Wang Mu said, "If I don’t catch anything, you can’t bla !"
"Sure, deal! As long as you help , whether you catch sothing or not, I’ll give you the item." Little Jiao Huo rolled her eyes and nodded earnestly.
So, the next day, Wang Mu got ready and set off with Little Jiao Huo.
"How far is that place?"
"Sink into Yunlai Creek, and with my swimming speed, we should get there in about a day."
"But I’m human, not a fish. I can’t swim that long, right? And if it’s too deep, my body won’t be able to handle it."
"No worries, I have a way. Just co on down."
Wang Mu jumped into the water.
Little Jiao Huo opened her mouth and blew out a bubble, which instantly enveloped Wang Mu, even through the water.
"This is..." Wang Mu was sowhat surprised.
"It’s a natural talent of us Water Clan spirits!" Little Jiao Huo said, a bit embarrassed. "Because I’m quite weak, I could only blow bubbles at first. They’re usually used to trap food."
"The bubble can protect the food inside while it’s in the water. It also absorbs nutrients from the water, preventing the food from suffocating and dying, which would spoil its taste."
This is weird, Wang Mu thought, listening from inside the bubble.
"Follow ! Don’t exert too much force! I haven’t cultivated much, so the bubble is quite fragile."
Wang Mu felt the special mbrane. The Water Clan spirits of this Immortal World are really unique, he thought.
Inside, he didn’t need to move. All he needed was for Little Jiao Huo to pull him along.
Got to say, this is quite convenient underwater, he mused.
They slowly sank to the bottom of the creek.
Of course, although it was called a creek, this was, in fact, a very large river. It was only nad Yunlai Creek because it flowed past Anle Village.
The underwater world did not appear dim at all, but rather quite bright. This was because many fish were glowing, and occasionally Wang Mu would spot a Top-grade Fish Species...
After swimming for most of the day, they were now very far from land. The light in the water gradually dimd, and from ti to ti, they could see so special sea monster colonies. Little Jiao Huo seed quite familiar with them, skillfully avoiding each one. It was clear she had practiced this many tis and was very adept, indicating she ca here often.
Wang Mu calculated the ti; it should be around 9 p.m. when Little Jiao Huo stopped.
What appeared before Wang Mu was a very special sea trench. Above the trench was a mysterious light curtain. Below it lay a deep chasm, emitting faint white glimrs of light that flickered now and again.
Interestingly, several broken fishing rods could be seen around the trench.
Damn, could this be... a special fishing spot? Wang Mu’s heart skipped a beat. Have I unlocked a special fishing spot?
In the ga, besides Newbie Village, there were other fishing spots as well. The kinds of fish one could catch were also very different. So rare fishing spots were very well hidden. Such as this Sea Abyss at the bottom of a large river, possessing mysterious powers—it was definitely a very special fishing spot. And he had already left Newbie Village. It was clear that humans had tried fishing here before.
After entering the light curtain, the bubble shattered, and Wang Mu landed on the nearby ground. The feel of the soft, muddy ground was completely different from that of dry land.
"This is the place!" Little Jiao Huo didn’t go through the light curtain and stayed outside. "We Water Clan spirits can’t breathe inside. Only cultivated spirits and humans like you can fish in there."
"I can wait for you outside and keep watch. From ti to ti, so super powerful Water Demons pass by here, so be careful!"
"If you get tired, I’ll take you back."
Wang Mu nodded. He took a quick look around; from the marks on the ground, it was indeed a special fishing spot. So experienced predecessors had been here. Unfortunately, it didn’t seem like they had caught much.
It seems the rumors about Linglong Love Abyss might really be true, Wang Mu thought to himself. ...Just casually fishing should be fine. That legendary fish isn’t going to be caught by so easily, is it?
Once he got the item, he would give Little Jiao Huo so advice on how to get sothing else to win Immortal Bi You’s favor.
Choosing a good spot, Wang Mu didn’t even prepare bait; he just cast his line. The fishing line sank into the depths. A strange feeling transmitted from the line into his body.
Interesting, fishing underwater... Wang Mu found it quite fascinating.
He waited quietly. With his current Fishing Skill, basically, any fish that bit the line wasn’t going to escape. Even the slightest twitch of the float could tell him what kind of fish it was, provided he had caught it before.
I wonder if this special fishing spot will yield so unique fish?
He waited with a calm mind.
