Chapter 293 – Sea Beast Attack
Chapter 293 – Sea Beast Attack
“Elder Lu, I’m keeping a Dragon Carp in this pond, but somehow, lately, I’ve been feeling that its growth state isn’t very good.”
“Can I trouble senior to take a look for me?”
Song Sining’s black and white pupils looked at Lu Xuan and gathered the courage to ask softly.
“Yes, you summon it out.”
Lu Xuan said mildly, he had crammed so much general knowledge of spirit beasts in the Heavenly Sword Sect’s hidden scripture cabinet and had rich experience in raising them, he was confident in his heart about a spirit beast raised by a little girl at the third level of Qi Practicing.
Besides, if he really couldn’t solve it, he could still feed it something and inspect the detailed state of the spirit beast.
The water surface of the pool continued to gush out with bubbles, and soon, a large fish burrowed out of the water.
The big fish was more than half a zhang long, with a slender body shape that was a bit similar to that of an auger dragon, with fine light red scales on its body, and two red whiskers constantly swaying and shaking in the water.
Lu Xuan spiritual sense swept through, perceived that the big fish spiritual power fluctuation is probably at the level of first-grade demonic beasts, just a glance, not much vitality, breathless stop on the water surface.
“Elder Lu, this is the Dragon Carp I raised, a Second Grade Demonic Beast, it’s just that this one of mine is still in its growth phase, its strength is equivalent to a First Grade Demonic Beast.”
Lu Xuan nodded gently, his Spiritual Sense carefully searching every part of the Dragon Carp’s body, trying to find out where the root of the problem lay.
“What does this Dragon Carp normally eat?”
After taking a closer look and not finding any abnormalities, Lu Xuan asked the little girl.
“On weekdays, I would raise some demonic insects, small fishes and shrimps, in addition, the Dragon Carp can also eat the Silver Silk Algae in the pool.” Song Sining answered truthfully.
“Go fetch some demonic insects that the dragon carp usually eats, I’ll see if it could be a food problem, and feed it some in the meantime to deepen the bond for a better inspection.”
Song Sining hurriedly ran to the house and took out a few bugs of different shapes.
Lu Xuan pinched up a grayish-white ringed worm and threw it in front of that dragon carp.
The dragon carp instantly became spirited and swam quickly to the gray and white bug, swallowing it in one gulp.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan’s mind coalesced around the dragon carp in the pool and quickly learned detailed information about it.
[Dragon Carp, Second Grade Demonic Beast, with an extremely thin true dragon bloodline remaining in its body, which has been diluted through countless generations and is already close to non-existent].
[Feeds on demonic insects, fish, shrimp, and seaweed, born with enormous strength, and can comprehend simple water arts on its own after maturity].
Due to its limited range of activities and the worrying water quality of its growing environment, it is in a rather depressed state.
“I see, it’s still simple and effective to feed something.”
Lu Xuan thought secretly in his heart.
This Dragon Carp unexpectedly had a trace of extremely thin True Dragon bloodline, however, it just sounded bluffing, even when compared to the Jiao Dragons Pythons and the like in the Thousand Dragons Lake, it was still a lot worse.
“Probably the problem is found.”
“The Dragon Carp is a second grade demonic beast that grows in wide seas and can swim freely and without restraint.”
“Whereas this Dragon Carp of yours grows in such a shallow pool, when it was first bred it was not able to feel the difference, but when it gradually grows, this pool will be a confinement for it.”
“In addition, the water quality in the sea is after all different from that on the island, making this Dragon Carp a little unaccustomed to it, so it slowly lost its vigor and became what it is now.”
Lu Xuan smiled and said towards Song Sining.
“If the conditions allow it, you can take this Dragon Carp out for a walk in the offshore, so as to release its nature for a while, in addition, you need to change the water in the pool on a regular basis, so as to better simulate the growth environment that the Dragon Carp needs.”
“So that’s where the problem lies.”
