Chapter 9 The Powerful Six-barbel Catfish The Ze Ding glowed with spiritual light, and the blood that was scattered in the water condensed and did not disperse under the gathering of some magical power, and slowly engraved on the smooth back of the six-whiskered catfish. The "Chuan" water symbol emitted blood in the dark waters, and the six-whiskered catfish that was struggling desperately became stunned in an instant. The powerful mental force blasted into Liang Qu's brain, and he felt as if the back of his head was hit by a heavy hammer, causing him to feel dizzy. He felt a heat in his nose and noticed blood gushing out. This time, commanding the six-barbel catfish was even more dangerous than commanding the pig dragon! Although the two are almost the same in size, the resistance will of the semi-hibernating Pig Dragon is far less strong than that of the Six-barbed Catfish! After a stalemate of more than ten breaths, the mental will in his mind quickly weakened. The character "川" disappeared beneath the catfish's cortex, and a completely different mental connection appeared in Liang Qu's mind. Become! Liang Qu, who was feeling extremely tired, showed a look of surprise, but at the same time, a hint of fear flashed across his face.
The resistance of the six-barbel catfish was so strong that it was really a fluke that the pig dragon was able to succeed last time. Fortunately, it’s done. Once the spiritual connection is established, life and death are under control and there is no possibility of betrayal. Luck is also part of strength. Ze Ding radiates brilliance. [Six-barbel catfish has been controlled and can evolve] [You can consume 80 points of water essence to evolve the six-whisker catfish into a tiger-headed catfish. ] The same evolutionary prompt, but unfortunately Liang Qu still doesn’t have that much water essence, so we can only wait and see. After a struggle, he was completely exhausted and quickly summoned the two beasts, grabbing one in each hand and letting them carry him to the surface to breathe. Wow. "call!" Liang Qu wiped the water stains off his face, took a deep breath, and his painful and dizzy brain quickly regained consciousness, just like drinking a sip of ice soda on a midsummer day. It was still early in the morning, and Liang Qu, who had recovered from his fatigue, looked at the two beasts' huge and terrifying bodies in the daylight. A sense of pride and security arose spontaneously. With the help of the two beasts, even if a tall and strong man like Bald-headed Zhang was not injured, he would be easily taken advantage of if he fell into the water. only. Liang Qu looked at the torn wound on the tail of the six-whiskered catfish and couldn't help feeling distressed. They were his own cubs now! Previously, it was unable to move when fighting with the six-barbel catfish. Because it couldn't move, it had thick skin and flesh, so nothing happened. However, the six-barbel catfish was bitten and got a big scar. This is also the advantage of being unable to move. The flexibility and endurance of the pig dragon are much worse than those of ordinary fish, but it can't withstand high attacks and thick blood! "Since you're so fat, I'll call you Fat Catfish, Fatty!" Liang Qu gave the six-whiskered catfish a name. After receiving the joyful emotion conveyed by it, he took the two animals back to the lotus root waters and broke off a piece of lotus root to feed the six-whiskered catfish. This piece of lotus root does not contain water essence, but it still has the same healing effect, just much weaker. After the fat catfish ate it, the wound on its tail healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, but the speed was much slower. Ah Fei rolled in the water and began to circle around Liangqu. Guessing that the effect would be enough, Liang Qu returned to the boat and fed the few fish that could not move, letting them continue to watch the house. Then he let the fat catfish help him catch fish around the lotus root area after it recovered from its injury.
