The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1098 Entering the Heart of the Sea

A new bend appeared in front of him, and Fang Yun turned immediately. The water flow in the new river was a little faster. Fang Yun's expression changed, and he hurriedly regained control of the course. He saw the side of the boat brushing against the shore, and the dragon boat shook slightly.

Fang Yun breathed a sigh of relief. This was the seventh time that the dragon boat had brushed against the reef or the shore, leaving traces on the dragon boat. However, as time passed, those traces not only disappeared, but Fang Yun also clearly sensed that the dragon boat's sturdiness was rapidly improving, no less than its growth in the typhoon.

Unknowingly, the dragon boat was becoming more and more fluent in the Golden River.

Stabilizing the dragon boat, Fang Yun cast the hook again, and the hook and fishing line flew obliquely to a two-foot-long Wenxin fish. The hook looked like it was flying in a strange route, but in the blink of an eye it landed an inch and a half away from the Wenxin fish.

The Wenxin fish seemed to be cut by an invisible weapon, and its speed plummeted to 60% of its original speed!

Fang Yun's eyes lit up. Within two inches, it is equivalent to the hook scratching the Wenxin fish. Before, the Wenxin fish only slowed down to 70%, but now the speed is only 60%. This improvement is extremely huge.

Fang Yun cast the rod again, but the dragon boat moved forward and the fish moved backward, avoiding the hook.

Fang Yun nodded slightly, as if he had figured out something, and then cast the hook at a three-foot-long silver Wenxin fish that was moving in front of him.

The hook and line were the same as before, and the flight trajectory was very chaotic, but it landed accurately on the Wenxin fish, tearing a wound and reducing its speed to 60%.

The Wenxin fish panicked and was about to turn around, but the hook was retracted and thrown again, landing on its tail.

This time, its speed was less than 40% of the original speed, and it was closer to Fang Yun.

Fang Yun cast the rod for the third time and hooked its mouth accurately.

The fishing line was retracted, and the three-foot-long Wenxin fish swung its tail violently in the air, trying to break free, but after a breath, Fang Yun stretched out his hand to hold it, and bubbles appeared out of thin air to wrap it.

"'People with little power have little influence'? That's right. It can weaken many abilities related to language and tongue. It can last for dozens of breaths after being used on the enemy. It is similar to talking nonsense, but different. Unfortunately, it is only of low quality and useless to me. It is said that people with little power can be promoted to holy quality, which is the legendary 'keeping one's mouth shut'. That is the power of saints."

The thought flashed through his mind in an instant, Fang Yun pushed the bubble away and continued to fish in the boat.

Next, Fang Yun kept casting hooks and caught twelve Wenxin fish in half a quarter of an hour. Among them, four were Wenxin fish with a length of 49 cm. The longest one was only 4 feet 9 cm, which was almost a medium quality.

The dragon boat turned a corner and a lake appeared in front of it. Fang Yun's expression was not only not relaxed, but the same as before.

In front of the lake was a lush green mountain with a slope of nearly 30 degrees. There was a river on the mountain rushing down, making a huge roar like a waterfall falling.

A large number of shiny Wenxin fish flowed downstream, including some of the middle-grade ones. They fell into the lake and dived underwater, disappearing.

The dragon boat was running normally. Fang Yun narrowed his eyes slightly to think, and then rushed straight to the upstream river.

Bang...

The high-speed dragon boat collided with the fast-impacting upstream. The dragon boat first rushed up dozens of feet, then the hull shook, the speed slowed down, and then it slowed down to less than half of the original speed before continuing to move forward.

"No wonder it is the Golden River. If a building ship without the ability to break waves came here, it would probably be difficult to move. Even if it has the ability to break wind and waves, it will be as slow as a snail. And the difficulty of fishing here..."

Fang Yun helplessly looked at the large number of Wenxin fish flying down from above. Their speed was twice as fast as before!

