"The fish is hooked!" As Artolis watched, a black shadow moved under the lake. etc! The size of this fish is a bit too exaggerated!
Artoris saw a dark figure swimming rapidly underwater. The black figure seemed to be 4 meters long. "Are you sure this is a fish?" Artolis looked at Gawain in horror.
"Don't say it's useless. If you don't come to help, there will be no lunch." Gawain pulled the fishing rod hard, but the top of the fishing rod bent in an instant. Gawain suppressed his red face and started a desperate struggle with the underwater guy. Suddenly a strange force came, and the next moment Gawain was pulled to the lake by the underwater guy.
If a big fish takes the bait, how can Gawain let it go so easily? But if this continues, I'm afraid Gawain will be dragged into the water. I can't control that much, I'll help you first. Artolis immediately rushed to Gawain's side and grabbed the fishing rod in Gawain's hand with both hands. Suddenly there was a strong force, and Artolis almost fell down. What kind of cruel guy has such great power!
Artoris didn't panic at that moment. She grabbed the fishing rod and pulled it back violently together with Gawain. It seems to have achieved some results, the water surface gradually ripples, and the caught guy is about to emerge from the water. Suddenly the rope suddenly straightened, and the huge pulling force pulled the two people quickly towards the lake.
damn it! Whether it's a fish or a water monster, once it's hooked, how can it be allowed to escape so easily? With a turn of her feet and strong hands, Artolis pulled the fishing line toward the shore again. But the guy underwater was very ungrateful, and he got into trouble with the two of them.
As Artoris and Gawain pulled, a huge black shadow gradually emerged from the water. Only a small piece of it was exposed, and both of them were so surprised that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear. I saw a two-meter-wide black knife-shaped object cutting through the water surface. This was the fish's fin.
Although I thought it was a big fish, the fins alone were two meters long. What a huge fish it was! Imagination is all imagination, only when you actually catch it can you know the size. And Artolis had a hunch that if she caught this fish, she might be able to gain something unexpected. Artoris glanced at Gawain, but saw that Gawain looked even more excited than herself. It was obvious that Artoris was sweating. How could she not know that Gawain showed an expression when he saw good ingredients? This is the time to make an all-fish feast!
As the two of them exerted their strength, they saw that the fish was half out of the water. At this moment, the water surface stirred crazily. The big fish knew that he was hooked and was struggling crazily. Judging from the part above the water, Artolis estimated that the big black fish must be about five meters long. This has never appeared in the human world. It must be that only this magical phantom world can have such a huge size.
It's okay if the fish doesn't struggle, but it's no joke when it struggles. As the fish rolls in the water, waves more than three meters high instantly roll up. The waves crashed on the shore, instantly shattering the boulders on the shore. Facing the turbulent water waves, the two of them were unable to get out of the way at the first moment, and the next moment the huge waves hit them. The huge impact directly pushed Gawain away from Artoris.
"Gawain!" Artolis looked at Gawain who was rushed to the side and was all wet. She was the only one holding the fishing rod at this moment. The big black fish struggled to swim farther away, and the strange force pulled Artolis closer to the lake. Artoris's strength is certainly not comparable to the huge black fish, but letting it go like this is really not worth the gain. Seeing that she was about to be dragged into the lake, Artoris quickly took out the sword-edged bow, held the pole in her right hand, and used her left hand to thrust the stringed blade into the ground. But despite this, she was still dragged away by the fish, and the sword blade carved a deep ravine on the ground.
"Let go!" Gawain kept shouting as he saw Artoris about to be dragged into the lake.
"No..." The sound of waves crashing covered Artoris's shout, and at this moment the fishing line was pulled. The sudden movement caused Artoris to stumble and almost fall. The big black fish that broke the line dived into the deep pool without looking back. Artoris sat down on the ground and said "Damn it!"
At this time, Gawain ran over and said: "The makeshift fishing rod is indeed too forced, but fortunately I am fine, but today's lunch may be in vain."
"No! I must catch that guy!" Artolis stood up, her eyes full of determination.
“This seems a bit difficult to handle. First of all, we do not have new and more powerful fishing gear. Secondly, it is usually difficult for a fish that has been hooked once to be hooked again. And even if it is hooked, our strength is not enough to pull the fish ashore. "Gawain scratched his head with a headache. There was nothing she could do about it. Artoris sighed and lowered her head in disappointment.
"Um, are you two fishing?"
The sudden voice brought the two of them back from their disappointment. Artoris turned around, only to see a gray-haired old man appear behind her. Not only his hair, but also his clothes were whiter than snow, and his gray beard hung between his chest like a whisk. It was the old man who spoke.
The person in front of him must be an elder from the phantom world. Upon seeing this, Gawain said respectfully: "We are indeed fishing."
The old man touched his beard with his hand and showed a kind smile. "The old man's family lives on the other side of Doushen Lake. His usual hobby is fishing, so when he saw the two of you fishing here, he came over to take a look."
That's it! Artolis looked at the old man. Just now, she was wondering why there was an old man haunting this deep mountain and old forest. If he lived here, it would make sense.
After listening to the old man's words, Gawain said: "Since the elder is a fishing enthusiast, he must also be an expert in fishing."
"No, no, no," the old man waved his hand and said, "I just like fishing. As for my skills, I really can't compliment him." After saying that, the old man laughed.
The thinking of the elderly is very strange, and I don’t know why they always have inexplicable laughter. Artolis remembers that when the old leader was still alive, he and other seniors in the knights would always chat casually. He laughed every sentence just like the old man in front of him.
The old man said: "If you want to fish, I have a fishing rod here and I will give it to you." As soon as he finished speaking, a golden fishing rod appeared in the old man's hand. Just by raising his hand, the fishing rod fell into Gawain's hand. Looking at the fishing rod in his hand, it is bright in color, with golden lines all over the rod body. The fishing line is also extraordinary, delicate and yet tough. Gawain stroked the shaft of the pole with his hand. The delicate texture felt very good to the touch. "What a pole!" Gawain couldn't help but praise.
Artoris looked at the fishing rod and then at Gawain's eyes, and then she knew how valuable the fishing rod was.
He turned back and asked the old man: "Are you just going to give us such an expensive rod? You know we won't accept it."
"Hahaha..." the old man laughed again, "I guess you, a bitch like you, would say this. Well, you guys agree to me a condition. That is to catch the black sturgeon you just caught. How about giving it to me as an exchange?"
