Old Liao stared unblinkingly at the riverbank, watching as the huge creature drew closer to the bank and said with an earnest oath, "Holy shit!"
"I, Old Liao, have lived a whole life, how could I do such a despicable and dirty thing!"
"Although this creature is quite large, I don't think it's over a hundred pounds as Teacher Ye said, but even if it is, I am willing to lose the bet."
"But when I scoop up this creature later, I definitely want to take a photo with it!"
Someone by the side said, "Over a hundred pounds, I'm afraid one person can't hold it!"
"But Old Liao, I'm still a bit worried!"
Old Liao said irritably, "Let me put it this way, if because of me personally this fish gets away, I'll jump into the river and fish it out no matter what!"
Since Old Liao had spoken to this extent, everyone else didn't say anything.
Ye Chen really understood these fishing aficionados.
Though everyone usually talks big, cursing each other with empty promises and snapped lines.
But since they gathered together to fish, it shows these people have pretty good character.
And if you don't crack a few jokes, the atmosphere wouldn't be lively, right?
While they were talking, the huge creature was getting closer to the shore.
At this moment, a dark cloud in the sky covered the already dim moonlight.
This made the already dark water surface even darker.
Now, everyone could only rely on Ye Chen's flashlight by the bank to identify the outline of that huge creature.
"Old Liao, get ready to net it!"
"No problem, don't be nervous, this fish has been tired out by all of us!"
"Why does this fish look so white?"
"The fish is tired and has turned its belly over, the fish belly is white, it's not strange."
"Here it comes, Old Liao, it's all on you now, the last step!"
...
For a moment, the anglers on the shore all focused their attention on Old Liao.
After all, Ye Chen had already pulled the giant creature to the shore.
Next, it was Old Liao's turn.
As long as he netted this fish, the matter would be settled.
Many anglers excited to see the action ran over to Old Liao to offer help.
However, Old Liao waved his big hand and rejected them.
"Move aside, move aside, you all underestimate this old man too much. Leave this giant creature to me with confidence!"
On the side.
"Put in a bit more strength, almost there!"
Ye Chen and the others pulled hard at the rod, and finally, the creature was pulled to the nearshore shallows.
Old Liao, as if to prove his integrity, angrily grabbed the net and went into the river.
Using the dim light from the flashlight on the shore, he netted the giant creature in one go.
Afterward, as he dragged it to shore, he laughed triumphantly.
"Haha, why doesn't anyone trust me? I already said, I absolutely wouldn't do such a shameless thing!"
At the same time, all the anglers on the shore shone their flashlights at the much-anticipated creature.
But soon, Old Liao noticed something was off.
Why had the lively shore suddenly become quiet?
It was as if the air around him had frozen, and the faces of the people on the bank were also particularly complex.
Old Liao scratched his head, then turned around in confusion.
With the light from the several dozen strong flashlights on the shore, Old Liao saw a scene he would never forget in his life, more terrifying than a rotten fish mouth.
"Holy shit!"
Old Liao's face turned pale as he cursed, followed by an old man's miserable scream drifting back and forth along Jiang City River...
What on earth did Ye Chen, this kid, catch? It wasn't any big carp.
It was clearly a person who had swollen from being in the water!
And what's more, it was a dead person!
As for the specifics, Old Liao had no idea.
Because he didn't dare to keep looking at it!
Just thinking about how he had scooped up such a thing with his net...
Old Liao turned deathly pale, hurriedly threw down the net, and his legs gave in, almost kneeling directly in the water.
With his heart pounding wildly, he finally made it onto shore in a sorry state.
Meanwhile.
The group of fishing enthusiasts on the shore were completely dumbfounded.
Everyone looked at each other, their expressions filled with surprise and fear.
Then, a scream came from the crowd.
"Oh my God!"
The old man who screamed turned tail and ran.
Following that, the group of old men started to scatter frantically like scared birds.
In almost the blink of an eye, only Ye Chen, who still held a fishing rod, and the still-shaken Old Liao were left by the river.
Ye Chen wasn't that scared.
At this moment, what filled his heart more than fear was bitterness.
What the hell kind of crappy system is this!
Talking about some huge creature, over a hundred pounds.
But strictly speaking, it indeed was a huge creature weighing over a hundred pounds...
Previously he at least caught a fish, although it was dead.
But now, damn, he ended up scooping up a dead person?
Ye Chen, with a speechless face, looked at the scattering old men and shouted, "Hey, what are you running for?"
"It's just fishing up a dead person, isn't it?"
None of the fishing enthusiasts would bother with Ye Chen, all running far away, looking over at Ye Chen as if they had seen a ghost.
After shouting, Ye Chen noticed Old Liao still standing by the side and spoke up.
"Look at Old Liao, he's the one who fished up the dead person, and he's not scared!"
At this moment, with tears in his eyes but unable to cry, Old Liao shouted out loud.
"Go to hell!"
"Told you not to make it so sinister, but you had to place an urn at your feet!"
"If my legs weren't giving out from fear, would I still be standing here?"
Compared to the unsettled fishermen, the viewers in the live stream room were not as scared, thanks to the separation by the screen.
However, they were still shocked by what had just happened.
"Holy crap, did he just fish up a dead body?"
"May Buddha bless..."
"Old Liao is probably going to be traumatized for life..."
"This is too horrific, how can the streamer look like nothing's wrong?"
"Looks like the old sayings from our ancestors are still useful, if I ever encounter rotten fish, I'll definitely take my bucket and run!"
"Although I should be scared right now, why do I feel a strange sense of humor?"
"It's not that I'm disrespecting the deceased, but watching Teacher Ye's fierce moves is really just... it's like dragging a small knife across the butt, I can hardly watch!"
"Goodness me, I'm truly impressed, it really was a bit too much, but the streamer did say he would fish up something weighing over a hundred pounds, and it really was over a hundred pounds!"
"Damn, this is definitely going to hit the trending topics tomorrow!"
...
The barrage in the live stream room was quickly passing by.
At the same time, the number of viewers in Ye Chen's live stream room continued to skyrocket, with the live stream's popularity increasing instead of decreasing.
Within less than a minute, the number of online viewers in the live stream room had reached over ten thousand people.
