Last Totem Novel - Chapter 75
Chapter 75 Fishing
Just as the iron slag was thinking nonsense, Feng Yun walked over with a large plate and placed a piece of dark red food similar to internal organs on each of their plates.
“Boiled fish liver with red wine.” Perhaps because Iron Slag didn’t understand, Feng Yun gave the name of the dish.
The captain lowered his head and sniffed. He gave a thumbs-up and praised, “It smells so good. As expected of a chef.”
Feng Yun chuckled and asked, “Do you want me to swim back?”
“I’m joking. If you want to swim, I’ll swim back.” The captain said disrespectfully.
Zhao Linglong interrupted from the side, “Alright, I’ll swim back with you.”
Feng Yun saw that he had someone to help him, and he was so tired of it, so he immediately lost interest and put away the big plate and went back to the kitchen.
The iron slag picked up the knife and fork and looked at the things on the plate. It had been a long time since he had made his move. Seeing this, the captain cut a demonstrative piece and put it into his mouth to savor it carefully.
“En, this is a tuna I just caught this morning. Its liver is especially tender. If you press your tongue against your upper jaw, you will be able to feel the extreme delicacy.” Said the captain to himself.
Tie Zha did as the captain said without a word. The taste was indeed good. Red wine permeates into the tender and pink fish liver. It has both the aroma of wine and the unique sweetness of fish liver. When he ate it, it was as if there was a stream of heat flowing into his heart and lungs, making him feel extremely comfortable.
Just as he was about to express his gratitude to the captain, he heard the latter whisper to Zhao Linglong, “Although this dish is delicious, compared to you, it is simply pig food.”
Hearing the sticky tone, Tie Zha, like Feng Yun, lost interest in speaking and only wanted to leave this indivisible place as soon as possible. Fortunately, Zhao Linglong did not respond. She just smiled and ate the delicacies on the plate. Otherwise, he would definitely find a reason to leave. If he didn’t leave, he would be bored to madness by the two of them.
Before this, he had never felt that women were important. However, the captain taught him a good lesson today, allowing him to deeply understand how important it was to have a female companion by his side. At the very least, at this moment, there was no need to be too embarrassed.
Half an hour later …
The bitter lunch was finally over, and Tie Zha was about to get up and leave when the captain grabbed him and said, “Come, I’ll bring you to catch fish. Are you interested?”
Just as Tie Zha was about to refuse, she heard Zhao Linglong say, “You guys go. I want to take a nap.”
“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded. Hearing that Zhao Linglong was leaving, he naturally changed his mind. After all, it was a bit boring on the boat, so it would be good to have some fun to pass the time. Of course, he would rather be bored and return to the small black room to squat than watch the two of them get tired of each other.
After packing his things, Tie Zha followed the captain to the side of the boat. After putting down the boat, the captain called for Wu Congyun of Accountant and ordered, “Release the scouting bees and monitor the five nautical miles”.
Accountant nodded and trotted back to the cabin. After a while, he returned with a wooden box.
“I will release mutated worker bees. Don’t worry, they won’t sting people.” After saying that, Accountant opened the plywood of the wooden box, and with a dense buzzing sound, a ball of black fog rushed out. He fixed his eyes and looked closely, only to see thumb-sized, yellow and black wasps.
The accountant pointed forward and the swarm of bees immediately dispersed and flew in different directions.
“He is a bee whisperer, and his ability is’ Scouting Worker Bee ‘.” Explained the captain.
“Bug Transformers?” Tie Zha asked.
“Nonono” The captain shook his finger and said, “We don’t usually call each other that. We call each other according to their abilities.”
“Looks like you believe me.” Said Tie Zha. Bug Transformers usually hid their abilities and wouldn’t let others know about them easily.
“This is the boundless ocean, a forbidden area for humans. We are all on the same boat. If we cannot trust each other, we will all die here.” The captain patted the fence and said, “Actually, you scanned our bodies. You can’t hide anything from us.” The captain paused for a moment before continuing, “And you should be a traditional evolutionary. There’s no conflict between you and us.”
“Is that so?” Tie Zha grinned.
Seeing the other party’s malicious smile, the captain’s heart skipped a beat and began to doubt his judgment.
“Your guess is correct. I am indeed a traditional evolutionary.” Said Tie Zha.
The captain heaved a sigh of relief when he received a definite answer. If the iron slag was a worm, then they would be in trouble. Next, the captain put down the rope ladder and climbed down the boat. Afterwards, Iron Cinder and Wu Congyun also climbed down.
“If you accidentally fall into the sea, you’ll have to swim back to the boat in a minute. Black backs are especially fierce in winter.” The captain reminded as he untied the cable. At the same time, Accountant picked up the paddle and pushed it against the rim. The boat then left the Big Dipper and was towed by a few meters long cable, not far behind.
The captain opened the boat’s plate, took out two metal poles, and swung them forward. With a whoosh, the metal rod extended forward, forming a long fishing rod.
“This thing is not bad for weapons.” Tie Zha looked at the fishing rod and said.
