"Brother Pei, please ask, I will tell you everything I know."

"Do you know where it came from, where it is going, how big it is, and what kind of miracles it has shown?"

Zhao Xing answered immediately: "It should be swimming from the west to the northeast. I didn't see the full picture, but its tail fin is more than three hundred meters long, and its fin spikes are twenty or thirty meters long."

"It opened its giant mouth and swallowed a radius of a thousand meters; it should have deployed the Dragon Whale's innate spell [Heaven-Swallowing Vortex]. The ice layer here was originally ten meters thick, but it can easily push it open."

Pei Yuanchang was quite regretful: "Someone under my command once discovered its traces, but only saw a blurry figure four hundred meters underwater, and thought it had left the southwest area of the Night Fortress, not thinking it was still lurking in the deep sea."

"Brother Zhao, do you know how strong this Dragon Whale is?"

Zhao Xing shook his head slightly: "I can't sense it. According to the book 'Deep Sea Behemoth Map', the strength of an adult Dragon Whale is between the fourth and fifth tiers, and a Dragon Whale that has lived for a long time can reach the fourth tier."

"However, the size of this one has exceeded the description in the 'Deep Sea Behemoth Map', so it must have fourth-tier strength."

Pei Yuanchang nodded. He did intend to hunt the whale, but he had to know the strength of the behemoth!

Now hearing these descriptions from Zhao Xing is enough to know many things, know what preparations to make, what kind of sea ship to use, and what kind of bait to use.

Pei Yuanchang didn't intend to continue asking, but he was also a keen observer. Seeing that there were only fish baskets in the Greenhouse and the other fishing gear boxes were missing, he had a flash of inspiration and said: "Brother, does the fishing gear you bought include a Seven-Star Hook?"

Zhao Xing saw him ask this and secretly thought that this Pei Yuanchang was really careful; he asked the key point as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Included."

Pei Yuanchang was happy: "Was your fishing gear swallowed by the Dragon Whale? Is the Positioning Compass still there?"

"It is, and I have confirmed that it was swallowed."

"However, I cannot hand over the Positioning Compass to Brother Pei."

Zhao Xing said it straightforwardly and openly.

It would be known sooner or later; rather than lying, if Pei Yuanchang found out later, it would be hard to avoid being looked down upon, so it's better to tell Pei Yuanchang directly: I have it, but I can't give it to you.

Zhao Xing's openness surprised Pei Yuanchang a bit.

He was stunned for a moment, then revealed a smile: "Good, Brother is open enough! You really told me everything you know."

Pei Yuanchang bowed and said: "I will contact your Master to discuss the great plan of hunting the whale. I hope Brother can say a few good words in front of your Master. I can prepare many things, saving your Master the time to mobilize sea ship materials."

Liu Tianning hasn't arrived at the Extreme Night Sea yet, and even if he did, he might not be fully prepared. If he turns around to mobilize equipment, materials, and manpower again.

The Dragon Whale might have run away long ago.

The Ling Shuang Prince started from the navy, and Pei Yuanchang is a good partner to cooperate with.

"Definitely." Zhao Xing bowed.

Next, Pei Yuanchang didn't ask any more questions, and didn't even look at the magical plants in the Greenhouse. If Zhao Xing was willing to say, there was no need to ask more.

If he wasn't willing to say, asking would be in vain.

He stayed for a while, then flew away quickly, obviously going to make preparations.

Zhao Xing didn't sit idle either, and immediately took out the Earth Mirror to report to Liu Tianning again.

His phantom appeared in the Ten Thousand Law Palace.

Originally, Liu Tianning should have set off, but after Zhao Xing reported the Dragon Whale matter, Liu Tianning began to prepare, so his main body is still in the Ten Thousand Law Palace.

"Master, Pei Yuanchang really came to find me and noticed that I left a hook in the Dragon Whale's body."

"He proposed cooperation and should contact you immediately."

Liu Tianning said: "He is currently talking to another clone of mine. How do you view the cooperation?"

Zhao Xing thought: "The Pei family started from the navy, and we are close, in the same sea area. With favors in front and strength, we can save Master's mobilization time, so we should cooperate."

Liu Tianning nodded: "Good, where has your Blood Shadow Flying Boat reached now?"

