Chapter 55: Swarm of Piranhas

"Is this the legendary Five Color Pond?" Jiang Feng's eyes were full of joy, "When I saw it with my own eyes, I realized that the real scene is more beautiful than the pictures in the Jiuzhai tourism brochure! Jiajia, come and take a picture for me!"

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

?”

"Yes!" Jiang Feng's cheeks flushed inexplicably, and he added in a covert manner: "But I want to take a photo with you even more! Also, our whole team wants to take a family photo here!"

Gao Fei was not very interested in taking pictures, so he turned on his mobile phone and logged into "Zhihu" and searched "Why do the ponds in Jiuzhai Mountains show various colors"...

The result is mixed opinions.

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

Some people also say that it is because there are aquatic plant communities such as Spirogyra, Chara, and Ferns growing in the lake. Due to their different chlorophyll contents, the calcium carbonate-rich lake water shows different colors.

It is also said that because of the unique local karst landform, the bottom of the pond is covered with stalagmites, which refracts light and creates an illusion for viewers by the pool...

“The water in the pool is so clear!”

Wang Daqing squatted by the pond, rolled up his sleeves, and planned to grab some water to wash his face, but Ma Tao pulled him back.

"What's wrong?" Wang Daqing turned around blankly.

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

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

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

"Damn it! No way..." Qi Tian scratched his head, "There is a dead body lying in a pond with such a beautiful environment. This is too disgraceful!"

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

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

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

A group of shadows swarmed up, and it turned out to be a huge school of fish. Countless small fish, only as thick as an adult's finger, crowded around the beef jerky and gnawed wildly, carving it up in the blink of an eye, swallowing even the last bit of residue.

Go into the belly.

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 humanoid skeleton sunk at the bottom of the pond was probably a tourist who secretly entered the mountain despite the police's advice. Passing by, he jumped into the pond to play in the water, and unfortunately died at the mouth of a school of piranhas.

As a famous scenic spot with a good reputation that has been in business for many years, it is impossible for the colorful ponds in the Jiuzhai area to always have piranhas. Otherwise, there would have been victims who would have spread the word and caused an uproar in the public opinion circle.

Based on this common sense, Gao Fei suspected that the fish in the pond were not originally aggressive. They were probably infected by magic after the silver flash broke out and mutated into a swarm of piranhas.

He opened the astrolabe and looked at the pond, and the results confirmed his guess.

The piranhas in the colorful pond are indeed mutant creatures.

Hundreds of piranhas act as a swarm, with a challenge level of 1 and attributes: Strength 13, Agility 16, Constitution 10, Intelligence 1, Perception 7, and Charisma 4.

Like the mutant rat swarm we saw in Heye Town before, the piranha swarm also has swarm characteristics such as immunity to single body attacks and "disturbing the mind". The trouble is that the fish swarm lives in the water, and attacks launched from land are very difficult.

It is difficult to effectively kill them.

"We must not keep these harmful fish, we must find a way to catch them all!" Jiang Feng said sternly.

"The question now is how to deal with these piranhas?" Wang Daqing was a veteran after all. He quickly regained his composure, frowned and thought: "We can't go into the pond to catch piranhas, unless we dig a ditch and build a dam.

Drain the pond…”

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

Ma Tao stared at the pond and pondered for a long time. He 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 astrolabe and looked at it, then nodded slightly.

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

"Oh! Brother Tao, I understand!"

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

The function of "Ecstasy" is similar to Penny's "Ecstasy Dance", except that it uses sound as a carrier to convey the magic of ecstasy to the ears of the audience.

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

As long as the opponent has an organ that receives sound wave vibrations, he will be affected by "Ecstasy". Unless his willpower is strong enough, he will involuntarily gather around the performer, listen to her performance in ecstasy, and become so intoxicated that he ignores everything around him.

Only when the performance ends for a round, or the audience is attacked or forcibly awakened, can the state of "ecstasy" be released.

Li Jiajia's SWAT profession has been upgraded to level 4. Two free attribute points are added to charm, raising the charm attribute to 18.

Taking into account Charisma modifiers and proficiency bonuses, the "Ecstasy" she played had a Will save DC of 16.

In addition, she uses the instrument she is good at playing in conjunction with the performance. The enemy's Will saving throw trying to resist "Ecstasy" will also suffer a disadvantage penalty. Double dice, whichever is lower.

The perception attribute of the piranhas was only a pitiful 7 points, and their will resistance was very low. Without any suspense, they were successfully hypnotized by Li Jiajia. They swam up from the bottom of the pool and gathered on the shore, blowing bubbles and intoxicated by the "" she played.

Ecstasy".

"Brother Fei, what happens next is up to you." Ma Tao said in a low voice.

Gao Fei nodded knowingly, silently turned on his violent rage, transformed into a red dragon form, walked to the edge of the pond, leaned down, and sprayed a mouthful of flames toward the water where the piranhas gathered!

In the blink of an eye, the water in the pool was boiled by the hot dragon's breath, and bubbles bubbled up.

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