Seeing this, Robert quickly grabbed two handfuls of sardines and placed them in front of it. The turtle immediately bit several of them, its ferocity making Fu Wan shake her head.
I'm afraid it hasn't had a hearty meal in a long time.
"Robert, cut those fish into smaller pieces and feed them to it!"
"Okay, Wan, this sea turtle is so pitiful!"
Fu Wan sighed. "Who can argue with that? It's truly pitiful. With so many barnacles, they probably won't be able to eat or sleep well for a long time."
Just then, the calls of orcas came from not far away. Fu Wan looked out to sea and saw a large number of seabirds gathered there. At the same time, the waves were rolling and golden fish were leaping out of the water from time to time.
Fu Wan's eyes lit up, and she immediately shouted to everyone, "Quick, get the hand nets! The orcas are bringing us fish!"
"What? An orca is delivering fish?"
Fu Daniu, who had just woken up, thought he was hallucinating. He was sleeping when he suddenly woke up and realized that the boat had stopped. He thought that there were nets on the deck, so he woke up Fu Jinshui and asked him to put on some clothes so that they could sort out the fish.
As soon as they arrived, they heard Fu Wan shout that sentence.
Good heavens, orcas can even bring fish?
How come they've never heard of this!
Fu Jinshui and Fu Daniu looked at each other, but when they saw the seabirds circling on the sea surface not far away and the fish leaping out of the water from time to time, the two big men had to believe what Fu Wan had said.
Thanks to the goddess Mazu, the orcas did indeed bring them fish!
Everyone looked towards the sea, where, apart from panicked fish and birds trying to scavenge for scraps, only a pod of killer whales remained.
Meanwhile, the orca pod formed a circle and slowly approached them!
Realizing this, Fu Jinshui couldn't help but pinch his arm hard, and immediately winced in pain.
"Good heavens, this isn't a dream! It's like an orca delivering a fish!"
Fu Haishun and Fu Mancang happened to see this scene when they came over with the hand-thrown nets, and were speechless.
"What are you two doing there? Stop standing around and come get the net!"
After saying that, the two of them showed the same look of disgust. By the time Fu Daniu and Fu Jinshui, those two simpletons, came to their senses, the fish had already escaped!
The moment Dong Haiyang heard Fu Wan say that the orca had delivered the fish, he immediately rushed to the wheelhouse.
The orca pod and the school of fish were at least 150 meters away from the Ridewinder. If they stayed still, the fish would escape and they would be kicking themselves!
So at this point, we must get the boat across quickly, and not only do we have to get across, we have to get across with great skill.
The boat needs to be close to the school of fish so that people on deck can cast nets, but it cannot get too close. While getting close, care must be taken not to harm the orca pod.
After all, the orca pod is currently helping them herd fish. If they were to injure the orcas, given how protective the orcas are, they could collectively capsize the boat in the next second!
Even if the orca doesn't capsize the boat, Fu Wan isn't so easy to talk to.
However, Fu Wan was not worried about the boat's handling. With two experienced helmsmen, Fu Laoda and Dong Haiyang, there was absolutely no problem with the boat safely approaching the school of fish!
Sure enough, after about five minutes, the boat got closer and closer to the school of fish.
Robert and Tom initially disagreed with the boat approaching the orca pod, believing that the orcas were not delivering fish but were hunting at that time!
Collective hunting is actually very common for marine animals. For example, sperm whales will gather in groups, surround schools of fish, and then open their mouths to hunt them.
Approaching a pod of whales at this time would be extremely impolite.
Fu Wan disagreed. She had dealt with orca pods so many times that she could tell what a baby orca was going to do as soon as it surfaced.
Furthermore, orca pods generally do not hunt in circles. They prefer to lock onto a target and chase their prey. After playing around and getting tired during the chase, they will rush over at top speed to knock the prey half to death before leisurely going over to eat.
The killer whale pods are different now than they used to hunt. Although they occasionally leap out of the water, they generally form an irregular circle with a school of fish in the center that is clearly visible and has nowhere to escape.
In other words, this is not hunting, but escorting.
The fish are like darts, and the orcas are like the escorts.
Fu Wan was amused by her own understanding. Fu Ming and Ye Lin didn't notice the change in Fu Wan's expression at all. The two of them were excitedly staring at the school of fish that was getting closer and closer to the sea.
The closer you get, the clearer you can see the fish.
"Good heavens, may the Goddess Mazu protect us! Am I seeing things? Why do those fish look so golden and like big yellow croakers?!"
Fu Ming was completely dumbfounded, muttering to himself incessantly. Ye Lin wasn't much better off; he didn't believe what he was seeing and was almost itching to jump into the water to see if the fish were real or not.
"Hey guys, stop standing there like idiots, hurry up and log off!"
Fu Wan shouted, pulling the group of people who thought they were dreaming back to reality.
After saying that, she whistled a few times, and after the orca pod left, she grabbed one end of the throwing net, quickly turned around, and threw it out with all her might.
"Yes, yes, yes, disconnect from the internet, disconnect from the internet!"
Fu Ming and the others seemed to wake from a dream, and they all picked up their nets and threw them at the schools of fish on the sea.
Although the orca pod swam to one side, it did not leave.
The whales' imposing presence frightened the fish so much that they dared not flee. Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone on the boat cast their nets, and soon everyone felt the weight of the nets.
"Haha, the internet's bursting! I'm definitely bursting!"
Fu Jinshui laughed and shouted, his back teeth visible as he smiled.
Upon hearing this, Fu Haishun quickly spat and said, "What do you mean by 'the network is going to explode'? Hurry up and pull it up! If the network really explodes, you'll be crying later!"
"Yes, yes, no netting bursts, no, I mean there are lots of fish, haha!"
Fu Jinshui hurriedly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "What a joke! If the fishing net bursts before it's even pulled up, he'll really be crying later."
Fu Wan didn't have time to pay attention to the boatmen's laughter and banter. After feeling the pulling force from the rapidly sinking hand-thrown net, she began to pull the rope up onto the deck.
"Ah Wan, let me help you!"
"Me too!"
Fang Min and Fu Qing rushed over. Although there were many hand-thrown nets on the boat, there was only so much space by the side of the boat. With several big men standing there, there was nowhere for them to cast their nets.
However, since men are stronger, Fang Min didn't try to take anything from them. Instead, she and Fu Qing pulled over the empty fish baskets to make it easier for everyone to unload the fish later.
With the addition of Fu Qing and Fang Min, Fu Wan's catch was gradually brought to the surface.
Fang Min was originally from the military, so her strength should not be underestimated, while Fu Qing's strength was comparable to that of a man.
With Fu Wan, who had been training regularly, the three of them worked together and were the first to pull up the net.
