Chapter 132: Chapter 123: Water Monster on Land_2

Although she already knew the fish was big, she never expected the behemoth that Lin Yang had been battling for nearly two hours would be so enormous.

My god, how on earth did he catch such a huge creature, if that mouth were any larger, she could’ve rolled right into it without any obstacles due to her small size.

"Brother Yang, is this a catfish? But how can a catfish grow so big?" Yue’er ran over and asked at this moment.

Seeing that the big fish was halfway onto the shore and was out of energy, Lin Yang sat down on a rock. He replied, "This is a Six-bearded Catfish."

Then after catching his breath, he turned to face the camera and continued, "A Six-bearded Catfish can live up to 80 years, grow up to six meters long, and there have been news reports from various places in the world of Six-bearded Catfish attacking people...."

The giant Six-bearded Catfish before the camera was scaleless, with a wide, flat head and an incredibly wide mouth filled with rows of sandpaper-like fine teeth, hundreds of them.

It had one set of barbels on each of its upper and lower jaws, which helped them catch prey in chaotic waters.

Although the Six-bearded Catfish was very large, it was also a very experienced predator, usually living on the riverbed and surfacing quickly to hunt when there was noise on the surface. When hunting, it would first move its pectoral fins to create a vortex that disoriented its prey, then opened its massive wide mouth like a vacuum cleaner and sucked the prey in, swallowing it whole.

Many viewers in the live stream were already stunned.

"Damn, I knew that catfish could get very big, but this is my first time seeing one so huge."

"Tsk, with such a big fish and that wide mouth, a small child could easily be swallowed, right?"

"Darn, I have trypophobia, just looking at the mouth of this big catfish gives me the creeps...."

After catching the catfish, Lin Yang took the opportunity to rest and sneaked a peek at the unlocked rewards.

Such a big catfish, it was unclear what kind of rewards it would unlock.

Curious, he clicked on the illustrated book, only to see it displayed ¥+2000, experience and points +20, and then a special item, a Lure rod.

Seeing that the special reward was a Lure rod, Lin Yang was not disappointed.

Although he also had a Lure rod, it was just a cheap one, certainly no match for the reward, just like the rod he had in his hands now.

While Lin Yang was resting, Yue’er held her phone to give a few close-ups of the big catfish, allowing the viewers a good look at the fish.

The lass had gotten used to it after a while and wasn’t so scared anymore, after all, she was on the shore, and no matter how big the catfish was, it couldn’t harm her.

After a good rest and a drink of water, Lin Yang stood up and said, "First, let’s remove the fish hook from its mouth, then we’ll measure its length before releasing it back to the water."

Such a big catfish was definitely not something he could take back with him.

He first found two half-meter long sticks, then went in front of the giant Six-bearded Catfish, and propped its massive mouth open.

Next, he lay on the ground looking up into the gaping maw of the giant catfish; even after several seconds of peering inside the mouth, which looked like a bottomless pit, he still could not spot the hook and bait, but he got a clear view of the fish’s inner mouth structure.

One row, two rows... several rows of dense, interlocking teeth filled the entire mouth, appearing particularly terrifying.

Yue’er approached with her phone at this moment, and many viewers in the live stream were instantly scared out of their wits.

"Brother Yang, has the bait been swallowed into its stomach?"

"Yeah." Lin Yang nodded.

"What do we do now?"

"We’ve just got to reach in and take a look...."

Without hesitation, Lin Yang rolled up his short sleeves to his shoulders, then stretched his arm into the catfish’s throat.

This action of his again caused the viewers in the live stream to exclaim in shock, and at that moment, an official warning floated across the screen: Do not imitate dangerous actions.

"I’ll be damned, it’s gotten official attention."

"The officials think too highly of us, I’d like to imitate that but can’t even find such a feisty big fish to do it with."

While the viewers exclaimed in shock, Lin Yang’s arm, which had been extended into the catfish’s throat, finally felt the bait that had been swallowed by the giant catfish; it was wrapped in a layer of sticky liquid and was very slippery, difficult to grasp.

Moreover, the fish was so large that even Lin Yang’s reach seemed a bit short, barely touching the end of the line assembly.

It seemed that the massive hook was lodged between the catfish’s throat and stomach, no wonder it flipped so quickly and didn’t dare to thrash about.

To remove the hook, there were only two methods.

One was to cut open the giant Six-bearded Catfish, and the second was for Lin Yang to crawl in further and then remove the hook by hand.

This giant catfish had not grown so big easily; there was no need to kill it just to retrieve a hook.

"Yue’er, help me get my jacket, please."

Hearing his request, Yue’er subconsciously hesitated for a moment, then nodded and ran quickly into the tent to fetch his jacket.

The next instant, Lin Yang spread his jacket over the dense, sharp teeth on the lower jaw of the giant catfish, then he prepared to enter with his upper body.

"Brother Yang, what are you doing?" Seeing his dangerous move, Yue’er hurriedly grabbed onto him.

"Don’t worry, this giant catfish couldn’t defeat me in the water, let alone on this shore." Lin Yang said, giving her a reassuring look, then wriggled his upper body into the giant catfish’s mouth.
