Chapter 180: Chapter 138: Terrifying Shadow_3

Due to the recent loss of the fish, the tens of thousands of viewers in the live stream room also felt sorry for Lin Yang.

"Such a shame, a big water monster got away."

"Losing a fish is pretty normal; which angler hasn’t experienced that?"

"Come on, host, keep it up, be persistent, and pull it up."

"Yeah, keep going, host. My roommate is dying to see the true face of the water monster...."

Lin Yang took a short break, then glanced at the viewers’ comments again.

"Phew."

He let out a long sigh, stretched lazily, and then, looking at the vast expanse of water in front of him, the fish that had just escaped off the hook had also stirred up his fighting spirit.

You got to pick yourself up right where you fell.

This time, he immediately replaced the mainline on the big casting rod with the thicker No. 12 mainline he had used last time when he went after the giant Catfish, and he fitted a No. 14 hook.

After switching to the larger mainline and hook, Lin Yang once again put the remaining half of the Sea Bass, which he had left over, on the hook. He also added a lot of stinky bait medicine, specifically targeting freshwater predatory fish. He refused to believe this giant could resist the temptation.

After baiting the hook, he cast out with force once more.

Whoosh.

Another perfect parabola.

After casting the bait, he didn’t just wait passively but instead treated the big casting rod as if it were a lure, continuously pulling the Sea Bass bait in the water, spreading the scent of blood and bait medicine thoroughly.

Time slowly passed, and it was now noon.

Almost an hour had passed since Lin Yang had cast the bait for the second time, but that huge creature seemed to have just vanished, leaving no disturbance on the surface of the water.

He thought about whether he should have lunch first and then come back to fish.

Yue’er by his side also said she was getting a bit hungry. Just as Lin Yang was about to suggest she go back for a meal first, the huge shadow on the water finally appeared again!

At this moment, it was still following the bait under the water. Because the water in this pond was quite clear, standing on the shore, they could see a rather blurry dark shadow.

"It has finally appeared again."

The moment Lin Yang saw that the giant had resurfaced, he dismissed the idea of eating. Catching a giant was far more important than lunch.

Then, he immediately slowed down the retrieval speed, giving the dark shadow plenty of time to prepare to prey. This time, the full outline of the creature was completely visible under the water.

The slowly approaching shadow under the water resembled a massive angled shape, almost like a small underwater submarine, completely pitch-black.

"Damn, this giant has got to be at least two meters, right?"

"It kind of looks like a Large Crucian Carp."

"The guy upstairs, stop kidding, Bream are not this vicious."

"It’s not just the length, look at its body, it’s an actual miniature submarine."

"Is it the return of the water monster?"

"Damn, I’m so nervous I’m afraid to breathe hard...."

With the reappearance of the shadow in the water, the viewers in the live stream room heatedly discussed it again, keeping their eyes glued to the live broadcast, afraid to miss any exciting moment.

Splash!!

After trailing for several meters, the giant shadow finally couldn’t resist the bait presented before it and opened its mouth wide.

Suddenly, a large splash that was one or two meters high burst from the surface of the water.

However, Lin Yang did not immediately start reeling in; instead, he waited for a moment.

It had escaped before because the mainline was not strong enough, and last time it had not actually bitten the hook. This time, Lin Yang was determined not to make the same mistake.

After counting for a few seconds in his mind, the mainline was instantly pulled out another ten-plus meters. When the mainline got somewhat taut, Lin Yang performed a neat rod lift.

Then, he purposely took a step back, leaving enough space to exert himself.

Now with a stronger mainline and hook, and being prepared, he was not afraid of it making another powerful struggle.

Of course, despite being fully prepared, Lin Yang didn’t dare to just let the giant pull the line freely. After half of the mainline had been let out, both sides commenced their first round of the contest.

Whiz.

The moment Lin Yang locked the spool, the line that had disappeared in the water was stretched taut immediately, and the droplets on it were shaken off, creating a mist that spread for a hundred meters.

It was as if a water bullet was fired from the shore towards the center of the big pond at high speed.

Like before, Lin Yang also leaned backwards, with his back almost at a 45 to 60-degree angle to the ground, his feet firmly planted in the grass.

His actions were the epitome of strength and technique.

"Damn, I’m so pumped up just by looking at this posture."

"Which angler can do what our host just did?"

"I kind of regret not following the host earlier. Damn, this scene is thrilling and diuretic...."

The comments in the live stream kept flying, and Yue’er was watching with her face flushed red, but there was nothing she could do to help at the moment.

During the struggle with the giant in the water, Lin Yang again felt the might of the big casting rod in his hand. If it were an ordinary rod from the market, it would have definitely snapped by now.

But now, the big casting rod in his hand was not only bending like a bow but also vibrating back and forth, showcasing its incredible power and resilience.

In the future, if anyone ever says that casting rods lack power, Lin Yang would be sure to whip out his own and give them a slap in the face.

After stabilizing the situation, the long tug of war began.

As long as the giant in the water was hooked, Lin Yang was determined not to be outdone from the shore.

This time, he persevered with the tactical theory of the great pioneers: if the enemy advances, withdraw; if the enemy stops, harass; if the enemy retreats, pursue... and every now and then, he would suddenly pull on the weight to catch the giant off guard.
