As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up-Chapter 191 - 170: No More Stubbornly Clashing with the Golden Spearfish?_3

Chapter 191: Chapter 170: No More Stubbornly Clashing with the Golden Spearfish?_3

“Fishing is too inefficient, I estimate a big catch tonight with underwater hunting.” Having been here all day without touching the wooden spear, if I don’t seize the opportunity tonight, I might not get another chance tomorrow.

“Then be careful…” Jiang Luoluo was a bit worried.

“Yes, I will pay attention to safety.”

Chu Mingcheng returned to the deck, fully equipped, with a headlamp mounted on his forehead.

Without a dive partner to handle the light at night, it’s actually not ideal for filming, so we unfortunately have to skip shooting the golden spearfish hunting tonight.

After a while, Wei Jiaguo also came up on the deck, looked at Chu Mingcheng’s gear, and said, “Be careful about safety, the open sea is different from the coast. If there are sharks nearby, don’t be greedy, make sure to come up first.”

Chu Mingcheng nodded, indicating he understood.

Actually, if there really were sharks, there was no need to fear. If that happened, I would just spear a fish. The shark would prefer attacking the injured fish, which would naturally allow me to escape.

Besides, with schools of fish around, sharks wouldn’t specifically target humans since we’re not on their menu.

Chu Mingcheng entered the water from the boarding point at the back of the boat and then swam to the side of the boat, taking the wooden spear from Jiang Luoluo’s hand, he began fishing.

Taking a deep breath, he dove into the water.

He then swept his gaze back and forth, first using the light on his head to check the surroundings.

Surprisingly, there were nothing but golden spearfish all around, densely packed, numbering in the hundreds, almost forming a golden spearfish tornado, which was quite exaggerated.

However, Chu Mingcheng was able to see the distribution of the golden spearfish clearly underwater.

Like typical schools of fish, the smaller ones were in the upper layer, and the bigger fish were in the middle and lower layers.

However, this was only a particular situation formed by the fish-attracting lamp tonight.

Normally, golden spearfish form groups based on age and size; big and small fish do not mix together.

Chu Mingcheng began to dive deeper. The golden spearfish at the bottom immediately dispersed, but they didn’t move far from him, staying only about five or six meters away.

This distance made fishing really too easy, especially since the golden spearfish were such large targets.

Chu Mingcheng observed carefully and spotted a yellowfin bigger than two meters, with a round belly and a slightly wounded mouth.

The number of yellowfin was the highest among all the golden spearfish, and the school they had attracted tonight was also yellowfin. He did not spot any other types of golden spearfish.

Chu Mingcheng loaded his spear and began to aim at the slightly injured yellowfin.

“Bang~”

“Pfft~”

The spear successfully hit the yellowfin at the spine, penetrating deeply.

The harpoon shot from the wooden gun was indeed much more forceful, but still could not penetrate the thick body of the golden spearfish, likely blocked by the spine.

However, this was a good spot as hitting the spine immobilized the yellowfin and caused it to bleed profusely.

Under the illumination of Chu Mingcheng’s light, black liquid continuously flowed from the wound of the yellowfin, which was its blood, merely appearing black in the seawater.

Letting go of the spear so it could float on its own, Chu Mingcheng swam over holding the line.

The surrounding golden spearfish scattered, then continued to gather nearby, not fleeing despite a fellow being attacked.

The injured yellowfin could hardly swim, its broken spine made it unable to control its body.

Chu Mingcheng quickly swam up close, then positioned himself at its back, grabbed its pectoral fin with his left hand, and with his right hand, he pulled out a diving knife and plunged it into the yellowfin’s forehead, intent on killing it quickly.

This yellowfin was hardly moving, but as its forehead was stabbed, its survival instinct erupted again, and its body started to wriggle once more.

But the movements were not strong enough to break free from Chu Mingcheng.

