Ye Li looked carefully into the fish's belly and immediately discovered that there was no internal organs left.
Whether it was fish intestines, fish livers or other things, they all disappeared.
Thinking about the holes on the fish's belly, Ye Li suddenly understood that it was obvious that they were all eaten by the Xuanbing earthworm.
And judging from the size of the holes on the fish's belly, they were not eaten by ordinary black ice earthworms, but should have been eaten by the ancestor black ice earthworm.
Because the diameter of these holes is very large, the black ice earthworms that drilled into them must have been much larger than the ordinary black ice earthworms that Ye Li had encountered before. It seems that only the original black ice earthworm can have such a huge size.
A divine light flashed in Ye Li's eyes, and he understood that this Ancestral Black Ice Earthworm must have an extreme preference for fish viscera, and might not like fish meat that much.
As for why we should eat the meat of small fish, it is because the internal organs of small fish are too few, and it is not very convenient to take them out and eat, so we just swallow them whole and spit out the bones.
He once read a sentence in the introduction about the Xuanbing earthworm, which said that the Xuanbing earthworm prefers extremely fishy food, which means that the Xuanbing earthworm does not just like to eat fish viscera. It is possible that the Xuanbing earthworms that do not live on the island do not eat fish, but eat the viscera of other animals.
Of course, the Xuanbing earthworms do not need to rely on food to sustain their lives. Eating is just their hobby, or in fact, it is just the hobby of the ancestor Xuanbing earthworm, because only it is qualified to enjoy these "delicious meals".
Seeing this, Ye Li couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He retreated back to the cave hall and began to observe the pool.
The reason why the black ice earthworm can eat fish here is naturally because of the pool of sea water in front of it.
These sea fish must have drilled in from the part below the pool that is connected to the sea water. Only in this way can the Ancestral Black Ice Earthworm catch the fish to eat.
Ye Li estimated that the reason why this underground fish pond could be connected to the sea water must be related to the ancestor Xuanbing Earth Earthworm. It was very likely that it dug through the land itself.
Ye Li glanced at the pool of water, then thought about the various corpses he had just seen, and his eyes rolled around.
"Ye Li, what did you think of?"
Qing Zhou asked Ye Li with some curiosity.
Ye Li said: "It's such a small fish pond, and I don't know how long it will take to attract a fish to swim in. Small fish are not tasty enough, and the number of big fish is even rarer.
Look at the fish corpses in the cave. The big fish have been there for seven or eight days, but new ones are still coming in. This is enough to show that it will take a long time for the Ancestral Black Ice Earthworm here to eat the internal organs of a big fish.
Well...if I help it get a bunch of fresh fish entrails, or the entrails of fish monsters, I wonder if I can lure it out.
The viscera of fish monsters must have a stronger smell, and they also carry spiritual energy, which must be more attractive to Xuanbing Earthworms!"
Hearing Ye Li's words, Qing Zhou nodded and said, "I think so too, why don't you go and give it a try!"
Ye Li said: "Well, it seems that this is the only way to try now. After all, it is really impossible for me to flatten the entire island."
After saying that, Ye Li looked around and then walked out of the cave decisively.
Soon, Ye Li returned to the outside of the cave along the original route, and Wang Xu and others who were waiting outside hurriedly surrounded him.
"Elder Ye, have you dealt with the monster inside?"
They were still full of confidence in Ye Li. After all, with Ye Li's cultivation level at the semi-saint realm, except for a few masters of the same level who could fight him, other talisman masters or monsters would not be his opponents.
Ye Li shook his head and said, "When those monsters saw me go in alone, they all hid underground. I didn't see them at all, so I couldn't do anything."
Hearing Ye Li's words, Wang Xu was stunned for a moment, then he said: "Elder, what should we do? Do you want us to go in and lure those monsters out!?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Li glanced at Wang Xu and said, "You are willing to take the risk, but letting you in won't do much.
Those black ice earthworms know how powerful I am. You can never reach the deepest part of the cave. As soon as I make a move, they will hide. So I still have no way to kill the original black ice earthworm hiding in the deepest part of the cave.
If you can't kill the original Black Ice Earthworm, there will be no way to kill all the Black Ice Earthworms. If you come a few more times, they won't come out anymore.
So I have come up with a different way to try to lure out the original Mysterious Ice Earthworm."
Hearing Ye Li's words, Wang Xu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
His plan did have some problems, but he also didn't understand what method Ye Li would use to enable him to successfully lure out the Ancestral Black Ice Earthworm.
Ye Li did not tell Wang Xu and the others clearly. He just told them to wait on the side and flew towards the sea outside the island.
Xiaoqing still stayed with Wang Xu and others, and this time Ye Li left the island alone.
He flew to the sea surface and turned into a stream of light and instantly plunged into the sea water. After entering the sea water, Ye Li began to search in the ocean directly. It didn't take long for him to see a low-level monster.
This low-level fish monster didn't look special and its aggressiveness was very weak. When Ye Li approached, it tried to control the water spirit to attack Ye Li.
Ye Li ignored its attack and rushed directly in front of it. With a casual wave of his hand, he knocked it unconscious in the sea.
This fish monster is not very big, slightly smaller than Ye Li's body.
After Ye Li caught the fish monster, he held it and swam in the sea.
He swam along the waters around the island and soon reached a place close to the area where the pool was previously located.
Under the sea water nearby, Ye Li began to search inch by inch along the rock wall. It didn't take long before he found a big hole.
After looking around the big hole, Ye Li soon discovered that there were many scratches on the edge of the cave. It looked like the cave was dug by something, and there were signs of damage on the soil and rocks.
Ye Li's mind suddenly moved, and he realized that this cave should be the hole dug by the ancestor Xuanbing Earth Earthworm, which could bring seawater into the cave to form a pool of water.
Many fish accidentally entered it and eventually became the delicious meal of the ancestor black ice earthworm.
Ye Li glanced at the fish monster in front of him, and a golden light flashed on his fingers.
He casually scratched the fish monster's belly, and a golden light flashed. A cut was immediately made on the fish's belly, and a stream of blood mixed with an extremely fishy smell gushed out of the cut and spread in all directions. (To be continued)
