The boundless sea, waves ebbing and flowing.
In Lu Xuan’s hands, a fishing rod several feet long was extended from the wooden tower, the silvery fishing line dropped in the distance.
If one followed the fishing line down, they could see a first-grade sea fish aimlessly swimming around, with a fish hook lined with faint rune patterns inside its belly.
He had heard from Shi Zhong that traces of Dragon Carps occasionally appear in this area and live sea fish can be used to lure them.
Thus, he harbored an intent to try.
Suddenly, a giant force was felt from the fishing line. His spiritual sense detected that the sea fish, together with the hook, had been swallowed by a giant fish.
Lu Xuan forcefully pulled, causing the giant fish to barely emerge from the water surface when a water blade formed, cutting off the fishing line, and the fish hook held within the sea fish was smashed with its bite.
The giant fish regained its freedom. A flash of green light on its head, it vigorously flapped its tail, using the Water Escape Technique to make a hasty escape.
Lu Xuan got a glimpse of the entire look of the giant fish, the moment it rose to the water’s surface.
It was about ten feet long, slender in body shape with many dark blue scales on its surface. Two cyan fish whiskers trailed to the region of its tail. On its head there was even a horn about three inches long, which further added a touch of extraordinary nature to the giant fish.
As soon as the giant fish bit the fishing bait, Lu Xuan became aware of detailed information about it.
[Green Horned Dragon Carp, third-grade demonic beast, infant phase, its body contains a thin bloodline of the True Dragon, born with immense strength, will automatically comprehend low and mid-tier water system techniques during the growth process, capable of executing the Water Escape Technique within a certain range.]
“Green Horned Dragon Carp?”
Lu Xuan watched the direction in which the giant fish disappeared, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
He had seen a Dragon Carp at Song Family’s Song Si Ning, which was just a second-grade demonic beast, but the giant green fish he had almost caught just now was a third-grade Green Horned Dragon Carp.
I remember the Dragon Carp I saw had a very dilute True Dragon bloodline and the Green Dragon Carp just now had a thin True Dragon bloodline. Maybe this is the reason for their grade differences.”
“The third-grade Different Species Dragon Carp in its infant period is perfect for raising a White Light Group.”
With that thought in his mind, Lu Xuan took a live spiritual fish from the pool.
Then he controlled it, carefully dissected the fish’s belly, put the fish hook inside, added some bait which Dragon Carps love, then used the Moonlight Pearl to stop its bleeding and heal its wounds, restoring it to seventy or eighty percent of its normal state.
After that, he borrowed a new fishing rod from Shi Zhong.
The rod made from third-grade spirit wood, hooks forged from third-grade spirit minerals, and fishing lines made from third-grade Blood Jade Spider Silk. He instantly changed the pestle into a cannon.
“Friend Lu, did you really discover a Different Species Dragon Carp?” Shi Zhong, fearing that he might affect the Green Horned Dragon Carp’s appearance, didn’t even dare to breathe out loud as he sent a voice message to Lu Xuan.
Zhou Bing Yu also stood quietly aside, not saying a word.
Yes, it is quite different from the Dragon Carp I saw before.”
Lu Xuan threw a first-grade sea fish far out into the sea, replying.
Shi Zhong instantly got excited, his eyes fixated on the spot where the fishhook had fallen.
Different Species Dragon Carp! Even if he doesn’t have the ability to catch it, it would be quite satisfying to feast his eyes on it.
The sea fish had been swimming in the depth of the sea. As it was injured, its speed had been getting slower and slower.
About an hour later, suddenly, Lu Xuan sensed the sea fish was swallowed up. A vein on his arm bulged, his bones inside appearing like crystal clear jade as he violently flung backward.
The Green Horned Dragon Carp, about ten feet long, was lifted out of the water.
Because he had changed equipment, the Green Horned Dragon Carp didn’t break free from the fishhook and line right away.
Spiritual power surged within Lu Xuan, the runes on the fishhook subtly changed, and several strands of spiritual power spread out, trapping the Green Horned Dragon Carp.
