Weird Deep-sea Game, I Can Fish Without Limit

  Chapter 126 Halfway through the fifth cycle

   August 4th, Endless Sea game world.

  Li Feng used the talent of finding fishing spots to catch a bloodthirsty rust-colored water snake and an ordinary rust-colored water snake in Luoxia Bay.

  【Flint fusion progress +1%】

  【Flint fusion progress +0.5%】

  【Overall fusion progress: 4.5%】

  Continuing to fish the two snakes, Li Feng got a bundle of rotten aquatic plants and a piece of kelp.

   They were all useless things, Li Feng threw them back into the sea when Xi Ya was not paying attention.

   "Do you really want to go to Lighthouse Island?"

   On the way from Luoxia Bay to the dock area, Xi Ya asked Li Feng.

  Recalling the two tower guards she met yesterday, Shia always felt that something was wrong with them.

   "Well, go and see."

   Li Feng replied.

  He also felt that there was something wrong with the two tower guards. They seemed to know something, and it was probably related to the Thunder Moray.

   It is about fishing and fusion secret treasures, Li Feng is still worried.

  The sea breeze in midsummer is warm and blows over Lighthouse Island.

  Looking at the unobstructed island, Li Feng and Xi Ya glanced at each other.

  Strange, why didn't you see the two tower keepers from yesterday.

   "Yes... did you go out with something?"

   Shia looked around and asked.

   "Shouldn't."

   Li Feng shook his head:

   "The lighthouse is an important symbol of the pier. There are usually two guards. If something happens, they should take turns to go out. It is impossible for two people to go out at the same time."

   Li Feng felt strange in his heart. He saw that the door at the bottom of the lighthouse was wide open, so he walked in cautiously.

   The lighthouse in the Wharf area of ​​Wind's Rest is considered a relatively tall building in the endless sea world.

  In the lighthouse, the top floor is the lighting equipment, the middle is a spiral staircase, and the bottom floor is where the tower keeper lives.

   Li Feng walked around the ground floor and found that it was clean.

  There are several stacks of thick notebooks for recording logs on the wooden table, and there is no bedding on the narrow wooden bed.

  They actually... ran away overnight?

  A chill climbed up my back, just because I saw myself catching a lightning moray yesterday, so I ran all night, even if it was a stable tower guard job?

   What's more, they may also be convicted of absenteeism.

  So, what does it mean to catch a thunder eel on Lighthouse Island?

  All kinds of bad thoughts came to Li Feng's mind, and Li Feng only felt a chill down his back.

  But before he could think it through, Shia's voice suddenly sounded outside.

  Li Feng ran out immediately, and saw Xi Ya standing on the shore, and asked him to go over with a look of horror.

   "How could this be? It shouldn't be."

  Following the direction of Shea's finger, Li Feng saw a large number of dead lightning moray eels in the sea water on the shore of the lighthouse island embankment.

  The sea water was stained red with blood, and the smell of blood rose straight up.

   "This is too weird."

  Shia stroked her hairy arm and said:

  “Thunder moray eels generally live in the deep sea, and they rarely appear in coastal waters or waters near islands and reefs.

  I saw you catching it yesterday and felt a little strange, but I didn’t expect today..."

   Li Feng also felt strange.

  Recalling that when I came here to fish yesterday, I only read the introduction in the book and used the rhizome of the blood vine as bait on a whim.

  The rhizomes of blood vines are not valuable things, and he got a lot from Gard's wooden house.

   In addition, it was written in the book that the thunder eel likes the taste of the blood vine root, so it was right to try it at that time, but there was no hope at all.

  But who knew that he actually fell into a lightning moray.

  If it wasn't for the reaction of the two tower guards, Li Feng would only think it was a coincidence.

   But now I see that the tower keeper has run away, and there should not be a large number of lightning moray corpses in the waters.

  Now that I think about it, what happened yesterday couldn't possibly be a coincidence.

   "What do we do now?"

  Xia asked Li Feng, she also found out that the tower keeper had run away, and she was filled with inexplicable fear.

   "Business, find someone from the Maritime Police Department."

  Li Feng calmed down and decided to find the tower keeper through the Maritime Police Station, and then ask the ins and outs of the matter.

  …

   "Mr. Rhine, Master Fortune Teller, I think you have made a mistake. The lighthouse island has been abandoned for a long time, and there is no tower guard for a long time!"

  In the Maritime Police Station, a sergeant received Li Feng and Xi Ya.

   Considering that one of them is a bachelor of Storm's End and the other is a great fortune teller, the sheriff is very polite.

   Even so, after hearing their narration, the sheriff looked like you were kidding me!

   "How is it possible!? I'm talking about the lighthouse island on the north side of the dock area. The top of the lighthouse is the one painted red."

