"Something's wrong. The hook is coming out, and we can't catch it anymore," Cui Shuran said with a serious expression.
"Oh no, really? We've been fishing for so long, and now we can't catch anything? That's such a shame." Xiaorou pouted, looking regretful.
Zhao Zhiming also shook his head, "Acheng, give up, you can't go on."
Although Lao Wang and Jiang Weiyang weren't experts, they could still understand such a simple situation, and could only sigh deeply.
"There's plenty of time. If we miss it this time, we'll have another chance next time."
Ye Cheng held the fishing rod in his hand, staring blankly at the situation underwater. He knew it was hopeless.
But seeing a fish weighing over 100 pounds about to get off the hook, Ye Cheng really didn't want to give up.
He glanced at Xiao Hu, his gaze gradually hardening.
Xiao Hu was startled. "No way, bro, please don't! That's too dangerous!"
"Take it, I know what I'm doing," Ye Cheng said seriously.
Seeing Ye Cheng's expression, Xiao Hu reluctantly took the fishing rod, but still tried to persuade him.
"Brother, really, there's no need."
The others had no idea what the two were up to. Cui Shuran looked at Ye Cheng with curiosity, while Xiao Rou asked directly.
"Ye Cheng, what are you doing?"
Ye Cheng turned his head, looked at the others seriously, and slowly uttered two words:
"Go to sea!"
These two words stunned everyone. Zhao Zhiming turned to look at the sea, and stammered in disbelief,
"You're not planning to go fishing in the sea, are you? Are you crazy?"
"You...you're going too far! It's a sea fish! You're going to go into the sea to catch it? Isn't that suicide?" Xiaorou was so anxious she was jumping up and down.
Cui Shuran shook her head. "It's no use. It can easily break free with a struggle and then it will be out in the ocean, and no one will be able to catch it."
Old Wang was utterly shocked. After a long pause, he said, "No, what's the point of you going down there? Are you going to grab it with your hands? Isn't that just ridiculous?"
"Yeah, this could kill someone!" Jiang Weiyang was also terrified.
"And another thing, this is a sailfish. If it turns around and stabs you, you're done for. Are you trying to frame us for murder?" Cui Shuran shouted sternly.
If Ye Cheng dies on the boat, everyone on board, even if they aren't the murderers, will inevitably be investigated.
Ye Cheng turned his back, pulled out the harpoon he had prepared earlier from under the water tank, then took off his clothes and said to Xiao Hu,
"I'm going down."
After saying that, amidst the gasps of the crowd, Ye Cheng, harpoon in hand, leaped into the sea with a splash.
"ah--"
Xiao Rou was so frightened that her face turned pale. She covered her mouth and screamed, staring at Ye Cheng's figure with a look of terror on her face.
"Damn! Are you crazy? He really went down!" Zhao Zhiming slammed his hand on the edge of the boat, unable to believe that Ye Cheng had actually gone down.
Cui Shuran, a woman of great wealth and status, never imagined that someone would jump into the deep sea for a fish. She was utterly shocked.
As soon as Ye Cheng entered the water, he felt incredibly comfortable. The afternoon seawater temperature was just right. However, he forgot to wear his swimming goggles when he came down, and his eyes stung a little.
After adjusting for a moment, he dove down and swam toward the sailfish.
The sailfish was startled when something suddenly came down from the sea. It struggled even harder, pulling on the fishing line and twisting wildly.
Little Tiger, holding the fishing rod, actually kept it in the same direction as the bait, delaying the time it would be unhooked.
"It's about to break free!" Cui Shuran shouted. The seawater was so clear that it could be seen with the naked eye.
"Ye Cheng swam across." Xiao Rou's voice trembled, her small hands gripping the edge of the boat tightly, as if she could help Ye Cheng pull.
At this time, the middle-aged and elderly group didn't say a word, just stared at the sea, but in reality, they were extremely nervous.
Ye Cheng swam over, his innate sense of danger letting the sailfish know that this thing had ill intentions towards him.
So it simply stopped struggling and instead used its long snout to thrust itself towards Ye Cheng.
The sailfish swims extremely fast, and if it charges straight at you like that, Ye Cheng can't dodge it by speed alone.
He could only twist his body sharply in the water to get past.
He dodged the sword-like snout, but not the body; the sailfish's tail struck him hard.
"Watch out!" Xiao Rou dared not shout loudly anymore, afraid that her shouts would frighten the sailfish and cause it to launch an even more ferocious attack.
Ye Cheng was slammed and sank into the deep sea. The sailfish also made a desperate turn and plunged directly into Ye Cheng from top to bottom.
At this rate, if he gets pricked, Ye Cheng might end up as a kebab.
Cui Shuran's pupils contracted sharply, and she abruptly turned her head to shout at Xiao Hu.
"Pull the rod!"
Little Tiger's arm muscles bulged, and with a loud shout, he pulled upwards with all his might.
The fishing line taut, the sailfish's body was jerked by the hook, paused for a moment, and then continued to plunge headfirst into the water.
The fishhook, with a piece of flesh and blood attached, was flung out of the sea.
They've decoupled!
"It's over, it's all over now. He's broken free, Ye Cheng can't escape now." Zhao Zhiming muttered to himself, his eyes vacant.
Given the current situation, we can no longer hope to catch fish. We're just grateful that the sailfish aren't attacking us.
"Hey! Hey! Let's go!" Now that she didn't need to worry about scaring the fish, Xiao Rou jumped up on the boat and stomped her feet, trying to scare the sailfish away.
However, Ye Cheng was only a few meters underwater, so his shouts were of little use, and the sailfish still plunged down without hesitation.
Cui Shuran silently closed her eyes and sighed.
Submerged in the water, Ye Cheng steadied himself, a dull ache in his chest; the blow had been quite severe.
The sailfish came down, moving very fast. His mind raced, calculating that he couldn't dodge it.
So what!
If you can't avoid it, then fight it!
I'll fucking kill you!
Ye Cheng gritted his teeth, his eyes widened, and he firmly gripped the harpoon with both hands. Instead of advancing, he retreated, pushed off with both hands, and charged straight up at the sailfish from below.
"grass!"
Holy crap!
"Damn it!"
The people on the boat were beyond words; they simply swore.
"Idiot!" Cui Shuran silently uttered one of the few curse words he knew.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, the sailfish collided with Ye Cheng like a sword, then disappeared from everyone's sight, carrying Ye Cheng with it.
...
The group exchanged bewildered glances.
Their sudden disappearance left everyone bewildered.
"He...he was taken to the bottom of the sea?" Xiaorou stared at everyone with wide eyes.
Cui Shuran nodded silently. "The chances of survival are slim."
"Has he been down there for several minutes? And he still hasn't taken an oxygen tank?" Old Wang's face was ashen. Something was definitely wrong. As the boat owner, he was bound to get involved in some trouble.
