156: The Lake
When diving into the lake, Heath swam quickly to the other side of the lake. The Tarot spider has a very strong tracking ability. If it still stays on the water, it may not be able to track Heath by smelling the smell. There will be no such possibility after diving into the lake. The water element has a very strong restraining effect on the Tarot spider. This restraint is all-round, including its tracking ability. Once Heath dives into the lake, the Tarot spider will not be able to continue to locate his position.
"Huhuhu~!Huhuhu!~"
In the lake, a breath sounded like a bellows twitching.
With the help of the mermaid gill, Heath was able to maintain normal breathing underwater, but this breath is completely different from the breathing on the ground. Just listening to the breathing sound can tell that this breathing is much heavier.
This is because the working principle of the mermaid sea gland is like the ordinary parotid gland. It absorbs a large amount of surrounding water, filters out oxygen from the water and supplies it to Heath's respiratory system, so that Heath can breathe underwater.
This kind of pumping a large amount of water every time requires a lot of effort, and it also consumes a lot of effort when filtering water, which causes this sound like a bellows twitching when breathing.
If you rely solely on your own strength to urge the mermaid gills to filter the sea water, even the great knight Ixis will not be able to use the mermaid gills for too long, and at most you will have no strength after using them for half an hour.
The reason why Heath was able to breathe freely underwater was mainly because there was a magic circle on the mermaid's sea gill. The function of this magic circle was to extract magic power from the magic stone to provide the operation of the mermaid's sea gill. It was precisely because of this magic circle that Heath could use the mermaid's sea gill freely.
I swam all the way forward, and while swimming, I couldn't help but observe the surrounding scenery.
It is different from the situation inside the sea water. The sea water is very clear. You can see the surrounding fish, aquatic plants and even the sunlight that penetrates the sea clearly, just like a transparent glass bottle.
The water quality in this freshwater lake is relatively turbid, and a layer of mud and sand can be seen in the water surface. The entire water surface looks a bit dark and not so transparent, as if it is covered with a layer of fog.
But this is normal. After all, the sea water is an endless vast ocean. No matter what comes in, it will be quickly swallowed by the powerful volume of the sea itself. However, lakes have small volume and limited swallowing ability. Many mud and sand that cannot be swallowed can easily drift in the water, resulting in turbidity in the water.
In addition, the ecological environment in the lake is not as good as that in Shanghai. The magnificent scene of sea fishes gathering in groups, hundreds of thousands, or even tens of thousands of aquatic creatures gathered together in the sea.
The ecological environment in the lake is really simple and unremarkable compared to the sea. Heath has been observing the surroundings all the way, but he has not seen many aquatic creatures such as fish, shrimps, crabs, etc. Occasionally, most of them are walking alone when they see them. The largest number of fish Heath has seen is only about a hundred. Compared to the sea, it is really small, not a little bit small.
However, there is also an extra scenery here that cannot be seen in the sea.
After all, sea water is salt water, and many freshwater creatures are definitely not visible in that place, such as frogs.
While swimming to the other side, Heath saw a few frogs swimming forward in the water, with more than a dozen tadpoles surrounding them, which felt like tadpoles were looking for their mothers.
Not far away, there is a lotus leaf. The frog swam all the way to the lotus leaf and jumped onto the lotus leaf. The remaining tadpoles surrounded the lotus leaf and refused to leave, which looked very interesting.
In addition, freshwater shrimps, freshwater fish, and many aquatic creatures that cannot be seen in the sea water are here, and there are also some magical creatures, such as a fish that can spit out ice swords.
This is a water-based magic creature called ice carp. The water fish freshwater fish lives specifically in forest lakes and rivers that are already inland. Although the streams are not very eye-catching, their strength is really good. They have the strength comparable to medium-sized apprentices and are very good at using ice element magic.
Every once in a while, they will release ice element energy out regularly, and during their release of energy, wherever they swim will be frozen and form ice lumps to the surface.
From an outside perspective, after the fish in the water swim, an ice road suddenly appeared under the water, which looked very magical. Therefore, this fish was also named ice road fish by some ignorant humans. Some humans also think they are descendants of the Ice God and use them as faith to worship them.
"Oh, Heath, look, it's an ice carp! I really didn't expect that there would be such a thing here."
Seeing the ice carp, Nina was surprised and pointed at the front and shouted at Heath.
Ice carp have very good medicinal value for wizards. The parotid glands on their bodies can be used to make many very precious potions.
It is precisely because of this that ice carp is the object of pursuit by wizards no matter where they are. A large number of wizards are looking for lakes around the world to catch these ice carp. At some time, wizards would use magic to dive in the forests in the wild to see if there are any ice carp. For this reason, a large number of witch tools specially used to catch ice carp are also appeared.
However, it is precisely because of the wizards' mass hunting that ice carp is becoming increasingly rare now, and rare things are more expensive. In the past, ice carp prices were not cheap. Now, with the sharp decline in the number of ice carp, the price of ice carp has become even higher.
If an ice carp that is about an inch long is taken to the Wizards Market, it will start at least 100,000 magic stones. This shows how precious this material is.
Nina hurriedly shouted to Heath: "Hurry, Heath, grab it!"
Heath said without hesitation: "You don't need to remind me."
It doesn't matter to him that the magic stone is not a magic stone. The key is that Heath, a magic creature like Ice Carp, had never mentioned it before. Now there is a rare opportunity, so he cannot miss it.
"I wonder how many attribute bonuses this thing can bring to me?"
Thinking curiously, Heath exerted force and immediately shot out at the ice carp in front of him like an arrow.
