From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 28: Encountering a Big Fish

The temperature was around 30 or 40 degrees Celsius. Jiang Yao was staying by the river in broad daylight. Even with some shade from the trees, he was still sweating from the heat.

He had drunk most of the bottle of cold boiled water he brought with him in less than half an hour.

There are basically few people on the banks of the Yuan River at night, but now it is daytime. Looking to the left and right from where Jiang Yao is standing, there are at least seven or eight fishermen in his sight.

Some people just wore straw hats and stood in the sun. Those who were a little better just held an umbrella at most.

The oldest of these people are probably in their sixties or seventies, and even the younger ones look to be around 30 or 40 years old. They all look very dark, and judging from their skin color alone, it is really easy for others to mistake them for being from Black Continent.

"What kind of fisherman are you if you don't even have a tan?"

"These uncles are the true role models for our generation of fishermen!"

"If I were to follow their lead and stay by the river for most of the day under such a hot sun, I really can't do it!"

……

Jiang Yao, who has relatively fair skin, really looks a bit out of place compared to the other fishermen nearby.

Sitting under the shade of a tree, he glanced left and right.

I have to say that even he was amazed by the professionalism of those uncles, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up to each of them.

"It's been more than half an hour since I threw the bait into the river, and I don't know if any big fish have gathered here yet."

Thinking this in his mind, Jiang Yao, who had just gulped down a few big gulps of cold boiled water, stood up and walked to the thin bamboo pole standing upright on the river bank.

After the bran cake on the Liuyang hook is thrown into the water, if there is no fish biting the hook, there is no problem in soaking it for two or three hours.

If the weather was cooler at night, Jiang Yao would definitely wait a little longer before starting to sense it.

But now, he was so hot that he couldn't wait any longer.

After estimating the approximate locations where the baits fell into the water, and looking around and finding that no one else was paying attention to him, he waved his fingers, formed a perception seal, and instantly released a ray of his spirit into the river.

Compared to the night, the spiritual perception under the sun in broad daylight was not only of a shorter effective distance, but Jiang Yao also felt noticeably more strenuous.

"It's such a big river, in broad daylight, how come there are no big fish nearby..."

After more than a minute, Jiang Yao's spirit returned to his body.

He was cursing all the time, and because he had expended a lot of energy, he was obviously much more exhausted than before.

In the past, when he went fishing at night, he was able to gain something and find the right target almost every time with his mental perception.

But this time...

He did sense quite a few of the long black shadows that represented fish, but they were too small and he looked down on them.

After all, performing the secret technique of possessing the body in broad daylight consumes much more energy than at night.

He was in this state of mental perception for just over a minute, and it would take him an hour or so to recover from his current mental state.

If he were to do this again, it would probably take at least two hours for him to recover.

He really didn't want to waste his precious mental energy on a fish that weighed only one or two kilograms, and he felt it was not worth it.

Just now, when he released that strand of mental power into the water, the largest fish he sensed was probably about that shape. It flew past him, and when he went to look for it later, he couldn't find it.

"During the day, the big fish are basically in the center of the river. Only at night do the big fish want to move to the side." "The surface of the Yuanjiang River is a thousand meters wide. The distance I throw the bait is only about ten to twenty meters."

"In this kind of coastal location, the chances of encountering big fish during the day are really incomparable to that at night."

"Forget it, let's take a rest for a while. After I recover, I'll sense it again..."

Listlessly, Jiang Yao sat back under the shade of the tree.

With his head hung, he muttered to himself.

The reasons he used to comfort himself were indeed true.

In addition to this, the fact that he returned empty-handed this time was also related to the fact that the range of his mental power was not large enough.

But he didn't have any good solution for this.

After all, after his mental power entered the water, it could only move within the area where the bait was.

If he really ran around and got far away from here, even if he found a big fish and got on it, he would be lost in the water and would not know where to control the fish to take the bait and bite the hook.

Time passed by little by little, and the sun at noon was hotter than in the morning.

"The old man over there was so hot that he soaked himself in the water, but he still held the fishing rod tightly in his hand."

"They are all so hardworking. I am just a kid, so I stayed in the shade. It's just a little hot. What's so unbearable about it?"

Jiang Yao had already swallowed the remaining half pot of cold boiled water. He felt like his throat was smoking. The thought of packing up his stuff and going home had appeared in his mind countless times.

However, when he saw an old man who was fishing for small whitebait and other miscellaneous fish in the water twenty or thirty meters away, he would immediately suppress the thought of going back as soon as it came to his mind.

After more than an hour of rest, the energy he had previously consumed was finally basically recovered.

Without saying a word, he quickly walked to the thin bamboo poles that were inserted in the river bank not far away, formed a perception seal, and separated a strand of mental power and cast it directly into the water.

Dozens of seconds later, in the river.

"Shit, what kind of fish am I on? I should be near my baits, but why can't I smell the aroma of bran cakes at all?"

"Could it be that this fish is a meat eater and doesn't eat bran cakes at all?"

"Yes, that must be the case..."

This time, Jiang Yao finally managed to sense a big fish and successfully got on top of it.

It’s a pity that there seems to be a little problem.

There are indeed many big fish in Yuanjiang River, but the bran cakes he used as bait are not very attractive to some fish.

This is obviously the situation Jiang Yao is facing now.

After he got on the fish's body, he could see what the fish saw and smell what the fish smelled, but he just couldn't see clearly what the fish itself, which he was forcibly controlling, looked like.

"There should be a lot of fish gathering where the bait is."

"No matter what, I'll go where there are a lot of fish, then open my mouth and bite randomly..."

While there was still some time and his mental strength was still barely holding up, Jiang Yao made up his mind, controlled the fish under him, and rushed towards a nearby location where there were more miscellaneous fish.
