Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Huah lala~

Two liang of yellow rice wine poured down.

The originally calm-as-a-mirror pool water instantly rippled with rings of ripples.

This also signified that the three people's fishing competition had officially begun.

Xu Zhangqing placed the big leaf grass in front.

Whichever leaf trembled represented which fishing line had a bite.

【11】 Then he took out a wooden chair from his storage bag.

He then took out a wooden chair from Inside the Storage Bag.

He plopped down onto it, then held up the black-skinned watermelon.

Just like that, eating with relish on one side, patiently waiting on the other.

Zhao Ziyue and Hu Bugui on the other two sides were not to be outdone either.

As qualified fishing veterans, the things they carried were certainly not as simple as just fishing rods.

Chairs, stools, fishing nets, and the like were all brought in full.

"Remember last time, it seemed we waited half an hour?"

"Must pay attention, a fish yaoguai might very well appear!"

"The three of us this time, should be no problem, right?"

Hu Bugui recalled the last time he came here to fish for dragon fish; the scene at that time was thrilling to the extreme.

Fortunate to have survived, yet his heart felt somewhat nervous.

After all, no one knew whether the fish yaoguai would appear again.

Even its exact strength, no one was clear on.

This time, although there was one more person compared to last time.

But Xu Zhangqing was only at Qi Refining Late Stage.

Just like that, time passed by, minute by minute, second by second.

At the beginning, the entire Black Dragon Pool was extremely quiet.

Suddenly, bubbles began to rise in the distance.

At first there were only a few, and the interval between each occurrence was very long.

But as the yellow rice wine's scent dissolved in the water, the frequency of bubbles appearing gradually increased.

Seeing this situation, the three of them, Xu Zhangqing included, rapidly exchanged glances, all on full alert.

So serious that they even forgot to breathe.

One bubble after another, from the distance, continuously approached their side.

Watching as they reached the position where the fish hooks were, they came to an abrupt halt.

No more movement.

No more bubbles either.

As if everything just now had been merely an illusion.

Xu Zhangqing took a deep breath, thinking secretly in his heart: "This Black Dragon Pool is truly strange enough."

Hu Bugui was the first unable to hold back, asking in a low voice: "Lao Xu, Lao Zhao... what's the situation?"

Zhao Ziyue waved his hand, saying quite calmly: "Just the fish's little tricks, we mustn't be impatient, and even more mustn't check the hooks' condition, lest we scare them away."

Xu Zhangqing didn't speak.

After all, this was his first time coming to Black Dragon Pool to fish.

Moreover, this time's target was the legendary dragon fish said to possess a trace of yaolong bloodline.

He always felt that no matter what situation occurred, he could accept it.

Following that, this bizarre situation did not occur again, not even bubbles.

However, the three people remained calm.

This trip to fish, they had already prepared to stay for a whole day.

Food to eat, drink to drink, all fully prepared.

They could completely sleep here for a nap.

……

……

The dim underground, unknown how long had passed.

Hu Bugui, because he had drunk a bit of wine earlier, was now drowsy.

And Zhao Ziyue, truly worthy of a qualified fishing veteran, still stared with eyes wide open, looking very spirited.

The watermelon in Xu Zhangqing's hand was already eaten up, and he took out a top-grade sweet potato.

Because it hadn't been roasted, the texture was comparatively hard.

Fortunately, the white flesh inside was crisp and juicy.

One bite, crunchy crisp.

After finishing eating, Xu Zhangqing took out two chicken eggs laid by pearl chickens.

Already cooked ahead of time; peel and eat.

Click~

Click~

"Can't you focus on fishing?" Zhao Ziyue finally couldn't hold back.

He himself was staring intently.

Hu Bugui sleeping on the other side was one thing.

This one was even more outrageous; his mouth never stopped, always eating.

Xu Zhangqing blinked: "Want some?"

"I..." Zhao Ziyue was about to refuse, but after sensing the spiritual energy contained in the chicken egg, he subconsciously swallowed.

Xu Zhangqing saw this and smiled, then tossed the cooked chicken egg in his left hand over.

Zhao Ziyue caught it and examined it seriously: "Strange, what kind of egg is this?"

Smaller than a chicken egg.

But the spiritual energy contained was richer than a chicken egg.

A bit incongruous.

Xu Zhangqing shrugged: "This is an egg laid yesterday by a pearl chicken I breed."

And it went from one egg each time to two eggs each time.

Zhao Ziyue peeled the shell, looked at the tender egg white, his appetite immediately opened, and directly stuffed it into his mouth.

As soon as he chewed, the spiritual energy contained in the chicken egg surged violently in his mouth.

He immediately stared wide-eyed.

Is this an egg laid by a pearl chicken?

I've eaten pearl chicken eggs before.

Tiny one, with especially low spiritual energy content inside.

But this pearl chicken egg laid by Xu Zhangqing was not only larger in size.

Even the spiritual energy content after cooking was actually richer than normal.

Good fellow, this person not only has talent in planting, but also in breeding spirit beasts, right?

Just as the two were eating chicken eggs.

The sound of "hualalala" came from Black Dragon Pool again.

This place was underground, very quiet.

Except for the three of them eating, breathing, and heartbeat, there were almost no other sounds.

Facing this sudden situation, Xu Zhangqing and Zhao Ziyue reacted first, hurriedly looking toward the water surface of Black Dragon Pool.

And the drowsy Hu Bugui was half a beat slow, just opening his eyes.

Then, he saw that the originally calm water surface actually rippled in circles.

At the same time, bubbles appeared one after another without cease.

It looked as if something was approaching Xu Zhangqing's fish hook.

Facing this situation, Zhao Ziyue decisively put down his fishing rod and immediately leaned over.

Hu Bugui finally woke up, asking nervously: "What's the situation?"

Zhao Ziyue called out: "Come help, Lao Xu might catch the first fish."

Soon, the three gathered together, all nervously watching.

The thing underwater kept circling around Xu Zhangqing's fish hook.

It looked like it was either stealing the bait.

Or deliberately playing with them.

In short, it didn't bite the hook right away.

This scene made Hu Bugui feel it was familiar: "Lao Zhao, don't you think this is very similar to when we came here last time to fish for Dragon Fish?"

Zhao Ziyue was stunned upon hearing this, then said unbelievingly: "Could the first one be..."

"Dragon Fish?" Xu Zhangqing was very surprised, didn't expect his luck to be this good.

However, Hu Bugui shook his head and said in a weaker voice: "It's a fish demon!"

Zhao Ziyue added: "Last time, we also thought it was a Dragon Fish biting the hook, but found out it was a fish demon's trick, deliberately attracting us."

"Once you pull the fish hook, you will definitely be dragged into the water by the other side."

"Hiss!"

Xu Zhangqing sucked in a breath of cold air, saying unbelievingly: "So sinister?"

Hualalala~

The water surface began to surge continuously.

Soon, one of the leaves of Big Leaf Grass began to shake violently.

At first glance, it seemed like a big fish bit the hook.

However, because of the experience and lesson from last time, this time, under the reminder of Zhao Ziyue and Hu Bugui.

Xu Zhangqing not only did not pull the fishing line, but pretended not to see, remaining completely motionless from beginning to end, just not falling for this fish demon's trick.

Hualalala~

Hualalala~

The sound of flowing water became increasingly intense, and even a huge fish tail emerged from the water surface!!!
