Chapter 1563 - 1563
Liu Zhizhong took out the Power Line from his gear bag, already tied with a hook, and handed it to Zuo Xintong.
As he approached her, the night air carried her fragrance, causing Liu Zhizhong's heart to flutter with excitement.
Nevertheless, he said, "I'm prepared in case there are carnivorous creatures here, that's why I have the Power Line ready. You should also change your main line here. Mine is 0.8 Power Line, your main line needs to be at least number 4."
"Alright, I have number 4 line set here."
"Here, you handle it, I'll go back and fix my side. If we hook a carnivorous fish tonight, we'll have a meal for tomorrow, haha..."
Five or six minutes later, both had replaced their big line set, and continued to cast their rods into the water, quietly waiting for the giant creature.
Suddenly, the night float on Zuo Xintong's side showed movement, and then inexplicably plunged down abruptly.
Zuo Xintong quickly pulled up the rod, which bent into a large arch instantly, the fish line screeched loudly.
A huge wave appeared on the water surface, followed by an explosive splash, the sound was tremendous.
Liu Zhizhong, thrilled, looked over. Zuo Xintong's headlamp illuminated, she embraced the rod with both hands showcasing a stance ready to battle a fish, indeed a sight of a skilled female angler.
Then, right after that glance, Zuo Xintong shouted, "Oh no!"
Her main line broke, snapped above the float.
The giant creature in the water, dragging the night float, headed straight toward the depths of Tianping Pond. Not long after, pulling the night float, it plunged deep into the center of the pool.
Clearly, this part of Pot Bottom Pond's center is the deepest area, the best hiding and sheltering place for fish.
The giant entered the center of the pool, soon even the night float was nowhere to be seen, probably won't be visible for a long time. Unless the hook wound on its lip gets infected and festers, the fish will spit out the hook, and the night float will rise. But that might be in a dozen days or so.
Zuo Xintong couldn't help but curse through gritted teeth, "Damn it, it got away!"
Watching the sizeable disturbance in the fish spot, with stars shimmering continuously, she felt truly frustrated.
Liu Zhizhong also felt a bit regretful, saying, "Mayor Zuo, don't lose heart, let's upgrade the line! Number 4 main line didn't hold, should we try number 5?"
Zuo Xintong shook her head, "My largest is only number 4."
Liu Zhizhong responded, "Alright, I have number 6 here, paired with 0.8 Power Line, it should hold! This creature, definitely not just one."
Thus, Liu Zhizhong sorted out the line set again and handed it over to Zuo Xintong.
Just as he reached Zuo Xintong's side, suddenly there was a swoosh sound, startling him as he turned, "Damn..."
Liu Zhizhong exclaimed in surprise.
Zuo Xintong, hearing the commotion, took a look, "Oh my..."
Liu Zhizhong's fishing rod had been inactive, but now it was dragged into the water, the rod holder tilted.
As the rod entered the water, it dashed toward the depths of Tianping Pond like a rocket.
In just a few blinks, the rod handle vanished from sight.
The entire 7.2-meter rod, dragged entirely into the water, not a shadow left.
Liu Zhizhong was dumbfounded, glancing at Zuo Xintong, then the water surface, "That's it, I'm done for, I only brought this one rod, sigh～～～～"
Zuo Xintong chuckled bitterly, "We'll just have to wait and see if the giant will eventually drag the rod to the shore. I refuse to believe it will remain in the deep water forever without coming out for food?"
