Dragon Clan: Undercover at the beginning, the road to becoming a god

"Fishing...it's indeed a good idea."

Xia Mi nodded and looked at Su Mo with doubt.

"But are you sure you can catch it? Otherwise, I'd better go for it!"

“How can a fisherman say he’s not good at it, and by the way, you can also fish?”

Su Mo looked at the girl in confusion, but he didn't see that she had any potential as a fisherman?

"I don't know how to fish."

Xia Mi shook his head.

"But if I jump in and catch fish, I'm fine with that."

As the Dragon King, she only needs to jump into the river with a steel fork and swim around. She can probably stab a lot of big fish like a spear, not to mention the ability to use the spirit of speech.

"What's the difference between doing this and electrofishing?"

Su Mo immediately shook his head.

"Although there is no fishing ban protection now, the fish you catch like this has no soul."

This is the persistence of being a fisherman.

"What do I need its soul for? I just need the body of the fish."

Xia Mi blinked, puzzled by the fisherman's inexplicable persistence.

"What are you saying about a scumbag... Don't worry, I, a professional fisherman, may give you the air force? The two of us can't eat much. Believe me, I can do it alone!"

——Air force is a saying among fishermen, which means that if no fish is caught, the fish guard is empty.

In order to defend the dignity of the fisherman, Su Mo pushed Xia Mi back and asked her to continue investigating the villa.

He carried the fishing gear and confidently walked towards the angler's battlefield.

Although I don't understand what Su Mo is insisting on.

But Xia Mi thought that even if he couldn't catch one, it wouldn't be long before he went into the water to catch a few, so he didn't stop him.

Su Mo, who was holding the fishing gear, quickly found a sheltered bay after analyzing the sunlight, water conditions, air pressure, and wind direction. Based on his experience as a LV3 professional fisherman, there was definitely a big fish hiding here.

Full of confidence, he plans to use his superb fishing skills to let Xia Mi know what technology is.

Making nests, rubbing bait, adjusting drift, and throwing rods—a set of actions can be done in one go.

All you have to do next is wait for the big fish to take the bait.

Waiting, waiting, half an hour passed, but there was no movement at all, and the fish did not speak at all.

Just when he thought that he would really embarrass the Air Force this time, he was thinking about whether to pick up a handful of wild celery by the river to avoid embarrassment.

Piao finally moved.

Su Mo concentrated on it and waited for the right moment to suddenly lift up a black catfish.

Catfish, also known as river catfish, is a freshwater fish with relatively delicious meat and few fish bones. This one weighs at least two or three pounds.

Su Mo took off the fishhook and touched the fish belly.

"Is this still the spawning period?"

In order to avoid fishing in the dry swamp, fishermen usually release these fish after catching them, and Su Mo is no exception. However, he did not throw them out directly. Instead, he put in fish to protect the fish and then put them back together at the end.

A fish guard is a long net bag with eyes, the lower end of which is immersed in water, and is mainly used to store fish.

If fishermen catch fish and put it on the shore, the fish will die soon and taste stale. Carrying bottled water with them is too bulky, so they simply use this kind of net bag to keep the caught fish in it. , in fact, it is an improved fish basket.

The fish will not die if it is not out of the water, and it will stay fresh until you pick it up when you get home.

Su Mo was not worried about the air force. Fishing was like this. As long as one fish bit the hook, other fish would bite the hook one after another.

His guess was not wrong.

Obviously there had been no movement for the past half hour, but since a fish bit the hook, the fish situation has gradually become more intensive.

After a while, I caught a dozen fish, including carp and silver carp, totaling more than ten kilograms.

There are even two double flies - which means that the main and auxiliary hooks catch fish at the same time.

Although the bottom got stuck a few times, the fish was caught a few times, and a few hooks were damaged, the employer said that these props could be used as he pleased, so he naturally didn't feel bad.

after an hour.

After successfully catching the last catfish - the male did not need to be released, Su Mo planned to go back.

If you really want to eat, this one on hand is actually enough.

He stood up and lifted the fish guard, wanting to feel the heavy harvest feeling, and at the same time, he released most of the fish in the fish guard.

Fishermen release fishermen not to accumulate merit, but simply for sustainable development.

However--

"Uh-huh!"

The fish guard that should have been heavy was lifted up by Su Mo gently, and it was as light as if there was no fish inside.

There is indeed not a single fish in it.

For some reason, only the upper half of the fish guard was left. The half that sank under the water was bitten off by something, and naturally all the fish inside were gone.

Half the afternoon's efforts were almost completely wasted except for the fish on hand that had not had time to put in the fish guard.

Realizing this, the first thing Su Mo felt was not anger, but weirdness.

What kind of creature does it take to secretly bite off one's own fish guard under one's feet? The material of the nylon thread should be difficult for fish to bite through.

In addition, he quickly recalled the things he had done before.

Hanging to the bottom means that the fishhook has hooked on something like a stone at the bottom of the water and is stuck and cannot be pulled out. At this time, the only option is to give up the fishhook and directly cut off the secondary line.

If you are fishing in a pond or shallow pool, it is not surprising to see bottom hanging.

But this is the Yangtze River. Even in the Huiwan Bay, the water depth is at least ten meters. How could he get stuck at the bottom?

And if what my fishhook just caught was not a stone on the bottom of the river, what could it be?

Looking at the bottomless water, Su Mo's expression changed and he took half a step back.

Although it is not clear what happened under the water.

But one thing is clear, there must be a giant thing beneath the water.

It's a pity that this is the Yangtze River and water cannot be pumped. Otherwise, Su Mo will definitely let this unknown giant understand that other people's prey cannot move around.

After realizing that there was a problem under the water, he had no intention of investigating alone.

Who knows what is in here, whether it can come ashore and attack humans.

After packing up the fishing gear for a while, he immediately turned back and prepared to consult with Teacher Xia Mi.

It was already evening.

The color of the sun turned red. The moment Su Mo turned around and left, the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of a red-gold reflection. A creature like a carp or a long snake was posing in the afterglow of the setting sun.

When I looked back, it seemed like it was just an illusion under the waves.

Su Mo did not regard this as an illusion.

After carefully writing down what he saw, he walked towards the villa.

At the door of the villa, Xia Mi was wearing an apron and holding a spatula, preparing to go out to look for him.

"Did you catch it?"

As soon as he opens his mouth, the soul asks questions.

"Caught it."

Su Mo picked up the only catfish in his hand, and felt a little lucky that he had picked up the fish guard in advance. Otherwise, if it was really the Air Force, what he said later might be regarded as an excuse for being tough.
