Chapter 174 Thousands of troops come to meet each other

After a quiet night, Chu Mingcheng was woken up by distant and long calls outside.

After washing up and walking out of the bedroom, Chu Mingcheng came to the deck and was immediately shocked by the wonder not far away.

Several humpback whales with huge bodies appeared on the sea. Because of their appearance, the killer whales that lived next to the boat last night had already fled.

Although killer whales will hunt young humpback whales, they cannot handle several adult humpback whales here.

After all, the humpback whale’s motto is: eat, sleep, and beat up killer whales.

Of course, when they appeared on the sea, they did not come here specifically to beat up the killer whales, but because a shocking shoal of sardines appeared on the sea.

The scale was so large that Chu Mingcheng, who was standing on the boat, could not reach the end, and it was completely dark.

When he came to the flybridge, he would see water exploding from time to time, which was caused by giant fish preying on sardines.

As for the humpback whale, it rushed straight out of the water, its huge mouth opened to swallow an unknown number of sardines at once.

Chu Mingcheng took a look at his second-level aquatic product illustrated book. With the new function, will this situation often occur in domestic waters in the future?

At some point, Jiang Luoluo appeared next to him with a camera in his hand filming.

Obviously, compared to the sunrise, this rare scene is more important to photograph.

It's a pity that there are no drones in Chuming City, otherwise it would be more fun to take aerial photography.

Unexpectedly, a drone suddenly appeared above him and went straight to the center point.

Wei Jiaguo was operating the joystick of the drone in his hand, and there were pictures taken by the drone on it.

Jiang Luoluo immediately came over: "Grandpa, let me play with the drone!"

"Can you operate it?" Wei Jiaguo asked first. If he didn't know how to operate it, he might fly his drone into the sea.

"Yes, yes, I've played with it before." Jiang Luoluo took the joystick and steadily operated the drone to fly over the sea.

Suddenly, she seemed to see something and immediately shouted: "Acheng, Grandpa, look, there is a swordfish!"

Wei Jiaguo's eyes lit up and he immediately came over.

Then he saw a group of swordfish flying from the distant sea. The moment they rushed into the fish school, they broke through the fish school's defense line like ancient cavalry charging into battle, cutting dozens of holes.

"Let's go fishing for swordfish!" Wei Jiaguo immediately walked into the cab and wanted to sail the boat over.

This time I came to Dongsha partly because Chu Mingcheng came to ride the boat, and partly because I wanted to get a sailfish specimen.

Now that the swordfish has really appeared, he can't hold it back.

"Lolo, you and grandpa are fishing on the boat. If you catch a sailfish, be careful of its long beak. Ask the boatman to help pull it up when the time comes. I'll go change clothes and go fishing."

Chu Mingcheng was also full of interest now, and the best hunting target finally appeared.

"Then you should be careful yourself and bring a diving pole with you this time." Jiang Luoluo still told him as before.

She knew that this was Chu Mingcheng's job, so she would not advise him not to get into trouble, but she still couldn't hide her concern and worry. After all, the target this time was more sinister.

"Well, I will pay attention to safety." Chu Mingcheng nodded, returned to the bedroom and started to change clothes.

The sun was shining brightly today, so he put on an underwater camera to record first-person videos of sailfish fishing and hunting.

Brother Neptune has posted two videos. The second one is exactly what Jiang Luoluo said. It combines his fishing and hunting perspective with the addition of gentian grouper, which immediately made the video popular.

These days, his number of fans has reached 130,000, and there are at least hundreds of comments under each video.

A small number of fans also asked to buy fish from him.

When you start catching some common fish or coral fish later, you can start trying to sell them on the Internet.

Chu Mingcheng changed his clothes and came out, and Wei Jiaguo's boat had already arrived near where the swordfish was hunting.

As the boat comes along, the school of fish will automatically disperse and then close from behind, just like being surrounded by thousands of troops. It's quite interesting.

As for fishing, there is really no shortage of live bait this time out to sea.

The live squid from last night has not been used yet, so today's sardines are ready for use.

But in this case, can fishing really rely on bait to attract fish?

Chu Mingcheng had a question mark in his mind. He personally felt that it would be difficult to catch fish when encountering such a large school of fish, unless he was lucky enough to catch a fishhook.

Chu Mingcheng jumped into the water, and the fish around him dispersed instantly. Then they seemed to realize that he was not in danger and surrounded him again.

He could feel the touch of the sardines on his body, like a different kind of massage, quite comfortable.

