Chapter 165 Fishing Guys in the Swamp
Gordon was speechless.
In terms of rules and mission procedures, the behavior Aziz mentioned is against the regulations of the Hunter Guild.
But in fact, many hunters have done this, and it can indeed save a lot of trouble.
Anhil, who had done even more serious "escaping", didn't care so much. He continued to ask: "Besides this 'small shrimp shell', are there any other materials needed?
If they can be collected in the swamp, we will collect them together, and we can make new armor directly when we arrive in East Doruma. "
Feng Ying looked at Aziz expectantly.
Azi habitually wanted to touch his bun, but found that he was wearing a helmet, so he had no choice but to give up.
“Um, remember I need a few more ‘water dragon fins’, the rest are just common materials, lanchite, sticky termites and the like.”
"Hmm, water dragon? Sure enough, we also need to hunt large monsters, which is more troublesome. There are anti-guild rules for poaching, so you can't mess around." Gordon pondered.
"Water dragon? Is it a flying dragon monster?" An image of a giant dragon spraying water waves appeared in Feng Ying's mind.
"It seems that there are no water dragons in the Western Continent." Gordon said with a smile: "The water dragon is an ichthyosaur monster, not a flying dragon. It is quite large and usually lives in the water. It is a very troublesome existence among three-star monsters. .”
“Sounds a bit like the ‘Diva of the Underworld’ Mermaid Dragon?”
"What's that!"
Aziz, who seemed extremely excited when he heard the word "fish", asked excitedly: "Is it also a fish? Is it big? Is it delicious?"
Feng Ying recalled: "Hmm, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I heard from the hunters in the village that it's not too big, it looks like a human, it can sing, it can make people fall asleep and so on."
The expressions of the other three people suddenly became subtle, and the images of mermaids came to mind.
Respect this magical nature?
With their own goals, even if they were just incidental goals, the group's trip in the swamp became much more fulfilling.
In the next few days, searching for traces of shield crabs, tracking and attacking them became Feng Ying’s main job.
If everyone helps, the efficiency may be improved a lot.
But Gordon insisted that this was an opportunity to practice Feng Ying, and adhered to the principle that "hunters should obtain their own equipment" and chose to watch.
In the end, it evolved into Feng Ying riding Amber to conquer the shield crab group alone, collecting shield crab head shell fragments that can be used to prove the results of the expedition.
While the other three grown men and a cat were eating crab shells around the campfire and enjoying themselves, it was a weird scene with oily lips flowing from their mouths.
The reasonable exploitation of child labor is a yes.
Feng Ying felt aggrieved, but she was also easy to coax.
Gordon Pork Chop Aziz made various delicacies for her in various ways. Feng Ying's throat was filled with delicious food, and all her grievances were gone.
More than a week passed like this.
When the dull thunderous sound of "roaring" water waves was heard, the fine water mist like drizzle rushed towards the face.
The huge river that bisected the largest swamp in the continent appeared in front of them.
At the three forks of the river, beside a bend with gentle water flow.
Gordon and his team each held a fishing rod and waited quietly for the fish to take the bait.
Feng Ying is the most impatient. She always wants to pick up the hook every few dozen seconds to see if there is any harvest. This also makes her the only one among the people by the river who has not harvested anything.
“Why?” Feng Ying muttered.
“I told you to be patient. Even if a fish comes close to you if you lift the rod frequently, you will scare them away.” Gordon said leisurely while sitting cross-legged on a big rock.
Occasionally fishing to relax and unwind is very purifying for the soul.
“You can put the fishing rod down first.”
Anhil, who also gained a lot, said slowly: "Don't imitate Aziz's rod shaking. He is imitating the movement of small fish escaping in the water to lure big fish to the bait. You can't learn it by licking it for a few times."
As a novice, it is better to wait for the float to sink before lifting the fishing rod. "
In the end, I had no choice but to put the fishing rod on the shelf, hold my cheeks and stare at the water in a daze, unconsciously humming the song of the Land of Fire:
“a~~yahia~fuliu~~su~lehiya~huxiu~~mi~yatiha~~~”
The little girl’s thin and soft voice was very pleasant. Although they could not understand the meaning, it did not prevent Gordon and the others from enjoying this song that was full of the style of the Western Continent.
What's going on, I just feel sleepier and sleepier the more I listen to it?
At this moment, the buoy in front of Feng Ying suddenly sank.
“The buoy has moved, lift the rod!” Aziz, the most serious fishing among the group, suddenly reminded.
Feng Ying was stunned for a second, and then immediately picked up the fishing rod. This time, she finally got something.
A small fry, barely half the size of a palm, was jumping around on the fishhook.
Feng Ying: “.”
“Hah, ha, ha, ha!” Gordon couldn’t help laughing loudly.
“Put it back, give it back to nature, and wait for it to grow up one day.” Azzi looked at Feng Ying with a smile and encouraged, “It doesn’t matter whether it’s a big fish or a small fish, as long as you get started, the rest will be easy!
Eh? The fish is here too! "
With that said, Aziz lifted the rod hard, and the fishing line tightened instantly, and the fishing rod was pulled out in a heavy arc that made people doubt that it would break in the next second.
After a period of slipping and pulling the fish, Aziz finally picked up a giant spring night carp that was more than 100 centimeters long.
“Haha! What a harvest! Was it the catch attracted by little sister Feng Ying’s singing?”
Feng Ying: “.”
She puffed up her mouth, dropped her fishing rod and ran away angrily.
“Where are you going?” Gordon quickly put down the fishing rod and turned around to ask.
“Find a bait that is more suitable for catching big fish!”
“What kind of bait is suitable for catching big fish?” Gordon looked at Aziz in confusion, “What kind of bait is suitable for catching big fish?”
As long as it is about fishing, Aziz answers seriously, “Animal liver, fake bait, small fish are all acceptable, but it depends more on skill and luck.”
Gordon shrugged and had no intention of chasing Feng Ying back.
Let her go, she is a hunter after all, and she is not an ordinary child who is unarmed.
Feng Ying left for a long time. More than half an hour later, she came back carrying a huge frog as big as a plate.
ˆ “.”
Gordon stared at her speechlessly, "Are these the lunch ingredients you prepared for us?"
Feng Ying imitated Gordon's usual expression and bared her teeth, "No, these are ingredients for the big fish."
With that said, Feng Ying hung the fish hook on the giant frog's chin, and then kicked it into the river.
Facing Feng Ying's childish behavior, Gordon and the other three were speechless.
Aziz, who had a certain obsession with fishing, opened his mouth and murmured to himself: "This is not how you catch big fish. How big of a fish can it eat?"
The words have not yet finished.
The fishing rod in Feng Ying's hand jerked forward, and she was almost pulled into the river before she could react.
She quickly put her feet on a raised boulder to temporarily stabilize her body. She shouted, "Bit, hook, hook! A big fish is coming!"
The fishing rod, which was only as thick as an egg, broke into two pieces within a few seconds. Thanks to Az's quick eyesight and quick hands, he stretched out his spear and put it on the fishing line and quickly circled it several times to replace the fishing rod. It was barely able to hold on.
Gordon Anhill also quickly rushed over to help. The four of them worked together to drag the barrel of the spear and compete with the "big fish" in the river.
At this time, a huge colorful fin cut through the water, and its indigo back was looming.
Beneath the water, the vague giant shadow is so huge that it has exceeded the concept of "fish". The visible part alone exceeds ten meters.
“Ha! Ganototos (Water Dragon)!” Az shouted with a loud laugh.
