Chapter Seventy-Six: Breaking Free
"Konishi, last night's fish stew was delicious, right?"
Yao Chu, who was facing the dawn, finished a set of warm-up exercises, turned his head and asked happily.
"Well, it's delicious... Wait, you don't have any ghost ideas, do you?" Konishi looked at Yao Chu vigilantly, and every time Yao Chu talked about food, he felt that nothing good was good.
Yao Chu raised his eyebrows and said, "Last night, you ate quickly, what is the means to quickly cool down the hot soup?"
"It's just a martial art, what's wrong?"
"Hehe, I just wanted to ask you, can you freeze the fish and keep the meat fresh?" asked Yao Chu with a shy face.
After all, if the fish can be frozen, the storage time will be greatly extended, so it is not easy to spoil.
Xiaoxi thought for a while: "Then I want to have a big meal at noon, the kind with a lot of dishes!"
"No problem!"
......
"Konishi on!" Yao Chu held a fishing rod and threw a colorful and slender fish caught in a fishing net made of fishing lines to Konishi.
Konishi was unusually nimble, dodging the aerial attack of the fish, and a cold air came out of his palm, freezing the colorful fish that were still in the air into ice sculptures.
However, the size of the ice sculpture is a bit large, and the weight is not light, so the ice sculpture naturally crossed Konishi's arm and fell to the ground with a "snap", all of which were broken into pieces.
“......”
"Ahem... I think it's okay to have such a big piece of fish at noon today..."Suddenly, Konishi pointed to the broken piece of fish and said, breaking the silence between the two.
The so-called close to Zhu is red, and close to ink is black. If you stay with a fool for a long time, you will be infected.
Ever since he stayed with Yaochu for a long time, Xiaoxi felt as if he had become a little strange, especially since he would say such a thing in this situation!
Konishi slapped his forehead and sighed long.
And Yao Chu listened to Xiaoxi's words and was immediately choked.
Hey, how do you feel familiar?
And it doesn't quite look like something that can come out of Konishi's mouth.
"Eh, why does it feel weird? Forget it, put it away, and eat it at noon today!"
Yao Chu shook his head, no longer paying attention to the weird illusions, and continued to put his energy into Tianhe, which was really an inexhaustible treasure house.
With his eyes closed, Yao Chu pinned his mind on the fishing line, exploring the wide Tianhe with all his might.
In his perception, the more towards the central area, the more dense the fish, the more diverse the species, more and more unknown fish are also challenging Yao Chu's cognition, even if he did record all the "Tianhe Spirit Fish Collection" in his mind last night, but there are still a lot of fish that Yao Chu has no clue at all.
But for the sake of safety, Yao Chu will not take the initiative to provoke those fish that seem dangerous, but for example, the colorful fish before is the fish recorded in the "Tianhe Spirit Fish Collection", the danger is not high, but it has a certain value.
Although it was broken by Xiaoxi, Yao Chu didn't mean to blame, Xiao Xi was willing to accompany Yao Chu to a dangerous place and did his best, why ask others for anything, besides, there are so many fish in Tianhe, it's not that this one is missing. And how did it realize its value when it was brought to the table today?
Yao Chu's fishing line wandered around the river, looking for valuable fish.
But almost all the fish in the sight were not very valuable, and Yao Chu could only barely grab a few and throw them to Xiaoxi, which was a fraction of a little.
As the fishing line deepened, a huge turtle actually took the initiative to approach the Yaochu fishing line leisurely, with a full square turtle shell, and there was a stone like a mountain peak on the turtle shell, which was covered with all kinds of creatures, mussels, crabs, and even many small fish and shrimp, all of which survived in the mountain peaks and stone gaps above its turtle shell.
It crept close to the bottom of the river, stretched out its long, thick head in front of Yao Chu and swooped down, crushing the skull of an unidentified fish that was not very vigilant with its fangs, and devouring it with great gusto. The parasites living on its shell also began to eat the fish with it, and even some accidentally swallowed by the turtle and its prey, but it did not deter any fish and shrimp that ate with the turtle.
Yao Chu was stunned, there were turtles in the river! And they were very strange turtles, with a set of ecosystems on their bodies.
However, the author of "Lingyu Collection"... It's very sincere, and the introduction is really only fish, and the other aliens Yao Chu didn't see it at all.
However, Yao Chu was suddenly undecided, is this turtle worth the spirit stone?
However, Yao Chu remembered that the defense of the turtle shell should be very high, so it is more valuable, right?
But I just don't know if the turtle shell that is crushed by the stone is worth the spirit stone, but even if it is not worth it, it can be used as a souvenir!
Yao Chu thought about it for a while, and finally decided to catch the slow turtle.
Secretly, the silk threads hidden in the water have been weaved, and a huge net has been formed, waiting for the turtle to enter it.
At this time, the turtle was devouring the unlucky fish little by little, slowly, without noticing the approach of danger.
Just as the turtle was about to finish devouring its last fishtail, a glittering fishing net appeared beside the turtle, completely enveloping it.
But the turtle did not panic at all, and even ate the last bit of leftovers, stretched out his four paws and paddled into the water, scattering the blood.
