Chapter 210 Fish monsters are also fish and can be caught!
The two Fire Dragon Dao soldiers waited for a while in front of Grols's painting, and captured two more fish monsters summoned by the ritual.
"Hey, little fish monster, don't be afraid."
The Fire Dragon Taoist soldier forcefully carried the fish monster to the experimental table in front of Lu Feng, waiting for Lu Feng to study and process it.
In the situation where it was powerless to resist, even the fish monster, as a monster, had fear in its big watery eyes.
For a moment, they all began to doubt their own identities.
Who is the monster?
In fear, the three fish monsters thought about resisting, but they were frightened by the scorching heat from the Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers and became limp all over.
Under Lu Feng's training, the Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers have extremely strong fiery energy, which is not something a small minion like the fish monster can resist.
The three fish monsters had no strength to resist and could only collapse on the experimental table, allowing Lu Feng to slaughter them.
"What a pity! This painting can only summon three monsters before it becomes ineffective. What a waste!"
Lu Feng looked at the faded painting after summoning the fish monster and said with regret.
Since this was the first time we came into contact with the extraordinary creatures in the Western Regions, the more experimental samples the better.
Unfortunately, the fish monster summoning ritual passed down by the Grols family is very simple and its effect is very limited.
Lu Feng also learned from Grols the origin of the tradition of summoning fish monsters.
It is said that Grols's ancestor was an ordinary seaside fisherman. Once when he was out at sea fishing, he encountered a fog and accidentally saw some strange things in the fog.
After escaping from the fog by chance and returning home, Grols's ancestors locked themselves in the fog without eating or drinking, and created a painting to summon a fish monster. With the help of the , Grols's ancestors also laid a foundation in the coastal town and passed down a considerable family.
However, when it was passed down to later generations, the ritual for summoning the fish monster became increasingly difficult to use, and few people succeeded.
Without the help of the fish monster, Grols's family became weaker and weaker. By Grols's generation, his family had fallen into poverty, and he was the only male left in the family.
Grols' story sounds a bit miserable, but Lu Feng doesn't care about these things. He is more concerned about the fish monsters and other monsters in the Western World.
After activating the ritual summoning and obtaining fresh materials, Lu Feng returned to his old profession as a wizard and began to study the fish monster.
Soon, a fish monster was dissected into pieces by Lu Feng. As the research continued, Lu Feng also summarized various data about the fish monster.
"Fish monster, ordinary water monster, weak in strength (physical fitness is about 1.6 times that of an ordinary person), can swim, can breathe in water, and after coming ashore, it breathes through the skin with the help of body fluids, maintaining combat effectiveness for five to eight days. The body can secrete a fishy-smelling liquid with weak corrosiveness, and the skin is covered with scales, which can resist the stabbing and slashing of ordinary weapons. Weaknesses: afraid of fire and strong light."
A very ordinary monster. Apart from the special effects that come with the summoning ceremony, there is nothing new about it.
The ferocious appearance and strong body are useful for dealing with ordinary people. It is not unreasonable that Grols' ancestors made their fortune by using the fish monster.
However, when dealing with similar supernatural creatures, its combat effectiveness is extremely poor.
Lu Feng compared the mirror monster and the fish monster he caught. One mirror monster can beat three to five fish monsters. If it is in a reflective surface, the mirror monster can even kill three to five fish monsters without any injury.
Snap!
A limp fish monster was thrown at Grols' feet, and Lu Feng gave instructions.
"Here, take this fish monster and see if you can control it!"
According to Grols, their family's bloodline has the ability to control fish monsters. Lu Feng remembered this and threw the remaining fish monsters from the experiment to Grols, asking him to try.
"This? Although it is taught in our family tradition, I haven't tried it for many years, so I don't know if it is useful!"
The fishy smell of fish monster wafted into his nose, and Grols smiled awkwardly. However, under Lu Feng's sharp gaze, he still recalled the family heritage and went up to give it a try.
Grols took out a small knife, gently cut his finger, let some blood drip on the scales of the fish monster's forehead, then closed his eyes and concentrated, chanting a low spell.
As the spell was chanted, Grols's face gradually distorted, and the blood flow under his skin accelerated, turning it red. It was as if he had communicated with some unknown existence, and a strange power gathered in his body. The fishy smell of sea water floated in the air.
