1646 Void Fishing! (1)
“The belts were formed by invincible martial warriors? How powerful must they be to create such terrifying things?” Wang Teng was flabbergasted.
“No one knows.” Sikong the Second shrugged.
“Not even instructors like you know?” the hero exclaimed in astonishment.
“Only those in the top tier would know about the secrets of the universe,” said the elder with an ambiguous gaze.
Wang Teng tried his best to calm down. He nodded in deep thought and left the matter to rest.
“Let’s get moving. I stopped because I wanted to show you this place. The energy in the void torrent belt is too disorderly, and our warship can’t enter the Dark Universe. We need to cross directly,” said the instructor as the warship charged forward again.
Boom!
The next moment, the craft vibrated and entered the chaotic void torrent belt.
Wang Teng was inside the warship, but he could still feel the inertia. The ship’s speed had decreased tremendously.
“Did you feel it?” Sikong the Second placed his hands behind his back and smiled.
The hero nodded.
“No one would venture the void belt with normal eternal level spacecrafts. Special vessels are needed,” said the elder, “But, that doesn’t apply to us. These ancient warships handle the stress and collisions.”
Wang Teng stuck out his tongue and asked, “What if an eternal level spacecraft enters the belt?”
The senior touched his chin. “The most likely outcome would be the ship being destroyed and the crew dying!”
The former was astounded. That would be the ending of an eternal level spacecraft? How frightening is this place?
“Come, let’s go out and take a look.” Sikong the Second smiled when he saw Wang Teng’s expression.
The two went to the warship’s upper deck. The ship’s construction was different from that of a regular universe spacecraft. It was like a large, seafaring ship with an ancient style. The upper deck was the ship’s actual control deck.
The hero followed the instructor. There was a transparent protective shield enveloping the whole ship like a bubble.
They later reached the edge of the ship. Sikong the Second signaled Wang Teng to look down.
“This is…” The hero widened his eyes in surprise.
“Did you see it?” the elder asked.
“Liquid energy? And it’s not just originating from the different Forces. I feel like there are other types of energies present as well. It’s very complex,” Wang Teng said with a serious expression.
“You’re right.” The senior nodded. “The protective shields of ordinary spacecraft are easily pierced by such complex energy. If they can’t get out in time, they can basically forget about getting out at all.”
The young hero didn’t know what to say, awed by the new information learned.
“If warships made by the ancient races can travel through the void torrent belt, does that mean the belt can be traced back to ancient times?” Wang Teng asked all of a sudden, his mind racing.
“Your mind does spin quite fast,” Sikong The Second said, looking at him in surprise. “According to historical records, it does date back to an ancient period, but the specific time is unclear.”
Wang Teng stayed silent. He stared at the void torrent belt with shimmering eyes.
The universe was a mysterious place with myriads of unimaginable existences, and the void torrent belt they were traversing was just one of them.
He wanted to explore it, but he didn’t have the ability to do so.
Sikong the Second brought out two fishing rods all of a sudden. “Let’s fish!”
“What???” Wang Teng thought he heard wrong. He stared blankly at his instructor who was holding the two rods at the moment. “Here?!”
“Yes. You might have some unexpected gains. Want to try?” The expert smiled.
“Instructor, you seem to be gloating,” the hero asked curiously.
“How’s that possible? I’m your instructor. Why would I trick you? You’re making me sad,” Sikong the Second said.
Wang Teng stared at him and finally took the fishing rod.
He didn’t mind fishing.
Also, he was curious about the things he could fish out in the void torrent belt.
Round Ball was also curious. “Your instructor is interesting. The void torrent belt is scary, so others would want to pass through it as quickly as possible. Even so, he brought you here to fish.”
“Instructor Sikong is a little unreliable,” Wang Teng thought to himself.
“Hahaha…” Round Ball burst out laughing.
“Watch carefully!” abruptly said the elder.
Wang Teng squinted and he quickly looked over. Sikong the Second flicked his fishing rod; the fishing line was shot outward, smoothly passing through the ship’s protective shield and straight into the liquid energy below.
The process was no different from normal fishing.
“Don’t you need bait for this?” Wang Teng noticed that no bait was used.
Isn’t this a bit reckless? Can you really catch fish like this?
“Energy is the best bait. It all depends on whether your energy is tempting enough,” Sikong the Second said.
“Energy?” The hero was enlightened.
“Why don’t you try? You have many Forces, so there must be one the fishes would like,” the instructor said.
“Are there really fishes below?” Wang Teng asked.
“Who cares what they are. Anything that takes the bait is a fish, right?” the senior replied.
“Instructor, you make sense.” The young lad was too lazy to complain.
He stopped hesitating and threw the fishing line out, copying the instructor’s movement.
However, his expression changed the next instant. A powerful suction force climbed up the fishing rod; his hand trembled and he almost lost his grip.
