Chapter 133: Chapter 123: Water Monster on Land_3

At this moment, the number of viewers in the live-streaming room once again exceeded thirty thousand. Many new viewers who had just joined were unaware of what had happened and were instantly shocked by the scene they saw.

"Oh my, isn’t this a fishing live stream? What is the host doing?"

"Could the host really have caught such a huge fish? It’s terrifying."

The newcomers who had just entered the live-streaming room raised their doubts, and some veteran viewers began to explain. The chat was bustling with activity.

Lin Yang slightly leaned into the Giant Catfish’s mouth, his hand continuously feeling inside, and quickly found the huge fish hook along the line setup.

After removing the fish hook,

he did not get up right away because the next moment he felt something else deep inside the mouth of this giant catfish.

It felt smooth, round, and hard, like an irregular sphere stuck in the throat.

With a little effort, Lin Yang managed to pry this foreign object from the mouth of the giant catfish.

"Brother Yang, what is this?"

Yue’er, who was closely watching Lin Yang, also exclaimed in surprise when she saw the fist-sized unknown object in his hand.

Lin Yang was also puzzled; he initially thought it was some foreign object stuck in the throat of the giant catfish that he happened to clean out.

However, upon seeing its appearance after prying it out, he was surprised as well.

The surface of the object was very smooth and round, its texture felt solid, and its color was pretty — a whitish-pink tint with some fragments of clamshells attached to it.

Lin Yang didn’t know what it was, nor did Yue’er, and most of the viewers in the live-streaming room also didn’t recognize it.

Although they were curious about this thing, after looking at it from different angles for a long time, they couldn’t make any sense of it and could only set it aside for now.

The next important thing was to measure the body length of the Six-Whisker Giant Catfish and then release it back into the water.

Lin Yang had brought a tape measure, and together with Yue’er, they quickly determined the length of the Six-Whisker Giant Catfish.

"3.25 meters!"

Though the Six-Whisker Giant Catfish was over three meters long, Lin Yang estimated its weight to be around three to four hundred pounds because catfish are heavier in the front with a long, flat tail trailing behind.

The viewers were amazed at the length of the giant catfish.

"Wow, what an eye-opener, my first time seeing a catfish over three meters long."

"This catfish must have lived for fifty or sixty years, at least. It’s terrifying."

After measuring, it was time to release it back into the water.

It took quite an effort for both Lin Yang and Yue’er to finally get the Six-Whisker Giant Catfish back into the water.

After releasing the Big Catfish, this fishing trip was considered a complete success.

Lin Yang planned to chat with his viewers for a few more minutes before ending the live stream, originally thinking he might stay here for a day or two, but he hadn’t expected the fishing to go so smoothly.

After releasing the fish, viewers expressed renewed interest in the rock-like object he had just retrieved, clamoring to have another look at it.

"The thing the host just pulled out of the fish’s stomach seems to be a treasure."

"The one above, you’ve read too many novels, it’s probably just a stone that the catfish accidentally swallowed."

Seeing that the viewers were clamoring to see it, Lin Yang held up the irregular white stone to the camera once more.

"Here it is, does anyone know what this is? If you know, you can message me privately."

In front of their phone screens, tens of thousands of viewers, upon seeing the object in his hand, could not make sense of it.

"Don’t know what it is, but it must be a treasure. Take good care of it as a heirloom, haha."

"Although its color is pretty, it looks quite ordinary; you might as well throw it away."

"If it’s from a donkey’s stomach, it’s called a donkey gem; if from a cow’s stomach, it’s called a cow gem; so this one from the fish’s stomach should be called a fish gem!"

"You say, could it be something like the bluefish stone that’s in the bream’s mouth? It’s uncommon, but not rare."

"The one above thinks they know everything. That’s a bone unique to the bream, other fish don’t have it. If you don’t want it, host, name your price and I’ll buy it."

....

Lin Yang looked at the bidding suddenly appearing in the chat and then at the stone in his hand, and couldn’t help but laugh helplessly.

Since he still didn’t know what exactly it was, he didn’t dare to set a price and didn’t dare to sell it just yet; besides, he wasn’t short on money, so he decided to keep it for himself for now.

After all, it was a keepsake prised from the belly of such a large Giant Catfish.

After chatting with the viewers for a few more minutes, Lin Yang ended the live stream; it was already past five, and the sun was about to set.

After discussing with Yue’er, they decided to stay overnight here and descend the mountain in the early morning. It would be more dangerous to walk halfway when it got dark.

This time, not only did they release the Giant Catfish, but they also released the previously caught fish back into the water.

Of course, they selected a few tasty freshwater fish to keep for dinner.

Yue’er began preparing the dinner.

Lin Yang finished packing up the afternoon’s equipment and planned to build a fire by the tent. This fire wasn’t for cooking but for warding off wild beasts in the night.

It was early spring, and finding large dry branches in the forest was still quite easy.

Soon, Lin Yang dragged a buckwheat plant as thick as a calf’s leg and over ten meters long from the woods on a nearby hillside. He then used a multitool saw to cut it into meter-long pieces and laid them next to the tent to start the fire.

After the fire was made, night gradually fell.

Shortly afterwards, Yue’er finished preparing the dinner, and they sat by the fire to eat, which meant they didn’t need to use a lamp.
