“Chapter 305: Fishing”


    On our way back, I picked up a tree branch I found lying around.


    Mira and Deko wanted to go to the third stomach again today.


    – What do you plan to do?


    – A fishing rod. I’ve only done this once, but this one is way sturdier than my first time.


    – I can see that, but I meant to ask what you wanted to do today.


    – I’m going with you, of course. I want to test this thing.


    – Alright. Let us know when you’re ready.


    Now I need something to use as bait and something to stick the bait with…


    I can’t use any vegetation. The electricity from the dark jerks will be conducted. And I can’t use magic to somehow prevent it.


    As I was pondering what to do, I noticed the remnants of one of the snakes.


    Several pieces of meat, and extracted fangs.


    – …It’s worth giving it a shot.


    ※※


    There are more digestive juices than before. About 1/3 of the third stomach is filled.


    Of course, the dark jerks are still swimming down there.


    – So, what’s the rod for?


    – It’s a fishing rod. A rod, for fishing.


    But I wasn’t planning on fishing dark jerks.


    The rod had a string processed from the snakes’ skin, along with a fang at its end.


    – I’m going down. Hold on to this.


    I gave Deko and Mira a lifeline and stepped into the protrusions coming off of the walls.


    Just in case, I threw in a piece of meat to the other side of the pit.


    As if sensing another enemy, the dark jerks immediately rushed in.


    Although, in this case, it was cannibalism.


    – …Now.


    I threw the hook on the spot now freed from dark jerks.


    – I got it!


    – No way…


    What was caught on the hook was one of the explosives Deko and Mira found on their expeditions.


    – One is not enough. We gotta get more.


    These are the weapons that will get us out of here.
