But he rejected the idea in an instant…

Even the mountains were submerged, and the water level was so deep that it was impossible for the water to run aground.

There are only two possibilities: either it was a deliberate attack by some kind of fish, or it accidentally bumped into it while swimming...

It seems the former is more likely, because a river that wide wouldn't just happen to be hit by such a coincidence...

But... what kind of fish would actively attack such a large raft?

Ye Feng was completely baffled...

The sudden tremor immediately woke everyone from their slumber. They looked around blankly, somewhat bewildered…

"Brother Feng, just now... was it you who made that noise?"

Liu Sisi rubbed her eyes and asked…

Ye Feng cautiously scanned the surrounding water from the bow of the boat, trying to locate the fish...

"No, there's something underwater. It bumped into our raft just now... almost knocking me into the river. I reckon it's a pretty big fish."

"Could it be a crocodile?"

Qi Xiaoyan asked…

Ye Feng immediately shook his head and replied with certainty:

"Impossible. Crocodiles can identify their prey, and they are ambush predators..."

Once we launch an attack, we will only hold our ground tightly; we will never resort to ramming.

Liu Sisi then said:

"Could it be an arapaima or a giant catfish? I read in a book that both of these fish have a habit of ramming each other."

Hearing this, Ye Feng frowned even more deeply…

However, after thinking for a while, he shook his head...

"That's also unlikely, as these two types of fish generally don't attack animals larger than themselves."

Small, struggling animals are their favorite prey, and ramming such a large raft is clearly not in line with their hunting habits.

Get up, everyone! No matter what kind of fish it is, we must kill it!

If the raft falls apart, we'll truly become their food.

Before anyone could even stand up...

"Thump!"

Another sound came from the stern of the raft, this time causing it to shake even more violently than before…

Qi Xiaojie immediately pointed behind him and shouted:

"There's a...shark...shark...shark!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned to the stern of the ship...

Fu Changxiong lightly patted his forehead…

"Don't talk nonsense, I know that sharks are marine creatures, where would sharks come from in freshwater!?"

Qi Xiaojie got a little anxious... and quickly explained:

"It really is there! I...I really saw it...the dorsal fin!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng and Liu Sisi were both startled, and an image of a shark instantly flashed into their minds...

"have!"

Ye Feng immediately picked up the compound bow and quickly went to the stern of the ship…

"What kind of shark is so powerful?"

Fu Changxiong asked…

"It's a bull shark!"

Ye Feng stared intently at the water. If the raft were destroyed and he fell into the water to face these sharks…

Then no one can escape it...

Liu Sisi picked up the conversation and said:

"Bull sharks, also known as bull sharks, have a mechanism that allows them to adapt to freshwater."

It maintains the body's salt balance by regulating the salt content and other substances in the blood.

This allows them to live in both sea and freshwater.

These sharks are extremely aggressive, and the number of people attacked and eaten by them each year is more than twice that of the great white shark and tiger shark combined.

"But that's not all..."

Ye Feng added with a serious expression:

"This beast is a glutton, greedy and bloodthirsty, never picky about food, and incredibly reckless, almost as bad as a wild boar..."

They don't care about size differences; when they're starving, they'll even attack a hippopotamus.

Any living creature is prey to them.

Zoologists have even found plastic bags and steel wool in their stomachs.

Faced with such a gluttonous beast, we either become its food, or... we have no choice but to feed it something delicious...

Having said that, he immediately drew his bow and arrow…

Upon hearing this, everyone's brows furrowed. They had just escaped a natural disaster, and now they had stumbled into a wolf's den...

The key point is that they have nowhere to escape now. How can they possibly be faster than fish in the water?

However, since everyone who had followed Ye Feng had experienced many trials and tribulations, they did not show any signs of panic.

At the same time, they all understood Ye Feng's meaning, and Qi Xiaoyan immediately picked up her bow and arrows and began searching along the edge...

The others immediately scattered, trying to locate the bull shark...

However, with the murky river water providing cover, unless the shark deliberately surfaces, it's difficult to kill it with a single arrow...

After searching for about three minutes, Fu Changxiong suddenly felt a strange movement in the water beneath his feet…

He looked down and saw a grayish-white dorsal fin protruding above the water, rubbing against the crossbeam of the raft as it swam forward…

Because of the close proximity, he could vaguely see the bull shark's head and its sharp, exposed teeth...

"Here I am! Come quick!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Feng and Qi Xiaoyan rushed over upon hearing the commotion…

But the bull shark seemed startled, splashing water and slamming its tail against the edge of the log, causing the raft to rock again.

Before the two could even draw their bows, the bull shark had already vanished...

Ye Feng also witnessed this scene. It turned out that the raft wasn't hit by it, but rather slapped by it.

He was absolutely certain at that moment that this was not only a bull shark, but a female adult bull shark…

This shark is quite different from most sharks; adult males are only 2.1 to 2.5 meters long and weigh around 100 kilograms…

Female sharks, however, can reach lengths of 3.5 to 4.2 meters and weigh around 150 kilograms…

This means that if he continues to attack the raft like this, it will inevitably fall apart sooner or later...

However, at the same time, Ye Feng was also very curious as to why this beast kept wandering around the raft and wouldn't leave.

How did it know there was food on the raft? Could it be that it has eaten people before?

However, Ye Feng dared not think too much at this moment. To survive, the raft could not break down. This guy had to die…

After pondering for a moment, he immediately summoned everyone over…

"Sisi, I remember... when we evacuated the hillside yesterday, there was still some crocodile meat that wasn't completely processed, right?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Sisi immediately understood what Ye Feng wanted to do…

"Are we trying to lure the snake out of its hole?"

Ye Feng smiled and nodded...

"Smart, throw it at least ten meters away. If it's closer, I'm afraid that beast won't take the bait..."

After saying that, Liu Sisi immediately took out a handful of meat strips that hadn't been properly smoked the day before from the shed...

The half-cooked meat strips still had traces of blood on them, and a faint stench of decay emanated from them, indicating that they had clearly spoiled...

She handed the meat strip directly to Qi Xiaojie…

"Little stutterer, there's only a little bit left that's not fully cooked. The meat strips are very light; can you throw them 10 meters away?"
