Chapter 208: Chapter 112: A Journey to the Death_2

If you’re lucky, catching a low-level Primordial Monster could make this trip incredibly profitable.

Although the odds are slim, it’s not impossible.

In addition to Primordial Monsters, there are many precious fish that can sell for high prices at the Trading House.

You could say that each fishing trip is like a lucky draw.

Good luck could bring a huge fortune.

"Whoa!"

The raft sped through the waves, skimming the surface, and Gu Chen let out an excited cheer, his muscles tensed up, showing no sign of letting go.

In his eyes, playing games is about indulgence.

To fish with trepidation is simply unmanly.

minutes later, the raft moving at high speed almost turns into a kite, flying over ten meters with each touch of water.

The big fish still has plenty of energy but is starting to slow down without speeding up anymore.

Gu Chen finally begins to reel in, turning the handmade simple winding reel and gradually shortening the fishing line.

The power struggle has officially begun, the muscles in Gu Chen’s arms tensed up, his Power Barbarian Axe and Shattering Blade Life Souls unleashing their Strength within.

"Come on!"

He releases the Barbaric Force trait, and his Strength surges.

With each lift of the fishing rod, Gu Chen quickly turns the reel.

Now, he only worries about two things.

How long the bent homemade fishing rod can last and whether the fishing line made by the Iron Shell Bug Silk will snap.

But having entered the stage of a strength contest, Gu Chen doesn’t have the luxury to worry, planning to drag the fish onto the raft in one go.

Another 15 minutes go by.

Under high-intensity power struggle, Gu Chen is panting and sweaty, his hands trembling on the rod, glistening in the sun.

"Here it comes!"

With a bellow, a bulge in the water rises, and a huge fish head breaks the surface and flies into the air, black scales shining under the golden sun. The massive body flails in the air, scattering crystal-clear droplets of water as Gu Chen squints reflexively.

But he reacts quickly and decisively switches to holding the rod with his left hand, summoning a golden Power Barbarian Axe with his right, pouncing and chopping at the black big fish still in the air.

The strike is powerful and heavy, and with the enhancement of the Shattering trait, it penetrates the fish head and sinks into the flesh.

But to Gu Chen’s surprise, the big black fish didn’t bleed. It struggled furiously with its mouth full of sharp teeth.

He and the fish fall into the water together, his legs kick forcefully off the big black fish’s head to gain leverage to pull out the Power Barbarian Axe, and then he smashes another heavy chop down on the fish’s head.

Gu Chen knows he has no advantage fighting underwater; he must fight quickly and decisively after falling in.

After several more axe swings, the already weakened big black fish stopped moving completely and turned into a cloud of black mist that swept toward him.

"Hey, what about the fish meat?"

Gu Chen is baffled to find there’s no Decompose prompt after the big black fish dies and no fish meat drops, prompting an unbelievable thought in his mind.

He looks up sharply, and the nearby Guidance absorbs the black mist with its mouth open.

Then the Challenger Tips ring out in his mind, as well as the regional voice channel:

[Challenger Tips (All Channels): Congratulations to the player "Battle Never Ends" for killing the Second Generation Primordial Monster Extreme Speed, earning a 20000 sacrificial power reward, Star Vein Slot level +1.]

[Extreme Speed (Second Generation Primordial)]:

Primordial Traits: Accelerate all actions by burning Qi-Blood, with the specific speed effect influenced by Life Soul Level and the duration affected by Qi-Blood Strength.

Purchase cost: 3000 sacrificial power.

...

"Oh my gosh!"

The prompt in his mind stuns Gu Chen.

Fishing was just a leisure hobby for him, not like the dedicated Fishing Faction Players who fish day and night.

Yet he didn’t expect to achieve what Fishing Faction Players couldn’t, "Catching a Primordial," by just casually angling.

It’s like a group of professional lottery players buy tickets every day without winning.

He just casually bought a ticket passing by a lottery store and hit the jackpot.

This surprise was too sudden; Gu Chen was completely unprepared.

At this time, the guild chat channel of Gu Chen’s guild also blew up:

"Gou Zhan, you’re really gonna kill me, I was just saying you’re on holiday at Colorful Mist Coast today, and we’re still struggling in Emperor Tomb Mountain Range. I said our power difference is going to grow, and what is this you’re doing now, tell me what this is... ah, it hurts more than killing me."

"Ugh ugh ugh, send out red packets quickly, starting the day with such an ominous prompt. Seeing other players get Primordial rewards hurts, but I can curse a bit and get over it, because we don’t know them. But it’s different with you; I won’t be able to sleep for three days, it’s truly distressing."

"We’re all doing fine being poor; why did you have to get rich first? Now that you’re rich, didn’t it break the balance between us? Weren’t the days when we struggled together in poverty happy? Why did you get rich alone? I suggest donating all that money, if you don’t donate, I get heartache. Between a good brother and sacrificial power, choose one, but you can only choose one."

...

Checking the cries of his friends in the voice channel, Gu Chen bursts into laughter.

Although it’s a small guild, the members are all old friends of more than five years, and they have met offline many times. He even served as a groomsman at several member’s weddings.

Compared to the earnings, he values the friendship with his friends circle more.

With joy, he sent a 3000 sacrificial power lucky red packet to the guild group chat channel, and the cries of the guild chat channel turned into congratulations and blessings.
