After making sure that the big fish couldn't jump anymore, Ou Shaotian breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down. Then he looked at the big fish carefully.
This was a Yellow Croaker weighing more than 20 kilograms. He had to admit that this was fate. During the Fishing Trial, he was knocked out by a Yellow Croaker. Now he had his revenge.
< Name >: Yellow Croaker
< Level >: Tier-0, Level 1
< Quality >: Regular
< Spiritual Power >: 1,215 points
< Remarks >: This is a marine fish with delicious meat that contains rich spiritual power. It's a rare ingredient.
The radar also scanned the attributes of this big fish. It was a tier-0, level 1 marine creature. It was extremely fast in the sea and its combat power was comparable to a level-one fishing master.
If he hadn't left the water and lost most of his combat power, Ou Shaotian might not have been able to defeat it.
"Not bad. I've caught more than 20 kilograms at once. It shouldn't be difficult to collect 100 kilograms of fish for the tax!"
A smile appeared on Ou Shaotian's face.
Before he really caught the fish, he was actually a little nervous. After all, he was really not familiar with fishing techniques and could only blindly operate.
After the harvest, Ou Shaotian was full of motivation. He rolled up his sleeves and continued fishing. After putting on the bait again, he cast the rod again and the hook fell into the sea more than 100 meters away again.
Through the radar scan, it still fell into the place with the most fish.
However, not every fish was so stupid. This time, after the big fish approached the bait, it was not in a hurry to take the bait but wandered around vigilantly.
However, before the big fish had time to take the bait, a small fish jumped out and ate the bait.
The fishing failed.
Ou Shaotian was not angry. After taking the hook back, he threw away the small fish hanging on it, put on the bait again, and cast the rod again.
This time, he paid special attention and chose a place with fewer small fish to cast the rod.
It could be said that all fishermen hated those small fish.
As the sun gradually rose, more and more people came to the fishery, and other fishermen gradually came.
Not far from Ou Shaotian, a medium-sized fishing boat came. There were six people on it, all of whom were advanced fishing apprentices. They were all middle-aged uncles in the village who had no hope of making a breakthrough.
This was because after the age of 12, the difficulty of awakening a spirit soul would continue to increase. After the age of 15, they would be kicked out of the trial team and could only rely on themselves.
Those who didn't awaken their powers after the age of 20 basically had no chance. They would be fishing apprentices for the rest of their lives.
If he couldn't become a fishing master, he could only be an ordinary fisherman. At most, he could go fishing in the level-one fishery and couldn't go to a more advanced fishery.
Ou Shaotian wasn't familiar with these uncles, so he didn't greet them. Everyone was fishing separately, but they were all in the same village. If there was an accident, everyone would help each other.
The two fishing boats, one big and one small, were about a hundred meters apart. Their fishing rods were cast towards the inner part of the fishing ground, unlike Ou Shaotian, who cast selectively.
"There are more people now, and I feel much safer."
Unconsciously, Ou Shaotian also breathed a sigh of relief and was no longer so depressed.
On the boundless sea, there was no one in sight. His small fishing boat was floating alone. It was no joke. Even if he didn't feel uneasy, he still felt uncomfortable.
After all, humans were social creatures.
After the number of people increased, the patrol team of the fishery also became busy. They had to register all the new boats. All the boats were equipped with radars, especially the patrol boats, which had more advanced radars.
The radars could scan the entire fishing ground. As long as a fishing boat approached, they would find it and then come over to register.
However, their radars could only identify boats, which was not as good as the radar of Ou Shaotian's fishing boat clone, which was a mutated magical radar.
Suddenly, Ou Shaotian, who was sitting on the deck, stood up abruptly and looked in the direction of the medium-sized fishing boat next door, only to see that something had happened there.
"Be careful, it's a sea snake!"
Someone exclaimed over there.
However, it was too late. The sea snake leaped up after leaving the water. Not only did it break free from the fishing hook, but it also bit one of the people's hand at lightning speed.
This sea snake was not like other aquatic creatures. After leaving the sea, its combat power did not weaken at all. When it bit one person, its huge snake tail whipped and hit the other two people.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a loud noise, the two people were still sent flying even though they tried their best to resist.
"Splash!"
Two splashes sounded almost at the same time as the two people who were sent flying fell directly into the sea.
In the face of the sea snake, which was known as a fishing boat killer, this small team was defeated in an instant. Although the other two people were not injured, they were terrified and involuntarily stepped back.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of something breaking through the air could be heard. It was Ou Shaotian who made his move.
Under his control, the heavy crossbow on the fishing boat's clone locked onto the Sea Serpent and accurately shot an arrow. The moment the Sea Serpent sent the two people flying, the one-meter-long arrow accurately hit the Sea Serpent's weak spot.
"Chi Chi …"
The sea snake let out a shrill scream and then fell heavily on the deck. Its body was still writhing, but it was obviously dead.
After the accident, the patrol team also rushed over.
However, the person who was bitten by the sea snake could not be saved. The poison was too deep. When the patrol team arrived, he was already dead.
The two people who fell into the water were also seriously injured, but they were quickly rescued. Their lives were not in danger.
"Little Tian, did you shoot this arrow?"
Uncle Li of the patrol team looked at the Clown Sea Serpent with a shocked expression.
This was the heavy crossbow on the fishing boat. Its accuracy was not high. Most of the time, it was only designed to target large prey or pirate ships.
The lethality of a precise shot was not high.
Although the sea snake was seven to eight meters long, it was only as thick as an arm. Ou Shaotian was actually able to hit its vital point with an arrow. This surprised him.
"Hehe, Uncle Li, I'm just lucky!"
Ou Shaotian chuckled.
He could not explain the radar. The radar lock was just a basic function. It allowed the heavy crossbow to be extremely accurate. This was something that no one would have thought of.
"Whether it's luck or strength, you saved the four of them. If it wasn't for you, they would probably be dead. You can take this sea snake!"
Uncle Li quickly made a decision.
The people who were saved naturally did not dare to have any objections. They were already thankful that they were able to survive. How would they dare to compete with Ou Shaotian for the ownership of the sea snake?
"Thank you, Uncle Li!"
Ou Shaotian did not stand on ceremony. He picked up the dead sea snake and returned to his fishing boat clone. He directly placed the sea snake into the fish cabin.
The fish cabin was separated. One side was the water cabin for live seafood, while the other side was the frozen cabin for dead seafood.
Soon, the patrol team also left. The team lost one member and two were seriously injured. The remaining people did not plan to continue fishing and directly drove the fishing boat back to the fishing village.
In this era, fishing was a high-risk profession. Everyone was used to seeing sacrifices, so there was nothing to be sad about.
This time, they encountered the fishing killer. They were lucky that only one person was sacrificed. Because of the sea snake, many teams were wiped out.