After repeated practice at the beach during this period, Heath has mastered the skills of underwater movements very well. There is no need to say more about the speed when swimming, and it is no different from the sword shot out.
It was about to rush to the ice carp, but just now, the ice carp seemed to sense something. The fish tail swung suddenly and immediately flew out, throwing Heath away before it pounced on it.
"Oh, little guy, run very fast!"
After a sudden rush, Heath was not in a hurry and mobilized his strength again to continue chasing the ice carp in front of him.
For a moment, a man and a fish began to chase the lake, with the ice carp swimming in front, while Heath followed closely behind.
Originally, Heath thought it would be easy to take down this little fish, but the pursuit was beyond his expectations.
Although this ice carp is not a powerful magic creature, its swimming speed in the water is surprisingly fast, just like a gust of wind blowing in the water, and its eyes disappear directly after it explodes, which makes Heath lose his way after chasing him several times.
Of course, if Heath uses magic, then this little thing will definitely not be able to escape from his palm. As long as the wizard's force field is opened, Heath can control the absolute force field within a hundred meters around it. It is completely easy to catch this little fish.
However, Heath did not choose to do this. After all, it is not in a hurry to get ashore now. It is also quite interesting to be able to make a fuss with this little fish under the water.
It’s like the nobles who like to go out to hunt mostly enjoy the fun of hunting, not the prey itself, Heath also has the same particles.
"Swoosh swish swish!"
"Swish swish swish!"
All kinds of crisp sounds were heard in the water, and Heath and the ice carp quickly rang in the water.
After chasing this for more than ten minutes, the ice carp's speed gradually slowed down. After all, it was just a small fish. No matter how powerful it was, its physical strength was always limited, especially the state of dodging at high speed just now, which was the most physically consuming.
The speed of Heath and the ice carp was equally comparable. He had been hanging not far behind the ice carp's tail before. Now, as soon as the ice carp's speed dropped, he immediately chased after it. Soon, the chase came to an end.
He grabbed the small ice carp in his hand, and Heath grinned: "Run? Didn't you run quite fast?"
The ice carp opened its mouth and immediately spat out an ice arrow. The arrow came very suddenly and rushed directly to Heath's face. If it were another wizard here, it would be possible that he would suffer a loss, but for Heath, it would be just a childish attack.
Just as the ice arrow was approaching, a silver mimetic shield quietly emerged and immediately blocked his cheeks, as if he was wearing a silver mask on his face.
"Click!" With a sound, the ice arrow hit the mimetic shield and shattered it.
"Good guy, you dare to attack me!"
He snorted his nostrils, and Heath, who had been murderous for a long time, did not give the monster a chance to attack him again. He reached out and pinched the central nerve on the forehead of the ice carp and exerted a little force. With a "click" sound, the ice carp's center was directly destroyed by him.
Then, Heath silently said in his heart: Extract.
"Drip, the extraction is successful, mental power +0.2."
"Drip, the extraction is successful, the agility increases by 0.3."
"Drip, extract successfully, and gain talent [Swimming in the Speed]."
"Drip, extract successfully, and get the Ice Carp Life Series."
"Drip, the extraction is successful..."
The little carp did not disappoint Heath. As soon as he finished speaking, a series of systematic prompt sounds suddenly sounded in his ears, and then he felt a long period of pure energy and various knowledge pouring into his spiritual sea of consciousness and mind.
Heath closed his eyes and felt it for a moment, but was deeply surprised: "Ah, [Swimming at the Speed] No wonder this thing can swim so fast, it turns out that the secret is here!"
Speedy swimming is the talent attribute he just extracted from this ice carp. This talent clearly records the reason why the ice carp can swim quickly. Now this talent belongs to Heath. Of course, this talent originally belonged to the ice carp, which is completely in line with the ice carp's body. If Heath's body forced to use this talent, it would be impossible.
For example, a dog can have a strong sense of smell, which is determined by its physiological structure. No matter how humans or other organisms simulate the behavior of a dog, it is impossible to obtain such an excellent sense of smell talent as a dog.
But wizards are different. As long as the wizard masters the detailed composition of the opponent's talent, he can completely reproduce the opponent's talent.
There are two ways to reproduce. One is to change yourself, such as using the change technique to transform yourself into an ice carp, so that you can have the physiological structure of the ice carp, and then you can naturally use these talents of the ice carp.
Another way to transform yourself is consistent with the principle of the previous method, which is to try to change your physiological structure and allow yourself to have the physiological structure of ice carp so that you can use the talent of ice carp.
Another way is to modify the talent of the ice carp, modifying the physiological structure that suits one's own so that it can be used.
This method is equivalent to creating a spell with this effect based on the talent of the ice carp. Of course, this requires a high level of knowledge and spell creation ability to do it, which is far from what ordinary people can accomplish.
But this method is also one of the common methods used by wizards.
The magic of wizards mostly comes from the simulation of the abilities of various creatures in nature, and many magics are also created by simulating the original talents of those strange creatures in nature.
Although this method is mainstream, it is also the most difficult. The most difficult part is to understand the talent structure of these creatures.
Although the external manifestations of a creature's talent are easy to know, the inner talent structure is very hidden and cannot be easily seen.
If a wizard wants to understand the specific structure of a certain talent of a certain creature, he needs to conduct a lot of experiments, guesses, and research, so that he can dig out the other party's talent structure step by step.
However, it is easy to understand the talent structure when he comes to Heath, because while extracting the opponent's talent, the opponent's complete talent structure has also been extracted...
