Lei Xingfeng asked, "What's the good news?"
Zhong Geng said, "Fishing and hunting!"
Lei Xingfeng came from the mountains. In this life, he knew how to hunt, but he definitely did not know how to fish. Even swimming was a skill that he brought from his previous life. His swimming standard in his previous life was extremely high. In this life, no matter if it was strength or endurance, they were all unimaginable. He was sure that a 100 meter dash in the water would definitely be faster than the 100 meter dash world champion in his previous life. According to his estimation, 100 meters in the water would take at most 5 to 6 seconds to cover 100 meters in the water.
Therefore, Lei Xingfeng was not afraid of water. He even had a sense of intimacy towards water. In his previous life, he grew up by the sea. However, the lake here was not small either. The difference between the lake and the sea was that the water was freshwater and not as deep as the sea. However, the dangers here were not small either. For example, there were all sorts of strange local fish monsters and ferocious underwater creatures.
Fishing and hunting was not to catch ordinary fish, but to hunt those ferocious fish monsters. It was the same as hunting in the mountains.
Lei Xingfeng obviously wanted to see what fishing and hunting was. He said, "Okay, how many people are going?"
Zhong Geng said, "About 10 people, some boatmen and servants, about 10 boats."
Lei Xingfeng said, "Are we hunting the Scaly Crocodile Fish?"
Zhong Geng laughed, "Haha, did you see the Scaly Crocodile Fish we caught? No, we are hunting Scaly Crocodile to make bait. "
Lei Xingfeng's eyes lit up. The Scaly Crocodile Fish was only bait. One could imagine how powerful the prey was. He said, "What is it?"
Star Lake Python!
Zhong Geng's face gradually became serious. He said, "Star Lake Python!"
Lei Xingfeng was stunned. Of course he knew about the Star Python. It was a legendary creature. When did a Star Lake Python appear? He said, "Star Lake Python? Is it a type of Star Python? Or is it related to the Star Python? "
Zhong Geng said, "It is not directly related to the real Star Python, nor is it a type of Star Python. However, there is a legend that the Star Lake Python has a trace of the Star Python's bloodline. Therefore, the Star Lake Python is extremely precious, and its body is a treasure that we cultivators need."
This was a type of creature that Lei Xingfeng had never heard of before, nor had he seen it in any records. Furthermore, it was a creature from the lake, and it was even related to the Star Lake Python. This made him curious, and he asked, "Where can I find the Star Lake Python?"
Zhong Geng said, "If we go by boat, it will take half a month. The return trip will take a month. Of course, if we want to hunt the Star Lake Python, it will take another month. After two months, no matter if we can hunt the Star Lake Python or not, we will have to come back. The rainy season is coming."
Wu Zhen interrupted, "Because there will be a large amount of thunderstorms during the rainy season, and the Star Lake Python has a trace of the natural lightning attribute. During that time, even if we see the Star Lake Python, we will not be able to defeat it. The reason why we hunt before the rainy season is because the Star Lake Python is at its weakest. This is also the time where we have the highest chance of catching it. Of course, if the bait is not good enough, it will not be enough to lure it out."
Zhong Geng said, "I have already tried for four years. Every year, two months before the rainy season, I will hunt the Star Lake Python. Hehe, but I have not succeeded even once."
Lei Xingfeng said, "Is it that hard to catch it?"
Zhong Geng said, "Not only is it hard to catch, this thing is too cunning. It is also very difficult to break through its defense. Originally, we invited a Mill Wheel Engineer, but the news came last night that he was busy and could not come. Hehe, so I thought of you."
Lei Xingfeng joked, "Oh, so I was a candidate. Hehe, but I promised you that no matter what, I will go and see the Star Lake Python. Even if you did not invite me, as long as I know the news, I will go and take a look. It is too rare."
Zhong Geng's face was full of smiles, "That's good, that's good. We will prepare to leave tomorrow. How about you stay here today?"
Lei Xingfeng nodded, "No problem, but I have to go back and send Little Xin back."
Zhong Geng said straightforwardly, "Okay, I will send someone to send you back." He then gave a few instructions to the servants beside him.
Lei Xingfeng brought Zhou Xin back. Before boarding the ship, a few servants carried a lot of rice and various goods. Among them were many things that fishermen needed. These things were not worth much to Zhong Geng, but to Zhou Tong, they were a large fortune.
Lei Xingfeng did not decline, and did not need to decline. This was a kind of good intention, and also a way to make friends. He nodded and accepted it, and quickly arrived at the dock.
Zhou Tong had been waiting at the bow of the ship. He was worried about Zhou Xin, and also worried about Lei Xingfeng. When he saw the two appear at the dock, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he saw a group of Zhong Geng's servants, carrying a load, come to the front of the ship.
A lot of rice, salt, cloth, and some daily necessities were placed on the dock. The servants bowed and left. Only one servant was waiting, waiting for Lei Xingfeng to return to Zhong Geng's house.
