Chapter 238 Fishing for Insects
·
Jiu Yu
I have heard of fishing, but I have never heard of insect fishing, and there is such a thing as an insect fishing master.
After hearing what Wei Feng said, Ye Changqing said with great interest.
"Sounds good."
"Yes, senior brother, it is quite interesting to experience it. With senior brother's strength, he will definitely be able to reach the top of the list and become a true insect fishing master."
Listening to Wei Feng's praise, Ye Changqing's mouth twitched, what do I want from this insect fishing master?
Under the leadership of Wei Feng, the two came all the way to the square of Shucheng. There was a huge stone tablet in the center.
This is what Wei Feng calls the ranking list of insect fishing masters.
There are a total of ten names on the list, and they are the ten people who have caught the most insects over the years. Moreover, this stone tablet is also a treasure specially made by a weapon refiner. Once someone catches more insects than the people on the list, then the list will be will change in real time.
At a glance, I found that the people on the list were all monks, and their cultivation levels seemed to be quite high. Even the peak master of Baicao Peak, Mu You, was also on the list, ranking third.
"The ten people on this list are all alchemists. After all, alchemists have unique advantages in catching insects..."
Wei Feng explained on the side. After hearing this, Ye Changqing nodded, and then the two of them went to a special place to register and received a token.
The purpose of this token is to record the number of woodworms you kill. Every time a woodworm is killed, the corresponding number will be displayed on the token.
Just as Ye Changqing was completing the registration, there was a sudden noise in the square.
"Look, it's Master Zhang Chong."
"Alas, I didn't expect Master Zhang Chong to come to Shucheng again. Does he want to challenge the ranking?"
"It must be so. Master Zhang Chong has always been ranked second. This time he must want to reach the top of the list."
Xun Sheng looked around and saw an old man walking slowly towards this side surrounded by people. Wei Feng on the side also introduced him.
"This is Master Zhang Chong from the Dan Pavilion. He is an eighth-grade alchemist with a Nascent Soul realm. He ranks second on the insect fishing list and is a good insect fisher."
Wei Feng seemed to know the people on the fishing list quite well.
While speaking, Zhang Chong had already arrived in front of Ye Changqing and Wei Feng, glanced at them lightly, and said softly.
"A disciple of Daoyi Sect?"
"I have seen seniors."
Hearing this, Ye Changqing and the two of them also raised their hands and saluted. After all, he was also an eighth-level alchemist and a senior, so it was normal for him to take the initiative to salute.
But Zhang Chong said with disdain.
"My hair hasn't even grown yet, yet I still imitate other people's methods of fishing for insects, haha."
Is this old man sick?
Seeing this, Ye Changqing frowned slightly. He didn't offend this old guy, did he? He spoke so rudely?
Besides, it’s none of your business whether I know how to catch insects. What does an insect fishing master mean? Why can’t I hang out and play?
He registered like Ye Changqing, then turned around and left, but before leaving, Zhang Chong said disdain again.
"Keep an eye on what fishing insects are, and don't be embarrassed when the time comes."
What the hell...
Ye Changqing was speechless. This old man must be sick, and he didn't provoke him.
On the other hand, Wei Feng on the side seemed to know something inside and whispered to Ye Changqing.
"Senior brother, ignore him. This guy has always been very hostile to Dao Yizong."
"Did I, Dao Yizong, offend him?"
"It doesn't really count, but the top of the insect fishing list is Elder Chen from Baicao Peak. This old guy has always wanted to defeat Elder Chen, so he doesn't have a good look towards our Daoyizong."
"I see."
Not bothering to pay attention to this bad old man, Ye Changqing took the token and walked out of the square.
But Zhang Chong didn't know that countless pairs of eyes were already staring at him secretly.
"This old guy simply doesn't know how to live or die."
"Teach him a lesson, who are you talking to?"
"Yes."
"Act as planned, and this old guy, let him not catch a single worm today."
Zhang Chong probably never thought that there would be more than 2 disciples of the First Sect hidden in this tree city, and now, these 2 people were completely focused on him.
All the way from the city to the forest sea, which is under the city.
If you want to catch woodworms, you naturally need to look for them in the forest.
Wei Feng explained a lot about woodworms to Ye Changqing.
This woodworm can be regarded as a kind of monster, but it is very weak and can basically be killed by ordinary people.
They like to burrow into tree trunks and destroy trees from the inside.
So as long as you see a thumb-sized hole in a tree trunk, you can almost be sure that there must be woodworms in it.
However, processing them one by one is very slow.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, medicinal powder is used to force these woodworms out. This is why alchemists are very good at catching insects.
The ten insect fishing masters on the list are all alchemists.
After hearing Wei Feng's explanation, Ye Changqing nodded slightly.
"Oh, you don't even understand woodworms and you dare to come here to catch them?"
But at this moment, Zhang Chong appeared in front of the two of them and said with disdain.
Seeing this, Ye Changqing didn't bother to pay attention to him. This old guy was really sick.
He turned around and left, while Zhang Chong was now smearing some unknown medicinal powder on the big trees.
"Haha, this time I have specially prepared medicinal powder, so I will surely win the first prize in one fell swoop."
Zhang Chong was full of confidence, but just after he applied the powder and left, several Daoist disciples appeared here.
Looking at the tree trunk full of medicinal powder, several Dao Yizong disciples waited for a moment, and soon saw woodworms emerging from the trunk.
"This old guy's powder is quite useful."
"What do you think? He is a master of insect fishing."
"Hehe, but these are cheaper for us."
"Stop talking nonsense, take it away, take it all away."
Several disciples immediately took down all the woodworms, put them into special bags, and then disappeared in a flash.
Zhang Chong was spitting medicinal powder in front, while Dao Yizong disciples were collecting woodworms in the back.
Just like that, when Zhang Chong finished his work and was about to go back to collect woodworms, he found that there were none.
"It's strange, how could it not be?"
Zhang Chong frowned as he looked at the tree trunk covered in medicinal powder and didn't even see the shadow of a woodworm.
It shouldn't be, this medicinal powder was prepared with great effort by him, and it has an excellent effect on woodworms.
Once applied to the tree trunk, the woodworms will definitely be forced out, but now, why are there not even a single one?
Impossible, shouldn't be.
After looking around the tree trunk, Zhang Chong felt a little doubtful about life.
"Is it because there are no woodworms in this tree?"
Zhang Chong thought suspiciously that this might be the case. Then, Zhang Chong changed another one, but the result was still not a single woodworm.
Simply outrageous.
Just when Zhang Chong was confused and couldn't figure it out, Ye Changqing and the others came over. Looking at Zhang Chong walking around the big tree, Wei Feng also smiled angrily.
"Hey, isn't this the insect fishing master? Why, can't you even find the shadow of the wood insect?"
After hearing what Wei Feng said, Ye Changqing said with great interest.
"Sounds good."
"Yes, senior brother, it is quite interesting to experience it. With senior brother's strength, he will definitely be able to reach the top of the list and become a true insect fishing master."
