Reba had no other choice. She was already clinging to Ye Zi's coattails, and in this situation, she couldn't help at all. The only thing she could do was not to cause trouble for Ye Zi.
Ye Zi grinned, nodded, and jumped into the sea before the shark could rush over.
After two attacks, Ye Zi gained a general understanding of the sharks in the water. Contrary to his expectations, what he thought was a shark over four meters long was actually only about three meters long.
The system states that the tail length is included in the body length, but this shark's tail is indeed very long, almost half the length of its body.
Ye Zi didn't think the shark could capsize the small boat, but she hated the feeling of being attacked, so she finally decided to kill it.
Leaving aside top-tier ingredients like shark fin, the shark skin alone is an invaluable material.
Moreover, it's rare to have the production team take the blame.
When Ye Zi went into the water, viewers in the live stream started complaining about the production team's filming equipment. They said that it could only fly, but couldn't film underwater, making them miss the scene of Ye Zi fighting the shark one-on-one.
Leaf, underwater, stared in the direction of the shark. With the system's notification, Leaf knew that the shark had begun to accelerate.
Ye Zi wasn't in the mood to observe sharks up close underwater, because that long tail was also one of the sharks' attack methods. If she got whipped while observing the shark, although it wouldn't affect her movement, she would definitely suffer some flesh wounds, and the key point was that it would hurt.
After waving the machete underwater and assessing the resistance, Ye Zi chose to grip the knife in a reverse grip. As the shark approached, she thrust it straight down into the shark's head. Then, she raised the hand holding the knife, with the tip pointing downwards, and stood ready, watching the direction the shark was charging towards.
When the image of the leaf appeared in the shark's eyes, the shark made a noticeable change of direction.
Ye Zi was startled because the shark's movement caused her to lose the advantageous position of her raised knife tip to attack the shark's head.
But the shark's target was indeed him, only the attack method was different from what Ye Zi had imagined; it didn't bite, but whipped him with its tail.
Ye Zi adjusted the position of the cleaver in her hand, and her arm, which was originally raised above her head, suddenly fell down, the blade pointing forward, blocking the fish tail from lashing out.
Blood appeared, then was quickly diluted by seawater, and a fish tail nearly a meter long drifted down to the seabed.
Ye Zi turned to look at the shark, which was swaying back and forth, leaving a trail of blood.
Suddenly losing its tail, the shark cannot even maintain its direction of movement.
Without wasting words, Ye Zi immediately chased after it, striking while the iron was hot—a timeless rule.
A shark that loses its tail not only experiences a sharp decrease in speed but also loses control of its direction.
Ye Zi caught up with the shark and swung her machete at its head.
But the strike missed, and the shark, which was struggling to control its direction, managed to dodge it.
Leaf immediately changed her attack method, getting close, grabbing the shark, and then attacking.
This move worked perfectly. The shark, held by the leaf, completely lost its ability to attack and could only struggle desperately, hoping to break free from the leaf's embrace.
But this was destined to be futile. If the leaf, with its superhuman strength, were to break free from the shark, what would be the point of playing?
However, the shark's stings weren't entirely ineffective. To prevent the shark from breaking free, Ye Zi had to hold it with both hands, which prevented her from killing it with the cleaver.
However, this is not difficult. Since stabbing won't kill, strangling will do. Either way, it's the same as killing someone.
With a forceful pull of both hands, several bubbles miraculously emerged from the shark's mouth, followed by a stream of blood.
Feeling that the shark in her arms had stopped struggling, Ye Zi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
To prevent the shark from feigning death, he raised the hand holding the machete and stabbed it into the shark's head, then dragged the shark quickly towards the surface.
The breath-holding technique hadn't reached its highest level yet, limiting its underwater combat effectiveness. In just a short while, the air in Ye Zi's lungs was almost completely depleted.
Since Yezi went into the water, Reba on the small boat had been looking at the sea with Yezi. She also saw the blood gushing out from the fish tail that had struck the cleaver, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for Yezi.
Although the blood that Ye Zi strangled the shark was not clearly visible, it contained oxygen. During the process of the seawater diluting the blood, some of the blood was also noticed by Reba.
As soon as the leaves sprouted, Reba immediately asked:
"Ye Zi, how are you? Are you hurt?"
Ye Zi grinned and said:
"Nothing's wrong."
As she spoke, Ye Zi raised the hand holding the machete, and a ferocious shark head was brought to the surface of the sea by the machete.
"Oh my god..." Reba exclaimed and shrank back.
Actually, the shark could be seen when the leaves popped out, but Dilraba's attention was on the leaves, so she didn't notice the shark next to the leaves.
Now, being suddenly pulled out of the sea by Ye Zi, he was inevitably startled.
After the shark died, it was brought to the surface and it was not a problem to float on the surface for a short while. Ye Zi flipped onto the boat and then lifted the shark onto the small boat.
Seeing the shark's head pierced by a cleaver, Reba breathed a sigh of relief. After confirming that Ye Zi was unharmed, she finally felt relieved.
Ye Zi smiled and said:
"There's another tail down there, I'll go find it." With that, he jumped off the small boat and dived to look for the shark's tail.
Reba and the dead shark stared at each other, a terrifying sight no matter how you looked at them, before turning her head to look at where Yezi was diving.
Not long after, Ye Zi surfaced from the sea again, and then a fish tail about a meter long was thrown into the small boat.
After Ye Zi boarded the boat, she touched the shark carcass and said:
"I've got the sharkskin swimsuit. Now that I've thought about the style I like and finished processing the leather, let's get started."
Dilraba looked stunned, never expecting that her joke from back then would actually come true.
At this point, Ye Zi and Reba could no longer be seen in the live stream. The screen was filled with comments, which were quite chaotic, with some people explaining the different types of sharks.
This is an adult thresher shark, and then there's a bunch of stuff about the thresher shark's habits.
In general, it's normal for Ye Zi to encounter this type of shark in her location, as thresher sharks are solitary and prefer to live in shallow waters.
Its main attack method is to use its long tail to deliver a knockout blow to its prey before consuming it.
Some people were still celebrating their bets. Ye Zi was still the king of one-on-one battles in the wilderness, taking down a three-meter-long shark without taking any damage.
The solo challenge record has extended from land to sea, and we look forward to seeing if Yezi will take on larger and more ferocious marine predators in the future.
Another group of people felt sorry for Dilraba, who had gone through so much in just over ten minutes. These viewers were all Dilraba's fans.
The final part states that thresher sharks are actually protected animals, and that Ye Zi's actions were illegal.
These comments immediately drew criticism, with many saying that human life is far more valuable than shark life.
Only Ye Zi could take on a shark in the sea; anyone else would be dead by now. What's the point of protecting animals then?
