Soon, Hu Xiangdong pulled up the fish he had caught, a vibrant sea red spot, which was unfortunately a bit small, weighing just over a pound.
But he didn't mind and cheerfully tossed it into the fish box.
By now, the sun had shifted toward the west, making the water shimmer with golden light.
Chu Mingcheng continued fishing, and when he cast his bait into the water, the scattered school of fish gathered again.
As for the bait nearby, the fish at the bottom didn't even give it a glance.
Not far from the hook, a red figure, outstanding among the school, was hiding in a crevice of the reef, resting and preparing to gather strength for hunting later in the evening.
Little did it know, a strange attraction suddenly awoke it, and an inexplicable desire arose within it, as if there was something irresistible not far away.
Instinctively, it swished its tail and swam out of its hiding place.
