Holding the nearly one-kilogram catfish that he had just caught, now lifeless, he examined it closely and found no signs of injury on its body. If it weren't for the special effects added to the animation on his phone, the fish's death could have made for a compelling documentary. After all, their method was to first avoid the correct answer and then try various wrong ones, turning a perfectly good legal education segment into a suspense drama.
Everything seemed normal after catching the fish, but while passing through someone else's territory, he accidentally destroyed their space. Then, a nearly two-meter-long electric eel emerged to argue with him. When it ignored his attempts to reason, it retaliated with a powerful tail whip. A Pikachu symbol flashed by, and just like that, the fish was done for.
"Is this an Electric Eel?" Sun Lang asked uncertainly after the animation ended.
It could also be an Electric Catfish; either way, it wasn't from South America but rather Africa. It must have been released not long ago because this fish wouldn't survive the winter in the Yangtze River! As he removed the hook, Shi Tian felt a headache coming on.
If it were an Electric Catfish, that would be somewhat manageable since its voltage is lower; moving a bit to the side might still yield a catch. However, if it were an Electric Eel, that would be problematic—at least in those two spots, the fish wouldn’t bite anymore.
With high-voltage electricity ranging from seven to eight hundred volts, not only would those two spots be rendered useless, but there was a risk of sterilizing all the fish in them!
Without whiskers, it had to be an Electric Eel! Sun Lang was certain.
To release an Electric Eel into the Yangtze River took quite a bit of audacity. This fish wasn’t just any ordinary catch; previously in Jiangsu, someone had released one that electrocuted an elderly woman. That one only had about two hundred volts of electricity.
This one had seven to eight hundred volts—anyone with a weak heart could easily face dire consequences from just one tail whip!
Forget it! It would be better to keep it as a pet; they were easy to catch! They would bite if there was bait and had no wariness! Since he didn’t expect to catch anything else soon, he decided to play with this Electric Eel. If he could reel it in, it would count as doing a service for the community.
With his one-meter-eight rod in hand and some bait ready, he looked around for his fishing buddies. Was Dead Fish Bite really that powerful? It was broad daylight! There should have been dozens of fishing buddies around! Had they all been scared away?
Looking at the bridge pier, he noticed that the two rods on the right had already been packed up and were untying their lines—no doubt they were leaving too. As for the two older fishermen on the left, they couldn’t leave yet; they had hooked onto big fish and wouldn’t depart until they brought them in.
Lighting a cigarette and glancing back, he saw fishermen holding rods while raising their phones to watch—he couldn’t tell if they were observing him or waiting for something exciting from the water.
Shi Tian thought about sending Sun Lang over to catch some Bai Tiao for bait; he needed to make something happen and not waste such a good opportunity—at least provide some highlights for this video episode.
After searching online for some tips and finishing up on his phone, Shi Tian gave Li Ziyu a knowing glance and said, “Xiao Yu, step back three paces; I’m about to cast my spell!”
He pulled out three cigarettes and lit them up before performing a hand gesture with seriousness.
“By heaven’s decree and duality’s transformation,
From yin and yang springs forth,
Turning the universe around,
May it be granted.
The universe is boundless; I borrow from its laws;
Laws arise from the heart; life flows endlessly.
Taiyi Zhenren, hasten as commanded!
The universe is limitless; wind and thunder obey my call;
Dragons battle in the wild; all things shall perish.
Taiyi Zhenren, hasten as commanded!”
After reciting a series of incantations, he reeled in his rod and switched to six Mi San hooks. Adjusting his float properly, he took a Bai Tiao from Sun Lang and hooked it on before gently casting it out—almost right where that Electric Eel was lurking.
Shi Tian cast his line, while Sun Lang hurriedly dug out his own rod. The two of them were fishing in the same spot, determined to catch that Electric Eel today!
With a dead fish bite, they reeled in their lines and prepared to leave! After changing into their robes, they jumped into the water! What skilled individuals! This was a meeting of experts! Their collaboration left the onlookers dumbfounded; something big was about to happen! One of them was bound to meet their end today!
