“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.
