You were given the ability to tame beasts, not to become a god-level breeder.

Three minutes later, Ebao was still in the same position.

Zhuang Zhenyu and Li Gou: "..."

[The hungry baby, drinking from a tributary of the Fairy River: "So hungry! So hungry! So hungry!"]

Jiang Fan's lips twitched slightly.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that Hungry Baby had come here to drink unlimited river water.

Without the hunger level limit, the Hungry Baby would really enjoy drinking to his heart's content.

"Master, is the appearance of these spirit fish also... random?"

Jiang Fan noticed that no spirit fish appeared in the river.

Aside from Eating Treasure, his eight tamed beasts were somewhat lost within the Elf River branch. He wanted to use the word "luck," but then thought better of it and asked instead.

Looking around, there were quite a few beasts in the nearby river section, but not a single spirit fish could be seen.

If this were outside, how many anglers would blacklist the Elf River branch? The reason is simple: the fishing conditions aren't terrible, but there aren't a single fish.

Zhuang Zhenyu nodded.

Li Gou said, "It is indeed random. Sometimes thousands of spirit fish can appear in a day, and sometimes less than a hundred spirit fish can appear in a day."

As time passed, people began to catch fish not far away.

At Jiangfan, located at the source, not even a single fish scale could be seen.

Soon after, several other King-level beings whom Jiang Fan was unfamiliar with approached, summoning their beasts and crowding within a hundred-meter radius of the source.

These King-level beast tamers are all participating in the Elf River branch competition and have a seven-day exclusive opportunity to occupy the Elf River branch, with Zhuang Zhenyu and Li Gou choosing the time to use it.

Currently, a 100-meter section of the river at the source of the Elf River branch has been allocated to the Beastmasters who are vying for control of the branch, for testing methods of catching Elf Fish. The captured Elf Fish must be turned over to the national treasury.

Zhuang Zhenyu and Li Gou plan to determine the best method to capture the spirit fish within two months and twenty-three days, because the branch of the spirit river will likely dry up three months after its appearance.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Even after Jiang Fan had gotten to know all ten top-tier King-level beings who had returned alive, not a single spirit fish appeared within a hundred-meter radius of the source.

The other beasts, exhausted, returned to the Island of Imagination.

Only E Bao was still wading in the water, still drinking the river water in big gulps.

Li Gou glanced at Jiang Fan discreetly: "Your luck is a bit bad today. Logically speaking, at least one Fairy Fish should appear every few hours."

Jiang Fan's lips twitched slightly.

Li Diantang, your words have a hidden meaning; you're hinting at me.

"It's almost time to meet Ao Wuwang. Let's use some of our luck-based resources," Li Gou suggested to Zhuang Zhenyu.

"OK."

Zhuang Zhenyu nodded, and a bright yellow persimmon appeared in his palm.

"A tough persimmon!"

Jiang Fan glanced at it, and was surprised.

Persimmons are divided into hard persimmons and soft persimmons.

He thought hard persimmons were delicious, with a crisp texture and a sweet taste.

Soft persimmons are also good, with a sweet, glutinous, and refreshing taste.

In Jiang Fan's mind, hard persimmons and soft persimmons are of equal status, each having its own strengths and weaknesses.

Just like sweet tofu pudding and savory tofu pudding, he can accept and eat both.

The persimmon that the master took out was naturally not an ordinary hard persimmon.

[Resource: Persimmons symbolizing good fortune]

[Description: Diamond-tier Luck-type resource, extremely precious. Holding it can offset some of the bad luck; consuming it will greatly increase one's luck for a period of time.]

"I fed it to the hungry baby."

Zhuang Zhenyu took out a diamond-grade fruit knife and carefully cut a piece the size of a mung bean from the persimmon. He then put the persimmon back and handed the mung bean-sized piece to Jiang Fan.

"I'm so hungry! I'm so hungry! I'm so hungry!"

Before Jiang Fan could even take it, E Bao's signature barking rang out, gradually growing louder and louder.

Jiang Fan looked closely and saw that E Bao was already in front of him.

