65: Baiyun Lake Panshui Monster

Just as expected.

After running the entire 5 kilometers, his watch showed a time of only 12 minutes and 45 seconds.

He ran quite relaxed, not seriously.

If he ran at full effort, breaking the world record would be easy.

After all, his physique is more than double that of an ordinary person.

A physique of two times isn't just 1+1=2; it's 1+1>2.

After running five kilometers, he came to the equipment area in a corner of the sports field and found a horizontal bar that no one was using.

He jumped up to it after spotting it, gripping the bar and pulling vigorously.

Just like that, he did thirty to forty pull-ups in one go.

After getting down, he didn't feel even a slight soreness in his arms.

In this situation, he needed to appropriately increase his body weight to achieve a training effect.

Unfortunately, the conditions at the site didn't allow it, so he had to give up.

Immediately after, he did 500 push-ups, 500 squats, and 500 squat jumps.

Only after completing the entire set of movements did his body feel strained.

An hour and a half later, the exercise ended.

He went home, took a shower, and ate breakfast; it was already past 8 o'clock.

It takes over an hour to get from home to Baiyun Lake, so leaving now was just right.

On the way, he passed a cake shop.

He went in and bought a bag full of bread and small cakes, as well as a few bottles of yogurt.

If nothing unexpected happened, these would be his lunch and dinner.

Once a fisherman starts fishing, they don't pay much attention to what they eat or wear.

Any food that can be swallowed can fill their stomach.

As a famous saying in the fishing world goes: I can go a day without eating, but I cannot go a day without fishing.

Although his purpose for actively fishing was very strong, it didn't prevent him from being a standard fishing enthusiast in the eyes of others.

After buying the cakes, he got in the car and headed straight for Baiyun Lake.

After driving for over an hour, it was still before ten in the morning.

He arrived at the Baiyun Lake 4th Wharf parking lot and met up with Chen Wen and Zhao Hu.

Chen Wen already had the boat keys in his hand.

Last time, when Xia Qi went out with him, she also understood his boat handling skills.

So this time, even if she didn't go with him, it wasn't a problem, mainly because she was still at work.

Chen Xiangbei signaled the two of them to first move the equipment and other items onto the boat.

Zhao Hu unloaded a foldable steel plate fish tank from the car.

When unfolded, this fish tank was two meters wide and three meters long, just enough to fit on the stern deck of the scientific research vessel.

This was specifically prepared for that giant creature, just in case he actually caught it.

Chen Xiangbei gave Zhao Hu a thumbs-up and said.

"You thought of everything. Are you really that sure we'll encounter that Water Monster?"

"Heh heh, this is called preparing for a rainy day. What if we're really lucky enough to encounter it, and even luckier for you to catch it!"

"Alright, alright, it's not bad to be prepared, anyway, we're coming here to fish these next few days," Chen Xiangbei said with a smile.

After Zhao Hu carried the fish tank onto the boat, he called two people over to help him unfold it and secure it on the deck.

It fit perfectly on the deck, leaving a passage just wide enough for one person to walk on either side.

Chen Xiangbei was the first to finish moving his things and stood on the boat watching the two of them carry items onto the boat.

Each of them was carrying several plastic bags, which looked quite heavy, and he couldn't see what was inside.

"What are you guys carrying?" Chen Xiangbei asked.

"Lunch and dinner, of course," Zhao Hu said with a smile.

"What? Did you guys empty a convenience store?"

"Aren't we here to fish? Why did you bring so much food?"

"Correction, you are fishing, not us. We're just here to watch you fish."

"As qualified spectators, food is naturally essential. Eating and watching you fish is just like watching a movie."

Chen Wen and Zhao Hu each spoke a sentence, leaving him speechless and unable to retort.

"Holy cow, what you guys said makes so much sense!"

"So, you guys saying you'd come with me meant you were coming to watch me fish?"

Chen Xiangbei looked at the two of them speechlessly.

From their appearance, they probably really didn't plan to fish.

Their only role was bringing a fish tank.

After they were all ready, he walked into the cockpit, started the boat, and headed towards the location where the Water Monster was discovered last time.

Just as the boat was underway.

These two guys actually started eating, taking out the melon seeds, potato chips, and whatever else they brought to munch on.

Chen Xiangbei watched them and kept shaking his head, thinking these brothers were on vacation!

After sailing for more than ten minutes, the boat arrived at the water area where he had struggled with the giant creature last time.

Chen Xiangbei observed the surrounding environment and the information transmitted back by the sonar.

He found that there were no small islands in the lake or underwater caves or other habitats in this surrounding water area.

So that night, that giant creature should have been attracted by the enhanced bait and specifically swam over.

He didn't know how many times he had chummed that night.

This time, he planned to use ultra-high concentration Secret Bait for chumming.

However, he had to find a suitable location.

For example, deep water areas, and places with underwater reefs and caves.

The reason why these "Water Monster" are difficult to find is that their whereabouts are always secretive.

Furthermore, they have a very hidden hiding place, and they hide and don't come out when there are many people.

Chen Xiangbei continuously adjusted the course according to the sonar System.

After sailing for more than ten minutes, he arrived at a water area that was relatively deep.

The sonar showed that the bottom of the water here was different from other places.

The bottom of Baiyun Lake is generally a relatively gentle slope.

However, the bottom of this water area had a protrusion, with a drop of about ten meters.

If this underwater hill protrusion was hollow, then the probability of a Water Monster hiding inside was very high.

Chen Xiangbei prepared several solid lead balls.

He evenly applied a layer of ultra-high concentration Secret Bait to the outside of the lead balls.

After applying, he pressed it down firmly and wrapped a layer of plastic film with holes on the outside to prevent the Secret Bait from falling off easily during the descent.

Then he threw them into the water.

It would take some time for the lead balls to sink to the bottom, so he returned to the cockpit and kept a close eye on the sonar detector.

If there was any movement underwater, larger objects would be detected by the sonar.

A larger object automatically marked in red was most likely that "Water Monster."

He waited for a long time, but the water was still quiet, and he didn't see any moving markers.

There was no Water Monster here, but he couldn't waste this powerful bait.

So, Chen Xiangbei started fishing here.

The two guys inside were gnawing on chicken legs and scrolling through short videos.

After catching a few Ornamental Fish with relatively good appearances, Chen Xiangbei drove the boat to find the next target location.

The water area of Baiyun Lake is quite large, and it took another twenty minutes to find a suspected location.

Following the previous procedure, after putting down the powerful bait, he returned to the cockpit to observe.

This time, he prepared dozens of lead balls to explore the unknown areas at the bottom of the water.

He waited for a while, but there was still no movement.

He went to the side of the boat to fish.