Zhao Xing said: "It has passed north of Yangcheng and has flown past the boundary marker for more than an hour."

"Ensure your own safety. If there is an emergency on the way, you can use the name of the Rakshasa King."

"Rakshasa King?" Zhao Xing was stunned. Only when Liu Tianning revealed the bottom line to him did he know that his Master's backer was actually the Rakshasa King.

"So many big fish." Zhao Xing felt itchy; he really wanted to shoot a volley.

However, the tools were not complete at this time, and it was easy to startle the fish school, so he gave up the idea.

"Wait until the Azure Sea Cloud Vine takes root on the seabed, then we can touch the seabed and see if there are any treasures."

If they could reach the seabed, Divine Protection could come in handy.

If they could touch the earth vein, they could exert the power of Divine Protection, and then they could try to search for treasures on the seabed.

The Spirit-Show of the Polar Night Sea was not just fish!

The sword cultivator broke the ice, and the sorcerers cooperated to move the ice layers, picking up the ice layers piece by piece and moving them elsewhere, so as not to startle the fish school.

Then it was Ji Ziyun, who arranged the Ice Well Array, so the chiseled ice surface would not freeze in a short time.

The above project only took half an hour.

Mainly because Long Xiao cut fast, and Ji Ziyun arranged the array easily.

"Splash~"

The sea water flowed, and before long, fish shadows swept past, coming out to breathe.

"Haven't nested yet, and there are fish?" Ji Ziyun looked happy. "It seems we chose the right place... Zhao Xing, start nesting?"

He was already a bit impatient.

"Alright." Zhao Xing immediately flew to the Warmth-Transforming shed and took a Water Immortal.

Water Immortal is of the lotus family, lotus genus; the lotus pod is small, but the petals are very large.

After sinking to the seabed, the blue petals became even more crystal clear, and the petals began to disturb the cold air in the water, spreading ripples around and forming a domain.

The fish school was immediately guided and began to rush to the Water Immortal domain.

Entering the range of the Water Immortal domain, the fish school was reluctant to leave and began to look for partners to mate.

Zhao Xing sprinkled another bucket of Fish-Eating Grass seeds.

The gray-green grass seeds disintegrated rapidly after entering the water surface and began to emit an odor.

"Gurgle~ gurgle~"

The bubbles on the water surface increased, clearly indicating that fish had come.

Ji Ziyun was quite excited: "So many... Hahaha, Qilin Child, hurry up and cast the rod!"

Xia Jing was shouldering the heavy responsibility of fishing at this time, and all five fishing rods were given to him to use, hoping his beginner's halo would continue to take effect, so he gritted his teeth and began to cast the Divine Luo fishing rod.

Then he cast the Yellow Dragon fishing rod, the Heaven-Earth fishing rod...

But when he cast the third fishing rod, Xia Jing was stunned.

Because the first two fishing rods had just been put down, the fishing line was instantly pulled straight, and the fishing rod bent violently.

The bubbles below became more and more, as if they were boiling.

"Splash~"

An arrowfish half a meter long, flickering with golden light, leaped out of the sea.

"Slap~" It fell directly into the fish basket in front of Xia Jing.

Xia Jing: "..."

Ji Ziyun: "..."

"Slap~" Three more flew out of the sea, and with a 'puchi' sound, they fell into the fish basket.

"Splash~"

"Splash~"

"Splash~"

Next, it was out of control.

Hundreds of fish leaped out of the sea, and the fish basket was already full.

Next, they all fell onto the ice surface and struggled.

"Gurgle~" Xia Jing swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Zhao Xing, this situation... is it normal?"

He didn't understand very well, but he was greatly shocked.

"I..." Zhao Xing was also a bit hesitant. "It seems I sprinkled a bit too much Fish-Eating Grass."

He looked carefully for two seconds, cooperated with the observation of the situation under the water by the Myriad Dharma Straw Man, and soon confirmed.

It was indeed too much nesting!

The fish below had already started to go crazy!

"Fish-Eating Grass has a fatal temptation for fish life; the fifth-rank is called Fish-Eating Grass, and the sixth-rank is 'Devour.' They will devour crazily and rush over regardless of everything."

