Xianyuan Farm

Waiting for Jinzhuan to have a good meal, Gu Hongyu had already put on his diving gear.

In order to save time, he decided to take the safer water route. With Jinzhuan leading the way, the journey would be much faster.

He didn't want this decision to make Gu Hongyu miss many wonders of nature. He regretted it when he came next time!

Even so, in the following journey, the animals in the water still opened his eyes.

The transparent shrimps with long tentacles flew far away when they heard the noise; the crabs waving their huge claws and living in the bottom of the water were also driven away by the movement of Jinzhuan passing by; there were also some strange aquatic animals that Gu Hongyu had never seen.

He would not let go of the wrong ones. As long as he saw animals that he had not seen outside, Gu Hongyu would put them into his space without hesitation to prevent these guys from being killed by other ferocious aquatic fish in the space. Gu Hongyu also specially cleared a pond in the space to raise animals in the cave.

When practicing the immortal method to the innate realm, one of the benefits that Gu Hongyu gained was that he could control the space of the immortal source fragments with energy consumption, and he could change the local conditions in his mind.

And he believed that as his practice became higher and higher, his ability would become stronger. In the future, he might be able to move mountains and seas in the space, or even dominate everything in the space, whether it was the rules or the will of the creatures in it, he would be the god in the space!

However, there is still a long way to go to reach that step, and it also requires a strong opportunity. The space needs spiritual energy, or energy to put it bluntly, and the fragments of the immortal source need to be gathered. As long as they are put together as a whole, there may be changes that he did not expect.

Along the way, Gu Hongyu can be said to have gained a lot.

The ornamental fish outside can be considered weak. As long as he gets one out here, it can directly kill the top precious fish species on the market.

This place can be called a gathering place for strange fish, but these fish live in underground caves all year round, and I don’t know if they can adapt to the environment outside.

As he thought about it, Gu Hongyu suddenly began to feel the mysterious place in his heart. The mark on his wrist that had not responded for a long time began to heat up slightly. This mark was really strange. It was usually invisible, and even Mei Ning, who was very close to him, did not notice it. But now it actually emitted a little light in the darkness. It was so weird!

The gold brick also actively transmitted his consciousness, telling Gu Hongyu that he was approaching the destination.

Shine the flashlight forward, the river began to narrow suddenly again, and the water flow did not change much and was still very calm. But Gu Hongyu's intuition told him that there were many dangers under this calm.

The wide river passed by. Even one side of the stone beach disappeared in front, leaving behind a very smooth stone wall washed by the water.

The gold brick also stopped at the narrowing river mouth at this moment, and told Gu Hongyu through the consciousness with relatively large fluctuations. It had only been here before, and if it went forward from here, it would encounter fierce animals in the river.

Last time, it was attracted by the strange things deep in the cave for a short time, but it was driven out by a fierce guy inside not long after. The scars that Gu Hongyu saw when he summoned Jin Zhuan were left because of this, which caused Gu Hongyu to speculate at that time!

The reason why Jin Zhuan happily led Gu Hongyu here this time was nothing more than looking for helpers, ready to punish the guy who hurt it last time. Gu Hongyu was still considered a powerful companion in Jin Zhuan's heart.

As if sensing Jin Zhuan's thoughts, Gu Hongyu patted Jin Zhuan's fish head and poured some space spring water directly into Jin Zhuan's mouth. Even if the road ahead was difficult, there was no reason to retreat since he had come here.

Encouraged by Gu Hongyu and stimulated by the spring water, Jin Zhuan jumped excitedly in the water at this time. If it could make a sound, it must be very powerful!

Gold Brick can only stay in the water. The attacks it can suffer should be from the water. This time, Gu Hongyu climbed up to the side with the rocky beach on foot and planned to advance from the land. If the situation is good, he might be able to help Gold Brick from the side.

Sure enough, before going a few steps deeper, the narrow river channel began to become restless, making the originally calm water surface rustle. I don’t know what is in the water. It feels that there is an invasion of foreign enemies, and now it is rushing towards the gold brick in the water.

Seeing this momentum, Gu Hongyu hurriedly used his consciousness to tell Gold Brick to retreat to the wide river channel. He was deeply taught by the revolutionary predecessors that if you don’t know who the enemy is, you can’t fight a battle without confidence!

Those guys are very territorial. When they reach the junction of the wide and narrow river channels, they will not move forward. However, at this time, Gu Hongyu has clearly seen what the guys in the river are with a strong flashlight. Aren’t these pufferfish?

It's unbelievable that such a creature exists in an isolated underground cave. I've seen all kinds of strange things along the way, and now even pufferfish have appeared. Is there anything missing from this underground water system?

Pufferfish, whose scientific name is actually pufferfish, is a general term for fish of the family Pufferfish of the class Osteichthyes.

