Chapter 145: Capturing Icethorn Fish (5)
Lido took out two spider silk ropes that had hooks wrapped around them in advance, and also wrapped a large hook around the third spider silk rope that had been used to bundle ice cubes, pull rattan baskets, etc. She threw them into the Talc River and used her mental power to control them to extend in the direction of the three ice spines fish.
To be honest, it was very difficult for the spider silk rope to move forward in the river. The reason was that the spider silk rope was too light, and the direction would be easily deviated if a little force was applied. In addition, it was upstream, and the flow rate of the river here was too fast, so the force of washing on the hook always brought the spider silk rope downstream.
Fortunately, the spider silk rope was very thin, and Lido used her mental power to control the resistance she encountered when moving forward in the water was still within Lido's tolerance range.
But you have to concentrate fully and not be distracted at all. If you lose control of the spider silk rope for the slightest distraction, the rope will immediately be washed far downstream by the river water.
If the resistance that Lido encountered when searching upstream with her spiritual thread for traces of the icethorn fish in the river was one, then the resistance that the spider silk rope encountered at this moment was at least five!
Therefore, in order to successfully get the fishhook into the mouth of the ice thorn fish, Lido consumed a lot of her mental energy.
Miscalculated! You shouldn't be fishing downstream to catch the fish upstream! Instead, you should be fishing upstream to catch the fish downstream.
Although it requires walking a few hundred meters upstream and digging an extra ice hole, it will also certainly yield a few hundred kilograms more common fish, so it's not a loss in the end.
The distance between the ice hole and the three ice thorn fish was only a hundred meters. After great efforts, Lido finally got all the fishing hooks into the mouth of each ice thorn fish.
Lido made a loop on the other end of the spider silk rope and held it tightly in her hand. Lido was wearing gloves as part of her defensive equipment, so she was not afraid of the spider silk rope cutting her palms.
After the fishhook entered the mouth of the ice thorn fish, Lido controlled the spider silk rope to pull the fishhook upwards, making sure that the fishhook deeply hooked the ice thorn fish and then immediately retreated to the river bank and reeled in the spider silk rope upwards.
Instantly, the ice thorn fish felt the severe pain in its mouth and immediately began to flee in all directions at a rapid speed. The spider silk rope in Lido's hand immediately became tight.
A huge force was transmitted from the spider silk rope to Lido's hand, and even though Lido was mentally prepared, she was pulled and staggered.
Fortunately, Lido steadied herself immediately, and the ice platform made earlier also played a significant role in preventing Lido from sliding.
The thickness of the ice under her feet did not seem to be collapsing. Of course, this was also thanks to the regular shape of the ice holes that Lido had made before. Lido simply did not retreat to the river bank, but instead engaged in an offensive and defensive battle around the ice platform and the ice thorn fish.
The main reason was that the three icethorn fish were not particularly large, and the largest one was only half the largest weight that Lido had known before, so the pulling force that Lido felt was not as exaggerated as she had imagined.
Liduo felt that her own strength was enough to handle it. She had just spent a lot of mental energy to get the hook into the mouth of the ice thorn fish, so she should not waste her mental energy to reduce the vitality of the ice thorn fish, so as not to increase her mental stress.
After making sure the fish was hooked, Lido withdrew her mental power from the spider silk rope. It would be helpful if she could reduce the mental burden a little.
Since there was no need to worry about the fishing line breaking midway due to lack of strength, no risk of cutting her hands, and no need to worry about the line not being able to continue fishing, Lido naturally pulled it out with all her might.
Soon, Lido pulled the three ice thorn fish to the ice hole. Many ice spikes flew out of the ice hole, and it seemed that the ice thorn fish launched an attack.
The ice platform Liduo built was a natural success. Most of the ice spikes were blocked by the ice platform. As for the few remaining ice spikes, Liduo just moved her feet slightly to avoid them.
After this wave of ice spikes passed, while the ice thorn fish were preparing for the next wave of attacks and their struggling strength was greatly reduced, Lido seized the time and pulled the three ice thorn fish out of the ice hole in one go and threw them onto the ice surface.
As soon as the ice thorn fish landed on the ice, they immediately began to spray ice spikes as a conditioned reflex. Unfortunately, Liduo was more than ten meters away from them, so this wave of ice spike attacks was useless.
