After jumping for a while, the dolphins stopped and began to feed on the great white shark.
Large chunks of flesh were torn off and swallowed by the dolphins.
The bright red blood spread out, only to be diluted and disappear without a trace by the seawater.
The scene was somewhat cruel.
Before long, the two-meter-long great white shark was killed by the dolphins, leaving only its hard bones that sank to the bottom of the sea.
"Sigh, this great white shark is so useless. If we could make it a lose-lose situation, we might be able to catch a few dolphins."
Watching the dolphins finish their meal and leap away, getting further and further away, Ah-Can sighed.
Regarding A-Can's thoughts, Feng Ye could only say that he wasn't as cruel as the Japanese.
Dolphins are so cute, how could anyone think of eating them?
These days, marine resources are quite abundant, and dolphins are actually quite common.
He had seen it quite a few times, and had seen three different varieties.
Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins, grey dolphins, and other species that were not identified this time.
Every time he sees dolphins, a strange joy wells up in his heart, and he feels that they are quite intelligent.
"Hurry up and catch your fish, stop thinking about these other things. If these fish come back to life, we won't be able to catch any more."
"Then move the boat a little to the left, so you can't reach it with the net."
Feng Ye nodded and adjusted the boat's direction to make it easier for the landing net to reach the small fish floating on the surface of the water.
Because the great white shark didn't last long before being hunted down by the dolphin pod, the number of small fish that were stunned appeared to be many, but was actually limited.
He chased after them in his boat for about ten minutes before Ah-Can dredged them all up.
The three baskets were not yet full, and they were all small fish, none of which weighed more than a pound; they were all in the range of a few ounces.
Larger fish are more resistant and are less likely to be stunned by the dolphin's sonic waves, allowing them to escape its attack range in time.
Feng Ye smiled and said, "About three baskets, not bad."
"It looks like a lot, but it's not worth much. Even the slightly more expensive small yellow croakers only amount to about half a basket."
"Alright, it's something you found for free, why care about its value? You're lucky to have come across it."
"Hehe, that's true..."
"You take a look and pick through them, I'll continue trawling."
As Feng Ye spoke, he glanced in the direction the dolphins had gone, and considered chasing after them.
It is said that dolphins often drive schools of fish, and as long as you follow behind the dolphins, you can catch fish.
However, the Asahi's engine was not powerful enough to keep up with the speed of the Dolphin.
Therefore, it is impossible to verify the authenticity of this hearsay information.
Since things were beyond his control, he stopped thinking about it.
He slightly adjusted his course, avoiding the direction the dolphins were traveling.
However, things just happened by chance.
After sailing for nearly half an hour, the Rising Sun saw dolphins again in front of them, and there were quite a few of them.
However, this time they did not gather together; they were more scattered and far apart from each other.
I wonder if this group of dolphins is the same group that hunted the great white shark before.
But I think it should be.
It is unlikely that two groups of dolphins would appear in the same sea area, and so close together.
At that moment, several dolphins were leaping out of the water, drawing a graceful arc in the air before elegantly diving back into the sea.
As if in response to the dolphins, the nearby dolphins made "whimpering" sounds, and dolphins could be seen jumping up and down from time to time.
"Are they just playing around?" Ah-chan said uncertainly.
Feng Ye also thought they were just playing around.
Dolphins are playful animals and often exhibit many interesting group behaviors.
He was about to nod in response when he suddenly felt something was amiss.
These dolphins don't seem to be playing.
He looked closely and discovered that the location of these dolphins was significant.
If you connect the dots with lines, it forms an irregular circle.
He understood.
The dolphins are hunting!
“They’re not playing around. Look closely, those dolphins are forming a circle; they’re driving away a school of fish.”
"ah?"
Ah-Can squinted and observed carefully for a while: "Hey, it really is! Brother Ye, do you want to go up and see if we can get some more bargains?"
"Of course, this is a golden opportunity, and we can't miss it."
A hint of excitement flashed in Feng Ye's eyes.
He quickly adjusted the course of the Rising Sun and headed towards the dolphin pod.
As the boat gradually picked up speed, Feng Ye and A-Can eagerly anticipated what good things awaited them.
The dolphins' encirclement grew smaller and smaller, causing the surrounded fish to panic, with some leaping out of the water every now and then.
At the same time, this encirclement is not stationary, but moving.
Moreover, its speed is not slow.
Because of the drag from the trawler, the speed of the Rising Sun was not much faster.
Although the distance is constantly closing, it's impossible to catch up in a short time.
“Trapping is too much work, Ah-Chan, go and bring it up.”
Feng Ye was a little worried that the dolphin pod would disperse because they had eaten their fill before they could catch up.
"good."
Ah-Can quickly ran to the stern and got to work, deftly hauling in the trawl net, which immediately increased the speed of the Rising Sun.
The dolphin pod seemed unconcerned about the approach of the Rising Sun and continued to carry out their hunting plan in an orderly manner.
As the encirclement tightened, the trapped fish grew increasingly agitated, like ants on a hot plate, constantly rolling and leaping in the water, trying to find a way to escape.
The splashing water added to the tense atmosphere.
"Almost there, we're almost catching up!"
Ah-chan stood at the bow of the boat and shouted excitedly.
His hand-throwing net was already prepared and ready to be used.
I bought this hand-thrown net in the county town when I was selling dried fish.
Moreover, he bought more than one; he bought three at once and kept them on the boat.
They damaged one of the sardine-catching cards last time, which caused them to catch far fewer sardines, so they bought a few extra cards just in case.
They hadn't expected to be able to use it so soon.
Feng Ye did not steer the boat into the encirclement, but stopped it not far away.
He was afraid that driving in would disturb the dolphin pod and cause them to scatter, and he was also afraid that the propeller might accidentally injure the dolphins.
Even if you only cast your net here, you can still catch quite a few. There must be many fish that have escaped from the encirclement in the sea below.
Moreover, he has a secret method to get dolphins to drive the fish over.
"Brother Ye, why did you stop the boat? Aren't you going to sail further in?"
Ah Can looked at Feng Ye with a puzzled expression, his hand-throwing net poised to be used.
"Just cast your net; I have my reasons for stopping the boat."
"...Alright then."
Although Ah-chan was still puzzled, he didn't say much and immediately cast the hand net out.