Li Gou was holding down E Bao's head with one hand. E Bao was completely unaware, his head pressed against Li Gou's palm, his webbed feet moving so fast that they seemed to be sparking from the friction with the rocky ground.

"This osprey, which never gets enough to eat, can also be used as a treasure-hunting mouse."

"It can detect any resources that are not well hidden immediately."

"And you don't have to worry about dying."

Zhuang Zhenyu smiled.

"Yes, Master is still the best."

"That's something I didn't think of."

Jiang Fan took the handful of persimmons, and his eyes lit up when he heard this.

If the beast is killed, the rider will die.

But Elebaby is different.

It possesses a trace of the gluttonous origin.

You won't die if you're killed.

However, resurrection will take a long time.

The more severe the physical damage, the longer the resurrection time.

Jiang Fan originally planned to keep raising Hungry Treasure until he had gathered enough resources to evolve it into an Extremely Hungry Osprey.

But Zhuang Zhenyu's words immediately made him realize that Eating Treasure was very useful!

Hungry Bird, before you evolved, you weren't just a useless bird that only knew how to eat!

Hungry Baby version of the Treasure Hunting Mouse!

As the tiny piece of persimmon was transferred to Jiang Fan's hand, Hungry Baby's charge direction also changed to Jiang Fan's location.

However, in front of Li Gou, E Bao was still charging in place.

Although Li Gou couldn't defeat Zhuang Zhenyu, he was still a genuine King-level player.

Controlling a beast with a growth level of silver is still a piece of cake.

"I'm so hungry! I'm so hungry!"

After swallowing the tiny piece of persimmon that Jiang Fan fed him, E Bao set sail again without stopping, rushing into the branch of the Elf River and drinking heartily.

About half an hour later, it's unclear whether it was the effect of good fortune or a change of luck.

brush!

Suddenly, a cluster of seven-colored light spots appeared around E Bao's body.

"The fairy fish has arrived!"

"Can we catch it?"

Jiang Fan and the other two were startled and stared intently at the ball of light.

The light points surged and eventually converged into a 66-meter-long, crystal-clear koi carp with seven-colored light points shimmering inside!

"I'm so hungry! I'm so hungry!"

Even before the seven-colored light appeared, Hungry Baby was more anxious than the three people on the shore.

It circled around the seven-colored light spot and stretched out its mouth to nibble.

As a result, I ended up drinking several more mouthfuls of river water.

Once the spirit fish had fully formed, it dodged the hungry baby's mouth in a flash and swam off in another direction.

"I'm so hungry! I'm so hungry!"

The hungry baby's cries revealed a hint of anxiety; the fish that was about to be eaten had swum away.

Jiang Fan didn't know whether it was E Bao's instinct as an osprey or the power of the Taotie's essence.

A chase ensued.

Hungry Treasure's Gold-level Fishing Talent kicks in, gradually getting closer to the Fairy Fish.

Open your mouth and bite down with a crunch.

Just as Hungry Baby was about to bite the spirit fish, the fish suddenly appeared and transformed into a ball of seven-colored light, causing Hungry Baby to bite into a mouthful of river water.

brush!

Seven-colored light spots floated forward, surging and churning.

It reformed into the shape of a spirit fish.

"it's over."

The spirit fish hadn't disappeared yet. Zhuang Zhenyu sighed and made his final judgment.

Li Gou also shook his head slightly.

Even the kings who returned after leaving couldn't help but sigh when they saw this scene.

Even the special ospreys couldn't catch the fairy fish.

Ten minutes later.

The fairy fish transformed into seven-colored light spots and disappeared.

Hungry Baby failed his first attempt to catch the Fairy Fish.

It would be a lie to say Jiang Fan wasn't disappointed: he jokingly complained to himself.

Hungry baby, you're a cormorant! How could you let the fish get away?

Even a fairy fish is still a fish.

Fish are under the cormorant's jurisdiction!

"Let's go, it's about time to head to the Sirius Treasury," Li Gou said.

"Mm." Zhuang Zhenyu nodded.

Just then, a figure suddenly walked over.

"Ha ha ha ha!"
