Chapter 168: Taming

Zhou Chen clung to the silverfish and immediately consumed two achievement points to start the system taming, which took at least a minute.

The system taming directly acts on the soul, making the silverfish, which was still a little groggy, feel a great crisis, and begin to struggle with all its strength with the instinct of a creature.

The strength was amazing, Zhou Chen almost got rid of his hand, and he almost couldn't hold it.

On your own, you want to control a big fish more than two meters long in the water, which is really a bit wishful thinking. Fortunately, Zhou Chen relied not only on brute force, but more importantly, on water control.

The primary water control technique can control the water within two meters around the body, which is enough to contain the silverfish, and at this moment, Zhou Chen used the water control technique to repel the surrounding water, forming a vacuum with a radius of two meters.

The body of the whitebait could not touch a drop of water, and it could not borrow a little force, which was worse than the fish that fell on the shore, and the strength of the fluttering and struggling suddenly became quite pitiful, and it could only writhe back and forth like an insect, and it was firmly controlled by Zhou Chen.

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Even so, Zhou Chen used all his strength, and what he was most worried about was being pierced by the spikes on its back.

Ten seconds, twenty seconds, half a minute......

The minute became extremely slow, and it was hard to get through it, and the silverfish's struggle suddenly stopped, and it didn't move as if it were unconscious.

There is no doubt that the soul taming has succeeded.

"Okay, you can take a break."

"It will take a little more for it to wake up, and when it wakes up, it won't bite you again." ”

Call......

Zhou Chen let go of his hand, also relaxed the water control technique, and floated in the water to relax and start to rest.

The whitebait is also suspended and motionless. A pair of fisheyes are devoid of brilliance, obviously. Its level of consciousness is undergoing a seismic shift.

After a few minutes, its tail wagged suddenly. Then the body writhes, although not by a large margin.

Next, when it felt that Zhou Chen was beside it, it leaned over quite naturally, all the spikes on its back were retracted, and it gently touched Zhou Chen with its body, revealing a little curiosity and obvious closeness.

Maybe it's thinking: You're my master? Why don't you look the same as me?

The soul recognizes the Lord, the most reliable mode of recognizing the Lord. From this moment on, even if Zhou Chen used a knife to cut its flesh, it would not have the slightest resistance.

Similarly, Zhou Chen also has a very strong sense of affection for it, just like a dog that has been raised since he was a child and has been with him for many years, without the slightest strangeness.

This is the deepest soul connection, and it is extremely strong and stable.

Zhou Chen gently stroked its fish head, but he didn't care too much about it. Then he commanded with his mind: "Go, take me to your lair and have a look." ”

The reason why I was interested in its lair was because the Phantom said that this guy had a special mutation. Trapped in the underground waterways for a young man, many of his innate abilities are said to be slowly weakened, but it is only the speed of swimming that is limited. In other respects, however, there has been a marked improvement.

For example, the hardness of its braincase, the thickness of its scales. and the toughness of the body, which is much stronger than the abyss silverfish of the same length. The hardness of the teeth is even more perverted, not much worse than the refined steel.

The silver fish is very obedient and can comprehend Zhou Chen's mind command, which is the role of soul connection, no need for translation, no need for gestures, Zhou Chen's casual thought is enough.

It took Zhou Chen to swim towards the stone wall not far away, where there was a long crack, more than half a meter wide, and Zhou Chen didn't have to turn sideways to get into it.

More than ten meters deep into the crack, Zhou Chen had a strange feeling, as if the water temperature in the crack had risen a few degrees compared to the outside, and it was no longer cold and biting.

"That's right, the blood jade you want is here, although it can't be called a vein, you can find more than a dozen pieces."

The perspective detection of the shadow has penetrated deep into the stone walls on both sides: "This silverfish actually has some kind of innate ability, which can slowly absorb the aura in the blood jade through the rocks, although the efficiency is very low, but it can't stand the accumulation of time...... It's a pity that no one has taught it how to use these auras, and it's just the most instinctive enhancement mutation. ”

Zhou Chen asked curiously, "Without ore veins, how did these blood jades come into being?" ”

"I don't know."

The shadow replied: "Just like the birth of this silverfish, there are many secrets of nature, even the gods cannot come up with the most reasonable explanation. ”

Okay, there is no need to worry about the origin of the blood jade and the silver fish for the time being, at this moment, Zhou Chen is more concerned about: "Does it mean that the aura in the more than a dozen pieces of blood jade has been wasted by it, and all I can get are second-hand goods." ”

"Yes."

Phantom smiled faintly: "Second-hand is better than nothing, at most it is a half-discount, and a dozen yuan is used as seven or eight yuan." ”

Well, Zhou Chen also felt that there was nothing to complain about, after all, our silverfish relied on the blood jade aura to survive until now, otherwise, it would have become a pile of fish bones and was deeply buried by the mud and sand below.

There is a lack of food in the underground waterways, and all it can eat is some small fish and shrimp, all kinds of small creatures, just like humans eating millet one by one, and every time it is not enough to stuff the teeth, it is really pitiful.

Zhou Chen gently stroked the head of the whitebait, and said to it with his heart: "It's good next, the vast sea is waiting for you, all kinds of delicacies, you can eat as you like." ”

Eating is the most basic instinct of all living beings, and when the silverfish received this information, he immediately became quite excited, and pressed his huge fish head against Zhou Chen, obviously urging him: Take me quickly, I'm hungry, I'm hungry, very hungry, very hungry!

I'm hungry!

Such a performance made Zhou Chen can't help but think of the curly-haired monster, and the girl is probably also a starving ghost reincarnated.

Not to mention that, the question now is how to get out the blood jade hidden in the rock.

Zhou Chen took out an iron pickaxe from the bracelet, and according to the ghost's instructions, he aimed at a certain place and slammed it hard. This one is still the most shallowest buried, and the thickness of the rock is only half a meter.

Crash!

The most superficial layer of rock has been soaked and eroded by groundwater for countless years, and it is still a little crunchy, but the more you go inside, the harder it becomes, and Zhou Chen has chiseled more than a hundred times, and it has only chiseled more than a foot thick.

The three punches that hit the silverfish just now exhausted the internal strength, and now with only muscle strength, I soon felt that my wrists were sore and my arms were stiff.

"No, the rock is too thick, even if you chisel for a while and rest for a while, you can only get this piece of blood jade in a day, right?"

Zhou Chen realized that if there were no power tools, only this most primitive iron tool would have to be consumed here for the next half a month.

The point is that this piece of rock is still the thinnest, and the shadow said that there are a few pieces of blood jade hidden at a depth of more than two meters, and the spiritual energy contained in it is also the most.

Quite simply, the deeper you bury it, the less aura you will absorb by the silverfish, and correspondingly, the more difficult it will be to get them.

"You can't go home empty-handed, you have to dig out the shallowest piece anyway."

Zhou Chen didn't feel disappointed, after all, these blood jades had been buried here for countless years, and he didn't have to worry about being discovered by others, he could come again next time, and he would bring the most efficient excavation equipment at that time.

Besides, a piece of blood jade in his hand had to be absorbed for many days before he could exhaust the spiritual energy, and he was not in a hurry in terms of time. (To be continued.) )
