35: Chapter 35: To catch a lot of fish, you must use a heavy baiting area!

Wu Wen rowed his small boat, traveling on the sea surface.

"After the Rongxiao and Dragon Kun finish fighting, it is the time for the Crimson Molten Beast to come out. Although they do not have the powerful strength of the Dragon Kun, they can still affect the temperature of a small patch of seawater."

While speaking, Wu Wen rowed the boat to an area where the seawater was boiling hot; the water temperature was over a hundred degrees. Wu Wen pointed to the seawater below and said,

"Brother Hu, based on my experience, there must be a Crimson Molten Beast below!"

"Awoo~" (Then why don't you start fishing?)

"No rush. If you don't lay a nest when fishing, you won't catch much!"

Wu Wen said, imparting his experience to Lu Hu as someone who had been there before,

"Hunting the Crimson Molten Beast is the same as fishing; if you want to catch more, you must lay a heavy nest!"

After finishing, Wu Wen cut the venison that had been soaked in blood essence water into pieces.

"These Crimson Molten Beasts are all in the sea, and they eat seafood their whole lives. Land food is rare for them. Plus, it has been soaked in blood essence; although it doesn't have much energy, it has the taste of blood essence, and combined with being land-based fresh food, the temptation of this venison to the Crimson Molten Beast is… tsk tsk…"

Wu Wen threw the venison into the sea piece by piece. The moment the venison entered the water, the bloody smell quickly dispersed and permeated the seabed.

While talking, Wu Wen had already used half of the venison to lay the nest.

"You have to give to get. If you aren't willing to lay a nest, how can you attract the Crimson Molten Beasts to gather?"

Lu Hu looked toward the seabed. He could perceive that there were indeed two Crimson Molten Beasts wandering on the seabed, but he didn't know if they came because of the smell of the venison.

Wu Wen put his hand into the seawater to feel the temperature and nodded, saying, "At this water temperature, the Crimson Molten Beasts below should be coming up!"

Crimson Molten Beasts generally live on the seabed thousands of meters deep, occasionally appearing on the surface.

Now that he was using the soaked venison as bait, although it hadn't lured the Crimson Molten Beasts to the surface, they had risen quite a bit, moving at a depth of about a thousand meters on the seabed.

At this distance, it was time to start fishing!

Wu Wen picked up the fishing rod, hung a piece of venison on the two-meter-long hook, and took out a blood essence pill, using a needle to pierce a small hole and stuff it into the venison.

"One, two… go!"

Wu Wen held the hook and swung it hard, landing it on the sea surface a hundred meters away.

Splash!

Subsequently, the fishing line reel spun rapidly, and the hook Wu Wen threw sank rapidly.

The fishing line was pulled for a very long time, and it was only when half of the line had been let out that Wu Wen stopped releasing it.

"Awoo~" (How long is this line?)

Lu Hu asked curiously.

"Two thousand meters!"

Wu Wen sighed, "I searched for three years and only found that one Silver-Devouring Gold-Eating Silkworm. After feeding it ten silver mines, the mithril it spat out was only enough to make these two fishing lines and one fishing net."

Wu Wen appeared humble but was actually showing off. The Silver-Devouring Gold-Eating Silkworm feeds on gold and silver, and the silk it spits out is extremely sharp, capable of easily cutting through swords and blades. A silk thread just a bit thicker than a hair can support a thousand catties of weight.

The toughness is unimaginable!

If the silk of the Silver-Devouring Gold-Eating Silkworm were obtained by other Grandmasters or masters, they would definitely use it to craft handy weapons or life-saving armor.

And him using it to make fishing lines and nets—how is that not a form of wealth!

Unfortunately, Wu Wen chose the wrong target to show off to. Lu Hu wouldn't marvel at the preciousness of a Silver-Devouring Gold-Eating Silkworm.

The attraction was not even as great as the number "two thousand meters."

Such a long fishing line was a bit outrageous for his past life, but considering the giant beasts of this world, having such fishing lines and hooks was also very reasonable.

Then, Lu Hu also cast his fishing line. One man and one tiger sat on either side of the bow, holding their fishing rods, quietly fishing.

The sea surface rippled slightly, and the black seawater was deathly silent. Lu Hu's eyelids were slowly closing.

"Awoo~~"

"Brother Hu, don't be so anxious. You must have patience!"

