Chapter 24

It's a big guy!

Li Hao perceived the huge struggling force from the other end of the water, and immediately realized that the thing in the water was not small. His heart was dark and cold, and he didn't dare to be slow. He didn't pull the fishing line fiercely, as it was easy to pull the mouth crooked and the hook would come off, but instead relaxed it gently after tightening, and then pulled it tight again!

In an instant, the calm black water surface suddenly surged with angry waves, and the surging waves were huge, actually having a diameter of more than ten meters.

Li Hao could faintly see a massive black shadow, gradually pulled out from the bottom of the water, struggling and resisting violently at a place closer to the water surface.

This black shadow was ferocious, seven or eight meters long. As it struggled, the water splashes and waves also spread to further places.

Li Hao tightened the fishing line and, according to the same method of relaxing and tightening as before, pulled this massive black shadow slowly approaching the shore.

The thing at the bottom of the water seemed to perceive something, and suddenly leaped out of the water, revealing a flat and massive fish head, full of sharp teeth, like countless sharpened bamboo thorns.

The emerald green eyeballs stared ferociously at Li Hao on the fishing platform. After seeing that it was just a white and tender child of seven or eight years old, the fierce light in the fish eyes suddenly became angry.

"Ignorant child, dare to fish your Catfish Grandpa!"

This fish demon actually spoke human words, emitting a sharp and ear-piercing sound. It didn't continue to struggle, but suddenly swam toward the shore rapidly. The originally tight fishing line also loosened in the water in an instant.

"Watch me eat you!!"

The distance of hundreds of meters was rapidly shortened in the surging waves in the blink of an eye. This fish demon wanted to swallow Li Hao alive, actually leaping up and rushing toward the fishing platform a foot away from the water.

As the fish demon landed, characters appeared before Li Hao's eyes:

【Fishing Experience +68】

【Fishing Dao improved to Stage One】

At the same time, many fishing techniques poured into his mind.

But Li Hao couldn't care about absorbing and digesting them at this moment, but instead tightened his scalp and focused his thoughts on the front.

That fishy and foul mouth was already close at hand, and he could even see the tender pink flesh trembling in the fish demon's throat.

Li Hao encountered an enemy for the first time, feeling dark surprise in his heart, and also somewhat nervous, only because this fish demon looked extremely ferocious, but fortunately, its movements were as slow as a turtle in his eyes.

In the Listening Rain Tower, he had recorded three body refining manuals just for eye power.

Overlapping each other, making up for defects, he had raised his eyesight to an extremely high level, far exceeding what the Tongli Realm possessed.

At this moment, he bit his tongue, quickly calmed down, and then his palms stretched out, grabbed the fish demon's sharp teeth, and then turned and swung it out!

All of this happened in an instant, and the whole action was done in one go.

Only heard a 'bang' sound, the fish demon hit the mountain body more than thirty meters behind the shore, its tail flapping hard on the ground, tossing and turning.

"You, what kind of monster are you?!"

The fish demon was dizzy from the smash, actually spitting out such a trembling sentence.

It twisted its fish belly slightly. Years of practice made it feel the shadow of death at this moment. This white and tender child of seven or eight years old before it was too terrifying, absolutely impossible to be human, and should be the bloodline of some big demon descendant.

Li Hao heard the fish demon's words and couldn't help but be stunned, then laughed out loud.

But to prevent this fish demon from having any means he didn't understand, he decided to solve it quickly, and his body rushed out suddenly.

Pfft! Suddenly, the fish demon's gills bulged, and immediately after, a mouthful of black, fishy, and foul old mud sprayed from its mouth, like a poisonous arrow.

Li Hao had long been secretly guarding against unknown means. Seeing the black mud exit, his soles suddenly twisted, dodged it, and then his feet exerted force, and a fierce kick rapidly shortened the distance.

"Don't, spare me..."

The fish demon was terrified and wanted to open its mouth to beg for mercy, but Li Hao's punch had already been smashed, hitting its fish head forehead.

Just the terrifying shock force of the physical body made the fish demon's body tremble suddenly, and its brain shell 'ka' cracked and collapsed. Green brain pulp sprayed out from inside. Li Hao didn't have time to dodge and splashed quite a bit on his body.

A strong fishy smell came, making him somewhat nauseous.

No wonder the old man had a fishy smell all over his body. Fishing all year round, this kind of thing is always inevitable.

At this moment, the fish demon's tail was still trembling and flapping on the ground, but it seemed to be just a nervous twitch, not as fierce as before.