Lei Xingfeng called out to Zhou Tong, Zhou Xin, and Zhou Tong moved the things on the dock onto the ship. The surrounding fishermen showed envious expressions. Zhang Laoda, who was on the side of the ship, smiled and said, "Boss Zhou, you are rich!" His tone was full of envy.
Zhou Tong was also very happy. The rainy season was coming. With these things, he could rest for a period of time. He did not need to rush out to fish. It was always good to be lazy.
Zhou Xin was even happier. With so much to eat, this year's rainy season would be much better. However, the rice in the cabin was a bit too much, and the whole boat sank half a foot.
Lei Xingfeng explained that he was going out, but did not mention fishing. For ordinary people, this was too far away.
Zhou Tong said, "A Feng, are you still coming back?"
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, "Coming back, why wouldn't I come back? Hehe, I just have some matters to attend to with Zhong Geng. I will be back in two months. At that time, it will be the rainy season. Maybe I will wait until the rainy season ends before I leave."
Zhou Tong now knew that Lei Xingfeng was a Lun master. He always had a sense of reverence towards Lun masters.
… …
The next morning, Lei Xingfeng followed Zhong Geng's fleet and set off.
There were eleven boats. Among them, three were large wooden boats and eight were ordinary fishing boats. Among the three large boats, one of the wooden boats was wrapped in thick fish skin. Lei Xingfeng asked, "Is this the skin of the Scaly Crocodile Fish?"
Wu Zhen said, "Yes, we only hunted a few Scaly Crocodile Fish. All of the skin was used to wrap this boat. The Scaly Crocodile Fish and the Star Lake Python are natural enemies. As long as the Star Lake Python notices the scent of the Scaly Crocodile Fish, it will not hide no matter what and will definitely come out to fight. That will be our chance."
Lei Xingfeng sighed. This world did not lack people with outstanding intelligence. To be able to understand the temperament of the opponent and then take action against it, he felt that it was very amazing.
Zhong Geng said, "This is the fourth time. The first time, we didn't even see the Star Lake Python. The second time, we did see it because we used the Scaly Crocodile Fish. However, we couldn't beat it and let it escape. It even killed many of our people. The third time, we didn't see it. This time, we prepared well. Although we didn't have a Mill Wheel Master, we prepared a steel crossbow. Unfortunately, after wandering around for a month, the Star Lake Python did not appear."
Wu Zhen laughed, "This time, not only do we have a steel crossbow, we also have a Mill Wheel Master. We should be able to succeed."
Zhong Geng laughed bitterly and said, "If we don't succeed again, I don't want to go for the fifth time. It's too tiring and exhausting. If we succeed, then it's okay. If we fail again, then it's very depressing."
Wu Zhen said, "Master, actually our luck is already not bad. With the strength of a Mill Wheel Master, our chances of success are very high."
Han Xiao Bao silently followed Zhong Geng. She didn't like to talk much. She was also a little curious about Lei Xingfeng. A young man could actually cultivate to the level of a Mill Wheel Master. This was really unexpected. One must know that her senior brother had cultivated for so long and was only a hundred Lun master. She originally thought that her senior brother was already very strong. But now, it seems that Lei Xingfeng was even stronger than her master.
Towards this kind of talented young man, Han Xiao Bao was a little fearful, so she spoke even less.
Tian Dabing also came, but he didn't dare to board this big boat. Instead, he boarded another big boat. After all, there were too few people and he needed to share some of the responsibilities. Then there were a few more trained ordinary people. They were proficient in the water and were strong fishermen who spent a lot of time in the water.
The eleven boats quickly moved across the water. The driving force of the boats was the oars at the back of the boats and the sails. If there was no wind, the speed of the boats would be very annoying.
Lei Xingfeng, Zhong Geng, and Wu Zhen sat at the front of the boat. Han Xiao Bao went back to the cabin alone. There was also a slightly older fisherman sitting at the front of the boat. He lit a charcoal stove and was boiling water.
Zhong Geng and the other two sat cross legged. In front of them was a small square table. It was a very small square table. On top of it was a plate of dried fish, a plate of fried peanuts, a plate of dried fruits, and some snacks like dried tofu. Other than peanuts, there were some local snacks. There was a pot of tea and a pot of strong wine.
Lei Xingfeng drank tea while Zhong Geng and Wu Zhen drank wine.
Eating snacks and drinking strong wine, Zhong Geng said, "Brother Lei, can I ask you … which sect are you from?" He finally couldn't help but ask.
Lei Xingfeng drank tea. After a while, he said, "This tea is not bad. Haha, why is there tea here?" He purposely didn't answer. It wasn't that he didn't want to answer, but that he didn't know how to answer.
Zhong Geng secretly sighed. He knew that Lei Xingfeng didn't want to say. He said, "This tea was brought by the trading fleet. Haha, it's very expensive. It's not something ordinary people can drink. I used to like drinking tea, but later … I liked drinking strong wine. There's a lot of tea stored at home. If you like it, I'll get someone to give it to you when we go back."
Lei Xingfeng said, "Thank you." He suddenly tilted his head to listen and said, "Shh! Don't talk … what's that sound? "
There was a rustling sound.
