Chapter 184 Hey, the tiger’s mouth snatches food!
"The Old Man and the Sea" is one of the masterpieces of the writer Ernest Hemingway, and in this story it can be called a world famous novel.
It tells the story of an old fisherman who finally caught the largest marlin he had ever seen in his life.
This fish was so huge and so powerful that it dragged the boat on the sea and fought for three days and three nights. During this period, the old fisherman showed amazing perseverance and determination, and had a battle of will and physical strength with the marlin.
And Chen Yun thought of this story.
So they tore out a bunch of holes in the fishing nets of the island nation's fishing boats to prevent them from fishing this time, and then held them in their hands and combined them into a rope, pulling them along in a wave of speed and passion on the sea.
during this process.
The fishing boat, which was only ten meters tall, was shaken by Chen Yun's terrifying power.
It wasn't until the three people on the boat were frightened that they almost went crazy. Chen Yun stopped playing with the fishing boat whose engine was damaged by pulling him around.
then.
He continued southward without caring about anything.
As for three people and a fishing boat without power, how lonely they are in the vast sea.
That has nothing to do with Chen Yun.
For the sake of not provoking him and not being an extreme left-winger, Chen Yun exercised restraint by not taking the lives of three people at will.
These three people should be lucky to be left here instead of being eradicated by Chen Yun.
As for whether they can survive, that's not something Chen Yun should worry about.
Now Chen Yun was speeding towards the southern sea without any distractions.
And the vast sea.
For the first time, Chen Yun also felt the broad and unintentional thought of being an enemy.
It's just too big.
It was as if no matter how far he swam, he was still surrounded by the endless ocean.
In this vast blue, he seemed to have turned into a drop in the ocean, floating in the boundless waters, with nothing around but the caress of the waves.
The boundary between the sea and the sky is blurred, and it is difficult to tell where the sky ends and the sea begins.
With every stroke, the ripples caused quickly dissipated in the vastness, and it seemed that even time had lost its meaning in this vast ocean.
After swimming for a long time, all I could see was still the deep and monotonous blue, with no outline of the land and no sign of other humans.
This vastness makes people feel both shocked and lonely, as if they are the only ones left in the world to depend on this eternal water.
The sun moved slowly from east to west, the stars rotated in the night sky, and Chen Yun felt like a speck of dust forgotten in the corner of the universe.
Small and helpless.
The only sound in my ears is the sound of waves lapping against my body, echoing the rhythm of my own breathing. Every breath seems to be in dialogue with the sea, telling the fragility and persistence of life.
Loneliness surrounded him like sea water, seeping into every pore, making people think about the meaning of life and the value of existence.
In this vast sea, human worries and desires seem to be diluted without a trace, leaving only the pure will to survive and awe of the unknown.
This kind of experience is both a test and a baptism, allowing people to find hope in despair and discover strength in insignificance.
That boundless ocean.
Faintly, Chen Yun felt that the road he would take in the future was as boundless.
And the emptiness around him now seems to imply that it will be difficult for him to have companions in the future.
Just thinking about it makes me feel lonely.
This made Chen Yun dare not think too much and immediately continued to accelerate.
Having already improved a lot in speed, he continued swimming like this for another eight hours, until almost two o'clock in the afternoon on April 15th.
Do a rough calculation.
He found that he had almost arrived near the fishing ground outside Fujian.
And here it is.
Chen Yuncai finally encountered something interesting again. He looked with interest not far away, where a fight was going on.
In the dark and deep depths of the ocean, a natural battle of life and death is quietly taking place.
Under the sea, the tranquility was broken by the sound of rushing water.
A group of killer whales, about a dozen.
They have strong bodies and skin as smooth as obsidian. They can shuttle freely in the water, forming a tight circle around a huge creature.
This giant thing is the secret resident of the deep sea - the giant squid, a species that rarely appears in this still considered offshore area.
Its tentacles stretch out and are dozens of meters long, all covered with suckers. It is usually almost invincible in the deep sea, but at this moment it seems extremely isolated and helpless.
The eyes of the giant squid are like two huge gems, shining with fear and despair. It tried to use its flexible tentacles to resist and entangle, hoping to get rid of this encirclement.
But every round of counterattack seemed so weak.
The killer whales seem to have a tacit understanding of tactics. They take turns to coordinate attacks from all angles, sometimes diving under the squid, sometimes attacking from the side, using their sharp teeth to bite the soft flesh.
It is simply a perfect hunting art.
The silence of the deep sea was broken by the din of battle. The ink sprayed by the squid filled the water, trying to confuse the audience. However, the experienced killer whales dismissed this. They relied on their keen hearing and echolocation to easily penetrate this last stage. Line of defense.
Every impact of the killer whale and every tear of the sharp teeth made the giant squid twist its body in pain.
The ink mixed with blood, staining the surrounding seawater black.
As time goes by, the squid's resistance gradually weakens, and its huge body seems to be slowly losing strength. Its tentacles no longer wave powerfully, and it can only reluctantly adopt a defensive posture.
The killer whales are even more unscrupulous, and their hunt is coming to an end.
Finally, under a coordinated attack, the giant squid collapsed, and its huge figure slowly sank. Surrounded by the joy of victory of the killer whales, they shared this rare feast, and the sea area once again returned to depth and tranquility. .
And Chen Yun, who watched the whole process.
Then he approached slowly without fear.
Looking at the eaten king squid, he bravely swam over and picked up a fragment.
This wave is also called snatching food from the tiger's mouth!
This successfully attracted the attention of the killer whales.
It’s okay if the small fish and shrimps gather around to share their food.
A creature like you, which is nearly two meters tall, is quite small. How dare you come to grab the leftovers?
A strong killer whale in the group of killer whales made a sound to drive him away without hesitation.
As a creature with extremely high IQ in the ocean, it did not attack immediately, but chose to try to scare Chen Yun away.
But Chen Yun naturally would not be scared away.
Instead, he tasted the pieces of the king squid with great interest as if nothing had happened.
As expected, the king squid failed to whet his appetite, as did the Pacific squid.
But the reason why Chen Yun must try it is.
Mainly because I am curious about this thing. After all, this thing has always been mysterious in the past and often appeared in various legends as a water monster.
The giant squid has long been full of mystery due to its reclusive living habits and huge size, and is known as "the last mystery in the sea."
Most of what people know about them comes from accidentally captured specimens and remains in the stomachs of sperm whales. It was not until modern times that more information about their living habits was obtained through deep-sea exploration technology.
Now after tasting it.
Although Chen Yun has no appetite, his sense of taste is still normal and he can confirm:
This tastes the same as regular squid.
Nothing special.
After shaking his head in disappointment, Chen Yun looked at the many killer whales that were gradually gathering around him because they couldn't scare him away, and couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.
