Chapter 163 - Golden-armored Fish (1/2)

“It’s only around two years old.” Ye Chen was slightly disappointed. Generally, when Master Li named the fish, Ye Chen would know what the fish was for, what its value was, and what pills it could be refined into.

Li Xu wanted to vomit blood at Ye Chen’s words. This was a Black Sturgeon! Even if it was only one to two years old, it was worth thousands of Chi-amassing Pills. They needed a few days to refine a batch of Chi-amassing Pills! Besides, the value of the Black Sturgeon could not be completely measured by Chi-amassing Pills. To masters, high-grade medicinal pills would not be used to exchange for rubbish products like Chi-amassing Pills!

Ye Chen had already caught four fishes including a rare Black Sturgeon. Even Master Apothecary Xuanyi was speechless. Could it be that Ye Chen was really gifted in fishing? Or perhaps Ye Chen’s luck was just world-shakingly good?

Before Little Wingsy got his fishing gear, Ye Chen caught another five or six fishes. They were Red-winged Tadpole Fishes or Rainbow Fishes, and the longest one was around the length of a finger and a half.

Ye Chen glanced at the black barrel and watched as the fish jumped around. It was already getting a little crowded. The corrosive lake water on the fishes had to be washed out with the Heavenly Pure Water in the black barrel before they could be placed in the Heaven-Earth Pouch. They had to swim in the barrel for another half an hour.

‘Hehe, not bad at all.’

At this time, Little Wingsy had also put on his hat and sat by the lake, imitating Ye Chen. Even after throwing out the hook, the float remained unmoving for a long time.

Ye Chen caught fish after fish and Little Wingsy watched on with envy. He looked at Ye Chen gloomily and said, “Brother Ye Chen is still the best.”

“You need to be patient when fishing. Stay cool!” Ye Chen rubbed Little Wingsy’s head and taught sincerely.

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Li Xu almost staggered into the lake. What patience did Ye Chen need when he was fishing? He caught all the fish almost immediately after throwing the bait!

Just as they were talking, Little Wingsy suddenly said excitedly, “Brother Ye Chen, my float is moving!”

Little Wingsy excitedly pulled the fishing rod. Li Xu wanted to stop Little Wingsy and let him wait awhile longer but Little Wingsy had already started tugging on the rod. Li Xu glanced over at the lake and saw that the hook was still underwater. However, the Flameshadow black gold fishing rod was already bent into an arch.

“Little Wingsy, be careful! Ye Chen, hold on to Little Wingsy!” Li Xu’s face paled as he cried urgently. To be able to bend the Flameshadow black gold fishing rod to this degree, it would take more than five hundred catties of force. Little Wingsy was just a young child and would be pulled underwater. The lake would completely corrode a vast majority of creatures!

However, when Li Xu saw the other end of the fishing rod, he could no longer say a word. His eyes fell into a dull state again. Little Wingsy’s hands held the fishing rod firmly without any difficulty. He jumped around excitedly and said, “Brother Ye Chen, it’s a big one!” Before Ye Chen came over to help him, he childishly ordered, “Fishy, come to me!”

With a “splash”, a huge golden fish was pulled out of the water by Little Wingsy. It was tens of centimeters long and kept jumping after landing on the stone behind Little Wingsy as if it wanted to jump back into the water.

“Catch it!” Ye Chen hurriedly rushed at the fish. A large fish like this weighed at least five to six hundred catties but he did not know what kind of fish this was. It was completely covered in gold and its head seemed to have a thick layer of armor.

Seeing Little Wingsy catching such a big fish, even Master Apothecary Xuanyi could no longer sit still. He quickly stood up but a figure had pounced on the fish faster than Ye Chen and Master Apothecary Xuanyi could.

“Freeze. Stay still or I’ll whack you!” Little Wingsy gripped the golden fish but the fish did not listen to Little Wingsy’s orders and continued to struggle. Little Wingsy raised his little fist and pounded the top of the fish’s head and it immediately weakened and quietened down. Its tail shook feebly a few times. Little Wingsy huffed. “Let’s see if you still dare to move. If you do, I’ll hit you again!”

At the side, Master Apothecary Xuanyi and Li Xu stood stupefied, looking at the fish in a daze. In the distance, Lei Yi, Hao Feng, and Yan Cheng looked at Little Wingsy with eyes tinged with fear. By the degree of how the fishing rod bent earlier, they could see that it would most likely take a Tenth Level combatant to be able to pull the fish out with such ease. However, the one who pulled up the fish was just a five-year-old child!

Ye Chen approached and patted Little Wingsy’s head excitedly. He laughed. “Little Wingsy, you’re amazing. This fish is even heavier than the dozens your Brother Ye Chen caught!”
