Chapter 547 - 547 534 The Shadow on the Water a Glimpse of Surprise

547: Chapter 534: The Shadow on the Water, a Glimpse of Surprise 547: Chapter 534: The Shadow on the Water, a Glimpse of Surprise After much effort, Yue Feng managed to find a fishing spot and wasn’t about to let it slip by easily, so he cast his line again and again.

It could be confirmed that the area beneath the water indeed had some obstructions.

On his fiercest cast, Yue Feng reeled in a tree branch as thick as an arm.

It had been soaking in the water for who knows how long and was thoroughly waterlogged, heavy as a dead weight.

After losing two lead head hook with tail rigs, Yue Feng caught two more fish of the same species, but none as big as the one in the live fish tank, so he had no choice but to release them.

Since there was a high risk of losing lures and no other fish were biting, Yue Feng lost interest after a while and decided to move on.

The further he walked, the steeper the slope by the water’s edge seemed to be.

Strangely enough, the closer he got to the tourist area’s constructed dock, the fewer fish he seemed to catch.

“Fengfeng, let’s head back!

It’s getting cold by the lake!

My jacket feels soaked through!” At that moment, the child wrapped his clothes tightly around him.

With that reminder from the child, Yue Feng wiped his own jacket.

He wore a shell jacket, waterproof and windproof, but the child’s clothing was much simpler, a standard fleece-lined outdoor sports jacket, which surely felt uncomfortable due to the high humidity over the lake.

“Alright!

We did catch some fish, let’s head back,” Yue Feng responded and controlled the inflatable boat to turn around.

“Brothers, our trial fishing ends here for now!

We’re getting ready to head back!

It’s not every day we get to visit such a beautiful place!

I’ll give you all an aerial view to appreciate the beautiful scenery around the entire lake area!”

After making an announcement, Yue Feng started to raise the altitude of the drone, elevating it from a mere two or three meters to over thirty meters high.

From this angle, looking down, the shimmering water surface and the yellowing trees and plants all around were captured in a single view, with the snowline on the distant mountains visible—an uncommon sight inland.

“Damn, this is so beautiful!”

“So beautiful!

Any screenshot could be a screensaver!”

“It’s got a sense of desolate autumn winds!

I heard it snows early over there.

If there were a snowfall now, it would be perfect!”

Yue Feng: “Do you all remember the scenic video I took at a local reservoir back in spring?

I’ve decided!

Tomorrow morning at dawn, I’ll rise early and film an autumn scene at Kanas Lake!

Wait for my good news!”

“That sounds great, I’m in!”

“Looking forward to it!

I followed Brother Feng because of that video!”

“By the way, Brother Feng, did you really come here with a mission?

We haven’t seen a trace of the lake monster.

What’s the plan?”

“Caught two local-born fish, and that’s a wrap.

Who needs a bicycle!

If the lake monster were that easy to find, it would have been caught on camera by now given how advanced photography and video technology have become!”

“Still, I somewhat hope Brother Feng has a different kind of haul!

After all, it’s quite the journey!”

It was clear that the lure of the lake monster was something the viewers in the live stream were still very much looking forward to.

Yue Feng grinned and said, “Don’t be in a hurry.

Normally, early morning and evening are the feeding windows for predatory fish, which make discoveries more likely.

Now, in the middle of the day, we are just getting a preliminary lay of the land.

Don’t overthink it!”

But before he could finish the phrase, “don’t overthink it,” the corner of Yue Feng’s eye caught a sudden splash on the water’s surface in the distance, as if something resembling a fish tail had flashed by.

Yue Feng hurriedly adjusted the drone camera.

But it was too far away, and by the time the camera panned over, it was already too late.

All that was left to see were large, noticeable ripples on the water.

“?????”

“What on earth?”

“Brother Feng?

What did you see?

Say something, will you!”

“Could it be that you saw a water monster?

Don’t freak everyone out!”

Yue Feng said a bit nervously, “Just now, right at the angle we are looking at, something black suddenly flipped out of the water, and then it stirred up a huge area of waves!

By the time I moved the camera over, I couldn’t see it anymore!

But you could still make out the waves, completely different from the rest of the lake!”

“These ripples do look different, could it be fish turning the water?

That’s pretty common in reservoirs!”

“Goddamn fish turning the water, just look how large of an area is affected by the ripples!

That fish would have to be huge!”

“Damn it, Feng, be careful, there might really be a lake monster!

Is this the definitive proof?”

Yue Feng didn’t speak, he continued to ascend the drone, flying to a higher position to look down.

At a height of nearly eighty meters, people and inflatable boats appeared no bigger than matchboxes from the drone’s perspective.

“Hmm, something’s off!

There seems to be a black spot near the water surface!”

“I see it too, Feng, can you zoom in the camera to see what it is?”

“So excited, are we about to solve the case, definitive proof of the water monster?”

Yue Feng hastily zoomed in the camera, and sure enough, he saw a dark silhouette slowly sinking down under the water not far from where the waves had been stirred, eventually disappearing without a trace.

Some might ask here, aren’t drones high-tech and super HD?

Can’t they see clearly?

Indeed, they can’t see clearly!

But this has nothing to do with the camera’s resolution or precision!

The main reason is that the object wasn’t on the surface of the water, but rather below it.

From junior high physics, we learned about the reflection and refraction of light, and so an object’s silhouette beneath the water’s surface is naturally affected, and with a breeze on the lake creating glittering ripples, it made the silhouette even more blurred.

By the time the dark silhouette in the camera had completely vanished, the crowd on the public channel was still engaged in wild discussion.

Unbeknownst to them, the number of people in the live stream had surpassed one hundred and fifty thousand, and many newcomers were asking about the water monster.

Yue Feng took a deep breath to calm down and said, “Everyone, don’t rush.

There was indeed a black object that appeared on camera, but we could only make out its general silhouette!

I’m going back to the camp now to copy the video, to see if we can find a clearer key frame!

We’ve come this far, let’s investigate!

Maybe we can solve the case!

Friends who are following the Kanas Lake monster, get ready to follow; I’ll be live streaming intermittently for the next few days unless something special comes up!”

Yue Feng was only habitually asking for follows, but then he saw the follow notifications on the public channel start to flood the screen.

Yue Feng had been streaming for over half a year now, and except for the initial period when he had few followers and experienced several surges, it was rare for his streams to see a flood of follows these days.

In that instant, Yue Feng realized a truth he hadn’t paid much attention to before: The core highlight is the soul of a live stream!

Compared to his usual streams filled with awkward chitchat, the difference when streaming with a highlight was huge,

And content such as a curious lake monster like this had a very broad audience and made the follower count skyrocket!

In a matter of minutes, over ten thousand new active followers had hit the follow button!

This delighted Yue Feng to no end.
