Chapter 305: I Want to Learn to Fish
Chapter 305 – I Want to Learn Fishing
Lu Xuan waited patiently.
With the great temptation in front of it, that First Grade Sea Fish didn’t completely lose its mind, but instead looked around while continuously testing the demonic beast meat on the bait.
After a while, after confirming that there was no danger, it opened its huge mouth full of sharp teeth and swallowed it in one go, fleeing far away.
“Hooked and still want to run?”
Lu Xuan’s eyes lit up as he grabbed the copper-bone bamboo fishing rod, his spiritual energy controlling the hook, tightly hooking onto the sea fish’s body, and forcefully flinging it back.
A three-foot long sea fish was brought out from the bottom of the sea and landed on the wooden building, its deep black tail slapping continuously, and the two rows of sharp teeth above and below its mouth biting indiscriminately.
Lu Xuan looked at this living and breathing sea fish, his heart was quite satisfied.
The moment the sea fish took the bait, the sense of accomplishment in his heart reached a peak all of a sudden, second only to the Light Cluster Reward that was opened from a mature, high-grade Spirit Plant.
When the spiritual sense perceived the existence of the sea fish, it was possible to try to directly control the fish hook to hook it, only that the underwater dark currents were surging, weakening the control of the fish line and fish hook by a lot.
What’s more, in this way, the thrill of fishing was lost.
He firmly grasped the First Grade Sea Fish with one hand and came to a huge pool dug out by Shi Zhong.
The pool was more than ten feet long and wide, with various runes drawn on the stone walls in front and behind, while on top of it, there was an aura shield covering the entire water surface to prevent the sea fish and sea beasts inside from escaping.
At this time, there were already four first-grade sea fish inside the pool, all of which were caught by Shi Zhong, and it could be seen that he did have rich experience in fishing for sea fish.
Shi Zhong raised his eyebrows when he saw the sea fish carried in Lu Xuan’s hand.
“Fellow Daoist Lu has good skills, catching a sea fish in a short period of time.”
“There are many undercurrents under the sea, and these sea fish are all incredibly cunning, it’s hard to hook them directly with a fishhook, you can only wait quietly for them to take the bait.”
“If you don’t have any experience, it’s not uncommon that you can’t catch a sea fish or a sea beast for a long time.”
Shi Zhong smiled haughtily.
“Fellow Daoist Shi is flattering, I’m still far from you.”
Lu Xuan casually dealt with the sentence and continued to the wooden building.
The moment that sea fish bit the bait, he was informed of the sea fish’s details.
As such, he was confident in figuring out the most suitable bait for various types of sea fish, as well as their various habits.
This time, he changed the bait and took out a black ring-shaped demonic worm from the white jade box, carefully hooked it with a fish hook and threw it into the deep sea.
Soon after, the fish line trembled slightly, Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Sense probed into the water, and a streamlined sea fish with its back covered in slender bone spines was hovering around the demonic worm continuously.
A thought flashed through his mind as his mind coalesced.
[Multi-Bone Arrowfish, Second Grade Demonic Beast, extremely fast in the water, when it encounters danger, the bone spikes on its back can be shot out like sharp arrows, and its attack power is equivalent to that of an ordinary Second Grade magic weapon].
[Prefers to eat all kinds of fresh demonic insects in a moving state, the stronger the life force of the demonic insects, the fresher they are, and the faster they move, the more attractive they are to the Multi-Bone Arrowfish.]]
“Any more experience you have, it can’t beat me with the plug-in in hand.”
Lu Xuan secretly sighed in his heart, and then transmitted his voice to Shi Zhong who was tens of feet away.
“Fellow Daoist Shi, my Spiritual Sense perceived a special Spirit Fish at the bottom of the sea biting the Demon Insect Fish Bait that I put down.”
“Special spirit fish? Demon Insect Fish Bait?”
Shi Zhong captured the two keywords in Lu Xuan’s words.
“But a sea fish with bone spines all over its body and an overall streamlined shape?”
There was a trifle of excitement in his tone.
“It’s almost exactly what you described, fellow Daoist Shi.”
