Become the strongest in the world of gods through game experience

The green turtle poked its head out of the water, licked its lips with its drooling tongue, and its eyes revealed a deep longing.

Zhang Xiaoyuan realized that this green-skinned turtle was a glutton.

Are you sure you didn't eat all the fish in here?

"I'd like to, but these fish are too cunning. After eating just a few of them, they hid inside and wouldn't come out."

The green turtle looked dejected, its thoughts written all over its face. Before Zhang Xiaoyuan could ask, it had already given a detailed account of the information about the Flowing Light Fish.

"The shimmering fish is very fast, difficult to catch, and extremely timid."

"In the past, we were able to eat them because I would open my mouth wide and place it over the drain and wait for them."

"But ever since then, the glitterfish have become smarter and never come out of that outlet, so I've never eaten one again."

The green turtle paddled around a few more times with its limbs, and following the flow of the river, it led Zhang Xiaoyuan and the others to the small lake it had mentioned.

"This is called a small lake?"

Hou Mu looked at the "lake" that branched off from the river channel and was at least several thousand meters wide, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Zhang Xiaoyuan also looked at the green turtle with surprise. Although the green turtle was large, it was not large enough to be considered a small lake.

Feeling slighted, the green turtle snorted, "Open your little eyes and take a good look!"

With a roar from the green turtle, Zhang Xiaoyuan noticed that the distance between him and the others around him had suddenly increased.

"Roar!"

The green turtle turned its head again and saw Hou Mu staring at it in horror as it grew larger. Hou Mu was clearly frightened, and the turtle felt a sense of smugness.

"See this? This is my true form. The previous one was just a way to make it easier to play in narrow river channels."

"good."

Seeing that the green-skinned turtle had the ability to grow (or shrink) 10 times its original size, Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Hearing Zhang Xiaoyuan, the person who had been scaring it, say the same thing, the green turtle couldn't help but curl up its lips.

But when the green turtle heard what Zhang Xiaoyuan said next, it immediately became obedient.

"If we can kill it, the skills it unleashes will definitely be very powerful."

Zhang Xiaoyuan sighed, feeling somewhat regretful, because he still couldn't kill the green-skinned turtle.

"I used to just open my mouth wide and block the drain, but now the glitterfish has gotten smarter and won't come out anymore."

The green turtle quickly changed the subject, using the topic of "fishing" that Zhang Xiaoyuan was interested in to attract his attention.

"Ah."

Zhang Xiaoyuan nodded, temporarily suppressing her desire to kill the green turtle to gain the skill, and patted the turtle's shell, signaling it to enter the lake.

Fishing directly in the fish's enclosure will likely yield a greater catch.

"I can't get in."

The green turtle spoke somewhat awkwardly.

"Can't get in?" Zhang Xiaoyuan frowned.

"This is a restriction imposed by the gods. Not only can I not get in, but I can't even damage the riverbed. Otherwise, I would have already smashed the earthen slopes on both sides of the small lake and created more outlets for the shimmering fish," the green turtle said in frustration.

"Is that so? Looks like I'll just have to fish from the sidelines."

Zhang Xiaoyuan made the green turtle shrink again and swam to the edge of the water outlet, preparing to fish.

Hou Mu and Shi Tian exchanged bewildered glances. Had they really come here on a powerful magical beast just to fish?!

"The first step in fishing is to bait the area."

Zhang Xiaoyuan asked Ishida for some pieces of meat. He didn't know what the Flowing Light Fish liked to eat, but as a magical beast, it probably liked to eat meat, unless it was a vegetarian magical beast.

Besides the monster meat chunks, Zhang Xiaoyuan also threw out a small portion of the miscellaneous items she had previously used to light up the encyclopedia, including some flowers, herbs, and fruits.

The Flowing Light Fish has always lived in the river and has never been on land. Presumably, these things must have some attraction, otherwise they wouldn't have attracted a level 40+ Green-skinned Turtle.

Although the green turtle may be tempted by its gluttony, things that haven't been tried before are often more appealing.

Just like a child, you always want a toy you've never played with.

Just like men, those who have never been in a relationship...

Sure enough, just a few minutes later, Zhang Xiaoyuan saw about a dozen fish with shimmering bodies appear through the water.