Song Sining opened her mouth slightly as realization dawned on her.
“Elder Lu deserves to be from a famous clan, he saw the problem with my spirit beast with a single glance.” She looked at Lu Xuan with eyes full of admiration.
Lu Xuan asked her for some general knowledge about water genus spirit plants and spirit beasts, and then left with Song Yun.
On the way, he suddenly noticed a white jade talisman at his waist trembling continuously.
Lu Xuan’s heart tightened, the talisman was a summoning talisman left behind by Song Yu, used for emergency contact, ringing that meant that there was an abnormal situation on Empty Underworld Island that the Song Family could not successfully resolve.
He quickly removed the talisman, a strand of spiritual energy seeped into it, and Song Yu’s voice, which appeared somewhat anxious, came from the talisman.
“Senior Uncle Lu, I’m afraid that this area of the sea where the Empty Underworld Spirit Fish is kept will be invaded by a large number of sea beasts, please come over to calm the scene.”
“Good, I know.”
“Senior Lu bring me along to go over.”
Song Yun sniffed, an expression of eagerness appeared on his face, he had been practicing sword arts under Lu Xuan for a long time, it was rare that he stumbled upon an opportunity where he could check the results, so he naturally refused to miss it.
Lu Xuan nodded, and the Purple Electricity Sword surged with an abundance of spiritual energy, wrapping Song Yun and speeding to the sea where Song Yu was.
In the vast sea, Song Yu and hundreds of Song Family Qi Practicing Cultivators spread out, staring intently at the distant sea.
“What’s going on?”
Lu Xuan stopped in front of Song Yu and put Song Yun down, asking with a calm demeanor.
Seeing him like this, the originally agitated Song Yu’s mind eased a lot, as if he had found his backbone.
“It’s like this Uncle Lu, the Song Family’s cultivators patrolling the sea have detected an obvious movement in the nearby waters, and it’s likely that a large number of sea beasts will invade the area where the Empty Underworld Spirit Fish are kept.”
“A large number of sea beasts invading? Are there many such cases?”
“Not much.”
“The Empyrean Spirit Fish is greatly beneficial to the many sea beasts and sea fishes, it is a natural and superior tonic, therefore, from time to time, there are sea beasts that want to sneak in and hunt for the Spirit Fish.”
“There are usually two ways to do this, to conceal themselves from the eyes of the Song Family and sneak in from the bottom of the sea to poach the Empty Underworld Spirit Fish, and the other is to forcibly storm the defenses set up by the Song Family to take advantage of the chaos and hunt for the Spirit Fish.”
“The second situation is relatively rare, but once it happens, if the protection is not thorough enough, it could potentially lead to a large number of Empyrean Spirit Fish being hunted and killed, resulting in huge losses.”
“Therefore, Master Lu, I will trouble you to come and calm the scene later, if there is an emergency, please suppress it with thunderous means.”
Song Yu said with a grave expression.
“Don’t worry, with me here, there won’t be any accidents.”
Lu Xuan said confidently.
He looked around and realized that he was in a sunken sea area, with one side backed by an island, and with a large number of reefs and stone walls blocking both sides, which could provide some protection.
Most notably, the part that was in frontal contact with the Boundless Sea.
He had understood some relevant information after entering the Empty Underworld Island, due to the strange topography and special water quality here, it was suitable for Empty Underworld Spirit Fish to grow and reproduce, so the Song Family had circled this sea area to specialize in raising Empty Underworld Spirit Fish.
In terms of protection, since the front contact area with the Boundless Sea is nearly ten miles, plus the depth of water in the surrounding area is a hundred feet, unless it is a fifth-grade high-grade formation, the rest of the ordinary formations can’t play a significant effect.
The Song family can only lay down some simple protective devices and send cultivators to patrol day and night, which is a better way to guard this sea area.
“Coming.”
He said softly as his spiritual sense sensed the movement in the depths of the sea.
