Chapter 15 Big Fish! Magical Fish Stone
At a bay, Lu Qing finally found a new fishing spot.
[Primary fishing spots: places with rich nutrition and abundant aquatic plants, which are favorite places for fish to forage. ]
[There are strange fruits growing here, which are the favorite food of some strange fish. If you fish here, you may get a surprise.]
The white light it emitted was much stronger than that of the primary fishing spot discovered before.
"There are strange fruits growing on it?"
Lu Qing looked up and searched the shore of the fishing spot.
Soon, several strange-looking plants caught his attention.
Under the detection of supernatural powers, these plants also emit white light.
[Blood apricot tree: It can produce blood apricots, which are non-toxic and can be used as medicine. ]
[It is rumored that blood apricots contain a special substance that is very popular with some strange fish. ]
"Blood apricots?"
Lu Qing looked at the little red fruits the size of his little finger hanging on the tree.
Is this the exotic fruit that strange fish likes to eat?
He felt an idea in his mind and walked forward.
Fortunately, the blood apricot tree was not very tall, so he picked a handful of blood apricots easily.
"Brother, this fruit looks delicious."
When Xiaoyan saw the red blood apricots in Lu Qing's hand, she couldn't help swallowing.
“This is not for eating.”
Although the information detected by supernatural powers indicated that blood apricots were non-toxic.
But it also said that this thing could be used as medicine. Since it was a medicine, Lu Qing didn't dare to give it to Xiaoyan.
"If it's not for eating, then what are you picking it for?"
"Fishing. Some fish like to eat this kind of fruit. My brother wants to try to catch big fish with it." Lu Qing explained.
"Big Fish also likes to eat fruits?" Xiaoyan's eyes suddenly widened.
"Yes, Yuyu likes to eat a lot of things, such as earthworms, fruits, corn, and grass."
"You also like to eat corn and grass?!" The little guy's eyes widened even more.
It was the first time she knew these things, and she immediately felt it was so magical.
"So Xiaoyan can't eat this fruit. It's for catching big fish."
"Yeah! Xiaoyan understands!" The little girl nodded repeatedly.
Compared to fruits, she is more interested in big fish.
"Xiaoyan, wait here first. I'll take care of this area."
After telling Xiaoyan not to run around, Lu Qing tied the short-handled hatchet he brought to a wooden stick and began to clear the weeds and trees on the shore of the fishing spot.
Lu Qing had done things like organizing fishing spots countless times in his previous life, so he was naturally familiar with it when he did it again.
Before long, he cleared the weeds and trees on the shore and created a good fishing spot.
However, he did not touch the blood apricot trees. After all, they were white light level plants and were still very valuable.
After the fishing spot was repaired, Lu Qing prepared to start fishing.
He still hadn't built a nest, and the food at home was not enough for him to squander like this.
Anyway, the rivers in this other world are rich in resources, and there are natural fishing spots selected using his supernatural powers. Even if he doesn't bait the fish, he is still confident that he can catch fish.
Sitting on the shore, Lu Qing still planned to start with earthworms to ensure food for the next two days.
Put on the earthworm, throw the hook into the water, and the float will fall on the water surface.
It is worthy of being selected by the supernatural power. It is the fishing spot with the most intense white light among several fishing spots.
Lu Qing had just put down the fishing hook, and before he put down the fishing rod, he saw that the float was already moving.
It trembled a few times at first, then plunged down suddenly.
Lu Qing flicked his wrist, a whistling sound was heard, and the fish was immediately pulled up.
The fish was not big, just a small white fish two fingers wide.
Lu Qing raised his eyebrows. It seemed that this little white fish was one of the most common fish in this river. It could be found everywhere.
"It's a little white fish!"
Xiaoyan also saw the appearance of the hooked fish and immediately shouted.
"Well, little white fish, it looks like we're going to have a big catch today."
Lu Qing took the fish off and put it into the bucket.
A fish was hooked so quickly, and the smooth start gave him a hunch that he might be able to catch a big one today.
Thinking of this, Lu Qing's spirits suddenly perked up.
However, the following developments were somewhat beyond Lu Qing's expectations.
After catching a few more small fish, he put down the hook again, but after a long time, there was no sign of any fish taking the bait.
"If the small fish don't bite, it's either because there are no fish or there are big fish below driving away the small fish."
The experienced Lu Qing immediately made his own judgment.
