Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 394 Fishing? Fishing for whales, fishing for million-year-old whales!

Demonic Whale Sea Area.

This sea area wasn't on the optimal route back to the Space Dou Empire from Seagod Island, but Lin Rong still came. Not for anything else, but for the million-year-old sea spirit beast slumbering at the bottom of the Demon Whale Sea—the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

The calm sea presents a peaceful scene under the gentle breeze and bright sunshine.

A floating island turtle, as large as a mountain, remained motionless in the center of the Demon Whale Sea. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary ocean island.

On the shore, atop the charred rocks.

Lin Rong, dressed in a straw raincoat and holding a fishing rod, sat calmly and peacefully on the charred rock, just like an old fisherman who had been fishing for many years.

Below the surface of the sea, the fishing line plunges into the water, more than a hundred meters into the deep sea. At the end of the fishing line, there is a crystal-clear blue triangular diamond.

Heart of the Sea God, the bait for this fishing trip.

If the bait alone is so extraordinary, then the fishing rod and line must also be exceptional.

The fishing rod is white with a grayish tinge, and looks like it's made from the skeleton of some unknown creature. In fact, it's not just that it looks like it; the fishing rod is indeed made from skeleton, and it was even sourced from a 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast.

The same applies to fishing rods and fishing lines; both are made from the same sinew of a 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast.

Such extravagant fishing is not Lin Rong's nature, but rather because fishing rods and lines made of ordinary materials cannot withstand the torment of the deep-sea whale king.

The azure soul power flowed along the fishing rod and line, penetrating deep into the sea below the surface and gradually merging into the heart of the Sea God. A unique aura of the first Sea God emanated from it, spreading slowly to the deep sea abyss thousands of meters below the Demon Whale Sea.

"It's been half an hour, and there's still no movement. Has the Deep Sea Demon Whale King taken sleeping pills? It's sleeping so soundly!"

Upon hearing this, the floating island turtle seemed to tremble slightly on the part of the island floating on the sea surface, instinctively wanting to leave the territory of this ocean overlord, but it was no match for the human soul master sitting on its back.

It was, after all, a 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast; it had never been so humiliated before.

But there was no other way. For the sake of its own life, the floating island turtle had to use its shell as a resting place for this unreasonable human soul master.

"Quiet." Lin Rong noticed the subtle tremors of the island beneath him, his expression displeased, and transmitted his voice:

"If the fish don't bite because of you, I'll barbecue and eat you tonight!"

Upon hearing this, the floating turtle was so frightened that it dared not move an inch and obediently became a lifeless ocean island.

Seeing this, Lin Rong said nothing more and refocused his attention on fishing.

Since this level of the original sea god's aura couldn't awaken the Deep Sea Demon Whale King from its slumber, he would add fuel to the fire.

With this in mind, Lin Rong immediately increased his soul power output, injecting it into the Heart of the Sea God. The aura of the first Sea God released was more than ten times stronger than before.

This aura spread rapidly. It was only because there were no other sea spirit beasts in the Demon Whale Sea with an age of more than 10,000 years, apart from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, that such a thing could have happened. Otherwise, a 10,000-year-old sea spirit beast would have already sniffed this aura and swam over eagerly.

Ten thousand meters below, lies the deep sea abyss.

Sunlight cannot penetrate this place; in the darkness, only a few ancient marine plants that confidently emit a faint glow bring a little light to this place.

The rich aura of the first Sea God spread here along the seawater, finally awakening the deep-sea overlord who had been sleeping here—the million-year-old soul beast, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

A beam of eerie blue light, as thick as a stone pillar, swept across the area; it was the pupil light created by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King opening its eyes.

"The aura of Poseidon!" The voice was cold and chilling, sending shivers down one's spine.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's remaining right eye was filled with hatred, and its golden pupil trembled violently as if an earthquake had struck.

It was defeated by Poseidon by a single move, and Poseidon blinded its left eye with his trident, thus preventing it from becoming the god of the sea.

Now that damned smell has reappeared.

“Poseidon has already ascended to the realm of gods, so the holder of this aura can only be that bastard’s successor.”

"You came here specifically to provoke me, are you using me as a stepping stone?"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King wasn't stupid. With a quick thought, it assumed it understood everything. Its massive body burst out of the deep sea abyss and, like a nimble dragon, swiftly rushed towards the surface.

As the Deep Sea Demon Whale King drew ever closer to the surface, its undisguised terrifying aura was immediately detected by the Floating Island Turtle, which is exceptionally sensitive to such scents.

"Don't move, nothing will happen if you don't move."

Lin Rong sensed the aura of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King faster than the floating island turtle. Seeing that the floating island beneath him was becoming restless again, he also released his own aura and spoke calmly.

Now that the fish has taken the bait, you can start reeling in the line.

Some baits are meant to be eaten by fish, but some baits are simply used to lure fish, not to be eaten by them.

The Heart of the Sea God has countless uses, so the latter is naturally the best choice. We can't let the Deep Sea Demon Whale King ruin it.

swoosh~
A faint sound of seawater cutting through the air rang out, and the Heart of the Sea God, along with the fishing line, broke through the surface of the sea, drawing an arc in the air before returning to Lin Rong's hand.

A few breaths later, a sound far louder than the previous one, as if seawater was being torn apart, rang out.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King burst out of the sea, its enormous body exceeding 100 meters in length. Just by bursting out of the sea, it caused a massive tsunami hundreds of meters high.

"The Heart of the Sea God!" The Deep Sea Demon Whale King had half its body above the surface, its only remaining right eye fixed on the blue triangular rhombus-shaped crystal in the hand of the human soul master below.

"You lowly ant, are you the successor of Poseidon?"

"The successor of Poseidon?" Lin Rong stepped into the void, arriving at the same height as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's eyes, his tone disdainful:

"Who does he think he is, to ask me to be his successor!"

This answer clearly exceeded the expectations of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Its extremely limited brain frantically racked its brains, but unable to come up with anything, it angrily asked:
"If not, why is the Heart of Poseidon in your hands? Don't tell me that this thing was given to you by a descendant of Poseidon."

"A gift? I'd say that!" Lin Rong shook her head slightly, then changed the subject:
"However, whether it is or not, it's not something you should be upset about."

"I'm not here to waste time talking to you. You only have one choice now."

"You will serve as my temporary mount and assist me in searching for a suitable ninth spirit ring for my martial soul in the ocean. If I cannot find a more suitable one than you before I break through level 90, I will have to make do with you."

"Just a friendly reminder, I'm not trying to negotiate with you!"

"You can refuse, but what will happen next..."

Lin Rong didn't finish his sentence. Just then, the old steward appeared beside him at some point, and the divine power of the God of Light shone like holy light, completely covering the Deep Sea Demon Whale King without missing a single detail.