"Interesting! I have also tried this spell with the villagers, but it was useless. It seems that the blood of the Grols family is also the key to this spell ritual!"
Looking at the changed Grols, Lu Feng's eyes flickered, as if he wanted to see through the being that Grols was communicating with through his spell.
Unfortunately, Lu Feng had never practiced any pupil techniques, nor had he studied any divine magic. Relying solely on his powerful mental strength, the things he observed seemed to be through a layer of frosted glass, and he could not see clearly.
One could only vaguely feel that Grols' spell was communicating with a powerful being who was related to the sea water.
"It seems that I still need to improve my means of fighting enemies and exploring when I have time! After the initial resource accumulation period, whether it is the plane conquest after the third level or the exploration of the Western world, my current means are totally insufficient." Lu Feng frowned slightly, feeling deeply inadequate.
Grols's ceremony is still going on, and it is going very smoothly. Through the ceremony, Grols connected with the spirit of the fish monster. As long as the fish monster is subdued, Grols can command it at will, which is equivalent to having an extra fish monster thug.
After coming out of Lu Feng's small spiritual realm, the fish monster was frightened by the miserable condition of its companion. Even though it was a monster, it still had basic psychological instincts. It dared not resist and simply lowered its head to Grols.
With Lu Feng's intimidation, Grols easily subdued the fish monster.
"Jump, jump, catch a paper ball."
Grols, who got the new toy, was very happy as he directed the fish monster to do some simple movements.
Being able to command a fish monster, he is now considered an extraordinary professional.
If I go back to my hometown now, just relying on my ability to command the fish monsters and the practice of that sutra, I think it would be easy to restore the glory of my family and ancestors.
However, I'm afraid the boss won't let me go so easily.
"Well done. Next, you should practice the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra and practice commanding the fish monster so that you can protect yourself. Then, move to a bigger house to make it easier for you to live and practice! All that's left is to wait for school to start in half a month!"
Lu Feng glanced at Grols' current room and said with disdain.
"Yes, sir!"
Taking the big bag of gold coins handed over by Lu Feng, Grols held it in his arms. Feeling the heavy concern of the big boss, he nodded vigorously and agreed.
Go home, go back to what home?
If you continue to follow the big boss, it will be absolutely easy to restore the family.
The Grols family in the seaside town is not as prestigious as the Grols family in Voorhees.
A few days later, Grols moved out of the tiny apartment building.
Along with it came the news that a poor painter named Grols had gotten lucky and sold a painting, earning a large sum of money.
The residents in the apartment building all had red eyes with envy.
If Grols hadn't been quick to move into the central city of Voorhees and rent a three-story building away from the apartment building, who knows how many people would have come to visit him!
Living in a small detached building, the spacious space makes Grols feel refreshed.
His reputation as a lucky painter also spread, and he even received some business cooperation for custom paintings.
The city of Voorhees is at the forefront of the steam age, and all kinds of things are booming, including advertising.
However, Grols ruthlessly rejected all commercial cooperation. Didn't he know his own painting level? Although it was okay, it was not enough to become a painter. Otherwise, Grols would not have lived in such a difficult situation before.
With the gold coins given by the boss, Grols has no financial worries for the time being.
Therefore, he now follows the boss's instructions and concentrates on practicing the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra and practicing commanding the fishmen, in preparation for entering the inner courtyard of White Oak University.
The boss needed him to enter the inner courtyard. Grols had received the money and the favor, so he naturally had to do his best.
Lu Feng had seen everything that Grols had done these days.
Grols is not bad, at least he is not stupid, and he seems like a character who has lived a long time.
The gold coins given by Lu Feng could be considered a test for Grols.
If he couldn't handle it well, Lu Feng would choose someone else.
Brainless subordinates are a burden to use.
While Grols was busy practicing, Lu Feng was also studying Grols' bloodline.
The inheritance of the Grols family requires the blood power of Grols. Without the blood power of Grols, the paintings drawn by others are just ordinary paintings and cannot be used as sacrifices to summon the fish monster.