He decisively lifted the fishhook, removed the earthworm on it, and then took out a small cloth bag.
"It's a secret weapon!"
Xiaoyan recognized it immediately. These were the things her brother had packed away when he left home.
Lu Qing opened the cloth bag and took out a few yellow objects from it.
Those were just a few grains of fresh corn.
Lu Qing asked Aunt Wang next door for this corn in the morning, with the intention of using it as bait.
In his previous life, when Lu Qing went fishing in the wild, he basically used corn if he wanted to catch big fish.
Species like carp and grass carp particularly like to eat corn, and it works every time.
He wasn't sure if the big fish in this world were the same, but he had to give it a try.
If that doesn't work, he plans to try freshly picked blood apricots.
Lu Qing hung a plump fresh corn on the fishhook and started fishing again.
What he didn't expect was that this time, it was beyond his expectations again.
The fishing hook had just entered the water and the float had not yet come to a steady state, and he was half-squatting and trying to sit down.
Suddenly, without any warning, the float sank into the water and disappeared. The fishing line was tightened. A huge force came from the fishing rod, causing Lu Qing to stagger.
Fortunately, Lu Qing reacted quickly and took a step forward to stabilize his body.
"Good fellow, a sneak attack, huh?"
Holding the fishing rod tightly with both hands and feeling the pulling force from the fishing rod, Lu Qing's face was filled with excitement.
Big fish, this is definitely a big fish!
Such power is definitely not something a fish weighing less than five kilograms can exert.
Howl!
Seeing that it couldn't break free, the fish below started to exert force again, pulling the fishing line so hard that it made a whistling sound.
"Want to slip away from me? No way!"
Seeing the fish below exerting force again, Lu Qing did not panic at all. He loosened his hand slightly and relieved most of the pulling force.
Then he tightened it again and continued to exert force with the fish angle below.
The new fishing rod he made has been certified by supernatural powers and can withstand a force of 100 kilograms. He doesn't believe that the fish can break it.
"Come on, brother!"
Xiaoyan, who was standing by, was also very nervous at this time.
But she didn't dare shout loudly for fear of scaring away the big fish, so she could only clench her fists and cheer her brother on in a low voice.
The following time began the battle of wits and strength between Lu Qing and Yu.
The two sides pulled the fish back and forth for half an hour before Lu Qing felt the fish's strength begin to weaken.
"Finally I've tired you out." Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
This struggle consumed a lot of his energy.
If he hadn't received an acupuncture injection from Doctor Chen two days ago and restored a lot of his strength, he might not have been able to defeat this guy.
After the fish reached its limit, it was even more impossible for it to escape from Lu Qing's palm.
After a while, with Lu Qing's renewed effort, the big fish that had been wrestling with him for a long time finally surfaced.
The brother and sister finally saw the true face of the fish.
"What a big fish!"
When Xiaoyan saw the fish's head and back, she couldn't help but scream.
Even Lu Qing couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Wow, judging from its size, this fish must weigh more than ten kilograms.
Restraining his inner excitement, Lu Qing continued to hold the fishing rod tightly.
When it comes to fishing, the closer it gets to the end, the more you can’t relax.
Otherwise, if he accidentally let the fish escape at the last moment, he would be so upset when he thinks about it on his 80th birthday.
However, despite being very careful, something unexpected happened when Lu Qing was about to catch the fish.
Because he discovered a very important problem.
That means he didn't prepare a landing net!
Of course, this can't really be blamed on him, since there was no such thing as a scoop net at home.
Not to mention a scoop net, there wasn't even a net bag.
Without a landing net, Lu Qing couldn't catch fish at will, so he could only choose to continue slipping away.
He waited until the fish was completely out of strength before letting Xiaoyan hold the fishing rod while he lay on the shore, intending to catch the fish himself.
Doing this is actually dangerous, because if a fish of this size still has some energy left, it may knock a person unconscious with a flick of its tail.
Fortunately, Lu Qing had indeed slipped the fish away until it had no more strength left.
In the end, everything went smoothly and Lu Qing finally caught the fish.
“Brother, this big fish seems to be taller than Xiaoyan!”
When Lu Qing carried the fish to the shore far away from the river, Xiaoyan gestured and was immediately amazed.
“It seems to be a little higher.”
Lu Qing took a look and it seemed to be true.
This big fish is more than one meter long. If you lift it up, it is actually a little taller than Xiaoyan.
"Let me see what kind of fish this is."