"Water Immortal controls the fish school, letting them enter the mating period in advance, and they are no longer willing to escape this area."

"Food and color, both are arranged clearly." Zhao Xing took a deep breath. "These two types of derivative species from Shangluo Academy are too strong."

Where had Zhao Xing used such good materials for nesting in his previous life?

Subconsciously, he threw a bucket out.

In addition, the people fishing were also different.

Zhao Xing and Xia Jing were both fourth-rank luck, Long Xiao's luck was not bad, already third-rank approaching fourth-rank.

Ji Ziyun and Chen Shijie were also third-rank, but their luck pillars were slightly weaker, but the worst, Chen Shijie, had also reached third-rank.

The luck of the five people added together caused the number of fish under the water to far exceed the number Zhao Xing observed at the roots of the Azure Sea Cloud Vine.

Plus he nested too much, and now it was out of control.

"Hurry up and pick up the fish, what are you doing standing there?" Chen Shijie ran over, overjoyed. It was good that he didn't have to fish, just pick them up?

"Rich!" Ji Ziyun and Long Xiao, after a moment of being stunned, also beamed with joy and started to pick up the fish.

This wave was much bigger than what they had caught before.

The smallest were half a meter long, and the biggest had already exceeded three meters!

"All are fish-type Spirit-Show!"

At first, Xia Jing was reluctant; he had just started to be interested in fishing, and he still didn't like eating fish, but what was this?

Jumping directly into the fish basket, it was insulting!

However, as there were more and more fish, Xia Jing didn't feel nauseous anymore.

Because there were too many!

Since Spirit-Show would trigger a person's heart-blood, now Xia Jing was simply trembling with excitement.

Excitement suppressed the aversion to fish, and he even started to pick them up with his hands!

"Slap, slap, slap, slap~"

Everywhere on the water surface, fish were leaping, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds jumped onto the ice surface.

In a quarter of an hour, there were nearly a thousand!

"How much did you nest, how come there are so many." Chen Shijie ran over, also shocked by this scene.

"I threw it all in."

"Ha?" Chen Shijie said. "Is there anyone who nests like you?"

"I don't intend to fish anymore." Zhao Xing pointed, and a gale tornado instantly appeared on the sea surface. "This is not fishing at all."

"Suck it for me!"

"..."

Chen Shijie denounced: "Scum, Zhao Xing, you are simply the scum of fishing enthusiasts! There is no technical content at all!"

While speaking, he also employed a tornado.

Only a few fish jumped onto the shore.

But there were many that were sucked up by the dragon sucking water.

A fish rain suddenly fell in the sky.

"Oh, ho, ho~" Long Xiao shouted, excited like a child. "Aotian, eat, eat whatever you want!"

"Meow!" The mountain cat also waved its claws excitedly. It smelled this one, gnawed that one, wishing it could collect them all.

Mine, mine, all mine!

But a quarter of an hour later, the situation suddenly changed.

"My grass, how come this fish still hits people." Long Xiao was in a panic; he was suddenly attacked by five fish with wings and sharp fish mouths.

"Puff~ splash~" Zhao Xing's heart also suddenly missed a beat.

"Brother Zhao, there won't be any big goods below, right?" Ji Ziyun was very excited at first, but gradually, he also noticed something wrong. "How come these fish are all jumping onto the ice surface desperately?"

"Let me see." Zhao Xing immediately controlled the Myriad Dharma Straw Man to look at the seabed.

"Bang!" The Azure Sea Cloud Vine was suddenly hit by something, and the roots shook violently, and the vine wall was pierced through three or four layers.

Splash~

The water rushed in, impacting the fifth layer of the vine wall.

Zhao Xing immediately employed a spell to seal the gap.

When he activated his Heavenly Eye to observe, a blurry black shadow swept past his eyes.

The black shadow was twenty or thirty meters long, and Zhao Xing could see fifty or sixty black-scaled sharks swimming toward the Water Immortal in front.

Each one was seventy or eighty meters long! And flickering with the light of Spirit-Show!

"Sure enough, big goods have come. If we can take down one, it will definitely be a great tonic! Brothers, prepare..."

Before Zhao Xing finished speaking, his heart was suddenly grabbed by something! It was pulled hard.

Even his true self couldn't breathe and couldn't speak.