"The shimmering fish has appeared!" the green turtle roared excitedly.

The glitterfish is 30-40 cm long, with a long, spindle-shaped body covered in colorful scales.

The shimmering fish first cautiously surveyed its surroundings, and after confirming that there was no danger, it rushed towards the piece of meat and quickly devoured it and the other food.

Without food, the glittering fish became agitated and started circling in place.

"These glowfish look a bit clumsy."

Zhang Xiaoyuan looked down at the green turtle at her feet.

Although the Green-skinned Turtle has gained intelligence, it now seems to be only slightly smarter than ordinary magical beasts.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been fooled by Zhang Xiaoyuan.

Zhang Xiaoyuan took out another piece of meat, but this time she didn't throw it into the river. Instead, she hooked it onto a fishing hook and cast the line casually.

The fishing spot is now prepared, and the gliders have gathered. We're just waiting for them to take the bait one by one.

"So many glittering fish, and other foods I've never tried before! Ah, I really want to eat them!"

The green turtle at my feet kept smacking its lips, drooling all over the ground.

"Human, if you can give me a shimmering fish and some other food, I'll take you with me next time I find a delicious fish."

Zhang Xiaoyuan initially didn't want to pay attention and focused on fishing, but she couldn't stand the green turtle constantly muttering under her feet and wagging its tail, looking pitiful.

In the end, Zhang Xiaoyuan agreed to the green turtle's request.

The green-skinned turtle is bound by a divine oath; the foolish turtle will eventually realize what's happening.

However, if Zhang Xiaoyuan trades with the Green-skinned Turtle for things it cannot obtain, and establishes a strong foundation for cooperation, the Green-skinned Turtle can gradually be brought under Zhang Xiaoyuan's control in a different way.

"Give."

Zhang Xiaoyuan tossed some pieces of meat to the green turtle, which showed a satisfied expression on its face.

Although these chunks of meat weren't as delicious as the glitterfish, they were still quite tasty for a first try.

At the same time, we heard a response from the fishing rod: a glider had taken the bait!

"Hou Mu, unleash your skill on the fishing line," Zhang Xiaoyuan instructed.

"what?"

Hou Mu was stunned for a moment, then reacted and released the thorn whip, which became tightly entangled with the fishing line.

Combining fishing line with a wooden whip can make ordinary fishing line stronger, so it won't be torn apart by the swirlfish.

Hou Mu's lips twitched. He never expected that his skills would be used in this way. It was really too much!

Hou Mu wanted to resist and lash out at Zhang Xiaoyuan with his whip, to tell her that his whip was for killing magical beasts.

Unfortunately, it's just a dream...

All of these shimmering fish were level 10 or higher, and since they were in the water, they could use their strength to pull them up. Zhang Xiaoyuan pulled for a while before finally managing to catch them.

call out!

As the glittering fish exhausted its strength, Zhang Xiaoyuan lifted the rod and caught the fish in her hand, placing it on the turtle's back.

One luminous fish can only yield a small reward from the gods; you need a large enough number to get a good reward.

When the green turtle saw that Zhang Xiaoyuan had caught a glittering fish, its saliva involuntarily dripped from the corner of its mouth.

"Human, can I eat first? Please..."

The green-skinned turtle wanted to try, but it never expected that Zhang Xiaoyuan would agree so readily.

However, the green turtle soon found out why Zhang Xiaoyuan had agreed so readily.

Because Zhang Xiaoyuan stewed and ate the first glittering fish she caught right in front of him!

"Ah, it smells so good, but why does the fish soup taste a bit burnt?"

Hou Mu drank a large bowl of wine with relish, smacked his lips, and said with some surprise.

"You can't even shut your mouth while drinking soup!"

Ci Nianyun glared fiercely at Hou Mu, making Hou Mu shrink back in fear. But when he heard what Ci Nianyun said next, he felt his heart shatter completely.

Ci Nianyun looked at Zhang Xiaoyuan with a slightly shy expression and said softly:

"This is my first time cooking, and I hope you won't mind as I apologize for misunderstanding you before."

Hou Mu's eyes were vacant. "Zhang Xiaoyuan got the captain's first time..."