Pufferfish is cylindrical in shape, with a well-known round body. The body length is generally about 100 to 300 mm, and the largest can reach more than 630 mm. The upper and lower jaws and teeth are fused into 4 large tooth plates, and the body length can reach 1.1m. There is one dorsal fin and no pelvic fins. There are no scales or small spines. There are air sacs that can inhale and expand.

There are many species of them, most of which live in the sea, but they can also be found in freshwater and where the sea and freshwater meet. They blow water and air in the water to make mud and sand fly up, and then prey on creatures hiding in the sand.

Because their teeth and jaws are very hard, they can even bite very hard shells.

The pufferfish has a round body shape and mainly relies on its pectoral fins to propel itself. Although this body shape can rotate flexibly, it is not fast, making it an easy target.

Therefore, pufferfish have evolved a self-defense mechanism that is very different from that of ordinary fish. When pufferfish are threatened, they can quickly inhale water or air into their extremely elastic stomachs, expand to several times their size in a short period of time, and scare off predators.

It is reasonable that pufferfish will not actively attack other creatures, but in the cave underground river under Honghu Lake, the current pufferfish do the opposite. A large group of them all swell up their bodies aggressively and block all the narrow river channels.

They can scare away gold bricks, but for Gu Hongyu, it is an incomparable joy. Pufferfish is a good thing. Although it is extremely poisonous, it is a rare delicacy as long as it is cooked properly. There is even such a saying: "If you don't eat pufferfish, you don't know the taste of fish."

Eating pufferfish meat, in addition to tasting its deliciousness, can also lower blood pressure, treat sore waist and legs, and restore energy.

Even toxins are priceless treasures. Very small doses can relieve pain, and its effect is 160,000 times stronger than the commonly used anesthetic cocaine; it is made into a strong analgesic, which often has a miraculous effect on cancer patients. It also has significant effects on skin itching, prurigo, scabies, dermatitis, asthma, whooping cough, gastric spasm, tetanus spasm, enuresis, impotence and other diseases.

Internationally, the price of "pufferfish toxin" per gram is as high as more than 50,000 US dollars, which is 1,000 times more expensive than gold!

With so many benefits, Gu Hongyu had no reason not to take action. He took out the net bag prepared in the space and went to the surface of the water where the pufferfish gathered. Those pufferfish had never been caught before. Seeing Gu Hongyu's net bag, they not only did not avoid it, but also became more swollen. They immediately became like balls.

Gu Hongyu didn't care what the pufferfish became. Anyway, as long as they fell into his net bag, he would immediately put them into the space. He opened a small puddle again and put all the pufferfish in it. The pufferfish that entered the unfamiliar area were immediately conquered by the space water. Soon, the pufferfish's swollen stomachs suddenly shrank.

For several times in a row, Gu Hongyu caught at least 50 pufferfish. The pufferfish left in the river became scarce. Soon they saw that the situation was not good, and they began to escape from Gu Hongyu's net bag one by one, and the blockade of the river was solved.

The lone pufferfish was no longer a match for Jin Zhuan. Seeing that Gu Hongyu had solved the trouble that had been bothering it, Jin Zhuan also conveyed his gratitude to Gu Hongyu through consciousness.

The situation has not been resolved. Gu Hongyu still subconsciously feels that there are dangers ahead, but he will not give up.

After walking forward for a while, nothing happened, which surprised Gu Hongyu, but he always felt something was wrong, and he didn't know where the danger would come from.

At this moment, the gold brick in the water jumped out of the water. This time it was not playing with Gu Hongyu. Gu Hongyu shone the strong flashlight and immediately saw a dark shadow chasing it behind the gold brick.

After a careful look, Gu Hongyu unexpectedly found that there was a flash of electric light in the water for a moment. The gold brick was hit by the electric spark and the whole fish was forced out of the water, and then it fled back.

"Oh my god." Gu Hongyu said a catchphrase.

There are electric eels in the dark river. Could it be that this section of water is the territory of electric eels? He and Jin Zhuan have just walked out of the wolf's den and encountered a tiger's den. It's really difficult one after another. Gu Hongyu was still glad that he escaped on the shore, but Jin Zhuan was completely miserable. He didn't know how it felt to be electrocuted by electric eels. Seeing Jin Zhuan being hit out of the water, Gu Hongyu didn't think of trying it at all.

Soon Gu Hongyu determined that this section of water was the territory of electric eels. After it drove Jin Zhuan to the dark river where the pufferfish was, it stopped chasing.

Gu Hongyu hurried over to comfort the frightened Jin Zhuan, and Jin Zhuan was indeed seriously injured. Gu Hongyu could still see that Jin Zhuan's body was shaking involuntarily. This experience should be fresh in his memory.

He was an invincible existence in Honghu Lake, but he became the object of bullying when he got underground. Jin Zhuan paid too much for that mysterious place. His courage is commendable!

However, this electric eel was still a small problem for Gu Hongyu. He might be a little afraid of animals that live in groups. Fighting alone? Gu Hongyu took out his trump card, the net bag, and rushed directly towards the electric eel.