If one could figure out the secret of the Grols family bloodline, he could use it on the villagers of the Qingmu Spirit Realm, or arrange it into a ritual and refine it into a wizard's secret treasure.
Summon fish monsters, control them, and you can get on a production line.
The fish monster is weak and is of little use to the Qingmu Spirit Realm.
But the thing behind the fish monster is a good target for Lu Feng.
The supernatural world in the Western Regions is very different from the world of earthly immortals. They are very good at summoning rituals and playing with various monsters. Lu Feng also wants to learn from their strengths and learn some advanced experiences.
At Lu Feng's request, Grols selflessly donated some of his blood.
Because of Annie's experience, Lu Feng also learned some methods of blood wizards, so it was not difficult for him to study Grols' bloodline.
After two or three days, Lu Feng found the difference between the blood of the Grols family and that of ordinary people.
"Is the source of blood a curse? A powerful being cursed the ancestor of the Grols family, but it did not bring any harm to the Grols family. Instead, it gave the Grols family the ability to control the fish monster. This cannot be considered a curse. The Grols family must have become the dependents of that being because of the curse, and the fish monster is also the dependent of that being. The Grols family is even more advanced than the fish monster."
Lu Feng looked in the direction of the Grols family's seaside town, as if he saw a strong man living in the sea.
"After understanding the principle of this bloodline, everything becomes simple! I don't have the habit of turning my villagers into other people's followers. So, I will cultivate a few copies of this curse, and then refine them into secret treasures, and control them through restrictions."
After figuring out everything, Lu Feng started working and soon made a fishing rod.
The fishing rod is emerald green all over, with large forbidden spells painted on the rod, shining with spiritual light, and it looks extraordinary at first glance.
"The fishing rod is made of branches of energy-absorbing ancient tree seedlings. The material is thick. I planted the curse in Grols's bloodline in this spiritual tree. The curse is constantly growing through the nourishment of wood energy. At the same time, I use prohibitions and spells to restrain the curse so that it will not affect the fisherman. When using it, just put the bait made of incense and vows on the hook, find a pool of water, and you can keep fishing for fish monsters."
Lu Feng found a villager from the spiritual realm and gathered a pool of water in the small spiritual realm. Then he asked the villager to start fishing with the fishing rod he had made.
Under Lu Feng's instructions,
The villagers skillfully put up bait, dug hooks, and slipped bait in. It was obvious that they were experienced anglers.
"Hey, no need to trick people, just chant the spell and pray according to the ritual!"
"I'm sorry, sir. I'm used to fishing."
When the fishing villagers heard Lu Feng's scolding, they quickly corrected themselves and chanted the spell meticulously while fishing, completing the ritual of summoning the fish monster.
During the ceremony, the atmosphere in the small spiritual realm became eerie again.
Soon, the float in the water swayed, and the fishing villagers pulled the rod skillfully. A fish monster that had taken the bait was dragged ashore in a daze. Before it could resist, it was pinned to the ground by the Fire Dragon Taoist soldiers guarding the villagers and tied up skillfully.
"Fish monster, you are still a fish, so this is the right way to fish for you! I'll fleece you first, and then find a way to catch you after I know your details."
Looking at his fishing subordinates who cooperated well with each other, Lu Feng smiled with satisfaction.
What's the point of fishing for a small fish? If you want to fish, just fish for a big one.
In the Western Region, Lu Feng is not yet capable of contacting the upper echelons, so he will start with these small things. After he is familiar with them, he can plan the entire world.
The fishing production line has entered the process, and Lu Feng’s Qingmu Spirit Realm can harvest a lot of fish monsters every day.
Although the fish monster was weak, Lu Feng did not despise it.
All of them were thrown into the seawater tank in the spiritual realm and handed over to the giant octopus to command, in order to enrich the biodiversity of the spiritual realm.
After finishing these, Lu Feng didn't have to keep an eye on it all the time.
The wizard world still needs him to manage the alchemy factory, and the Red Leaf Society also needs him to keep an eye on the Dahe Temple. After being in contact with three worlds in a row, Lu Feng said that he is still a little busy.
On the other hand, time passed quickly as Grols practiced seriously.
In the blink of an eye,
Half a month passed, and it was time for Grols to enter the inner courtyard to study.
