Chapter 317 Fishing in the Rain

Lindsay spent a lot of time just opening the belly of the fish.

The storm rainbow trout weighs several tons and is so large that it is extremely difficult to handle ordinary prey.

It was also thanks to Lindsay's strength that he was able to slowly break it down.

Judging from the cutting edge, the meat of this king fish is firm and elastic. Regardless of the taste, at least the texture is very crispy.

"Um……"

"Should I cut a piece off and try it first?"

The idea of ​​eating sashimi popped into Lindsay's mind.

But he quickly gave up. After all, people have to eat cooked food.

What's more, no one has stipulated whether there will be more dangerous parasitic problems among monsters from other worlds.

So it’s better to break down the meat honestly and then cook it.

Lindsay cut open the belly of the fish, took out the internal organs one by one, and threw it into the rushing river behind with one hand. After removing the internal organs, he used his feet to prop up the body of the storm rainbow trout and turned the big fish over...

"Um?"

"What's this?"

Lindsay's eyes narrowed.

On the side of this storm rainbow trout, a hideous wound spread from the dorsal fin almost to the tail!

"This didn't come from wrestling with me."

Lindsay murmured softly, then reached out and touched it.

There were only shallow signs of healing on the wound, and it looked like it was an injury caused not long ago.

Considering the powerful physique of the five-stage monsters.

The time when this wound appeared can even be accurate to within three days.

"No wonder it can be pulled up just by wrestling, and the resistance is not very violent."

Lindsay frowned, but there was some understanding in her tone.

After all, this is a five-stage monster.

However, his process of dealing with the storm rainbow trout just now was a bit easy.

Now it seems.

The master of this river was first attacked in the forest, then swept into the city by floods on rainy days, and finally interfered with by hunting skills, and then fell into Lindsay's hands.

"So, what caused this injury?"

Lindsay examines a storm steelhead's wound.

There are faint traces of the influence of a layer of source matter, similar to the breath of the source matter of life.

Lindsay tried using skill identification.

The dead storm rainbow trout only showed its value as meat and failed to detect any more information.

"..."

Lindsay looked up at the sky. The dark rainy night continued.

This rainstorm.

It is estimated that it can be explained by normal seasonal changes.

But the strange movements in the forest, Muller Nahun's call, and the master of the river in front of him, combined -

"If nothing big happened in the forest, how could they all crash together?"

The news received in Cape Lookout City also came to mind - the ley lines of the forest were under attack.

Lindsay naturally came to a conclusion.

This kind of attack has not stopped. Instead, it has become a more severe and hidden situation, brewing crises in invisible corners of the forest.

"The rain is coming... No, it should have already come."

Lindsay finished processing the fish in the rain.

The kitchen was nearby, and he took a piece of fish and cooked it with his skills.

Snapped!

The sound effect of successful cooking of perfect food sounds.

This is how a food with attribute descriptions is produced.

[Delicacy: Spicy Rainbow Fish Pot]

[After consumption, physical fitness, agility, and strength will be permanently increased; the effect will be lost after taking effect three times. 】

[High-end cuisine made from rare ingredients can permanently strengthen the user's physique, and the price is relatively high! 】

"Permanently increase attributes!"

Lindsay immediately took a bite.

The flesh of the storm rainbow trout is firm and delicious, and each piece absorbs the rich flavor of the seasoning. When you take a bite, the hot aroma rushes straight to your nose, and the delicate and smooth taste is felt between your lips and teeth.

The ultimate pleasure for your taste buds.

Lindsay was even a little confused for a moment.

By the time he reacted, a portion of the fish pot in the pot had been completely eaten, leaving only a thin layer of soup base!

"This taste is even better than ordinary perfect food!"

Lindsay smacked her lips, missing the feeling just now.

He sighed while checking his data panel. Sure enough, the three physical attributes had increased a little each.

"belch--"

Lindsay burped.

He returned to the messy backyard with a sense of happiness.

The sky was still dark on a rainy night, which was in sharp contrast to the warm fire in the kitchen.

Lindsay turned and took a closer look at the plants in the yard.

The plants he cultivated fell down in large pieces, and their plant juices were mixed together, making it impossible to recycle them.

