In the following days, Qin Chen suddenly became interested. While comprehending the aura of the Nether River, mastering the Dao within, he also fished.
In the Bermuda Triangle, there weren't many marine creatures, so Qin Chen had to spend a considerable amount of time each time to catch something.
However, every fish he caught was a rare species from the Nether River.
One by one, extraordinary species were continuously reeled in by Qin Chen.
There were Sawtooth Lanternfish! Colorful Sturgeon Dragonfish! Tricolor Thick-Shelled Crabs! Golden Clawed Lobsters! Giant Tooth Squids of the Nether! Nether Flame Giant-Spotted Fish! Heavenly Ghost Fire Stonefish! Various rare species from the Nether River were caught one after another by Qin Chen.
The gnome elder watched in astonishment.
However, these fish were not ordinary; their power was extraordinary. For instance, the Tricolor Thick-Shelled Crab, if its pincers clamped onto someone, it could easily sever them, much like how a curse from Gu Li Mo would act, in an instant.
Then there was the Nether Sawtooth Squid, which, when caught, sprayed out a terrifying black venom. If Qin Chen hadn't reacted quickly to activate the rules of time and space to confine the void, immediately storing it in the Qiankun Creation Jade Dish, anyone touched by this venom would be corroded into blood water, except for Qin Chen, who had mastered the Heavenly Toxic Entropy Fire. Even a powerhouse like Chi Tian Qiong would not withstand it.
Fortunately, this Nether Sawtooth Squid was only thirty thousand years old. It was rumored that once it grew to a hundred thousand years, even an Earth Venerable could be corroded by it. Even now, the venom it spat could severely injure a peak Human Venerable expert, making it difficult to resist.
This was not fishing; it was fishing for lives.
There were even a few times when Qin Chen and the others almost faced danger, such as when a Giant Electric Eel sprang up, emitting countless bolts of lightning. It was about to dive back into the water but was stopped by the young dragon, and it was finally captured by Qin Chen.
However, as Qin Chen caught more and more fish, his understanding of the Nether River deepened. Gradually, Qin Chen became completely immersed here, and his fishing skills advanced by leaps and bounds.
A month! Two months! Three months! Amid such delightful fishing, time passed quickly. During these months, Gu Li Mo and the others also caught some fish—comparatively rare species—but in comparison to what Qin Chen caught, they were leagues apart.
In Qin Chen's Qiankun Creation Jade Dish, numerous fish had been stored, enough to open an aquarium.
Even Gu Li Mo had caught quite a few good things.
"Hehe, I must bring these Divine Light Fish back to my clansmen for my brothers to taste," Gu Li Mo said excitedly.
"My Lord," the gnome elder rushed forward and said, "These fish from the Nether River cannot be preserved for long. Even in storage space, they can only survive for a maximum of a hundred years. Beyond that, they will lose their lives and all their inner power. So, when you return to the black market, it is best to dispose of these fish quickly. Even if you want to take them back, you must hurry."
The gnome elder reminded.
"Is that so?" Gu Li Mo's face darkened.
Qin Chen also sensed that the fish he had caught, even in the Qiankun Creation Jade Dish, were no longer as lively as they initially were; they seemed to have lost some vitality.
If they could really only survive for a hundred years, it would be troublesome.
Qin Chen had planned to keep these extraordinary fish for a while longer, hoping to understand the powers within these marine creatures to further comprehend the Nether River.
"Isn't there any way to make them live a little longer?" Gu Li Mo frowned and asked.
The gnome elder smiled wryly and shook his head, "These creatures from the Nether River have lived for years in the Nether River, and they can only be nourished by the river water of the Nether River. Any other water cannot sustain them, so..."
