As Ye Feng opened his backpack to look for something, he explained:
“You’re right, put a rope around the fish and let it lead us out.”
"ah!?"
Everyone looked at Ye Feng with surprise. They didn't think Ye Feng was joking, but they didn't understand what he meant.
"It's actually very simple. I made a slight improvement to this method. I replaced the rope with this."
After saying that, he took out his fishing rod...
Everyone immediately understood.
Ye Feng wanted to fish and then use the fish's swimming direction to escape.
In that case, whether the field of vision is open or the visibility is high becomes completely unimportant.
As long as you keep letting out the line and not casting, the fish will keep swimming with the line.
On your side, you just need to follow the trend of the fishing line, and you can control the speed yourself, so there is no risk of losing track of it.
Hopeful smiles returned to everyone's faces.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get going..."
"Quick, quick, I really can't stand this smell anymore..."
...
Compared to Zhan Pengwu and Fu Changxiong's excitement, Tang Weiwei was clearly much more rational.
"Ye Feng, I have a question. Are you sure... this fish will lead us into the river?"
What if it panics and leads us deep into the swamp?
By then, we might not even be able to find our way back.
The smiles on everyone's faces froze, and they looked at Ye Feng again.
However, this time, Ye Feng revealed a confident smile, firmly rejecting the possibility.
"That's true. You sell seafood, so you might not know much about freshwater carnivorous fish."
Let me explain to you: once these bloodthirsty fish bite the hook, they realize they've been tricked.
They will then begin to flee frantically, swimming towards places they are familiar with.
As Sisi just mentioned, this is not their main habitat; the river is.
Another important point is that when they realize they cannot escape the hook, they will instinctively swim towards deeper water.
Trying to get rid of the enemy using this method...
This is their nature; regardless of whether they are freshwater fish or not, they all have this habit etched into their genes.
So don't worry, this will definitely succeed.
Hearing Ye Feng's certainty, Tang Weiwei smiled and nodded repeatedly, giving him a thumbs up.
"This method of finding the way is indeed the first time I've heard of it. You're really something. Get started now."
Ye Feng beckoned to Fu Changxiong and took out the tail meat that had been cut from the crocodile earlier.
There was still a lot of blood on it, making it perfect as bait.
He cut off a piece, got some blood on it, and cast it directly into the water.
Meanwhile, the others weren't idle either. Ye Feng fished while directing everyone to wet their masks.
This can delay the inhalation of toxic gases as much as possible.
He should have thought of it earlier, but he was too anxious and kept thinking about how to get out quickly.
My thoughts got stuck in a dead end, and I forgot about it.
Only after I calmed down did I recall this incident.
It has been proven that emotions can indeed affect a person's intelligence and decision-making.
Everyone was wearing masks tightly, staring intently at the fishing rods.
This is their only hope for survival; now, time is life itself…
Fortunately, the fishing conditions in the Amazon are very good, especially during the fishing season.
After waiting for about three minutes, Ye Feng suddenly felt a pulling sensation on the fishing rod in his hand.
It's obvious they caught fish...
Overjoyed, he immediately began to pull it back.
Only when a fish senses danger will it swim vigorously towards the river.
Sure enough, after a few tugs, the fish began to struggle violently.
The water continued to splash, creating ripples...
Ye Feng didn't know what kind of fish it was, but it was incredibly strong and almost caused him to lose his fishing rod.
"Someone needs to help!"
Upon hearing this, everyone snapped out of their tense mood.
Fu Changxiong quickly stepped forward to help pull the fishing rod, and after a stalemate of several tens of seconds...
Feeling the time was right, Ye Feng suddenly began to lay out his line.
The big fish quickly escaped, and the released line immediately taut, its speed not even keeping up with the fish's swimming speed.
The pulley that was holding the cable kept spinning...
"The time has come, hurry up and catch up!"
Everyone quickly swung their oars, following the fishing line as they paddled...
Ye Feng kept a close watch on the fish; whenever it relaxed its guard, he would reel in the line and tug it a few times, urging the big fish to escape.
Once the opponent starts running again, he will continue to lay out the line.
And so, following the fish's path, they began to stagger and sway through the misty swamp.
Fortunately, Ye Feng had the foresight to not design the raft to be too large; otherwise, the raft would have been unable to move an inch in the mangrove forest filled with dead branches and twigs.
Before they knew it, they all felt their noses gradually becoming clearer.
The nausea in my body was gradually subsiding.
Fortunately, they had masks and hadn't contracted malaria yet. The toxic gases they inhaled would slowly be metabolized and expelled from their bodies over time.
Finally, after paddling for more than ten minutes, they managed to break free of the mangrove forest.
I saw a familiar forest that I seemed to have forgotten for a long time.
At this moment, everyone's faces were filled with barely suppressed smiles of excitement.
They were floating on a small river that was about twenty meters wide.
Looking at the lush trees on both sides of the river, everyone was filled with mixed emotions. They had never missed these ubiquitous plants so much.
Both little monkeys poked their heads out of the backpack and made "ooh ooh" sounds.
Previously, Ye Feng had kept them in his backpack to prevent them from being poisoned.
"We're out! Haha! We're alive!"
"Wow, bro, you're our savior!"
"Brother Feng, you're amazing!"
"Brother Feng, only you could come up with such a strange way of finding your way."
...
The fact that they survived the ordeal filled everyone with ecstatic joy.
That's how people are; only after experiencing a life-or-death crisis do they realize how wonderful it is to be alive.
Ye Feng is very happy now, but he is also filled with lingering fear.
Before long, it turned into worry.
Because Chou Chou had previously said that she wanted to go to the heart of the Amazon, which is the real primeval rainforest.
If a mangrove forest almost cost them their lives, how terrible must that place be?
How many more crises will they encounter on this escape journey?
After a moment, Ye Feng sighed and stopped thinking about it.
Thinking about it won't help; I can only improvise.
"Da Xiong, come help me pull this fish up. I'm going to make fish head soup today."
"OK!"
"Me too!"
Afterwards, with Fu Changxiong and Zhan Pengwu working together from the left and right, the guiding fish gradually surfaced.
Its black upper body and the two distinctive tentacles around its mouth are very prominent.
These are their old friends…
A young Amazonian giant catfish.
It looks to be less than a meter long and weighs about 70 or 80 kilograms.
"Wow! How come the catfish is so big? No wonder it's so strong."
Zhan Pengwu had never fished much, let alone encountered a giant catfish, so he was a little puzzled.
"This is big? We've caught fish weighing over 200 pounds before when we were rafting on the big river."
My brother told me that this thing is even edible.
Fu Changxiong explained to him while pulling him back forcefully.
The giant catfish was indeed very strong in the water; even after struggling for so long, it still had the strength to fight back.