"Awoooo~"

"Brother Hu, it's not that easy for the Crimson Molten Beast to bite the hook. I have been in the Cold Sea for sixty years and have only caught eighteen Crimson Molten Beasts. If you could catch one so quickly, that would be outrageous!"

...

Lu Hu felt that fishing was quite fun, but the premise of fun was catching a fish.

If he sat here bored all day without any movement, Lu Hu felt it was a kind of torture.

"Awoo~" (I think the Crimson Molten Beast below has already left!)

Wu Wen touched the water temperature, "They have left, but this nest has been laid. There will definitely be more Crimson Molten Beasts coming. Brother Hu, you must have patience!"

I have patience, my foot!

I've been waiting for a whole day!

Lu Hu was speechless, but still held a trace of expectation, calmed his heart, and continued to fish.

Time gradually slipped away. A wave several dozen meters high rolled over. In the distance, a small boat sailed over. On the boat was an old man in black, rowing with one hand and holding a fishing net with the other.

Behind him, a Crimson Molten Beast similar to a sea snake, over thirty meters long, floated on the sea surface, its mouth corner pierced by a hook several meters long!

This was not a sea snake; it was just that its body was too thick. With a body length of over thirty meters and a body diameter of five meters, it was better described as a gas canister than a snake.

"Haha~~ Old Wu, did you catch anything!"

The old man in black dragged the big sea snake to the front of the man and the tiger, intentionally or unintentionally tugging on the net in his hand. The big sea snake floating on the sea surface behind him moved weakly twice.

Wu Wen didn't speak.

"Luck is not bad, caught a small fish!"

The old man in black pointed to the big sea snake. Wu Wen still didn't speak, focusing intently on his fishing line.

"It's only thirty-five meters long!"

"Fifty tons, I'll have to go back and weigh it properly!"

"It had quite a lot of strength when it was hooked; I was almost dragged into the sea. I reckon it must have eaten a lot of blood essence."

"Oh~~ It didn't take much effort; I just started fishing, and it bit the hook!"

...

The old man in black talked to himself a lot, while Wu Wen seemed not to hear him, focusing on fishing.

The old man in black turned to look at Lu Hu and cupped his fists, "I am Yu De. What is this friend's surname?"

Lu Hu looked down. Why is the water of this Cold Sea so black?

"Ahem~~"

Yu De coughed twice. The man and the tiger did not speak. After a long while, Yu De helplessly left with the big sea snake.

"Pah! What is there to show off about, old thing? Watch me catch a bigger one and make you die of envy!"

Wu Wen spat, looked at the sea surface suspiciously, and muttered in a low voice, "Why isn't there even a temperature change in the seawater? Is the nest not laid well?"

Lu Hu stared at Yu De's receding figure, stroking his tiger whiskers, thoughtful.

But looking at Yu De's smug appearance and Wu Wen's unconvinced reaction,

It could be seen that that big sea snake was considered a not-so-small harvest for Grandmasters like Wu Wen.

But a sea snake of over thirty meters could not even be ranked in front of the group of Crimson Molten Beasts in the ten-thousand-meter deep sea.

Lu Hu felt itchy; he really couldn't stand Yu De's smug look.

Glancing at Wu Wen, who was still expecting the Crimson Molten Beast to take the bait, Lu Hu began to reel in his line.

"Brother Hu, what are you doing?"

Wu Wen was puzzled. Was this giving up?

"Awoo~~" (You are right, if you want to catch more, you must lay a heavy nest!)

Lu Hu agreed with what Wu Wen said. Only by laying a heavy nest could he attract prey. If no prey came, it must be that the nest was not laid well enough, and not enough bait was used.

A piece of venison was just one bite for a Crimson Molten Beast; cutting it into pieces was just filling the gaps between its teeth.

Too little!

After the fishing line was retrieved, Lu Hu discarded the venison stuffed with the blood essence pill on the hook.

He moved his claws and took out a tiny green seed.

A spirit ginseng seed. Although it was just a seed, it was a genuine spiritual object, containing pure spiritual energy.

Lu Hu put on a new piece of venison and hung the spirit ginseng seed on it, breaking the skin of the seed so the contained pure spiritual energy leaked out in wisps.

Lu Hu cast the rod casually, the hook sinking beside the boat.

