even more, and most of them swam swaying, as if they were going to turn their stomachs if they were not careful.

Scoop up a net, a total of 4, and put it into the Dragon Palace Aquarium.

Sure enough, after a while, the silver minnow was refreshed again, and his swimming style suddenly became much more stable and powerful.

The first question is confirmed, the water in the tank does have a magical effect on the fish.

The second question, where did the black catfish come from?

Ji An waited for a while, the 4 silver minnows had completely regained their vitality, and at this time, the two closed doors of the tile house (Dragon Palace) opened, and there was chaos inside, and soon a wisp of black gas leaked out, and the gate of the tile house closed again.

Then, the black gas began to slowly deform, solidify, and form.

Piranha Essence: LV3 (For details, please refer to the Ryugu Zhiyi Atlas)

Ji An: "Damn it, it's ruthless, Mrs. Wen, copy the guy, it!"