‘”Uh …” The accountant choked on his words and said after a few seconds, “Don’t stay the same, okay? I know you’re the best fighter.”
Tie Zha grinned and took the fishing rod from the captain. He learned to tie the string and hang up the bait. Then, he swung it hard and started fishing …
The surface of the sea was very calm. The waves gently patted the side of the boat, and the buoys rose and fell …
Ten minutes later, the captain suddenly shouted and tugged! In an instant, an arm-thick black fish rushed out of the sea and struggled in midair. The sharp fin reflected the dazzling sunlight, making one’s scalp numb. Accountant, who had been squatting on the edge of the boat, quickly got up. He held a sharpened metal pole in both hands and stared nervously at the black fish in midair.
The next second, the captain pulled hard. The black fish was pulled by the fish thread and immediately fell to the boat. At this moment, Accountant was incomparably nervous, Tie Zha was leisurely, and the entire painting was filled with discord.
“Drink!” Accountant tugged at the sharp duck’s throat and stabbed forward with a trembling arm. In the end, he didn’t expect a “puchi” sound, but a “puchi” sound, and then the black fish fell into the water …
“Its movements are too sensitive.” The accountant complained to himself. The captain and the iron slag shot him a glance at the same time, their eyes filled with disdain. Moreover, they were tacitly silent.
The black fish that fell into the water struggled desperately, wanting to get rid of the control of the fish thread, but the barb of the hook was tightly stuck in its flesh, and it was unable to break free at all. The captain tugged at the fish thread, loosening it for a while and tightening it for a while, exhausting the black fish before slowly dragging it onto the boat.
“Look, how relaxed.” The captain said to Accountant as he pulled off the hook. However, at this moment, the dying black fish suddenly rolled up and slapped its tail forcefully! “Pa!” A crisp sound rang out, and it actually rushed up! He opened his sharp serrated teeth and bit the captain’s neck!
Seeing that blood was about to splatter on the spot, the captain turned his wrist and said, “Whoosh!” A black spike rushed out of his palm and pierced through the black fish. The black fish immediately lost its struggle and fell heavily into the boat.
In the blink of an eye, the black thorn in the captain’s hand shrank back, as if nothing had happened.
“Damn, this black back is really fierce.” The captain picked up the black fish. Under the afternoon sun, the black scales shone brightly, the sharp fins flickered with cold light, and the sharp serrations were incomparably fine. It could be imagined that if it had bitten it hard just now, it would probably have lost half of its life.
Tie Zha looked at the captain’s hand. Just as he was about to ask what kind of ability it was, a buzzing sound suddenly came from above his head. Looking up, it turned out that a wasp was circling in the air. In the blink of an eye, Accountant stretched out a finger. The wasp immediately flew over and stopped at the tip of its finger. Then, the man and the bee stared at each other, as if they were having some kind of silent exchange.
A few seconds later, Accountant’s expression suddenly changed and he shouted, “Not good! They found an angry blue whale.”
“What are you panicking about? The angry blue whale is a vegetarian.” The captain said disapprovingly.
“The problem is, it’s below us” Accountant said in a trembling voice.
“Ah!” The captain opened his mouth wide and was dumbfounded.
Tie Zha looked at their expressions and knew that something was wrong. He hurriedly tossed aside the fishing rod and looked down at the seawater. However, the deep blue seawater sparkled, as if nothing unusual had happened.
Something’s wrong! The seawater was changing color, becoming deeper and deeper, as if something was floating up!
“There’s something down there!” Tie Zha shouted loudly, then looked at the Big Dipper and thought about how to get back. It was estimated that the distance between them was more than 30 meters. However, he was born in the sand sea and could not swim …
The captain came to his senses and pulled out his walkie-talkie and shouted, “Emergency! Emergency! Full speed now! Full speed now!”
“Wu …”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Big Dipper sounded a heavy whistle. Immediately after, the seawater in the stern boiled, and the ship’s speed also increased rapidly.
At this moment, the boat shook violently, and the seawater below seemed to be surging crazily.
“What should we do?” The accountant’s face turned pale as he supported the boat and asked in a lost voice.
“Salad!” The captain shouted. At this moment, he might soon die. So he shouted what he had been wanting to say to Accountant. Immediately after, Accountant also shouted, “Hooligans! Too hooligans!”
At this critical moment, Tie Zha couldn’t care less and suddenly exerted all of his strength! Along with the sound of six air-piercing sounds, the six knuckles behind him suddenly jumped out and nailed themselves firmly to the various parts of the boat.
As time passed, the boat shook more and more violently. The captain and Wu Congyun struggled to grab the iron pipes on the edge of the boat and were about to be thrown down. Tie Zha, who was beside them, hurriedly pulled back two knuckles to help them fix their bodies.
At this time, the sea calmed down without warning. The boat stopped shaking, as if even the wind had stopped.
Tie Zha had just let out a sigh of relief when he discovered that the fear in the accountant’s eyes had reached its peak! In the next second, a cannonball seemed to explode in his ears!
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
Fierce waves of air mixed with water droplets pounced on his face. Turning around, he saw water pillars soaring into the sky!
