Chapter 1310: Chapter 1310
The National Master asked, "How can we fish for this command token?"
Yutomi Jūrō awkwardly said, "The hint did not specify, and this is the only hint we can exchange for this adventure, so... there’s a high chance even the Da Luo World Gate doesn’t know."
"So it all relies on luck?"
Yutomi Jūrō was unable to respond. With such a long Road of Despair and countless Temporal Chaos Layers, fishing for a command token based solely on luck was almost impossible!
Yutomi Jūrō bowed and said, "The four of them are already fishing along the Road of Despair. I also plan to go, please wait for me here, Master."
The National Master gently shook his head: "Foolish."
Yutomi Jūrō did not dare to refute and bowed in apology. The National Master said, "Offer rewards to all the Treasure Fishers in the city. If anyone can fish up the command token, we can trade a Seven Mountains Divine Artifact for it. If they do not want the Divine Artifact, they can also opt for wealth of equal value."
Yutomi Jūrō was taken aback: "Master, won’t the secret of the command token leak if we do this?"
"Only the six of us know the purpose of the command token, who would know if we don’t tell?"
"But if someone really manages to fish it up, I’m afraid these greedy Red Barbarians won’t be satisfied with only a Seven Mountains Divine Artifact. They will demand more from us."
The National Master revealed a slight smile, "They need more power than the victim to extort. If they lack the power, it means suicide."
Yutomi Jūrō: "I understand, Master. I will handle this immediately."
Joel George and Oliver failed to rely on luck. They were nearly sticking to Sun Da Ren, yet their fish lines remained still. They watched as Sun Da Ren fished a treasure every ten to twenty minutes, mostly Three or Four Mountains Divine Creations.
Although these were insignificant to Sun Da Ren, for the average Treasure Fisher, obtaining even one was a significant haul!
During this process, Sun Da Ren figured out some patterns of the Temporal Chaos Layers. The most dangerous layer his fish line had entered was where his divine sense was compressed to a range of five fathoms, where he fished up a Five Mountains Divine Artifact.
Sun Da Ren did not plan to sell these Divine Artifacts. He intended to take them back for his followers, the "heretics", to buy their loyalty.
It appears the Road of Despair was deadly for anyone below the Power of Five Mountains. As soon as one stepped onto it, they would disappear. If one was of Seven Mountains Power or at the Seventh Level, they could probably last a long distance.
Sun Da Ren cast his line again, the fish line whizzed through the air above the Road of Despair, dropping into a new Temporal Chaos Layer. Sun Da Ren immediately felt a great pressure on his divine sense, compressing it within a range of one fathom. This Temporal Chaos Layer was extremely dangerous, even for someone at the Seventh Level!
Sun Da Ren was slightly worried, but also excited. Could he fish up a Divine Artifact of Seven Mountain or higher here?
But the perception within one fathom was too limited. Sun Da Ren tried repeatedly, but found nothing. Joel George and Oliver, sitting beside him, suddenly noticed that the newcomer had stopped.
"He’s finally stopped..." This thought simultaneously emerged in their minds. Looking down, they saw eight fully packed black cloth bags piled beside the newcomer’s feet. The key point was, four of them were theirs! The city’s fishing gear shop habitually gave every Treasure Fisher four black cloth bags. Joel George and Oliver grumbled internally: What’s the use of preparing these bags for us? Were they just a pleasant wish? We had never managed to fill up even one.
But look at this newcomer, he seemed to have prepared the bags just for him.
Sun Da Ren had not raised his rod for two whole hours. It was already getting dark, and Joel George and Oliver were preparing to pack up and return to the city.
Joel George reminded Sun Da Ren, "It’s time to stop, it’s not safe to continue after dark. The Bandit Gangs are quite ruthless." That’s when he noticed the newcomer suddenly hold up one finger, signaling him to be quiet. The newcomer then forcefully lifted his fishing rod, and once again, the fish line was pulled taut!
Joel George and Oliver were left speechless again. Was this newcomer going to end with one last splendid catch?
But this time, the newcomer seemed to struggle, suggesting that the treasure was extraordinary. It was uncertain whether he could fish it up. Joel George understood this scenario, many experienced Treasure Fishers faced such experiences. They would fish up a valuable treasure, but in the end, were unable to reel it in. All they were left with was endless regret... and material for bragging at the tavern someday.
Joel George watched as the newcomer’s fishing rod bent to its limit, the fishing line remaining still, foreshadowing failure. At that moment, he saw the newcomer hurl a golden "fish line" from his hand. This fish line zipped into the Temporal Chaos Layer, seemingly securing the treasure, and together with the other fish line, pulled the treasure out of the layer with a "pop".
Joel George looked at the two fish lines, somewhat baffled: This newcomer’s technique is simply incredible!
Meanwhile, Oliver was intensely staring at the fished up treasure, "What is this?" He couldn’t tell. Sun Da Ren held it in his hand, "Seems like... a command token."
