As the best harpooner in Billgewater, Pike has his own connections, which are not very high-level, but when it comes to fishing, Pike's connections are quite professional.

And Rod, on the other hand, because he knew nothing about fishing and sailing, simply handed everything over to Pike.

So, thanks to Pike's efforts, Rhodes quickly assembled a fleet - well, it's a bit of an inaccuracy to say that it was actually a large fishing boat and three small boats dedicated to loading prey.

(Although Rhodes only needs fish oil, the meat of the fish is also quite valuable, and he can't do it after killing the fish and throwing it back into the sea.) ）

Pike didn't reveal Rod's identity, because just by virtue of his identity as "Billgewater's strongest harpoonner", it was enough to pull up the fleet, so Rod simply played the role of a hands-off shopkeeper.

Pike moved quickly, and after preparing the necessary fresh water and food, four ships, one large and three small, set out early on the morning of the third day, and on this clear and breezy morning suitable for sailing, no one would notice the small fleet in busy Bilgewater.

"Set sail, set sail!"

After yelling, Rhodes lay down comfortably on the bench on the deck and poured himself a glass of magic water.

Flattered.

……………………

Life at sea is a big day, but it's actually boring – especially for a seafaring layman like Rhodes.

After the initial comfort, Rod finally felt a little itchy in his idle bones.

This voyage experience was different from the previous trip to Shadow Island, that time Rhodes had to make a humanoid torch in order to dispel the fog, although it was very hard, but at least there was something to do, but this time on the way to the deep sea, Rhodes had nothing to do at all.

(Previously, because they disliked the fishy ship, Anne and Jinx both chose to return to Fuguang Island early, so Rhodes only brought Cana.) ）

Now that he can't do magic experiments, he has no apprentices to teach, and Rhodes has almost nothing to do other than to give him Cana a dog food.

Bilgewater doesn't have any idiotic "women aren't allowed on board", but considering that the boat is full of single dogs, Rhodes is quite restrained - after all, Jana sometimes needs to summon the sea breeze to make the ship move faster, and it can be regarded as having her own mission.

So, the idle egg hurt Rhodes began his fishing career.

For the next ten days, Rhodes fished, but didn't catch a single fish from head to tail – and interestingly, Rhodes enjoyed it.

This "Fishing Method of Great Compassion" made Rod experience a long-lost, simple happiness, and he even sometimes thought "It would be nice if life went on like this".

Of course, Rhodes quickly dismissed the idea.

This is not Blue Star, not to mention the absconding Naga Kapolos, who knows if there will be a void invasion tomorrow or something, Rhodes doesn't want to regret not trying to improve himself when he really faces an emergency, that would be too stupid.

With Cana's help, the four ships sailed frighteningly fast, entering the deep sea northeast of Bilgewater in just ten days, and on the night of the tenth day, Pike checked the charts and the stars to finally confirm that the fleet had reached its destination.

The endless deep sea.

This is the edge of the Sea of Watch and the Sea of Conquest, an unknown region of Valoran, where few sapient beings have ever appeared except for the Bilgewaters.

According to Pike, underneath the Endless Deep Sea is the Abyssal Trench, which is also one of the places where the Kraken itself may exist in the legend of Naga Kapolos, and if it weren't for Rhodes, Pike would never have dared to come to the Endless Deep Sea to fish.

After all, no one knows what lies beneath the abyss of the endless deep sea.

The vast underwater space and the precipitation of years undisturbed by the millennium of reincarnation make everything in the deep sea seem so terrifying, and even Rhodes has to be cautious in the face of the endless deep sea.

The fish is a deep-sea fish in the offshore waters near Bilgewater, but it becomes a shallow fish in the endless deep sea.

It is for this reason that the key to catching a chorm has changed from "bait deep enough" to "bait not too deep".

Having taken out the rope he had prepared, a specific length, Pike made the bait with ease.

The stinking, bloody sea snake meat was processed into two-metre-long sections, coated with a secret medicine passed down from generations by harpooners, and thrown into the sea from a fixed place on the side of the side under the pull of a rope.

As the sea snake meat touched the water, Pike silently began the timer.

“1，2，3…… 27！ ”

When Pike counted to 27, the rope on the winch was at the end, and the next moment, he had enough strength to start pulling back the sea snake meat.

Soon, the sea snake meat was fished out of the water - the secret medicine had been dispersed into the sea, and the sea snake meat was intact.

Looking at the intact sea snake meat, Pike smiled.

If there are no small fish rushing to bite it, it means ...... Big fish are nearby.