Finally, the well-fed turtle slowly tucked its head and limbs into the broad tortoise shell, this kind of thing it has encountered a lot, those ferocious predators can't move its shell at all, and it is impossible to swallow the small peaks on its body into the mouth, which is also the reason why it wants to build an inconvenient mountain, so there is no need to worry at all, they will leave soon.
However, Yao Chu was no ordinary predator, and he didn't need to pry open his tortoise shell, but dragged his entire tortoise out of the water and froze it.
In the process of pulling the turtle out of the water with all his might, the turtle finally noticed that something was wrong, it was rapidly approaching the water!
Although almost no creature in the water can open its shell, it is different on the shore, and even a hard shell cannot save it from the water for a long time.
The turtle, which had been unhurried, finally panicked, stretched out its head and limbs from its shell, and tried to bite the fishing net that enveloped it in a panic.
But under Yao Chu's control, the fishing net flexibly passed through its limbs, locking its torso firmly in the fishing net, and its limbs were outside the fishing net, and its head could not bite the fishing line on its neck.
At this time, the turtle finally really panicked, it had seen the bright water, and saw a figure with a fishing rod in the waves.
It flipped its body desperately, turning again and again, the violent force was exerted on the fishing line, Yao Chu on the shore suddenly increased the pressure, and his whole body was dragged forward for a long distance, and it was not easy to stabilize his body, and the fishing rod in his hand was also fiercely pulled into a U-shape!
At this time, as the turtle flipped, the fishing nets that were getting tighter and tighter were tighter on the turtle shell, and the small peaks on the turtle shell were also wrapped around the tough fishing nets, which intensified the tightness of the fishing nets, but as the turtle rotated desperately, the tighter and tighter fishing line was almost to the limit of toughness!
However, the tortoise's condition is also quite bad, and the line is entangled not only in its shell, but also in its limbs. Under the tighter and tighter fishing line, its limbs have been deeply strangled into the flesh, and the scarlet blood melts into the river, but it cannot stop its pursuit of life.
"Bang bang bang!"
Eventually, the line couldn't withstand the tortoise's frantic struggle, and began to break in large numbers.
Yao Chu's fishing net was finally broken!
In an instant, the desperate turtle finally broke free from the shackles of the fishing net, although it was injured, its limbs were still swimming forward desperately, and even the small peaks on its body had fallen off, and disappeared into Yao Chu's perception at a speed that Yao Chu was dumbfounded.
Yao Chu looked at his broken fishing net and suddenly felt bad: "This special cooked duck can still run!"
"Just run, and break my fishing net!"
The distressed Yao Chu hurriedly withdrew the fishing line, and it was initially estimated that about one-fifth of the fishing line had been lost, all of which were torn off by the turtle, and many of them were still wrapped around the turtle.
The only catch was a small mountain where the turtle was entangled, as if it was useless, and Yao Chu casually threw it aside.
The breaking of the fishing net also shows that Yao Chu's fishing trip is estimated to be greatly shortened.
Yao Chu, who wanted to cry without tears, looked at the direction where the turtle was gone, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Sooner or later, one day I will stew you in soup!"
After the incident, Yao Chu still understood, some fish that didn't understand should not move, and if you are not careful, you have to accompany the old book!
However, Yao Chu's fishing trip still has to continue, after all, the medicine can't be stopped, and the spirit stone can't be stopped.
Yao Chu regrouped and continued to control the fishing line and explore towards a more central area.
On the way, Yao Chu met a lot of hideous and terrifying unknown species, including soft creatures with tentacles all over their bodies, and reptiles with strange and hideous armor, but Yao Chu all stayed away, why should creatures that were not easy to mess with at first glance come forward.
Suddenly, a fish with a sharp and slender snout appeared in Yao Chu's perception, and Yao Chu's face was happy.
This fish is one of the few fish that Yao Chu thinks is of high value and low risk, as long as it is not hit by its snout, it basically has no ability to hurt people.
The spirit swordfish is extremely fast in the water, the adult swordfish can reach a zhang long, has a slender snout, can reach one-third of the length of the body, and the sharpness can pierce almost any obstacle, plus its own speed, it has no natural enemies.
And its snout is also the most valuable part of this fish, which can be used to forge various divine weapons, and has been in the area of abundant spiritual energy for a long time, its snout can even be directly used as a simple spirit stone, and directly absorb and restore its own aura at dangerous moments, so the value is extremely high, but it is also difficult to catch, and its speed alone is unmatched by anyone in the water.
Yao Chu's face was hard to hide, if he caught this spirit swordfish, he would be able to achieve half of his purpose of coming to Tianhe, which could be said to greatly reduce the time he spent.
But after the joy, Yao Chu had a headache, it is also one of the most difficult fish to catch, what do you use to catch it?
Yao Chu watched it flash in the area near the fishing line, one would appear here, the next would run there, Yao Chu could only see it swinging its tail slightly, and its body appeared in another place as if it was teleporting.
How do you catch such fish?
Yao Chu frowned, thinking about what countermeasures he had, if he was not careful, he might waste all the remaining fishing lines, and he wouldn't even be able to catch a ball.