Fang Yun tried to throw the hook from bottom to top. After the hook entered the water, the speed dropped sharply. The Wenxin fish next to it shook its tail and immediately avoided it. After the hook moved up three feet in the water, it was rushed down and lost its strength.

A sudden reef appeared in front of him. Fang Yun easily avoided it and kept fishing. He gradually figured out the pattern.

A faint smile appeared on Fang Yun's face. He thought that he was not afraid of fast water and fast fish, but he was afraid that there were not enough. With the ability to make every minute count, he would definitely get something.

After half a quarter of an hour, Fang Yun caught a total of 24 fish, five of which were medium-grade Wenxin, and three of them were Wenxin fish.

"After winning the race and returning to the beach after the end of the learning sea, I can directly devour these three Wenxin fish, so that my Wenxin can go further!"

The dragon boat slowly sailed upwards, and soon, there was suddenly nothing in front.

"No!" Fang Yun immediately took out the fishing rod and took a closer look.

Now we have to go down the mountain!

There is a large slope of more than 60 degrees in front, and there are countless reefs in the slope!

Looking at the reefs, Fang Yun quickly determined that the flying dragon boat must not be used here, because the speed of flying is too fast, and the landing position is difficult to grasp. Even if it lands in a place without reefs, inertia and rapids will make it difficult to control the dragon boat, and it will inevitably hit the reef!

The dragon boat rushed down suddenly, and Fang Yun felt his heart suddenly, and he felt particularly uncomfortable.

Soon, the dragon boat accelerated to a terrible degree. Fang Yun carefully controlled it, listening to the rumbling water in his ears, and watching the waves formed by the rapids hitting the reefs in front of him, and became more careful.

After a while, Fang Yun became familiar with the downstream river and started fishing again.

Fang Yun showed helplessness in his eyes, but he became firm in an instant. Although the experience accumulated in the upstream river before was almost useless here, he could not complain. He quickly accepted this fact and started fishing.

At the beginning, Fang Yun could not catch Wenxin fish, but slowly, more and more fish were caught.

After the dragon boat entered a relatively gentle river, Fang Yun counted and found that there were 19 more Wenxin fish on the dragon boat, two of which were medium-quality Wenxin.

Fang Yun looked at it with satisfaction. This time, he caught 55 Wenxin fish in the Haizhong River!

Although there were no top-quality Wenxin fish, there were 11 medium-quality ones.

A thick fog appeared in front of him. Fang Yun stood quietly on the dragon head and entered the fog with the dragon boat.

After a few breaths, the fog dispersed.

A bright world spread out in front of him.

The sky was as clear as blue crystal, with white clouds, seagulls flying, and a gentle breeze.

The sea surface was azure, and even the mud and floating seaweed on the seabed could be vaguely seen, as well as schools of Wenxin fish.

Whether it was the eye of the typhoon or the Haizhong River, there were many fish, but they were not in groups.

Just under the water less than a hundred feet ahead, there was a group of fish, densely packed together, with silver-white bodies, and roughly estimated to be at least a thousand.

Anyone who sees this school of fish should laugh happily, but Fang Yun couldn't.

Behind the school of fish, a dark sea beast turned its head to look at Fang Yun, then rushed over frantically.

This sea beast is somewhat similar to the anglerfish, but it is a hundred feet long, covered with a ten-foot square of black scales, and has a huge head. Except for the protruding head, the rest of the body is flat. At first glance, it looks like a mountain that has been flattened after falling to the ground.

There is a tentacle on the forehead of the sea beast, and the end of the tentacle is a luminous body, which seems to be used to attract fish.

When it opens its big mouth, it is simply a cave of dozens of feet. The upper and lower layers of teeth are like densely packed yellow stalactites. The smallest teeth are two people tall, and each layer of teeth has two rows!

Half of the sea beast's body is in the water. When it swims, the sea water around it continues to explode in all directions, and the waves surge thirty feet.
