Chapter Forty-Six: Killing Catfish
……
At nearly seven o'clock, the sun was getting stronger and stronger, and the water vapor on the lake had completely dissipated. [][]. [].]
Rayong sat down by the lake, his fingers like the wind, and the twenty-seven fingers were like flowing water.
"Grass and Tree Eyes, Turn!"
As soon as the eyes were closed, and when they opened again, the consciousness had successfully attached to Xiao Luo.
Shar Pei catfish is deep underwater, and it is quite inconvenient to fight, so it is the most convenient way to use visual transfer and attach it to Xiao Luo to remotely command.
Xiao Luo was already ready to move, and almost as soon as Luo Yong's mind moved, it received a signal and couldn't wait to rush into the lake.
This is the second time that Rayong has performed a visual shift, and he will not be as overwhelmed as the first time, and he will quickly fully adapt to Xiao Luo's perspective.
Although Xiao Luo was swimming for the first time, she didn't have the slightest strange feeling, as if it was instinct, swinging the transparent scale armor to control the water flow, and the long vine body writhed like a water snake, swimming freely in the water.
As Xiao Luo swam rapidly, Rayong's eyes gradually darkened, and the aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake came into view, and schools of swimming fish hid in them, swimming slowly with the slight current.
Soon, a little green light appeared on the surface of the water in front of him, and Ahri's slender branches and leaves appeared close to the water's surface.
Since just now, Ahri has been staring at Shar Pei Catfish, and now that he has seen Ahri, it means that Shar Pei Catfish is below here.
Xiao Luo circled around under Ahri, got the general direction of the Shar Pei catfish, and swooped straight towards the bottom of the lake.
No matter how good the Shar Pei catfish camouflage, it is unlikely that it will be able to avoid Xiao Luo's net.
Without Rayong's instructions, Xiaoluo arrived at the place and naturally made the most correct choice.
Ten vines naturally spread out, spreading out like cobwebs, falling in all directions. The transparent vines are barely visible in the water, but when they fall, they stir up the currents, causing undercurrents to surge in all directions, and the sound is amazing.
Soon, the vines were only half a meter from the bottom of the lake.
Suddenly, a piece of aquatic grass moved, and in the chaotic current, a behemoth more than five meters long burst out from the bottom of the lake.
Rayong's heart tightened, and his attention instantly focused.
Xiao Luo's vines were all unfolded, and it was only ten meters in diameter. With this movement, the Shar Pei catfish was almost out of the range of vines.
The vine on Xiao Luo's side twitched at the bottom of the lake, and the vine bounced violently, quickly pounced on the running Shar Pei catfish. The vines are even more transparent and difficult to distinguish, and they are like ghosts in their movements, and they can barely distinguish their shapes only by relying on the rising water.
Shar Pei catfish is a high-level predator, with a fierce temperament, Xiao Luo takes the initiative to provoke, where will it retreat, turn its head is a mouthful, bite a vine, sharp teeth keep tearing.
The opportunity was rare, all the vines of Xiao Luo gathered in an instant, and he didn't care about the vine that was bitten, and reflexively wrapped it directly around the body of the Shar Pei catfish, instantly tying it into a twist.
In Xiao Luo's transparent scale armor, the delicate transparent filaments poked out their heads, slowly but firmly piercing into the skin of the Shar Pei catfish.
"Bang~"
The Shar Pei catfish flipped its body and slapped its powerful tail hard at the bottom of the lake, trying to break free from Xiao Luo's restraints.
Bursts of muddy water poured up, obscuring Rayong's flickering vision, making his eyes almost pitch black.
"Gollum~"
A series of blisters burst out of the mud and passed Rayong's side, quickly rising.
"Bang~Bang~" The catfish struggled violently, constantly churning in the silt, the surrounding water became more and more turbid, and all kinds of debris were stirred out, and some things had been deposited at the bottom of the lake for an unknown number of years.
Luo Yong's mind moved, Xiao Luo suddenly pulled out a vine, all the scale armor was closed, the tip of the vine was sharp and abnormal, like a sharp weapon, and a trace of cold light appeared on the surface.
The vine swung, and the sharp tip poked into the gills and thrust into the head of the Shar Pei catfish.
"Poof!"
Rayong seemed to hear the sound of a vine tip piercing his skull.
The little radish vine stirred violently, and the brains of the Shar Pei catfish were stirred into a paste.
The body of the Shar Pei catfish twitched violently, its tail slapped stiffly at the bottom of the lake, and with a stroke of its pectoral fins, its body flew out with Xiaoluo.
However, the brain pulp has been stirred into a paste, where can the Shar Pei catfish still have a life? It was just a dying struggle, but after a breath, the catfish lay straight at the bottom of the lake, without a sound.
In the dim light of the water, the vines that bound the fish had all turned pink. The filaments protruding from between the scales have expanded and become ducts, and streams of blood follow the ducts into Xiao Luo's body, and the color of the vines is still gradually deepening, and it is estimated that they will soon turn bright red.
Leaving two vines to bind the fish corpse, the remaining vines twisted into a single strand, turning into a pink swimming snake, dragging the corpse towards the shore.
