CHAPTER 309: CHAPTER 178: COMMANDER’S ROAR

Fishing requires skill, especially when catching big fish.

You must give the river fish space to swim, but not so much that the clash of strength breaks the rod and line.

The single-handed sword at Red’s waist behind Lynn had somehow been drawn.

His expression was tense, eager to try.

It seemed as if all Lynn had to do was give the order, and he would jump into the river without hesitation to battle the river fish...

The river fish continued to swim beneath the surface, as if it had endless energy.

In the constant back-and-forth of playing the fish, Lynn began to feel his body heat up.

However.

The larger the river fish, the more energy it expends to swim quickly.

A few minutes later.

Lynn could clearly feel the tugging force on the rod gradually decreasing.

A smile tugged at the corner of Lynn’s mouth, and he used his right hand to slowly lift the rod upwards.

In the somewhat murky river water, the huge and elongated silhouette of the river fish gradually emerged, appearing before Lynn, Red, and the others.

The rod had no reel, so Lynn could only pull the river fish out of the water by stepping back.

As soon as it left the water, the river fish violently thrashed its tail, trying to break free from the fishing line’s restraint.

But Lynn didn’t give it the chance, using his hand to quickly force the fish into a pile of withered yellow grass.

Red and several guards immediately rushed forward, Lynn following closely behind.

The elongated back was yellow-brown, with black evil narrow stripes, and the sides were marked with many white spots, the belly silver-white...

Lynn immediately recognized it as a pike.

Roughly estimating, Lynn guessed this pike was about one meter long and weighed at least forty pounds!

A text panel appeared in Lynn’s view.

[Hint]: Acquired ordinary fish: Pike ×1, received reward: Skill Book: Commander’s Roar

With a thought, he opened the skill details.

[Commander’s Roar]: Giving a passionate speech to a group of soldiers triggers this skill, which can boost the entire army’s morale, increasing the soldiers’ Attack Power, Defense, and Speed for a period.

Looking at the text prompt in front of him, Lynn’s eyebrows lifted.

Not only could it boost morale, but also enhance the soldiers’ abilities!

A very useful skill.

Lynn even felt it was more practical than the One-Handed Weapon Mastery and Bow Mastery he had acquired!

Lynn looked at the pike with satisfaction.

Even though he had not yet given an order, Red with two guards had already started using wild grass for Bow Fishing Technique.

The pike continued to thrash its tail, flinging some mud onto the faces of Red and the two guards.

With a quick turn of thought, they promptly spat out the mud from their mouths.

Yet their faces were filled with the joy of the harvest.

Even Lynn couldn’t help but smile.

With the fishing rod made by Flint, not only had he avenged the previous snap, but he had also received a skill reward.

The best of both worlds!

He had the guards take the pike back to the castle in advance, to have the chef cook it, planning to eat the fish directly that night.

Once Lynn calmed his mind, he once again got back to fishing.

Due to winter.

Lynn could clearly sense that the river fish in the Acadia River had significantly decreased.

Until the afternoon.

Lynn had caught only ten river fish.

Excluding the pike, they barely weighed twenty pounds combined.

Aside from obtaining the Commander’s Roar skill book, Lynn also acquired a hundred and twenty Energy Stones.

After waiting for two hours without even a bite, Lynn simply gave up.

He glanced at the remaining Energy Stones on the Heavenly Artifacts panel.

Along with the achievement rewards from the Milestone, there were still more than three thousand in total.

After pondering for a moment, Lynn decided to use all these Energy Stones for upgrades.

"Would you like to consume 1000 Energy Stones to enhance Constitution from E to E+?"

With a thought, Lynn answered, "Yes!"

"Would you like to consume 1000 Energy Stones to enhance Constitution from E+ to D-?"

"Yes."

"Would you like to consume 1000 Energy Stones to enhance Constitution from D- to D?"

"Yes!"

Three thousand Energy Stones were instantly consumed.

At the same time, a comfortable warmth quickly spread through Lynn’s body, enhancing and improving his constitution.

Lynn could clearly feel his control over his body becoming more evident.

His eyes grew brighter, seeing farther.

His body was like a warm stove.

The coolness that the river breeze brought moments ago was almost imperceptible now.

It could even be described as refreshing.

Lynn felt a wave of satisfaction in his heart.

However, when he saw the depleted Energy Stones, Lynn couldn’t help but sigh.

The methods for obtaining Energy Stones were too scarce.

Yet there were so many areas where Energy Stones were needed.

Taking Red and the others, he returned to the town.

It was still only mid-to-late December, with the temperature barely three to five degrees.

If the temperature dropped further, and the Acadia River froze, fishing would become impossible.

Walking down numerous stone roads, Lynn returned to the town.

Before Lynn could catch his breath, Kuisi came running briskly from ahead.

Seeing Kuisi slightly out of breath, Lynn asked, "What’s wrong?"

Kuisi, not bothering to catch her breath, quickly explained, "Master..."

"Master, the woman imprisoned in the Red Brick House... is missing!"

Lynn’s brow immediately furrowed, and while stepping towards the Red Brick House district, he said, "Calm down, speak in detail."