"well--"

"We can only cultivate it again."

Lindsay shook her head.

He returned to the river, this time abandoning wood planks as a building material.

The iron ingots in the luggage were taken out, and with the help of the workbench, a solid iron fishing platform was made!

Lindsay just caught the King Fish, which added another attribute.

This is when the excitement is high.

He struck while the iron was hot, took out his fishing rod, hung up the bait, and threw it into the river.

thump--

The hook hit the water and Lindsay started fishing on the steel fishing platform.

Something else quickly took the bait in the swift river water.

But there was no river lord like Stormtrout, but a box that appeared under the influence of skill.

"This thing is different from what we usually catch."

The size of the wooden box is the same, but the surface is engraved with patterns of waves and strong winds, as if telling that this is something that only appears in a storm.

Lindsay opened it and saw

There were 3 silver coins and 12 copper coins, as well as four azure crystals.

[Material: Water Crystal]

[An elemental crystal that will flow out clear water after being crushed; it can also be used as a material to make other props. ]

[A very small number of water elemental life forms will leave crystals when they die. Due to its rarity, its value has increased. ]

"..."

"In addition to the drops of elemental creatures, fishing can also be used to ship goods?"

Lindsay's expression was a little surprised.

He was already familiar with the synthesis of elemental series items.

He immediately took out three [Water Crystals], and he was too lazy to even check the formula. Sure enough, he synthesized a [Flowing Water Mark].

[Emblem/Material: Flowing Water Mark]

[After equipping, the effect is activated, allowing the wearer to gain the same free movement ability in water as on land, lasting for 30 minutes; it can also be used as a material to make other props. 】

【Emblem of the power of the water element, special item, moderate value. 】

【Flowing water pattern】is a pattern of blue flowing water.

After Lindsay equipped it, he looked at the surging water in the Shang River and even had the urge to jump in and try his ability.

"..."

"Forget it, I'd better go fishing first."

Reason overcame impulse.

Lindsay shook his head, continued to swing the rod, and started fishing.

The boxes he fished out later contributed a lot of [Water Crystals] to him, and he also got two new equipment by opening the boxes.

【Weapon: Water Spraying Fish】

【A magical fish-shaped weapon that appeared on a stormy night. It can convert the user's source into water bullets for shooting. The water flow will also affect the mobility of the person being hit to a certain extent. 】

【Strange fish-shaped firearms, moderate value. 】

"..."

Lindsay was holding a strange blue fish in his hand.

Its fins were long and thick, and could even be used as a handle, and its head and mouth were open roundly.

Lindsay fired a shot.

Puff——

Water bullets sprayed out of the fish's mouth.

The attack power of the water-spraying fish is not as good as that of a musket, but the power of the water-spraying fish is also as powerful as that of an ordinary bow and arrow. If it sticks to the wall, it will immediately become a sticky piece.

"I think I have to clean this wall myself later?"

Lindsay reacted, put away his weapon immediately, and checked the second item.

[Magical seeds/materials: Storm Water Lily]

[After planting, it will grow lotus leaves at a very fast speed, occupy the water area, and kill other aquatic plants. ]

[Dangerous invasive species, please use with caution, the value is moderate. ]

On the workbench, the seeds of [Storm Water Lily] can be used as materials to provide waterproofness for clothing and equipment.

Lindsay currently has only more than ten pieces in his hand, so he naturally did not synthesize them immediately.

Take these two items.

He also has some ideas for using them in his mind.

At this moment, after fighting with the storm rainbow trout and fishing all night.

The sky suddenly glowed, and the surrounding rainstorm gradually faded.

Lindsay stood up and looked into the distance.

The heavy rain that lasted for a day and two nights finally ended.

As the rain cleared up in the early morning, the rainbow hanging in the sky cast a curtain-like brilliance, which looked particularly gorgeous and dreamy.

"The rain has stopped..."

Lindsay murmured in a low voice.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the whole city seemed to wake up at this moment.

There seemed to be the sound of carriages running back and forth on the street.

Although the water in the river was still turbulent, it seemed that there were also ships sailing.

The heavy rain ended.

The people who were unable to move due to the weather before finally started their respective plans.
