God of Fishing

Chapter 197 - Departure



Chapter 197 Departure

It was a pleasant surprise. They had fished among the coral reefs for a week but met no Moon-Watching Eels until just now.

The eel was quite huge. Its head was more than a meter long, and its body was thicker than Le Renkuang’s thigh. When it inhaled water, the water rippled, and a wave dashed into the Moon-Watching Eel’s mouth in the next second.

“Up!”

Han Fei shouted, “Xiaobai, help me tie it up!”

Before anybody realized what was going on, a gigantic fish almost seven meters long had been pulled to the surface by Han Fei.

Zhang Xuanyu said in shock, “A Moon-Watching Eel?”

Dozens of vines dashed to the Moon-Watching Eel and they tied it up, but in the next second, all the vines were withering.

Luo Xiaobai was not scared. When the first batch of vines was broken, a second batch replaced it. In the meantime, paralyzing poison leaked from the vines too, turning the Moon-Watching Eel into a source of poisons.

Zhang Xuanyu shouted, “Cut its head! We’ll ignore its meat, but there’s an invaluable pearl in its head that can help with the practice of Pupil Spells.”

Han Fei was not interested in this pearl but in the spiritual fruit because he was intimidated by poison, which could hurt him despite his body’s sturdiness, like how Xia Xiaochan was paralyzed by Su Yebai earlier.

However, Han Fei still listened to Zhang Xuanyu as he lashed out with his two daggers, one at its neck and the other at its head.

In the blink of an eye, the Moon-Watching Eel was executed, and the yellow pearl that dropped was picked up and delivered back by the vines.

Splash!

The body of the Moon-Watching Eel sank into the ocean. Han Fei said, “I’ll go down and pick the Moon Spirit Fruit.”

Han Fei leaped into the ocean, and dozens of daggers appeared around him, mincing the fish that surrounded him.

Han Fei’s destination was the cave of the Moon-Watching Eel. Such creatures did not live in groups, and there wouldn’t be other things in their cave.

“Little Black, get the fruit out for me.”

A few minutes later…

Han Fei broke out of the water, with a bright yellow fruit the size of a fist in his hand.

Xia Xiaochan asked, “There’s only one?”

Han Fei was amused. “Maybe every Moon-Watching Eel only has one fruit.”

Han Fei waved his blade quickly and cut the fruit into five pieces.

“Let’s split it evenly! It’s not the best stuff, but it can help you resist the experts who are good with poisons.”

Everybody simply accepted their part of the fruit and ate it.

Luo Xiaobai gave the pearl from the eel to Han Fei, but it was not of any use to Han Fei. He asked casually, “Do any of you need to practice Pupil Spells? I don’t need this.”

Le Renkuang asked, “Huh? Don’t spirit gatherers all practice Pupil Spells?”.

Han Fei said, “I’ve already grasped it. Also, I don’t fight with my eyes. This is useless for me.”

Everybody else shook their heads too. Nobody here practiced Pupil Spells.

Luo Xiaobai suggested, “You can sell it in the Linglong Tower or exchange it for something you need. Just keep it!”

It was not a treasure for them, but for those in need, especially for those who needed to practice Pupil Spells, the pearl was extremely valuable.

For Han Fei, it was just a minor treasure. While he was fishing, he also looked for unusual creatures along the way. There were already three big shots in the Demon Purification Pot, and he intended to find out, hoping that he could melt them into something that was even more powerful than the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp.

Another half month passed quickly.

Han Fei did encounter some unusual creatures, and he asked everybody else to capture them with him, but all of them escaped by digging holes.

During the half month, they fished exploring almost every part of the level-two fishery. Han Fei fed almost all of the rare fish that he caught to Little Black and the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp.

They came across many people in the fishery. Some of the strangers knew them, and some intended to rob them, but after discovering that there were five people on the boat, the robbers dropped the idea.

There was a three-person group who did try to rob Han Fei’s team seeing how young they were. However, before Han Fei took action, the rest of the team had crushed the robbers in the blink of an eye with their contractual spiritual beasts. If Luo Xiaobai hadn’t stopped her teammates, the robbers would’ve ended up in their fish’s stomach.

