Spirit summons? I want to do it myself!

The first step of Lido's fishing plan is to use her mental power to find the trace of the ice thorn fish.

Lido's spiritual thread passed through the thick ice on the river surface and entered the river water under the ice, while conducting a carpet search in both upstream and downstream directions.

To be honest, although she did not personally touch the ice, when her spiritual thread passed through the ice and came into the river, Lido seemed to feel the chill gushing out from all directions and shivered involuntarily.

Liduo's guess was correct. This was indeed the favorite environment of ice sticklebacks. Because Liduo found three ice sticklebacks at the sharp bend upstream, and two ice sticklebacks at a slightly gentler place downstream.

Moreover, the smallest of these five icethorn fish is one meter long, and they are obviously adults.

The ice stickleback is long and round in shape, so although it is long, it is much lighter than grass carp, carp, black carp, silver carp or sea grouper of the same length.

Liduo estimated that the weight of the five icethorn fish was between ten and twenty-five kilograms.

If Lido wanted to complete the task, she could just catch all five fish and hand in the task directly.

The three ice sticklebacks upstream are enjoying the rapid rush of the cold river water, while the two ice sticklebacks downstream are hunting.

Obviously, this is the Feng Shui treasure land chosen by the ice sticklebacks. After the two ice sticklebacks downstream have eaten and drunk their fill, they will probably swim to the upstream area to have a spa with their companions.

Some people may ask, can five fish be considered a good Feng Shui site? That is totally wrong!

Do you think that ice stickleback is a common economic fish? If so, why is it worth it for the boss of Shanshuilou to issue a special task?

You know, the Icethorn Fish is a magical beast! How could its population be so huge that it could even cause a disaster?!

If the ice sticklebacks become a disaster, then the entire Huashi River will probably be eaten up by them! Just like the invasive species that flooded many rivers in China on the Blue Planet in the previous life and was hated by many anglers - the scavenger!

You know, ice sticklebacks feed on other smaller fish and shrimps! Their habits are similar.

However, what makes ice sticklebacks better than scavengers is that they do not eat fish eggs.

Moreover, the ice stickleback is much more strict about water quality and living environment, and its reproductive capacity is far inferior to that of the scavenger!

The most important point is that ice stickleback is very delicious and has outstanding nourishing effect!

If it weren't for its status as a magical beast with a certain degree of self-preservation ability, the Icethorn Fish would probably have followed the same fate as another famous invasive species on the blue planet - the crayfish!

All in all, ice sticklebacks are not that common, and it is very rare to see five ice sticklebacks in a river at the same time.

The distance between the upstream and downstream ice sticklebacks and Liduo was less than 200 meters. Liduo even moved her position slightly to make the distance between herself and the two more balanced.

Drilling a hole in the ice at this location, as long as it is not too big, should not affect the two waves of icethorn fish, and will not alarm them and cause them to dive to the bottom of the river.

Lido pulled out her fine steel sword and didn't even use the Qingfeng Slash. She relied purely on her own strength to carefully cut a two-meter-square square crack on the ice.

Before the square ice block is completely separated from the ice surface, insert the long knife into the crack, then increase the force little by little to deepen the crack until it is completely separated.

The reason why Lido did this was to prevent the sound of the ice cracking from being too loud and transmitted to the icethorn fish to alarm them, otherwise it would take an unknown amount of time for them to emerge into the upper water flow.

After the square ice block was completely separated from the ice layer, due to the effect of buoyancy, the ice block still stayed well in the distance, and it still looked like a whole when viewed from a distance.

In order not to alarm the ice stickleback fish, the big ice block naturally could not be allowed to fall into the water, so the spider silk rope came in handy for the first time.

Lido tied the four corners of the ice block with spider silk ropes, and then slowly pulled it up bit by bit. It took a lot of effort to pull the ice block to the ice surface, and the square hole was revealed.

The ice blocks pulled up were not wasted. Lido split the ice blocks into long strips at the riverside, and then piled them up around the square ice hole, like a well platform, to prevent Lido from slipping on the ice and falling into the ice hole.