Li Hao prevented it from feigning death and added two more punches. After the fish demon's head was smashed into a hole and brain pulp was bubbling out, he withdrew and left the fish demon's side.

He thought to himself, if he comes to fish next time, it seems he should bring a sword.

Otherwise, if he encounters a bigger guy, he might not catch the fish but become bait instead.

Of course, with Li Muxiu beside him, Li Hao basically wouldn't have any danger. Now the golden talisman given by the old man hadn't been triggered yet.

However, Li Hao didn't like to rely on others for everything. After solving the fish demon, Li Hao reviewed the many messages in his mind just now. Many fishing techniques emerged one by one, making him feel as if he had been fishing on the shore for more than ten years.

Observing water, measuring lines, hiding hooks, etc... Many fishing techniques were clear in his heart. Li Hao came to the fishing platform, tidied up the fishing rod and the messed-up fishing line, and cast the hook again, but this time the technique was more skillful. His palms rubbed and brushed, and the bait firmly covered the fishing hook.

Then he stared at the black lake. The originally pitch-black lake now had distinct changes in his eyes.

His gaze could see the slight changes in the water flow, and he could see the ripples of the water surface after the waves subsided seven or eight meters deep, which were like patterns in his eyes, depicting the movement of the undercurrent at the bottom of the water.

Through this undercurrent, Li Hao's mind formed a judgment that there were things moving at the bottom of the water in a relatively far place.

And this fishing platform area, after two big movements, should have nothing left, and the guys with weight at the bottom of the water had already run away.

Li Hao's heart moved, and he didn't cast the rod here to wait quietly, but chose to take the initiative.

He carried the rod, walked along the shore, and stared at the water surface from time to time. Through the undercurrent at the bottom of the water, he could judge the direction of the prey.

Soon, after walking about a thousand meters, Li Hao stopped at a place like a bay. He chose a solid soil platform and chose to cast the rod.

And this cast, although it was swung with all his might, strangely, when the heavy fishing hook fell into the water, it only caused a small ripple and didn't make the 'ding-dong' sound like before.

Then, the line was pulled by the fishing hook and slowly sank to the bottom of the water.

Li Hao squatted slightly and waited quietly.

In just a few minutes, the float showed movement.

Li Hao wasn't surprised. This hook was equivalent to delivering the bait directly to the vicinity of the guy at the bottom of the water, delivering food to the door.

With a 'swoosh', the float swallowed into the water. Heh, it's still an impatient guy.

Li Hao chuckled, pulled the rod suddenly, and the line head transmitted huge force, but at the first moment of struggle, Li Hao could perceive and judge that it was about two thousand catties, and it should be just a fish demon of the Tongli Realm. Its intelligence hadn't fully manifested, no wonder the movement it caused under the water could be faintly seen from a thousand meters away.

He still chose to pull heavily and pull lightly.

Then the rod swayed left and right, and every time he dragged, he made the fishing hook hang more firmly, not easy to come off.

Soon, after walking for seven or eight minutes, Li Hao pulled this exhausted fish demon out of the lake.

【Fishing Experience +23】

The fish demon that landed ashore pounced on Li Hao ferociously, but was beaten to death by him and thrown to the mountain slope behind.

Then continue to bait and fish.

There are still some under the water.

……

……

"This old dragon is cunning, not a trace has been revealed."

Above the demon lake, Li Muxiu's figure was hidden in the high sky. He didn't have a fishing rod, only a nearly transparent line, vertically submerged into the bottom of the water.

His fishing technique had long mastered the line, able to perceive the situation at the bottom of the water through the movement of the line in the water. This technique was no different from searching directly with divine soul and prying into the bottom of the water.

He had already cast the line hidden enough, but the old dragon had no movement.

The little fish demon that Li Hao fished earlier was eaten by another fish demon, big fish eating small fish.

But his purpose was not to catch fish, but to catch a dragon!

"Forget it, it seems this old dragon should be sleeping and resting today. This three-thousand-mile black lake, I don't know where it hid."

Li Muxiu shook his head slightly, scanned the thousand-mile surging lake surface, and couldn't see the end at a glance.

He sighed, retracted the line, and incidentally pulled out a fish demon more than ten meters long with spikes all over its body, which was the bait he used to catch the dragon.

At this moment, his finger flicked, and the fish demon's body shrank, turning into a black-spotted little fish the length of a palm, which he threw into the fish basket.

"I don't know if that little guy has any results. Don't be unable to endure the loneliness and not catch any later."

Li Muxiu muttered, carried the fish basket, and flew toward the original direction.
