After listening, Reba nodded thoughtfully, and then said:
"This is a good idea; at least we don't have to worry about food anymore."
Ye Zi was speechless, and handed over the fish she had shot, saying:
"Don't overthink it. With me here, would you really risk doing something like this?"
Reba took the catch and said happily:
"That's true, it feels good to have a powerful backer."
Reba carried the catch back, and Yezi inspected the small boat. Cracks had appeared in the keel, and it was unclear how much longer it could be used.
However, it's certain that the small boat can't withstand further impacts; it will probably fall apart next time.
After checking the condition of the small boat, Ye Zi turned and walked into the sea; there were still things she hadn't brought back from the sea.
The system's detection function brings Yezi a lot of convenience. For example, now that the shark carcass is on the seabed, Yezi only needs to enter the detection range to find it accurately.
Upon reaching the top of the corpse, Ye Zi didn't even need to dive to check the exact location; she simply adjusted her breathing and went straight into the water.
After diving, Ye Zi hugged the fish's tail and slowly walked towards the island.
When Ye Zi resurfaced, he no longer needed to dive. The great white shark tail tucked under his arm gradually emerged from the water as he moved forward, followed by the shark's massive body.
Reba was preparing to grill fish, but she was curious about what Yezi was doing and kept turning her head to look at her.
Inadvertently turning his head, he saw Yezi carrying something ashore. Overjoyed, he got up and walked towards the beach.
But the more she walked, the more frightened she became, and the slower she walked, because Ye Zi was dragging a great white shark more than four meters long behind her.
Pointing behind Ye Zi, he stammered:
"This is...the great white shark that attacked us yesterday? You...you just...killed it?"
Ye Zi grinned and then said:
"Yes, that's it. I didn't expect it to stay. When I went to shoot fish, it popped up again and attacked the small boat."
As you know, our small boats can last a few more days if used normally, but they can't withstand an attack. Once the boats are destroyed, it will definitely attack me, so I have no choice but to take action.”
Reba stared wide-eyed, her gaze shifting back and forth between the leaves and the great white shark's corpse, and after a long while said:
"That was too dangerous! Are you alright?"
Ye Zi dragged the great white shark carcass ashore, released the fish tail, and said:
"No, you saw me when I got ashore just now, nothing happened."
Reba nodded with a complicated expression. She had indeed checked earlier; Ye Zi showed no signs of injury. She took a few steps forward to examine the great white shark's corpse, then suddenly asked:
"You row at a speed no slower than a great white shark, why don't you run away, just like we did yesterday?"
Ye Zi smiled helplessly and explained:
"I'd like to too, but small boats are no longer allowed. Rowing leisurely is fine, but if we go fast, we'll definitely be scrapped."
Ye Zi dared not say that the reason he didn't run away was simply to satisfy his desire to take on the Great White Shark one-on-one, making him act like a madman.
"Is the boat about to fall apart?" Reba asked in surprise.
Ye Zi nodded affirmatively, turned around, grabbed the gunwale of the small boat, half-lifted the boat, and pointed to the bottom of the boat, saying:
"It was attacked by a thresher shark a few days ago, a great white shark yesterday, and was attacked again today. It's already cracked."
Dilraba went closer to take a look and indeed saw two cracks through which light was passing. The drone that was filming Dilraba also went closer to take a picture and could indeed see the cracks through which light was passing.
Ye Zi put down the small boat and continued:
"There's nothing we can do. The small boat has been submerged in the water for too long. It's a miracle it's still usable. After being attacked so many times, it's no longer allowed to move forward quickly."
Reba recalled the speed at which Yezi rowed her away yesterday; it was indeed very fast.
Drone footage and actual experience are two completely different things. Although the drone footage shows that the leaves are rowing fast, the speed is not very obvious. Only Reba has the right to speak on this.
"How did you kill such a big shark? That's amazing, I've never heard of anything like it."
Ye Zi pulled out half of a cleaver and said:
"He stabbed it a few times and punched it a few times, and then it died."
Dilraba exclaimed in surprise:
"The knife is broken?"
"Yes, I need to find that half of the machete in the corpse later, otherwise it will be difficult to process the fish later."
Dilraba looked blank and said:
"You dragged the great white shark's carcass back just to find half a machete?"
Ye Zi winked and said:
"Not entirely. Since it's already been killed, it's a waste to feed such a large shark skin to the fish. I plan to keep it."
Reba was speechless, then remembered her grilled fish and quickly returned to the shelter to check on it.
Ye Zi started looking for her broken half of the machete.
By this time, Ye Zi's solo kill against Great White Shark had been confirmed, and the live streaming platform and netizens had edited the events from the live stream and posted them online.
The live streaming platforms are even more ruthless. After editing, they directly pin the video to the top of their own platform. Whenever someone opens the app, the first thing they see is Ye Zi's solo kill of Great White Shark and her subsequent conversation with Dilraba.
Because there were so many similar videos, even netizens who didn't pay much attention to the show became interested, and a large number of viewers clicked on the live stream just to witness the great white shark carcass being dragged ashore.
More viewers mean more traffic, and more money.
In the live stream, some loyal fans of survival shows even posted screenshots of Ye Zi killing a black bear with a punch, kicking a brown bear to death, and killing a moose with a flying rock.
Ye Zi, the king of one-on-one battles in the wilderness, stated frankly that the targets she hunted were getting bigger and fiercer with each encounter.
Some people say that Ye Zi's one-on-one career has expanded from land to sea.
This statement resonated with many netizens, proving that the title of "King of One-on-One Battles in the Wilderness" is well-deserved.
Compared to Ye Zi's live stream, the other live streams seemed unremarkable, even uninteresting. Only Ye Zi's live stream occasionally produced something that would send adrenaline soaring.
The sudden surge in popularity of island survival shows, including Ye Zi's video of soloing a great white shark, has not only been shown to the owners of live streaming platforms, but also to some unidentified individuals.
Siqin and her husband, who live far away on the grasslands in China, have been loyal fans of their son ever since Yezi opened his account during winter vacation.
Siqin looked at Reba with satisfaction in her eyes, and even asked Ye Qingshan more than once if he had found any clues.
However, judging from the way Ye Zi and Reba interact, they haven't had a single slightly intimate interaction, so Ye Qingshan judged that there was no chance for them to get together.
If it's not going to happen, it's not going to happen. But Siqin still cares about her son. When Yezi hunted the thresher shark, Siqin was heartbroken and told Ye Qingshan that Yezi was not allowed to participate in such programs in the future.
When Ye Zi appeared dragging the carcass of a great white shark, Siqin was stunned, never expecting her son to be so powerful.
But the conviction to prevent Ye Zi from participating in such programs only strengthened.
Fighting wild beasts once or twice is a matter of luck, and three or four times it takes real skill, but if you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. As a mother, she was worried.
