Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 1213 - 543: Journey to the Origin Dragon God Palace, Dragon Son Chi Wen_3
[By the riverbank, stood a man in a blue shirt, wearing a conical bamboo hat, holding a fishing rod and fishing in silence.]
[You furrowed your brow; the appearance of a normal human male in the Origin Dragon God Palace, a place tainted and overrun with monsters, was an extremely abnormal sight.]
[With your body on guard and your hand gripping the Dragon Spear tightly, you slowly approached the man in the blue shirt...]
[He glanced at you, then smiled and beckoned, "Fellow brother," he said, "the object of my fishing is a rare and unusual treasure of this world. If you’re interested, perhaps you would like to take a look.]
[As they say, ’to the viewer go the spoils,’ should I manage to catch this thing, then it shall benefit you as well, and sharing its fortune is not out of the question.]
As soon as Lin Xun saw this situation, he knew it was likely some special event.
[You didn’t let your guard down and cautiously moved closer to the man in the blue shirt...]
[The man heaved a sigh and said, "The way of fishing is by no means an easy task.]
[He sometimes sat quietly by the riverbank, from dawn to dusk without a catch – what the common world calls ’an empty army.’]
[The fish are cunning, devouring the bait without leaving a trace; the line hangs in vain, missing again and again, eliciting deep sighs of lament.]
[Even with all the patience in the world and skills honed a thousand times over, there are times when even these cannot prevent the fishes’ traces from eluding discovery...]
[The man in the blue shirt, like an old friend, held forth at length, discussing the difficulties of fishing.]
[After talking incessantly for a long while, he finally remembered the matter at hand and, with an excited and serious expression, asked you, "Brother, do you know of what I fish for today?"]
[The man in the blue shirt pointed to the huge, vaguely visible shadow of a scale and claw within the Blood River.]
[Seeing your head shake, he became somewhat excited and said, "What I seek with my fishing is no ordinary thing, but rather the progeny of the Chaos Origin Dragon, known as ’Chiwen!’]
[According to ancient texts: Chiwen’s form is quite peculiar, possessing both the dignity of the Dragon Clan and the agility of fish. With head raised and gazing aloft, its twin horns proud and towering, wrapped in the energy of chaos that never ceased to swirl around them, it was like the dazzling stars themselves, captivating one’s soul.]
[Its body cloaked in Dragon Scales, a dragon’s head on a fish’s body, bearing great fins on its back, wide and outstretched – with a single flap of its wings, it could soar through the clouds of the Ninth Heaven and roam the vastness of all the seas...]
[The more he spoke, the more excited he became; however, just as he reached the crescendo of his excitement, he suddenly heaved a sigh...]
[Today, his luck was excellent, having waited for the once in a millennium appearance of Chiwen, yet alas, his fishing skills were lacking, and he simply couldn’t manage to catch the Dragon Son ’Chiwen.’]
[If you are also versed in the ways of fishing, why not give it a try in his stead? He could see that you were a person endowed with great fortune and perhaps you could even entice ’Chiwen’ to take the bait!]
[Without waiting for your refusal, the man in the blue shirt thrust the fishing rod into your hands, a hint of pride in his voice, "The fishing equipment I hold is not ordinary but was specially forged for the purpose of catching the Dragon Son Chiwen.]
[This rod is neither bamboo nor wood, but made from the bones of an Ancient Dragon, meticulously polished by skilled craftsmen and infused with Supreme magic, giving it a tough and durable quality, as well as a connection to the very bloodline of the target, Chiwen.]
[The fishing line is made of invisible golden thread woven by immortals, extremely tough, able to withstand the ferocious struggles of Chiwen while ensuring it remains undetected.]
[As for the bait, it is the Rare-world Pearl gathered from the Mysterious Sea, fragrant and enticing, enough to arouse Chiwen’s greedy appetite.]
[With such an exceptional fishing gear, carrying its firm belief and infinite wisdom, now it is time for you to hold the rod, and you will surely lure the Chiwen to the hook!]
[You have obtained the ’Millennium Dragon Bone Fishing Rod’ (Special Prop)!]
[As you just took the fishing rod, you saw the huge and terrifying shadow in the river seem to move slightly, but the ’Dragon Vein River’ in the courtyard is so deep that no one knows how far down the monster is, and even when the giant slightly swayed its tail, it did not stir up big waves.]
[The man in the traditional attire saw that you seemed to be unfamiliar with the art of fishing, but he was not disappointed or disdainful and began to instruct you hands-on how to fish.]
[Yet, after assisting you in fishing for a long time, there was still no sign of any activity from the monster at the bottom of the river.]
[The man in the traditional attire could not help but sigh, lamenting that the Chiwen only appears once in a thousand years. If the Dragon Son is not caught today, it might be impossible to have another opportunity in the future.]
[If that’s the case, there is only one last resort left, so let’s treat a dead horse as if it were alive!]
[Saying this, the man started to remove his hat, unbutton his clothes, and strip off his traditional outer attire...]
[You ask, puzzled, what he is doing?]
[Without looking up, the man in the traditional attire replied that the Rare-world Pearl from the Eastern Mysterious Sea could not tempt the Chiwen, and now the only strategy left was to use a human as bait.]
[Wait for a moment, brother. As soon as the fish bites, don’t forget to rescue him from the belly of the fish.]
[As he spoke, the man in the traditional attire stripped naked and jumped into the blood-red river...]
[It was only when he removed his hat and shed all of his clothes that you finally saw the man’s true face; he was not a real human but appeared to be a substantial soul!]
[The man jumped into the Blood River like a pebble into a lake, causing only a slight ripple, with no other movements at all.]
[Suddenly, the terrifying monster in the river moved!]
[The previously calm Blood River suddenly churned with waves so terrifying and massive that not even the tempestuous waves raised by a storm on the Mysterious Sea could compare!]
[You felt a weight on your wrist, indicating that a giant creature had bitten the bait!]
[But before you could exert any force, you saw a huge and terrifying dragon head emerge from the water surface, with the blood-red river water dripping down from it. Below the dragon head was a massive fish body covered with scales, its dorsal fin broader than the sails of a long-haul giant ship.]
[A pair of huge, dark Dragon Eyes stared at you intently!]
[A tide of Malice enveloped in dark aura rose to the sky as the giant emerged from the water!]
[The dragon head opened its jaw wide, revealing its sharp, menacing teeth, and you heard the man in traditional attire’s voice coming from its mouth...]
[Brother, the Chiwen has taken the bait, and you must overcome it in a battle of strength to get a bountiful catch!]
[You have discovered the ’Dragon Son Chi Wen’!]
