On the Rising Sun, Xiao Guowen and the other two shook their heads helplessly and turned back to their work.
Only Feng Ye remained standing at the bow, watching the sea turtles swimming smoothly with the wind and current forty or fifty meters ahead.
In many people's eyes, regardless of the type of turtle, they are synonymous with slow and leisurely.
However, sea turtles are actually quite fast underwater, with an average speed of 28 kilometers per hour.
Leatherback turtles can even reach speeds of 35 kilometers per hour.
They are ancient travelers of the ocean, natural swimmers, capable of moving nimbly in the water.
However, they are indeed relatively slow on land, moving only about 0.28 meters per second, which translates to about 1 kilometer per hour.
After watching the sea turtles' elegant swimming style for a while, Feng Ye turned around and prepared to get back to work.
We can't just keep watching, can we?
Although as the boss, it's up to him to decide how much or how little work he does, the boatmen are all relatives and friends, and he feels bad about being idle all the time.
Just as he turned around, he saw a boat not far away pulling in its nets, but he didn't pay much attention to it at first.
However, he hadn't been working for long when he heard Ah-Can exclaim, "Oh no, someone's coming to catch the sea turtle!"
He looked up and saw that it was the same boat that had just been hauling in its nets, now speeding towards him from the side.
"Ah Chan, stop them."
He immediately shouted.
"Brother Ye, isn't that unnecessary?"
"No, we can't let them take the turtles away. Otherwise, speed up and rush into the group of turtles to see if you can scare them into sinking into the water."
"Well... okay."
Ah-chan hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed and stepped on the gas.
The diesel engine roared a little louder, and the speed of the Rising Sun increased considerably.
Feng Ye rushed to the bow of the boat and carried the bamboo pole over there.
If the turtles were not startled, he prepared to use a bamboo pole to drive them into the water.
However, his preparations were of no use.
The distance of a few dozen meters didn't take long; the Rising Sun quickly approached the group of sea turtles.
Ah-chan deliberately increased the throttle, making the diesel engine roar even louder.
The sea turtles, who were leisurely basking in the sun, were startled by the sudden commotion and dived into the water.
In the blink of an eye, that large patch of grayish-green disappeared into the waves.
Feng Ye looked at the sea where the sea turtle had disappeared and breathed a sigh of relief.
The people on the boat that intended to catch sea turtles were furious.
Isn't that behavior a clear indication that they're not allowed to fish?
Seeing that there were only five people on the Rising Sun while they had eight, they were naturally unwilling to give up and steered their ship towards them.
"Damn, they're here to cause trouble."
Xiao Guowen threw the small yellow croaker in his hand into the basket, quickly stood up, ran into the cabin to get a hook, and ran over to stand with Feng Ye.
Not to be outdone, Xiao Yunhu and Du Minhui grabbed a handy tool and quickly ran to the bow deck.
Seeing the other party approaching aggressively, Ah-Can was also enraged. Not to be outdone, he turned the steering wheel and accelerated to meet them head-on.
A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger.
Actually, they really have nothing to be afraid of.
Although there were eight people on the opposite boat, they had more people; there were five more on another boat not far away.
In addition, there is an ultimate weapon on board that can guarantee they will only win and never lose.
The people on the opposite boat were startled by Ah-chan's actions.
In situations like this, wouldn't it be best to run away first?
Why does it look even fiercer than me, and it's charging at me?
However, relying on their superior numbers, they did not back down.
They gripped the tools on the ship tightly, staring intently at Feng Ye and his companions.
The distance between the two ships rapidly decreased, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
The boats faced each other, neither willing to give way, and both turned ahead of time.
Twenty meters, fifteen meters, ten meters, nine meters...
Ah-Can stared intently at the ship opposite him, his heart pounding wildly, his hands gripping the rudder tightly, his palms sweaty.
The psychological pressure is just too great.
If the ships were to collide head-on, neither would come out unscathed.
But as the saying goes, even Buddhas fight over a stick of incense, while humans live on a breath of air.
He will not back down; at worst, the Rising Sun will undergo major repairs.
Moreover, Feng Ye and the others standing at the bow of the boat did not ask him to turn around.
His eyes widened, and he roared, "Come on, who's afraid of who!"
Just then, the person navigating the opposite boat finally couldn't take it anymore and suddenly turned the rudder.
But it was too late.
Ships are not that flexible and quick to turn.
The bow of the boat avoided the impact, but the stern was not spared.
With a loud bang, the bow of the Rising Sun crashed into the stern of the other ship.
Fortunately, the Rising Sun had only accelerated a short distance and had not yet reached its full speed, so the impact did not cause any damage.
It only caused the other ship to rock violently a few times.
But this also caused the people on the boat to lose their footing, and they all fell flat on their backs.
Also, the stacks of fish were knocked over and scattered all over the deck.
Everyone on board the Rising Sun was prepared; they only stumbled briefly before regaining their footing.
Feng Ye took a long bamboo pole and poked it at a young man who had just gotten up.
Before the young man could react, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, a tremendous force struck him, and he stumbled back a few steps before landing hard on the deck.
Feng Ye did not use the deadly end; he simply used the flat end instead of the pointed end.
