Chapter 110

White Dragon's eyes widened.

Their rapidly flashing figures are like the electric light brought by lightning.

While the White Dragon is fast, it could never exceed the speed of light.

Upon seeing it with his own eyes, he knew that he definitely wouldn't be able to catch One-Bone Fish by simply jumping into the sea.

Xie Juanhan returned to the deserted island, transformed back into human form, and surfaced at sea.

"Chirp chirp?" A pair of big, round eyes looked at him expectantly.

Xie Juanhan raised his hand and spread it out. "Didn't catch it."

Nibote ran over, his paws digging into the seawater, and sniffed his palm. "Awoo?"

Xie Juanhan: "As soon as I got close to them, they ran away, leaving no scent at all."

"Come up and have some hot tea first, we'll go fishing tomorrow," Telingewei said at the makeshift camp.

In this situation, I'll have to go fishing again tomorrow.

Xie Juanhan condensed some fresh water from the air to wash off the seawater on his body, and then went to the camp to have tea with Telingewei.

Harper and the others specifically captured magical insects, Xie Juanhan used Dragon Power to prolong their lives.

Xie Juanhan immediately released his cold energy to freeze the bait that Telingewei had mixed.

When it's time to actually fish, they sit on the rocks and unleash the Magic Power of the golden thread.

As soon as the fishing line entered the water, it seemed to melt into the water, and nothing could be seen.

The live worm on the fishing hook writhed, like an unlucky insect that had accidentally fallen into the sea, bobbing up and down in the water.

This fishing line works incredibly well.

Xie Juanhan was a little surprised.

No wonder the One-Bone Fish is so hard to catch; you can catch it using the golden thread woven by the dwarves.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei also set up Harper and the others' fishing rods and helped them cast their lines, letting them wait behind the rods.

After preparing, Xie Juanhan and Telingewei threw the bait into the sea.

As soon as the bait hit the sea, it immediately emitted a fresh scent.

Smelling the alcohol and blood, Xie Juanhan asked Telingewei in a low voice, "You used this trick to lure the Tata Fish before, didn't you?"

Telingewei also lowered his voice. "As long as it works."

That seems to work quite well; the sea fish seem to really like this bait.

After casting their bait, Xie Juanhan and Telingewei each sat behind their fishing rods, patiently waiting.

The two dragons didn't chat, and even Harper and the others didn't dare to breathe too loudly, for fear of scaring away the One-Bone Fish.

As we waited, the sun rose higher and higher.

Golden light shone brightly, illuminating heaven and earth and all things.

Xie Juanhan felt a little uncomfortable under the dazzling sunlight and squinted.

Just then, his fishing rod trembled slightly.

He immediately placed his hand on the fishing rod, held it still, and carefully felt the condition of the rod.

At this point, the fish below may only be tentatively touching the insect, and may not actually take the bait.

You can't lift the rod yet.

After the fish below tentatively tested the waters several times, the fishing rod suddenly jerked, clearly indicating that the fish had taken the bait.

Xie Juanhan immediately hung up.

The thin, water-dissolving gold thread was now incredibly strong.

Xie Juanhan didn't need to worry about the strength of the fishing line at all.

He reeled in the line and lifted the fish.

A large fish with a flowing tail, resembling a spot of light, dangled at the end of the fishing line, struggling desperately.

"Awooo!" Nibote shouted excitedly.

The other little ones all looked at Xie Juanhan: "Chirp!"

Xie Juanhan removed the fish from the hook, Telingewei came over to help, stuffing the fish into the wooden bucket.

Xie Juanhan was a little worried. "If we put this fish in the bucket, it won't be able to escape, will it?"

After all, this fish can hide in another dimension.

It would be such a waste to go through all that trouble to catch it only to have it get away.

Telingewei: "As long as it's not put in the sea, it can't escape."

Xie Juanhan confidently placed One-Bone Fish into a large wooden tub filled with seawater and released a little Dragon Power into it.

When he saw One-Bone Fish jumping around in the bucket, he put the lid on.

There's a gap in the bucket lid, so the One-Bone Fish shouldn't suffocate.

With this successful start, Xie Juanhan caught several more One-Bone Fish, as well as other types of fish.

After catching a lot of fish, he picked out the strongest female One-Bone Fish and the smaller, immature One-Bone Fish and threw them all back into the sea.

There are already enough fish to eat; we cannot exhaust the resources to catch them all.

Xie Juanhan caught the most fish.

Soon, Moli caught one too.

Perhaps due to the "newbie advantage," the fish Moli caught was quite large.

It excitedly stomped its paws behind the fishing rod, and whispered, "Awoo!"

It was rare to see this Demon Wolf so excited, Xie Juanhan helped it pull the fishing rod and patted its neck.

Xie Juanhan and his friends planned to spend the entire day fishing.

Besides the sea One-Bone Fish, there were other fish in the sea. Xie Juanhan's fishing skills were impeccable, and the other little guys also caught fish one after another.

