Chapter 143: Capturing Icethorn Fish (3)

Although the spider silk looks like a small ball in the box, it is still very long after being drawn out, because the spider silk is very thin, light, and transparent, and it seems to be nothing.

In fact, that small ball of spider silk only has one strand. Because the spider silk is sticky, it is very difficult to pull it out.

Just like when Lido was testing in the magic mall, ordinary strength couldn't pull it apart or even produce any thread.

Soaking the spider silk in water can almost eliminate the stickiness, but Lido still wants to make use of this stickiness, so naturally she doesn't want to let the spider silk lose its stickiness at this stage.

Fortunately, after Lido melted the spiritual thread into the spider silk, the stickiness between the spider silks seemed to be temporarily suppressed, and became clearly separated.

So Lido successfully pulled the small ball of spider silk into a long line, and then cut it into small sections of the same length of about 300 meters, and then spirally twisted them in pairs to form a thicker line.

Then Liduo withdrew her mental power, and the spider silk instantly regained its stickiness. The two spider silks that were entangled into a line instantly stuck together tightly.

In order to strengthen the stickiness, Lido pinched both ends of each line and stretched them hard a few times to make the spider silk stick more tightly without any gaps.

The thread has been made. It can basically be considered a thicker spider silk with good strength, but it is still a little far from what Lido wants.

In fact, it did turn into a spider silk, because when Lido merged the mental silk into the spider silk again, only one mental silk was needed to control the spider silk.

Moreover, the spider silk did not lose its stickiness and become distinct because of the integration of the spiritual silk, as if the two spider silks had merged into one.

In other words, the decrease in the stickiness between the spider silks was not just due to Lido's mental power.

Liduo guessed that it was due to impurities. This ball of spider silk should have been taken directly from the silk sac of the six-eyed demon spider.

The spider silk itself in the silk sac should be able to be fused and change the thickness of the silk spit out according to the wishes of the six-eyed demon spider.

Once the spider silk is spit out and comes into contact with the air, its stickiness should decrease.

However, the medium of air should not have much effect on viscosity, because spider webs mainly rely on their viscosity to capture prey that hit the web.

Of course, if this spider silk is exposed to the air all the time, its stickiness will gradually disappear over time, and its strength will gradually deteriorate.

So the spider silk that Lido saw in the magic mall was packed in a sealed small box, in order to maintain the stickiness for a longer time.

At the same time, the protection of the sticky substance also ensures that the strength of the spider silk will not be lost too much.

Compared with air, water has a greater impact on the viscosity of spider silk. After coming into contact with water, the viscosity of spider silk almost disappears and cannot be restored.

And Lido's mental power is another kind of impurity to spider silk. No one in the magical continent should have done this before.

Therefore, when Lido's mental power merged into the spider silk, the stickiness was suppressed, and when the mental power was withdrawn, the stickiness was restored.

Lido spirally wrapped the spider silk and pulled it hard, which was equivalent to squeezing out the air between the spider silk threads, so the two spider silk threads successfully merged into one spider silk.

After Lido used her mental power to check all the spider silk threads and confirmed that they had all been successfully fused, she followed the same method to fuse two more spider silk threads into a thicker spider silk thread.

Then Lido weaved these spider silk threads together in the way of braiding, and used all her strength to pull the spider silk rope many times thicker than the original spider silk.

As expected, it was completely unbreakable and very elastic. Liduo used her spiritual thread to blend into them one by one, making sure they were completely integrated.

In the end, Lido obtained three spider silk ropes with a length of about 300 meters that met the required strength, and there was not a single drop of spider silk left.

But it’s not the end yet, there is still one last step, and the teller at the Magic Mall specifically reminded me of this.

That is, the finished product made of spider silk needs to be boiled in boiling water for an hour in order to fix the strength of the spider silk and prevent it from decreasing over time, while also eliminating the stickiness on its surface.

Of course, this will cause a loss of some of the silk's elasticity, but what's more important is the silk's strength, so the loss of elasticity is also lost.

If you want to add other properties to the finished product, you can also put it in the corresponding potion and boil it for a longer or shorter time.

