At this moment, Old White and several sled dogs were lying motionless not far away, warming their bellies.
Chen Fan and Gen Shuo watched the seal's breathing vents without moving.
Even in this icy and snowy environment, seals need to breathe through their blowholes.
If a seal doesn't breathe while underwater for an extended period, it will suffocate.
It is precisely because of these breathing holes that seals are so easy to catch.
Genshuo's tools were very, very simple; they were just a set of bone arrows made from moose bones.
There's also a barb on top, which ensures it won't slip off when you catch a seal.
Chen Fan was preparing to use a bow and arrow. He had modified the arrowhead into a barb shape, so that once it hit the seal's body, it could instantly hook into the flesh of its body, and no matter how much force it had, it would be absolutely impossible to break free!
The two of them waited aimlessly like that.
To be honest, waiting in a place like this is a really frustrating experience.
Because you can easily wait for several hours.
Although Chen Fan didn't have ADHD, he inevitably felt very bored while waiting for a long time.
Geun-seok, meanwhile, was bent over, his body motionless like an old monk in meditation, his eyes fixed on the seal's breathing hole.
Whenever a seal passes by to breathe, he will not hesitate to throw out his bone cavity.
We'll definitely be able to hit the seal then.
This might be an extremely difficult task for ordinary people, but for the Inuit people who have lived in the Arctic since childhood, it has become a familiar hunting method.
As long as seals breathe through these breathing holes, their hunting success rate will reach over 70%.
"This guy is really professional. He hasn't moved for so long. Doesn't he know if his back is tired or his eyes are sore?"
Chen Fan glanced at Gen Shuo in this direction and couldn't help but admire the guy's perseverance.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, they have to hunt to survive, and the hunting process is very long.
Just then.
Chen Fan suddenly noticed that the fur on the vent in front of him trembled slightly.
These furs are from polar bears and are typically used to sense the breathing of seals.
If a seal passes through a hole for ventilation, the fur of the polar bear above it will twitch slightly. The Inuit people of the Arctic also use this method to identify whether a seal has passed by.
The moment he saw the fur undulate, Chen Fan also sensed an energy approaching him.
Without hesitation, he hooked the arrow, nocked it, and fired it directly into the air near the seal's breathing hole.
Pfft...
Immediately following was a crisp sound of a rock piercing flesh.
Thump thump...
The next second, violent splashes of water erupted beneath the thick layer of ice.
"It's a success!!" A joyful expression immediately appeared on Chen Fan's face.
Although he had experience hunting seals before, Chen Fan was even more excited today when he caught this seal, perhaps because of the competition with Gen Seok.
Then Chen Fan immediately began to pull hard.
Seals have a terrifying pulling force when they're in the water.
However, in the face of Chen Fan's absolute power, all those fancy tricks were obviously useless.
Chen Fan quickly dragged most of the seal's body out of the hole.
“Not bad, Mr. Chen Fan. I didn’t expect you to catch the cheetah so quickly.”
It seems you really did win this match.
At this moment, Geun-seok also turned his gaze toward Chen Fan, a happy smile appearing on his face.
They didn't feel envious or jealous just because Chen Fan won the competition; instead, they were genuinely happy for him.
"Haha! I just happened to be lucky."
"But this seal is really big; it must weigh at least 100 pounds," Chen Fan said with a smile.
The moment he finished speaking.
Thump...
The rope made of animal hide fibers in his hand suddenly snapped the next second.
The seal's massive body has returned to the ocean.
"Damn... this broken rope is definitely unreliable." Chen Fan's expression changed immediately.
I already felt these ropes were unreliable; they would definitely break if they encountered a larger prey.
Surprisingly, the cheetah, which weighs only 100 pounds, managed to break the rope.
After cursing under his breath, he quickly took off his down jacket and other clothes.
He was left wearing only a pair of shorts, and with a leap, he jumped directly through the breathing hole a few times.
Now that I've already shot the seal, there's absolutely no way I'm going to let him get away so easily.
Otherwise, wouldn't my lifelong reputation be ruined?
Such a water temperature might be unacceptable to others.
Even an Inuit like Geun Seok would never dare to take such a risk.
But Chen Fan didn't care at all, because the seawater at tens of degrees below zero wouldn't have any effect on him.
More importantly, he should be able to breathe underwater for at least an hour.
Therefore, even if he jumped into the frozen seawater, there would be no danger for him.
Upon seeing this, Geun Seok and the viewers in the live stream were instantly stunned.
Their faces showed shock, as if they had eaten shit.
"Mr. Chen Fan, Mr. Chen Fan!!"
Gen Shuo quickly put down the bone spur in his hand and immediately ran towards Chen Fan.
He hadn't seen it very clearly just now, and thought Chen Fan had been dragged into the water by that seal.
But after seeing the clothes on the snow, he realized that Chen Fan had acted too impulsively.
Although a seal is indeed very, very important to people living in the Arctic.
But to risk one's life for it would be incredibly foolish.
When they arrived at the seal breathing cave entrance, Gen Seok could no longer see Chen Fan.
After a brief silence, the viewers in the live stream immediately became restless.
"My God! What happened? Am I seeing things? How come I just saw Chen Fan jump down from that ice hole?"
"Are you seeing things? I saw it too. Is that kid having an epileptic seizure?"
"Chen Fan really knows how to die. He actually jumped into the ice hole himself. Doesn't he know that the chances of surviving such a jump are only nine out of ten?"
"It's over, this kid is really done for..."
"Although I know Chen Fan has always been quite strong, this time he's really too arrogant."
"Oh no, is my favorite player going to fall like this?"
