"Oh well."
After saying this helplessly, Secretary Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "Ah Ye, I'll trust you this once. I'll take them down."
He took off his shirt and pants, picked up the rope that Feng Ye had placed on the deck, said a few words to the three people he had called onto the boat, and then jumped into the sea first, swimming towards the whale sharks that were relatively quiet at the moment.
The three men followed closely behind, jumping off the boat wearing only a pair of shorts.
The four of them swam cautiously and nervously to the whale shark, fearing that it might lash out with its tail.
Whale sharks are so big that only their tails are relatively small and easy to tie.
Moreover, with its wide tail fin, it won't slip off.
So the four of them tied the rope to the whale shark's tail and painstakingly tied it securely.
During this time, the whale shark remained very quiet, its tail did not move at all, and only its pectoral fins slapped the water.
"This whale shark is actually quite docile..."
"It is indeed docile right now, but it can be quite frightening when it gets fierce."
"Didn't Aye say it was quite smart? Maybe it knows it's helping it..."
"Could they be that smart?"
"Who knows?..."
"Will there be any problem if we tie it like this?"
"What if we pull too hard and break its tail?"
"It can't be, right? Its tail is so powerful, it must be very sturdy."
"Give it a try. Anyway, only the tail can be tied. The rest of the body is too big to tie."
"..."
Seeing this situation at sea, people on the dock and those watching on the boat started discussing it.
Secretary Xiao and the other three swam back to the side of the Rising Sun, holding onto the other end of the cable.
Several onlookers on the boat reached out and pulled the four people aboard.
Feng Ye took the cable, tied it to the net-lifting machine, and then shouted to the wheelhouse, "Ah Can, start the boat."
His idea was to start the network generator to help if he couldn't pull it up.
Ah-chan immediately started the diesel engine and headed towards the sea.
Perhaps because the whale shark was too large and heavy, once the cable was taut, the Rising Sun came to a complete stop and could not move.
"It's over, we can't pull it."
"This whale shark is too heavy, probably weighing over ten tons, and the diesel engine doesn't have enough horsepower."
"Looks like it was all for nothing. We'll have to wait for those three jellyfish-collecting boats to come and try again."
"They might not even be willing to help..."
"Hmph, they don't want to? Then they can forget about harvesting jellyfish from our village..."
Hearing the discussions around him and seeing the taut cables, Feng Ye frowned and immediately prepared to start the net-raising machine.
If he still can't pull it, then he's out of options and can only wait for the big ship that collects jellyfish.