It had been almost a month since Han Fei’s team came to the level-two fishery, but Le Renkuang and Luo Xiaobai still hadn’t grasped spiritual vision. It seemed that not everybody was talented with such an ability.

There was no telling why Xia Xiaochan succeeded, but Zhang Xuanyu learned the ability because of his magnificent spiritual power and Bloodthirsty Shark that he awakened.

Zhang Xuanyu asked, “Well, I’ve got a basic understanding of the level-two fishery in the Blue Sea Town. I’ve marked 38 dangerous places in the past month, and 21 of them have been explored. The other 17 are slightly more dangerous. Are we going to explore them or not?”

Le Renkuang said, “Let’s go. I don’t want to fish anymore, not without bait. I can only slightly shake my hook with my spiritual power at this moment, and I can’t see anything.”

Han Fei said, “No objection here. However, can we narrow down our vision? Seventeen places would take a lot of time.”

Zhang Xuanyu said with a smile, “I knew you would say that. Of those seventeen places, thirteen are less dangerous, but all the people who explored the other four places are dead.”

Xia Xiaochan asked, “What are these places?”

Looking at his notebook, Zhang Xuanyu introduced them, “The Piercing Electricity Zone, famous for the Piercing Electricity Jellyfish there. The Stone Forest, which is said to be occupied by Stone Spirit Crabs which live in stones and store spiritual energy in their nests. So, the stones there are perfect weapon materials, but few people have ever really excavated them.”

Browsing through his notebook, Zhang Xuanyu continued, “The other two places are more famous. One of them is the Deep-Sea Jungle, which is covered by trees that can tie you up while you’re diving. It’s said that nobody ever survived them. The other place is the Fiery Mountain. According to the records, no great fishing masters have ever returned from there alive.”

Han Fei was shocked. “Fiery Mountain?”

Luo Xiaobai said, “It’s a congregation of fiery corals. They’re very weird.”

Han Fei was greatly relieved to know that it was corals. He was wondering why there was a mountain in the ocean.

Xia Xiaochan asked, “So, which of the four places is the least dangerous?”

Zhang Xuanyu closed his notebook. “The Piercing Electricity Zone. Our odds of survival are highest there.”

Le Renkuang said, “Don’t mistake us for great fishing masters! Do you think we’re really capable of that? If not, I think we can just go to the thirteen less dangerous places!”

Zhang Xuanyu said, “I think we can try the Piercing Electricity Zone.”

Han Fei agreed with him. “Let’s go to the Piercing Electricity Zone. Only dangerous places have treasures. The places frequented by other people have nothing but leftovers. We must go to places that other people dare not go to.”

Xia Xiaochan chuckled and said, “Han Fei, you’ve forgotten your fair share of pain haven’t you?”

Le Renkuang rolled his eyes quickly. “I still think we should go to the other thirteen places.”

Zhang Xuanyu snorted. “Those places are boring. They’ve been visited by other people. Although there might be spiritual fruits left, those fruits won’t be very effective for us now.”

Luo Xiaobai shook her head. “Spiritual fruits are still important. If we have a spiritual fruit when we make a breakthrough, the odds of success will be increased by at least twenty percent.”

Han Fei thought of a solution. “Show of hands. Whoever thinks we should explore the Piercing Electricity Zone, raise your hand.”

“Shua… Shua… Shua…”

Everybody except Luo Xiaobai and Le Renkuang raised their hand.

Han Fei said with a smile, “Three to two. The motion is passed. We should gladly face challenges on our path of cultivation. If we’re intimidated by a level-two fishery, wouldn’t we be too scared to move in a level-three fishery?”

Han Fei and Zhang Xuanyu had a high-five, and Le Renkuang rolled his eyes at them, wondering if they had forgotten what happened in the Fire Cloud Cave.

Xia Xiaochan declared proudly, “Even ordinary fishers go out on the ocean fearlessly every day. Why should we be scared? Let’s go!”

Zhang Xuanyu’s face lit up. “Let’s go!”

Han Fei nodded. “Let’s go!”