  Xia found it incredible, and continued to describe the location and characteristics of Lighthouse Island to the sheriff to prevent the sheriff from getting confused.

   "Yes, Master Fortune Teller, what I'm talking about next is the lighthouse island."

  The police chief was also a little confused, but he still professionally took out a thick record book and opened it to search for information on Lighthouse Island.

   Soon, he found something, pushed the notebook in front of Xia, pointed to the content on the paper and said:

   "Look, the lighthouse island on the north side of the dock area was abandoned as early as 10 years ago.

  Now our ship uses the lighthouse island on the south side, which is the one with the blue paint on the top of the tower. "

  Looking at the words on the old paper, Li Feng and Xi Ya looked at each other.

  This record does not seem to be fake, and as the sheriff, there is no need for him to fake it.

  But if the lighthouse island they went to was really abandoned 10 years ago.

  Then where did the people they saw yesterday, the clean lighthouse they saw today, the island that had obviously been taken care of, and the corpses of countless lightning moray eels beside the embankment beside the island come from?

   "It should be that we made a mistake, thank you."

  Getting this kind of result, Li Feng didn't bother, just stood up and thanked the police chief, and then walked away from the police station.

   "How could this be? We clearly saw two tower guards yesterday, one old and one young!"

  Outside the Maritime Police Station, Xi Ya asked Li Feng.

  Although she was asking, Li Feng could see the fear in her eyes.

  Indeed, according to Player World, they have hit a ghost, and Li Feng is also feeling nervous now.

   "Let's go and have a look again."

  In order to confirm the conjecture, Li Feng planned to go there again.

   "What? Don't!"

  Xia immediately grabbed Li Feng's sleeve upon hearing this, preventing him from walking towards the carriage.

   "You... are you scared?"

  Looking at Xi Ya's expression of "I don't want to go near there again", Li Feng didn't know what it was like.

  It is a giant dragon that has lived for a hundred years, so why is it afraid of such a thing like bumping into a ghost?

   "No, no, no, I'm not afraid, how could I be afraid?"

  Xia denied it with a smirk, but the hand that grabbed Li Feng's sleeve was gripped even tighter.

  Then, she paused for a moment, and said to Li Feng with a pleading look on her face reddened by the sun:

   "Then... Then, can we not go to the island, but just take a look from a distance?"

  Li Feng thought for a while and replied:

"it is good."

  The midsummer afternoon sun is strong, shining on the dilapidated lighthouse.

   Li Feng and Xi Ya stood by the embankment on the side of the dock area, looking at the already desolate Lighthouse Island, only feeling chills.

   "It was obviously not like this just now, and..."

  Looking at the completely different scene in front of her, Shia seemed to find something that made her hair stand still.

  She pulled Li Feng to show him the broken chains on the embankment, which had been corrupted for a long time:

   "I remember the last two times we came, there was a boat tied to this chain."

   Li Feng looked at the highly rusted chain and recalled it.

  During their previous two visits, the chain in front of them was obviously very new, and the boat tied by the chain was also very new.

   What's even more chilling is that they went back and forth four times in a boat that never existed.

   But now, it seems that the illusion has dissipated, and everything here has become extremely corrupt.

  In the distance, the dilapidated lighthouse has already peeled off layers of paint and wall cortex.

   Under the lighthouse, there is a small island covered with half-human-high weeds, which does not look like anyone has ever lived.

   As the sheriff said, this lighthouse and Lighthouse Island have been abandoned for 10 years.

   "So we really landed on this island the first two times? Or..."

  Xia said to Li Feng, recalling what happened on the previous two trips to Lighthouse Island, and seeing the two tower guards who didn't exist at all, she felt a little scared.

   Li Feng also felt uncomfortable, and all kinds of ghosts and legends he had heard all came to mind.

   "Maybe it's an illusion or something."

  Although he was thinking about things in horror movies, but combined with the extraordinary existence in this world, Li Feng analyzed it rationally.

  I think it must be related to enchantment, or spells such as illusion.

"perhaps."

  Xia nodded, and said:

   "But who could cast the illusion here? And...

  If you fortune-tell the fishing spots in the future and come to this island again, will you still come here to fish? "

  The lighthouse island is really weird, even though it has returned to normal in front of the two of them, Xia is still a little worried.

  Xia's question happened to be what Li Feng was thinking about right now.

   After a little thought, he shook his head slightly.

   For whatever reason, this lighthouse island is already eccentric.

  For safety reasons, the farther away the better.

   As for finding the fishing point talent, if you find it here again, it is best to give up.

  For the sake of 1% or 1.5% of the integration progress, it is not worthwhile to rashly get involved in weird things.

  …

  The bright moon sets, the sun rises, and the days go by like this.

