Gu Yuxin boarded the boat first, then continued cutting chicken intestines and throwing them into the water.

He wasn't worried that the moray eel would escape. This fish was gluttonous and never tired of eating. It was definitely the ocean's number one eater.

This is why it grows very quickly. It usually only takes ten months for a juvenile fish weighing a few grams to grow into a large fish weighing over ten kilograms.

As long as there is food like chicken intestines, conger eels will not disappear.

As Lu Wuyai scattered chicken intestines, he pondered how to catch this big fish.

He only had one chance. Decades later, a massive army of phobia sufferers had grown to two meters long. If they could survive that long without being caught, they must have experienced many battles and had a wealth of escape experience.

Although he can move freely in the water with the help of the Golden Elixir, his speed is the same as on land, and he could never catch up with the moray eel, which is known as the ocean's sports car.

So if he misses his shot, the moray eel will definitely escape when it gets scared.

Although it is greedy, it cherishes its life even more. Once it escapes, it will not return for a while.

There were no tools for catching big fish on the sampan. The only tools he had were a ploughing knife, a small fishing net, and two fishing rods, all of which seemed useless. Fishing methods could catch moray eels, but those required specialized rods and lines, which were far too thin for his.

After thinking for a while, he came up with an idea, although it wasn't very reliable, but he had no other choice; he couldn't find a better way to catch moray eels.

“If all options are eliminated and only one option remains, then it must be a good idea,” Old Li muttered a modified Western slang, essentially reassuring himself.

He tried out the small fishing net, then quickly twisted the cut fishing line into two thick, long ropes, which he then strung onto the small fishing net to make a slipknot.

Then, he slowly lowered the small fishing net into the water and put the remaining chicken intestines in as bait.

The small fishing net was cast into the water, and due to buoyancy, the chicken intestines floated inside and did not fall down for quite a while.

Moray eels quickly sense the presence of food. They possess this ability and are very adept at finding food in the ocean. Cladorails, crustaceans, shrimp, crabs, mantis shrimp, and small to medium-sized sea fish are all their prey.

It went berserk as soon as it saw the food, shooting straight at the fishing net like a torpedo, plunging headfirst into it, opening its mouth wide, and swallowing two or three pieces of chicken intestine in one gulp.

Due to inertia, it continued to rush in and immediately fell into the fishing net.

Lu Wuyai, who was submerged in the water, quickly pulled back the line without hesitation. With a snap, the fishing net, which had been flattened, immediately turned into a net bag, and the eel was caught inside.

Lu Wuyai used all his strength to retract the fishing line, grabbed two fishing rods, and stuck them into the sampan. At the same time, the fishing line became entangled on the rods, and he firmly grasped the sea eel.

When the moray eel realized it had fallen into the trap, it went berserk. It struggled desperately, shaking its head and tail. The fishing line immediately tightened, almost snapping, and the fishing rod was bent.

Gu Yuxin grabbed the fishing rod, and Little Earl (the dog) jumped into the water and dived into the fishing net to search. This is in the nature of golden shorthair cats; they are born to go into the water to help their owners find fish.

The small sampan was being swung back and forth at an unprecedented speed, as if being held by a sea giant. Lu Wuyai gritted his teeth, secured his fishing rod, and resisted the powerful force of the sea eel.

He knew that perseverance would lead to victory. The fishing net wasn't large, and the moray eel could do as it pleased for the time being, but as it struggled, its jaws would tighten further, eventually binding it.

So now it's a gamble. If the fishing line breaks or the fishing rod is pulled away, it will survive if the net is loosened; otherwise, it will die if the net is tightened.

Lu Wuyai knew this was a high-stakes gamble, but the scales of victory tipped in his opponent's favor: the sea fish were too strong in the water, and he, a strong young man, simply couldn't hold the fishing rod.

Just as the fishing rod was about to be pulled out, Lu Wuyai jumped into the water with a sudden surge of excitement. He pounded the gunwale of the sampan with his arms, gripping the fishing rod tightly with both hands to make sure it remained in the socket.

As he fell asleep, a large amount of water entered his body and the crystal core, making him stronger. He discovered that reversing the crystal core could roughly directly enhance his physical abilities.

The golden core was reversed, and water vapor was released. At this moment, no living being could absorb this water vapor, so his body absorbed it, resulting in greater power, greater explosive force, and faster reaction speed...

The scales of victory tipped again. The fishing net shrank, the eel was bound, and could no longer swim freely. The little count (dog) also dived into the water. It opened its mouth, bit the fishing net, wagged its tail vigorously, and swung its limbs, pushing the net to the surface.

Despite the sweltering heat, Lu Wuyai was drenched in sweat even while soaking in the water, but it was all worth it. When he brought the fishing net back, there was an extra-large fish inside.

Seeing the bountiful harvest, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. The little count (dog) happily climbed onto the boat, barking loudly as he did so, shaking his whole body and tossing Lu Wuyai around...

The fishing rod, line, and bait were all gone, so there was no point in staying in the sea any longer. On the way back, he rocked the boat and dragged the fish along.

Back at the village dock, he hauled the fishing nets up, causing a sensation throughout the dock.

Immediately, a young man from the dock, who didn't know what to touch, ran over. He quickly helped Lu Wuyai moor the boat and pack up the fishing rods and lines, while asking, "Wow, what a huge conger eel! Where did you catch it, Brother Yang? That's amazing. Brother Fugui said you sold some big lobsters a couple of days ago. You're awesome!"

Lu Wuyai didn't know him, so he instinctively felt annoyed by such an overly enthusiastic person.

The other person immediately mentioned lobsters. Lu Wuyai only told Gu Yuxin about this; he didn't tell anyone else. He had been keeping it a secret, and he was very unhappy when the boy said it.

So he quickly packed his things, dragged the fish along, and said calmly, "Good luck."

The boy wanted to say something, but seeing his indifference, he smiled awkwardly, rubbed his hands together, and went back into the water, silently touching something on the bridge pier.

After the fish were hauled ashore, people on the dock gathered around.

"Hehe, this is a big fish. I haven't seen such a big conger eel in a long time."

"Su Xi, how did you get it? This big fish can only be caught with a trawl net. You can use a small boat to bring it up."

"This fish weighs over 100 jin (50 kg). Yangzi, you've succeeded this time."

Lu Wuyai laughed and said, "It was just luck. I ran into it on the beach, but the shallow water blocked me."
