As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up-Chapter 197 - 173: The Ocean Overlord Walks So Fast

Chapter 197 -173: The Ocean Overlord Walks So Fast

This time, Chu Mingcheng was waiting for a Ghost Head Knife, which he had never hunted before.

However, neither he nor anyone on the boat noticed that a huge shark was fast approaching from the distance.

It opened its massive mouth, and its sharp teeth looked incredibly powerful.

At that moment, it spotted a careless Ghost Head Knife, dove down, and bit into it, shaking its head a few times, and the half-meter Ghost Head Knife was torn to pieces and swallowed by the shark.

But its massive, five-meter-long body wasn’t satisfied by such a small Ghost Head Knife.

It was the ocean’s supreme predator, a ferocious adult Great White Shark.

Right at that moment, Chu Mingcheng finally spotted his prey, a large Ghost Head Knife over one and a half meters in length.

He timed it perfectly and shot an arrow right into the Ghost Head Knife’s vital spot.

The fresh blood of the Ghost Head Knife began to slowly drift from the wound, and the fish struggled violently.

The smell of blood and the vibrations caused by the fish’s thrashing immediately caught the Great White Shark’s attention.

It was only about two hundred meters away and quickly changed direction toward the blood scent, moving fast.

Because the shark was under the school of fish, no one on the boat saw it, so naturally, no one pulled Chu Mingcheng’s saftey rope float to warn him.

By the time he saw the Great White Shark, it was already only twenty or thirty meters away from him.

The visibility in the water was limited, which allowed the Great White Shark to get so close.

The Great White Shark was imposing with its massive body and sharp teeth, and Chu Mingcheng felt panic inside, there was no denying it.

But he had been mentally prepared for an encounter with a large shark and was able to keep his composure.

He knew that the Great White Shark was not after him, but rather the Ghost Head Knife in his hand.

So, he immediately let go of the Ghost Head Knife and quickly took out his diving stick, kicking his fins swiftly as he swam towards the boat, facing the Great White Shark.

Without the resistance of water, his burst of speed at this moment was not slow, quickly distancing himself five meters away from the Ghost Head Knife, but the Great White Shark was almost upon it.

This distance was not safe, but with the Ghost Head Knife as bait, he was safe.

If necessary, he would even cut the fishing line to avoid his fishing spear being dragged away.

But unexpectedly, as the Great White Shark sped up towards the Ghost Head Knife and was about to bite it, it suddenly gave up and dove away.

From its reaction, it seemed to have encountered something terrifying, which left Chu Mingcheng baffled.

In fact, he didn’t know that a pod of Killer Whales had recently been near the boat.

The Great White Shark had a tremendously sensitive sense of smell and would flee upon detecting the scent of Killer Whales within a kilometer.

The reason it showed up was that the Killer Whales left early and the fish scattered their scent.

The sudden retreat was because it had picked up the scent of Killer Whales.

Of course, it was not the fading residual odor of the Killer Whales that scared it away, but rather, a pod of Killer Whales was approaching within a kilometer of the boat.

One could say that the ocean’s supreme predator made a swift getaway, or else its liver would have been gone.

The people on the boat hadn’t caught much fish that day, so they were relatively free and were the first to spot the approaching pod of Killer Whales from afar.

They also didn’t notice that the Humpback Whales had already left after having their fill.

Chu Mingcheng, still in the water, was perplexed, but unable to figure out why for now, he continued to pull up the fish and quickly brought it back to the boat.

Since the Great White Shark had appeared, it was no longer safe for him to continue fishing and he was forced to interrupt his hunting activity.

But after swimming back to the surface, Chu Mingcheng saw the approaching Killer Whales and had an epiphany; it was thanks to these cute creatures that his fish was saved!

Seeing this, he climbed aboard and lifted the Ghost Head Knife, not placing it in the cold storage but instead grabbing a fish-killing knife.

“Luoluo, come and feed them with me! The foreheads of little Killer Whales are so soft, they feel really nice!”