Lu Xuan’s spiritual energy penetrated down the fish line, controlling the ring-shaped demonic insect on the hook to swim around in the water.
“That’s a second grade sea fish Multi-Bone Arrowfish, extremely fast and extremely difficult to catch, Fellow Daoist Lu you be careful and steady, I’ll come over to help you.”
Shi Zhong handed over the precious fishing rod crafted from the third grade spirit wood in his hand to a high level Qi Practitioner cultivator, and couldn’t wait to rush over. At the bottom of the sea, the speed of the demonic worm moving steeply increased, and the multi-boned swordfish that had been pressing for a long time could not resist the temptation to bite the demonic worm.
There was a sharp pain in his mouth, and a slight spiritual power seeped into his body, and then, a huge force came and pulled it up instantly.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, give me the fishing rod.”
Shi Zhong tiptoed behind Lu Xuan and transmitted his voice.
He watched Lu Xuan lift the Copper Bone Bamboo Fishing Rod with force, and a heart was in his throat.
There was a snap.
A sea fish covered in sharp bone spines fell wetly in front of him.
“You …… caught it here?”
Shi Zhong looked at Lu Xuan with a surprised expression.
“I sensed that this multi-boned swordfish was hooked, and for fear of delaying the moment, I took it upon myself to pull it, and I didn’t expect to actually catch it.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
“Fellow Daoist Lu is really lucky.”
“Fishing for this kind of Multi-Bone Arrowfish has to be baited with Demon Worms, other baits don’t have any attraction to them, and the bait has to be in a moving state, or else they’ll think it’s just a dead thing.”
A black rope flew out of Shi Zhong’s sleeve, instantly binding the Multi-Bone Arrowfish that had lost most of its means on land, handing it over to a high level Qi Practicing Cultivator and bringing it back to the pool.
“So that’s how it is, Mister Lu has been taught.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile.
Being able to figure out the type of bait that this Second Grade Multi-Bone Arrowfish loved, and at the same time understanding its habit of loving to move the bait, it could be seen that Shi Zhong really did have a lot of experience.
However, this experience was a bit inadequate in front of Lu Xuan’s plug-in.
When Shi Zhong left, the Moonlight Pearl quietly appeared in Lu Xuan’s sleeve.
The silver-white moonlight radiance spilled down from the sleeve, landing on the several demonic insects in the jade box.
Under the strong daylight, coupled with Lu Xuan’s intent to cover them up, the demonic insects in the jade box quickly recovered their state, becoming vivid in just ten or so breaths.
These few worms, which were originally only half-dead in the jade box, were even more moribund after being hung by the fish hooks, and their allure for the Multi-bone Arrowfish dropped by a large portion.
Now, Lu Xuan used the Moonflower Pearl to restore their vitality to normal, and then used it to fish for the Multi-bone Arrowfish in the sea.
After being hung up by the fish hook, under the pain, the Demon Insect bounced hard in the water, manifesting its exuberant vitality.
The freshness was more than ten times that of the last demonic worm, and in a short while, several Multi-bone Arrowfish were attracted to it.
Lu Xuan seized the fleeting opportunity, and while the multi-bone arrowfish were biting the demon worm, he threw the copper-bone bamboo fishing rod with great force.
“Second one.”
In the distance, Shi Zhong noticed the movement on Lu Xuan’s side and secretly counted in his mind.
Seeing the second-grade Multi-Bone Swordfish that Lu Xuan was carrying, the first-grade sea fish that he had just caught in his hand became irrelevant all of a sudden.
“The third one! How could it be that fast?!”
Shi Zhong was in the process of baiting his hook when he sensed Lu Xuan catching up another Multi-Bone Arrowfish, and the hook in his hand trembled slightly, almost hooking his palm.
“Another one!!! Is the Multi-Bone Swordfish so worthless?!!!”
As soon as the fishing rod was flung into the sea, before it could sit and warm up, he realized that Lu Xuan had caught another second grade Multi-Bone Arrowfish, which made him completely unable to calm down.
Instantly flying to the wooden building where Lu Xuan was, he took a deep breath and respectfully saluted:
“Fellow Daoist Lu, I want to learn how to fish!!!”