Lu Qing saw this big fish with a slender body and scales on its body that were as neat and shiny as scales of armor, which made it look a bit domineering.
He immediately used his special ability to check the information of the big fish.
As he looked over, he soon saw a strong white light emerging from the big fish.
“It’s white light.”
Lu Qing felt a little disappointed.
He was also wondering if it was possible for such a large fish to reach the red light level.
But on second thought, he felt that he was too greedy.
If this big fish is of red light level, it is still unclear whether he can pull it up.
You know, he has only seen things at the red light level twice.
One is Doctor Chen, and the other is snow silk.
Both of these are extraordinary.
Doctor Chen is a cultivator, and snow silk is a rare treasure.
If this big fish also reaches the red light level, it might have some special abilities.
In that case, it’s hard to say who will pull whom.
Maybe he would be dragged into the water in the first round.
After calming down, Lu Qing turned his attention to the newly appeared note.
[Blue turtle: A large fish with blue scales on its body. It is the king of the river and contains fish stones. ]
[It is said that there is a fish stone in the throat of a grown green turtle. If you take it, polish it and wear it, it will have the effect of calming the soul and calming the mind.]
When Lu Qing saw the message on the note clearly, he was suddenly surprised.
Fish stone!
This big fish that was just caught actually has fish stones!
Lu Qing was not unfamiliar with fish stones.
In his previous life, he once caught a wild big blue carp weighing more than 20 kilograms, which had a fish stone in its body.
At that time, a boss offered to buy it from him for over ten thousand yuan, but he refused to sell it.
As for the reason, besides liking it, it is naturally because there has always been a rumor in the fishing circle.
It is a fish stone of sufficient age that has the function of ensuring safety.
Lu Qing was not sure whether the fish stone from his previous life could guarantee safety.
But now, the fish stone in the green turtle's body was identified by his supernatural power as having the effect of calming the soul and calming the mind.
It just so happened that Xiaoyan had not been able to sleep well at night since her parents passed away. She often woke up from her dreams and needed him to hold her before she could continue sleeping.
It would be great if the green turtle's fish stone was really that magical.
In his excitement, Lu Qing almost couldn't help but cut open the green turtle.
Fortunately, he was still rational and finally controlled himself.
"Brother, how are we going to take this big fish home? The bucket seems too small to hold it all." Xiaoyan asked with some distress.
She had just gestured that this big fish was much taller than the wooden barrel they brought and could not fit it at all.
"It's okay. I'll roll a straw rope and carry it back directly!" Lu Qing said confidently.
It’s just a big fish weighing ten or twenty kilograms.
The fish have been caught, so are you still worried about not being able to bring them back?
"Is that so? Then shall we continue fishing?" Xiaoyan asked again.
This question stumped Lu Qing.
Based on his usual experience, he had just struggled with the green turtle for so long, and it had traveled all over the water area near the fishing spot.
Usually at this time, the fishing spot below would have collapsed, and even if there were fish, they would have all run away.
But when he thought of the blood apricots he had picked earlier, he became a little hesitant.
According to the information provided by the supernatural power, blood apricots are the favorite food of some strange fish.
As a senior fishing enthusiast, he is very curious about the so-called strange fish.
What is so special about this ability that can be described as "strange"?
Even this green turtle with fish stone did not seem to be able to be called a miracle by the supernatural power.
What exactly is this so-called strange fish?
After hesitating for a while, Lu Qing finally decided to fish for a while longer.
They are said to be strange fish. What if they are not afraid of the green turtle and are not scared away?
So, hoping for such a chance, Lu Qing filled a bucket of water, put the green turtle head down, barely soaked it in the bucket, and then sat down at the fishing spot.
However, he made up his mind to fish for a while.
After a while, if there is still no fish caught, go home, otherwise the green turtle will not last long.
Dead fish is not as delicious as fresh fish.
After getting ready again, Lu Qing directly hung the blood apricot on the fishhook.
Throwing the fishing hook into the water, he began to wait quietly.
Time passed by minute by minute, and soon, half an hour had passed.
The fishing float didn't move at all, as if it was still.
"It's really a disaster. Even the strange fish can't be avoided." Lu Qing sighed.
This result did not surprise him.
It's just that he was still holding on to a glimmer of hope.
"Let's go back."
Just when Lu Qing was about to pack up his fishing rod and go home.
Suddenly, he saw the fishing float suddenly dive into the water!
