Chapter 145: Winning Fish and Angler
The farther north he went, Gu Xiaobai obviously felt that the temperature was getting lower and lower, but fortunately, his physique and well-prepared warm items allowed him to deal with it calmly.
After getting off the plane, the two were picked up by two Russian men, took a snowmobile, and the four of them raced all the way to the village where the scientific expedition team stayed.
The village became very busy because of the arrival of the scientific expedition team, and the two were brought directly to the main person in charge, Si Sai, who was in good spirits, although he was full of gray hair, but his every move was full of energy.
Thinking Plug was startled when he saw Lei Zi's palm, the number of times he had contact with the ability was not much, and there were even fewer special abilities like Lei Zi, the Thinking Plug first nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Gu Xiaobai.
"Where have we met?" Sisai felt that the young man in front of him was familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen it. After listening to his assistant's general explanation of the situation, he nodded silently.
"Alright then, just don't get me in trouble and stay on shore. ”
Gu Xiaobai didn't explain his identity straight to the point, he wanted to ask the stopper after the task was completed.
The Mind Plug roughly explains the task, the content is very simple, first use sonar to capture the location of the strange call, and then use the ability of the thunderbolt to find out in the water, of course, under the premise of ensuring personal safety, even if the thunderbolt has good water quality, you must wear complete diving equipment.
After arranging the task, a team of people set off for the coastline, and there were already team members who had set up sonar collection devices there in advance, and they had collected strange cries before Gu Xiaobai and Lei Zi came here.
The voice sounded like a grumbling woman over the speaker.
"The sonar was located about fifteen nautical miles ahead, on the surface of the water, and the cry lasted for about three minutes. A staff member reported.
A group of people got on the boat, fortunately, there was no large area of ice floe on the sea, and the boat was going smoothly, and the thunderbolt was already wearing diving equipment at this time.
More than an hour had passed by the time the boat reached its destination, surrounded by a vast white world of ice and snow, the sea was full of fog, the visibility was very low, everything was calm all the way, and there was no sound on the sea except for the occasional wave of water.
"Where is what?" Gu Xiaobai was staring blankly at a dark shadow hidden in the mist, and he could vaguely judge that it should be a long line of coastline.
"It's the Novosibirsk archipelago, just an island. Stopper replied unconcernedly.
"That voice appeared again, it's still the same position just now, it's very close to you!" came the voice of the staff from the intercom, and everyone hurriedly looked around.
The sound of "Woo ......" gradually became very clear, and not far away, a two-meter-high colorful fish fin was exposed on the water, and it was the strange cry it made.
"Quick, get into the water!" Sisai slapped Leizi on the shoulder excitedly, almost pushing Leizi down.
Through the underwater equipment carried by Lei Zi, everyone can see through the display screen that it is a huge fish creature, more than ten meters long, covered with colorful scales, floating near the sea level, constantly screaming.
"Come closer!" shouted the stopper into the intercom.
Lei Zi kept approaching the big fish, and he went around to the front of the big fish, trying to see the head of the fish clearly, and at this time, a thin fishing line appeared in the middle of the picture.
"Wait, what's that?" It was indeed a hook, but there was no bait on the hook, just a hook that reflected a silvery white light, and the big fish stopped in front of the hook, screaming incessantly.
"Who is fishing?" curiosity urged everyone to sail to the distant island, as the boat continued to approach the shore, the figure became clearer and clearer, and sure enough, the fisherman was on the shore, it was an old man in a white single coat, although he looked ordinary, but to everyone's surprise, in such a cold place, he was only wearing a white robe, and he could still sit here and fish motionless, what an incredible thing.
The boat came to the shore, and everyone stepped on the shore and walked towards the figure, who sat quietly between heaven and earth, almost in the white world, and the rod in his hand was made of rough tree trunks, and he did not look like a fisher for the sake of fishing, but like a hermit who had abandoned everything.
"Lonely shadow white-robed man, fishing alone in the cold river and snow......" Si Sai suddenly spoke, his voice seemed to alarm the old man, and he slowly turned around.
"Are you here for that fish?" The old man turned out to be a Chinese who spoke fluent Chinese.
"Do you know what that fish is?" Gu Xiaobai asked.
The old man shook his head, turned and continued to look at the place where the line had disappeared.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I've been fishing here for three years, and the sound has been in my ears for three years, but I've never seen it before, I just know that it's a big and beautiful fish, and I don't know anything else. ”
As soon as these words came out, Sisai and the others were so shocked that they couldn't speak, they stayed here for three years, what a terrifying thing, with such an old man with gorgeous hair, can he really live in this icy and snowy world for three years?
"But you don't have any bait on your hook, so how can you afford to catch a fish?"
The old man shook his head slowly: "No, I don't need bait......"
At this moment, a figure appeared on the sea, it was Lei Zi who had returned from diving, he took off his mask, and he was shivering constantly because of the cold.
"Damn, this place is so cold, piercing bones!" He took two steps, and when he saw the old man, he was stunned for a moment.
"Mother, why is there someone here? Old man, this fishhook is yours?" At this time, everyone realized that Lei Zi was holding a fishing line in his hand, and there was nothing on the hook, it was the old man's one.
Everyone looked at Lei Zi with strange expressions, he felt weak for a while, and quickly explained: "This is not what I want to take, it is the fish that I asked me to help bring up......"
The old man suddenly ran over like crazy, grabbed the thunderbolt, and asked in exclamation, "Did you see that fish?"
"Of course, she told me to take away the hook, and she told you to stop fishing......"
"Can a fish talk? Could it be a beast?" Sissai said in surprise, apparently he had guessed correctly.
"It should be. ”
The old man snatched the hook and line from Lei Zi's hand, sat down again, threw the hook into the water, and continued his fishing as if nothing had happened, but Gu Xiaobai could see it clearly, and his body was trembling slightly.
"Tell me what's going on, where is that fish now?" Sisai hurriedly asked Leizi.
Lei Zi scratched his head and said, "She left after talking to me, but the fish is so beautiful, full of colors, like a rainbow." ”
Gu Xiaobai silently recited in his heart the information he had read from the archives of the CAN, "Xuanwu is hidden in the world, there are fish appearing, the fish body is colorful, as big as a douding, and the sound is sad. "This is exactly the text that describes the origin of Xuanwu's beast - Winning Fish, I'm afraid that most of the rainbow fish in the water are this strange beast called Winning Fish, so who is this old man who fishes?
Just as Gu Xiaobai was thinking, a huge whirlpool appeared on the sea in the distance, and the sea water was forcibly discharged around, and a crater appeared in the middle, and directly above the pit, a figure was suspended there.
The sound of "Woo ......" appeared again, and the sea water was discharged, revealing the body of a colorful fish, which was the winning fish, because there was no seawater, she kept struggling but could not move a single bit.
"Win the fish, win the fish, who is it? who is torturing you?" the old man suddenly threw the fishing rod in his hand to the ground, stood up excitedly, and roared in his old voice.
Gu Xiaobai saw clearly the figure suspended in mid-air, it was Joseph, who had only met for a long time, at this time he was carrying a jetpack, his body suspended above the whirlpool, quietly looking at the winning fish exposed in the air.
Probably out of helplessness, Yingyu's huge body slowly became smaller, and in a burst of colorful light, she turned into a tall, good-looking woman, at this time she was completely naked, but Joseph obviously did not pay attention to her beauty, but did not hesitate to swoop down and rush towards Yingyu.
