After returning from my cultivation journey, I built a farm through fortune telling.

Chapter 172

"Ah, yes!"

Bai Lu didn't explain much, and set up the fishing rod for Grandpa Xu at his fishing spot. Bai Chen was baiting the spot with the fish feed given to him by the reservoir owner.

With a strong flick, the fishing line sliced ​​across the water and disappeared into the shimmering surface. The egret settled down on a small stool and waited quietly.

Grandpa Xu also held the bamboo pole with great interest, even though he couldn't touch it at all. He was quite curious as to why he couldn't catch fish in a reservoir with fish.

"Ugh……"

A sigh came from not far away: "I knew I shouldn't have believed Boss Zhao's nonsense! Ten minutes have passed and there's still no sign of anything! Not even a single fish has taken the bait!!"

"There are so many fish here, why aren't any biting the hook? They even avoid the hook when eating the fish food. Are fish these days really that smart?"

Bai Chen angrily cast his fishing rod, only to find that the hook was still covered with bait.

Where are the fish?

The fisherman surnamed Li stared wide-eyed at the water, but saw nothing: "Such a big reservoir, and there isn't even a single fish surfacing to breathe!"

But in the eyes of Bai Lu, Bai Chen, Bai Wei, and even Old Master Xu, the water was full of fish, just not on the surface. They were leisurely eating fish food, yet they ignored the huge lump of bait hanging so clearly in front of them. Each fish would eat a little bait and then swim away automatically, as if...

It's like they're not hungry at all, but they can come and have a snack!
Bai Lu asked the fisherman surnamed Li, "You've been fishing here for so long, have you noticed anything unusual?"

“Strange? Strange… Let me think—” The fisherman surnamed Li frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, “If you’re talking about strange things, there really are some.”

"The water level in this reservoir sometimes rises for no reason, and the rise is quite large and unpredictable. Once, I was fishing, and the water level suddenly rose by more than half a meter, almost washing away my fishing gear. I've never seen the reservoir rise in tides before!"

The tide is coming in… The egret adjusted its hat. Does this mean the reservoir is connected to other unknown bodies of water, like an underground river or something…?

The fish here are incredibly intelligent, unlike the legendary "three-second memory".

Thinking this, Bailu cast her fishing rod, changed to a new bait, and infused it with a trace of spiritual energy while kneading it.

How can ordinary creatures resist the allure of spiritual energy?

As soon as the bait was put into the water, it remained still for three seconds. Then, the water within a ten-meter radius of the bait, centered on the spiritual energy bait, seemed to boil!
This was the first time the egret had ever seen such a high density of fish!
"Wow...there really are fish!"

The angler surnamed Li was fishing in the "ten-meter" range. Although he didn't catch any fish, his fishing line got caught on the dorsal fin of a fish and was dragged into the water. He stretched out his hand and watched the fishing rod drift further and further away as the fish surged. When he realized he couldn't get it back, he gave up and immediately picked up the landing net and scooped the fish into the school of fish!

Holding the net in both hands, he dragged a carp weighing about ten pounds ashore.

Don’t panic when something happens, just take out your phone and post to your Moments.

[Sunny day, caught a big goldfish in the black pit of Baohulu Reservoir [smile] [smile]]

The first fish we caught after opening!

I have to show it off!

The reservoir owner is almost in tears!
He said it! He said it! There really are fish in his reservoir!
But they never show their faces usually, so what's going on today?
