Wei Ling and Shou Gong stood at the bottom of the dark lake, thinking quietly for a long time, but still couldn't find any good way.
Finally, Wei Ling thought:
"Gecko, since those fish are going to run outside, will they also have phototaxis? How about you turn on the lamp beads and we stay still and see if they come over."
"Okay, sir."
In the dark bottom of the lake, spots of light suddenly appeared.
This light spot uses soft light to form a bright area of dozens of meters in radius in the water at the bottom of the lake.
As expected, some spiritual fish followed the light and slowly approached.
But once they got close to a few meters, they suddenly saw Welling and Gecko under the light, and they suddenly ran away, as fast as lightning.
Wei Ling and Shou Gong looked at each other and then smiled bitterly:
"Sir, with their speed and low resistance in the air outside, we can still catch these fish, but in the water, there is probably no way."
Wei Ling nodded slightly:
"Yes, let's go out first and talk to Xiao Duhuo, otherwise they will think we drowned if we go into the water for too long without any news!"
Shou Gong chuckled, held Wei Ling's hand, and walked outside.
Soon, Welling returned to the shore, but Gecko was waiting at the bottom of the lake.
She didn't want those people to see her in such a tight-fitting outfit without any covering.
After passing through the small woods, Wei Ling discovered that Xiao Duhuo and others did not come over to peep and investigate. They were still sitting in the small camp to discuss.
Seeing Wei Ling in gray casual clothes still dripping with water, they all stood up with expectant faces. Xiao Duhuo was naturally the most nervous:
"Brother Welling, how is the situation at the bottom of the lake?"
"The lake is not deep. As for whether there is metal at the bottom of the lake, I don't know, but I can give you the landform features of the lake bottom and find out the location of the lowest point. Well, let's do this. I will directly generate a hologram of the lake bottom for you.
In this way, you can judge, choose the digging point from the shore, the inclination angle and depth of the digging. This is more professional for you... The important thing is that there are no fish at the bottom of the lake! "
Immediately, Welling generated a hologram in his mind based on the data of this small lake.
At the same time, those spiritual fish do not actually live mainly in the lake area, but in the dark lake connected by the dark river, and the various environmental conditions of the dark lake are packaged and thrown to everyone.
After they digested the information, they all looked in disbelief.
But after thinking about it, everyone felt that this was normal.
If it were just such a small lake, it would be impossible for there to be so many spiritual fishes. The water area would be too small and the food would not be able to support the survival of so many spiritual fishes.
"Let's do this. I will arrange for Mangcao and the others to select a spot and dig for metal, and then I will come over to discuss with you how to fish."
Xiao Duhuo decided to take a two-pronged action. It takes time to dig a long tunnel. Arrange it first, otherwise it will only be a waste of time. With the simple minds and IQs of Mangcao Shencao and others, they are probably not able to plan such a difficult thing as fishing. Nothing good to propose.
Wei Ling nodded with a smile.
Zhenshi also nodded in approval:
"Xiao, our target is the spirit fish. The metal you dig out belongs to you. I can send people to help and will not participate in the sharing.
But you have to help us fish, please, the lives of so many brothers depend on those spiritual fish to redeem their lives. "
Soon, Xiao Duhuo chose a location closest to the lowest point based on Welling's holographic information on the bottom of the lake, and arranged for Mangcao Qiancao to excavate. Renshi also arranged for several people who have been digging holes for a long time to assist.
After the arrangements were completed, there was no need for them to interfere with Mangcao's excavation progress. The group sat around again to discuss fishing methods.
"According to me, you still have to use fishing nets. Brother Welling has good water properties. You can bring the fishing nets and the original bait into the dark lake on the mountain, rearrange the trap, and close the net after the fish enters the net."
The idea of soaking in horse urine is the most straightforward.
Renshi feels unreliable:
"The question is, the dark lake is under the mountain and it is dark. Will those spiritual fish enter the net? How can you find out that they enter the net?
Maybe as soon as you moved in the water, the fish ran away before you could close the net.
You know, when we use nets outside, we hide on the shore, far away, and use ropes to close the nets. "
Everyone nodded, feeling that Zhenshi was right. They all knew the caution, timidity and speed of the spirit fish.
The little green skin asked rashly:
"What about using guns underwater?"
"No, the resistance encountered by the bullet in the water is too great, the speed is very slow, it loses kinetic energy in a short distance, and the direction of movement will change."
Xiao Duhuo shook his head in denial.
"How about we use biological toxins, fill the bait with toxins, throw it into the dark lake, and wait until the fish are poisoned before Master Welling picks up the fish."
A gold digger had a bad idea.
“Stupid, where did you find so many toxins?
Do you think Granny Dan will accept your poisoned fish?
I guess you'll be uglier than a dead fish. "Ma Diaopao immediately yelled back.
The little green skin came up with another idea:
"If we have enough energy boxes and electrify a large area in the dark lake, will we stun the spirit fish and then collect them?"
"This method is relatively reliable if there is enough electric energy. However, the area is too large and the amount of electric energy required is not small. Water far away cannot quench the thirst of nearby people."
Welling also rejected the idea.
Renshi came up with an idea:
"If there is a very large fishing net, and the distance between the people dragging the fishing net is tens of meters, maybe a lot of spiritual fish can be caught."