The six-barbel catfish has a strong hunting ability. It can catch many small fish with its big mouth and suck them up without leaving obvious wounds that would make people doubt the origin of the fish. This is why Liang Qu wants to control the six-barbel catfish. "When you catch a fish, spit it out in here. Be careful not to let anyone see it." Liang Qu lifted the board at the stern and pointed to the empty space inside. Although Laitou Zhang's sampan is simple, it is fully equipped with all the necessary facilities. It is more than three meters long and has the same structure as a normal fishing boat. There are two waterproof compartments at the bow and stern that can be used to store fish. The fat catfish bobbed on the water's surface, shaking its head. The mental link is not completely without benefits for the water beasts. At least from Liang Qu's observations, the water beasts after the link is established are obviously smarter and have a certain ability to think. They are no longer just mere wild beasts. After getting Ah Fei's confirmation, Liang Qu did not close the stern cover, but lay down directly, covered himself with a straw raincoat, and fell into a deep sleep. The energy consumption of establishing a spiritual connection was too great, and he urgently needed to rest and see what he would gain after waking up. The sky gradually darkened, the river breeze blew, and the water surface was covered with shimmering red light. Liang Qu opened his eyes in a daze, looked at the scorching sun in the west, and found that he had slept until dusk. It was not even that he woke up naturally, but was woken up by a fish jumping up and hitting him in the face. Liang Qu was a little dazed as he touched the slippery mucus on his face. He sat up and stared in amazement at the several big fish jumping in the boat. The waterproof compartment at the stern was actually filled with fish! From time to time, fish would jump out from the narrow gap, either escaping into the water or jumping into the hull. The fish that woke Liang Qu up came to his head in this way. Liang Qu was hit by a huge surprise. Even if so many fish were ordinary fish, they would probably cost at least a hundred coins! Are these all Ah Fei’s harvest from half a day’s work? Just at this moment Ah Fei surfaced, opened his mouth wide, and spit out three big fish along with water and foam. Liang Qu asked: "Did you catch them all?" Ah Fei shook his body and raised his head. "We are cooperating with Budendong. And these are not all the harvests. A few fish jumped out?" Liang Qu felt the information in the spiritual connection and suddenly realized. It cannot move, has poor flexibility and is slow, but it can play a role in blocking the road. It works well with the fat catfish. Nearly fifty big fish have been caught near the lotus root waters alone, including a spotted fish worth thirty cents! The entire boat's catch is worth one hundred and thirty coins! Although being unable to move and follow the fishing may seem like abandoning one's duty, it is nothing compared to the huge amount of fish caught. "Okay, you guys did a great job!" Liang Qu praised them several times in a row, then quickly picked up the fish in the boat, stuffed them into the compartment and covered it with the partition, and went into the water to break off two lotus roots as rewards for the two beasts. There were hundreds of lotus roots without the essence of water, and he didn't feel sorry at all. He also checked the fat catfish's injury, which was basically healed, leaving only a scar. The two animals that received the reward rolled around in circles in the water, raising a lot of white foam. After a while, they dived away and built a nest together near the lotus root to guard the precious plant together. Liang Qu rowed towards the pier with the oar in hand. It was already dark by then. Lanterns were hung on the pier. Many fishermen were returning to their boats in twos and threes, preparing to go back to eat and go out again in the early morning. There were too many fish, at least hundreds of kilograms, and they could not be moved all at once. Liang Qu called on the fisherman to bring the fish basket over to help.
The waiter Lin Songbao said with a smile: "Ah Shui is here to sell fish again today?" Lin Songbao, the second son of Lin Di, the owner of the fishing pier, works part-time as a waiter. "How could I dare to use your fish basket? You would have skinned me alive." "What Ah Shui said. Everyone knows that our stuff is of the highest quality." Lin Songbao tried to be business-like, but Liang Qu didn't buy it and told him to get the fish quickly. "It looks like we've caught a lot today. We need three fish baskets." Lin Songbao came to the boat with the fish basket in his hand. He opened the cover and looked at the crowded school of fish with some surprise. "Did you catch all these?" "uh-huh." Lin Songbao took a quick look and estimated that the fish in front of him were worth more than a hundred coins. Only a few good fishermen at the pier could catch this amount consistently, not to mention that Liang Qu was not yet an adult. Even if he was just lucky enough to come across a school of fish, it was still quite remarkable. "It looks like we're going to have another good fisherman at the pier." Lin Songbao put away his joking intention and uttered a compliment. Liang Qu's father Liang Dajiang passed away a while ago, and his sampan was sold soon after. Everyone thought that the orphan could only wait to die quietly, but he didn't expect that he survived by relying on a sampan, and today he had a great harvest. There were many orphans in Yixing City, most of whom were either selling themselves or begging. Liang Qu was the first one who had managed to make a living. When Lin Songbao appeared at the pier carrying three full fish baskets, many fishermen stopped. (End of this chapter)