I feel like these sardines are suitable for catching some and soaking your feet at night~

Sardines: What grudges are there?

However, Chu Mingcheng was extremely uncomfortable with being surrounded by sardines and having no sight.

He loaded the speargun, then took a breath and dived into the water.

The fish spear that I always carried on my back has now been replaced by a diving pole.

The diving pole has electric current, which is a bit like an anti-wolf electric shock baton, and can prevent sharks from approaching.

The thickness of the sardine school was a bit exaggerated, and Chu Mingcheng only regained sight after diving to a depth of ten meters.

The view was average, not because the water was unclear, but because the fish blocked most of the sunlight.

Fortunately, light is everywhere and some can still leak in.

The water quality of this kind of distant sea is very clear, just like the previous trip to Xisha. You can see very far in the water.

At this time, Chu Mingcheng discovered many predators under the water. In addition to the humpback whales he had seen before, there were also a group of tuna and ghost-headed knives, which were dolphins.

It is also a large fish that can grow up to two meters, but its weight is relatively light, less than 100 kilograms, so it is not considered a giant fish.

And the price is only forty-five pounds, so it is probably classified as an ordinary aquatic product.

But Chu Mingcheng was still somewhat interested in this fish. The color was very beautiful and it was big enough.

It's just that he has to find a suitable swordfish first and deal with the Wei family first.

So he started swimming, slowly approaching the range where the swordfish was hunting.

Not far away, after passing Xiaohui Chuming City, I spotted Sailfish.

This is a group of Oriental swordfish. Its dorsal fin covers almost the entire back of the fish and stands like a flag. It is very different from the dorsal fins of swordfish and marlin.

Although this kind of swordfish can grow up to three meters four, it weighs just two hundred kilograms, barely entering the category of giant fish.

Among this group of swordfish, there were several very large ones, visually longer than the big-eye tuna hunted last night, but Chu Mingcheng did not immediately target these big fish.

He didn't know the habits and aggressiveness of this fish, but he had heard that swordfish were very ferocious and had even killed many fishermen.

But he also watched a lot of videos of swordfish hunting and found that the reactions of swordfish after being hit by fish arrows were no different from other fish, and their companions would not pay attention to the attacked swordfish.

It seems that they will engage in cannibalism due to reduced competition for resources and mates.

Perhaps this is the main reason why they ignore the killing of their own kind!

If they didn't have hands, they might even clap and cheer.

But a video is a video after all. Maybe it’s not that there are no special circumstances, but that the person hunting has become cold and can’t send it out?

Holding a speargun in the water, he quietly waits for the swordfish that approaches him.

Suddenly, a swordfish rushed towards me at an extremely fast speed, and it seemed that its target was me.

But Chu Mingcheng didn't panic. The swordfish was very fast, but not too fast out of the range of the naked eye.

Secondly, his own sensitivity in a small area in the water can be said to be higher than that of these large fishes. As long as he is not surrounded, basically nothing will happen.

However, this sailfish seemed to be heading towards him, but in fact it whizzed past him three or four meters away and plunged into a school of sardines.

After eating a few sardines, its speed suddenly slowed down.

Chu Mingcheng's eyes lit up. That was it. Who let it scare him?

This Oriental swordfish is about two meters long, but its weight should not exceed a hundred kilograms, or at most just over a hundred kilograms.

But its body is like a thick water pipe, and its long beak is included in the body length of the swordfish, so it is understandable that it is not heavy.

At this time, the swordfish turned over and prepared for the next hunt.

But his speed after turning over was also the slowest. Chu Mingcheng had been aiming the speargun for a long time, and immediately pressed the trigger when he saw this.

The fish arrow broke through the water and instantly pierced the fish's body, just behind the gill cover, and pierced its internal organs.

This is considered a serious injury. The fish arrow has completely penetrated. Chu Mingcheng can safely hold the fishing line without fear of the fish arrow falling off.

The swordfish was exactly like the one in the video. It didn't attack him ferociously because it was injured, but it wanted to run away because it was scared and panicked.

But even though it is two meters long, its pulling power is far inferior to that of a tuna of the same length.

Coupled with the injury, Chu Mingcheng's dragging was not that difficult.

The swordfish next to him really didn't attack their companion because he was injured. They were just hunting sardines on their own.

In this case, Chu Mingcheng was completely relieved.

Currently, there are no sharks within the sailfish's hunting range, so he can fight the swordfish with peace of mind.
