Chapter 459 Fishing Rod
"Senior sister, I've brought the things over."
At this moment, Fang Yu came out of the cabin and waved his hand, and a row of long and thick fishing rods appeared on the deck.
Aunt Yun smiled and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother Fang."
"How could we dare? The Fang family has received many years of favors from the sect, so this little matter is no problem for us."
Aunt Yun nodded and looked at everyone, saying, "The Fang family, like the Liu family of Sanyang Island, is a family of weapon refiners. The fishing gear we're using this time was also made by the Fang family, and its strength is quite impressive."
After saying that, Aunt Yun stood up, picked up a fishing rod, and said, "This rod is called a fishing rod. It is specially used for fishing for sea creatures. Whether it is a small fish weighing a few hundred pounds or a giant fish weighing a hundred thousand pounds, you need to use a fishing rod to pull it up."
After speaking, she took out a bundle of gold thread and a huge silver hook as long as an arm. After tying the thread together, she hung a piece of minced meat on it, poured her true energy into it, and threw it with her right hand.
The fishing rod suddenly grew thicker and longer, casting the hook far out.
A moment later, the fishing rod made a strange noise and then suddenly bent down.
Aunt Yun lifted her hand, and a small shark weighing nearly a thousand pounds was easily flown up and landed on the deck, thrashing about.
Everyone was stunned.
That's way too easy!
Why do you get fish every time you cast your line?
Aunt Yun smiled and said, "The use of a fishing rod is very ingenious. It's not just about strength. You need to control your inner energy while casting the rod so that the hook is accurately cast to your target position. Of course, the combination of fishing rod, fishing line and bait is also very important. The most crucial thing is to find the fish."
She handed the fishing rod to a disciple of the Lotus Realm and said, "Give it a try."
The disciple was full of confidence; fishing was a piece of cake for him.
He immediately extended his senses to accurately detect the school of fish, and then cast his line with a sudden motion.
The fishing rod was thrown a step too slowly and didn't reach its maximum length immediately, but it still landed in roughly the same spot.
Unfortunately, Ye Kang, Chu Fanjiang, and the others all shook their heads silently.
No more fishing.
This guy was so focused on where the fish were that he neglected the size of the hook.
What's the point of casting an arm-length fishing hook into a school of tiny fish weighing dozens of kilograms?
Sure enough, after a while, the hook was kept being bumped around, but there was no bite.
The disciple's face turned green; he wished he could disappear into somewhere.
Aunt Yun tapped him on the head and said, "See? This is not a simple matter. But there's no need to worry. Various materials will be prepared on-site tomorrow. You can mix and match them freely according to your own ideas."
After saying that, she took out all the fishing lines and hooks for everyone to practice with.
The big, dark-skinned Zhang Cheng stood with Ye Kang. He said with a bitter face, "What should we do? I've never fished before, and now I have to come to participate in this kind of event. Junior brother, do you have any tips to share?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang smiled wryly and said, "I don't know either, but I guess this competition isn't just about fishing skills, it's also about individual ability."
"How to say?"
"It's a very simple principle: if you're strong, you can spot the prey before others, and you can also prevent others from catching the fish. There must be some kind of battle involved; it's not that simple."
Upon hearing this, those around him nodded in agreement.
"Junior Brother Ye is right. In the end, we'll probably have to resort to fists to solve the problem."
"But if I can't catch a single fish, am I supposed to just steal from others?" Zhang Cheng said somewhat embarrassedly.
At this moment, Fang Yu, who had been watching the scenery from the side, revealed a mysterious smile.
"Oh dear, actually I participated in the Fishing for Giant Turtle Competition back then, so I have some experience. Unfortunately, no one is willing to learn from me, so all that experience has been wasted."
As soon as he said this, everyone surrounded him.
"Uncle-Master Fang Yu, you should have said so earlier! Can you really catch a giant turtle with this thing?"
Fang Yu raised an eyebrow: "Of course you can, but ordinary bait will definitely not work. Back in the day, I caught a 50,000-jin long-snout fish by relying on my exclusive secret recipe."
Fang Yu tossed her hair, looking as if reminiscing about the past.
A girl immediately asked, "Could Uncle Fang tell us the secret recipe?"
Fang Yu smiled mysteriously, waved his hand and took out a jar. When the lid was lifted, a stench immediately swept across the entire ship, and everyone turned pale and covered their noses.
Fang Yu said confidently, "If you don't bait the spot when fishing, you won't catch many fish. Just boil corn in cow dung and the big fish in the spot will be so big they'll be crammed together."
"Holy crap! What kind of weird bait is this?! Uncle Fang, are you serious?!"
"Of course, I guarantee you'll pull the rod until your hands cramp."
As he spoke, Fang Yu took out another bunch of jars and distributed a portion of corn boiled with cow dung to everyone.
They looked at each other, and each saw a deep suspicion in the other's eyes.
Won't the referee force me to leave the field if I use this thing to bait the ground?
……
The bait was just a minor incident; at least Fang Yu was truly familiar with the fishing rod. After some instruction, everyone mastered the basic usage and practiced on their own.
Soon, a day and a night had passed.
Ye Kang deliberately went into the cabin alone, waiting for the final moment of the demon furnace's refining process.
【Ding】
The Demon Forge has successfully refined the man-eating demon: Little Leopard King.
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained 3800 Demon Blood Crystals and 1 Demon Blood Core from the Divine Sea Realm]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained 1 mutated pelt and two large buckets of demon blood essence from the Divine Sea Realm]
[Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Demon Body Refining Technique: Peerless Leopard Transformation Technique]
[Peerless Leopard Transformation: The innate technique of a mutated leopard demon after awakening its bloodline, which can enhance physical attributes on the spot, making it stronger the longer it fights, and greatly amplifying its blood and qi power]
[The host can use 4000 demon blood crystals to directly comprehend the Peerless Leopard Transformation Technique to its Great Perfection.]
【Ding】
[Congratulations, host! After 1500 years of torment, you have successfully subdued the Little Leopard King's spirit.]
……
Ye Kang did not hesitate and chose to subdue him directly.
The little leopard king immediately appeared before him, kneeling down with utmost devotion and saying, "Shadow, greetings to my lord."
"Your name is Shadow?"
"Yes, my name is Youying, but because my brother is stronger than me, the demon kings call me Little Leopard King."
"I see. Who is your elder brother?"
"The Third Cave, Thunder Shadow Leopard King."
Ye Kang nodded, as if he vaguely remembered him. He was said to be a ruthless character, whether dealing with humans or demons.
Ye Kang had no further questions and sent Youying into the deduction space as well.
As soon as they entered, Biyue revealed a knowing smile: "Little Leopard King, I wasn't wrong, was I? Now you know what I meant by a thousand years, right?"
The little leopard king glanced at him disdainfully: "I submit to the supreme master. What are you to dare speak to me like that?"
"You! Don't you understand the concept of first come, first served? I am the master's first demon pillar, so show me some respect!"
Seeing that the spirits couldn't stand each other, Ye Kang immediately stepped forward and angrily rebuked the ministers.
Seeing that they had calmed down, Ye Kang sighed.
"Now we're in a bind. One is a bear demon, the other a leopard demon. Which demon pillar should we upgrade first?"
