Chapter 1078: Cherish Learning Poem

Fishing in the sea of ​​learning is similar to ordinary fishing, but also very different.

Fang Yun held the dragon scale fishing rod and looked ahead carefully. Soon, a three-and-a-half-foot-long Wenxin fish appeared in front of him, and the dragon boat was sailing very fast, so it would soon hit it.

Fang Yun's eyes focused, he held the fishing rod tightly, and threw it forward suddenly. He saw the white fishing line flying out at a very fast speed and continued to extend. Nine shiny fish hooks flashed with cold light, drew a beautiful arc, and fell into the water.

Nine fish hooks arrived near the Wenxin fish, and each fish hook was one foot apart. As long as any fish hook could hook the Wenxin fish, it would leave a wound on the Wenxin fish and slow down the Wenxin fish. However, in order to really catch the Wenxin fish, the fish hook must be hooked to the mouth of the Wenxin fish.

This was Fang Yun's first time learning to fish in the sea. He had no idea about the speed of the boat, the speed of the wenxin fish, the depth of the sea surface water resistance, and the speed of the fishing rod. Even with nine hooks, he did not touch the wenxin fish. The closest hook was two feet away from the wenxin fish.

Fang Yun pulled it up suddenly, and the fishing line shortened rapidly. It returned to its original state in a breath, and the exposed fishing line was less than ten feet long.

At this time, the fish was frightened and turned back, and the dragon boat was still sailing at high speed, which changed the position of the wenxin fish to the right side of the dragon boat.

Fang Yun stood on the dragon head and turned quickly, swinging the fishing rod with all his strength again.

The fishing line flew out at an incredible speed and continued to extend. When the hook fell into the water, the fishing line was already twenty feet long.

The second time he cast the rod, it still failed.

Fang Yun quickly retracted it, and then cast it again. The third time, the flying fishing line and hook flew in the air for a long time before reaching the water surface. In the end, the hook was a full ten feet away from the wenxin fish.

Fang Yun estimated that the fishing line was already a hundred feet long!

At this distance, no one could control it accurately.

Fang Yun retracted the hook, closed his eyes, and kept thinking about the three times of fishing in his mind, remembering every detail and summarizing some rules. Then, Fang Yun began to do two things at once, observing the sea while recalling the fishing and fishing books he had read before entering Xuehai.

Fang Yun failed to cast the rod three times. Not only were the people in his fleet not disappointed, but they were shocked by the length of Fang Yun's fishing line, because even the fishing line of the owner of a four-story ship was only fifty feet long, which was completely surpassed by Fang Yun.

The owners of Zong Lei's fleet in the distance breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this scene.

"Haha! Uncle Cheng Bing is right. Xuehai requires too many skills. Being good at poetry is just one of the advantages! We, the disciples of the Saint Family, have entered the literary world of the saints since childhood. We imitate Xuehai to create a new world. Let us learn Xuehai fishing. We have to learn for at least ten years to barely pass. Even we find it difficult to adapt to the new fishing rod, let alone him!" Zong Shibing laughed.

"With this level, even if he goes to Haixin, he will return empty-handed. If he encounters Shanshan Wenxin, he will definitely miss it!"

"I feel more and more that it is a mistake to compete with him. If we lose, our Wenxin fish will belong to him. If we win, we will get nothing!"

The Zong and Lei families were full of tongues, constantly mocking and ridiculing.

But Fang Yun turned a deaf ear and was not affected by them at all.

After studying for a period of time, Fang Yun began to practice empty swings, imagining that Wenxin fish suddenly appeared somewhere, and then swinging the rod to fish.

As time passed, Fang Yun seemed to have completely forgotten everything in the outside world, constantly casting the rod and fishing, practicing fishing skills. If he encountered a Wenxin fish on the way, he would still go fishing, but because the dragon boat was sailing at high speed, it would move away after three missed attempts, resulting in Fang Yun not catching a single Wenxin fish.

Not only Fang Yun, but all boat owners who sailed at high speed could not catch a Wenxin fish.

After a full hour, everyone saw that the darker sea water appeared in the distance, which was extremely eye-catching in contrast to the seaside area, leaving a clear color difference line.

"I can see the outer sea!"

"The wind and waves there are so strong, and there are many three-foot high waves."

"Look, there are obviously many more Wenxin fish here, and you can see two or three at a glance!"

"Let's fish here!"

Many people were excited, especially the owners of bamboo rafts, canoes or small boats, who were the most sober, because they knew that they could only fish at the edge of the outer sea and could not go deep. The stronger the wind and waves were, the easier it would be for their small boats to be washed away and overturned.

The water in Xuehai is not ordinary sea water. Once you enter the water, you will fail and be sent back to the seaside.

An invisible force descended, and all the ships began to slow down, and then the previous voice sounded again.

"Now you can create the second poem, and strengthen the poem boat according to the content of the poem. This second round requires writing the poem of "cherishing learning."

As soon as the voice fell, many people fell into deep thought.

Some ship owners did not keep up with the two fleets and did not complete one-tenth of the coastal area, but they were the most excited. If the next poem can be written well and the poem boat is strengthened, it is very likely to enter the open sea and transfer more Wenxin fish.

"Hahaha..."

Fang Yun was thinking, and suddenly heard Lei Longkuo laughing.

"Take a good look at my uncle Lei Mo's building ship!"

Fang Yun, like everyone else, turned his head and saw that the appearance of Lei Mo's building ship had changed, the three sails became larger, and the oars on both sides became more.

"Before entering the sea of ​​learning, I was lucky enough to get a good poem of 'cherishing learning'. I officially wrote it in the sea of ​​learning, but I never thought that the building ship would change so much." Lei Mo stroked his beard with a smile on his face, but he didn't show too much joy.

Lei Longkuo hurriedly asked: "Uncle, can you show me the new changes?"

"Then let's try."

After Lei Mo finished speaking, his three-story building ship shook heavily, and suddenly accelerated like an arrow from a string, sprinting at a speed five times faster than Fang Yunlong's ship, leaving rolling waves behind, and charging for a full twenty breaths before stopping.

Everyone was shocked. Everyone knew that after writing the second round of poems, the boat would change, but it was rare for a boat to change so much.

This ability to accelerate in a short time is not only suitable for long-distance travel, but also has a huge effect when chasing Wenxin fish. As long as the speed is fast, you can always get close to Wenxin fish, which means more times of casting the rod and greatly increase the chance of catching Wenxin fish.

More importantly, if you encounter big waves or typhoons in the deep sea, you can quickly avoid or rush through them. This function alone is enough to make up for the speed gap with the dragon boat.

"Uncle, how long can this sudden acceleration be used?"

"About two hundred breaths."

"Congratulations, uncle! We have won this Xuehai race!"

Everyone in the Zong Lei fleet cheered loudly.

There was silence in the Fang Yun fleet. Lei Mo's new ship was too powerful. Although it was not as good as the dragon boat in appearance, it had completely surpassed it in other aspects.
