Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing piloted the Flower Bud Boat through the waves while checking the points list through the Jade Pendant.

Different fish gave different points.

With good luck, he could gather 60 points quickly.

With bad luck, he would probably have to wait a while.

Silver Scale Flying Fish, 5 points per fish caught!

Spirit Pattern Grouper, 10 points per fish caught!

Dragon Whisker Jin Carp, 20 points per fish caught!

Golden Fin Dragon Carp, 50 points per fish caught!

In the Fengbo Domain, the most numerous were Silver Scale Flying Fish, the rarest were Golden Fin Dragon Carp.

It was said the last time a Golden Fin Dragon Carp was seen was thirty years ago.

This fish was not only few in number, but also almost only appeared near the Sea Bottom Dragon Vein.

As everyone knew, the fishing stage only required 60 points; if one caught one, they could enter the next stage at a faster speed.

Xu Zhangqing raised an eyebrow: "My supreme-grade Yellow Rice Wine has a strong attraction to Dragon Fish, just don't know if the Dragon Fish at the sea bottom will eat this trick?"

Over a thousand ships, boats, shuttles, and rafts, like a school of fish breaking through waves.

Some were fast.

Some were slow.

The fastest were boats and shuttles, almost all had run to the very front.

Belonging to the First Echelon.

Various ships slightly slower, belonging to the Second Echelon.

As for the Third Echelon, currently there was only one person, or rather one raft.

Zhao Ziyue followed slowly behind, controlling the raft under his feet while preparing the various tools needed for fishing, his whole person not nervous or anxious at all.

Time flashed by, about a quarter of an hour passed.

The originally calm waters suddenly surged with waves.

The sound of hua-la-la rang out continuously, sounding quite noisy.

Very obviously, ahead was the "Fengbo Domain".

The First Echelon's boats and shuttles, the moment they approached, became extremely unstable.

Swaying left and right was just the norm, they could even be easily capsized.

Conversely, although ships were slower, in terms of stability they were superior.

So far, only felt the hull shake slightly, that was all.

The wind in the Fengbo Domain was very fierce, blowing the sails "pa-pa" loudly.

The seawater was a turbid blue-gray, wave crests curling with white foam, at a glance looking like boiling mud.

Visually greatly affected, almost unable to capture fish schools, could only scan with Spiritual Sense, or judge by one's own experience.

However, Spiritual Sense wasn't very useful either.

The deeper the place, the less information scanned.

Actually in the Fengbo Domain, these didn't count for much; the most troublesome were "turbulent currents" and "Dark Reefs".

Underwater often had reverse undercurrents, very easy to sweep away fish hooks and lines.

As for Dark Reefs, they all hid inside wave crests, only occasionally revealing their jagged peaks.

Crack!

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from the distance.

Xu Zhangqing raised his eyes and saw a shuttle, perhaps because its speed was too fast so it couldn't stop, directly crashed into a Dark Reef, instantly snapped in two, the people on it all flew up.

And having lost his travel tool, this person's competition qualification was revoked.

Similar things happened from time to time, everyone started to not find it strange.

Xu Zhangqing's gaze shifted sideways, discovering Immortal Maiden Chu Qiu, Long Xiyao, and the Broken Moon Flowing Frost they piloted on the Left Side, not far from himself.

At this moment, everyone was searching for a position where they could fish steadily.

Chu Qiu released her Spiritual Sense, scanning while using her Spiritual Root to perceive the underwater situation, then pointed at a spot and said: "A bit to the left, underneath there are no turbulent currents."

Xu Zhangqing nodded lightly, then controlled the Flower Bud Boat to approach.

At this time, Chu Qiu continued: "I don't understand fishing much, can only rely on yourself."

Xu Zhangqing smiled: "Okay."

He took out the Big Leaf Grass, but this time not to pilot, instead tying all four Big Leaves onto a tough fishing line, then fastening the Xuan Iron Fish Hook.

