Chapter 676 Novice Protection Period

The millipede was also very excited and immediately lifted the fishing rod and pulled it back. At first he felt a huge resistance and the fishing line was stretched taut, but soon the resistance disappeared.

"Oh, what a pity, the fish got off the hook and escaped. You used too much force just now. Some fish have thin jaws and are easily pierced. You have to be careful." The uncle looked more regretful than the millipede.

But after a pause, he continued, "You're lucky. You caught a fish right after you cast the rod. But the lure still needs to move. You're sitting like this... Hey, how come there's another fish on the hook?"

The uncle's eyes widened and he saw that the fishing line that Millipede had just thrown out became taut again.

The fishermen around were also very surprised to see this scene. The fishing conditions were not good today. Some of them had been sitting by the river for almost two hours and had not caught any fish.

The millipede had been there for less than a minute when two fish took the bait. His luck was incredible.

Is this the legendary novice protection period?

This time, the millipede did not let the prey that was right in front of its mouth escape. It did not lift the rod so hard and finally succeeded in catching a fish.

The enthusiastic uncle came over again and said, "Oh, it's a crucian carp. It's quite big. It looks like it weighs one kilogram!"

As he spoke, he helped Malu take the crucian carp off the hook and threw it into the bucket beside him. Then he urged, "Hurry up, keep casting. You're lucky now, maybe you can catch something."

Upon hearing this, Malu didn't hesitate to sit on a small stool and threw it casually.

As soon as the lure entered the water, it sank suddenly, and all the fishermen around were dumbfounded.

No, come again?

Millipede raised the rod again, and this time he caught a bream, weighing nearly three pounds. Under the guidance of the enthusiastic uncle, Millipede fought with it in the water for a while before pulling it ashore.

Now the others had no interest in fishing anymore and they all gathered around.

We have been fishing for a long time and have seen people with good luck, but this is the first time I have seen such good luck.

The most important thing is that Millipede uses a lure rod, and he doesn't move. He just sits on a small stool, swings the rod, and the fish will bite the hook by themselves.

This is amazing.

Some people even came over to check out the lure used by the millipede to see if there was anything fishy, ​​but it turned out to be the most common soft bait sold in fishing tackle stores.

Malu took off the bream and continued to cast the rod. He then took out his mobile phone and logged into the player forum of Chiling. He wanted to see if there were any new posts, but as soon as he clicked on one, the fishing rod almost flew out of his hand.

Everyone gasped when they saw this. Why is there another one? And it looks like it’s a big one this time.

Malu could only put down his phone, hold the fishing rod with both hands, and start fighting with the fish. He could feel the dragging feeling underwater was obviously stronger than the previous times.

However, with the joint efforts of the think tank behind him, Millipede finally dragged the fish to the shore.

The crowd was excited when they found out it was a huge carp. The uncle in wading pants jumped directly into the water and scooped up the carp with a scoop net.

It is a little hard to see clearly when it is underwater, and only when we get ashore can we get a more intuitive feeling of how big the fish is.

The youngest of them, Xiao Wang, exclaimed, "Damn, this carp must be 10 kilograms."

“Almost,” said the man in waders, “I haven’t seen anyone catch such a big fish in Xiaoqing River in a long time. The last time was before the New Year. I think it was Tiege who caught it.”

The man named Tie Ge puffed out his chest when he heard this and said, "I posted about the fish I caught on WeChat Moments for a week."

"That's great! I've been fishing here for more than half a year, and I've never caught such a big fish. You're so lucky, buddy." Someone said to Malu enviously.

"Come here, hold the fish and I'll take a picture of you as a souvenir."

"No, there should be bigger ones later." Malu said confidently. This was a bit exaggerated.

The newcomer in front of him was probably overwhelmed by his sudden good luck. Such big fish are hard to come by. It would be good if he could catch one in a day, no, even a month.

If he really thinks fishing is that easy, he will probably be taught a lesson later.

As everyone was thinking this, they noticed that Malu's fishing rod moved again.

Huh?! Why is there more?

Millipede pulled the fish up and found that it was just a bream weighing less than four pounds. He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"Why is it so small?"

"Not small anymore." Tie Ge felt numb, "Leave a way for the guys to survive."

Some of them had been here for hours and hadn't caught a single fish.

Millipede used an inappropriate fishing rod, an inappropriate fishing method, and didn't have any skills. He just fished randomly, and the fish in the river seemed to line up and come to his door.

Someone suddenly had an idea and ran back to his fishing spot, grabbed his fishing rod, ran to Malu's side, and said shamelessly, "Hey, it seems like you have a lot of fish over here, can I cast a line, too?"

"Sure, this river isn't mine, you can do whatever you want." Malu said nonchalantly, "If you like my place, we can switch places. I'll go fishing at your place."

"Ah, no, no." The man said hurriedly. It was already shameless of him to come here to take advantage of the fishing spot, and it would be a bit unreasonable to snatch the millipede's place.

The main reason was that he saw millipedes one after another and he couldn't suppress the impulse in his heart.

I don't know what's going on in this place, but there must be fish activity there, otherwise it would be hard to explain why the millipedes were so abundant without doing anything.

If a novice can reap such a rich harvest, wouldn’t it be amazing for a veteran like him?

However, what happened next completely dumbfounded him.

Millipede still had to cast the rod for less than 10 seconds before a fish was caught, but in the same waters, only half a meter away, there was no movement at all.

This...what's going on?!

The others were also tempted when they saw that person approaching, but they did not act because they were too shy.

But the forerunner still didn't catch any fish, and people started to talk about it.

"Xiao Yu, did you forget to put up the bait?"

"No, I'm dead." Xiao Yu was also confused. He pulled up the fishing rod and confirmed it again. The bait was still on the hook, but no fish was caught.

On the other hand, the millipede had filled his bucket with fish in less than 10 minutes after sitting down.

Tie Ge simply lent his bucket to Millipede.

But when Malu cast the rod this time, he felt an unprecedented intensity. He had already caught several fish and had some experience.

Knowing that hard pulling might break the line, I first released the brake, let out some line, gave the fish underwater some space to swim back, and then started to reel the fish in.

When the fish moves to the left, the millipede pulls it to the right; when the fish moves to the right, the millipede pulls it to the left. The back and forth pulling consumes the fish's strength until its struggles become weaker and weaker, and then they start to reel in the line.
