Chapter 285: The Big Fish Takes the Bait
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look away, and then they saw Dongfang Xiuzhe squatting down, looking at the fishing rod that had fallen on the deck.
"That's right, this fishing rod is indeed made of dark iron!"
The old captain smiled and cast an approving glance at Dongfang Xiuzhe.
"Hey, why does this fishing rod seem to have something else?"
Dongfang Xiuzhe's brows furrowed, and he was surprised to find that there were dozens of magic arrays distributed on this small fishing rod, and their complexity and precision were beyond imagination.
This is really strange, a fishing rod made of dark iron essence is enough waste, and with so many complex magic arrays, it is clear that it is more than just a fishing tool.
"This fishing rod was given to me by a strange man, and it has been more than ten years now. The old captain walked over as he spoke.
"Weirdos?
Dongfang Xiuzhe was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously.
"Well, that's a man who dares to venture out into the sea on a raft tied together with a few logs, and when I met him, I was in a storm......"
The old captain said as he reminisced.
Everyone listened quietly, and if what the old captain said was true, then the strange man must be a strong master.
"That strange man told me that if anyone could successfully catch a big fish four meters long with this rod, he could give it to him!" said the old captain after a pause, then laughing, "but after all these years, there are not many people who can pick it up, let alone catch such a big fish with it." ”
You know, fishing doesn't mean that you throw a hook into the water and the fish catches it, you may have to wait a long time. And this time is still unknown.
Even if someone could pick it up. But how long can it last?
Several sailors laughed along. They took out the rod, firstly, to adjust the atmosphere, and secondly, to help the rod find its owner.
Not only this time, but basically every time there was a stranger on board. They'll all take out the rod and let everyone try it.
This kind of behavior of theirs can be regarded as the tacit approval of the old captain!
"Is it true that if you catch a big fish with it, you can own it?"
Dongfang Xiuzhe's eyes lit up suddenly. Although he didn't like this fishing rod, he would still try to get this kind of good thing that could be obtained for free.
In addition, he was very curious about the magic array inside the fishing rod and wanted to study it in detail.
Faced with Dongfang Xiuzhe's question, the old captain couldn't help laughing, and said after a long time: "That's right, but it's ......"
Before he could finish his words, he came to an abrupt end.
Basically, all the sound stopped at this moment.
Everyone's eyes widened. Extremely surprised, he looked at Dongfang Xiuzhe who picked up the fishing rod from the deck.
"Well, it does weigh a few thousand pounds!"
Dongfang Xiuzhe didn't care about the strange eyes that everyone looked at him. Said to himself.
"God, I read that right, you...... You can even hold this rod?"
A sailor exclaimed.
He couldn't be blamed for being so surprised, because among the crowd, Dongfang Xiuzhe was the youngest, and everyone knew that this young man was an apprentice of the Murong faction, which meant that he was a magician.
Isn't it surprising enough that a magician picks up a fishing rod that is difficult for even a fighter to handle?
Even the old captain, who had seen a lot of the world, stood there motionless with his eyes wide at this time.
"This can't be, how is this possible!"
Yu Xuan looked at the young man in front of him with frightened eyes, he really couldn't accept this fact, even the fishing rod that he picked up with great difficulty, why was this young man extremely relaxed?
What exactly did he use?
Yu Xuan circled around Dongfang Xiuzhe, but he didn't see anything.
"You...... How did you do that?"
Yu Xuan asked with a trembling voice.
At this time, he was even more surprised to find that the young man in front of him did not use a trace of fighting energy or magic power when he picked up this fishing rod.
That is to say, he relied on his strength to pick up the fishing rod, which weighed more than 5,000 catties.
What an incredible thing.
Dongfang Xiuzhe glanced up at Yu Xuan, but asked rhetorically, "Is it difficult to pick it up?"
This sentence made Yu Xuan feel the urge to commit suicide by jumping into the sea, what is called "difficult", it is simply super difficult.
He really doesn't know if this teenager is deliberately angry with him, or if his brain is dull, doesn't he know that it is impossible for normal people to have such strength?
Actually, he thought a little too much, for Dongfang Xiuzhe, there was really no difficulty in picking up this fishing rod, you must know that the giant hammer he used weighed tens of thousands of catties, compared to it, this fishing rod was much lighter.
"It's incredible," the old captain finally recovered from his shock, "little brother, you really opened my eyes!"
"So, can I use it for some fishing now?"