Under the seabed, the Myriad Dharma clone's perspective was suddenly blocked by a piece of white.

Gold and white interlaced stripes were moving upward.

After waiting for ten breaths, the vision in front of him suddenly cleared.

Zhao Xing immediately realized what had passed just now.

"Act, actually..."

Zhao Xing's scalp was numb.

A behemoth appeared in front of him; its tail fin alone was three or four hundred meters long!

The pale belly flickered with golden patterns, and the vision just now was blocked by it!

There was a row of scales on the back fin, each twenty or thirty meters long.

"Moo~"

A desolate sound, as if from the ancient times, came from the seabed into the roots of the Azure Sea Cloud Vine.

Then Zhao Xing saw this behemoth open its giant mouth and swallow the black-scaled sharks that had just swum past.

"Dragon Whale, it's a Dragon Whale!"

"Run!"

Zhao Xing's scalp exploded, the gale danced wildly, and he immediately rolled up the fish basket on the ice surface, including people and cats.

Without saying a word, he pulled them all toward the direction of the Warmth-Transforming shed.

"What are you..."

Long Xiao was picking up fish excitedly, but suddenly, an incomparably dangerous intuition exploded in his mind.

He actively accelerated, quickly pulling Chen Shijie.

Xia Jing's reaction was no slower, immediately launching the Green Dragon Body Technique and accelerating along with Zhao Xing's gale.

The mountain cat bit Ji Ziyun, who was half a beat slower, and walked forward on the thunder in the gale.

The ice surface suddenly calmed down.

Two breaths later.

"Bang!"

"Clack, clack, clack"

The water surface exploded, and the surrounding ice layers were all hit open.

The ice surface that Long Xiao had expanded doubled again!

A huge vortex appeared on the sea surface, and the essence energy and all matter around were pulled into the vortex and crushed.

The next moment, a giant mouth swallowed the ice surface, sea water, and fish!

It revealed half of its body, but this half was like a mountain.

The black-gold scales shone under the light.

Its leap was like a mountain rising from the seabed, and after eating the food, it plunged forward again.

"Bang!"

The ice surface was hit open again, splashing a giant wave a hundred meters high!

"Heaven~" Ji Ziyun's face turned pale. "It's a Dragon, Dragon Whale!"

"Dragon Whale, is it this big?!" Xia Jing's eyes were dull. He had forgotten to feel nauseous at this time, replaced by severe megalophobia.

"Old Chen, top the wave!" Zhao Xing shouted. "Behind is the Warmth-Transforming shed, it cannot be destroyed."

"Understood." Chen Shijie reacted quickly.

The two employed spells together to protect the Warmth-Transforming shed behind them.

The waves were surging, and Chen Shijie and Zhao Xing held their staves.

Facing the hundred-meter-high sea wave, they joined forces to support the cloud energy domain, covering the Warmth-Transforming shed.

The cloud energy was layered, like a mountain peak.

Facing the giant wave, the light shield was like a reef, standing still in the giant wave.

"Whoosh~"

A few minutes later, the waves finally subsided.

The Dragon Whale disappeared.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, all feeling like they had survived a disaster.

"Dragon Whale, I didn't expect there to be such a big Dragon Whale in the Polar Night Sea." Chen Shijie still felt very shocked. "Its size has exceeded that of an ordinary Dragon Whale by a hundred times!"

Zhao Xing said: "The Spirit-Show contained in the Dragon Whale is far stronger than ordinary fish. It swallows fish everywhere, and I don't know how much Spirit-Show it has eaten, so it becomes stronger and stronger."

"Fortunately, you reminded us in time," Ji Ziyun said with lingering fear. "Otherwise, we would have been swallowed in one bite, and we wouldn't have been able to escape the Dragon Whale's 'Swallowing Heaven Vortex'."

"Meow!" Aotian Meow waved its claws. It was really scared to death just now!

Fortunately, the Dragon Whale lunged forward, and after eating, it swam forward.

Zhao Xing and the others flew in the opposite direction.

And their reaction was fast, staying away from the area swallowed by the Dragon Whale, otherwise it would be more ominous than auspicious.

"The way of luck, once, twice, three times, and then exhausted." Zhao Xing's face was also a bit ugly. "We have always been lucky, and we have forgotten the most basic principles."