Seeing this, Luo Yong's heart moved, and his consciousness instantly detached and returned to himself.
After opening his eyes and shaking his head to get used to it, he quickly walked to the lake, staring at the surface of the lake, waiting for Xiao Luo to drag the body up.
Rayong waited, waited, waited, waited, waited until the flowers were gone, and saw a red line emerge from a distance, followed by a very large shadow. At this time, he suddenly remembered that the length of the fish body of the Shar Pei catfish was five meters, and the vines of Xiaoluo were only more than five meters long.
Xiao Luo's bright skin color is very conspicuous on the water surface, and when it meanders and swims, if you don't look closely, you are afraid that you will really think it is a snake. It's just that the scale armor on its body is still bright in the sun, like red glass, bright and dazzling, adding a bit of charm.
Seeing Xiao Luo dragging the huge fish corpse and slowly leaning over, Luo Yong's heart swelled up with a little impatience, and gradually calmed down.
A few minutes later, Xiao Luo climbed ashore and shook off the water droplets on her body, and her red and bright vine body looked quite charming.
Rayong walked over to the corpse of the catfish.
Before being at the bottom of the lake, with the help of Xiaoluo and Ahri's perspective, I didn't feel like anything. Now standing next to the Shar Pei catfish, I feel shocked.
This fish corpse, just a fish head, reaches his waist, the width of the entire fish mouth is more than one and a half meters, and the staggered teeth are extremely sharp, if it is fully opened, it is more than enough to swallow two or three people.
Fortunately, this fish has always inhabited the bottom of the lake, and no one in their family likes to swim, otherwise it would be difficult to think of such a big fish without thinking of anything.
Rayong unconsciously felt a sense of fear.
The sand cat has been rolling in the mud for a long time, and now its body is covered with silt, soft and collapsed against the shore, the smooth and greasy skin is a dark gray, and the back is even more uneven, full of aquatic plants and all kinds of messy things, it looks very disgusting.
This kind of fish, no matter how big it grows, it is estimated that no one wants to eat it, and it has no value.
Without hesitation, Rayong reached out and pressed it on the head of the fish, and began to absorb the life force.
As he sucked it up, the remaining life force in the catfish carcass gradually wore away, and the huge body dried up at a very slow rate.
Rayong looked surprised.
He could clearly feel that the life force flowing from the palm of his hand was like a trickle, the speed was quite slow, but it was very stable, which was completely different from the surging surge when he absorbed the green leopard before.
If you think about it carefully, when the big herring was absorbed before, it seemed to be a similar situation, but the vitality of the big herring was relatively small, and it was absorbed all at once, so it didn't feel too much.
Now, looking at the huge body of the Shar Pei catfish, compared to the speed of absorbing the slower life force, this gap is particularly obvious.
It seems that this is due to the difference in the body structure of aquatic fish and terrestrial animals. Perhaps, the situation will be different for different kinds of organisms.
Before you know it, the body of the catfish is almost completely shriveled, and the skeleton in the middle is high and protruding, and the bones are almost piercing the skin and leaking out of it. Although the head of the fish is basically the same, but those fangs look more prominent and conspicuous, revealing a bit of hideousness.
When he couldn't absorb the vitality at all, Rayong let go of his hand and washed his hands in the lake water, while paying attention to the sea to see how much life light he had absorbed.
One, two, three...... If you ignore the trace of phantom next to it, it is a full three points of life light, almost comparable to the previous blue-striped leopard, and it can be regarded as one of the creatures with the most vitality among the living forms that have been in contact with it so far.
Moreover, the Shar Pei catfish can grow up to seven or eight meters, this one is far from reaching the maximum, if it grows a little more, maybe there will be four or even five points of life light.
Unfortunately, this Shar Pei catfish died at his hands before it could grow to its maximum.
Of course, after realizing the danger of this fish, Rayong could not tolerate it to continue to live.
What's more, there are definitely a lot of three points of life light. With these three points of life light, he has a little more confidence, and when he arrives in the beast area, if there is any emergency, he can also be flexible.
The sun gradually rose, and before you knew it, it was already past seven o'clock.
Breakfast time at home is seven o'clock, and if you don't go back, I'm afraid someone will come to look for you.
Rayong cleaned himself up a little, threw the fish skeleton under the tree, and took Xiaoluo home.
Xiao Luo followed behind him, kept crawling over, crawling over, exuding an enthusiastic atmosphere. The red color on its body is fading little by little, indicating that the blood it absorbed before is slowly being digested, and it is estimated that it will be completely faded by the time it gets home.
On the yellow blades of grass on the side of the road, the frost had completely melted and turned into crystal dewdrops. The sun fell on his back, casting a long shadow in front of him.
I'm going to leave for the animal area tomorrow, and there are still a lot of things to arrange at home, and I have to make up a reason to explain it to my parents.
The thought of this gave Rayong a headache. The worst thing he is at in his life is to deceive people, especially his own flesh and blood relatives.
There is also Mu Jiu.
The reason why he agreed to take Mu Jiu to the beast area was not only to be able to give him one more help, but also because he had a lot of secrets in his family, and he was worried that there would be unnecessary hidden dangers if he left him at home. For example, accidentally touching Chaotian pepper or something.
