Chapter 402
Cao Xing was suddenly taken aback, then shouted, “Assam, Blom, come help me!”
Hearing Cao Xing’s command, the two big men quickly ran over to help hold the fishing rod in his hand.
The three of them exerted their strength at the same time.
Finally, they stopped at the edge of the ice hole.
The immense force continued to come through.
Cao Xing gritted his teeth, “Hold on!”
Assam and Blom grabbed the fishing rod tightly.
Splash!
Under the ice, the lake water surged!
It seemed as if some massive creature was struggling madly beneath the water!
Chino watched Cao Xing and the others’ actions from the side, ready to take action at any moment.
As Cao Xing and his companions held on,
After a full ten minutes, the creature underwater finally seemed to have no strength left.
Seeing this, Cao Xing quickly shouted, “Pull!”
With the words, the three of them exerted their strength simultaneously.
“Ha!”
With a loud shout, the [Mad King’s Fishing Rod] instantly bent.
In the stunned gaze of everyone present,
A creature emitting dazzling golden light all over its body,
With scales as exquisite as a work of art,
Streamlined and over a meter long, was pulled out by Cao Xing and the others!
Smack!
This massive creature was heavily slapped onto the ice, starting to thrash and leap!
[Obtained: Golden Salmon (Gold)]
…
Golden Salmon!
This was the first golden-quality magic creature Cao Xing fished up!
Before he could check the fish’s attributes, the system prompt appeared again.
[As the first All Servers survivor to fish up a golden-quality fish, you have received the title reward: Great Angler]
[Great Angler: When fishing, all rods’ max bearing capacity +500 kg, fishing success rate increases by 30%]
…
Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
A 30% success rate!
Coupled with his bait, he would rarely encounter an empty hook scene in the future!
Then, Cao Xing impatiently glanced at the attributes of the still thrashing [Golden Salmon].
[Golden Salmon (Gold): Magic Creature]
[Level: 22]
[Weight: 11.7 kg]
[Effect: Consuming for the first time increases Life Value cap by 2000, Constitution by 20, and Population Cap by 10.]
(Note: Extremely precious Golden Salmon, exceptionally tender meat, contains strong life force, can be decomposed into 11 pieces of Golden Salmon Meat.)
…
After reading the Golden Salmon’s attributes, Cao Xing was astounded.
Consuming 100g of meat could increase the Life Value by 2000 plus 20 Constitution!
No wonder it was on the same grade as [Frost Moose Meat]!
If the other survivors saw this, it would undoubtedly cause a frenzy!
Even Chino beside him couldn’t help but exclaim, “Golden Salmon, you actually fished up a Golden Salmon!”
“Lord Cao Xing, this is truly unexpected.”
“Such a big Golden Salmon could even be auctioned in Eternal Frost Main City, and I don’t know how many nobles would be willing to spend big to buy this salmon from you!”
Cao Xing laughed heartily, “Master Chino, thanks to your fishing rod, or else I couldn’t have fished up such a creature!”
A smile appeared on Chino’s face as well.
Since living creatures couldn’t be stored in the backpack,
To ensure the meat’s freshness, Cao Xing decided not to kill the fish for now.
He took two [Ancient Tree Vines] from his backpack and said to Blot, “Blot, you and Rab tie this fish up together.”
Blot nodded slightly, then, along with Rab, tied the Golden Salmon together with tree vines in no time.
Then, Cao Xing began to fish again.
As the third Snow Demon Tongue went down, a familiar force soon appeared.
This time, he caught another [Silver Salmon], weighing 10 kg.
Cao Xing chuckled, “Great, another 20,000 Ice Dragon Marks.”
When it came to the fourth one,
A completely different, scarlet-colored big fish was pulled up by Cao Xing.
[Obtained: Red Snapper (Purple)]
…
Cao Xing was taken aback, “Another purple-grade fish? This is an uncataloged species!”
Impatiently, he glanced at the attributes.
[Red Snapper (Purple): Magic Creature]
[Level: 17]
[Weight: 8.7 kg]
[Effect: Consuming for the first time can increase Agility by 15]
(Note: A very fast creature, one of the top culinary ingredients, can be decomposed into eight pieces of Red Snapper Meat.)
…
“Wow! Such pure attributes? Directly increase Agility by 15!”
Cao Xing was startled, then joyfully said, “Haha! This fish meat will surely be loved by those with agility professions!”
He stored the [Red Snapper].
Cao Xing glanced at his backpack, which still had the last two Snow Demon Tongues left.
One boss level, one leader level.
This fishing trip had already brought such a significant harvest so far.
It had even exceeded all of Cao Xing’s expectations!
Even Sarah and Hilda, who were not particularly interested in fishing, couldn’t help but come over.
Seeing Cao Xing continuously pull up big catches was also a very entertaining spectacle.
Next, he hung up the last boss level [Snow Demon Tongue].
Then placed it in the water.
This time, they had to wait a little longer.
A full three minutes passed with no movement felt underwater.
Cao Xing wondered, “Strange, why hasn’t it bitten yet, could it be that I fished out all the big fish in Snow Fall Lake?”
Obviously, that was impossible.
Snow Fall Lake was such a large lake, with a water width of hundreds of kilometers.
And with its depth of at least several hundred to a thousand meters, the number of fish inside must have reached a terrifying extent.
