Chapter 1163: Fishing?

Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy

Ye Xiao lightly sighed, turned around, and walked to the small lake in the center of this place.

The lake was the only unusual place on the colossal Heaven's Terrace apart from where the fruits were located!

Maybe there was another man who died trying to get the fruits. Many people moved to the cliff from around the lake. The lakefront was crowded but then became empty.

Ye Xiao casually walked to the lakefront, looked at the water in the lake, and was lost in thoughts for a while. He then took out a fishing rod, tied the string, put on the bait, and swung it to the lake.

He just sat there quietly waiting.

There were hundreds of people who were just like Ye Xiao, quietly fishing.

Countless others just stood around to watch them fish.

Some of them didn't have the courage or didn't make up their minds yet to get the fruits, while the others just didn't want to leave with nothing. They didn't have anything else to do, so they just crowded over to watch people fish, even though they wouldn't do it themselves. It was at least not wasting time in doing nothing!

The men who were fishing kept making sighs.

The water was waving. From time to time, people raised their hands to drag a fish out of the water. The fish would struggle in the air.

People who got the fish didn't seem to be happy. They would sigh, then take the fish off the hook, and throw it back to the lake.

People who were watching would make a sigh after that.

"It's the same thing… Fishing…" Somebody murmured, "These fish are lucky. Even if they got hooked, they would be set free immediately… However, the one who was holding the fishing pole upon us… never shows such kindness to us. No one was spared…" It was a white-bearded old man who was talking. His face was full of wrinkles. He looked suffering.

People heard him and nodded. However, all they could do was to make a sentimental sigh.

Ye Xiao held the fishing pole and didn't move a bit. He was just like a statue.

In fact, it was turbulent inside his heart.

Fishing!

That was right, he was fishing.

Not long after Heaven's Terrace appeared, a few level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivators together made this lake on the platform and brought lots of fish from thousands of miles away.

They put lots of fishing poles on the lakefront.

What they did was try to warn people that this opportunity of being invincible was simply a trap!

What was happening was a superior cultivator in a stronger realm fishing!

Divine Yin Yang Fruits were the bait!

Whoever made an attempt to get the fruits would most likely die!

These level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivators had officially warned the public, that Zong Yuankai was an unduplicated miracle, and what happened to him might be designed to attract more people to go and get the fruits! It was a lure!

However, people barely believed these cultivators. Instead, they suspected that these cultivators were trying to scare others away because they didn't want anybody to be stronger than them!

In the end, this lake became a place where people killed their time on the platform!

Ye Xiao's eyes looked profound. He looked calm as if he was looking in the distance of the void, not the lake.

Every one of the people on the platform was a high-level cultivator in Qing-Yun Realm. Even though not the top-class ones, they were at least powerful enough to dominate a particular area!

In the Land of Han-Yang, these people would be worshipped as gods.

However, in this place, they were merely a bunch of fish.

They were just a group of fish who were crowding to get hooked!

They were a bunch of stupid fish who knew it was nearly impossible to get invincibility, yet they still kept approaching the baits!

Stupid fools!

No matter how kindly people kept warning them, they could only see the fruits right there hanging upon their heads.

As long as there was hope, there were people that kept going to get themselves killed!

It was not a conspiracy. It was an open trap!

Whoever was fishing, he didn't mind if the fish knew he was fishing!

They were confident… Even though people knew it was a sugar-coated poison bead, they still wanted to eat it!

Even though they all knew they were most likely going to die if they took the bait, yet they still fought for it! They just had to try!

They were eager to know whether they were the one lucky man out of billions!

Ye Xiao held the fishing pole and felt that a fish was taking the bait. The buoy had been dragged down the water. He raised his hand, and a big fish bounded out the water.

Ye Xiao was enlightened.

They were trying to catch the fish in the lake, but whoever sat beyond this world fishing was trying to catch them…

What would the fish think?

Ye Xiao's eyes lit up. He suddenly threw the fishing pole away and jumped into the lake.

He was like a big fish that rushed into the water.

He abruptly jumped into the water, which made big waves on the lake. However, people just glanced over and blandly continued fishing. They were indifferent about such things.

Ye Xiao dived deep to the bottom of the lake.

When he saw what was happening in the water, he realized he was not the only one who came up with an idea to observe the fish.

There were many people staying under the water, staring at the fish, waiting in the dark.

They were like a part of the water. None of them alerted the fish in any way.

Ye Xiao slowly moved to a bait that came from upon the water. He hid in a regiment of aquatic plants, waiting for what happened next.

After a while, he saw a group of fish swim over to the bait.

When the fish saw the bait, they burst into an uproar. They stopped around the bait.

Ye Xiao could see that in these fish's eyes, there were greediness, longing, fear, and alarm!

However, they just didn't leave.

They just kept looking at the bait.

The fish had been living in this place for a long time. People kept catching the fish in the lake again and again. They always set them back in the water after they caught the fish. Therefore, many of the fish had been hooked for more than one time…

That was why the fish were all so clever because they had been caught.

However, no matter how clever they were, they just couldn't resist the bait. They would still swim over to it when they saw it…

A fish swam over and touched the bait with its tail. The bait was shaken so that the buoy must be flicking the water at the same time. As expected, that bait was pulled out of the water fast. - Shoot! -

The fish immediately spread out like a bunch of terrified birds.
