Chapter 168: The Hidden Scale Fish Killed for a Thousand Years
Shui Linjiao remained calm and motionless, the young monk stared at it, Lu Xuan adjusted his breathing and took out the Split Silver Blade.
The short silver-white blade slowly pierced into Shui Linjiao's abdomen.
Although Shui Lin Jiao is a second-grade Jiaolong, there is no scale armor protection on its abdomen, and it is not known for its defense, so it is not very difficult for the first-grade cracked silver blade to pierce it.
Lu Xuan held the hilt of the silver-white cracked silver blade hard, and slowly but firmly made a cut.
Immediately, his spiritual sense penetrated into it, searching every muscle and bone very carefully.
"Found you."
Somewhere in Shui Linjiao's body, although it looked like flesh and blood, his spiritual sense felt a slight abnormality, and he immediately made a decision, controlling the small group of abnormal things, and quickly took it out of Shui Linjiao's body before it could react.
A strange fish appears on the ground.
The strange fish is about a foot long, with a slender, translucent body, with only a black lateral line in its body, and a huge sucker on its head, which is almost transparent.
"What is this?"
"There are indeed other demon beasts in Jiaolong's body, and Senior Brother Lu is really sharp-eyed."
The monks next to him saw the strange fish coming out of Shui Linjiao's body, and they were talking about it.
Lu Xuan didn't make a sound, took out a piece of demon beast meat from the bucket next to him, and put it in front of the strange fish.
The strange fish seemed to have found life, and its body shook, burrowing into the flesh of the monster like a stream of water.
"If I find you for the first time, I will naturally find you a second time."
Lu Xuan snorted coldly, and easily pulled the strange fish out of the monster beast's flesh.
The reason why he took the monster beast meat out was to prove to the other monks that this fish had the ability to possess and parasitize, and secondly, to take this opportunity to learn more about the strange fish.
A thought crossed his mind.
[Hidden scale fish, a first-class demon beast, weak attack, good at hiding itself in the water, non-poisonous and edible. 】
[Usually parasitic in the water demon beasts, in the juvenile period, the hatched cryptoscale fish will find an opportunity to burrow into the back door of the demon beast, silently merge with the body of the demon beast, and absorb the essence of the demon beast's flesh and blood. 】
"Uh-huh???"
When Lu Xuan saw this information for the first time, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Senior Brother Lu, what is this strange fish? How did such a big fish get into the dragon's body? ”
Although a few people next to them also raised Jiaolong pythons in Qianlong Lake, for them, cultivation was still in the first place, and raising Jiaolong was just a way to earn sword marks.
Therefore, on the way to the spirit animal, there is not much understanding.
Lu Xuan paused, and finally decided to tell the truth.
"This strange fish is called the Cryptoscale Fish, I have seen it in a certain book, it is parasitic in the body of the water demon beast on weekdays, and feeds on the flesh and blood essence of the demon beast."
"As for the way to enter the body of the demon beast......"
"As far as I know, I entered through the back door of the demon beast."
Everyone showed puzzled expressions on their faces, looking at the hidden scale fish that was still struggling on the ground, Qi Qi felt a secret tightness behind him.
"But why wouldn't we find out? These dragon pythons have been raised by us since they were children, and occasionally check their physical condition, but we have never found any trace of this strange fish. ”
A monk asked, confused.
"It's very simple, this hidden scale fish has a very strong concealment ability, almost integrated with the dragon, only at close range, with the spiritual sense of the slow search little by little, it is possible to find their traces."
"As for the dragon, although I know in my heart that there is essence and blood in my body that is slowly flowing, but because of the parasitic ability of the cryptoscale fish, I can't detect their existence."
Lu Xuan answered the monk very patiently.
"Senior Brother Lu, I still have one last doubt, and I ask Senior Brother to solve my doubts."
"How much harm will this cryptoscaly fish parasitized in the dragon's body cause to the dragon?"
Several people next to them pricked up their ears and focused on Lu Xuan, which was also the most concerned issue in their hearts.
After all, every monk present had at least dozens of dragon pythons in their hands, and if it was because of this hidden scale fish, the dragons under his command were seriously damaged, then they would not be able to eat and walk around.
"The harm is not very big, the most important thing is to affect the growth of the dragon, and it will not endanger life."
Lu Xuan replied in the affirmative.
This answer also reassured everyone a lot.
The young monk removed the golden ring on Shui Linjiao's body, and the pale white dragon was filled with a faint spiritual light, covering the wound left by Lu Xuan.
After treating himself himself, Shui Linjiao looked in the direction where Lu Xuan was and roared at him gratefully.
Lu Xuan watched it disappear into the water, came back to his senses, and continued to draw blood to probe the remaining dragon pythons.
There was no trace of a new cryptoscale fish in the dragon behind him, which made the young monk next to him relax a lot.
"It's hard work Senior Brother Lu this time."
He handed Lu Xuan a black cloth bag, which was bulging and contained a lot of spirit stones.
"Senior brother is polite."
"Although the Hidden Scale Fish has been discovered by me, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no other things hidden, so I have to bring the dragon essence blood back to the cave and study it carefully."
Lu Xuan instructed a few words, took the cloth bag with a smile, and checked it imperceptibly, he was experienced, and suddenly felt that the weight in his hand was a little inconsistent with the number of spirit stones that the monk had raised before, and it was obviously heavier.
He put the cloth bag in the storage bag.
"Senior Brother Lu, help me take a look first!"
"Senior brother, look at me, look at me, the Jiaolong I manage is the closest to here."
"Don't worry, senior brothers, you'll take a good look."
Lu Xuan said gently.
The double temptation of spirit stone and dragon essence blood, if you want him not to go, you can't do it!
He chose a monk at random, and with his ecstatic expression, he went to the body of water where the monk was.
The first time I was born, the second time I was cooked, with the previous experience, the speed of blood drawing and examination was a few points faster than before.
Among the dozens of dragon pythons, no abnormal state was found.
Lu Xuan didn't stop and rushed to another house with great momentum.
This scene fell in the eyes of everyone, thinking that he was concerned about the safety of the spirit beasts raised by the same door, and they were all moved, and the unpleasantness that had occurred before completely disappeared.
In this way, Lu Xuan took blood from all the Jiaolong pythons with high intensity and high frequency, and among them, a total of eight Jiaolong pythons were parasitized by cryptoscale fish.
Whenever an abnormality is discovered, the monk behind him will also take the initiative to increase Lu Xuan's remuneration and give him more spirit stones.
There are more and more dragon essence blood in Lu Xuan's storage bag, and the bottles and cans are piled up together, and they are almost a small mountain.
"Senior Brother Lu, what are your opinions about these cryptoscaly fish?"
When the last dragon finished drawing blood, all the dragons in this water area were pumped by Lu Xuan.
"It should be a certain dragon caught from the outside world with a hidden scale fish in its body, and then raised in Qianlong Lake, growing and breeding at the bottom of the lake, and slowly choosing the Jiaolong to parasitize."
Lu Xuan guessed.
