Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 401 - 196: Epic, Mad Kingʼs Fishing Rod! _3

Hearing this, Lord Cao Xing quickly waved his hand and said, “That’s not necessary. I’ve also caught quite a few Silver Salmon this time. You should save them for your wife.”

Chino didn’t stand on ceremony upon hearing this.

At this moment, Cao Xing came straight to the point and asked, “Sir Chino, I’d like to ask you for a favor, to borrow your fishing rod for a while.”

“Would that be possible?”

Hearing this, Chino thought for a moment and nodded, saying, “Naturally, Lord Cao Xing can borrow my fishing rod.”

With that, he handed the fishing rod in his hand to Cao Xing.

…

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing’s eyes trembled.

Wow!

This was not the golden fishing rod he had anticipated, but a higher quality orange fishing rod!

That is, Epic Quality!

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he glanced at the attributes.

…

After reading the attributes of this epic level fishing rod, Cao Xing’s pupils contracted again.

What impressive attributes!

What does a maximum bearing force of 100,000 kg mean?

Equivalent to a hundred tons!

Doesn’t that mean any giant creature can be caught with ease?

“Truly a remarkable fishing rod,” Cao Xing praised.

And Chino beside him laughed, “Yes, it was given to me by an old friend who passed away. He was once a fisherman living in the Eternal Frozen Sea. I met him by chance when I was traveling across the whole continent in my youth.”

“Apart from his excellent fishing skills, he also had incredibly powerful abilities, and people called him the Mad King.”

Cao Xing also praised, “Ha, what a resounding title!”

Chino observed Cao Xing’s expression, glanced at the fishing rod in his hand, and seemed to piece together something.

This old man was quite straightforward, so he asked directly, “Lord Cao Xing, the reason you suddenly borrowed my fishing rod, could it be because you obtained the Snow Demon’s tongue?”

Cao Xing was shocked in his heart upon hearing this.

This Chino could really read people well.

Cao Xing hadn’t planned on hiding it from him, so he replied, “Yes, I did manage to obtain a few Snow Demon tongues.”

Upon hearing this, Chino’s eyes showed a slight astonishment.

He exclaimed, “Remarkable.”

“The Snow Demon creatures are very cautious and troublesome.”

“While I do have the strength to easily kill them, once they sense danger, they’ll flee at the first opportunity.”

“The more powerful the Snow Demon, the harder it is to kill.”

Cao Xing nodded, having deeply experienced this himself.

If he hadn’t prepared in advance, there would have been no way to kill those Snow Demons.

Chino spoke again, “Lord Cao Xing, as I said last time, it’s true that the Snow Demon tongue can be used to fish up King Salmon.”

“However, King Salmons are elusive creatures. It’s better not to hold too much hope.”

“Moreover, they are related to a Legendary Weapon. As far as I know, the holders of each Legendary Weapon are destined.”

Cao Xing laughed upon hearing this, “Alright, Sir Chino, thank you for the reminder.”

He truly didn’t hold high hopes.

If he couldn’t catch a King Salmon, catching a legendary Golden Salmon would be satisfying.

With this thought, Cao Xing picked up the [Mad King’s Fishing Rod] and returned to his original fishing spot.

The location was suitable.

Chino also came over.

He was curious about what Cao Xing could catch using the Snow Demon’s tongue.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone,

Cao Xing took out a section of crimson tongue from his bag.

It exuded a strong bloody smell.

For some reason, when the Snow Demon used its tongue to attack, it could become very long and attack enemies ten meters away.

However, after being killed, the tongue seemed to shrink, becoming only the size of an index finger, perfect for use as bait.

Chino exclaimed, “Indeed, it’s a Snow Demon’s tongue.”

“Such a strong scent, no wonder it can attract underwater fish.”

Cao Xing smiled and hooked it onto the fishing line.

Then he placed it into the water.

Everyone started waiting together.

Again, not even a minute passed.

A giant force appeared again!

Cao Xing was almost hauled forward by two steps.

But he quickly reacted, sharply pulling the fishing rod!

Although the underwater creature was powerful, it wasn’t beyond Cao Xing’s limit!

The two sides were deadlocked once more!

Soon, the creature below ran out of strength!

With Cao Xing’s sudden pull,

a huge, shimmering Silver Salmon, over one meter in size, was hauled up.

[Acquired: Silver Salmon (Purple) *1]

…

“Amazing, this big?”

Cao Xing checked the attributes, and it weighed a massive 18 kilograms!

“This Silver Salmon alone is worth more than the previous two!”

The effect of the Snow Demon’s tongue was simply incredible!

And Cao Xing was using the tongue of a second-order Boss Level Snow Demon.

In his bag, there were still third-tier Boss Level, even Leader Level Snow Demon tongues.

When Cao Xing took them out, the scent intensified even more.

As soon as he hooked it, the moment it touched the water.

Cao Xing suddenly felt an unprecedented massive force!

He was almost pulled into the air.

Cao Xing hurriedly grasped the fishing rod, but found he couldn’t stop the force, nearly being dragged into the lake!