Lido didn't want them to attack with a third wave of ice spikes, so she saved some energy in her magic core. Seeing the ice thorn fish flopping on the ice and spitting out ice spikes, Lido felt heartbroken!
So without saying a word, Lido went around behind the ice thorn fish and hit each ice thorn fish hard on the head with the back of her long knife.
The three ice thorn fish finally stopped moving and returned to heaven. Lido quickly picked them up, put a thick layer of ice and snow on the bottom of the wicker basket, then put the ice thorn fish in it and arranged them neatly, and covered them with another layer of ice and snow.
Lido moved the wicker basket onto the ice sled and then came to the ice hole again to catch the two ice spines downstream.
Maybe the food was too attractive to the fish, or maybe the fish were brave enough because of their skill, but in any case, the two fish did not leave after Lido made a noise again.
With the experience of the first time, the second time was much more proficient. In addition, the last time was upstream, this time was downstream, I didn't know how much easier it was!
Soon the fishhook was sent to the mouth of the ice thorn fish, but attacking the fish was more troublesome than before because this time the ice thorn fish had the bonus of the water flow.
However, only two icethorn fish were caught this time, and the pulling force that Lido felt in her hands was still not as strong as the last time.
Therefore, Lido easily pulled the two fish to the ice hole. She even pulled them onto the ice surface without waiting for the first wave of ice spikes from the ice thorn fish to end.
The back of the knife hit their heads again, and the two icethorn fish were killed before they could prepare a second wave of ice spike attack.
Having saved a wave of energy from ice spikes, Lido was very satisfied.
She put the two ice thornfish into the rattan basket that had just contained the ice thornfish, covered them with a layer of ice and snow, and after packing up, Lido prepared to leave.
The value of this Feng Shui treasure land has been taken away by Li Duo. Of course, before leaving, Li Duo used her mental power to roughly scan the riverbed of the entire river.
Unfortunately, apart from some fish, shrimps, crabs, clams and so on, Lido didn't find anything else valuable, and Lido was too lazy to spend time and energy to get them.
It's not worth it, and we can't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. The few fish on the sled are already pretty good, as they are harvests beyond the target, and it's not very time-consuming or laborious.
Five ice spines were successfully caught, but Lido did not intend to stop there, mainly because it was still early, not even noon.
Liduo felt that she could find another similar Feng Shui location and try again. It wouldn't be too late by then, and it wouldn't be too late to look for buyers after she had gained more.
Lido did what she thought. She put all her things on the ice sled and pulled it with a short spider silk rope.
The sled is suitable for transporting things in the snow, so it was not difficult for Lido to pull it.
As for the ice hole and ice platform on the ice surface, Lido just left them there.
Not to mention that few people come to this place, even if someone comes, the ice platform will block it and they will not fall into the ice hole without paying attention, unless of course they are seeking death.
The ice hole is left there either because no one has come for a long time and it freezes again, or because the ice and snow of the Huashi River starts to melt from here, or because someone discovers the ice hole and it is very useful for fishing.
I believe that it won’t be long before fish will gather near the ice hole again. When that time comes, as long as someone uses a net to catch them, I guarantee a good harvest!
Lido continued to pull the sled upstream along the bank of the Huashi River, using her mental power to explore the way as she walked.
During the exploration, Lido discovered many schools of fish, and even some giant fish that were two or three meters long. The largest one was estimated to weigh several hundred kilograms.
However, judging from the energy intensity that Liduo sensed, they were all ordinary fish, just bigger. Of course, such a big fish must be worth a lot of money, but Liduo still had no desire to stop and catch it.
The main reason is that the meat of ordinary animals on the magical continent is far inferior to that of magical beasts in terms of nutritional content and deliciousness, not to mention the energy level!
Therefore, the top-quality meat ingredients on the magical continent must be Warcraft, or at worst, a hybrid of Warcraft and ordinary animals. Only these two types of ingredients can be sold at sky-high prices.
As for the meat of ordinary animals, no matter how hard or rare it is, even if it tastes good, it is not much different from Warcraft meat. At most, it can be sold at a high price, and that depends on chance. It is impossible to get a sky-high price!
The money earned from selling the hundreds of pounds of fish on Lido's sled was at most a fraction of the price of the five icethorn fish weighing less than a hundred pounds!
So Lido remained unmoved and continued to look for ice sticklebacks, unless they came to her door automatically as a by-product of catching ice sticklebacks, as before.
