First, they had arrived in the morning, and fishing for too long would be exhausting.
Second, it had gotten dark, and the deep mountains were full of snakes, insects, rats, and ants, which was unsafe. Plus, the mountain roads were difficult to traverse, and driving was relatively dangerous.
Therefore, they had to descend the mountain before it got dark.
Keep fishing.
Soon, another hour had passed.
In that time, they had caught a few small Crucian Carp, but by now they felt it didn't really matter whether they caught anything or not.
After all, with the Big Catfish Lin Yang had caught earlier, they had no regrets about this trip, and whatever happened next was fine by them.
Soon, it was five in the afternoon, and the sun was nearing the distant peaks. The originally glaring light had turned into a soft evening hue.
Originally, Lin Yang had planned to pack up by now, as packing up earlier and descending while it was still light would be safer.
