"Wow! It's so small! Tsk, it's the first time I've seen such a little elf! ”

Ye Ziyun pinched the elf's tail and lifted it up in front of him, looking at the very small and very Q guy in front of him in amazement.

The spherical body is bounded by the lip line, with a dark gray tinge on the top half and beige with a light gray tinge on the lower part. There is a clear distinction between the two colors, and the scales on the body have become highly specialized, turning into hard spikes.

Thousand needlefish, this kind of spirit is exactly the kind that Ye Ziyun guessed. Although this elf is also a fish, its swimming ability is not very good. As a fish spirit, the Thousand Needlefish is not slow to move in the water, but it is not even as agile as the king carp.

The highly specialized scales cause the spirits to lose all fins except for the tail fin, and in exchange for the venomous needles, they also lose the ability to maneuver in the water.

This also caused the thousand needlefish to face a sudden attack, except for moving forward at high speed to escape, there is no very easy way to avoid it. Maybe that's why those who are poisoned get poisoned? It's not that the Thousand Needlefish took the initiative to attack them, but because the Thousand Needlefish didn't avoid the touch of those people in time.

After putting the Super Q fish in the bucket, Ye Ziyun hung the feed on the hook again. After a while, the float sank down again.

When I lifted the rod, I still didn't feel any weight, and when I turned my head, I saw that there was a very small and very Q thousand needlefish hanging on the hook.

According to the feedback of the system, the previous thousand needlefish was just a level 2 little guy. This one doesn't look as big as the one I caught just now! Sure enough, the grade of the second hooked thousand needlefish is still level 2, and the quality is still C.

Three hours later, Ye Ziyun caught hundreds of thousand-needlefish before and after, all of which were juveniles the size of this ping-pong ball. For such a small target, Yeziyun can only use bait fishing. Although he also changed the lure on the way to try to catch an adult with lures, it turned out that there were only these juvenile thousand needlefish.

Judging from the 1,000 needlefish caught, the average level of the 1,000 needlefish that caused the incident this time was between 2 and 3, and there were not many individuals who reached level 5.

In short, the incident is generally clear, and for unknown reasons, it caused a large number of thousands of needlefish. This small river may be due to the depth of the water, so only those larvae swim in, but these larvae cannot appear out of thin air, and the real breeding ground should be on the side of Light Red City.

However, the Thousand Needlefish is a less common type of elf, and the recorded breeding grounds are located in the waters of Road 32 in the Johto area. In the Johto area, since Road 32 was designated as an official road, a large number of needlefish have been reported every year.

However, this is the first time this has happened in the Kanto region, and the specific requirements for the breeding farm of the thousand needlefish are not yet clear, but although the area between Road 32 and Light Red City and Rainbow City is in the same position in latitude, if the waters here meet those unknown conditions, it will indeed be very suitable for the breeding of the thousand needlefish.

However, as a fish, the needlefish does not have the fins that can walk on the shore like lanternfish, and in order to reach this water, it must follow the coastline across a large area of water from west to east. However, with the swimming ability of a thousand needlefish, it is not realistic, and even if you want to ride the current, it is impossible to get there, because the west-to-east current closest to the city of Asaka will turn southwest in the bay east of Wakaba Town. Although the needlefish swims relatively fast, it does not have the ability to break away from the control of the current.

"Come out Meow Meow, talk to these kids first and see if you can find any useful clues."

The bewildered Ye Ziyun had no choice but to call out Meow, although it was impossible for these thousand-needle fish, who were obviously still in the infant stage, to know how their parents came to the Kanto region, but it was not the one that Ye Ziyun wanted to know from their mouths. It was enough for Ye Ziyun to know from these thousand needlefish larvae where they hatched, and the rest of the questions Ye Ziyun went back to ask the parents of these thousand needlefish.

"Hey, hey~ Wow! What is this?! Better... It's so scary in dense packs!! ”

Meow Meow was stunned by the sight in front of him at first glance, and he dug a big shallow pit on the ground next to Ye Ziyun, with water in the pit and a large number of "tadpoles" that kept wagging their tails.

What the? That bucket from before? It was already impossible to fit, and after completing the task of transporting the water to the shallow pit, the bucket had already been put back in the backpack.

A thousand needlefish the size of a ping-pong ball are densely covered with shallow pits, and at this density, the movement of their tails becomes a strange writhing.

Originally, Ye Ziyun didn't feel anything, but after being reminded by Meow Meow, a feeling of nausea arose. It's morning sickness... Pregnant with your brother-in-law! Ye Ziyun is a sunny and handsome young man, 100% pure masters, how could there be such a reaction! It's just a little disgusting.

The densely writhing "tadpoles" may be enough to cause illness for people with dense phobia, if you know that these little things are actually all poisonous...... Death... It's not impossible, either.

But now is not the time to think about that.

"Don't do that, meow, you see, if you look at them individually, they're pretty cute, aren't they?"

Ye Ziyun gently pinched the tail of one of the thousand needlefish and brought it to Meowmeow's eyes.

“… True... It's true... Meow? Meow Ha Ha ~ Really yes Meow! It's the first time I've seen such a small elf meow~! Kawaii meow! ”

Sure enough, if the larvae of these thousand needlefish are taken out independently, Meow Meow also agrees with Ye Ziyun's opinion.

So, Yeziyun and Meow Meow took the thousand needlefish and moved away from the shallow pit a little. If you don't stay away from the shallow pit full of "tadpoles", Meow Meow may not even be able to speak.

Through inquiry, Ye Ziyun also learned about the birthplace of these thousand-needle fish. Although the juvenile stage of the Thousand Needlefish is not well expressed, according to some of the iconic objects it provides, Yeziyun was able to find the approximate location from the electronic map - a plain on the edge of the light red city.

According to the map, there are several adjacent lakes in the area, with a network of water connected to each other, the largest of which is directly connected to a river that flows east of Rainbow City. Ye Ziyun adjusted the perspective of the electronic map and found that the source of this river was actually from Mt. Tsukimi, and if you went downstream, it was actually not far from the sea area of Light Red City......

Could it be that these thousand needlefish really swam by sea by themselves? How is this possible! Ye Ziyun's current location is to the west of Rainbow City, although Road 16 does have a river, but Road 17 to the south is a bay! The area to the west between Rainbow City and Light Red City is not separated by mountains or anything like that! It's the vast sea, it's a dull soul!