For more than ten days, it had always been good luck, without any danger.

At this time, a streak of bad luck finally broke out.

Zhao Xing calculated: "No wonder the previous result was 92, Kan has danger, seek small gains."

"It turns out it was here."

"It's my dereliction of duty," Zhao Xing reflected. "I almost harmed everyone to be swallowed by the whale."

"Brother Zhao, what are you saying?" Xia Jing frowned. "Do brothers only share blessings?"

"Yes, Zhao Xing," Ji Ziyun also said. "This is not your fault, and you reminded us in time."

Chen Shijie and Long Xiao didn't speak; they didn't blame Zhao Xing, brothers are in the heart, no need to say more.

"We are not without harvest," Ji Ziyun pointed to the fish behind them. "Although we didn't catch them all, there are still one or two thousand fish here."

"You are not a god, nor are you omniscient. You don't have to be so harsh on yourself."

Saying so, Zhao Xing still reflected on it.

The treasure hunt was too smooth, and the Five-Finger Heavenly Fate broke through to the high rank, causing his vigilance to drop, so he even ignored the basic principles of luck, or was confident that he could avoid it.

"Fate is impermanent, mysterious and difficult to measure. Although this time there was danger but no disaster, we should be prepared for danger in times of peace."

Zhao Xing reflected in his heart, feeling that his understanding of the Five-Finger Heavenly Fate and the Great Expansion Qi-Gazing Art had deepened by a few points.

"Alright, let's divide the fish." Chen Shijie noticed that Zhao Xing's mood had returned to normal, knowing that he had walked out.

"It's better to check the losses first." Zhao Xing said.

"Also."

Chen Shijie entered the Warmth-Transforming shed. Although some ice blocks collapsed inside, the overall structure was intact.

The foundation appeared with some cracks, but because the ice layer was thick enough, and the Dragon Whale didn't lunge in this direction, it just cracked, and the ten-meter-thick ice layer didn't break completely.

The loss of the Warmth-Transforming shed was not big.

"The fishing rods are gone," Long Xiao said. "All five fishing rods are gone, and I don't know if they were swallowed by the Dragon Whale or rolled away by the sea waves."

At that time, what kind of fishing rods were needed, they were all picking up fish.

"Swallowed." Zhao Xing closed his eyes. "Swallowed into the Dragon Whale's stomach."

"How do you know?" Long Xiao asked.

"Are you intentional?" Ji Ziyun was stunned. "Sixth-rank fishing rods are all custom-made, and the Seven-Star Hook has a positioning function. If the line breaks, you can also find it through positioning. You even rolled away the fish basket, there's no reason not to bring the fishing rods."

"Not bad." Zhao Xing nodded. This bit of on-the-spot reaction, as a high-level player, he still had it.

"You have ideas about the Dragon Whale, just based on our strength?"

"I can't do it," Zhao Xing smiled. "But someone can. Even if there is no chance, it's just a loss of five fishing rods."

"Anyway, we don't need fishing rods to eat fish."

"That's true." Ji Ziyun looked at the fish lying on the ground. "These fish, whether picked up or caught, are just not fished up."

"Nonsense!" Xia Jing said angrily: "I clearly caught a fish basket before! Cousin, are you jealous that I caught more than you? My technique is better than yours, so you deliberately don't mention it?"

"Qilin Child, is that called technique?" Ji Ziyun said with disdain. "The fish jumped into your basket."

"Little Pot, you are bullying people too much!"

"Bastard, you..."

Ji Ziyun just wanted to say something, but saw Zhao Xing interrupt: "Brother Xia, stop pretending."

"You want to have a quarrel with Brother Ji, and then pretend to be angry and leave, not eating this fish?"

Xia Jing's expression was a bit awkward: "Is it that obvious?"

"My soul opens the Heavenly Eye, do you think I'm joking with you?"

Zhao Xing was also a bit speechless. At the last moment, he was going to divide the fish, but Xia Jing started to retreat.

How much do you hate eating fish?!

"Actually, it's not fear, I just want to wait for you to eat some first..." Facing the eyes of others, Xia Jing's voice became weaker and weaker.

"Alright, can I eat less?"