As he spoke, he covertly clenched his fist and made a clawing motion.

Jiang Luoluo immediately looked around nervously to see if anyone on the deck had noticed, and, seeing that they hadn’t, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She quickly came to Chu Mingcheng’s side and sneakily jabbed him in the kidney. After he gasped in pain, she let go and hissed quietly, “That’s for talking nonsense.”

“What did I say? Wasn’t it you who mentioned last night that the forehead of a little Killer Whale…” Chu Mingcheng began with a grimace, his waist still throbbing from the pinch.

But before he could finish, a small hand lightly touched his waist again.

“Does it hurt?” Jiang Luoluo asked tenderly, though her eyes were sharp enough to cut.

Chu Mingcheng earnestly shook his head, “No, the Killer Whales have arrived, and I just wanted you to join me in feeding them.”

“Okay, I’ll join you!”

“…”

He might have been outmaneuvered, but Chu Mingcheng didn’t mind.

He could bend during the day and stretch at night; the tweaks to his waist would be returned in full come evening. He wasn’t in a rush.

After a while, the Killer Whales arrived beside the boat, and it was still the same young one who had sought help that approached first.

Kids are especially trusting of suspicious uncles.

The one and a half meter Ghost Head Knife had a good yield, and the two of them could feed the Killer Whales for quite a while. Chu Mingcheng even stretched out his hand and touched the young Killer Whale’s large tongue.

Yep, also soft.

The young Killer Whale ate for a while before making room, and the female Killer Whale that was rescued the night before came up as well.

The two continued feeding until the last bit of the Ghost Head Knife was gone, and only then did they temporarily leave.

But they didn’t go far, instead hunting among the school of fish.

Then, to the astonishment of those on the boat, the female Killer Whale brought them a one and a half meter Yellowfin Tuna.

Impressive, hunting down a tuna.

Chu Mingcheng checked the tuna and found only one set of bite marks on it.

Its lethal injury was on its head, the whole skull smashed, likely from a strike of the Killer Whale’s tail.

Chu Mingcheng took the fish and asked the chef to cut it up in the kitchen. They would taste the tuna today.

“Luoluo, I’m going to swim with the Killer Whales for a bit to see if I can catch some fish for them.”

“Yeah, go ahead!”

Jiang Luoluo had already felt the friendliness of the killer whales, so she was very reassured.

With the killer whales around, there was no need to worry about sharks, because by now all the fish had already moved away from the fishing boat.

Chu Mingcheng took the fish gun and dived back in, and this time the visibility was excellent.

When he entered the water, the killer whales all swam over to him, bumping him with their heads as if greeting him.

Chu Mingcheng patted their heads one by one, then dived under the water and swam at a very fast pace toward the nearby school of fish.

With the big players around, he swam around carefree.

The killer whales did not immediately follow because they did not know what Chu Mingcheng was planning to do!

Only a young killer whale, out of curiosity, trailed far behind him.

After a little while, Chu Mingcheng once again reached the middle of the school of fish.

Some fish had already eaten their fill and left, but even more had arrived upon sense of the bounty.

Not only a school of Red Gan came, but also a school of Green Sea Bream.

Green Sea Bream look a lot like Red Gan, differing only in color and being slightly smaller in size, but they are likewise fine for sashimi.

Chu Mingcheng chose a smaller one, and after hitting it, he pulled it back and clipped it onto the live fish clip to carry with him, adding a bit of experience points.

His main targets were still Red Gan, which were not only larger but also sold better. Mainly because the Golden Spearfish were not around, and he did not know their exact location, he aimed for whatever was in front of him.

When he hit another meter-long Red Gan, the young killer whale finally came closer.

It nudged the fish gun Chu Mingcheng had let go of, which was floating in the water, seemingly curious about the object.

Then it sped up and charged directly towards the injured Red Gan.

Seeing this, Chu Mingcheng was startled, fearing it would bite into the Red Gan without thinking.

