Chapter 464 Great Horned Thunderfish
Chapter 464 Great Horned Thunderfish
Time quickly came to the next morning.
Ye Kang remained calm and cast his line again.
Since catching his first fish weighing tens of thousands of kilograms, he hasn't caught any fish, but he remains calm and composed, showing no signs of anxiety.
Helian Yingjie mocked, "Brother, some people haven't made a sale yet. It seems that once their luck runs out, they'll show their true colors."
Helian Yingxiong sneered, "Sitting here without moving is a waste of my fishing rod."
In each of their fish buckets, there was more than one fish weighing tens of thousands of kilograms.
Tian'ao Island is located in the open sea, with bays that can be over 3,000 meters deep, where giant creatures roam freely.
These martial artists were all prepared, and as long as they used special bait to lure them, they managed to get their hands on several giant creatures.
Faced with the mockery, Ye Kang simply smiled calmly, without offering any rebuttal.
Yao Jingting couldn't help but ask, "You two, are you here to fish or to cause trouble?"
"Miss Yao, please don't say that. Although it appears to be fishing, it is actually a contest of strength. Some people are weaker and deserve to be ridiculed."
Helian Yingxiong was very confident. In terms of strength, having raised three pillars, he was among the top geniuses in the Divine Sea Realm.
In fact, not only him, but also others looked at Ye Kang with some disdain.
They initially thought he was really skilled, but after catching one fish, he went silent, relying on luck to steal the limelight, which inevitably made others unhappy.
Suddenly, a strange noise came from the east bank.
A fishing rod bent down and then burst forth with tremendous pulling force.
The anglers were already prepared, and with both hands working together, they began to reel in the fish.
Everyone around was astonished, because so far, all the giant fish weighing over 10,000 kilograms had been launched directly into the air, without needing the step of "playing" the fish.
Could it be that this is a colossal creature weighing 100,000 jin (50,000 kg)?
The referee's gaze also turned intense.
“Fellow Daoist Ling She, True Man Liu, it seems that the first 100,000-jin behemoth of the year is about to emerge from the water.”
Granny Ling She nodded in an old-fashioned manner.
“Master Li, the robe you promised will probably be sent out soon.”
Master Li Zhenren of Huangye Island smiled slightly: "That's very good. That young man is indeed the genius of Huangye Island, named Jiang Chong. Although he is only nineteen years old, he has already raised the second pillar. I am very pleased that he caught the first 100,000-jin giant fish."
Upon hearing this, everyone's attention was involuntarily drawn.
I want to see if that genius can succeed.
Jiang Chong exerted force with his hands and feet, and his true energy swirled around the fishing rod in a wondrous way, ensuring the fishing rod wouldn't break while maintaining its tension.
Carrying a massive object weighing 100,000 jin (50,000 kg) is an extremely difficult challenge.
Even the best fishing rod can be pulled into the water if not handled properly.
After playing with the fish for a while, he suddenly exerted his strength, and his true energy exploded, even shattering the stones under his feet.
The large fish below seemed to sense the threat as well, frantically twisting its body in an attempt to break the fishing rod and line.
At this moment, the angler's skill level becomes irrelevant; what matters is whether the fishing line can withstand this immense force.
Fortunately, after a brief struggle, the big fish gradually calmed down. Jiang Chong seized the opportunity and executed an over-the-shoulder throw, catching the giant black shadow off guard and instantly pulling it out of the water.
It was a giant lionfish!
"Wow! That's awesome!"
"That's amazing! This must weigh over 100,000 jin!"
"Luckily it was a lionfish, which has the least pulling force. If it had been a shark, the fishing line would have snapped long ago."
"No wonder he came from Huangye Island, he's got some skills."
Yao Jingting clapped her hands and said, "My senior brother did a good job. Could it be that he took Master's robe?"
It turns out that Yao Jingting and Jiang Chong were both disciples of Master Li.
Ye Kang silently kept it in mind.
At the same time, the judges flew over and each used their secret methods to weigh the giant fish.
Immediately, they frowned.
"It seems a little short."
Zhong Xuan, with his extensive experience, immediately sighed and said, "Ninety-nine thousand one hundred catties, just nine hundred catties short."
"what!"
Everyone was stunned.
The other sect leaders and cultivators then nodded in agreement, which was tantamount to agreeing to the weight.
Zhong Xuan Zhenren comforted him, saying, "Jiang Chong, you're only 900 jin short. You've already proven your strength."
Jiang Chong shook his head: "Senior, there's no need to say more. If you haven't reached it, you haven't reached it. Next time, I will exceed 100,000 jin."
"it is good!"
Many people exclaimed in admiration, saying that he truly deserves to be called a genius boy, for he has such ambition.
Many others secretly felt sorry for him.
"What a pity, it was just a little short..."
"I never expected to collapse on the 900-pound weight. I was so close to getting that priceless robe."
"Hmph, it's more like this is an opportunity for us. I still have my robes, and I might just be the first to fish up this giant!"
Immediately, all the contestants were filled with high spirits.
Just then, Ye Kang opened his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"it's time."
He retrieved the fishing hook, rebaited it with fresh mutton, which had a very strong flavor. The moment he finished baiting it, Ye Kang rubbed some soap powder on it.
He wasn't in a hurry; he was waiting for his prey.
What's the point of fishing for tens of thousands of pounds of small fish? If it's less than 100,000 pounds, there's no need to use a powerful weapon like soap.
Now, his powerful divine sense has allowed him to discover his new friend in the deep sea before all the other contestants.
It was a giant fish with sharp horns on its head, like bull horns, a broad and sturdy body, covered with lightning patterns, and fangs that looked like those of a demon.
Ye Kang happened to know a sea monster, the Great Horned Thunderfish.
Judging by its size, it's definitely larger than that 90,000-pound lionfish.
This was the prey Ye Kang had been waiting for all night.
Although he didn't swim towards me, it's okay, Soap will take care of it.
Ye Kang cast his line, and the hook fell into the water with a thud.
The soap powder immediately took effect, its fragrance mingling with the stench of boiled corn in cow dung, spreading continuously.
Because of the presence of cow dung when cooking corn, the aroma created by the tiny bit of powder is completely undetectable to others.
Most importantly, everyone avoids it like the plague, so who would have such a heavy taste as to deliberately go and smell it?
But for marine mammals, the stimulation of this taste is far greater than that of rows and rows of various baits.
The Great Horned Pomfret has blood-red eyes and its two horns emit crackling electricity, slicing a row of small fish around it into charred remains.
This means it is currently in a state of extreme excitement.
It seemed as if something was attracting it.
That taste... I really want to eat it...
At this moment, the Great Horned Thunderfish slowly rose to the surface, its aura of a sea beast making no attempt to conceal itself as it soared into the sky.
Everyone was shocked.
A gigantic creature has appeared!
Cast your line now!
In an instant, dozens of fishing hooks were simultaneously flung into the distance, and everyone stood up, their spirits rising higher and higher.
"Here it comes! It's a big truck!"
