Chapter 304 - This Is Destiny
Chapter 304: This Is Destiny
Beiqi, Liuli Coast.
A Specter Ship with countless animal pendants was steadily sailing off the coast, heading toward the Void Ocean.
On the deck of the ship, Bai Ze was lying there, watching the blue sky while looking preoccupied.
As he thought of the accident that happened the last time he tamed a sea creature, Bai Ze couldn’t help but sigh.
At first, when he thought Tao Wu had come to menacingly eat up the little sea creature, he was beyond madness. Only after that did he realize that he was the one who’d kidnapped Tao Wu’s son.
In the end, it was the little sea creature that helped him get through the adversity. He felt embarrassed about all these events.
This time, he was sailing off again to keep his previous promise in taming a sea creature. However, with the lesson learned last time, Bai Ze had promised the players in the live streaming channel that he would use the analyzing ability this time before taming any creature to avoid any awkwardness from happening again.
As the Specter Ship entered the Void Ocean, the sea that was calm back then suddenly turned choppy and the wind was howling in rage. Apparently, Bai Ze was already used to the bad weather of the Void Ocean, so he showed no worry and continued to sail forward in the Specter Ship.
Upon reaching the center zone of the Void Ocean, Bai Ze took out his own fishing tools and placed a slice of meat onto the fish hook. Besides, he also sprinkled some Sea Spirit Grass powder which was most of the sea creatures’ favorite smell.
Bai Ze then threw the fish hook into the sea and waited patiently.
Before deciding to tame sea creatures, Bai Ze had purposely collected some creature illustration handbooks from the players in the forum. From there, he learned that sea creatures normally lived in the deeper zones of the sea. Without fishing tools, it was hard to lure the sea creatures to show themselves on the surface.
With the Sea Spirit Grass powder which he used on the bait, it was able to produce a smell that was most preferred by the sea creatures, hence increasing the chance of fishing one out.
The only thing he needed to do now was to wait.
Two hours later…
As he raised the fishing rod again, Bai Ze looked helpless as he saw a white fish struggling insanely by beating its tail non-stop.
He was here to fish for sea creatures, but two hours of fishing did not bring him any sea creatures but only big fish with no spirituality.
However, Bai Ze was not giving up yet. So he threw the hook into the sea once again and continued waiting while he started chatting with his fans in the live streaming channel.
At the moment, a creature that looked like a whale with two short claws around its fins was swimming toward the surface of the sea from ten thousand meters beneath the water.
When it was a few hundred yards from the surface, it suddenly stopped and changed its direction toward the south excitedly before it continued swimming in top speed.
It’s this familiar taste again. So delicious!
Soon, it saw a big piece of meat with Sea Spirit Grass powder sprinkled all over. When it was going to swallow it in one go, it suddenly hesitated.
After swimming around the meat twice, this sea creature focused its sight on the near-transparent string.
Looking upward and then at the meat again, the sea creature suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed the meat.
Pain!
The pain when the fish hook pierced through its palate caused the sea creature to have bloodshot eyes instantly.
Meanwhile, Bai Ze who was above the sea was overjoyed when he saw the fishing rod shaking. He immediately spun the winch, trying to get his prey onto the shore.
While Bai Ze was spinning the winch, he could feel that the sea creature must be a big one. So he quickly crouched down, preparing for a protracted fight.
All the sea creatures were very strong. Therefore, it was impossible to drag them to the shore before their strength was used up and it was no surprise to drag them for a few days on the surface of the sea.
After fixing the fishing rod to the mast column on the deck and making sure it would not detach, Bai Ze started spinning the winch once again.
Nevertheless, Bai Ze was shocked as he couldn’t feel the slightest tug from the rod.
Did the sea creature get away?
In order to figure that out, Bai Ze sped up his spinning motion but still, he felt nothing. This left Bai Ze puzzled as he thought the sea creature had escaped.
Bai Ze sighed. He was left with no other choice but to prepare for new bait.
However, the more he spun, the stranger he felt as a huge shadow was gradually showing on the water surface.
