Chapter 292: The Sea Beast Strikes
"Senior Lu, I have a dragon carp in this pool, but somehow, I have been feeling that its growth state is not very good recently."
"Can you please take a look at it for me?"
Song Sining's black and white eyes looked at Lu Xuan, and he mustered up the courage to ask softly.
"Yes, you summon it."
Lu Xuan said gently, he had made up so much common sense of spirit beasts in the Heavenly Sword Sect's Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and he had rich experience in raising them, so he was full of confidence in the spirit beast raised by a little girl who practiced qi at the third layer.
Besides, it really can't be solved, you can also feed something and check the detailed state of the spirit beast.
The surface of the pool kept pouring out bubbles, and soon, a large fish emerged from the water.
The big fish is more than half a zhang long, with a slender body, somewhat similar to the dragon, with fine pale red scales on the body, and two red whiskers constantly swaying and shaking in the water.
Lu Xuan's spiritual sense swept over, and he sensed that the fluctuation of the big fish's spiritual power was probably at the level of a first-grade demon beast, but at a glance, he had no vitality, and he stopped on the surface of the water weakly.
"Senior Lu, this is the dragon carp I raised, a second-grade demon beast, but my head is still in the growth period, and its strength is equivalent to that of a first-grade demon beast."
Lu Xuan nodded slightly, and his spiritual sense carefully searched every part of the dragon carp's body, trying to find out the root of the problem.
"What does this dragon carp usually eat?"
After a closer inspection, he didn't find anything abnormal, and Lu Xuan asked the little girl.
"On weekdays, I will raise some demon insects, small fish and shrimp, and in addition, dragon carp can also eat the silver silk algae in the pool." Song Sining replied truthfully.
"You go and get some demon insects that the dragon carp usually eats, I'll see if it's a food problem, and feed it some by the way, deepen the feelings, so that I can better check."
Song Sining hurriedly ran to the house and took out a few insects of different shapes.
Lu Xuan picked up a gray-white ring-shaped insect and threw it in front of the dragon carp.
The dragon carp instantly became energetic, quickly swam in front of the gray and white worm, and swallowed it in one bite.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan's mind condensed on the dragon carp in the pool, and soon learned the details about it.
[Dragon carp, a second-grade demon beast, has an extremely thin true dragon blood in its body, which has been diluted for countless generations, and it is almost nothing. 】
[Feed on demon insects, fish and shrimp, and seaweed, and are born with great strength, and can comprehend simple water system techniques by themselves after maturity. 】
[Due to the limited range of activities and the poor water quality of the growing environment, it is in a rather sluggish state. 】
"I see, it's easy and effective to feed something."
Lu Xuan thought secretly in his heart.
This dragon carp actually has an extremely thin trace of true dragon blood, but just listening to bluffing, even compared with the dragon python and the others in Qianlong Lake, it is much worse.
"Probably the problem has been found."
"The dragon carp is a second-grade demon beast that grows in the wide sea area and can swim freely and unrestrained."
"And you, the dragon carp, grew up in such a shallow pool, and when it was first raised, it didn't feel the difference, but when it grows up, this pool is a kind of imprisonment for it."
"In addition, the water quality in the sea is different from that on the island, which makes this dragon carp a little uncomfortable, so it slowly loses its vitality and becomes what it is now."
Lu Xuan smiled and said to Song Sining.
"If conditions permit, you can take this dragon carp out for a walk in the offshore sea to release its nature, and in addition, you need to change the water in the pool regularly to better simulate the growth environment that the dragon carp needs."
"So that's the problem."
Song Sining opened his mouth slightly, and suddenly realized.
"Senior Lu is worthy of being from a famous family, and he can see the problem of my spirit beast at a glance."
She looked at Lu Xuan with admiration in her eyes.
Lu Xuan asked her about some common knowledge of water spiritual cultivation spirit beasts, and then left with Song Yun.
On the way, he suddenly noticed a white jade talisman on his waist trembling.
Lu Xuan's heart tightened, the talisman was a communication talisman left by Song Yu, which was used for emergency contact, and when it sounded, it meant that there was an abnormal situation on the Empty Styx Island that the Song family could not solve smoothly.
He quickly took off the talisman, and a wisp of spiritual power seeped into it, and Song Yu's voice came from the talisman that looked a little anxious.
"Senior Uncle Lu, I'm afraid that a large number of sea beasts will invade this sea area where the Empty Spirit Fish is raised, so I also invite Uncle Lu to come to the town."
"Okay, I got it."
"Senior Lu took me with you."
Hearing this, Song Yun had a eager expression on his face, he had been practicing swordsmanship under Lu Xuan for a long time, and it was rare to encounter an opportunity to check the results, so he naturally refused to miss it.
Lu Xuan nodded, and the purple electric sword surged with spiritual power, enveloping Song Yun, and came to the sea where Song Yu was at a gallop.
In the vast sea area, Song Yu and hundreds of Song Family Qi cultivators scattered, staring closely at the sea in the distance.
"What's going on?"
Lu Xuan stopped in front of Song Yu, put Song Yun down, and asked with a calm expression.
Seeing him like this, Song Yu, who was originally restless, eased a lot, as if he had found the backbone of his heart.
"That's the case, Uncle Lu, the monks of the Song family patrolling the sea noticed that there was an obvious abnormality in the nearby seas, and it is likely that a large number of sea beasts will invade the area where the Empty Spirit Fish are raised."
"A large number of sea beasts have invaded? Is this situation more common? ”
"Not much."
"The Empty Spirit Fish is of great benefit to many sea beasts and sea fish, and it is a natural and superior tonic, so there are often sea beasts who want to sneak in and hunt spirit fish."
"Generally, there are two ways, to sneak in from the bottom of the sea and poach the empty spirit fish, and the other is to forcibly attack the defense line arranged by the Song family and hunt the spirit fish while there is chaos."
"The second situation is relatively rare, but once it happens, if the protection is not thorough, it may lead to a large number of empty spirit fish being hunted and huge losses."
"So, Uncle Lu, I'll trouble you to come to the town later, and if there is an emergency, I will ask Uncle Lu to suppress it with thunder."
Song Yu said with a solemn expression.
"Don't worry, with me, there will be no accidents."
Lu Xuan said confidently.
He looked around and found that he was in a sunken sea, with one side backed by an island and two sides blocked by a large number of reef walls, which could provide some protection.
The most important part is the part of the frontal contact with the boundless sea.
After he entered the Empty Styx Island, he learned some relevant information, because the terrain here is peculiar, the water quality is special, suitable for the growth and reproduction of the Empty Soul Fish, so the Song family demarcated this sea area to specifically raise the Empty Soul Fish.
In terms of protection, due to the fact that the frontal contact with the Boundless Sea is nearly ten miles, and the water depth in the surrounding area is a hundred zhang, unless it is a five-grade high-level formation, the rest of the ordinary formations cannot have an obvious effect.
The Song family could only lay some simple protective devices and send monks to patrol day and night, so that they could better defend this sea area.
"Here we are."
He sensed movement in the depths of the sea and whispered.