   Strange to say, since that day, there has been no strange news from Lighthouse Island.

   Li Feng felt uneasy, and even went to the file room of the police station to check the information of the tower guard 10 years ago.

   According to the file, the last two tower keepers have the same surname.

   But the archives of this world are not detailed, only the names of the tower keepers, without information such as their age and date of birth.

  But because of their surnames, Li Feng extremely doubted that they were the old and young tower keepers.

  So according to the name, he searched in various places in Wind's Breath City.

  But maybe because it has been too long, and because they are not locals, no one remembers the two tower keepers.

   At this point, all the clues were interrupted, and Li Feng had no choice but to give up.

   A few more days have passed, and today is August 10th.

  Li Feng's life these days has been very monotonous. Every day he uses the talent of finding fishing spots, and then goes fishing and killing fish with Xi Ya.

  After a few days of repeated work, Li Feng's current integration progress has reached 12%.

   And he himself was successfully promoted to the second-rank first-rank hunter.

  Open the system panel:

  【Task requirements: Among the surviving players, there must be at least one player who has been successfully promoted to a third-order superhuman. 】

  【Task time limit: eight game cycles (until one hour before the end of the twelfth cycle)】

  【Task Reward: Stop the fusion of the two worlds once; postpone the generation of the next batch of players until three months later. 】

  【Current mission progress: second-order first-class position】

  The task time limit has a total of eight cycles, and now he has completed exactly one-tenth of the tasks in the middle of the first game cycle.

   Progress is not counted as being pulled down.

  However, in the past few days of life, there is something that bothers Li Feng very much.

  Probably because he was young and unmarried, with good looks, and the title of the king himself, which made Li Feng the object of many invitations to banquets and salons.

  Li Feng felt that he was not an aristocrat, and he had no property or land, so he was definitely not a good choice for marriage.

  However, through the past few days of experience, he discovered that in the endless sea of ​​extraordinary existence, becoming an extraordinary is also a very high value in the matchmaking market.

   Also, on Storm Island, which is similar to a fiefdom, having the title of the king and being able to have a place in the Hall of Nobility is also an extremely desirable status.

  All gifts have a price.

  In the past few days, Li Feng has fully realized the true meaning of this sentence again.

  He once benefited from the status of a free man before the Sea Throne, but now he is dragged down by this status.

   Moreover, nobles are really too idle.

  There are endless salons, afternoon tea, dance parties, banquets every day, and there are many noble ladies who introduce their daughters to themselves, as well as various young ladies.

   Li Feng felt physically and mentally exhausted.

  In fact, at the very beginning, he would go to various occasions and meet various people in order to find out clues about gargoyles.

   But soon, he found that it was a waste of time.

   Moreover, young ladies always have all kinds of thoughts. Facing a group of Yingying and Yanyan, Li Feng only feels physically and mentally exhausted.

  So after three days of living in Storm's End Castle, Li Feng woke up early every morning and went out with Xi Ya.

  Even after fishing for today’s fishing spot, I still have to hang out on the street until dark before going back.

  However, he didn't waste this time. He could listen to Shia's talk about the history of the Endless Sea, as well as various hidden rumors in history.

  Sia is a giant dragon, and she has lived a long time, so she knows many things that have not been recorded in books, or are not allowed to be recorded.

  And during this period of time, Li Feng discovered that Xi Ya was a bit afraid of ghosts besides her courage and her age.

  In terms of language, she has dabbled in a wide range of languages. As long as it is the ethnic language that exists in the endless sea, she knows more or less.

   "I don't have any siblings anymore. In order to survive, I have to know a little bit about everything."

   Another day at 10 o'clock in the evening, Li Feng and Xi Ya returned to Storm's End while chatting.

   "Oh right!"

  Shea suddenly remembered something and said:

   “I saw a book written by a troll last night.”

   At this time, the sky was getting dark, and not far ahead, bright lights had shone from the windows of Storm's End.

  Xia recalled the troll book she saw last night:

   "There is a story written in that book, and the text of the story is written in Troll language, but I happen to know a little Troll language."

   "What kind of story?"

   Li Feng asked.

  Trolls are a mysterious and magical race. Li Feng was also a little curious about the stories they wrote.

   "The story is about the Thunder Moray."

   "Thunder Moray?"

  After a few days, I heard this creature again, and the weird incident on Lighthouse Island came to my mind again.

   "Well, that's right."

  Xia frowned, and also thought of the memory that made her stand on end, took a deep breath before continuing:

   "The troll described the Thunder Moray as an evil elf in the sea, who specializes in helping gargoyles and guarding their hidden treasures in the sea."

   "Gargoyle?"

   Li Feng was shocked when he heard this word.
