LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 26 Baozhi
"This is Jinsha Bay!"
An hour later, Zhou Shan came to the Jinsha Bay waters that he had never been to before.
This area is called Jinsha Bay because most of the treasure fish in this area are golden, such as golden carp, golden crab, golden shrimp, golden blood eel, golden turtle, etc.
On weekdays, there are not many fishermen coming to Jinsha Bay. Most of them are good fishermen and a few brave fishermen who come to Jinsha Bay to fish, and basically they are only outside Jinsha Bay.
In contrast, if it is in the three waters of Luwei Marsh, Baiyan Beach and Huaiyangdian, hundreds of fishermen fish together. In a month, there are a few lucky ones who can catch treasure fish. In Jinsha Bay, there are a few lucky ones who can catch treasure fish every day, but the risk is also great.
Every month, fishermen's black-sailed boats are overturned by water monsters and buried in the river.
But today, all the fish stalls and fish shops in the fish market have issued a reward for tiger stripe fish, and the price of buying is 15 taels per catty. The money is attractive, and most of the fishermen who received the news want to come to Jinsha Bay to try their luck.
No one can predict luck.
What if I am lucky enough to catch a tiger stripe fish?
Tiger stripe fish is a kind of treasure fish with a relatively large body, which is basically about 5 catties. If you can catch one, it will be 75 taels of silver. The fishing gang and the fish market shops do not take commissions. After deducting taxes, you will get more than 50 taels.
Ordinary fishermen can only earn 2,000 to 3,000 wen a month, which is 2 or 3 taels of silver. Apart from food and drink, they can't save any money at all. More than 50 taels of silver, ordinary fishermen have to save for two years without eating or drinking.
As long as you catch a tiger stripe fish, you will have money to buy brocade clothes in winter, and you will have money to see a doctor if you are sick. It is already mid-August, and there is only one and a half months away from the cold month.
October is the cold month, November is the winter month, and December is the twelfth month.
These three months together are the coldest months of winter.
In the cold months, the temperature will drop significantly.
Once the cold months arrive, the heat in the water will decrease, and the fish will be less active, or even enter a dormant state. Even if the fishermen spread bait to make nests, few fish will eat it, and basically no fish can be caught. It is also easy to catch cold and get sick.
Therefore, most fishermen will not go out fishing in winter, and before winter comes, they must save enough money to survive the winter.
Hundreds of fishermen came to Jinsha Bay, and more fishermen who received the news came one after another.
Whether these fishermen can catch tiger fish depends purely on luck, and Zhou Shan has already released his mental power at this time.
The mental attribute has reached '178' points. The range that his mental power can cover is more than 500 meters in diameter, and the range of life fluctuations that can be sensed is 2,000 meters.
"No treasure fish!"
Zhou Shan frowned slightly.
No treasure fish has been found within the 500-meter range covered.
However, this is also within Zhou Shan's expectations. This is only the outer waters of Jinsha Bay.
There are more precious fish living in the waters of Jinsha Bay than in Luwei Marsh, Baiyan Beach and Huaiyangdian, but it is also relatively speaking, not so many that ordinary fishermen can catch precious fish by throwing out fishing nets.
Fishermen fish in the outer waters of Jinsha Bay every day, and the number of precious fish is even less.
Rowing with two oars, Zhou Shan continued to go deeper into Jinsha Bay.
Jinsha Bay is not far from the commercial port of Baisha County, so you can see huge merchant ships in Jinsha Bay. At the same time, Zhou Shan also saw the river patrol team Fangjiao responsible for maintaining the order of the river.
Each Fangjiao has a quasi-warrior who has reached the third level of Zhuangxue sitting in charge, who is the small leader of the fishing gang, and ten Fangjiao form a team. The captain is the big leader of the fishing gang, who is a warrior with profound cultivation in the Mopi realm.
Ordinary water monsters can be dealt with by Mopi realm warriors. If it is a weaker monster, the quasi-warrior of the third level of Zhuangxue and his team members can also kill it with tools such as iron nets, crossbows, and iron spears.
"Almost."
Zhou Shan left the outer area of Jinsha Bay and came to the deep water area.
Ordinary fishermen can dive about ten meters, and good fishermen with good swimming skills can dive to twenty meters, but the average depth of the river here is more than thirty meters.
Only quasi-warriors who have practiced water fighting skills can dive to such a deep bottom.
Zhou Shan released his mental power and went deep into the bottom of the water to explore.
He spread out around himself, looking for traces of treasure fish.
"Huh!"
After a while, Zhou Shan used his mental power to explore the bottom of the water more than thirty meters deep, and found a place with a small pit, and in that small pit there were more than a dozen blooming blood-colored lotuses.
These blood-colored lotuses are shining with a mysterious light, which makes people know that they are extraordinary at a glance.
"This is...the blood lotus of the treasure plant."
In Zhou Shan's mind, the information about the blood lotus in the "Treasure Plant Record" emerged.
In the Baisha River, there are countless treasure fish and treasure plants living.
Regarding these precious fish and precious plants, someone compiled the "Precious Fish Record" and "Precious Plant Record". Zhou Shan had the mental power to explore the riverbed and look for precious fish and precious plants, so he naturally had to know something about them.
Therefore, he had carefully read the Precious Fish Record and Precious Plant Record, and memorized the contents in his mind.
The dozen or so blood-colored lotus flowers blooming at the bottom of the water more than 30 meters deep were the blood lotus flowers recorded in the Precious Plant Record. They had the effects of replenishing qi and blood, nourishing organs and detoxifying, reducing swelling and relieving pain, and treating internal injuries. In terms of value, they were even higher than the red-backed knife fish.
"I don't have much red-backed saury in stock at home. With the blood lotus, I can replace the red-backed saury."
Zhou Shan secretly thought in his heart.
The practice of microdermabrasion uses Qi and blood to temper the skin and muscles, integrate Qi and blood into every inch of the muscles, and strengthen the muscles. This is a huge consumption of Qi and blood.
If Qi and blood are not cultivated to perfection and fill the whole body, Qi and blood deficiency will easily occur.
He practiced for two quarters of an hour in the morning. Although he took a medicinal bath, the medicinal bath was more about strengthening the skin muscles and making them tougher. To make up for the consumed energy and blood, he needed to eat a red back. Only swordfish will do.
Now the precious plant blood lotus has been discovered, which can just replace the red-back saury.
However, there is still a big snake entrenched near Baozhi.
This snake is as thick as an adult's arm, with red scales all over its body, and its scales are as red as flames.
"Spirit!"
Zhou Shan sensed the life fluctuation of this red-scaled snake. It was stronger than an ordinary third-level warrior with strong blood, but worse than him, a warrior who had just stepped into the skin-grinding realm. It was equivalent to reaching the third level of strong blood. Complete.
This red-scaled snake belongs to the category of spirits.
If we want to make a comparison, then the spirit monster corresponds to the quasi-warrior at the level of strong blood. The spirit monster further transforms into a 'demon'. Even if it is a little monster, its strength is comparable to that of a first-rate warrior in the skin-grinding realm.
