Chapter 2: Hunting Dragon's Head Reef
Heaven and earth are invisible, the sea is boiling, lightning splits from time to time, and there are fierce beasts that usually lie dormant at the bottom of the sea, diving to the surface of the sea to make waves.
In such bad weather, it is extremely dangerous to go to sea, and the larger the ship, the deeper it goes, the easier it is to become the target of sea beasts.
But Ye Qing can't care so much, he doesn't want to live like this.
Ye Qing has been there countless times in the past five years, and Qing has long been familiar with everything there. Even if he encountered such bad natural weather, as long as he did not encounter big waves and large sea beasts, Ye Qing would be confident to arrive.
Although the rain is fierce today, there is no wind and waves on the sea, and there will be no large sea beasts in the shallow sea.
Relying on his sense of direction and skillful swinging skills, it took twice as long as usual for Ye Qing to finally come here.
The distant and ethereal sound of silk and bamboo came from the sea, and even the torrential rain like fried beans could not be concealed.
"Ah...... Pander to...... Sneeze!"
Ye Qing, who sneezed violently, rubbed his nose, which was red from the cold. I can't help but be too thin, and I've been in the rainstorm for so long, and now there are signs of a cold.
But for now, all of this has to be forgotten, and it is important to grasp the red golden duck.
Under the heavy rain, Ye Qing solemnly took out the sackcloth that had already been soaked in the rain from his arms. The package was opened, revealing a large fishhook with a thumb-thick chain attached to it. and a yo-yo-sized, turquoise soft-tissue object carefully wrapped in oiled paper.
The fish hook was specially built by Ye Qing for five hundred dollars to find a blacksmith, and in order to prevent the rope from being bitten, Ye Qing also specially asked the blacksmith to create an anti-bite iron chain.
This is Ye Qing's plan - fishing for red golden catfish.
The red golden cat's scaly skin is unusually hard, but even if it is invulnerable on the outside, it still has soft meat in its mouth. And the more ferocious the fish, the more disadvantage it has - it swallows very deeply.
After the skillful bolt hook was tied to the anchor rope, Ye Qing took out a green shrimp with chopsticks long and jumping around from the fish basket on the side of the hanging boat, which was covered with snake-like patterns.
This is a snake shrimp, which is extremely delicious, and it is also the favorite food of the red golden catfish.
Before crossing, Ye Qing liked to go out to fish in his spare time. If Ye Qing is given a Dawa or Sinomalua rod and a wheel line, even if the Red Golden Owl grows the right wings, Ye Qing will have the confidence to get it.
But there was nothing here, so Ye Qing had to rely on his own experience to make his own fishing group.
Shrimp are easy to die when they are hooked, and they cannot swim to attract fish. Ye Qing chose to use a sewing thread to carefully tie the snake shrimp to the hook.
The hook is J-shaped and curved, and the tip of the hook that is carefully tied is hidden in the snake and shrimp tongs, which is easy to overlook.
The last step is also the most important step.
Upper poison sac.
The red golden owl has infinite strength, and sings in estrus, which means that the red golden owl has entered adulthood. If you rely on the hook, I am afraid that when the time comes, the struggle after the bite of the red golden owl will be able to overturn the boat.
The yo-yo-sized turquoise soft tissue in his hand is the venomous sac of a more common sea snake in this sea area, the green-scaled sea snake.
The venom of the green-scaled sea snake is paralytic and not fatal. If a fisherman is bitten, he should lie down on his side and stick out his tongue while he is still moving, so that his tongue does not block his mouth. After two hours, it will still be alive and well.
This sea snake venom sac was an unexpected harvest of Ye Qing's fishing last month, which scared Ye Qing a lot at that time. Later, he was stoned to death with an oar, and he dared to break his stomach to take poison.
Using the venom sac of the green-scaled sea snake as a powerful anesthetic can quickly cause the red golden snake to lose its resistance and strength. The most important thing is the venom of the green-scaled sea serpent, which does not produce any sequelae. As long as Ye Qing operates properly, the red golden duck can be sold alive.
The liquid in the poison sac has solidified into jelly, Ye Qing removed a few thin clamps of the snake and shrimp that might touch the poison sac, and carefully tied the poison sac to the hook tip.
The sound of ethereal silk and bamboo in his ears was still there, and Ye Qing also completed the last process.
