Chapter 127 124. Popsicle Puji
A Puji was floating quietly in the deep blue water. Its entire body was submerged in the water, with only a green mushroom cap remaining on the water surface.
The mushroom cap, which seemed to be drifting with the flow, was connected to the fungal carpet on the ceiling with a strong rope tangled together by three mycelium tentacles. And in Puji's body, there was a small sickle weapon hidden as a hook.
On the shore sat a group of reserve Pujis and big black mushrooms that came along to join in the fun. Without Lin Jun's command, the big black mushrooms would randomly refresh on the ground where the Pujis gathered.
When Xiao Hei first saw Puji soaking in the water, she also wanted to go down, but was stopped by other Pujis. Now she just leaned against the wall on the shore, staring at Puji in the water in a daze, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Suddenly, the water sank a bit and then bounced back to the surface.
Something is about to be hooked!
Lin Jun was in high spirits!
Logically speaking, Lin Jun didn't think that he would come up empty-handed. How could he not catch any fish when he could sense the bait situation in real time!
The guy under the water just pulled off half of Puji's foot. He probably intended to drag Puji under the water, but he didn't expect his foot to be broken by the rope. He will definitely come again.
Sure enough, the bait Puji felt a current approaching -
The huge catfish jumped out of the water, swallowed Puji and half of the rope in its big mouth, and then dived back into the water.
The rope was instantly taut under the pull, and Puji on the shore also stretched out his tentacles to pull the catfish back. However, before it hooked it, the rope fixed to the ceiling was pulled down along with the dirt and gravel, falling into the water and disappearing.
…
That's what fishing is like, anything can happen, that's what makes it fun.
Lin Jun was in a good mood and asked the Pujis to change positions. With the infusion of magic power, a new rope soon grew out. He tied a hook in front of the rope and then carefully strung the bait Puji on it.
Second round, start fishing!
The prawn's claws broke the rope...
The giant frost eel froze the water surface and leisurely ate the part below the ice...
The alligator snapping turtle bit the puff, hook, and rope into pieces in one bite...
The one who dealt Lin Jun the fatal blow was Xiao Hei, who had been watching the entire process.
As if he finally understood what the Pujis wanted, Xiao Hei quietly dived into the water, grabbed a catfish with his bare hands and pushed it to the Pujis on the shore.
…
…
…
Obviously, the reason why Lin Jun couldn’t catch any fish was not because of his skills, but simply because the seventh-layer fish were not ordinary fish.
Monster!
They are all vicious monsters!
Ordinary fishing methods are naturally not enough.
Dozens of hours later, a new batch of Puji came back in high spirits!
He first randomly threw some mushrooms into the water to make a nest. After waiting for a while, when Lin Jun felt it was about time, the six Pujis jumped into the water one by one.
[Infrasonic Attack LV6]
The invisible attack spread in the water, but not even a ripple could be detected on the water surface.
After a while, a pile of dead fish with their internal organs shattered floated up.
But Lin Jun was not very satisfied - there were no big fish.
The big fish with a lot of health will hide away in time after being attacked, and the ones that can be killed are just real small fish.
I picked up the floating fish and threw them onto the fungal mat. After accelerated decomposition, it was just as expected, with almost no harvest.
We still need big fish!
Fortunately, Lin Jun had more than one plan this time, and a fat guy came out.
Although the fat guy looks fat, he is actually not very dense and the middle of his stomach is still empty. If he goes into the water directly, he will float on the water like a water ball, so Lin Jun asked the fat guy to stuff a few stones into his stomach in advance.
As soon as he entered the water, Fatty sank to the bottom.
Lin Jun chose the edge of the waterway, where the bottom of the water was probably less than ten meters deep.
The fat guy was lying quietly underwater. Some small fish began to bite his body tentatively, but Lin Jun didn't care.
The confidence brought by blood volume!
Until a giant frost eel swam over and wrapped its snake-like body around its prey, the fat otaku Puji...
A dull sound came from underwater, causing ripples on the water surface.
Several cows and horses equipped with [Underwater Adaptation LV4] jumped into the water. At this time, there was no living fish in the water, and the ones that were still alive had long been scared away by the vibration.
After a while, the body of the frost giant eel, which had been blown into several pieces, was fished out by the Pujis. Also fished out was a giant shrimp. It crawled over and exploded before it could take a bite of the fat man, and its claws were blown off.
Lin Jun was kind-hearted and helped it fish out the claws and reunite with them.
[Seven Sins of Greed Trigger]
[Plundering Skill: Frost Path LV1]
[Plunder Skill: Frost Shield LV1]
[Plundering Skill: Jet Wake LV1]
[Plundering Skill: Saliva Arrow LV4→LV5]
[Plundering Skills: Water Flow Perception LV1→LV2]
[Plundering Skill: Pincer Attack LV1→LV2]
…
After the two counterfeit goods were disassembled, Lin Jun finally obtained the skills he wanted, although they were still very low-level.
After experimenting with a few makeshift Pujis, Lin Jun also figured out these skills.
[Frost Path] and [Frost Shield] are both underwater skills of the giant eel.
The former can freeze the surroundings briefly, and the latter can temporarily form an ice shield, but it seems to be of little practicality when equipped on Puji.
On the contrary, Big Prawn's skills seem much more suitable.
[Jet Wake] As the name suggests, it achieves acceleration by spraying out the water stored in the body underwater, which is very useful for Puji to dodge and escape underwater.
We still have to rely on the old employee, the fat guy, Puji.
It was confirmed to be useful, and the areas on the seventh floor where the fungal mat had been laid began to produce Fat House Puji.
With a little use of magic to speed up, it will probably take half a month to acquire all the skills required to go into the water.
The problem with the rifts really cannot be ignored, and now is not the time to save mana.
——
Palm-sized incense balls floated on the water, and the light red substance slowly spread in the water. Four gold-level adventurers were hiding not far from the shore and waiting quietly.
A tiny ripple appeared, and everyone became extremely alert.
Here we come!
A huge catfish jumped out of the water and swallowed the incense pill.
"Now!"
A dazzling light shone on the wizard's staff.
Fifth-level magic—freezing magic!
The waterway, which was more than ten meters wide, was frozen in an instant. The catfish hit the ice heavily, and even its tail was frozen. It struggled violently out of the instinct for survival.
"Don't give it the chance to destroy the ice!" said the captain as he led the way forward.
Under the command of the team leader, the experienced men quickly killed the catfish, which had almost no ability to resist.
After cutting off the catfish's whiskers, the captain cut open its belly. In addition to the whiskers that can be used as potion materials, the piece of meat in the belly is also a top-notch food ingredient and can be worth some money. Even if they don't sell it to themselves, it will be good to satisfy their cravings.
"Hmm? What is this?"
After a while of searching, the captain took out a small sickle from the catfish's stomach with a confused look on his face...
