Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 90 Catching a Big Fish
In the central lake of the ice field, Wang Yue was yawning while holding a wooden fishing rod.

Without the secondary profession of [Fishing], he could only simulate the most realistic fishing situation, but the result was that not a single fish was caught.

"Heh, you were so arrogant when you came here, how come you haven't caught any fish now?"

Wei Mu was sitting not far from Wang Yue. Compared to the empty space around Wang Yue, the silver fish he had harvested had piled up into a small mountain.

In fact, there is no need to compare fishing with the helmsman Wei Mu. Even ordinary cat people have much better results than Wang Yue.

"That's not right. These cat people are clearly using their claws to catch fish in the water. How come they are more successful with fishing rods than I am?"

Wang Yue was very dissatisfied because everyone was using the same tools, which he had made himself.

Because he couldn't find any bait on the ice, he just bent the hook and waited for the fish in the water to take the bait.

"Don't waste your energy, young man. Just fish for a while and then lead the way to the demon."

With just a few words, Ogi landed another fish.

Wang Yue looked at the still lake and decided to just throw her fishing rod into the lake.

"When it comes to fishing, the result is not important. Cultivating one's character is what fishing is all about. People like you who are so utilitarian and impatient will never get anything."

Ogi shook his head. He just hadn't fished for a long time and was in high spirits so he went fishing by the lake all night.

Compared with the raging sea, this place is really a relaxing place. As an experienced fisherman, he even only needs a fishing line to hook the fish.

"Forget it. We can do this task another day. Let's go clean up the mine today."

Wang Yue called the cats to gather and asked them to collect all the fish they had caught.

After returning the catch to the fortress, he gave the wooden pickaxe to the cat man and took them to the snowman cave.

"Although there is no treasure, this amount of fish is enough for you to eat for a long time."

Unlike the living dead, cats need food to survive. If it weren't for the help of the players, they would be forced to go to the sea to catch fish again this cold winter.

Omu used his fishing rod to string up the fish on the ground. He passed the thin rod through the fish gills and bodies, and lifted up a dozen fish and carried them on his shoulders.

He took two steps and suddenly turned his back to the crowd.

"Let's go?"

Wang Yue looked at Taimu who had his back to her, wondering if the old man wanted to catch two more fish.

"You guys stand back."

Ogi swung the fishing rod outward, throwing all the caught fish onto the snow beside him.

With another shake, all the blood on the fishing rod was shaken off.

At this time, bubbles began to appear in the central lake, and at the very center, half of a fishing rod suddenly shot out into the sky.

"It seems like my fishing rod is my only catch tonight?"

Wang Yue watched the big black fish mouth jump out of the water and swallow the fishing rod before it fell.

The fish head occupied half of the central lake. Its pair of eyes were looking at Wang Yue, and its mouth kept spitting out water.

[Icefield black fish: 20-year-old black fish is already at the top of the icefield food chain, and feeds exclusively on whitebait]

【Level: 10】

"Oh, I actually caught a big fish. I have a pretty good talent for fishing."

There is a golden dragon symbol on the top of the black fish's head, which means it is an elite template monster. A one-on-one head-on fight is not a problem. The problem is that the black fish is in the center of the lake, and it would be very dangerous to attack it rashly underwater.

"Helmsman, it's time for you to show your skills."

Ogi nodded, threw the fishing rod backwards, and then began to accumulate strength like a bowstring. He waited until his waist was bent to the point where he could no longer press down, then he threw the fishing rod forward.

With a "whoosh" sound, the fishhook was caught on the black fish's mouth.

Then Omu exerted force and pulled the fish out of the lake. He twisted sideways and dragged the black fish ashore with a thin fishing line.

"I leave it to you. Figure it out yourself. I won't help you drag the fish back."

The black fish was not dead yet. Although it was dragged ashore, its health bar did not move at all.

It fluttered on the snow, struggling hard to get back to the lake, but it was just wasting its energy there.

"Cat people, listen to my orders, put down the fish, and follow me to kill the black fish."

It is not realistic to drag such a huge black fish back directly, so Wang Yue can only kill it first and then see if the game system will turn the fish meat into game props.

With the help of the cat people, Wang Yue only needed to stab the fish with his sword.

The monster loses blood quite quickly, so you can kill it happily soon.

[Warning: Water pressure spray]

When the snakehead fish has only 20% of its health left, an early warning appears and a straight-line jet of water begins to spray out from the fish's mouth.

At the same time, the fish body begins to rotate on the spot. If it does not move, it will suffer fatal injuries if hit by the water column.

"The half-dead fish is still struggling, so the cats should work harder. Follow me and run. Don't stand with the black fish's mouth."

Wang Yue started to perform a duet with the black fish. Their hands did not stop while they were spinning in circles. Each normal attack damage plus the corrosion effect made the black fish more angry and it sprayed more water.

In the end, Black Fish's skills didn't even hurt a single cat man, and he was scratched to death by the cat's claws.

After defeating a powerful enemy, the cats participating in the attack were upgraded to level 7, and Wang Yue obtained the spoils, an iron box in the belly of the fish.

[Rusty iron box: Because it has been soaked for many years, the lock of the box has broken, and we can only find other ways to open it]

There is undoubtedly a treasure hidden in this iron box, and the treasure is naturally the toys from the [Illusion Theater].

The box can be opened with a key, but the note on the iron box indicates that this method will not work and it can only be opened through special means.

"Apart from the NPC helping me open the box, the only other thing I can think of is for great strength to work miracles."

Treasure chests without keys can be forced open, which requires a little bit of luck.

Players will pick up a lot of locked boxes like this in the game, but not every box is worth a key.

However, forcing it open will most likely directly destroy the contents of the box, so it depends on the player's own decision.

"Don't worry, as long as the box is with me, the treasure is mine."

After collecting the most precious trophies, the black fish was still left with its huge body. The game system did not include it as a trophy, so Wang Yue had to deal with it on her own.

"Let me use my skeleton to push you."

Wang Yue felt bad that her bone fragments had to be used for such things, but was stopped by Ogi before she could cast the spell.

Ogi suddenly pulled out the fishing rod, revealing the spear that served as his weapon.

"Old man, you are so kind that you thought of cutting the fish into meat for me. You are really smart."

If the black fish could be decomposed into fish meat, Wang Yue felt that she should be able to put the ingredients into a package so that she could easily carry it back.

“I smell it.”

"Is the fish bad?"

Ogi poked his spear into the snow, and as the spear stretched forward, it lifted up long strings of snow.

【Breaking Waves】

Snowflakes were ejected and shot into the distance in a fan shape, hitting the demon dog in the darkness.