He didn’t sleep. Several hours passed before the fishing line twitched. Wang Mu began to pull the rod. With just a bit of force, Wang Mu felt that this fish was quite interesting; it didn’t swim away like other fish but instead swam towards him. Then, with a sudden turn of its head, it fiercely tugged on the rod and turned to swim back. It gave off a feeling of wanting to refuse yet yearning for more... Wang Mu actually felt as if he were fishing out a sense of romance.
Damn it, what the hell is this?
Wang Mu spent a good while struggling with the fish. It was only when it neared the surface that he abruptly pulled the rod.
A beautiful pink fish flew out from the Abyss Sea. The fish was truly gorgeous, with shimring green scales and fins as soft as jade; its species was unrecognizable. And it was only the size of a normal fish, exquisitely cute.
Wang Mu examined it. This... shouldn’t just be a Top-grade Fish Species, right? Eating this should increase charm, right? Improve my appearance?
In Anle Village, Wang Mu had never caught such a fish. Among Top-grade Fish Species, the rarest were those that could increase various talents, such as Sword Dao Talent.
Wang Mu thought to himself, Badass! Worthy of a hidden fishing spot. To catch such a fish on the first try... I’d better save it for later!
After his catch, Wang Mu pondered for a while, then cast his line again.
Little Jiao Huo, the self-appointed lookout, had long been perched on top of the light curtain, resting her chin in her hands and watching Wang Mu fish. Seeing Wang Mu catch a fish, she chuckled foolishly...
The next catch didn’t co until the third day, when Wang Mu landed another fish. This ti, it was a bright red fish with a tail like a long thread, very special.
By the looks of it, another rare, legendary fish species... Wang Mu observed it for a mont. He felt this fish bore a five to six out of ten resemblance to the Jinlong Carp he had seen before, only it was more beautiful. Tail red line... this fish couldn’t possibly increase Luck, could it?
A thought struck Wang Mu. This fish absolutely must not be kept! I must stow it away quickly!
"This place is truly mysterious!" Wang Mu exclaid.
In the following days, Wang Mu was completely imrsed in the new fishing spot. It had to be said, this place was very special. Fishing was extrely difficult, and it greatly impacted one’s spirit each ti. Sotis, one would even be pulled into a peculiar Illusion Realm. If one’s mind and spirit were even slightly weaker, one wouldn’t even see the shadow of a fish. Luckily, Wang Mu’s Fishing Skill was high enough.
Wang Mu also didn’t use any action points, because he was afraid that if he did, he might accidentally fish up that Linglong Bilateral Fish.
Ti flew by, and before he knew it, Wang Mu had been fishing for a month. He had only caught five fish: two of those pink ones that could increase charm and improve appearance, two that could increase Luck, and one was a Yin Yang goldfish, which, Wang Mu guessed, might slightly increase Qi Fortune if eaten. These were definitely exceptionally rare fish.
A month has passed, and it seems the fish are biting less frequently, Wang Mu mused. I’ve also almost run out of ti...
He glanced over. Little Jiao Huo had watched tirelessly for a month, her enthusiasm surprisingly high. Every ti she saw Wang Mu catch a fish, she was even happier than Wang Mu, as if she had caught it herself...
"Look, it’s been a month, and I still haven’t caught that Linglong Bilateral Fish..." Wang Mu said. "I have other things to do; I can only fish for a month. Besides, that Linglong Bilateral Fish you talked about should be a legendary Divine Fish. I’m probably not skilled enough to catch it."
"Ah?" Little Jiao Huo felt she hadn’t seen enough and pleaded from outside the light curtain, "One more ti? Just one last ti! If you still don’t catch it, then so be it. I have a premonition that you’re about to catch it."
"Really!"
Wang Mu thought to himself, You don’t know anything about fishing. What on earth kind of premonition could you have?
Still, since he had been fishing for a month, one last ti wouldn’t hurt.
Wang Mu returned to his original position, set up his stance as usual, and cast his line!
He closed his eyes, quietly waiting.
However, this ti, a fish took the bait very quickly. From the chasm, two dazzling lights even burst forth.
Wang Mu pulled, and his eyes suddenly opened wide.
Why does it feel like there are two fish? Wait, isn’t the Linglong Bilateral Fish supposed to be one fish with two bodies... Could Little Jiao Huo have been right?
Wang Mu wanted to slacken the line.
Quick, quick, unhook yourself and swim back!
However, the fish, biting the hook, jumped straight out from the chasm below...
