Chapter 125: Chapter 121: Mysterious Shadow

After dinner, Lin Yang drove home alone, and it was only about eight or nine in the evening when he arrived.

To be honest, fishing for catfish for two days was indeed a bit dull, which is why Lin Yang didn’t join a club and specifically go to competitions.

Black Pond Fishing might indeed reflect a higher level of fishing skill compared to athletics, but he felt that the real pleasure of the sport of fishing lay in angling in natural waters.

By then, his parents had already gone back to their room to rest, and Lin Yang returned to his room, lay on his bed, and began scrolling on his phone as usual.

Ever since a few days ago when he caught that giant pike at the sluice gate of the Qinglong Lake Reservoir, he had been receiving a lot of private messages on his Douyin account every day.

The contents of these messages varied greatly: some people wanted to become his apprentice, others invited him to meals, and there were even girls who sent him photos, but he ignored them all.

Among these messages, Lin Yang was particularly interested in those from netizens inviting him to fish in their areas. Water friends from all corners of the country were talking about big fish sightings in their hometowns and urging him to come and check them out.

He found these messages very appealing, as he was inherently interested in fishing, especially where there were large creatures, which held a mysterious attraction for him.

However, many places were too far away, and the information provided by the water friends was too vague. Without sufficient evidence, he definitely would not travel such a long distance to fish on a whim.

As he was browsing, one particular message caught Lin Yang’s attention.

It was from a water friend in Jiangxi Province with a simple message: "Giant mysterious water monster sighted at Mingyue Mountain."

The video was on his profile page, which Lin Yang visited. This water friend’s profile tag was ’adventure, hiker, outdoor wild fishing.’

That video was pinned at the top of his page.

The video wasn’t long, just over ten seconds, and the filming distance made it unclear, with a shaky camera indicating it was shot in a hurry.

The video showed a giant lake, captured from the shore through the trees. At first, a whirlpool appeared on the water surface, followed by a blurry shadow that passed by quickly, bringing the short clip to an end.

Since this water friend didn’t have many followers, the video only had a few thousand views, and most comments expressed skepticism.

Comments such as it being an underwater current, lake garbage, or weather factors were common.

Yet, this water friend responded seriously to each comment, insisting that the shadow was indeed a living creature.

Lin Yang also found it to be interesting. Although it was just a brief video without much explanation, it piqued his curiosity.

Mingyue Mountain, a national 5A-level natural scenic area in Jiangxi Province, has many water systems that are interconnected with the Ganjiang and Yangtze River System. Moreover, most parts of the vast mountains in the scenic area remain unexplored, possibly harboring some giant creatures.

What was key, was that Mingyue Mountain was only about 300 kilometers away from his current location, a mere four-hour drive.

He had been wondering where to go fishing in the next few days, and suddenly this mysterious place had captured his curiosity.

He couldn’t resist sending a private message to the water friend, inquiring about the exact location and coordinates.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he sent the message, the other party replied immediately and sent him geographical coordinates.

Lin Yang looked them up on a search engine, and it showed an area deep within Mingyue Mountain, more than ten kilometers away from the nearest road accessible by car. If he wanted to go there and check it out, he would need to make thorough preparations.

Although Mingyue Mountain is a 5A-level scenic spot, it belongs to a pristine natural forest area. Apart from the periphery, few people venture into the interior.

After some hesitation, Lin Yang bit the bullet and decided to take a look. Even if he didn’t catch a "water monster", it wouldn’t matter; he would just treat it as a trip.

Next, he turned on his computer and began gathering more information about Mingyue Mountain to prepare for the journey.

Having focused on catching catfish for the past two days, Lin Yang had planned to rest for a day or two, but after making the decision to go, he felt an irresistible itch inside him.

Ever since catching that giant pike, he had completely fallen in love with the thrill. Whatever supernatural beings were in the water, he wanted to haul them up.

After reviewing the information, Lin Yang went to bed early, planning to set off the next morning.

....

The next morning, while at the breakfast table, Lin Yang shared his plans to go out with his parents.

Now, Old Lin and his wife were quite open-minded about their son going out fishing. After all, it wasn’t his first time, so they let him be, as long as he paid attention to his safety and took good care of himself.

Seeing his parents’ rare understanding, Lin Yang immediately promised with a smile to take good care of himself and always put safety first.

He then sent Yue’er a message, saying he would be out for a day or two.

What he didn’t expect was that she wanted to come along as soon as she heard.

Lin Yang told her he had orders and work to do, but the girl said she could bring her laptop and get the work done while on the road.

And not long after the message was sent, she ran over, panting.