According to the distance and proximity of the beautiful sound of silk and bamboo, Ye Qing gently rocked the boat to the place where he thought the sound was most obvious, and then put the hook of the poisonous shrimp into the sea.
Shivering, Ye Qing curled up in the boat, lowered the anchor rope to a depth of about five meters, and waited anxiously for the red golden owl to bite the hook.
The torrential rain continued, but the sound of silk and bamboo stopped abruptly.
Ye Qing was so excited that his heart almost jumped out.
Before the crossing, when he was fishing for horned needlefish, as long as he sprinkled the crushed chicken liver nest into the water, the cries of these yellow-skinned guys would stop abruptly and swim over to eat.
Don't......
Twenty seconds later, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded again, but it was a little further away from the boat.
Ye Qing was confident that under the cover of the heavy rain on the water, the red golden owl would not find the boat. It's likely that the anchor rope is too thick for it to detect an anomaly.
There was no way to do it, Ye Qing couldn't afford to buy thin and tough silk threads at all.
His body was getting colder and colder, and inadvertently, Ye Qing was shaking all over his body, and his lips were black.
"Hold on, the rain can't drench you. Ye Qing used a gourd scoop to scrape the rainwater out of the cabin, gritted his teeth, took out a few snakes and shrimps from the fish basket, and threw them forward.
Ye Qing's fish basket also raised a total of more than a dozen snakes and shrimps, which move very fast in the water and mostly live in the rocks. It is difficult to catch this object with fishing nets, so you can only catch it with your bare hands on the rocky beach when the tide is low.
Underwater, colorful.
A large fish with a well-proportioned body and a gilt gold hue roams freely here. Between the lips and teeth, a melodious silk bamboo sound slowly swayed out.
The fish and shrimp that heard the sound of silk and bamboo avoided it, as if they were about to fall into the mouth of this big golden fish if they took a step too late.
A fat snake shrimp that is not afraid of death puffs into the water, and then dives into the coral thicket with amazing speed.
Ooh!
The golden fish, which was originally singing leisurely, burst out and shot towards the snake and shrimp in an instant, and even the sea water was brought up by the violent force of the tail, and a short vacuum was brought up.
The second snake and shrimp were thrown in, and the golden big fish photo sprinted in an instant, sucking the snake and shrimp that had not yet reflected into their mouths.
Ye Qing jumped up from the cabin suddenly, his pupils constricting sharply, as he saw a golden shadow chasing the snake shrimp underwater.
The red golden owl finally met the red golden owl.
The third snake shrimp threw it hard, and as soon as the snake shrimp entered the water, a huge wave exploded on the surface of the water.
Five seconds later, Ye Qing threw out the snake shrimp again. It's just that this snake and shrimp has a thumb thick cotton thread attached to it.
"Smack~"
The golden fish was completely aroused to eat by the fat and fresh snakes and shrimps**, and the fourth snake and shrimp had not yet entered the water, it was like a tiger pounced, jumped to the surface of the water, opened its mouth, and caught the snakes and shrimps in mid-air.
At the moment when the golden fish bit the hook, Ye Qing used all his strength to pull the rope onto the fish, so that the hook burst into the upper jaw of the fish.
Ye Qing was absolutely confident that the fish hook could pierce into the roof of the red golden owl's mouth.
This is a combination of a lot of practical experience, and an understanding of the habits of fish, summed up to summarize the confidence.
It was simply earth-shattering, and the anchor rope with a total length of about 40 meters was quickly drilled into the water. The most strain drove the boat violently to move forward.
Ye Qing didn't dare to grasp the rope at all now, and the huge struggle of the red golden owl made him not care about grabbing the rope, because he had to desperately grab both sides of the boat and rely on the weight of his body to stabilize the balance of the small fishing boat.
The small fishing boat is four meters long and has a buoyancy of two thousand catties. But this entry, which measured about 100 catties of red gold catfish, actually dragged the wooden pulp boat into a speedboat.
The red golden owl struggled violently underwater, the boat swayed forward on the sea against the torrential rain, and the sky flashed and thundered, illuminating Ye Qing's tired but resolute eyes.
After a more intense, even dying, struggle, the speed of the ship suddenly slowed down, and the ropes that were as tight as a string were relaxed.