Although, previously at Lock Dragon Abyss, he had obtained a dead fishing old man's relics, including a set of valuable fishing gear.

But in terms of efficiency, Big Leaf Grass was still superior.

Then, Xu Zhangqing took out the supreme-grade Yellow Rice Wine prepared in advance.

It had little attraction to ordinary fish, but strong attraction to Dragon Fish.

As for whether he could catch the Golden Fin Dragon Carp with the most points, that depended on luck.

Although Chu Qiu didn't understand fishing, she always felt this Junior Brother Xu's methods were a bit wild.

Others were all using things like fishing rods and bait.

He, on the other hand, not only took out a four-leaf clover and tied four fishing lines to it, but even poured wine into the seawater.

Time passed second by second, and everyone's ears were filled with the "hualalala" sound of flowing water.

Someone had already caught a fish.

Either it was a Silver Scale Flying Fish worth 5 points.

Or it was a Spirit Pattern Grouper worth 10 points.

As for the rarer Dragon Whisker Jin Carp and Golden Fin Dragon Carp, not a single one had appeared yet.

Regarding this, Xu Zhangqing was not anxious at all; he was completely at ease, appearing very calm.

Not long after, Hu Bugui had a reaction and caught a slender Silver Scale Flying Fish.

After a while, even Li Sancai and Li Xianglin had gains.

Seeing this, Chu Qiu frowned: "Junior Brother, could it be that our position is wrong?"

There are no undercurrents underwater here, and the water flow is relatively stable.

Logically speaking, fish should be easy to catch.

But why is it that even Hu Bugui, Li Sancai, and others have had gains?

Yet on my side, stubbornly not a single movement or sound, it's too quiet.

If fish cannot be caught, points cannot be increased, and then one cannot go to the next location.

Xu Zhangqing said lightly: "Fishing cannot be rushed; wait slowly."

He had absolute confidence in the top-grade Yellow Rice Wine, so he was not worried at all.

Hearing this, Chu Qiu had no choice but to look toward the Immortal Maiden of North Clouds on the other side.

As a result, he found that even she had started gaining.

Just like this, time continued to pass.

People around, acquaintances, points increased one after another.

Especially Spiritual Root Cultivators, their fishing speed was the fastest.

The advantage of the Water Spiritual Root was fully displayed at this moment.

On Xu Zhangqing's side, the Big Leaf Grass finally had movement.

The left leaf among the four leaves in front, back, left, and right suddenly trembled.

But only once, and then it calmed down, with no further reaction.

Chu Qiu thought it was due to the water flow, so he didn't take it to heart.

However, Xu Zhangqing grabbed the fishing line of the left leaf and yanked upward hard.

With a "pu chi" sound, two golden Dragon Whiskers broke the water surface first.

Next was a fish body about three feet long.

Then were small and tight pale yellow scales.

Chu Qiu exclaimed: "A Dragon Whisker Jin Carp worth 20 points?"

However, it wasn't over yet; the other three leaves all began to tremble.

Some were like before, moving only once, then falling into calm.

But one was not like that; the movement was very great, even causing the leaves to sway up and down.

Xu Zhangqing reacted quickly, holding the Big Leaf Grass in his hand, then dragging the fishing line back and forth in the water, engaging in a contest with whatever was inside.

I don't know how long passed, but the force coming from below became smaller and smaller.

Xu Zhangqing did not hesitate at all, immediately lifting the Big Leaf Grass and throwing it hard into the air.

Puff puff puff!

The sounds of breaking water rang out one after another.

Chu Qiu stared tightly, instantly distinguishing two of them; both were Dragon Whisker Jin Carp.

Only the last one was different; it had no Dragon Whiskers, but its body length reached four feet, its body type was sturdy and full of strength, its scales were as large as copper coins, tightly arranged on the body surface, like a layer of solid armor, flashing dazzling golden light!
