Chapter 323 Fishing Techniques

Yang Yi fished like crazy, and he caught 22 flagellums in a row before stopping, which took no more than 40 minutes.

Especially in the first ten rods, he caught a fish almost as soon as he cast the hook, and each rod took no more than 30 seconds.

"I definitely encountered a school of fish!"

Yang Yi speculated secretly, and was a little curious about the underwater situation.

He picked up the light container beside him and shone it downwards, so that the black fog on the sea could be dispersed to the greatest extent.

But the sea water was light black, and the visibility was very poor, so he had to change to a three-eye.

He found that there was a school of fish moving at high speed more than 20 meters underwater, with tens of thousands of them, almost in the same direction as the Nightmare Star.

The reason for the continuous rods was that he was fishing on the school of fish.

Suddenly, a flagellum seemed to have discovered Yang Yi, and broke away from the school of fish and swam upwards, like an arrow from a string.

Whoosh!

The pipefish broke out of the water, stabbed Yang Yi with its slender snout, and then hit the crystal shield firmly, making a terrible crisp sound - snap.

Its snout broke, fell back, and was caught by a skeleton arm extending from the hull and lifted up.

"Can this fish see the situation on the shore and launch an attack?"

Yang Yi was surprised, picked up the crystal shield to check, and found a white spot on it.

This shows that the impact force of the pipefish is not small. If it is ordinary leather armor, it will be easily pierced.

He looked at the wooden barrel on the side, where there were more than 20 pipefish, of different lengths, the shortest was only 30 cm, and the longest was almost two meters.

To prevent the fish from jumping out, Yang Yi covered it with a lid and pressed it with stones to prevent them from escaping.

But now it seems that the strength of this wooden barrel may not be enough.

Yang Yi observed carefully and found that there were bulges on the outside of the wooden barrel, and even a fish mouth drilled out and stuck in the wooden barrel.

Opening the lid, there were three small-sized pipe fish hanging on the lid, with their mouths stuck in the wood.

"Uh..."

Yang Yi was so focused on fishing that he didn't care about the situation on the barrel. If he put more fish in, he was afraid that the barrel would also disintegrate.

However, after discovering the habits of this fish, he had a great idea.

Yang Yi first asked the old captain to reduce the speed to about 40 knots, which was equivalent to the school of fish underwater.

Then he gave the old captain a fishing rod and asked him to fish while driving the boat, as long as he made sure the direction was not crooked.

He took out a hardwood box covered with iron sheets that had not been used for a long time and began to assemble it, pouring seawater into it.

This was the container prepared for the fruit of abundance before. It was strong enough to hold fish.

After finishing these, Yang Yi came to the atrium of the boat, hung the container of light around his neck with a thin rope, and leaned out half of his body to fish.

In this way, he can not only maintain the original fishing efficiency, but also use himself as bait to lure the pipe fish to attack, greatly improving the efficiency of fishing.

The fish that jumped up and hit the boat to death can be recovered by vines, and a small net can be woven on the outside of the hull, which can be transported to the deck at regular intervals.

Relying on this fishing method, Yang Yi caught more than 300 pipe fish in just one hour.

More than 70% of them were dead fish, most of which were killed by hitting the crystal shield.

Three hours later, there were no more pipe fish jumping out to attack on the sea surface, and the fish caught on the hook also changed species.

Yang Yi noticed something was wrong, and looked at the sea surface with three eyes again, and found that the fish below had disappeared without a trace.

"It's a pity to lose it." Yang Yi said angrily.

You know, the fish school is composed of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of fish, and the ones he caught are less than one percent.

He began to count the harvest.

The pipe fish that were hit and killed had piled up into a small hill on the deck, with more than a thousand fish.

The fish in the iron box, plus the ones in the wooden barrel, totaled more than 300, half of which were still alive.

This fish is very aggressive and cannot recognize its target, often killing itself.

The iron box was even damaged. Although it was not penetrated, there were many holes inside.

Yang Yi came to the bow again to check the old captain's catch, and confiscated his fishing rod, asking him to concentrate on driving the boat and increase the speed.

"A total of 72 fish, there are actually alive, it seems that this fish is resistant to darkness..." Yang Yi judged.

Because the old captain did not have a light container, there was a layer of black fog floating on the sea. This fish could not die after coming out of the water, which was enough to show that it was resistant to the black fog. It might be that the flagella on its body provided protection.

Yang Yi gathered all the flagellar fish together and counted the number, a total of 1491.

So many fish would definitely not be eaten in a short time, Yang Yi planned to dry them and make them into salted fish, so that the storage time would be greatly increased.

He took a photo and sent it to Suna.

"The catch today was good. I caught more than a thousand fish!" Yang Yi sent a private message.

But the feedback was very average. Suna seemed to be busy with something and called him over.

Yang Yi called Xiaoji and asked him to make salted fish and roast a few more for today's dinner.

"Captain Yang Yi, there is little meat in this fish. If you roast it, it is likely that only bones will be left." Xiaoji replied after scanning the pipe fish with the camera.

"Then how do you think it is best to eat it?"

"It is suitable for clear stew and braised, and it can also be eaten raw directly."

"Then braise it."

Yang Yi picked one at random, but hesitated for a few seconds, and took the thickest and longest flagellum pipe fish, which was almost three meters long, and walked to the cabin.

He remembered that this fish can stimulate hair growth, so he also prepared to try eating it raw, maybe the hair growth effect is better.

..............

Two minutes later, Yang Yi arrived at the door of the witch laboratory.

The three-meter-long pipe fish in his hand had been eaten by two-thirds, and only the head was left, and the whole body had entered Yang Yi's stomach.

To be honest, it was not delicious. The fish meat was a bit sour and had a fishy smell, and the flagellum was fishy and salty, almost the same taste as sea water.

He fed the remaining fish head to the gluttonous mouth. It had better teeth and was not picky about food, so it was more suitable to feed it.

After feeding, Yang Yi entered the witch laboratory.

Inside, Su Na was fiddling with the prototype beam hand cannon. On the table was the bottle of alchemical magic ink and the low-level abyss soul stone that had cracked and leaked all the contents.

"You are here, look at this!"

Suna picked up the prototype beam hand cannon.

Yang Yi frowned and looked at it, but he didn't think there was anything special, except for some strange patterns on it that he couldn't understand. It seemed to be painted with alchemical magic potion, and it seemed to be mixed with some fluorescent pigment.

"Did you repaint it?" Yang Yi asked.

"No!"

Su Na denied it, and then let go of her hand. The gun just floated in the air, and the patterns on it emitted a faint blue light.