The fish arrow had penetrated the fish’s body, and if the killer whale bit down, it might get hurt.

Fortunately, he underestimated the intelligence of the killer whale; the young killer whale was very smart. It did indeed bite the Red Gan, but it only gently held onto the fish’s body without touching the fish arrow.

Then, it brought the fish back to Chu Mingcheng and waited until he grabbed the fish tail before letting go, opening its mouth and nodding its head bit by bit, as if asking for praise.

Chu Mingcheng killed the Red Gan and then, with a laugh, petted the killer whale’s head before taking a Green Sea Bream from the live fish buckle and feeding it to the killer whale.

The young killer whale seemed to understand this fish was a reward. It hadn’t been fully satiated by eating the Ghost Head Knife before, so it joyously enjoyed its rewarded fish.

After eating, it swam away, and Chu Mingcheng did not mind; he brought the fish back to the boat and had the deckhands store them away.

He only heard the killer whales producing whimpering sounds, as if they were discussing something.

When he set off again, he found that the killer whales, who had been circling the fishing boat, had suddenly disappeared.

But when he dived back into the water, he found the various fish hunting sardines all in disarray, with swarms of fish from all directions rushing his way.

Behind them, a killer whale was driving them on.

Chu Mingcheng was amazed by this scene, spinning around to capture this fortunate event on camera.

In such chaos, he could catch fish with his eyes closed, couldn’t he?

He hadn’t expected the killer whales to drive the fish his way, making his hunt much easier.

Moreover, they didn’t keep driving them continuously, but hovered around after reaching a certain distance, simply enclosing the school of fish and letting them cluster around the center of the fishing boat.

Chu Mingcheng immediately loaded his fish gun, then aimed at a two-meter-plus yellowfin tuna.

Compared to the killer whales, he appeared to be harmless, so the larger fish dared to get close to him.

At such a close distance, Chu Mingcheng aimed directly at the fish’s head, seeking a fatal shot.

“Plop,” the head of the chosen yellowfin was pierced by the fish gun, and after a brief struggle, it was motionless.

Chu Mingcheng’s fishing frenzy had officially begun.

The people on the boat were astonished, especially the deckhands; in just one hour, they had received five spearfish.

Four were over two meters long, yellowfins, and one was a one-and-a-half-meter-long longfin tuna.

Chu Mingcheng’s prey selection was so targeted, and they were all so large; his efficiency was even more exaggerated than a game cheat.

Who could catch five large tuna in an hour? Here was one doing just that.

But they weren’t surprised because a group of killer whales periodically swam to the surface, spurting jets of water that let them know the fish had been driven their way.

While hunting was thrilling, the fishermen had been casting in vain.

In their panic, the fish had no appetite for bait.

Chu Mingcheng had already used Life Conversion once, as his physical strength couldn’t keep up with the speed at which the fish were coming up.

Even if all the large spearfish were hit in the head, pulling them up was still laborious; bringing up each large fish to the surface was no easy task.

Unable to track how many fish he had caught, when he surfaced with a three-meter flagfish, Jiang Luoluo said, laughingly and helplessly, “Enough already, Grandpa’s cold storage can’t fit any more!”

“Is that so?” Chu Mingcheng felt a bit disappointed, “Then I’ll catch a few more and feed them to the killer whales later! If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t have been able to hunt so many fish with ease.”

Jiang Luoluo nodded, “That’s only fair, catch a few more then!”

A killer whale can eat 4% to 6% of its body weight in food every day—that means an adult killer whale needs to consume three to five hundred pounds of food daily.

There were six large and three young ones among this group of killer whales.

They had already eaten quite a bit themselves; in the end, Chu Mingcheng only caught three tuna over two hundred pounds each and then concluded this fishing hunt.

Seemingly sensing that Chu Mingcheng was back on the boat, the killer whales stopped encircling the school of fish and regrouped around the boat.

People on the boat started to cut the tuna, each feeding chunks of fish meat to the group of adorable creatures.
