To avoid making another wasted trip, Ye Feng walked for almost another hour this time.
He actually stopped twice along the way, and both times he attracted piranhas.
However, his expression grew increasingly confident.
Because the number of piranhas that came each time was less than the number that came the last time.
Therefore, he was quite certain that he had chosen the right path, and that there must be something big waiting for him upstream.
Another half hour passed, and Ye Feng was now sitting on a riverbank, hands on his knees, back bent, panting heavily...
The riverbank where he was standing was about 60 centimeters above the water, and the terrain was relatively flat, covered with dense moss and grass...
Surprisingly, there were virtually no large trees obstructing the view within 30 meters to either side. The view was exceptionally unobstructed…
And this river was more than twice as wide as the one we had encountered before…
Every now and then you can see splashes of water on the surface, which are obviously the sounds made by fish breathing.
Ye Feng had a strong premonition that this was the place he was looking for…
Before he could even catch his breath, he cut off a piece of intestine as usual, threw it into the water, and slapped the surface...
In about a minute, he saw a dark shadow suddenly appear underwater, swimming rapidly towards the intestines…
The shadow was at least 1.5 meters tall, barely meeting his standard.
"Whoosh!"
A splash of water rang out, and the piece of intestine vanished instantly…
"hehe…"
Ye Feng grinned; finally, he had found the right place…
He saw it very clearly just now; the intestines weren't bitten by the fish and then sank.
Instead, it was sucked underwater...
The large fish also had two tentacles on either side of its mouth...
In the Amazon, what other creature besides the giant catfish has this eating style and characteristics?
"Don't worry, you'll have something to eat soon..."
After saying that, Ye Feng immediately took out fishing line and hook from the inner pocket of his backpack.
Last time I fished for that giant catfish that weighed over 200 pounds, it took almost an hour, and I still couldn't break the fishing line.
This shows just how strong the fishing line is.
Now that the quality is up to standard, things become much easier.
Having learned from his previous fishing experience, he now had a clear understanding of the strength of these big fish.
This time, he didn't want to be dragged into the water by the fish again...
So he decided to use a fishing rod that no other angler had ever used before.
After quickly untangling the fishing line, Ye Feng slowly walked to the large tree located to his left rear...
This is a thick metasequoia tree, thicker than his thigh.
This tree loves sunlight and can also grow in water; it can often be seen along rivers and lakes in the wild.
Ye Feng estimated the distance; he couldn't cast the fishing hook too far…
Otherwise, when a big fish comes along, his compound bow won't be able to reliably shoot it in advance.
After thinking for a moment, he began tying fishing line to the tree…
That's right, this is his fishing rod. Even if the fish he catches is very strong, it can't possibly pull the tree down with it, can it?
Soon after, the fishing line was tied, and Ye Feng took out a piece of liver the size of a fist and threaded it through the hook.
After spinning the fishing line a few times with his right hand, he threw it forcefully into the air at a 50-degree angle, creating a perfect parabola.
"Thump!"
The bait landed about 15 meters from the shore, splashing water and causing the float to sink to the surface...
Ye Feng quickly went to the river to wash his hands. To be honest, he had rarely been so particular since he came to the Amazon.
But the corpse smelled so bad that he was afraid of getting the smell on him.
Thinking about this, he realized that the matter was not yet finished.
He immediately dragged the body to another large tree about 20 meters to the right...
Ye Feng is planning to pursue both sides today; he wants all the big fish.
Although we haven't seen any crocodiles yet, these creatures can smell blood from three kilometers away.
Who knows, today might actually be a bumper harvest...
He still tied one end of the vine to the tree, while placing the other end of the body about two meters underwater from the shore.
Only in this way can he ensure that his shot hits the crocodile's head and make it easier to retrieve it.
After everything is done, all that's left is to wait...
Ye Feng squatted between two large trees, munching on dried meat...
Its head kept darting left and right, looking just like a thief keeping watch for his accomplice...
Before I could even finish chewing the first bite of jerky, the float on the left side of the fishing line had already sunk...
Ripples began to spread across that area, clearly indicating that fish were thrashing about underwater.
"Ha ha!"
He really didn't expect it to happen so quickly; it truly lives up to Amazon's reputation...
With such fishing conditions, if this place were in China, it would probably have been taken over by anglers long ago.
Ye Feng chewed on the jerky and excitedly pulled the fishing line...
But that one moment made his smile vanish...
Because if it were a really big fish, there would be no way I could pull it up.
Sure enough, he hadn't even used his full strength before the fish was pulled up...
This is a baby catfish, ridiculously small...
It's only about 40 centimeters long at most, and weighs around ten kilograms...
Its marble-sized eyes stared intently at Ye Feng, its mouth opening and closing as if begging for mercy.
Ye Feng was furious. As a juvenile giant catfish, its size was practically that of a fish fry...
It wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between his teeth...
Fortunately, the bait had just been eaten, so it wasn't wasted.
Ye Feng removed the fishing hook and actually pulled out the piece of liver he had already eaten...
Then he cast his line again…
Before he could even finish eating the jerky in his hand, the float sank again.
He quickly pulled the fishing line, but this time the result was still disappointing.
This is also a catfish fry that's a tiny bit bigger than the previous one.
Ye Feng's face darkened. These things wouldn't provide much liver at all. And there was hardly any meat...
He walked for several hours along mountain paths just to go fishing.
If this is all we get, then we've really lost out today...
He cast his bait again, and as usual, the float disappeared in less than three minutes…
With a nervous heart, Ye Feng pulled the fishing line...
His brow furrowed even more deeply, because this time the fish was even lighter than the previous two…
"Damn it! Is this never going to end?!"
He cursed angrily and pulled the fish up in a few swift movements.
This is actually a piranha...
The liver had been gnawed to pieces, with less than a fifth remaining...
"Hold!"
Ye Feng finally couldn't take it anymore, even though his companions were temporarily out of danger.
However, they did not receive blood transfusions, and without sufficient nutritional support, they would inevitably develop anemia, leading to shock and even death…