For example, quenching poison is the most common treatment method, which is to put it into boiling poison liquid and cook it for a period of time. Of course, this requires that the poison to be quenched cannot be degraded by heating.

Of course, Lido is used as a fishing line for fishing or to tie things up in the future, so there is no need to poison it. Just put it in boiling water and cook it.

After the spider silk rope was cooked, Lido tested it and found that its strength was still the same as before, but its elasticity was only about half of what it was before, and its stickiness had completely disappeared, but it was still very soft.

Although it is a spider silk rope, it is actually very thin, with a diameter of less than one millimeter, similar to the nylon fishing line that Lido had seen in her previous life.

Originally a spider silk was almost transparent, but now the spider silk rope formed by multiple spider silks is translucent after being boiled, a little white, and is not conspicuous in the air, and is even less likely to be discovered in the water, which perfectly meets Lido's requirements.

The fishing line is ready. The length of 300 meters is the final decision made by Lido after careful consideration based on the length of the spider silk. It is enough to cope with most situations.

Anyway, it is impossible for Liduo to be like the fishermen in her previous life, who would let the fish out for hundreds of meters or even one or two kilometers, then walk it for dozens of minutes or even one or two hours and then slowly drag it back.

If the fish caught is too energetic, Lido will definitely use her mental power to give it strength so as not to spend too much time playing with the fish.

Lido tied a large hook to two of the three spider silk ropes and a medium-sized hook to one. As for the remaining one, Lido decided to use it flexibly according to actual needs after arriving at the scene.

Everything was ready. Lido went to bed early with anticipation of the harvest, waiting for the next day.

The next day, Liduo sneaked out of the academy in the same way as yesterday, and walked along the academy wall towards the foot of the mountain in the field training area. When she reached the foot of the mountain and walked a little further, she arrived at the Huashi River.

At this moment, Liduo was fully armed. She was wearing defensive equipment inside, holding a fine steel long knife in one hand, with spider silk rope and fish hook in the hidden pocket of the equipment, a waist bag around her waist, and the same white clothes as yesterday.

Lido put the large rattan baskets one inside the other (Lido had specially chosen the right size when buying them) and dragged them across the snow using the short rope made from the spider silk that she had used for the experiment in the beginning.

The basket contained the lunch and dinner that Lido had prepared for herself, as well as a kitchen knife, seasonings, flint, fire starter, dry firewood, a box of golden bells that Lido had packed from the cafeteria, and a set of spare clothes. It was quite well prepared.

After arriving at the Huashi River, Liduo found herself upstream of the college.

In order to avoid being discovered, Lido did not start her move here, but continued to walk upstream along the river for a full three kilometers before stopping.

The reason why Liduo stopped here was that it was far enough from the college, and she believed that no one in the college would have nothing better to do than come here to check.

Even if someone from the academy came here, they would not associate Li Duo with a student of the academy. Anyway, just looking at her height, Li Duo is also close to the height of an adult woman.

This is not the college, and I believe that people from the college will not come here to question us.

Second, Liduo had not encountered anyone along the way, nor had she found any human habitation nearby. This showed that this place was not visited by many people on weekdays, but it was exactly what Liduo needed.

Lido used her mental power to scan an area of ​​one thousand meters in radius, and sure enough, there was no trace of human beings, so she felt relieved.

The area within dozens of meters along the river is all gravel ground, covered with various shrubs and weeds in uneven patterns. At this time, what is visible are many leafless stems poking high and low on the snow.

Third, the river here is relatively narrow, and there is a sharp bend in front, so the water flow here is much faster than other places.

This is completely opposite to the fishing spots chosen by anglers in the previous life. The main reason is that Liduo considered that ice thorn fish usually live at the bottom of rapids and should be more accustomed to faster-flowing rivers. Even if they run to the ice surface on the upper layer of the river, they will prefer a relatively familiar environment, right?

So is Liduo's consideration justified? We will have to wait and see.

Anyway, Lido has put down the wicker basket and is preparing to catch the ice stickleback fish. It's time to have a good time!