"Theoretically it can be achieved, but there are two problems. The first is that there are no such big fishing nets at the moment, and the second is that such a large fishing net, plus the weight of the pendant, covers such a large area in the water, and the person dragging it must You need to have enough physical fitness, and also have the ability to move in the water for a long time, who can do it?"
Xiao Dushuo's doubts gave up this idea again.
Everyone sitting around started using their brains to think of ways to capture the spirit fish, but no matter how they imagined it, they could not think of a way that could be implemented immediately, and they were completely speechless for a while.
The horse urine bubble collapsed, and the goldfish cried out with tears in his eyes:
“Oh my god, with Granny Dan’s level of magic, she can’t even catch so many fish, but she lets us little monks do it...it’s so damn inhumane!
Fish, if you can understand what we are saying, then help us..."
Hearing the cry of the horse's urine bubble collapsing, everyone was silent.
Yes, if the fish was really that easy to catch, Granny Dan would have come and caught it herself, why would she drive so many gold diggers to their deaths?
Most likely, she knew that these fish were difficult to catch and liked to eat these spiritual fish, so she was so cruel that she let these pangolins and gold diggers figure out their own solutions.
Ma Diaopao's plea made Wei Ling's heart move.
That day in the square of Yaxi County, Xie Wuyi printed her intention directly into the consciousness of the Shadow Leopard.
I have also communicated with Yuanbao, Ghost Needle, and Ghost Thorn. It is certain that the mutated beasts have certain intelligence.
Isn’t this Joltan spirit fish a mutated fish?
Maybe this spiritual fish also has a certain consciousness and a spiritual body that relies on a little spiritual intelligence.
Since you have spiritual intelligence, maybe your mental magic will work, but I haven't tried it yet. Is there any limit to mental power or spiritual power under water?
There is another question. The brain capacity of this Joeltan spirit fish is too small. Even if it has spiritual intelligence, it is probably very low. Will the mental attack directly turn the spirit fish into an idiot?
However, compared to other animals, fish are indeed idiots. They eat fish anyway, so there should be no difference between idiot fish and normal fish.
Thinking about it this way, it is indeed worth a try.
Thinking of this, Wei Ling threw a message to everyone:
"You continue to think about it, I'll go down and check on the situation of the garrison."
Immediately, he walked through the woods and returned to the shore where his clothes and sword were placed.
This time he did not go into the water directly, but walked towards the center of the lake.
As soon as his footsteps touched the water, the corresponding area on the water surface turned into ice. As his footsteps moved forward, the ice surface also spread forward, until the center of the lake.
Welling put away the fishing net, and the ice beneath his feet disappeared. He dragged the fishing net straight again and fell to the bottom of the lake.
In the fishing net, there was also a large hollow ice ball that Welling had condensed in time. This was the replacement air he had reserved for himself.
The slightest movement on the water surface is controlled by the guard's sonar.
As soon as Wei Ling landed at the bottom of the lake, Gecko swam over gracefully like a mermaid:
"Sir, have you figured out a way?"
Wei Ling smiled and shook his head, leaving everyone's ideas to the guard.
The guard pondered for a moment, then burst out laughing:
"They are really all a bunch of idiots. What should I do, sir? Why did you drag down the fishing net?"
"We'll put the fish in later. If we catch enough spiritual fish and there's no place to put them in, it'll be funny."
The gecko’s eyes lit up:
"Master, is there anything you can do?"
Wei Ling smiled and nodded:
“I have an idea, but I’m not sure it will work.”
Then Wei Ling threw his ideas about the Shadow Leopard, Yuan Bao, Ghost Needle, Ghost Thorn and other intelligent mutant beasts to the guardian.
"Huh? The spirit of the spirit fish! This is a good idea, sir. It might actually work. Are you going to make those spirit fish sleep or sleepwalk?
Or plant thoughts that are close to us and let them fall into the trap?
Or just hit them with a mental storm, turn them into idiots, and we can just go and pick them up? "
The gecko suddenly became excited. Such a fun thing was worth looking forward to.
Wei Ling dragged the fishing net with one hand and held the gecko with the other, walking towards the underground river.
In the process of walking, Wei Ling released his spiritual consciousness to detect the movement around him.
He found that at the bottom of the lake, there was no obstacle to his spiritual power at all. The scanning range of his spiritual consciousness on land was still the same distance at the bottom of the lake. This was a bit surprising. Maybe this method would really work.
If you think about it carefully, this is also a normal thing. Even the energy body of the warlock who enters the escape technique can be detected by the spiritual consciousness and can be "seen" in the source world. This shows that the spiritual power is not affected by the manifest world and the source world. What is blocked by the spiritual world, even a little bit of lake water cannot block it.
Following the previous path, the two slowly advanced at the bottom of the dark lake. After Welling breathed twice, he entered the completely dark lake.
They walked deeper into the dark lake. In order not to disturb the dark water world, Welling gave up his vision and directly observed the surroundings with his spiritual consciousness.
Standing quietly holding hands again, the familiar darkness made the geckos feel very at ease.
She even felt puzzled. She was really surprised that she didn't have the slightest sense of fear in such a claustrophobic space and boundless darkness. Was she used to it?
Or is it because the young master is holding my hand and giving me infinite courage?
Shou Gong couldn't tell clearly what she was thinking, but she felt a rare sense of calm.
