The fisher was not dumb. To prevent an accident, he tied the rope to the front of the boat. If there was a problem, the people on the shore could pull the rope to pull the boat back.
"The two of you stay on the shore and watch. Once I raise the light, pull the boat back." He switched on the fishing light that he carried with him, took a deep breath, and jumped into the boat.
The water was dark, and no one knew what was hiding underneath. It looked quite scary.
His body swayed with the boat, and the fisher slowly sat down. He placed the harpoon where he could reach and clamped the fishing light between his legs. After that, he picked up the paddle.
"Do you want to reconsider?" Zhang Dabo guarded the rope. He was worried that the fisher would not return. After catching so many fish, he would end up in the stomach of the fish. That would be a horrible ending.
"Some fish become more active at night. The King Fish only takes the bait at night, which means that it's that kind of fish. If we wait any longer, it'll be even more dangerous." The fisher forced himself to calm down. He held the paddle with both hands and slowly moved the boat away from the shore.
"This guy is really looking for trouble." Chen Ge rarely commented on other people like that. He was not a good swimmer, and if he was in Chen Ge's shoes, he would not have gone to grab the bobber.
He was not afraid of ghosts, but looking at the rippling surface of the water, he felt an indescribable fear.
It was almost an instinctive reaction. There was a voice in his mind reminding him that there was something under the water, that the dam was dangerous, and it was best to stay away.
The fisher moved further and further away from Chen Ge's group, but the problem was that the bobber drifted further and further away from the water.
Initially, it was only six meters away from the shore, but now, it was more than ten meters away.
The fisher sat with his back to Chen Ge's group. He let go of his worry and rowed with all his might. The boat moved closer to the bobber.
The large dam was eerily quiet. On the shore, Chen Ge and Zhang Dabo watched the fisher with bated breath.
Both of them had seen the King Fish take the bait before, so they knew that there was indeed a monster living inside the dam.
The night was dark, and the moon and stars could not be seen. The sky was covered by dark clouds, and the surface of the dam was equally dark. The sky and the water were like an open mouth, and the fisher was trying his best to swim deeper into the mouth.
"We're almost there." Sitting on the boat, the fisher stared at the Luminous Bobber not far away. He gritted his teeth and forced himself not to look at the surface of the water.
"It's going to be fine. The King Fish is frightened, so it should be avoiding the boats. When the police came to fish up the body at night, it avoided them." The fisher consoled himself internally. His hands moved faster and faster, not daring to waste any time.
The surroundings were too quiet. The only sound that could be heard was the sound of the oars hitting the surface of the water. The sound made the fisherman feel strangely irritated.
"The bobber seems to be drifting forward. The direction of the current is very disadvantageous to me. Fortunately, the hemp rope is very long. I just need to retrieve it before the hemp rope is pulled taut."
One end of the hemp rope was tied to a stake and the other end was tied to the bow, connecting the boat to the shore like a safety rope.
Perhaps because of the current, there was a distance between the man and the float.
The boat moved further away, and Zhang Dabo slowly realized that something was wrong. "He's already more than ten meters away from us, but the longest rope in my storage is only ten meters long. Did he tie several ropes together?"
Zhang Dabo reached out to grab the hemp rope that was submerged in the water. He tried to pull it back, but he did not feel much resistance.
"Not good!"
He screamed in shock. His hands quickly pulled on the rope, and he realized that the hemp rope that connected the boat to the shore had been snapped!
"Come back! The rope has been bitten through! "Zhang Dabo panicked, and he quickly yelled at the fisher.
Chen Ge did not expect something like this to happen. He looked at the cut on the hemp rope, and it was uneven. It did not look like it had been cut by a knife; it looked more like it had been bitten through by something.
"To be able to bite through the hemp rope in such a short time, this King Fish is not simple." Chen Ge reached out to touch the edge of the rope. Probably because the rope had been soaked in water for a long time, it gave off a faded stench. He focused his attention on the broken end and realized that there were many teeth marks around the broken end as well.
"It doesn't look like it was bitten by one fish; it looks more like it was bitten by many fish at the same time." Chen Ge felt like the bite marks were weird, but he could not tell what was so weird about them.
Zhang Dabo kept calling for the fisher, but the man did not seem to hear him.
"Is he possessed?"
Just as Zhang Dabo was panicking, the fisher finally got close to the luminous bobber.
"Only two meters left!" The fisher was sitting with his back to Chen Ge and Zhang Dabo. He did not turn back to look, but he knew that the hemp rope was connected to the boat. When the rope reached its limit, the boat would be pulled by the rope. The fact that he could still move forward meant that he was less than ten meters away from the shore.
"Come back!"
A voice came from behind him, but the fisher seemed to be possessed. His dead fish eyes stared at the luminous bobber.
Only one meter left.
He moved his body forward to sit at the front of the boat and raised the fishing light.
The light hit the surface of the water, and he realized that the luminous bobber was still moving forward, and it did not seem to be moving in the same direction as the current. It felt like there was something underneath the bobber that was dragging it forward.
The fisher looked at the luminous bobber, and a feeling of absurdity rose in his heart.
It felt like the luminous bobber was purposely placed there by the king of fish to bait him.
The special bobber was within reach, and the man did not hesitate. He raised the fishing light.
The light pierced through the water, and there was nothing around the bobber.
"Just a false alarm."
The man raised the fishing light with one hand, and his other hand reached toward the water.
Just as his hand was about to touch the bobber, the surface of the water around the boat suddenly started to undulate.
Then, with the light from the fishing light, the man saw a large shadow rapidly moving up from the bottom of the bobber!
The king of fish!
The fisherman didn't even bother to pick it up. He grabbed the harpoon on the boat.
However, when he looked again with the harpoon, the shadow under the water disappeared again.
"Where did it run off to?"
Before he could catch his breath, the boat shook violently, as if something was trying to capsize the boat.
"It's under the boat!"
The fisher squatted down to lower his center of gravity, but the fishing light that was placed at the head of the bed slipped off the boat and fell into the water.
"This is bad!"
The man saw that the fishing light was sinking, and he made up his mind. Using the last bit of light, he reached out to grab the bobber and then turned back to yell at the shore. "Quick! Pull me back! "
When he turned around, he realized that he had already run far away from the shore without him realizing it.
The bottom of the bobber in his hand was connected to a fishing line, and the fishing line was wrapped in black hair that reeked of blood.
