Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 63 Fish is not fish, man is not man

Under the light of the flashlight, the dark lake water gurgled and was not calm.

But the water surface of the Yadongpo Reservoir outside was calm, without much ups and downs.

"Brother, don't be afraid for a moment."

Xiao Qi took out a rope from his body, tied it to a few trees, and then held it with both hands and lowered into the well.

"You can't catch any fish at this height. If you're scared, just wait for us here."

As he spoke, Xiao Qi was already alone in the dark well pit. The rope was about several dozen meters long, and the water in the well in the mountain could splash several meters high.

One after another, the strong men climbed down holding the rope. They threw three inflatable boats into the lake, connected them two by two with ropes, and then tied them to this rope.

Not all of the strong men went down. Two of them were left up there to keep watch and prevent Chen Ning'an from doing anything impulsive.

"Hey~ Employer, you're not really going to go down there, are you?"

The man who was on lookout saw Chen Ning'an following the rope to the edge of the pit and took out a pair of heavy gloves from his side.

"Remember to wear gloves. If you slip down this rope, the flesh on your hands will be rubbed off. I'm not kidding."

"Need not."

Chen Ning'an grabbed the rope with one hand and slid down. The so-called friction only made his palm slightly warm.

The further we went down, the darker it became. There was no light above our heads. Only the flashlights of Xiao Qi and a few others below us guided us to our destination.

Chen Ning'an clenched his fist and tightened the rope in mid-air, stopping his figure.

The rope is coming down along the cliff, so there should be a cliff behind him.

But when he groped with his other hand, he felt nothing but emptiness. The vision was completely dark. This emptiness was abnormal.

He thought it was just a cliff cave, but as he continued to go down, the rope was soaked and full of the fishy smell of lake water, but he still found nothing.

He said nothing, and observed more clearly during the day, until he finally landed on the steamboat, which was fixed at the end of a rope.

Xiao Qi frowned, and was startled by the person who suddenly fell from above.

But when he saw it was Chen Ningan, his surprise immediately turned into a smile.

"Brother, you are the bravest I have ever seen. And you are just in time. Let's make a nest."

As they were talking about making a nest, the people on their other airboat were already tearing open the long package.

Instantly, a stronger stench spread out, and under the light of the flashlight, Chen Ningan could see clearly what it was.

A rotten corpse that had just been dug out.

His guess was correct, as he saw the body being pushed into the water, and soon the sound of waves on the water surface became louder.

The airboat was rocking, and the sound of the waves gradually turned into rolling.

"Wow~"

A white thing suddenly jumped high up from the water, appearing only for a moment under the light.

Chen Ning'an's eyes were sharp. That thing was not a fish, at least the lower part of the fish would not separate.

The rotting corpses made the place boil quickly. The water surface was reflecting in Xiao Qi's light, and white things kept flashing by.

"Bait!"

He shouted, opened the box of black fish, picked up the huge hook, pierced the back of the ten-jin small black fish, and threw it quickly into the dense water splashing.
The black carp was not dead yet and was swimming quickly in the water. A white thing quickly stared at the swimming black carp.

"Wow!"

It bit the hook!

In a flash, Xiao Qi threw the rope to a few strong men, who held on to it tightly.

The airship suddenly moved forward a bit. It was so powerful that several strong men could hardly hold it back.

The airboat was moving towards the darkness, but because the rope connecting them to the bottom was fixed to the tree, it finally stopped at the limit. Half of the boat was in the water, and the other half was pulled out of the water, which was because there were several strong men on the boat.

"Brothers, work harder!"

Xiao Qi yelled, "This one is huge, probably weighing more than 100 kilograms! We can't let it get away."

They wore gloves, and their hooks and fishing lines were specially made and stretched straight.

Huge cargo weighing more than 100 kilograms?
Xiao Qi and the others' faces turned red, and the ropes in their hands kept sliding forward.

The rope they were using to come down also made a tense "bang" sound and seemed to be about to break.

Chen Ning'an put his hand on the rope. The power of this thing was indeed huge, and he was a little surprised.

But as he exerted force, the hundred-pound cargo became just a piece of cake, and Xiao Qi and the others felt their hands loosen.

Oh no, it’s decoupled.

This was their first thought: how much would a hundred-pound cargo cost?

But soon Xiao Qi saw the straight rope in Chen Ning'an's hand and the airboat that was still rising, and realized that Chen Ning'an had taken over their pulling.

"Brother, be careful, don't get pulled into the water!"

Xiao Qi shouted anxiously, they were not these few people before, someone was accidentally pulled down, and until now even the shadow of the corpse could not be seen.

But soon, Xiao Qi stopped talking, and saw Chen Ning'an reeling in the line with both hands alternately. The huge cargo that several of them could hardly hold was pulled out of the water step by step.

It was white, and Chen Ning'an was surprised. This thing was in human shape!
There is no nose or ears. What emerges from the water is a head with eyes on both sides and a mouth split all the way to the neck!

The herring with the hook was swallowed into its stomach, and its fleshy fins were waving as it struggled in pain.

As Chen Ning'an continued to lift up, the legs of the big black carp also emerged from the water.

It struggled even more violently, and Xiao Qi immediately reminded: "Knock it out quickly, or its fin will pierce the airship!"

Chen Ning'an stretched out his hand and clapped it, and the "green fish" immediately stopped moving.

Sure enough, rich energy and blood permeated the cracked wound.

But this is different from what he eats every day.

"Giant cargo, huge cargo!"

Xiao Qi treated it as a treasure. He took out the mineral water bottle skillfully, cut open the spine of the thing with a knife, and drew out the gray liquid from it.

He put the liquid away and continued to praise Chen Ning'an.

"Brother, now I know why you are so brave. You have such great strength!"

"We eat this stuff too, but you're so strong that you can pull it out of the water by yourself!"

Chen Ning'an was not emotionally moved by the praise. He said calmly, "Is this a big black carp?"

"Hey, brother, you don't know, this thing just hasn't seen the light of day yet. When the sun shines on it, it will turn into a big black carp."

Xiao Qi showed a sense of pride on his face about this thing. With this secret, he has accumulated assets worth tens of thousands.

Many people come to him to order meat, and he has become very skilled in his business.

"You've been doing this for quite some time, haven't you?"

Chen Ning'an looked at the bottle of mineral water he put into his backpack and was a little concerned about the gray liquid inside.

These things are not acceptable to normal people. Xiao Qi and the several big men next to him do not have the aura of the lantern world. No wonder they have been able to do this for so long.

"Brother, you've seen what we're fighting for. We ate quite a lot. I'm telling you the truth."

Xiao Qi grinned and said, "We have been doing this for five years. We are in a marginal business and have been stuck in the quagmire for most of our lives."

"Do you still dare to buy these goods now?"
