Chapter 190: Swarm of Piranhas

"Is this the legendary Five-Colored Pool?" Jiang Feng's eyes were full of joy. "I saw it with my own eyes and found that the real scene is more beautiful than the pictures in the Jiuzhaigou tourism brochure! Jiajia, come and take a picture for me!"

"Okay! I'll take a picture for you first, and you can take a few pictures for me later!" Li Jiajia also seemed very excited. She fiddled with her phone to choose the viewing angle and asked Jiang Feng: "Sister Feng, do you want to take a photo with Brother Fei?"

"Sure!" Jiang Feng's cheeks blushed inexplicably, and he added: "But I want to take a photo with you more! And, our whole team is going to take a family photo here!"

Gao Fei was not very interested in taking pictures. He opened his phone and logged into "Zhihu" and searched for "Why do the ponds in Jiuzhaigou mountains show a variety of colors"...

The result is that there are different opinions.

Some people say that it is a problem with the local water quality, which is rich in metal elements such as copper and iron, so it appears colorful.

Some people say that it is because of the aquatic plant communities such as Spirogyra, Chara, and small ferns growing in the lake. Due to their different chlorophyll content, they show different colors in the lake water rich in calcium carbonate.

Others say that it is because of the unique karst landform in the area, which makes the bottom of the pond full of stalagmites, refracting light, giving the audience on the side of the pond an illusion...

"The water is so clear!"

Wang Daqing squatted by the pond, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to scoop up water to wash his face, but was pulled back by Ma Tao.

"What's wrong?" Wang Daqing looked back blankly.

"Look carefully, what's under that group of water plants." Ma Tao pointed to the water surface with a serious expression.

Wang Daqing looked in the direction of his finger, his eyes suddenly widened, he exclaimed, and fell on the grass.

Gao Fei and the others heard the noise and turned around to look over. Just below the water plants, a human skeleton could be vaguely seen...

"Damn it! No way..." Qi Tian scratched his head, "In such a beautiful pond, there is actually a dead body lying. This is too depressing!"

"Sister Feng, the photo I took just now...didn't take you and the skeleton together?" Li Jiajia was so scared that she couldn't even speak smoothly.

Jiang Feng waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care about the trivial matter. He took out a piece of beef jerky from the storage space of the star disk and threw it into the pond. The ripples slowly spread around.

The beef jerky floated on the water, attracting everyone's attention, and also attracted predators lurking at the bottom of the pool.

A group of shadows surged up, which was a huge school of fish. Countless small fish as thick as an adult's finger crowded together, surrounded the beef jerky and bit it frantically. In a blink of an eye, they were divided up and even the last bit of residue was swallowed into their stomachs.

When the fish are eating, through the clear water waves, you can see two rows of small and sharp teeth growing in their mouths.

It can be seen that the human skeleton sinking to the bottom of the pool is most likely a tourist who did not listen to the police's advice and sneaked into the mountain. He passed by here and jumped into the pond to play in the water, and unfortunately died in the mouth of the piranha.

As a famous scenic spot with a good reputation and many years of operation, the Five-Colored Pond in Jiuzhaigou area cannot have always had a piranha group, otherwise there should have been victims who spread the news and caused an uproar in the public opinion circle.

Based on this common sense, Gao Fei suspected that the fish in the pool were not aggressive at first, and they were probably infected by magic after the silver flash burst and mutated into a piranha group.

He opened the star map to check the pond, and the result verified his guess.

The piranhas in the Five-Colored Pond are indeed mutant creatures.

Hundreds of piranhas are a cluster, with a challenge level of 1, and the attributes are: strength 13, agility 16, constitution 10, intelligence 1, perception 7, and charm 4.

Just like the mutant rats seen in Heye Town before, the piranha group also has the characteristics of immunity to single attacks and "disturbing the mind" and other group characteristics. The trouble is that the fish live in the water, and it is difficult to cause effective damage to them from land attacks.

"This group of harmful fish must not be left, we must find a way to catch them all!" Jiang Feng said seriously.

"The question now is how to deal with this group of piranhas?" After all, Wang Daqing was a veteran, and he quickly regained his composure, frowning and thinking: "We can't go down to the pond to catch piranhas, unless we dig a ditch, build a dam, and drain the water in the pond..."

"Doing so will inevitably destroy the local original ecology and destroy a tourist attraction. The cost is too high..." Li Jiajia said reluctantly.

Ma Tao stared at the pond and pondered for a long time, and seemed to suddenly think of something. He turned around and asked Li Jiajia: "How much experience have you accumulated? Is it enough to upgrade the bard to level 4?"

Li Jiajia opened the star disk and looked at it, and nodded slightly.

"Very good! Jiajia, you upgrade the bard to level 4 and learn 'Ecstasy'. Then I don't need to tell you what to do, right?"

"Oh! Brother Tao, I understand!"

Li Jiajia is not stupid. She immediately realized Ma Tao's intention. After upgrading, she took out the amplified harmonica and played the newly learned supernatural music score "Ecstasy" by the pond.

The effect of "Ecstasy" is similar to Penny's "Ecstasy Dance", but it uses sound as a carrier to convey the magic of enchantment to the ears of the audience.

In fact, "Ecstasy" is also effective for creatures other than humans.

As long as the other party has an organ that receives sound wave vibrations, they will be affected by "Ecstasy". Unless their willpower is strong enough, they will involuntarily gather around the performer, listen to her performance in a trance, and be intoxicated to ignore everything around them.

Only when the performance ends or the audience is attacked and forcibly awakened can they get rid of the "bewitched" state.

Li Jiajia's special police profession has been upgraded to level 4, and both free attribute points are added to charm, which increases the charm attribute to 18.

Taking into account the charm modifier and proficiency bonus, the "bewitched song" played by her has a DC of 16 for will immunity.

In addition, she uses the instrument she is good at to play, and the enemy's will immunity roll to resist the "bewitched song" will also suffer a disadvantage penalty, and the lower will is taken on both dice.

The perception attribute of the piranha group is only a pitiful 7 points, and the will resistance is very low. It is no surprise that Li Jiajia successfully hypnotized them. They swam up from the bottom of the pool and gathered on the shore, blowing bubbles, and were obsessed with the "bewitched song" she played.

"Brother Fei, it's up to you next." Ma Tao whispered.

Gao Fei nodded in understanding, silently activated his rage, transformed into a red dragon, walked to the edge of the pond, leaned over, and blew a mouthful of flames at the surface of the water where the piranhas gathered!

In a blink of an eye, the water in the pond was boiled by the scorching dragon's breath, and bubbles gurgled.

In less than two minutes, a pool of hot and fragrant piranha soup was cooked...
