Before dawn, the gate of Linhe County creaked open. The villagers who had been waiting outside lined up in a long queue and passed the checkpoint in an orderly manner. These people carrying bamboo baskets or sacks were all here to catch the morning market. At the same time, many city residents came out to work. Zhang Yuan mixed in the bustling crowd and left the city, and soon arrived at the dock area. Get on the boat and go down the river. As usual, he rowed upstream and arrived at the river bay area at the fastest speed. Because Zhang Yuan came very early, there were no shadows of other fishing boats in the huge river bay. He moored his black-sailed boat by the reed marsh, and then took out five eel cages from the cabin. Eel cages are tools used to catch river eels. They are woven with bamboo strips, with pointed ends and a drum-shaped middle like a weaving shuttle, and there are cleverly designed openings at both ends.
Once the river eels get in, they can't get out. These five eel cages were given to Zhang Yuan by Sun Bo! The old fisherman told Zhang Yuan that if he wanted to catch white loach, eel cages were definitely the best choice. He had only seen two white loach caught by others in his life. One of them was caught by eel cages! Then, Zhang Yuan took out pork liver, blood tofu and other meaty things from the bucket and stuffed them into the eel cage as bait. According to Sun Bo, white loach likes blood the most, so if you want to catch it, you have to invest some money. But whether you can succeed depends entirely on luck. Sun Bo has been fishing for nearly 40 years and has set eel cages countless times. He has caught a lot of river eels, but never caught white loach! In fact, with the old fisherman's piety to the Dragon God, he would release them even if he caught them. Zhang Yuan would also release them - put them in the God's Nest for parasitism! He sank the eel cages filled with bait into different areas of the reed marsh. These eel cages were all tied with long ropes, and the other end was tied with an empty gourd that could float on the water. After putting the eel cages, Zhang Yuan was not idle. He began to cast nets to catch fish in the river bend. The sky gradually brightened, and the morning light shone again on the water, sparkling and beautiful. As time went by, more and more fishing boats came to the river bend. Zhang Yuan felt that it was almost done.
So he put away the eel cages that had been put down before. Meat baits such as pig liver and blood tofu are time-limited. If they are soaked in water for a long time, the effect will naturally be greatly reduced. At least it is impossible to attract white dragon loach again. He was full of expectations when he took out the cages, but the reality was quite cruel. All five eel cages were fished up. In the end, in addition to some small fish and shrimps, there were only a lot of snails. This is actually normal. If white dragon loach is so easy to catch, then it is not worth the high price! Zhang Yuan was not discouraged. The next morning, he put down the eel cages again. This time, not only did the number of eel cages increase to nine, but Zhang Yuan also used new blood bait. Pig bladders filled with pig blood, sheep intestines soaked in sheep blood, and even a live chicken! Zhang Yuan spent a lot of effort for these special blood baits. He also spent some money. And this time, Zhang Yuan's harvest was better than yesterday. The white dragon loach was still nowhere to be seen. But in one of the eel cages, a white eel more than two feet long got into it! River eels are not only nutritious, but also very delicious. So the price is not bad. However, Zhang Yuan did not use this fat river eel for sacrifice, nor did he send it to the dock for sale. In the evening, he took it back to his home and asked his mother to stew a can of river eel soup. It was the first time to taste the delicious river food! After eating and drinking, when Zhang Yuan came to the yard to practice the rock pile, he suddenly felt a slight tingling numbness on the back of his left hand. He subconsciously looked down and saw the emblem of the God's Nest on the back of his hand, emitting a faint glow! [Host: Zhang Yuan] [Realm: First Order (Ming Jin)] [God's Nest: Level 2 (0%)] [Parent: Level 2 Black Giant Ant (18%)/4x Strength]
[Parent: Level 2 Jade Mantis (5%)/Intermediate Sword Skills Mastery] [Parent: Level 2 Golden Grasshopper (3%)/4x Agility] [Blood: 155/158] [Source: 0] After investing a lot of source, the main body of the God's Nest finally completed its first upgrade! The Level 2 God's Nest not only added a new nest room, but Zhang Yuan also clearly felt that the connection between himself and the host became more stable and sensitive. At the same time, he also had some more information about the God's Nest in his mind! Originally, Zhang Yuan's understanding of the God's Nest was limited to the game experience in his previous life. But the reality is undoubtedly quite different from the game. Therefore, Zhang Yuan used the God's Nest to improve his combat power on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was also studying this magical existence. Unexpectedly, the upgrade of the God's Nest would actually give him these invaluable information. Zhang Yuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh, feeling very happy. It's really not easy! But the upgrade of the God's Nest did not bring good luck to Zhang Yuan. In the next few days, he still couldn't catch the white dragon loach - it was useless to change various blood baits! If it was just like this, it wouldn't be a big deal. Zhang Yuan was ready for a long battle. But what he didn't expect was that the number of fishing boats appearing in the river bay area suddenly increased in the past few days. These fishing boats all belong to the disciples of the Wrathful Whale Gang. They openly cast nets and fish in the river bay, and some people put eel cages everywhere! Zhang Yuan realized that these guys were also here to catch white dragon loaches. The worst situation has occurred! Although Zhang Yuan did not know the real purpose of Chao Hongjie's high price to buy white dragon loaches. But it is obvious that the news has spread. That's why a bunch of people came in droves! Originally, white dragon loaches are very rare, and catching them depends entirely on luck. Now there are so many fishing boats casting nets and putting cages in the river bay. If this rare thing is really a descendant of the Dragon God, it would probably have escaped long ago, and there is no way it could be caught lying there. And even if the white dragon loach does not run away, as long as it burrows into the deep mud, who can catch it?
Zhang Yuan felt desperate when he thought about it. Is this very likely fourth host going to be missed like this? With a depressed mood, Zhang Yuan returned to the dock. When he handed today's catch to the fish market vendor for counting, he saw Chen Zhize rushing over: "Zhang Yuan!" Zhang Yuan hurriedly asked: "Brother Chen, what's the matter?" Chen Zhize took him aside and asked in a low voice: "Do you know about the white dragon loach?" Zhang Yuan was shocked and replied: "That day, Chao Hongjie brought Chao Bao to me. In addition to apologizing to me, he also said that he wanted to buy the white dragon loach at a high price to treat Chao Bao's mother's illness as a medicine." "Bullshit!" Chen Zhize spitted disdainfully and said: "I just got a message last night that the celestial being in Nanxun Mansion said that he wanted to buy the white dragon loach." "One white dragon loach for one Yunqi Pill!" The outer hall incense master's eyes were bright: "This is a spiritual pill that breaks through the Qi!"
