Chapter 335: Ask Tiger for Help?

After packing up the Longline Fishing catch, everyone ate dinner.

It was simple enough.

The noon meal wasn't finished, and there were also braised dishes bought from Lao Jiang.

Each person drank a bottle of wine to relieve fatigue.

Full and satisfied, A Qing couldn't stay idle and fetched the Fishing Rod.

"Can we catch fish?"

Mei Wu was the first to respond: "Sure."

"Have you fished before?"

"Of course, but I haven't fished at sea again."

"That's about the same," A Qing said briefly, and Wu An and the others also took out their gear, preparing to fish for a while.

There's no other way.

This is one of the only ways to spend Luck Value.

Add Point.

Each person's Fishing Rod varied in quality, and a total of 40 Luck Value was consumed.

Not bad.

Lao Fu Tou steered the fishing boat a bit closer to the island; the tide was still rising, making it quite suitable for fishing.

Just cast the rod.

Everyone began to yawn.

Both sleepy and tired.

Since dawn until now, the group had hardly rested; they only dozed briefly while hurrying, which was of no use.

There was little feeling while working.

After eating and drinking their fill, the drowsiness surged suddenly.

"Ha…"

A Qing looked up and let out a big yawn, saw the rod tip sink, then lifted the rod to spear a fish; to show respect for the catch, his drooping eyelids lifted slightly.

But the lift was very limited.

After a while, he pulled up a Black Bream.

Soon after, Mei Wu, Wu Ping, Lao Fu Tou, and Wu An successively caught fish.

With Luck Value's boost, everyone turned into yawning "fishing machines," watching the Linked Rod Technique catch fish, genuinely happy inside yet unable to laugh.

It's not that they don't want to laugh; they just can't move their mouths.

Fished for a while.

Wu An hauled up a mouse-spotted fish; after his Luck Value was depleted, he tossed the Fishing Rod aside, too lazy to bother, and leaned against the nearby Fish Basket: "Can't go on, I'm going to sleep."

He said that just now.

Snoring sounds erupted.

Wu Ping gave a helpless glance, yawned and walked into the cabin, fetched a shirt, and covered Wu An's belly; the western sky hung the sunset, the wind was breezy, his whole body was sweating, lest he catch a chill.

But A Qing, though small in stature, was the one who got stuck.

After fishing for over an hour, the haul began to dwindle; Lao Fu Tou looked at everyone's catch and said, "We've been fishing all morning, still not as good as A An's short session."

Wu An fished two mouse-spotted fish and several tiger-spotted fish, which were essentially all prized species.

Their catch was rather mixed; they had everything, but it wasn't very valuable.

A Qing wiped the tears at the corner of his eye: "That's normal."

Lao Fu Tou went to start the boat.

He didn't yawn much; he was truly sleepy, but he could endure, and he told everyone that this was how it was when working on the boat before.

Even the crank turned, all were squeezing time to rest.

That was the real hardship.

This is nothing.

A Qing and Mei Wu couldn't hold on any longer; they leaned against Wu An and fell asleep.

Wu Ping also thought it was okay and said, "Grandpa Fu, let's go take a walk on the island."

"The tide is just receding at this point."

"Let's see if we can chase the sea or go to Panshuikeng on the island."

Lao Fu Tou nodded.

They steered the boat toward the island.

While it was still daylight, the two climbed onto the island.

Unfortunately, after circling the island, its barrenness was utter, and the two returned empty-handed.

Back on the boat, the sky was already dark.

……

Wu An was awakened by the noise.

Half-asleep, he heard Lao Fu Tou cursing, rubbed his eyes and sat up, asking, "What's up with this?"

Wu Ping turned around, gave a wry smile, and said, "The big fish we were Longline Fishing escaped."

"Huh?" Wu An heard that and instantly became alert.

He quickly scrambled up, stood at the side of the boat, followed the ship's lights to look, and exclaimed, "Whoa, no way, is that the Dragon Fish?"

"That's over the line!"

"Eat my fish, I haven't even gotten a bite yet, and you keep going on forever?"

He and Lao Fu Tou were just worried about this.

As it turned out, their worry was indeed justified.

They went all the way out there specifically to do Longline Fishing, and this damned fish actually kept up.

Alright, alright.

Damn, that's how you play, huh?

Consider yourself ruthless!

Bullying people, you actually did bully them.

A Qing and Mei Wu also got up, and upon seeing the situation they were both stunned.

"You filthy bastard, if you have the guts, come up here, see if I don't kill you!" A Qing leapt up and shouted.

Mei Wu, with a dark face, said: "This fish could have been taken away directly with Longline Fishing, but it instead circled around our fishing boat."

"Provocation."

"This is definitely intentional!"

At that moment.

The big fish, dragging the Longline Fishing, swam over, reached the side of the boat, flipped over, then its tail slapped the water hard with a "splash", the sea water roiled; if Wu An and the others hadn't dodged quickly, they'd have been drenched to the bone.

Wu An, irritated, grabbed a harpoon and threw it straight down.

Wu Ping tried to block but failed.

"Ah, how could it have hit? What a waste of a harpoon."

After saying that, he sighed.

Going out to sea to fish, and actually being messed with by a fish.

What kind of thing is this?

If you told anyone, they'd surely not believe it.

"This fish is definitely the sea's bully," A Qing cursed, saying, "It probably wants us to pay protection money."

"Damn."

"Back when I was at school, I was bullied like this."

"We paid again and again; if we missed even once, we'd get beaten."

A Qing cursed foully; clearly the actions of this bully Dragon Fish triggered his psychological trauma.

Wu An was also very depressed.

It was truly a case of a leaky roof meeting a night rain; his Luck Value was already unspent and he was already down, and now a bully fish came to cause trouble, and now both Longline Fishing lines are ruined.

The loss was quite severe.

Just when everyone could only sit on the boat, raging helplessly, a crisp call came from not far away; Wu An's face brightened, that sound was either a Killer Whale or a dolphin!

He quickly shouted, "Lao Fu, turn on the light, fire toward the place the sound came from."

From the sound, it shouldn't be far.

The light was bright; it was a spotlight specially installed on the fishing boat. Wu An looked up, and under the light, several silhouettes could be seen moving swiftly, occasionally leaping out of the water.

It's the Killer Whales!

The last time they met was during the storm when they rescued Lao Fu Tou; the Killer Whales delivered many manta rays, and they returned Mantis Shrimp; after this back-and-forth, they should count as friends, right?

So calling them to help should also work, right?

Wu An had no other way, he could only try a hopeless remedy.

Let's give it a try.

He fetched a megaphone, strained his throat and shouted, "Killer Whales, Hu Zi, it's me."

"I need your help."

"Here, look here!"

Holding the megaphone, he shouted several times in a row.

Lao Fu Tou turned around and said, "A An, don't waste your effort; before it was just a coincidence that the Killer Whales helped us."

"Look at the direction the Killer Whales are heading; they're clearly just passing by."

"They couldn't have turned around specifically to come here."

Mei Wu, who was coming for the first time, didn't understand the history between Wu An's group and the Killer Whales; seeing Wu An actually pleading for help from the Killer Whales was simply more shocking than seeing a Dragon Fish hold a grudge and come to cause trouble.

What on earth is this?

Are you here to go out fishing, or just to visit homes?