As Bai Ze was still in astonishment, the black shadow jumped out of the sea and spurted a water column toward Bai Ze, making him all wet.
Ying!
A familiar figure with a familiar sound. Bai Ze was stunned when he saw Little Kun.
Ying!
As it fell back into the water, Little Kun flapped its tail while swimming to the side of the Specter Ship. Then he raised his head and opened his mouth, letting the hook on its palate show.
Bai Ze was indeed speechless when he saw Little Kun looking so excited.
As a potential Divine Beast level creature, how could he still act like he had done things right when he was making the same mistake twice?
Bai Ze took a few steps forward and reached into Little Kun’s mouth with his hands. As he was crying in pain, he removed the fish hook before he caressed Little Kun which was leaning against the ship’s edge and said, “My bad, Little Kun!”
As soon as Bai Ze spoke, Little Kun uttered in excitement and flapped his tail, setting off waves on the sea surface.
Seeing Little Kun being affectionate, Bai Ze couldn’t help showing a smile on his face as well. However, he suddenly thought of something, and his face clouded.
“Oh right, you have to go back now. Otherwise, your father will come looking for you again.”
As if Little Kun could understand Bai Ze, he stopped moving his tail. With a sullen look, he made a mournful sound.
Bai Ze sighed helplessly as he took out some jerky from his channel and stuffed them into Little Kun’s mouth.
“Go back. Our fate has ended. I haven’t reached the level where I’m able to tame you yet.”
Looking at Little Kun who was in grief, Bai Ze decided to have no mercy and shouted, “Leave now! I’m not your master anymore!”
Little Kun’s eyes were filled with tears instantly. He flapped his tail a few more times before he went back down into the water.
Looking at the shrinking shadow, Bai Ze was very helpless. Although he liked Little Kun very much as he was a spiritual creature, bringing him along would cause trouble as his father was Tao Wu. He would be in big trouble.
As a player, he was not afraid of trouble, but he was afraid to cause trouble to the other players as well. If he really did so, Tao Wu would treat all the players as his enemy, then it would be very hard for them to travel across the sea.
After a moment, when he confirmed that the shadow had completely disappeared, Bai Ze set another meat on the bait and sprinkled the Sea Spirit Grass powder onto it before he threw it into the water.
This time, the fish hook shook again within five minutes. Bai Ze was filled with happiness as he never expected anything to be baited so soon, he quickly spun the winch after he steadied himself.
As he spun, his expression turned gloomy. This just doesn’t feel right. The force has disappeared again as if the creature is swimming upward.
As expected, when the black shadow jumped out of the water, the familiar sound was heard.
Looking at Little Kun who was flapping his tail excitedly as he raised his head, Bai Ze had run out of words.
Why is it so hard to fish for a sea creature!?
Players who saw this were in a great bustle, too.
In the live streaming channel:
Creature_Hunter: “Fate brought them together. Congratulations to the master for fishing the Son of Tao Wu twice continuously. He is just so lucky! (laughing emoji)”
Super_Summoner: “Hahaha. Are you surprised? Are you astounded? It’s me again! (laughing emoji)”
Pokemon_Master: “All these are destined to be. Master, why don’t you just keep him? Since he has already shown his sincerity, are you still a man if you’re going to reject him again? Jerk identification completed! (laughing emoji)”
Fascinated_Fan: “This little sea creature does have spirituality. Tame him, master! I want to see you leading him across the sea. (heart emoji)”
Raiding_Hunter: “Little Kun wants to fish sea creatures? Impossible! You are mine, don’t ever think of getting close to those bitches. You can only fish me, do you understand? (Tong Gua smashing face warning.jpg)”
Crayon_Shinchan: “Tao Wu is on his way there, reaching the battlefield in three minutes. Then I will live stream hitting my naive son, everyone please remember to give rewards. (laughing emoji)”
…
Watching the comments of the players in the live streaming channel, Bai Ze couldn’t help rolling his eyes.
Ying!
Then, Little Kun opened his mouth eagerly, signaling Bai Ze to remove the fish hook quickly.
Bai Ze was starting to get mad when he saw this. So now you’re addicted to playing with this?
