The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 24: Fishing for Dragons
He's a big guy!
Li Hao immediately realized from the huge struggling force that the thing in the water was not small. He was secretly afraid and did not dare to be careless. He did not pull the fishing line violently, which would easily cause the fish to be twisted and unhooked. Instead, he gently and orderly relaxed the line after tightening it, and then tightened it again!
In an instant, raging waves suddenly surged out from the dark and calm water surface. The surging waves were so huge that they were more than ten meters in diameter.

Li Hao could vaguely see a huge black shadow being gradually pulled out of the water and struggling violently close to the water surface.

The black shadow was ferocious and about seven or eight meters long. As it struggled, the splashes of water it created spread to farther places.

Li Hao tightened the fishing line and, using the same slow and tight method as before, dragged the huge black shadow slowly towards the shore.

The thing at the bottom of the water seemed to sense something and suddenly jumped out of the water, revealing a flat, huge fish head with a mouth full of sharp teeth, like countless sharpened bamboo thorns.

The emerald green eyes stared fiercely at Li Hao on the fishing platform. When it saw that he was just a child of seven or eight years old, the fierce light in the fish's eyes suddenly became angry.

"How dare you, ignorant boy, to fish for your catfish grandpa!"

This fish monster actually spoke in human language and made a sharp and piercing sound. Instead of continuing to struggle, it suddenly and rapidly swam towards the shore. The previously taut fishing line also loosened in the water in an instant.

"Look at me eating you!!"

The distance of hundreds of meters was rapidly shortened in the blink of an eye under the surging waves. The fish monster wanted to swallow Li Hao alive, so it jumped up and rushed towards the fishing platform about ten feet above the water.

As the fish demon came ashore, the words appeared in front of Li Hao:

[Fishing Experience +68]

[Fishing trail upgraded to level 1]

At the same time, many fishing techniques came to mind.

But Li Hao didn't have time to absorb and digest it at this moment. Instead, he suddenly tightened his scalp and focused his thoughts on the present.

The fishy and smelly strange mouth was so close that I could even see the trembling pink tender flesh in the fish monster's Adam's apple.

This was Li Hao's first time facing the enemy. He was secretly shocked and a little nervous at the same time, because the fish monster looked really ferocious, but fortunately, its movements were as slow as a turtle in his eyes.

In Tingyu Tower, he collected three books on body-building techniques just for cultivating eyesight.

Overlapping each other, finding out the gaps and filling them in, the vision is raised to an extremely high level, far beyond the level of Tongli.

At this moment, he bit the tip of his tongue and quickly calmed down. Then he turned sideways and bent over. Li Hao stretched out his hand, grabbed the sharp teeth of the fish monster, and then turned around and swung it out!

It all happened in an instant, and the whole action was done in one go.

With a loud bang, the fish monster crashed into the mountain dozens of meters away from the shore, and its tail slapped the ground hard, rolling over.

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

The fish demon was so stunned that he uttered such shocking words.

It twisted its belly slightly. Years of practice made it feel the shadow of death at this moment. The fair-skinned and tender child in front of it, about seven or eight years old, was too terrifying. He could not be a human being, but a descendant of some great demon.

When Li Hao heard the words of the fish monster, he was stunned and immediately laughed.

But in order to prevent the fish monster from using any tricks that he was not aware of, he decided to fight quickly and rushed out.

puff!
Suddenly, the fish monster's cheeks bulged up, and then a mouthful of black, smelly mud spurted out of its mouth as fast as a poisonous arrow.

Li Hao had been secretly on guard against unknown means. The moment he saw the black mud coming out, he suddenly twisted his feet and dodged. Then he exerted force with both feet and kicked hard to quickly close the gap.

"No, spare me..."

The fish monster was terrified and wanted to beg for mercy, but Li Hao's punch had already hit it on the head.

The terrifying shock force of the flesh alone made the fish monster tremble violently, and its skull caved in and shattered with a click. Green brain matter spurted out from it, and Li Hao didn't have time to dodge, so a lot of it splashed on his body.

A strong fishy smell came, making him feel a little nauseous.

No wonder the old man smells like fish. After years of fishing, this kind of thing is inevitable.

At this moment, the fish monster's tail was still shaking and hitting the ground, but it seemed to be just a nervous twitch, and the force was not as strong as before.

