Time passed quietly. In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed. Ou Shaotian practiced fishing in the sea near the village during the day.
At night, they returned to the port to cultivate.
Everyone's strength and fishing skills were constantly improving. Basically, they could catch spirit fruits.
However, the mission required a level-two spirit fruit, which was impossible to find near the village. The spirit fruits nearby had long been fished out by others.
To catch a level-two spirit fruit, they had to be more than ten miles away from the village.
During these days, Luo Zhong and the others from the Hundred Stars Island also appeared in the Ninth Star Village. Obviously, they had also completed the mission in the Eighth Star Village.
However, they did not dare to cause trouble for Ou Shaotian and the others.
Mainly because they did not dare to cause any more trouble and had been avoiding Ou Shaotian and the others. Therefore, both sides were at peace for the time being.
…
On this day, the wind was gentle and the sun was bright. The sea was calm and the boundless sea was like a blue mirror.
The fishing boat clone quietly docked on the sea.
Ou Shaotian and the others were fishing on the deck, practicing the Myriad Spirit Fishing Technique.
Swish!
Yun Duo caught a big green crab.
"Humph, it's a big green crab again. Go to hell!"
Yun Duo was indignant that the fish had taken the bait again. She knocked the big green crab unconscious with her rod and threw it into the fish hatch world.
"Don't worry, take it slow!"
Ou Shaotian comforted with a smile.
The biggest trouble in fishing for spirit fruits was the fish. When the hook was close to the spirit fruit, it would easily attract the fish's attention.
Even if there was no bait, the fish would often be bitten by the fish.
"It's too difficult. If we don't go to the bottom of the sea, I'm afraid this mission will be very difficult to complete!"
Yun Duo said helplessly.
The main reason was that the level-two spirit fruit was too deep in the water. It was too difficult to control the fishing line and hook.
After these days of practice, the deepest fishing distance she could go was only about 1,200 meters.
However, if she wanted to fish for level-two spirit fruits, she would have to go at least 2,000 to 3,000 meters.
"If it doesn't work, we can let the flying boat dive. As long as we don't leave the flying boat, we can just fish directly on the flying boat."
Ou Shaotian said.
The reason why he wanted everyone to practice fishing was because he wanted to take the opportunity to train them and not rely too much on the fishing boat clone.
After all, the importance of Dangling Fishing had become more and more obvious.
"Yes!"
Yun Duo nodded.
She didn't say anything else and continued to focus on her practice.
…
In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.
More and more people gathered in the Ninth Star Village. Many people were stuck at the Ninth Star Village, causing the Ninth Star Village to become more and more lively.
Over the past few days, there had been teams venturing into the seabed to search for Stage Two spirit fruits from time to time.
Needless to say, they were all robbed from the nests of some tier-3 aquatic creatures, resulting in a lot of casualties.
Some of the teams originally had a dozen people, but in the end, only one or two people were left. Some were even completely wiped out.
However, more and more people still went to the bottom of the sea.
If one squad couldn't handle it, then two, three, four, or even five squads would be used!
Many small teams were working together.
It couldn't be helped. If there were too few people, no one would be able to handle a group of tier-3 aquatic creatures. They had to have more people.
Now, those who dared to go to the bottom of the sea were basically more than twenty to thirty people.
In short, the more people there were, the safer it would be.
This morning, Ou Shaotian also decided to go to the sea.
"Everyone, we won't practice fishing today. I plan to take you to the bottom of the sea to complete the mission."
Ou Shaotian said aloud.
Over the past few days, only he, Yun Duo, and Wu Aoyi had caught Stage Two spirit fruits. The others hadn't caught any yet.
After seeing more and more people going into the sea, he also decided to go into the sea.
"We're the ones holding you back!"
Wen Zhan said helplessly.
He also made up his mind to practice fishing more when he had time in the future.
Not only him, but the others also did the same.
"Don't think so much. Since we're teammates, we have to go through it together. Our destination today is the volcanic ridge at the bottom of the sea!"
Ou Shaotian said aloud.
That location was originally a group of volcanoes with many craters. From time to time, there would be eruptions. It was quite dangerous.
However, there were also many extinct volcanoes. Inside those volcanoes, there were precious Stage Two Red Fruits.
"Okay!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
In fact, they were already prepared. Everyone was wearing an earth-level diving suit that could defend against the full blow of a grand fishing master.
As long as they weren't besieged by groups of tier-3 aquatic creatures, there wouldn't be a problem.
More than half an hour later, the fishing boat clone continued to dive with everyone. Soon, they came to the top of the volcanic ridge and could see many eruption-like craters.
Ou Shaotian had also scanned with the radar and soon locked onto one of the volcanic craters.
"Everyone is ready!"
As soon as Ou Shaotian finished speaking, the fishing boat clone turned into a mark and was put away by him. Everyone also fell into the water.
"Let's go!"
Ou Shaotian waved his hand and swam downwards with the others.
Soon, they passed through a volcanic crater and dived in.
The volcanic ridge was not small and there were many volcanic craters. In fact, it was just a super-large volcano with many eruptions.
To put it bluntly, the interior was connected and it was like a maze.
Others might not know this, but Ou Shaotian knew it clearly through the radar scan.
"Prepare for battle!"
Ou Shaotian led everyone in and killed all the aquatic creatures along the way.
They avoided tier-4 aquatic creatures. The lone tier-3 aquatic creatures couldn't stop them at all. As long as they encountered them, they would be surrounded and killed.
The passageway wasn't very spacious, so most of the aquatic creatures here were solitary creatures.
Ou Shaotian led them to kill as they advanced. They made many turns, sometimes upstream, sometimes downstream. The twists and turns made Wu Aoyi and the rest dizzy.
Whoosh!
With a splash, Ou Shaotian and the others came out of the water one by one.
They were in a huge cave. Under the strange terrain, it formed a special space. Coming out of the pool, they were once again on solid ground.
"Oh my god, Shaotian, you're amazing!"
Wu Aoyi and the others exclaimed excitedly when they came out of the water.
"You can actually find land at the bottom of the sea. Shaotian, you're amazing!"
Yao Xingyu was full of admiration.
"Cut the crap. Let's move quickly. Once we find the Cinnabar Fruit, we'll have completed our mission!"
Ou Shaotian said with a smile.
Then, he took the lead and led everyone into action.
The volcanic crater was well-connected and there were many lucky teams. Therefore, they weren't the only ones who entered the karst cave.
Therefore, Ou Shaotian didn't dare to be negligent.
Soon, a pool of boiling magma appeared in front of everyone. The surroundings also became scorching hot. The air was burning and crackling.
Billowing heatwaves came towards them and they could feel the heat even by breathing!
On the rocks beside the lava, there was a small red tree. It was the Cinnabar Fruit that Ou Shaotian and the others were looking for. There were a total of seven Cinnabar Fruits on the tree.