Ye Qing was overjoyed in his heart, it must be the venom in the venom sac of the green-scaled sea snake that had an effect. This nerve paralyzin, as long as a trace is integrated into the bloodstream, can quickly spread throughout the body, and the effect is more immediate than that of muscle relaxants.
It was not until this moment that Ye Qing's hanging heart returned to his chest. No more worrying about whether the iron hook will be straightened or the rope of the anchor will break.
It didn't take long for the boat to stop moving forward, and the rope was completely sunk into the water, and there was not a trace of pulling force.
Ye Qing, who was already pale after being drenched by the rain, put the rope into the cabin little by little with both hands.
Soon, a big golden fish covered in red gold and with a slender body like a knife surfaced with fish belly.
Wrap the red golden owl with a fishing net and fix it to the side of the boat. Ye Qing withstood the torrential rain, looking at the figure in the fishing net that was shinier than gold, Ha Lu Ha Da Lang smiled, tears flowed.
After five years of exploration and research, the results were finally obtained.
A hundred catties of red gold catfish!
You can sell at least 2,000 taels of gold.
Divide half of it to the dead ghost daddy to cure his illness and marry his wife, and the rest will be free by himself!
How to sell the red gold duck without attracting people's attention, Ye Qing, who has been planning for five years, has already had a safe and feasible plan.
"Boom~" A silver lightning bolt crossed the sea and sky, and at the same moment, Ye Qing's hair suddenly stood up, and his whole body was numb like an electric shock.
Ye Qing took out two buzzing ears, and then hurriedly lowered his posture.
There was thunder less than three seconds after the white light flashed, and it was obvious that the lightning had hit the fishing boat within a kilometer of it. The hair on my body and the numb skin are due to the fact that there is a lot of static electricity in the air.
You must leave this thundercloud quickly, otherwise you will have the highest altitude on the mirror-like sea.
In thunderstorms, lightning is often the number one killer.
This is especially true of the larger the ship, and the tall mast is simply a living target for lightning.
However, when Ye Qing was about to drag it onto the cabin and escape from here. The red golden owl suddenly moved, and the boat it carried swayed back and forth.
Ye Qing's brows tightened, and his pale face became a little whiter. How long has it been before the red golden owl shows signs of awakening?
Wait a minute~
Ye Qing's pupils contracted suddenly, and he saw the abdomen of the red golden duck in the fishing net, which was actually bubbling out with bright red blood.
No...... The red golden owl is struggling, but there are monsters, tearing at its body.
"What the hell?" Ye Qing's hairs stood on end, and he dared to scold loudly.
A grotesque black head the size of a human head slowly peeked out from under the fishing net. In its horse-like and deer-like mouth, it was holding a piece of golden-colored minced flesh.
Indescribable horror, this sea monster's eyes turned fiery red, as if there was a flame burning in it.
"I'll grass your uncle!" Seeing that the fruits of his labor that he had been planning for five years were eaten and bitten by this monster, Ye Qing's eyes were split. I don't want to think about it, I don't want to think about how terrifying this monster that can easily break through the red gold scale armor is.
Ye Qing jumped up, picked up the oar in his hand, and smashed it down with all his might.
"Ang~"
Between the lightning and flint, the entire body of this monster exploded out of the seawater, and it turned out to be a juvenile black Jiao with no claws and no horns!
Ye Qing instantly recognized the identity of this monster, three hundred years ago, it was rumored that there was an arowana in this place to the sky, and after the baptism of heavenly thunder, it turned into a dragon.
So far, in the center of Huangyu County, there is still a stone statue of Jiao. And the monster in front of him is exactly the same as the statue of the dragon.
The juvenile black Jiao is two meters long, with thick thighs in adults, and its body is covered with black scale armor. It rose nearly five meters high from the water without any sprint, which shows how terrifying the force is.
The oar in Ye Qing's hand was raised above his head, and he saw the black young Jiao freeing up the water and biting towards him.
"Lao Tzu is going to die!"
Ye Qing thought so in his heart, but he didn't expect that the height of the black Jiao, coupled with his height and the height of the oar in his hand, happened to become an excellent conductor of lightning.
A silver dazzling electric light fell from the sky and magnified infinitely in Ye Qing's eyes.
The whole world is completely dazzling and white.
Originally......
I was electrocuted......