In order to prevent it from pretending to die, Li Hao punched it twice more. When a hole was smashed in the fish monster's head and its brains gushed out, he withdrew his punches and stepped back, leaving the fish monster.

He thought to himself that he would have to bring a sword with him next time he went fishing.

Otherwise, if you encounter a bigger and more powerful fish, you may end up becoming bait instead of fishing.

Of course, with Li Muxiu by his side, Li Hao will basically not be in any danger. Now the golden talisman given by the old man has not been triggered yet.

However, Li Hao did not like to rely on others for everything. After getting rid of the fish monster, Li Hao recalled the information in his mind. Many fishing skills emerged one by one, making him feel like he had been fishing on the shore for more than ten years.

Observing the water, measuring the line, hiding the hook, etc. ... Li Hao came to the fishing platform, tidied up the fishing rod and the tangled fishing line, and put the bait on the hook again, but this time his technique was more skillful. He rubbed and stroked the bait with his palm to make the bait wrap around the hook firmly.

Then he stared at the Black Lake. The originally dark lake had now undergone distinct changes in his eyes.

His eyes could see the slightest changes in the water flow, and could see seven or eight meters underwater. The ripples after the waves on the water surface subsided looked like some kind of pattern in his eyes, depicting the direction of the undercurrents beneath the water.

Through this undercurrent, Li Hao came to a conclusion that something was moving under the water at a distance.

After two big noises, there should be nothing left near this fishing platform, and all the heavy creatures at the bottom of the water have run away.

Li Hao had an idea and did not just cast the fishing rod and wait, but chose to take the initiative.

He walked along the shore with a pole in hand, glancing at the water from time to time. He could judge the direction of his prey by the undercurrent at the bottom of the water.

Soon, after walking about a kilometer, Li Hao stopped at a place that looked like the mouth of a bay. He chose a solid earth platform and chose to cast the rod.

This time, although he swung the rod with all his might, the strange thing was that when the heavy fish hook fell into the water, it only caused a small ripple, and did not make the previous ding-dong sound.

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

Li Hao squatted slightly and waited.

In just a few minutes, movement began to appear in the fish bladder.

Li Hao was not surprised. This hook was equivalent to directly delivering the bait to a place not far from the underwater guy, like delivering takeout to his door.

With a whoosh, the fish bladder was swallowed into the water. Haha, he is still an impatient guy.

Li Hao chuckled and lifted the rod suddenly. He felt a huge force at the end of the line, but Li Hao could sense and judge the struggle at the first moment. It was about two thousand pounds. It should be just a fish monster in the Tongli realm. Its intelligence has not yet been fully revealed. No wonder the movement caused underwater can be faintly seen from a thousand meters away.

He still chose to raise it again and pull it lightly.

The pole is then swung from side to side, and each tug makes the fish hook more secure and less likely to come off.

Soon, after walking for seven or eight minutes, Li Hao dragged the exhausted fish monster out of the lake.

[Fishing Experience +23]

The fish monster that came ashore pounced towards Li Hao ferociously, but was killed by one punch from him and thrown onto the hillside behind.

Then continue to bait and fish.

There are more underwater.

……

……

"This old dragon is quite cunning. He left no trace at all."

Above the Demon Lake, Li Muxiu's figure disappeared in the sky. He had no fishing rod in his hand, only an almost transparent line that sank vertically to the bottom of the water.

His fishing skills have long been mastered. He can sense the underwater situation through the movement of the line on the bottom of the water. This skill is no different from directly searching and spying on the bottom of the water with his soul.

He had laid out the line in a covert enough manner, and in the end the old dragon made no move.

The small fish monster that Li Hao had fished for previously was eaten by another fish monster. The big fish ate the small fish.

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

"Forget it. It seems that the old dragon should be sleeping soundly today. I wonder where it is hiding in this three thousand li black lake."

Li Muxiu shook his head slightly and glanced at the surging lake that stretched for thousands of miles and seemed to have no end in sight.

He sighed, reeled in the line, and pulled out a fish monster that was more than ten meters long and covered with spikes. It was the bait he used to catch the dragon.

At this moment, he flicked his finger, and the fish monster's body suddenly shrank and turned into a palm-length black-spotted small fish, which he threw into the fish basket.

"I don't know if that little guy has any results. Don't be impatient and don't catch any fish later."

Li Muxiu muttered to himself, picked up the fish basket, and flew back in the original direction.
