So heavy! When Qin Chen pulled the fishing rod, the first feeling was that it was extremely heavy. He couldn’t help but wonder what treasure he had hooked, as it felt like he was pulling up a mountain.
Creak! Qin Chen's fishing rod quickly bent into a bow shape, looking as if it might snap at any moment.
Moreover, the entire starship began to tilt slightly.
"Damn!"
Gu Li Mo and the others saw how bent Qin Chen's fishing rod was, and their eyes nearly popped out in shock. This was too abnormal; the fishing rods here were made from Death Meteorite Iron. Even a Venerable like Gu Li Mo would require a tremendous amount of effort and time to break one.
And now, even the starship was tilting. What on earth had the Lord hooked this time?
It should be noted that no matter how Qin Chen used to fish before, he had never encountered a situation where the fishing rod bent like this, causing the starship to almost capsize.
Buzz! Above the starship, the stone statue puppet ferryman emanated rays of light to stabilize the starship, while Gu Li Mo and the others eagerly rushed over, shouting, "Lord, let me help you."
Such a large treasure absolutely couldn't be allowed to escape.
"Everyone step back, let me handle this alone."
Qin Chen shouted sternly, stopping Gu Li Mo from helping.
He understood that what he had hooked this time was not a fish, but a treasure from the depths of the Nether Star River, attracted purely by his aura. If Gu Li Mo and the others came to help, it was possible that the treasure might slip off the hook.
Moreover, this was also a test from the treasure itself; if he couldn’t pull it up, then it was simply not meant for him.
Although Gu Li Mo and the others didn’t understand why Qin Chen refused help, upon hearing him say so, they all paused, standing alongside him and nervously cheering him on.
Qin Chen squinted his eyes, a flash of shrewdness appearing within them. He was not the slightest bit flustered; instead, his heart became calm.
Buzz! Qin Chen infused his source energy into the fishing line, gripping the rod tightly, slowly lifting the unknown object bit by bit.
This thing was incredibly heavy, almost like an enormous ancient divine mountain, and that mountain was likely comprised of the most solid neutron stars and white dwarfs, with an extraordinarily high density.
But Qin Chen remained unperturbed, completely integrating himself into the task, as the Six Paths Reincarnation Sword Body activated, gradually pulling the treasure up.
What relieved Qin Chen was that the treasure was firmly hooked and showed no signs of slipping off.
"Lord, go for it!"
Gu Li Mo excitedly clenched his fists, even more nervous than Qin Chen. His heart raced to his throat, and his eyes bulged wide, looking as if they might burst; his expression was extremely strange.
Above the star river, the fishing line was slowly being lifted, and finally, with a splash, a black object was pulled up by Qin Chen, revealing itself above the water.
Buzz! As soon as this black object emerged, the calm surface of the Nether Star River suddenly stirred, unleashing terrifying storms. Thunderous roars echoed as the aura of the Nether Star River's waters condensed in the void, forming a vortex that triggered a towering hurricane over the tranquil sea surrounding the Bermuda Triangle.
Boom! In the distance, within the cloud explosion region of the Bermuda Triangle's forbidden area, a series of rumbling sounds could be faintly heard.
"What is this?"
Ci Tian Qiong and the others stared in shock at the object Qin Chen had fished up. It was black and resembled a stone, appearing exceedingly inconspicuous, yet it was swiftly reeled onto the starship by Qin Chen.
Thud! The entire starship shook, almost capsizing.
"What the hell is this?
It's not a fish, so why was it so heavy just now?"
Gu Li Mo exclaimed in confusion, mumbling, "Could it be some kind of sea conch?
But it's way too small, isn’t it?
It’s not even enough for me to take a bite."
This black object was only the size of a thumb. For a bug Venerable like Gu Li Mo, it wouldn’t even be enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.