You can't catch a giant dragon, not even one.

Habu, Nibote, Hadi, and Moli's fishing rods moved in turn.

Telingewei helped carry the fishing rod back and forth, keeping him quite busy.

The fishing rod in his hand pulled up several fish, including two One-Bone Fish.

He only had his own fishing rod, and the bait had been taken several times, but the fish had vanished without a trace.

I fished all day.

The sun was setting, and the golden thread was almost gone.

Telingewei sat there, his lips pursed, as silent as a mountain.

At this moment, even Harper and the others no longer had any schadenfreude in their eyes, only deep sympathy.

I've tried fishing so many times, but I still can't catch any fish in Telingewei. squeak

See you tomorrow!

Chapter 110 [VIP]

The sky grew darker and darker.

The orange light shone on the sea, giving it a peculiar iron-gray hue.

The golden threads spun by the dwarf monsters have not yet disappeared.

Harper and the others had lost interest in fishing; they lay sprawled beside the fishing rod, swishing their tails back and forth.

"Gurgle."

Xie Juanhan's heart stirred, and he turned to look at the little ones.

Nibote met Xie Juanhan's gaze, curled himself up with his tail, but couldn't hide his rumbling stomach. "Ooh."

"Hungry?" Xie Juanhan took out a handful of jerky from his spatial armband, first giving a large piece to Telingewei, then feeding Harper and the others in turn. "Have some jerky to tide you over."

It's better if Xie Juanhan doesn't feed them.

As soon as he fed them, they all crowded around Xie Juanhan's feet, rolling around him and exposing their bellies, chirping.

Xie Juanhan touched each fish one by one. "Shall we fish a little longer? Once it's completely dark, we'll make fish soup."

After stuffing the little ones with several pieces of jerky, Xie Juanhan pulled out a stack of shiny gold coins the next time he took out jerky.

With his back to Telingewei, Xie Juanhan quietly slipped one to each of the little creatures, his voice carrying a faint smile, "Please."

Bribe!

Haxi and several other Companion Beast's eyes lit up immediately.

Nibote, puzzled, stared at Xie Juanhan with bewildered eyes: "Meow--"

Its long, drawn-out howl hadn't even finished yet.

Haxi was standing nearby, reacted quickly and bit its rear end.

Its "roar" immediately split into two. "Roar!"

"Meow!!!"

Nibote turned and glared at Haxi, but when he met Haxi's gaze, he shrank back.

Xie Juanhan rubbed the spot on Nibote's buttocks where he had been bitten. "You guys go play over there."

One-Bone Fish are usually active during the day, and if you can't catch one during the day, the chances of catching one in the evening are even smaller.

Xie Juanhan sat next to Telingewei.

Telingewei snapped out of his daze, "Never mind, let's hang up."

"Let's fish a little longer." Xie Juanhan rubbed Telingewei's back and looked at him with a smile, "We've already bought the gold thread, we can't waste it."

Telingewei turned his head and continued fishing, "Okay."

Xie Juanhan glanced at him, then dipped his fingertip into the bait bucket, releasing a bit of Dragon Power again to improve the quality of the insects.

However, it was of no use at all.

Except for Telingewei, every family member caught One-Bone Fish.

Even Nibote was caught.

The fishing rod that Telingewei was guarding didn't get One-Bone Fish bite, not even from ordinary sea fish.

Only a small fish, about two fingers wide, took his bait, which he then threw back into the sea.

The last rays of dawn faded away.

As darkness fell completely, the moon rose from another corner of the sea, casting its gentle light upon the surface.

The golden threads spun by the dwarf monsters vanished completely the moment the light disappeared.

Telingewei glanced at the fishing rod. "I'm not fishing anymore."

As he spoke, he gathered up the fishing rods, bundled them together, and looked like he was about to casually toss them into his spatial arm ring.

Xie Juanhan asked, "Aren't these fishing rods going to be reused?"

The gold thread and hooks are gone, the fishing rod is put away, but it can still be used next year.

Telingewei looked at the fishing rods. "The One-Bone Fish might remember the scent of these rods; it might not be easy to catch them next year."

"Hmm?" Xie Juanhan looked at the fishing rod, then at Telingewei.

Telingewei paused for a moment, then insisted, "We'll use a new fishing rod next year."

Xie Juanhan kept a straight face and didn't smile, "Okay."

Harper and the others chirped from the side, "Chirp?"

Xie Juanhan stretched. "Right away, let's get a big pot and make fish soup."

Harper and the others had been looking forward to it for a long time. As soon as they heard Xie Juanhan say that he was going to make fish soup, they immediately chirped and turned to run towards the jungle on the deserted island.

They were going to collect firewood to make fish soup.

Xie Juanhan called out from behind them, "Gather larger pieces of firewood, not small pieces; small pieces of firewood don't produce a stable fire—"

Harper and the others responded loudly, "Awooo!"

It was already dark when Xie Juanhan and the others quickly lit a campfire and started simmering fish soup in a large earthenware pot.
