“Eh, what’s that guy doing?” Mastasia’s eyes suddenly narrowed as she looked at the other raft behind them.

Because there were two rafts, the team was divided into two groups. Kieran, Rand, Mustacha, Elistine and Idrea were in a group, while Hill and the others were in another group.

Following the line of sight of the Highland Elves, Qin Lun looked up and saw Lago on another raft fishing with the silver thread he had used to deal with the Ghost-Faced Squid.

As long as the combat profession was a thief, there would be many trivial gadgets on their bodies. The same was true of Lago, whose silk thread was of great use, and could be used as a good fishing tool with a small hook tied to it.

“I guess I’m hungry. Fishing is a good idea!” Qin Lun rubbed his chin and thought for a moment.

Their own dry rations fell completely into the water when they met Ghost-Faced Squid, but before that, they had eaten almost all of them. In the next few days, everyone was relying on the small amount of recovery items that the three Apostle had taken out of their storage space to barely survive.

The canyon stream in front of him was two to three meters deep, but it was incomparably clear, and the entire bottom of the water seemed to be within reach. Although there were no large fish in the water, there was a small silver-scaled fish three to four inches long.

Perhaps because there weren’t too many disturbances from the outside world, Silverfish wasn’t afraid of the raft coming down the river at all, and they would often surround their heads and brains.

“These silver fish don’t look dangerous, do they?” Qin Lun turned around and asked, “Is there a piranha here too?”

Qin Lun did not speculate out of thin air. Earlier, when Elistine and Idrea went down the river to clean their wounds, the smell of blood had already spread out in the water. There was no sign of the silver fish surrounding them. If the piranhas smelled the smell of blood, how could it be like this?

“I don’t know either, but look!” Mastasia pointed at the surface of the water and frowned. “Isn’t this kind of silver fish very strange? Its head is big and short, and its head occupies almost half of its body. This is typical of carnivorous fish.”

When Qin Lun heard this, he saw that this kind of silver fish was exactly the same as what Highland Elves had said. Moreover, under the gaze of the halo, he discovered that this silver fish had sharp teeth. Although he didn’t know why they hadn’t attacked the two of them before, such a good bite of teeth definitely wasn’t just for vegetarianism.

In fact, the two of them didn’t know that the reason why Elistine and Idrea weren’t interested in this carnivorous silver fish when they were cleaning their wounds was because they could sense the residual aura of trolls amidst the smell of blood.

As long as it was a living creature, it would naturally have the instinct to adapt to the living environment outside. Although the fish looked ugly, it tasted delicious and was the favorite food of the trolls.

However, although the trolls were incomparably strong, their movements weren’t flexible enough, and they weren’t able to weave fishing nets like humans, so they usually didn’t catch many fish.

As a result, the trolls came up with a stupid idea. They dug the stones into huge stone basins, then cut their limbs and stood in the stream. They relied on the smell of blood to lure the silver fish to attack them.

Silverfish were stimulated by the smell of blood, so they naturally swarmed over. However, they had no choice but to grab the thick-skinned trolls. With a single salvage from the stone basin, they were a large group. Over time, these silver fish naturally remembered the aura of the trolls.

Whenever the trolls were unable to reap anything from a stretch of the river, they would change to another channel and continue to fish. The river where the two of them were in had been harvested by the trolls not long ago, so when they went down the river, they were not attacked by fish.

Even though Qin Lun and Mustacha didn’t know about this, they still called a halt to Lago’s reckless actions. Thieves’ hooks would definitely injure the fish school. Even the smell of blood from the same species could cause the silver fish school to attack crazily. If the fish school bit the raft, it would not be worth it.

Looking at the gloomy Lago, Qin Lun rolled his eyes and smiled, “I think I have a way to catch these silver fish without injuring them.”

After Qin Lun finished speaking, he took out a plant seed from his storage space and pinched it in his palm. As the magic power spread out, a dense aura of vegetation began to emit. The seed began to germinate and grow, quickly turning into a dark green vine.

This was a small trick that came from the Tree Realm. Although Qin Lun’s Spirit Naked Attribute hadn’t broken through a hundred, learning how to control the Tree Realm for such a long time had increased his control by quite a bit. Now was the perfect time to give it a try.

Qin Lun peeled off the bark of the vine and made it into a long, thin thorn. With a gentle swing, the thorns pierced into the water and swept towards the school of fish.

However, the embarrassing thing was that the thorns weren’t as light as the claw chains Qin Lun usually used, making his attack useless and didn’t even frighten the fish.

“Let me do it!” Idrea, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said.

“Alright!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up and he threw the thorns to the female knight.

“Watch carefully!” Idrea’s face was cold. She waved her hand and the thorns quietly dived into the water like a whip. It was as agile as a direct extension of her arm. With a roll of the whip, she tied up a confused silver fish and carried it out of the stream before it struggled.

