"What's going on?" Liang Du immediately floated over.

Yin Zhitao pointed to the surface of the underground river and asked doubtfully, "Look, what is that? It seems to be swimming in it."

The giant capybara, which was squatting and wallowing in boredom, came to join in the fun. Suddenly it saw something in the river, and it screamed "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally angry".

"What happened to it?" Yin Zhitao looked at the giant capybara in confusion, wondering why it had such a big reaction.

Liang Du frowned and said, "This is a purple electric catfish. It can discharge electricity. It must have been electrocuted by this kind of fish before, so it was very angry when it saw them."

"What? Will they discharge electricity?" Yin Zhitao asked worriedly, "If they can discharge electricity, how should we cross the river?"

Liang Du thought for a while and said, "Actually, as long as you don't offend them, these fish will not take the initiative to attack, but there is always a chance. The only way to ensure that these fish do not discharge electricity may be to find the fish king. The King of Fishes has the ability to control fish schools.”

Yin Zhitao's worries continued, "But what if we find the fish king? How can we let the fish king control the fish school and not discharge electricity?"

She held her cheek with her hands and said sadly, "Hey! Why is it so difficult to get out of this tomb? I'll go find my elder brother and find a solution."

"Tsk!" Liang Du curled his lips, "Are you sure he is thinking about this now?"

"Ah?" Yin Zhitao scratched his head and felt a little confused after hearing Liang Du's words.

"Nothing. Just ask."

After saying that, Liang Du floated to the top of the underground river and carefully observed the purple electric catfish in the river.

He remembered that he had read books related to the construction of tombs in the tomb library, and one of them mentioned the purple electric catfish.

The Purple Lightning Catfish was specially put into the tombs by the tomb builders in order to form a natural barrier for tomb robbers. However, this fish has a fixed rest and active time. When they are active, the king fish will fall into dormancy; while they rest When the time comes, the Fish King will wake up again and always pay attention to the movements of the outside world.

This is a highly evolved fish species with high intelligence and self-preservation capabilities.

When the fish school is active, it is difficult to find the king of fish. Each fish has a different personality, some are happy and some are quiet. Some of them will swim around all the time, and some will just stay still.

When they are all resting, you can spot the king of fish at a glance, the one patrolling back and forth among the fish.

By this time, Shi Erruo's body had recovered more than half, his headache symptoms had eased a lot, and he felt lighter.

"Where have we been?"

She pushed herself up and opened her heavy eyelids. In the dim light of the night pearl, she could only see the messy items randomly placed in every corner of the tomb.

Qiu Zhuo hurriedly lifted her back with his arms and let her lean on him, "You can reach the main tomb chamber by crossing the underground river."

Yin Zhitao ran over and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Shi Erruo's condition had improved, "Sister, it's great that you are okay. There is a new problem in the underground river. A fish that can discharge electricity has appeared in it. It’s not easy for us now.”

"Electrified fish?" Shi Erruo frowned and repeated. She was very familiar with the Ten Thousand Demons Canyon and was naturally familiar with the creatures here.

If she guessed correctly, there is only one kind of fish in the canyon that can discharge electricity, and that is the purple electric catfish. In order to strengthen the thunder formation, she wanted to capture the fish king as the formation eye and let the formation flow, but was blocked by that The cunning fish king escaped.

I didn't expect to see purple electric catfish in this tomb group.

"I'm going to see that fish." Shi Erruo got off the white jade bed and wanted to find out.

"Wait." Qiu Zhuo held down her hand, "otherwise we should lie down for a while and wait until she is fully recovered before taking a look."

Shi Erruo touched his forehead, "I feel like I'm almost feeling better." In order to convince Qiu Zhuo, Shi Erruo even grabbed his hand directly, put his palm against his forehead, and firmly He said, "Look, it's not hot anymore!"

Qiu Zhuo immediately withdrew his hand and said in a panic, "It's not that hot compared to just now."

"Isn't that enough? I'm just going to take a look. I'm not doing anything dangerous."

Shi Erruo got off the white jade bed and walked to the underground river at the edge of the tomb. He squatted down and looked at the river carefully. From time to time, he could see a catfish leaking out of its black back and sinking again.

At this moment, she suddenly saw what seemed to be a larger catfish in the river. It stayed in one place without moving half an inch, but there seemed to be a faint golden light in its body, running through its back.

Um?what is this?
When I saw the Zidian catfish before, it seemed like I had never seen this species before?

Could it be that he mutated after staying in a dark place like a tomb for a long time?

Shi Erruo waved to the giant capybara and asked it to come closer with the night pearl in its mouth, so that he could see the glowing catfish more clearly.

Liang Du saw this scene and seemed to have discovered something. He floated on the river and said to Shi Erruo, "This capybara seems to be the closest to you. As far as I know, it seems to be the pet of a ghost leader. How can I obey you?"

There was a hint of questioning in his tone.

Shi Erruo was keenly aware of the hostility hidden by this ghost towards her, but she had no idea where this hostility came from.

Suddenly, she took a closer look and discovered that a line of words appeared on the golden catfish.

When Shi Erruo blinked, she thought it was because her fever had not recovered, causing her eyesight to be dazzled, and she was mistaken.

"Hey, look at that fish, do you notice anything strange about it?"

Shi Erruo pointed to the golden fish and asked Liang Du, who was floating above, if he could also see something was wrong with the catfish.

Liang Du floated back and forth and looked carefully, "Other than being a little bigger, there's nothing strange about it. What's wrong?"

Liang Du's words made Shi Erruo even more confused. Could it be that this golden light could only be seen by her?

She moved a few steps, moved closer, and saw the words on Catfish clearly.

[The first form of gazing with the devil’s eye: seeing the appearance but not the appearance. 】

[The magic eye gazing skill has been continuously improved and has evolved into a text system, which can effectively communicate with the learner. Please blink to switch text. 】

Shi Erruo raised her eyebrows, very surprised. As expected of the skills taught to her by the Demon King, such a function had evolved.

She stared at the golden catfish and blinked tentatively.

The words on the catfish actually changed.

[The first form of the magic eye gaze can consume soul power to detect the energy value of all living beings that are different from normal. For example, a murderer will have a bloody aura, and a person who has been doing good deeds for a long time will also have a friendly aura. 】

Shi Erruo blinked again, and the words changed again.

[Whether to consume soul power to detect the locked creature? If you choose yes, please say silently in your heart: detection. 】