This time, Lu Hu was full of confidence. He didn't believe that he wouldn't catch a fish using a spirit ginseng seed.

To make the Crimson Molten Beast take the bait faster, Lu Hu flicked his tiger tail, and then it fell into the sea. Spiritual power flowed through his tail into the seabed, dispersing in the sea.

Lu Hu had eaten too much Ginseng, causing his own spiritual power to carry pure primordial qi, which was a super supplement!

After a while, the Crimson Molten Beasts in the nearby deep sea seemed to feel the energy full of temptation, just like the blood essence, and rushed over one after another, rising and charging toward the sea surface.

Gurgle~~

"The water temperature is rising. Fish are coming, fish are coming!"

The characteristics of the arrival of the Crimson Molten Beast were very obvious. The rise in water temperature meant there were Crimson Molten Beasts below. This time, the water temperature was so high that it was very likely that the Crimson Molten Beast below was not in a deep position.

Wu Wen was invigorated, holding his breath and concentrating, true energy surging, ready to wrestle with the Crimson Molten Beast at any time.

The seawater boiled, and the waves rolled. Wu Wen became nervous, always feeling that something was not quite right.

"Awoo!" (The goods are here!)

Lu Hu was excited, his ears standing up!

Seeing Lu Hu's excited appearance, Wu Wen felt slightly relieved. With two Grandmasters here, what big problem could there be!

The seawater bubbled, and a touch of red seemed to appear on the seabed. Wu Wen knew that the Crimson Molten Beast below was still wandering and hadn't bitten the hook.

Gurgle~~

The water temperature was getting higher and higher, and the red touch in the seawater was gradually becoming larger. Wu Wen felt something was wrong; this Crimson Molten Beast didn't look like it was going to bite the hook, but rather was coming up.

"Brother Hu, get ready. I feel it's going to take a lot of effort!"

"I will cast the net, and you guard against it so it doesn't run away."

Wu Wen hung the fishing rod on the side of the boat and picked up the fishing net on the boat. The Crimson Molten Beast didn't bite the hook but was coming up. Next, if he wanted to catch it, he could only see if this net could catch the Crimson Molten Beast.

The red color became larger and larger. Vaguely, Wu Wen seemed to see a giant red beast rising in a straight line, and the target seemed to be his boat.

How could a boat have attraction?

The bait was clearly on the hook, and his hook was a hundred meters away. The Crimson Molten Beast's target was not his hook.

Wu Wen looked at Lu Hu and couldn't help being speechless.

"Is your hook right below?"

"Awoo!"

It turned out it was going to bite Brother Hu's bait, and since Brother Hu's bait was directly below the boat, the Crimson Molten Beast looked like it was going to eat his boat.

"The sea temperature is so high; it must be a big one!"

Wu Wen said, his eyes fixed on the sea surface, ready to witness the Crimson Molten Beast taking the bait with his own eyes.

It was just that what made him feel strange was that the figure of the Crimson Molten Beast was getting larger and larger, as if the depth it was at was already within a thousand meters.

"Brother Hu, how long a line did you let out?"

"Awoo~" (Just about ten meters or so.)

"Oh~~ Hmm? What!!!"

Wu Wen stood up abruptly, his shocked eyes almost popping out!

Ten meters or so; how was this any different from the bait being on the boat?

So, his boat had become the bait!

So that Crimson Molten Beast under the sea...

"Quick, release the line!!"

Wu Wen shouted, decisively urging his true energy to move the small boat.

But how fast was that Crimson Molten Beast under the sea? As soon as the boat moved, a scorching hot aura rose rapidly.

The behemoth below could already be seen clearly. It was a dark red giant, and the head alone was dozens of meters wide!

It was about to approach the sea surface, and its mouth, like an abyss, slowly opened.

Wu Wen even looked back. He still had the idea of capturing this Crimson Molten Beast, but after seeing the other party's size, Wu Wen was so scared that his soul was about to jump out.

It was definitely a Grandmaster-level Crimson Molten Beast. This mouth could even swallow him and the boat without a problem!

"Run!"

Why catch it? Run for your life!

"Awoo!" (What are you running for? Quickly cast the net!)

Lu Hu roared, the prey had arrived, what was there to run from!

Lu Hu snatched the fishing net, calm and collected, waiting for the Crimson Molten Beast under the sea to come up.
