Chapter 3: The fish in this world are different

Jerry originally wanted to find corn as bait, but didn't find it, and didn't find anything else suitable as bait.】

So he took Tang San, found a damp corner, and started digging. Soon he dug up a few earthworms. Wow, thank heavens, there are earthworms in this world!】

Carrying the dug-up earthworms, he came to the still water area below the waterfall with Tang San. "Fish in the shallows in spring, fish in the deep pools in summer, fish in the shade in autumn, fish in the warmth in winter." Now it was summer, so it was easy to find a spot.】

He fished directly at the bottom. After adjusting the floats of the two fishing rods, he hung the earthworms and threw them into the water. The rest depended on luck. He told Tang San that now the four sections of the seven-star float were in the water, and three sections were floating on the water surface. When seeing the float tremble, don't lift the rod first; wait until one of the top three sections is pulled down, or one of the bottom four sections is pushed up, then lift the rod. Tang San understood quickly!】

Then, Tang San also hung the earthworms and cast the rod to wait. Nesting was forgotten; there were no conditions. Let it depend on heaven's will!】

Jerry was very confident, but he ignored one problem: this world is different. People by the sea also catch fish, and most of the fish in the sea are spirit beasts. Fish that haven't reached 10 years are generally not wanted by anyone. Even ordinary fish, nourished by the spirit power between heaven and earth, have greater strength than those in the previous life.】

And everyone relies on martial souls to catch fish; currently, no one has been found fishing. There are also fish in freshwater areas, but everyone is used to martial souls, so basically no one fishes, so there are many in the water, and even many spirit beasts!】

Jerry and Tang San fishing now is equivalent to fishing in a wild pond with many, many fish. The fish smell the earthworms and swim toward Jerry and Tang San's position like crazy!】

By the water, Jerry said: "Don't worry, we can definitely catch fish! Don't be anxious. This fishing requires patience; just wait slowly. After we make some better equipment later, I guarantee we will have a full catch every time!"】

"Full catch?" Tang San was a bit puzzled.】

As he spoke, he saw many bubbles floating up. For a veteran angler, the happiest thing is seeing fish bubbles just after casting.】

"Look, the fish are here, get ready to lift the rod!" Just as he finished speaking, he saw the seven-star float pull down violently. It was too late to say, Jerry lifted the rod violently, and he hooked a fish!】

The fish in the water felt the pain and dashed outward. Through the feel, the fish was not small and couldn't be pulled. Only then did he think that he was just a child of three years old. He originally only wanted to catch some crucian carp or the like, but didn't expect to hook a big fish right away, so he hurriedly shouted: "Little San, come quickly, I hooked a fish, I can't pull it!"】

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Little San and found that Little San had also hooked a fish and was struggling with it!】

"Damn it, no way, hooked at the same time!" Suddenly, a great force came, and with a splash, Jerry was pulled directly into the water by the fish. Just after falling into the water, Jerry hurriedly let go. Fortunately, he let go in time, otherwise he would have been pulled far away by the fish. He hurriedly swam ashore.】

"So unlucky, the strength of this fish is really great. It's a pity it didn't come ashore!"】

On the shore, Tang San was still struggling with the fish. Tang San, after all, had the first layer of Mysterious Heaven Art at great perfection, so he still had strength, even greater than many adults in his previous life, but he had no technique and could only pull hard against the fish. And don't say, the thread was really sturdy!】

Jerry, regardless of being soaked all over, ran to Tang San's side to direct Tang San to play the fish. "Little San, stand the rod up first, don't pull hard, pull back and forth left and right, control it in a closer area and let it swim back and forth. When it stops, then exert force. Don't pull hard; this fishing rod might not be able to bear it, be careful of breaking the rod."】

After speaking, he took out the hemp rope he was carrying, tied it to the tail of Tang San's rod, and tested it a few times; it was tied very close.】

"Little San, if this fish dashes forward, pay attention. If you really can't pull it back, just let go. I have already tied the lost-hand rope here. Don't worry, this roll is very long," Jerry said, a bit regretful that his fishing rod hadn't been tied with a lost-hand rope first, otherwise he could have slowly played it ashore. Next time, he must tie the lost-hand rope first.】

More than half an hour passed. The fish under the water swam back and forth repeatedly, and the lost-hand rope was released three or four times. Twice it was released directly for fifty meters before the fish was controlled. Finally, the fish was played out of strength, and it was slowly pulled out of the water. It was really big, about thirty jin. They slowly pulled it to the shore, and then the two of them worked together to grab the fish gills to pull it ashore!】

The big fish was ashore, and the two of them were directly tired and sat on the ground. It was really satisfying. Looking at the big fish, both of them were very excited. Jerry said: "Look, I said we could catch fish!"】

"You still have the nerve to say that, you were pulled into the water by the fish," Tang San said casually!】

"I didn't expect the fish to be so big. At first, I didn't tie the lost-hand rope and didn't dare to let go. Who knew it would dash so hard? I was about to call you, but you also hooked a fish. I wasn't paying attention and was pulled into the water. Besides, I'm only three years old, how could I have such great strength? Right, Little San, why are you so strong?" Jerry asked tentatively!】

A flash of panic flashed in Tang San's eyes, and he hurriedly covered it up and said: "I often go to the back mountain to exercise, my body is good, you just don't exercise yourself!"】

I knew it wouldn't be that easy. Tang San definitely wouldn't say. Forget it, take it slow, there are still three years!】

Jerry and Tang San hugged the big fish and took the last fishing rod back to the village. "Little San, it seems we were very successful this time. Let's continue next time. When the time comes, you help me forge a few more things, and fishing will be safe in the future. Let's go to your house to cook the fish. I'll go home first to change clothes and then go call Grandfather Jack together."】

"Okay, Father will definitely be very happy to see fish to eat!" Tang San said happily. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and his mouth was also very greedy!】

Jerry thought of Tang San's craftsmanship and directly thought that fishing boxes, gun platforms, bait trays, etc., should all be forgeable, right! Right, I also need to make a large landing net, so I don't have to pull it by hand like today, it's too troublesome! Forget the fish guard; just throw it on the shore when the time comes. Otherwise, if it recovers its strength in the fish guard, it will directly pull the fish guard, fishing box, and person into the water. Anyway, eat it on the same day, it doesn't matter if it dies!】

Tang San took the fish back home, saw Tang Hao still lying in front of the door, and said loudly: "Father, there is fish to eat today. Jerry and I caught it at the waterfall."】

Tang Hao opened his eyes, saw the thirty-jin fish in Tang San's arms, and was startled. This was not an ordinary fish at all; this was clearly a thirty-year-old fish spirit beast. Although it had no lethality, it was not something two children could catch. "How did you catch it?"】

"This is our tool, called a fishing rod. You can catch fish with this," Tang San said and handed the fishing rod he was carrying to Tang Hao!】

Tang Hao looked at the fishing rod. Interesting, such a simple tool could catch a thirty-year spirit beast. Not bad! Then he didn't say anything!】
