Chapter 149: Monster Grave, Spirit Fish on the Hook

The wind on the sea was wild.

But for Zheng Datong, it was nothing at all.

What really bothered him was the grave on "Ao Tou Island".

This grave was originally the burial ground of powerful Monster Race beings, and there were many rumors among the disciples of Spirit Turtle Island.

In addition, it was located in a remote area with no vegetation, and every time he came here, it sent chills down his spine.

Zheng Datong shivered and wanted to leave, but he thought about what Fu Ning had said, and couldn't help but grit his teeth: "I'll trust Junior Brother this time."

With that in mind, he reluctantly took out his fishing rod.

Splash~

Ripples appeared on the sea surface, but were soon covered by rolling waves.

There were disciples who didn't believe in superstitions who had come here to fish before, but they never came back again.

It was said that the Monster Qi emitted by the Monster Race in this grave could disperse the surrounding schools of fish.

After that, no one came again.

"Look over there, why would someone go fishing at a grave?"

"That place is said to be very ominous."

"Haha, wearing red clothes, must be a disciple of Red Mountain. Red Mountain disciples have always been peculiar."

"Wait, why does that figure look a bit like... Senior Brother Zheng?"

"It can't be, oh wait, it really is. Senior Brother Zheng is bowing his head."

...

Ao Tou Island itself was not big, and Zheng Datong's fishing spot was at the junction of the front and middle parts, the highest point of the terrain.

So the surrounding disciples could see it at a glance.

Listening to the constant whispers in his ears, Zheng Datong also felt embarrassed, but he cursed himself in his heart for listening to Junior Brother's words.

But now that the arrow was on the string, he had to shoot. If he left at this moment, he would truly become a laughingstock.

"I'll leave the rest to fate."

Zheng Datong sighed lightly, but he didn't hold much hope in his heart.

Every time the Spirit Turtle emerged from the water, it would attract schools of fish, but the possibility of catching a spiritual species of fish was very small.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Zheng Datong's heart tightened little by little.

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the sun gradually tilting westward, the sunlight was no longer scorching.

Zheng Datong's face turned ugly. While he was fishing, he would occasionally hear the laughter of others who had caught fish.

Looking at himself, he had only caught a few small miscellaneous fish in half a day. Not to mention spiritual species, he hadn't even seen a rare fish.

"This... forget it, I'll slip away when no one's paying attention."

Zheng Datong, after all, was a senior brother with some reputation on Red Mountain. The result of his harvest in the northern section of Ao Tou Island, where the fishing was best, was really embarrassing.

Just as he was about to come up with this idea, his fishing rod suddenly trembled.

"Hmm?"

"It can't be another miscellaneous fish, right?"

He squinted his eyes and suddenly his eyes brightened. It seemed that there was a black shadow flashing under the sea.

"It's not a miscellaneous fish!"

Zheng Datong immediately straightened his body, feeling a sense of relief.

The fishing rod that he had planned to put away was now tightly held in both hands.

His eyes fixed on the sea surface, where black feathers floated up and down.

Splash~

The feathers sank.

Zheng Datong also suddenly pulled both hands.

"There's something! There's a big catch!"

When he entered the island, he could lift a cauldron over his head, his strength was more than a thousand jin.

But at this moment, the heaviness in his hands seemed to have a faint sign of breaking free.

"This catch is definitely not a miscellaneous fish!"

Zheng Datong held the fishing rod tightly with both hands, exerting all his strength, refusing to let go.

"I've been frustrated all day, how could I let you slip away easily!"

"Get up!"

Splash~

As Zheng Datong pulled hard, the splashes on the water surface became even bigger.

This time he saw it clearly, it was a big fish.

There were black stripes on it!

"At least it's a treasure-level fish!"

Thinking of this, Zheng Datong was full of energy.

Up, down, up, down.

After several repetitions, the strength on the other end finally weakened a bit.

Zheng Datong understood that the most important thing in fishing was patience.

So he clenched his teeth and pulled with all his might.

About the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn.

Splash~

The sound of breaking water came, and the fish finally ran out of strength and showed its head from the sea.

Zheng Datong acted quickly and used all his strength.

"Pull!"

The fishing rod was pulled back suddenly, and the big fish was finally pulled out of the water.

But in the next moment, a glimmer of light flashed.

Whoosh~

Before Zheng Datong could see the appearance of the fish clearly, that glimmer of light broke through the surface of the sea and rushed into the sky.

Spirit fish, naturally spectacular.

When they come out of the water, they easily cause innate wonders.

Zheng Datong stood still in place.

...

"!! There's a glimmer! That is... a Spirit Fish on the hook!"

"Spirit Fish out of the water, we've caught a Spirit Fish!"

Someone shouted.

In an instant, all the disciples around turned their heads.

You should know that Spirit Fish rarely appear, let alone being caught on a fishing rod.

And every time a Spirit Fish comes out of the water, not only is there a chance to trigger a wonder, but also because Spirit Fish itself is an extremely important material.

If they could find a Scenic Scholar who has evolved the ability to tame beasts and tame this fish, it might add another wonder to Spirit Turtle Island!

So when they heard that a Spirit Fish was caught, everyone turned their heads.

"That direction... Zheng Senior Brother? How is that possible!"

"The burial ground of the Monster Race, isn't it contaminated by Monster Qi and the fish population extinct? How is it possible to have a Spirit Fish?"

"Did you see that? The glimmer rising from the sea, it must be an extraordinary Spirit Fish."

While everyone was discussing, the light on the sea had grown to more than three feet.

But it seemed that this was the limit of the glimmer.

Soon, the glimmer not only stopped growing, but began to descend.

Seeing this, Zheng Datong was first happy, but then his face tightened.

He was happy that he had caught a Spirit Fish.

But he worried that since this fish was a Spirit Fish, it must have a natural Divine Ability and would definitely resist strongly.

Sure enough, the next moment, the sound of water friction suddenly came from the sea.

Splash~

In an instant, the seawater suddenly rose into the air, turning completely ink green, and in the middle of the seawater, there was a large fish with black scales floating.

Whoosh~

The fish's mouth was hooked by the fishing hook, but its tail was still moving freely.

In the next moment, the splashing waves turned into a series of fish scale-shaped Qi, all attacking towards Zheng Datong's direction.

But Zheng Datong had long been prepared, and a shadow of a Fire Maple Tree appeared behind him.

The maple leaves fell one after another, forming a curtain of fire in front of him.

Just in time to block the oncoming fish scale attacks.

One person and one fish fought against each other across half of the void.

After the time it takes for a cup of tea, the Spirit Fish first exhausted its strength from being pulled by the fishing rod, and then exhausted its Origin Qi in the battle against Zheng Datong.

Finally, it was forcefully pulled ashore.

"Did it? Did I catch a Spirit Fish?"

Zheng Datong was stunned for a moment, and then he saw the full appearance of this fish clearly.

This Spirit Fish was over three feet long, with a black head and scales on its body, and only its belly was pure white.

As it exhausted its Origin Qi, its belly was still bulging.

Seeing this, Zheng Datong couldn't help but smile foolishly and said, "Haha, little junior brother, I didn't deceive you!"