“Take it!” Idrea tossed the thorns and the silver fish jumped towards Qin Lun, causing him to be in a hurry.

“I don’t think I’ve offended her!” Qin Lun smiled bitterly and turned to ask Elistine beside him.

“Ha, who said you didn’t offend her? You left without saying goodbye a few months ago. I’m not the only one who got in the way!” Elistine fiercely pinched Qin Lun. “Milleras and the others couldn’t stay with me because they had something to do. In the end, only Idrea was stalled by me. Now that I see you, can I not feel any resentment?”

That’s why! Qin Lun smiled bitterly and was speechless.

“Haha, you are indeed worthy of being a follower of Lauvita. You are naturally proficient in weapons like whips!” Mastasia sneered from the side. Ms. Lauvita was a goddess of abuse, and the ascetic cultivation of believers was generally equivalent to self-abuse, and the whip was the most commonly used tool for self-abuse.

“Make me one of those thorns!” The thief on the other raft was overjoyed. Apart from the dagger, he was also very skilled at using silk threads.

“Give me the fish!” Rand smiled as he took away the silver fish from Qin Lun’s hand. A strand of orange-yellow flame emerged from one of his fingers and he began to roast the fish.

Not long after, the palm-sized silver fish was roasted to a golden color by him. The rich fragrance pervaded the raft, causing everyone who had been hungry for a few days to move their index fingers.

“Let me give it a try first!” Mastasia smiled and snatched the roasted fish from Rand’s hand. She tasted it impatiently. “Well, the cooking is good. It doesn’t smell fishy at all. It’s just a little faint. Let me see if there’s anything else … hey, there it is!”

Highland Elves touched it for a while and took out a small paper bag. There was some brown powder in the oil paper bag. She picked a little with her fingers and applied it on the silver fish, enjoying it again.

“What is this?” Qin Lun asked curiously.

“I used banana roots and potato stems to make seasonings. Aren’t you going to bring any of these with you when you come out to take risks?” Mastasia hated him for scolding Silver-haired elf indisputably.

“Yes, yes!” Qin Lun didn’t know how many times he had bitterly smiled today. Why would a Apostle bring all this? However, he had no way of explaining it, so he had no choice but to obediently perfunctory.

“Damn, it’s burnt again!” Winnie threw a charcoal-like silver fish back into the water. Although she was proficient in fire magic, when it came to her ability to control fire, it was like fireworks.

The female mage rolled her eyes and added a gliding spell to herself. She switched to Qin Lun and the others’ raft and asked Rand for advice on fire control techniques.

Just as everyone was enjoying themselves, Rand and Qin Lun suddenly felt something in their hearts and looked up at the sky at the same time. The stone statue ghost that was connected to the two of them seemed to have discovered something!

Sure enough, as soon as the two of them raised their heads, they discovered that there was an additional figure in the sky that originally only had two stone statues and ghosts. Because they were worried that the Crow-crowned Eagle and the Stone Statue Ghost on the cliff of the canyon would fly very low, their silhouettes, who were at the same height as them, could vaguely see the appearance of a human woman.

“What’s that?” Following Qin Lun’s reminder, everyone became nervous.

The figures in the sky seemed to feel that they had been discovered by everyone, and they immediately stopped hiding their tracks and flew straight towards the raft.

“Miss Linda?” The first member to recognize the figure was the Blood Stabbing Mercenary. Qin Lun had seen it earlier than them, but although he felt very familiar with it, he could not remember the little girl from the Mercenary Guild.

It wasn’t that his memory wasn’t bad, but that he was at the Mercenary Guild at that time. He was only observing whether there were spies from the Church of Amberry around him, not paying attention to Linda at all.

“Hehe, hello everyone, we meet again!” Linda and Rick were very familiar with each other. She nodded at the three of them and looked at the others.

“Miss Linda, have you always been following us?” Rick’s expression was a little ugly. The Blood Stabbing Mercenary did have a good relationship with the little girl, but now it seemed that the registrar of the Mercenary Guild had a lot to hide from them.

“I recommended this mission to you. How can you not take care of it?” Linda pretended to be an old man and sighed, but she immediately revealed herself. She licked her lips and swallowed her saliva and asked, “I haven’t eaten for days to take care of you. Is there … any roasted fish left?”

“Haha!” Rand took a deep look at her and threw the freshly roasted fish over.

“Miss Linda, you owe us an explanation!” Rick and Largo looked at each other and said with a serious face.

Regardless of how much friendship the mercenary group had with Linda in the past, it was clear that the little girl could not afford to be vague at such a time. Even if the Blood Stabbing Trio believed that Linda had no ill intentions towards them, they had to at least give Qin Lun and the others an explanation.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry! What a good person!” Linda muttered softly. She carefully pinched the roasted fish and blew on it. She waved her hand carelessly and said, “I’ll explain it to you after I fill my stomach.”
