The fisherman was not stupid. To prevent any accidents, he tied a hemp rope to the bow of the boat. If there was any problem, the people on the shore could pull the hemp rope to drag the boat back.

"You two watch on the shore. When I raise the headlight, you pull back." He turned on the fishing light he carried with him, took a deep breath, and jumped onto the boat.

The water surface was pitch black and no one knew what was hiding underneath, which looked a bit scary.

His body swayed with the boat, and the fisherman slowly sat down, placed the harpoon in a convenient position, and clamped the fishing light between his legs. Only after doing all this did he pick up the oar.

"Do you want to reconsider it?" Zhang Dapo was guarding the hemp rope. He was really worried that the fisherman would never come back. He caught so many fish, but in the end he would be eaten by the fish. This would be a tragic ending.

"Some fish become more active at night. The king fish only bites the hook at night, which means it is this kind of fish. It will be more dangerous if we drag it later." The fisherman tried to remain calm. He held the oar with both hands and slowly rowed the boat away from the shore.

"This guy is really courting death." Chen Ge rarely commented on others like this. He was not a good swimmer. If it were him, he would definitely not go over to get the float at this time.

He was not afraid of evil spirits or ghosts, but at this moment, looking at the undulating dark water, he also felt an indescribable fear.

It was almost an instinctive reaction. There was a voice in his mind reminding him that there was something under the water. The reservoir was very dangerous and it was best not to get close.

The fisherman was getting farther and farther away from Chen Ge and the others, but the worst thing was that the fishing float was drifting farther and farther away with the current.

At the beginning it was only six or seven meters away from the shore, but now it has drifted ten meters away.

The fisherman sat with his back to Chen Ge and the others, put aside his worries, and paddled hard, moving the boat closer to the location of the luminous float.

The huge reservoir was eerily quiet. On the shore, Chen Ge and Zhang Dapo held their breath and watched the man fishing.

Both of them had seen the king fish take the bait and knew that there was indeed a monster living in the reservoir.

It was a dark night, with no stars or moon visible. The sky was obscured by dark clouds, and the water surface in the reservoir was equally dark. The sky and the water surface looked like a gaping mouth, and the fisherman was trying to row towards the depths of the mouth.

"We're almost there." Sitting in the boat, the fisherman stared at the luminous float not far away. He gritted his teeth and forced himself not to look at the water around him.

"Nothing will happen. The fish king is frightened and should avoid the boat now. When the police came to retrieve the body at night, this damn thing avoided it." The fisherman comforted himself in his heart. His hands moved faster and faster, not daring to delay for even a moment.

It was so quiet around that the only sound was the sound of the oars hitting the water, which made the fisherman feel inexplicably irritated.

"The float seems to be still drifting forward. The direction of the water flow is not favorable to me, but fortunately, the hemp rope is very long. I just need to retrieve it before the hemp rope becomes straight."

One end of the hemp rope is tied to the boat pile, and the other end is tied to the bow, connecting the boat to the shore, like a safety rope.

Perhaps due to the water flow, there was always a distance between the man and the fishing float.

As the boat rowed further and further away, Zhang Dapo slowly realized something was wrong: "He's already ten meters ahead of us, but the longest rope in my warehouse is only ten meters long. Could it be that he tied several ropes together?"

Zhang Dapo reached out and grabbed the hemp rope that sank under the water with doubt. He tried to pull it back but did not encounter much resistance.

"not good!"

He screamed and quickly pulled the rope back with both hands, only to find that the hemp rope connecting the shore and the boat had been broken at some point!

"Come back quickly! The rope has been bitten off!" Zhang Daopo was suddenly panicked and shouted at the fisherman.

Chen Ge did not expect such a change to happen. He looked at the broken end of the hemp rope, which was jagged and did not look like it was cut by a knife. Instead, it looked like it was bitten off by something.

"This 'fish king' is not simple, as it can bite through the hemp rope in such a short time." Chen Ge reached out and touched the edge of the hemp rope. The rope gave off a faint fishy smell, probably because it had been soaked in water for a long time. He carefully checked the broken end and found that there were dense teeth marks left on the rope near the broken end.

"It doesn't look like it was bitten by a single fish. It looks more like it was bitten by many fish at the same time." Chen Ge always felt that the tooth marks looked strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange.

Zhang Dapo was still calling out to the fisherman desperately, but the fisherman seemed to be deaf to his calls.

"Possessed?"

When Zhang Dapo was getting anxious and helpless, the fisherman finally approached the luminous float.

"Only two meters left!" The fisherman was sitting with his back to Chen Ge and Zhang Dapo. He did not look back. He only knew that the hemp rope was connected to the boat piles on the shore. When the rope reached its limit, the boat would be pulled by the rope. Now he could still row forward, which meant that he was no more than ten meters away from the river bank.

"Come back!"

There was a faint sound coming from behind, but the fisherman seemed to be confused, his dead fish eyes were fixed on the luminous float.

Only one meter left.

He moved forward to sit on the bow and raised the fishing light.

The light shone on the water, and he found that even at this time the luminous float was still drifting forward, and the direction of the drift did not seem to be completely consistent with the direction of the water flow, as if there was something under the float dragging it slowly forward.

The fisherman looked at the luminous float and felt absurd.

It was as if the luminous float was deliberately placed there by the fish king to catch his own fish.

The special fishing float was within reach. The man no longer hesitated and raised the fishing light.

The light penetrated the water surface, but there was nothing near the luminous float.

"It was a false alarm."

The man held the fishing light in one hand and reached out to the water with the other.

When his hand was about to touch the float, the water surface near the boat suddenly fluctuated greatly.

Then, under the illumination of the fishing light, the man discovered that there was a large shadow rising rapidly under the float!

King of fish!

The fisherman didn't even bother to pick up the luminous float and grabbed the harpoon on the boat.

But when he looked again with the harpoon in hand, the shadow under the water had disappeared again.

"Where did you go?"

Before he could catch his breath, the boat shook violently, as if something was trying to capsize it.

"Under the boat!"

The fisherman squatted down to lower his center of gravity, but the fishing light placed on the bedside slipped off the boat and fell into the water.

“Oh no!”

The man watched the fishing light begin to sink. He was very decisive. He followed the last light and reached out to grab the luminous float. Then he turned back and shouted to the shore: "Quick! Pull me back!"

When he turned around, he realized that he had run far away from the shore without knowing when.

The bottom of the luminous float in his hand was connected to a fishing line, which was tangled with black hair that smelled fishy.