Dongfang Xiuzhe asked lightly.
On the fishing rod, there is a closed hinge, and the fishing line extends from this hinge to the top, and it can be seen that the fishing line is as thick as a little finger, which should also be special.
According to the old captain's relays of the strange man's words, this fishing rod can catch hundreds of thousands of pounds of big fish.
With a flick of the arm, the lure on the hook is thrown away, and the friction of the rotating shaft can be clearly heard.
At this time, everyone gathered around curiously, and their attention was not on the surface of the sea, but on the slender arm of Dongfang Xiuzhe holding the fishing rod.
Who would have thought that such a slender arm could swing such a heavy fishing rod, if it wasn't for seeing it with his own eyes, it is estimated that he would not believe it.
Time passed little by little, but there was no movement in the fishing line.
There is no float in this kind of sea fishing rod, and if you want to know whether there is a fish hooked, it all depends on the vibration of the fishing line and the rotation of the rotating shaft.
The sea breeze carried the smell of moisture and blew constantly, and above the sky, white clouds and sunlight cast on the sea, like a large piece of gold glowing.
After waiting for so long, everyone couldn't help but have the same question: Isn't this young man's arm not sour at all?
Is that really a human arm?
The old captain couldn't help but ask, "Xiuzhe, how do you feel?"
Dongfang Xiuzhe replied without looking back: "Well, I feel a little hungry!"
Old Captain: "......"
After waiting patiently, there was finally movement, first the line swayed, and then the reels began to make a harsh grinding sound, like an alarm.
"A fish has been hooked, a fish has been hooked!"
"Pull it up!"
At this time, everyone couldn't help but shout.
A fish more than half a meter long jumped out of the water, but strangely, Dongfang Xiuzhe did not pull it up, but let it jump into the sea again.
At the same time, let the hooked fish swim wildly.
"Hey, why don't you pull the fish up?" asked one of the sailors curiously.
"Only by using fish as bait can you catch bigger fish!" replied Dongfang Xiuzhe.
A long time passed, but there was no big fish on the fish, and everyone gradually lost their patience, sat under the shade umbrella, and rested.
However, their eyes were still aimed at the edge of the deck from time to time, and Dongfang Xiuzhe was staring intently at the sea.
"Hey, that boy, his strength is really terrifying, how long has passed, you look at him, he doesn't feel tired at all, I start to wonder if it's the fishing rod we took out of the warehouse. ”
"But no, if it were me, I would have fallen to the ground tired, but that young man seems to be a nobody, his strength is too terrifying, you look closely, his breathing has not changed in the slightest, proving that this fishing rod is nothing in his hands at all. ”
"I care more about his concentration, you see, after so much time, even us sailors have lost patience, but he still maintains a high degree of concentration, this boy should be an excellent hunter when he grows up!"
"Do you still need to grow up, I think this young man's current strength should be terrifying, although I know that he is a magician, but I think if I fight him at close range, the end will definitely be miserable!"
Several sailors nodded in unison, and they agreed with the statement.
"I'm more curious now, why isn't there this boy among the players who participated in the academy competition this time, if he is in the competition, I dare to guarantee that our 'Tieqin Empire' will definitely raise his eyebrows. ”
"If this teenager participates, even if I am absent from work, I will go to the scene to support him!"
"I'm really looking forward to that day, I guess I'll have to wait until the next house tournament!"
Just as the conversation began to move away from the conversation, the entire hull suddenly shook slightly.
"Boom!"
Near-then, a loud noise came from the sea, and when everyone stood up to look, they saw only a huge splash of water, and a huge fishtail that had just submerged in the water.
"Oh my God, what kind of fish is that, it's so big!"
The sailors all ran to the side of the ship at once, and at this time they saw that the outer ring line in Dongfang Xiuzhe's hand collapsed tightly, and swayed from side to side very sharply.
Don't......
The sailors were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other, and already had some kind of guess in their minds.
At this moment, the hull shook again.
This time, the sailors saw it clearly, because the young man in front of him had to stabilize his body and put his feet firmly on the deck.
If it weren't for the protective magic array on the deck, it would have been crushed by this young man a long time ago.
"What's wrong, what's going on?"
The old captain ran out of the studio again, presumably sensing the shaking of the ship, and came out to see what was going on.
Before anyone could answer him, there was another loud bang above the sea.
"Boom!"
Immediately after, a large fish more than ten meters long jumped out of the water...... (To be continued.) )