"You are practicing the Gluttonous Eating Art, can you eat less? Ah?"

"Then can we light a fire and set up a stove, heat the pot and burn the oil, and make it cooked? You always have preparations on the Qilin flying boat, right?"

"I did consider it before." Zhao Xing pointed to the Warmth-Transforming shed. "But, the Qilin flying boat has been dismantled now, where is the pot and stove to burn oil."

"In addition, Old Chen and I are not cooking masters. If the Spirit-Show contained in this thing is not handled well, the effect will be lost if it is cooked."

"Are you going to waste heaven's gifts?"

"Don't read it, don't read it... I'll eat!" Xia Jing said angrily. "Since the supply training with you, I knew there would be a disaster sooner or later... Damn, what kind of sin did I commit!"

"A man is a man, bleeding but not crying, eat!"

"..."

On the ice-breaking building boat, Pei Yuanchang was counting the fishing harvest and discussing with the strategist.

Suddenly, a subordinate broke in without even reporting.

"Young Master, Young Master! Something big has happened!"

"Panic, what kind of style is this?!" Pei Yuanchang shouted. "Didn't you see me and Mr. talking about business?"

"Don't do this in the future, tell me, what's the matter."

The subordinate didn't say a word, took out a Mirage Pearl from his arms, and then started playing the picture.

"Young Master previously told me to pay attention to Zhao Agricultural Official's side, to prevent them from encountering any accidents."

"I have been staring from afar, this is the picture recorded two hours ago."

Pei Yuanchang immediately raised his head to look at the image projected from the Mirage Pearl.

What was recorded on it was the picture of Long Xiao cutting the ice layer and moving the ice blocks.

It was normal at first.

But when Zhao Xing transplanted Water Immortal into the water and sprinkled another bucket of Fish-Eating Grass seeds.

Gradually, it wasn't right.

"What's going on, why are there so many fish?" Pei Yuanchang was stunned.

The following picture made him even more shocked.

I saw fish jumping directly into the fish basket next to Xia Jing, and more fish jumping onto the ice surface.

Before long, Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie simply used the dragon sucking water method to roll up the fish in the water.

A fish rain fell in the sky!

"What?!"

Pei Yuanchang stood up with a 'swoosh'.

The strategist beside him was also incomparably surprised.

"How can there be so many fish in this area, this..."

Pei Yuanchang was directly dumbfounded.

His group of people, after a whole day, only had a production of a thousand catties.

Although the efficiency was getting higher and higher later, but... his boat of people still couldn't compare to the efficiency of Zhao Xing's side.

Just by visual estimation, at least one hundred thousand catties of fish were caught!

"He, how did he do it?" Pei Yuanchang suspected he was hallucinating.

He was exhausted here, and Zhao Xing's side sprinkled some seeds and directly caught one hundred thousand catties?

Is there any justice?

The subordinate was speechless. How could he possibly know how he did it?

He was just recording!

"Young Master, I don't know what spell Zhao Agricultural Official used, but I think it has something to do with his Warmth-Transforming shed."

"In addition, Young Master, continue to look, there is something big happening later!"

Pei Yuanchang finally came back to his senses, restrained his emotions, and sat down again.

But immediately, his heart trembled, and he stood up again!

"Dragon Whale!"

"Actually such a size of Dragon Whale?!"

Pei Yuanchang couldn't sit still anymore.

He immediately rushed out of the building boat.

"Young Master, Young Master!"

The strategist stood up and chased after him, but stopped after taking a few steps.

"This matter must be kept secret, and it must not be leaked."

"Yes." The subordinate understood.

After speaking, he also left the building boat and flew toward Zhao Xing's direction.

"Ugh~"

Xia Jing covered his stomach with one hand and held the door frame with the other, vomiting.

But he couldn't vomit anything. The seventh-layer Gluttonous Eating Art was rare among fifth-rank experts.

He only ate the essence of fish meat, and it was all digested after entering his stomach. What else was there to vomit?

"Brother Long, cover the mouth and nose of the Qilin Child, don't let him vomit!" Ji Ziyun said solemnly. "We must help him break this strange habit."

"Hahaha." Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie laughed, the cousin was still the most ruthless.

"Alright." Long Xiao spat out a fish bone, making a gesture to catch him.