The piled up ice blocks quickly re-froze onto the ice surface and were now very solid. The ice hole now looked more like a well.

Having not seen sunlight and air for several months, the fish near the ice hole could not wait to jump out of the ice hole to greet the fresh sunlight and air, and then were blocked back into the ice hole by the ice platform built by Lido, causing a splash of water.

Ah! What a big noise! ​​Even though there aren't many other fish species in this area because of the presence of the Icethornfish, the abundance of fish resources in the rivers of the Magic Continent is far beyond the reach of the overfished rivers on Blue Star!

Now it was like cold water dripping into an oil pan - it was a frying pan! The sound of fish splashing in the water had already attracted the attention of the two ice sticklebacks that were hunting downstream!

At this moment, Liduo didn't care about so much! She took out a large basket, hung it with a spider silk rope, and threw it into the ice hole. Then, without waiting for a long time, she pulled it up. After pulling the basket out of the "well platform", she poured the fish inside onto the ice surface and continued to throw the basket into the ice hole.

It was because Lido was really strong and had great endurance that she was able to throw the basket in and pull it out so quickly.

Lido fished several times and finally caught almost all the fish near the ice hole. There were one or two fish left but Lido was too lazy to bother with them.

Now all kinds of fish are thrown everywhere on the ice outside the "well platform". I'm afraid the three large baskets that Liduo brought are not enough to hold them.

Fortunately, Lido's efforts did not affect the three ice sticklebacks upstream. The two ice sticklebacks downstream were still eager to move when they first heard the splashing sound, but as Lido quickly caught all the fish, the two ice sticklebacks went back to eat the prey they had caught before.

It was a small school of fish. Unlike other carnivorous fish, the Icethorn fish hunts by not chasing after the school of fish and biting them at the same time. Instead, it attacks with ice spikes to freeze or kill the target fish before eating them.

The ice stickleback has a large mouth and sharp teeth that are unique to speed-type carnivorous fish, and looks very similar to the sea wolf fish on the blue planet in the previous life. They swim very fast and have a strong bite force, so biting their prey is not a problem at all.

So when the sound from the ice hole where Lido was no longer came, their attention returned to the prey in front of them.

Fortunately! Liduo breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the ice thorn fish didn't run away! It seems that it won't run away for a while.

Taking this opportunity, Lido quickly picked up all the fish on the ice and put them on the shore, for fear that the ice near the ice hole would not be able to bear the weight and crack.

Fortunately, nothing happened, and Lido used her mental power to check the results to confirm it.

Of course, having caught so many common fish, including some large ones, many of which sell for quite good prices on weekdays, Lido was a little worried about how to load and ship the fish.

Anyway, it was impossible to throw it away. Liduo had no habit of wasting. Fortunately, the weather was still cold, so it was not difficult to keep the fish fresh, and it was convenient to use local materials.

Liduo directly dug out a large block of ice that was 80 centimeters thick from the snow, and used a long knife to cut it, and a large ice sled was made.

Lido loaded all the fish into the ice sled, and there was still a lot of space left. Well, I don't have to worry about it when I go back later.

After dealing with the several hundred kilograms of extra fish, Lido finally had time to deal with the icethorn fish.

In view of the commotion just now, Lido planned to catch the three ice spines upstream first. After all, the two fish downstream had prey as attractants, and they had just experienced something, so they would not be too sensitive.

Since there are three icethorn fish tied together, it is naturally better to catch all three fish at the same time.

No matter how slow-witted a fish is, it will run away if it sees that its friend who was just by its side is gone, right?

Lido didn't want to miss any of the icethorn fish, so she had no choice but to catch them all at the same time.

Fortunately, Lido had three spider silk ropes and enough fish hooks, so she just needed to use two large ones and one medium-sized one.

The medium-sized hook can be used to catch the smallest ice thornfish. With the help of Lido's spiritual thread, the three ice thornfish will be doomed.