The Green Horned Dragon Carp let out a muffled roar, shooting out dozens of sharp water blades, trying to cut the fishing line quickly.
Although it was a third-grade sea fish and differently gifted, after all, it was still in its infant stage and couldn’t easily break free of the binding like before.
A Black Rope flew out of Shi Zhong’s sleeve, in a blink, tied up the Green
Horned Dragon Carp and brought it back to the wooden tower.
“Indeed it is a Different Species Dragon Carp. Judging by its divine semblance, it should be a third-grade demonic beast.”
“Congratulations to Friend Lu for catching such a Different Species Dragon
Seeing the Green Horned Dragon Carp hopping on the ground, Shi Zhong’s eyes flashed with a hint of envy.
Catching a third-rank sea fish, even though it was just a young fish, was an experience he had never had before.
I owe the success of catching this spiritual fish to friend Shi’s fishing rod,” Lu Xuan said with a laugh.
Although Shi Zhong envied him, he had no thoughts about the Green Horned Dragon Carp.
After all, a third-rank sea fish wasn’t of great value to him.
Unless he caught it himself.
Lu Xuan extracted the fish hook from the Green Horned Dragon Carp, the silvery moonlight sprinkled on it, healed the Dragon Carp wound, and then stored it in the Life Bag.
The two continued to fish.
A spiritual fish was caught by Lu Xuan and landed on the wooden board.
But Lu Xuan showed no joy, his expression serious.
The moment the sea fish bit the bait, he noticed something wrong with its state.
In his mind, beside the basic information, living habits, capabilities of the sea fish, one point stood out.
[Invaded by the Evil Spite Qi, risk of mutation.]
Lu Xuan slowly approached the sea fish, noticing its abnormalities from a distance.
Though it was full of life, you could see a faint black mist seeping out from its body.
From his wide sleeve, a Four Product Sun Sword Talisman quietly slipped out.
A cool breath came from the immaculate jade on his neck, the closer to the sea fish, the stronger the breath.
It seems indeed to have some relationship with the Demon Envoy,” Lu Xuan thought, calling Shi Zhong and Zhou Bing Yu over.
“Friend Lu, is anything wrong? From your tone, it seems like something disturbing has happened,” Shi Zhong asked.
“There’s something off about this sea fish.”
Reminded by Lu Xuan, the two noticed the anomaly of the sea fish on the wooden board. The fierce female cultivator raised her eyebrows, a chilling Sword Qi shot out, cutting the sea fish in half.
What appeared before their eyes silenced all three of them.
Inside the belly of the sea fish, there were no normal organs, only a few clusters of grey-black filth, entwined with black mist, sluggishly squirming as if possessing a life of its own.
Shi Zhong slapped his storage bag and a White Jade Talisman flew out, suspended above the sea fish’s carcass. The holy and pure white light poured down layers, fell on the grey-black dirt.
The dirt sizzled, a foul smell pervaded the air.
After a few breaths, the dirt turned into charred organs, the black mist
entwined around it vanished without a trace.
“This sea fish has been invaded and polluted by the Demon Envoy,” he said.
“I just don’t know whether it is a natural disaster or man-made.”
The usually lazy-acting Shi Zhong spoke seriously.
The Boundless Sea is endless, and unknown Demon Envoys lurking in the deep sea, or the presence of Demon Envoy Qi is relatively normal,” he said.
“But the range of this first-grade sea fish is limited, it won’t stray too far from the islands.”
This means that somewhere in the surrounding waters of the island, there is a power that can invade and pollute sea fish and sea beasts.”
“If it is naturally formed, it’s not too bad. The harm and range are limited.”
But if it s man-made, it’s a bit dangerous.”
“Perhaps, on some island, there are evil cultivators practicing malicious cultivation techniques, discharging a large amount of waste into the Boundless Sea, leading to a large number of sea fish being invaded and polluted,” speculated Lu Xuan.
“If so, they really deserve to die.”
THE same thought flashed through all three of their minds at once.
