Chapter 12 There Is Fish to Eat
On the third day after traveling to another world, Jia Zhengjin packed mushroom corpses beside his stone house.
As a result, so many mushrooms appeared again at night, and they stepped on the wooden thorn traps around the house. This annoyed Jia Zhengjin, because these mushrooms are poisonous and useless except for making mushroom headdresses!
It's okay if you can eat it, but he doesn't think his stomach is immune to toxins.
A lot of wooden spike traps were damaged, and a lot of wood had to be wasted to repair them.
"Huh?" While cleaning up, he accidentally found a huge centipede about five or six meters long under the mushroom corpse.
The centipede's body was pierced by wooden thorns, and it was obviously dead and could not die anymore.
"Fortunately, there are wooden thorns, otherwise if this centipede enters the house, I will be in big trouble!" Jia Zhengjin was startled, and hurried over to check. As a result, [poison sac] and [strange silk] were found on the centipede's corpse.
[Poison Sac] There is a highly poisonous poison stored in it, which can be applied to arrows or weapons to paralyze the attacked target.
[Strange silk] Very tough silk, which can be made into good cloth with a weaving machine.
"Good stuff!" Jia Zhengjin's eyes lit up. This poison sac can poison weapons, paralyzing the opponent and making it easier to kill. And strange silk can be woven, and the clothes made of this kind of cloth must be of good quality. However, we need a textile machine, which we cannot build at present.
"Aww~~" In the room, the little kobold suddenly yelled, probably because he didn't have breakfast so he was hungry.
"Don't call me Xiaohui!" After rebuilding and setting up new wooden thorn traps around the house, and disposing of the corpses of mushrooms and centipedes, Jia Zhengjin picked up the stone spear and shouted, "I haven't eaten breakfast, and I'm going to the river now." Hunting here. Just wait for a while, there will be something to eat soon!"
The little kobold couldn't understand what he said, and was still barking vigorously in the house.
Jia Zhengjin came to the river with a stone spear and squatted down to observe carefully.
The river water is very clear, and you can clearly see the dense aquatic plants inside, as well as the weird fish swimming in the gaps between the aquatic plants and stones.
"Boom!" Jia Zhengjin tried to stab a fat and big fish with a stone spear, but as one could imagine, the fish escaped easily.
He tried a few more times unwillingly, but the result was still the same. The fish in the river swim so fast that they cannot be caught with stone spears at all.
"It's a pity that there is no skill book for unlocking fishing nets and fish cages, and there are no skill points to use. Otherwise, just build a fishing net or fish cage, and you can easily catch these big meals!" Jia Zhengjin sighed, and had to settle for the next best thing. , and began to look for slower-moving creatures in the river.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for him to see a big fish that looked rather clumsy and seemed to have a lamp hanging on its head.
The fish swam leisurely, showing no sign of anxiety at all. Even throwing a stone at it, it continued to move slowly without answering.
"Breakfast! My breakfast! Wahaha~~" Jia Zhengjin's eyes lit up, he couldn't wait to throw away the stone spear, went straight into the water, stretched out his hands, and grabbed the big fish.
He just felt that this big fish was so stupid that it was absolutely impossible to escape. The result was exactly as he had imagined, the big fish was easily caught by his hands, and then dragged out of the water.
There is a big meal to eat! Such a fat fish can eat two meals! Jia Zhengjin was very excited, there is such a stupid fish in this different world, so cute!
However, the next moment, extreme joy turned into sorrow, he forgot that alien creatures are always unpredictable!
After this stupid and stupid big fish left the water, the "bulb" on its head suddenly emitted a strong current. Jia Zhengjin, who was ecstatic while holding it, immediately became numb and twitched, and automatically let go of his hands.
"Plop!" The big fish returned to the water and continued to move slowly.
Jia Zhengjin's whole body was blackened by the electric shock, and he fell face up on the bank and twitched continuously.
After half an hour, he finally woke up. The big fish had already swam to nowhere, leaving only the static electricity all over its body to prove that it was not a dream.
"A fish that can discharge electricity!" Jia Zhengjin recovered with difficulty, and shouted angrily into the river, "Sooner or later, I will catch you as a generator!"
Why! Fast-swimming fish cannot be caught, and slow-swimming fish will discharge again. If it wasn't for luck, there were no dangerous creatures nearby, and Jia Zhengjin would have been eaten by wild beasts in half an hour of fainting!
This time he was finally much more cautious and did not dare to go into the river to catch fish with his bare hands. Who knows what special abilities these otherworldly fish have besides electric discharge?
But the rumbling stomach urged him to find food as soon as possible. After eating coconut for two days, I really want to change the taste!
Sitting by the river and thinking quietly, suddenly a brainstorm occurred.
He thought of the poison sac he found from the giant centipede just now. Since this thing can paralyze the enemy if it is applied on the weapon, will it be effective if it is poured into the water?
Think and do it!
Jia Zhengjin immediately took out the poison sac from the virtual backpack with his mind, then threw it on the ground, and carefully pierced it with a stone spear. He didn't dare to take it directly with his hands, it was poisonous after all.
The stone spear was stained with venom, and the spearhead immediately turned green. Jia Zhengjin carefully put the stone spear into the river and stirred it gently a few times.
Wow~~
The venom was indeed very effective, and immediately a few fish started to thump in the nearest place, and after a few seconds, they floated motionless with their stomachs up.
"Haha~! It's so simple!" Jia Zhengjin immediately picked up the stone spear, pierced through the floating big fish one by one, and carried them ashore.
The effect of the venom is super obvious, and the paralyzed big fish will not struggle, so let him catch it obediently.
It's quite a bargain to exchange five or six big fish for one poison sac. Other fish are not affected, it should be that the venom is diluted in the water, so only the fish near the first few seconds will suffer.
"Wow haha~~ I ate fish today, it's delicious~~" Jia Zhengjin happily took out a dagger to scrape off the scales of the fish he caught, buried the excavated viscera in the soil, and then washed the fish and brought them back to the house and put them on the bonfire bake.
There is no way, there is no pot now, only grilled fish is the cooking method. And there is no salt and seasoning. I wonder if the fish will taste bad?
But no matter what, there is meat to eat today!
Pots and seasonings will have to be made sooner or later, so I can only make do with it now.
"Aw~~" The little dog-headed man probably smelled the smell of fish, and got out of the gap, no longer yelling indiscriminately, but quietly watching the grilled fish on the campfire and drooling.
