Chapter 16 Red Moon Carp
!!!
The sudden bite caught Lu Qing off guard.
Fortunately, he has many years of fishing experience and his reactions are always good.
In just a moment, he gripped the fishing rod tightly and steadied his body, thus avoiding being dragged into the water with the rod.
The force used in this pull was not much less than that of the green turtle before!
"Good fellow, you fish from another world all like to launch sneak attacks, right?"
Feeling the pulling force from the pole, Lu Qing was a little amused.
Being an experienced angler, he almost failed twice today and had to make a nest by himself.
The big fish in this other world are a bit unsportsmanlike. They don't give any prelude before biting the hook and often launch sneak attacks.
If he hadn't been so experienced, they would have succeeded.
However, since the first sneak attack failed, then all of you come up!
Lu Qing held the fishing rod tightly with both hands, constantly sensing the changes in the force on the rod and reacting at any time, starting a new round of wrestling contest with the fish underwater.
After fighting for a while, Lu Qing found something wrong.
He originally thought that the newly caught fish would be a big fish like the green turtle.
After all, the force of its first drag was quite strong.
But now, he felt different.
It is different from the blue turtle's powerful and unstoppable force.
Now, although this fish has great power, it lacks stamina.
As long as Lu Qing can maintain his initial sprint, its force will soon weaken.
It's the type that has more than enough bursts but cannot last long.
Based on his experience, Lu Qing guessed that the fish under the water was probably not as big as he thought.
Rather, it is a kind of fish that swims very fast, has strong explosive power, but is not very large in size.
After knowing this, Lu Qing felt more at ease.
Fish that sprint at high speed are much easier to deal with than big fish like green turtles.
A big fish like the green turtle is very strong, and he would have to be extremely careful to deal with any slight exertion of force.
And endurance is also good, it all depends on the patience of both sides.
For a fish that sprints and explodes, as long as it can hold on during its initial struggle, its strength will gradually decrease and it will not be able to escape at all.
Things turned out just as Lu Qing had expected.
After several attempts to stabilize the unknown fish underwater, he clearly felt that the force of its explosion began to weaken.
Then, after a while of pulling, Lu Qing saw the outline of the fish.
"Red fish?"
When Lu Qing saw the fish on the hook float to the surface of the water, he was stunned.
Because he saw that the fish was a bright red color.
Strange fish, this is definitely a strange fish!
Seeing such a dazzling bright red color, Lu Qing's heart suddenly became excited.
At the same time, he also saw that this red fish was indeed not very big, only about 20 to 30 centimeters long.
After having a clear idea in mind, Lu Qing found it easier to fish.
Before long, the fish was almost out of strength after being stretched out by him, and he pulled it up directly.
"Brother, this fish is so beautiful!"
Xiaoyan looked at the fish on the grass with shining eyes.
"It is very beautiful."
After Lu Qing saw the appearance of the fish clearly, he couldn't help but admire it.
The newly caught fish was about one foot long, with a slender body, and looked a bit like the carp on the blue planet in the previous life.
There are two long flowing whiskers at the corners of its mouth, and its tail looks like a flower.
Coupled with its flame-red scales, the whole fish looks very beautiful.
After watching for a while, information about the fish began to appear in front of Lu Qing.
[Red Moon Carp: A strange fish, covered with red scales, swimming at an incredibly fast speed.]
[Because it contains a trace of spiritual charm, its meat is extremely nutritious and delicious, and its scales can also be used as medicine. ]
[It is rumored that if the Red Moon Carp is properly cultivated, there is a slight chance that it will evolve into a spiritual fish.]
Along with a few notes, there was also a white light with a hint of red emanating from his body.
"Red light?"
At first, Lu Qing thought he had seen it wrong.
The red light was reflected by the scales on the Red Moon Carp.
But after careful identification, he confirmed that it was not the refraction of the scales, but was indeed a light that could only be seen by his special ability and could represent the level of the object.
In other words, this Red Moon Carp is not just at the white light level.
Instead, it is a strange fish with a quality between white light and red light.
No wonder, he said why there were three notes.
Normally, white light items only have two description notes.
He immediately focused his attention on the description in the third note.
"There is a slight chance of evolving into a spirit fish..." Lu Qing looked at the third note and thought, "Could this spirit fish be a higher level existence than the strange fish?"
He suddenly remembered the snow silk that the old doctor had given him.
Snow silk is already a red light-level treasure, so could the snow silkworm that gave birth to such a treasure be a spiritual silkworm?
Unfortunately, this speculation is destined to remain unanswered for the time being.
Even Doctor Chen didn't know the origin of snow silk. Even if he wanted to ask, he had no one to ask.
Therefore, the description in the second note would be more useful to him than the description in the third note.
“The meat is extremely delicious and nutritious…”
Lu Qing looked at the message on the note and couldn't help but smile.
The gift I’m going to take to see Dr. Chen tomorrow finally arrives.
He had originally planned to carry the green turtle to the old doctor if he didn't catch anything.
But now, it is obvious that the Red Moon Carp is more precious.
And it is not too big, so it is more suitable as a gift.
Thinking of this, Lu Qing hurriedly took out the green turtle and put the red moon carp into the bucket.
Since it's a gift, we can't let it die.
Fortunately, the Red Moon Carp is indeed a rare fish. Although it had no strength left after being walked around by Lu Qing, it stayed on the grass for a long time.
But after it came into contact with water in the bucket, it immediately started swimming again.
The vitality is quite strong.
After getting the Red Moon Carp, Lu Qing no longer had any thoughts of continuing fishing.
After fighting wits and courage with two big fish in a row, his physical strength has been almost exhausted.
If he continued fishing, even if he could catch more fish, he would not have the energy to continue fishing.
So it’s better to quit while you’re ahead.
"Xiaoyan, let's get ready to go back."
Lu Qing used local materials to make a straw rope, tied up the green turtle and carried it on his back.
He held a bucket in one hand and a hatchet and fishing rod in the other, then said to Xiaoyan.
"Brother, let me get you something."
Xiaoyan felt distressed when she saw her brother carrying so many things on his back.
"That's fine."
Lu Qing tried to walk and found that there were too many things there and it was indeed not easy to walk.
After thinking for a while, he hung the bamboo tube containing earthworms around Xiaoyan's neck.
Then he put the fishing rod on her shoulder.
"Xiaoyan, you carry this fishing rod. Walk carefully and don't fall."
"Okay, Xiaoyan understands!" The little girl nodded seriously.
In this way, the brother and sister walked back with great difficulty, one carrying the fish and the other carrying the fishing rod.
When passing by the small fish fishing spot, the villagers saw two figures, one big and one small, and were stunned.
