"Dante, a big one's taken the bait! Let's get ready to reel it in!"

"Okay! Let's reel it in together!"

Hearing my shouts, Dante was even more excited than I was. Dante loved fishing, so how could he not be overjoyed to hear that he had caught a giant?

Dante immediately wrapped the thick rope around his hands twice, then spread his legs and braced them against the ground, getting into position to begin a tug-of-war with the unidentified giant in the water.

However, Dante's weight did not seem to be as big as the guy in the water. Even if Dante pressed his feet firmly against the ground, his toes digging into the ground, it was to no avail.

The rope continued to swing back and forth on the ground, completely unaffected by Dante.

"Sir, this thing is too big. I can't move it by myself. Everyone, please come down and help me pull it up."

Since one end was tied to a tree anyway, there was no fear of the prey escaping. Dante simply put down the rope and looked over, panting, with a pleading gaze.

"No need to rush. Let it struggle for a while and exhaust its strength. Then it will be much easier to pull it over."

When Dante heard what I said, he stopped insisting and simply sat there watching the rope move back and forth on the water.

After a while, the unidentified creature seemed to have exhausted itself struggling in the water. The rope, which had been taut, was now being pulled so hard in the water that it was making a whooshing sound.

Now it's just drooping on the water, looking listless as it circles around in place.

"Let's all work together. That guy's exhausted. We should be able to get him up now."

I gave a shout, and immediately several members of my tribe and Dante began to grab the thick rope and pull it toward the shore.

At this moment, the mysterious animal no longer had the strength to struggle, and even if it did struggle, it wouldn't make much difference.

With everyone pulling together, the creature in the water was gradually pulled towards the shore.

Now everyone could finally see what had been caught. It was indeed a fish, but its size took us by surprise.

I recognize this fish; it's probably a type of giant catfish. I've only ever seen such enormous creatures on television before, like in the Amazon River.

However, even a master angler like Jeremy Ward probably has never seen a giant catfish like this before.

This giant catfish is over three meters long and weighs at least 500 kilograms.

A huge mouth with fine teeth, big enough to easily fit an adult inside.

I used to hear on TV that catfish can attack living people, and I thought it was just an exaggeration to attract attention.

Now that a real giant catfish is standing in front of me, I finally believe that this guy really has the ability to swallow an adult whole.

The giant catfish was quickly pulled ashore, where it tried to struggle symbolically. However, Dante quickly delivered a powerful blow to its head, and the giant catfish immediately quieted down.

Haru was stunned by what he saw; such a large fish had been easily taken down. It seemed that going against these humans had been such a foolish decision.

A fish that weighs only a dozen pounds was caught, but a giant catfish weighing several hundred pounds was caught, making a fortune.

Everyone has already received some fish meat, but with so many people, the amount distributed from this giant catfish weighing several hundred pounds is still a bit small.

The saying goes, "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub." Although the fish weighing over ten pounds in front of you is good, compared to those aquatic monsters that weigh hundreds of pounds, this fish is just a small carambola.

So without blinking, we hooked the biggest fish on the line; you have to be willing to invest in fishing.

This big fish was clearly more energetic than the previous one; as soon as it was put into the water, it swam towards the holy water area.

But the commotion caused by that giant catfish had already alerted even larger predators nearby.

The fish, weighing over ten kilograms, hadn't even reached the deep waters when it encountered trouble in a spot with floating seaweed.

Suddenly, a giant piece of wood crashed open, splashing up a huge spray of water, and a massive mouth full of terrifying sharp teeth snapped shut.

The ten-pound fish is dead!

It's possible that the fishhook was caught in the sudden, immense force of the attack and became lodged in that large mouth. The adult deinosuchus, in pain, tried to spit out the foreign object stuck in its mouth, but the fishhook had been specially barbed.

The barbs were now firmly embedded in the Deinosuchus's lower jaw, making it virtually impossible for it to break free.

The crocodile tried several times, but found that not only could it not break free of the hook, it was now getting more and more snagged.

The excruciating pain drove the Deinosuchus to instinctively roll for its life, but this move was utterly ineffective against a rope.

Even if a deinosuchus were to break its own back, this extremely resilient thick rope would never break.

After nearly half an hour of frantic rolling and writhing near the shore, the giant crocodile finally exhausted itself.

It lay there belly up in the water, completely still. If you didn't see its belly still bobbing up and down, you would have thought this crocodile had died from its own death throbbing.

This time, dragging it ashore was clearly not so easy. When it was almost on land, the Deinosuchus's huge body lay directly on the ground, and it couldn't be dragged no matter what.

At this moment, the crocodile, perhaps in unbearable pain from being pulled, mustered a burst of strength and crawled directly towards us.

With its enormous mouth wide open, it could randomly select a lucky viewer to experience the thrill of escaping from the jaws of a crocodile.

Seeing this, I told everyone to run quickly. Don't be fooled by how slow crocodiles seem on land; if they really go berserk, they can reach speeds of 30 to 40 kilometers per hour.

This speed may not seem fast to ordinary animals, but it is an insurmountable speed for humans.

The maximum running speed that humans can reach is 20 kilometers per hour, which is already a remarkable achievement.

It's worth noting that even the world's fastest runner, Usain Bolt, could only reach a top speed of 36 kilometers per hour.

Although I am a tiny bit faster than Bolt, and most of our tribesmen can reach Bolt's speed, we dare not be arrogant or careless.

It should be noted that the bite force of this behemoth is even more terrifying than that of Luo; a beast of this size could have a bite force of at least two tons.

With just a gentle snap of its upper and lower jaws, our bodies can instantly split into two, or even more, pieces.

To avoid wasting bullets, I aimed the pneumatic sleeve dart, which had been pre-treated with anesthetic, at the crocodile's eyes and fired. There was no armor protection here, so the anesthetic would still work.
