Chapter 352 – Amethyst Thorned Island (3)
The two of them sat on the rock rampart on the crag, with both legs dangling in mid-air. The breeze brushed by, swaying the ink-black strands of hair, giving off a hint of an especially indolent and idle appearance.
Nangong Liuyun took out a series of equipment and helped Su Luo set up her fishing rod properly. Hand in hand, he taught her how to fish for the Amethyst Thorned fish.
After Su Luo learned from his demonstrations, he sat in a place very close to Su Luo and started angling.
Su Luo, full of interest, gazed fixedly at the fishing rod.
This fishing rod’s design was very peculiar. The dark-coloured fishing rod was suffused with a faint gloss, emitting a spirit aura. Compared to the fishing rod from her previous life, it was simply as different as night and day.
When fishing, it was not as simple as just carrying the fishing rod in hand. Rather, you must pour your spirit power into the fishing rod and carefully sense the situation on the seafloor, then little by little, lure the Amethyst Thorned fish to take the bait.
In the beginning, Su Luo was still full of interest, and with single-minded devotion, poured her spirit power into the fishing rod to sense the world at the bottom of the ocean. After more than an hour had, passed she didn’t even see a shadow of an Amethyst Thorned fish, and lost some of the mood.
She placed both hands under her chin, bored to death. She started to glance around at her surroundings in her boredom.
No wonder Anye Ming and Lan Xuan made a vow of not wanting any Amethyst Thorned fish she hooked. As it turned out, they already knew earlier that she would not be able to hook an Amethyst Thorned fish.
However, in more than an hour, Nangong Liuyun already caught five fishes, Anye Ming caught three, behind the two, Lan Xuan and Beichen Ying both caught two. Only her, not to mention a fish, she couldn’t even get her hands on a fish scale, truly embarrassing.
“Alas.” Su Luo was bored senseless and started to complain to the little divine dragon through their mind link, “Too embarrassing, too embarrassing, too embarrassing…”
The little divine dragon went ‘awoo,awoo’ while thinking it over. All of a sudden, he extended his little paw and pointed at that deep pool of clear spirit spring. That was to say, the legendary Celestial Spirit Water.
“You are saying that by using the Celestial Spirit Water, I will be able to hook an Amethyst Thorned fish?” Su Luo asked, somewhat unconvinced.
The little divine dragon opened its pair of huge eyes wide, cleverly nodded and stammeringly said: “Fish…fish…food…food…”
The little divine dragon, who was trying to learn human dialect, was afraid that he wasn’t clear, so finally, he flopped about on his belly acting out the motions of a fish being hooked.
That comical and adorable little action simply made Su Luo so pleased and entertained, that she uttered a light laugh.
“What happened? Not being able to hook a fish and still in such a cheerful mood?” Before, Nangong Liuyun was still worried that this girl would be upset from not hooking a single Amethyst Thorned fish. But, he didn’t expect that her attitude was still this good, quite able to amuse herself and be cheerful.
“Not able to catch a fish? Humph, humph, all of you just wait to be shocked.” Su Luo raised an eyebrow, smugly giving a him a snort.
With the help of the little divine dragon, she didn’t believe she wouldn’t be able to catch an Amethyst fish. If she still couldn’t hook a fish, she might as well drop the little divine dragon into the ocean as fish bait.
Su Luo took advantage that people weren’t watching and noiselessly took out a few drops of Celestial Spirit Water, then, she secretly mixed it into the fish food.
The fish food was originally a dark green color, that was then kneaded into little balls of dough. When you baited the hook, you took a little bit of it, and when Su Luo put in a little bit of Celestial Spirit Water, it only made the fish food bait a little more moist. People at the side couldn’t tell that there was any difference from before.
This fish food was said to have been mixed personally by Nangong Liuyun, the sources alone consumed a huge sum. If you didn’t have few ten thousand gold coins, you absolutely could not make this fish food bait.
Su Luo added the Celestial Spirit Water into the fish food, and stirred it well again, before pinching it into little round balls to put on the fish hook. Her face carried hope, expectation and anticipation.
Could or couldn’t hook an Amethyst Thorned fish, will all depend on this trick.
Nangong Liuyun saw her hook and laughed involuntarily: “Where is there someone who fishes like you? The fish food bait is bigger than the mouth of an Amethyst Thorned fish. How can you catch a fish this way?”
However, before the smiling expression at the corner of Nangong Liuyun’s mouth could go down, the fishhook that Su Luo just cast moved slightly.
