Chapter 663: Blood Sea Fishing Rod
Chapter 663: Blood Sea Fishing Rod
"Hey, wake up!"
"Are you conscious? You're saved, so wake up and introduce yourself. I guess I don't need to name you, right?"
Lindsey patted the girl's cheek.
She was in a deep slumber, or rather, in a severe state of unconsciousness.
Even the pain in her body couldn't rouse her.
Lindsey checked his backpack, and the effects of the Flesh Regeneration Potion were clearly written.
Its purpose was to remove diseases and repair the body.
For a human who had been assimilated by the Flesh Lake for an unknown period, it was impossible to completely cure her.
The Puzzle Solver's skill activated immediately.
[Human Awakener - A girl who was defeated by the enemy, imprisoned in the Flesh Lake for an extended period. Her essence is almost depleted, and she's in a deep coma, slowly recovering at this moment.]
"..."
"Can't wake her up."
"Let's get out of here first."
Lindsey made a decision.
He didn't want to risk the girl getting reinfected with the Corrupting Venom right after saving her.
Lindsey took a Wilted Tyrant Blossom fruit from his backpack and forced it into the unconscious girl's mouth. After putting some clothes on her, he began to dismantle the stone prison before them.
The blood-red water surged in, but Lindsey's figure vanished almost instantly, reappearing on the surface of the Flesh Lake.
"Lord Lindsey!"
Levi was waiting on the shore.
He saw Lindsey's expression light up with joy, but his smile turned subtle when he noticed the girl in Lindsey's arms:
"Who is she?"
"A treasure from the lake," Lindsey quipped, then explained, "This girl's origins must be extraordinary. The Deviators built this Flesh Lake to continuously drain her power."
Levi's eyes lit up:
"Then this young lady must have information about these monsters!"
Lindsey shook his head:
"Not necessarily."
"Her previous state was so tortured that she was barely human. It's a miracle she's even alive, let alone conscious. Don't expect to get any useful information from her."
Levi's excitement faded.
Lindsey patted his shoulder and gave further instructions:
"Continue exploring the city."
"This is the Deviators' main camp. They left in a hurry, so there must be something they missed."
Lindsey placed the girl on the ground.
Levi didn't leave immediately but looked at the girl lying on the ground as if asleep:
"What about her?"
Lindsey's gaze turned stern:
"Leave her here, and I'll 'take care' of her."
Lindsey deliberately emphasized the word 'take care'.
Even though the girl was physically weak, he didn't dare let her out of his sight, considering the strange abilities of Awakened ones.
The girl's identity was a mystery; she could even claim to be a righteous enforcer from the City of Law, and Lindsey wouldn't be surprised.
Subsequently, Lindsey took out a wooden board from his backpack.
He casually crafted a chair, placed it by the blood lake, and sat down.
"The Flesh Lake..."
"I have a vague memory of this... Let me check..."
Lindsey opened his backpack and accessed the synthesis list.
The item he had in mind appeared before him.
[1 Bloodthirsty Wood Core + 1 Advanced Silk Thread + 1 Advanced Metal + 1 Special Metal = Blood Sea Fishing Rod]
"Blood Sea Fishing Rod!"
A smile curved Lindsey's lips as he dragged the item into the crafting panel.
He hadn't synthesized it earlier because of the Bloodthirsty Wood Core.
In his capacity as an Adventure Expert, Lindsey had a special item that he used as a consumable, occasionally granting him a powerful, one-time bloodline ability.
He considered this item as a means of self-defense, which was why he hadn't crafted the Blood Sea Fishing Rod.
But now, a pool of bloody water lay right before him.
Lindsey couldn't resist the temptation any longer.
"Craft!"
【Tool/Weapon: Blood Sea Fishing Rod】
【Using this fishing rod moderately increases fishing success rate. It can be used in environments like the Bloody Pool. However, it significantly reduces fishing success in normal water bodies, so use with caution.】
【A fishing rod imbued with flesh and blood power, moderately priced.】
Lindsey held a blood-red fishing rod in his hand.
The rod was covered in dark spots of varying sizes, resembling solidified bloodstains.
The extended fishing line and hook were not made of ordinary silk or steel but seemed to be composed of living flesh, bones, and vitality! As Lindsey held it, the line and hook squirmed like living creatures!
"..."
"Alright, let's start fishing!"
Lindsey pretended not to notice the oddity of the Blood Sea Fishing Rod.
He cast the rod forward, swiftly changing the equipment in his inventory to the Fisher's Outfit, and sat on a small stool to begin fishing.
Plop—
The tip of the hook touched the water's surface.
The Blood Sea Fishing Rod, like a hunter seeking prey, actively dove into the bloody pool, swimming beneath the surface.
The higher fishing success rate resulted in a quicker bite.
Within a few breaths, Lindsey felt the rod sink downward.
"Did something bite so quickly?"
Lindsey's arm muscles tensed.
His strength, beyond the scope of normal understanding, was further enhanced by the extraordinary Blood Sea Fishing Rod.
So, without standing up, without considering the prey's stamina, and without worrying about the line breaking, Lindsey simply sat and lifted his arm.
The object hanging from the hook's end was forcefully pulled out of the water!
Splash!
A complete human skeleton lay beside Lindsey.
【Bone - A well-preserved human skeleton with little value.】
"..."
Lindsey tilted his head, ignoring the skeleton next to him.
Instead, he cast his rod forward again, beginning his second attempt.
"I know the first catch is usually trash."
"But the second one should be better!"
This time, the wait was longer than before.
Lindsey stared at the bloody pool before him, occasionally glancing at the unconscious girl by his side.
After about half a minute, he noticed the fishing rod sinking again.
"A bite!"
Lindsey's expression grew tense.
His intuition told him that this time, the catch was promising.
He lifted the rod, and the red flesh-like line, along with the hook, was instantly pulled out of the lake, tracing a crimson arc in the air.
"Hmm?"
There was no box or visible fish at the end of the hook.
The solitary line seemed to suggest that the bite was a mere illusion.
But Lindsey's powerful eyesight spotted a short, twisted object at the tip of the Blood Sea Fishing Rod's hook.
He pulled the line closer to examine it.
Attached to the hook was a plump, blood-red worm, wriggling its body continuously.
【Bait: Blood Red Maggot】
【A highly attractive bait for aquatic life, moderately increasing the chances of catching the Fish King.】
【A rare bait with moderate value.】
