It's not that the leaf isn't strong enough, but that it lacks buoyancy.

Great white sharks don't have a float, so they don't rise to the surface after they die. Of course, this isn't always the case; they do occasionally rise to the surface, but there are many reasons for this.

So Yezi could only watch helplessly as the great white shark slowly sank.

Resurfaced, Ye Zi pondered how to bring the great white shark's carcass back; she was really eyeing that huge shark skin.

Besides, we've already killed them all, and the machetes have even broken. If we gain nothing, it would be a huge loss.

"System, how far am I from the seabed?"

"Eighty-two meters."

Ye Zi nodded. At this depth, they could easily drag the great white shark's carcass back to the island from the seabed, so the carcass wouldn't go to waste.

This is the solution Ye Zi came up with.

As they descended again, the great white shark's carcass continued to sink, albeit slowly, and they began to move, dragging the carcass along with them.

The leaf only rises to the surface to breathe when its lungs are completely depleted.

Meanwhile, a large number of viewers flooded into the live stream, eager to witness whether Ye Zi, the man known as the "King of Wilderness Solo Challenge," could truly defeat a great white shark single-handedly.

From the moment the small boat was hit and Ye Zi got up and drew her sword, the viewers and drone operators who had been watching the live stream knew what was going to happen next. Posts about Ye Zi's one-on-one fight against the great white shark immediately appeared on various platforms and websites.

Viewers who were not in the live stream immediately flooded in.

As blood appeared in the seawater, the audience's hearts were gripped with suspense, and the rescue team had already taken off.

In just two minutes, blood kept gushing from the sea surface. In the footage, a man and a shark could be vaguely seen fighting underwater, but there was no result.

Until the leaves emerged from the sea.

There was no tense anticipation, no panic, only curious observation; at this point, most of the audience had already guessed the outcome.

"Ye Shen won?"

"They must have won, otherwise they wouldn't be reacting like this."

"How far were they dragged?"

"I don't know, didn't you see Ye Shen also looking around?"

"Don't get dragged away and disappear, or you'll lose your chance to compete."

"It's not a big problem. With Ye Shen's abilities, he should be able to go back."

"Am I the only one who noticed that the great white shark's body hasn't appeared? Are you sure the great white shark is dead? Could it be that he's looking for the great white shark?"

"The person upstairs is an idiot. Great white sharks don't have floats, so they rarely surface after they die. They either float in the water or sink to the bottom."

"If I remember correctly, this is the record for the largest single kill of a marine creature by a human."

"I don't know if it's the biggest record, but it's definitely the biggest I've ever seen."

"I don't recall ever hearing of anyone being able to kill a great white shark of this size by themselves, especially with only a machete."

"Who cares? In short, Ye Shen is awesome."

"Ye Shen is awesome +1"

Soon, the screen was filled with comments praising Ye Shen's awesomeness. Amid the puzzled questions from the audience, it was revealed that every time Ye Shen adjusted his breathing and submerged into the water, the position where he would resurface would change.

Attentive netizens immediately guessed what Ye Zi was doing.

"Is Ye Shen dragging a corpse underwater?"

"Only this explanation makes sense; otherwise, there would be no need to practice underwater swimming at this time."

"Is it possible that the great white shark didn't die, and he was diving to avoid being attacked by the great white shark?"

"Is the person upstairs a hater? Judging from Ye Shen's expression, he doesn't look like he's on guard against a great white shark attack at all."

"Ye Shen's machete is broken and has been sheathed. The Great White Shark should be dead. The most reasonable explanation is that he is dragging the body forward underwater."

Some netizens immediately posted their screenshots to corroborate their deductions.

The picture shows Ye Zi surfacing for air for the first time, with the broken knife clearly visible in her hand. It also shows her surfacing for air a second time, revealing the hilt of the knife at her waist as she dives back down.

If the great white shark is not dead, Ye Zi needs to be careful, because the broken knife will not be inserted into the sheath at all, because drawing the knife underwater would also delay the attack.

Pictures don't lie.

By this point, everyone knew that Ye Zi's feat of single-handedly defeating the Great White Shark was a foregone conclusion; the only question was the Great White Shark's exact size.

The platform staff were perfect at playing the straight man; when the topic turned to the size of the great white shark, someone immediately posted a screenshot and, based on Yezi's height, roughly estimated the size of the great white shark, making a reasonable and well-founded assessment.

Just as the live stream chat was flooded with comments, Ye Zi popped her head out from beside the small boat.

After resting on the boat for a while, Yezi started rowing, but this time rowing was obviously very difficult. It wasn't that Yezi was out of strength, but that the anchor chain was pulled straight.

Although the leaf is rowing, the boat is moving very slowly.

With this footage, netizens who were just speculating that Ye Zi was diving to avoid a great white shark attack were instantly proven wrong, as something was clearly tied to the anchor chain.

At this moment, apart from the carcass of the great white shark, the audience really can't think of anything else.

The shark carcass had already sunk to the bottom. Ye Zi originally wanted to use an easier method to drag the carcass ashore, but after starting to row, she realized that this method was not as good as simply dragging the carcass along the seabed.

Based on the rowing frequency, this was about the same as when they escaped with Reba yesterday, but the speed was outrageously slow, not even as fast as their usual leisurely return trip.

After paddling for a while, Ye Zi gave up and decided to use the old method: dragging herself along the seabed.

After sunbathing on the boat for a while, Ye Zi went diving to untie the anchor chain and then boarded the boat. He planned to send the small boat back first, and then come back to drag the body away.

After the small boat landed, Reba came over and asked in confusion:

"Ye Zi, are you feeling unwell?"

Ye Zi paused for a moment, then shook her head and asked:

Why do you ask that?

I noticed you were walking and stopping frequently, so I thought you might be feeling unwell.

Ye Zi smiled and said:

"With my physical condition, how could I possibly have that kind of problem?"

"Is it because the fish are hard to shoot today? Or did yesterday's shark attack affect the fish living nearby?"

Ye Zi thought for a moment and said:

"The fish were indeed difficult to kill today; it took a bit of effort."

Reba nodded, looking troubled:

"Looks like we'll have to find a different place to eat from now on. It's all that great white shark's fault, and it's also my fault. Every time we go out to sea, we attract sharks."

Ye Zi smiled and said:

"It was time to move on to a different place anyway. You can't keep exploiting one place to the point of exhaustion."

You actually believed me when I said you attract sharks?

We process fish in the same place every day, and there's a constant smell of blood. It would be strange if it didn't attract large carnivorous fish.

They'll come even if you don't go.

"That's what I say, but I always feel like I attract sharks more."

Ye Zi joked:

"Then, when we encounter a food crisis in the future, I will take you out to sea and attract a shark to be our food."