After a short while, the fish died from a pierced forehead, and Chu Mingcheng then held the fish by its pectoral fins and brought it to the surface.

“Luoluo, throw me the winch rope,” Chu Mingcheng said as he surfaced and spat out his breathing tube, amid the astonished gazes of the others.

Wei Jiaguo checked his watch, only two minutes and a little over twenty seconds had passed, such efficiency…

Jiang Luoluo had already become accustomed to his hunting prowess and agreed to throw down the rope.

By this time, Chu Mingcheng had already swum with the fish to the small rear gate of the boat, and after tying the rope around the Golden Spearfish’s tail, he had her start the winch to pull the fish up.

The remaining tasks didn’t require his attention; the crew would handle the fish’s blood and guts and store it in the cooling chamber.

Returning to the water, Chu Mingcheng continued to look for Golden Spearfish over two meters long.

This time, not having broken the spine, the fish struggled exceptionally violently.

When Chu Mingcheng hit the Golden Spearfish, he almost immediately lost sight of it as the line sped out at a high rate.

He clung to the fishing line, and the fish pulled him along, darting forward five or six meters in an instant.

The burst of power from the fish at that moment was immense, requiring much of Chu Mingcheng’s effort to stabilize his body and counter the fish.

Unable to reel the fish back immediately this time, he could only let out some line and hold tight to prevent the fish from escaping too far, then he swam to the surface and called out to Jiang Luoluo, “Luoluo, bring me the other spear gun.”

“Okay!” Jiang Luoluo, without asking why, ran to fetch the spear gun.

“You load it for me; I’m busy holding the fish and can’t free my hands.”

“Mm-hmm…”

She knew how to load the spear gun, and when she handed it down, the spearhead was directed toward the slanted side of the water, not foolishly towards Chu Mingcheng.

After receiving the spear gun, he dived back into the water to locate the injured yellowfin tuna.

When fishing, such large fish can pull a person along, but the actual situation in spearfishing can vary depending on where the fish is hit.

As long as a vital spot is hit, the Golden Spearfish can’t escape far.

Although the previous shot from Chu Mingcheng wasn’t fatal, it had severely injured the fish.

Thus, it was only the initial burst of strength that was strong; subsequent handling wasn’t so difficult.

This time, as he kept tugging on the fishing line, the fish could only struggle in the nearby waters.

When Chu Mingcheng swam to the area where the fish had stopped, he found it already lying on its side in the water, barely moving.

To avoid further struggle, he swam over, aimed at the fish’s head, and shot another arrow.

At close range, the head of the yellowfin tuna was instantly penetrated, and after struggling briefly before dying, it soon lay still, and Chu Mingcheng then embraced it and swam up to the surface.

The second fish was pulled onto the boat, taking a bit longer, a total of twelve minutes.

“Ah Cheng, with your efficiency, you could fill Grandpa’s cooling chamber in one night, couldn’t you?”

This afternoon, Jiang Luoluo had caught a Golden Spearfish weighing around 150 pounds; it was not only strenuous for her to pull, but even with Chu Mingcheng’s help, it had taken more than an hour, so she now understood the difficulty of catching big fish.

Seeing Chu Mingcheng effortlessly land two big fish over two meters long, she couldn’t help but remark on the efficiency of spearfishing.

“It was good luck to encounter so many fish, and hitting vital spots both times made it easier. Otherwise, even for spearfishing, it wouldn’t be so easy; it’s quite exhausting,” Chu Mingcheng explained with a smile.

Simply bringing two large fish back to the surface required considerable strength and stamina, all this right under the boat.

After all, the strength unleashed during the fish’s struggle was also significant; pulling them required a lot of energy, and stamina was quickly depleted.

Chu Mingcheng wasn’t sure how many large fish weighing over 200 pounds a spearfishing participant could catch at once.

Perhaps a regular spearfisher would be exhausted after pulling up just one, but he felt he could still handle a few more.
