Chapter 298: Hunting For Horse Mackerel
Giant trevally are fish that can grow quite large and are ferocious in nature.
If a person nets an adult-sized giant trevally, and they aren’t particularly strong or don’t have enough people, that fish could drag them into the sea.
It’s basically impossible to catch a fish like the giant trevally, which is large and has strong pulls, with today’s fishing rods; the rod would snap.
Therefore, these fish are rarely seen at the dock.
Yun Jiao looked at the adult expectantly, “Can I jump down from here?”
“No!”
Several people said in unison, and they responded so quickly, as if afraid Yun Jiao would jump if they were any slower.
“It’s so high, and the waves below are not small. What if there are unseen reefs below? How dangerous would it be for you to jump down?”
Yun Jiao drooped her head, she knew this would happen.
Sigh, another day of missing her big tail.
For merfolk, this distance would be completely manageable.
“Let’s remember this spot and see if there’s another place to go down.”
However, Yun Linhai was still worried, “The giant trevally down there seem to be quite numerous. Jiao Jiao, why don’t you not go?”
Without orcas, he wasn’t reassured.
Even if his daughter could kill a wild boar with one punch.
But being in the water is different from being on shore; it’s hard to exert force in the water.
Yun Jiao was as confident as a little rooster, “It’s okay, they can’t beat me!”
She quickly looked for a place to go down. After circling around, she took a detour and it took a while to reach a spot a bit diagonally in front of the giant trevally school.
This place was much closer than where they were standing before.
But if one’s swimming skills aren’t good, they wouldn’t dare to jump down easily.
Yun Jiao was already impatient to jump into the sea.
Yun Linhai, the worried father, thought the giant trevally looked dangerous: “Let’s not go. We’re not lacking money that we need to catch these giant trevally.”
He was truly afraid his daughter, with her small frame, would be hit against the reef by a giant trevally; that would be no joke.
Those big guys, any one of them looked much bigger than Yun Jiao.
Yun Jiao didn’t care and jumped straight into the sea.
Those watching from the reef felt their hearts tighten.
The waves were a bit strong, and after Yun Jiao entered the sea, they couldn’t see her figure anymore.
And at this time, Yun Jiao was flexibly weaving between the submerged reefs.
The seawater here was not only turbulent, but due to the obstruction of the reefs and the island, the sun couldn’t penetrate, making the water here much colder than in other places.
Yun Jiao’s pure white skin was quite striking in this dark place.
Because of this, she was targeted by some large fish.
Yes, it was the giant trevally active in this area.
In the eyes of the giant trevally, Yun Jiao was a strange thing, something they hadn’t eaten before, but that didn’t stop it from wanting to taste it.
Behind a certain reef, a large fish head slowly emerged, staring in Yun Jiao’s direction. Its tail swung as it approached her.
After estimating the hunting distance, it directly charged.
The speed was like a high-speed flying bomb.
Just as the giant trevally was about to collide with her, Yun Jiao quickly dodged sideways. The large fish, which was taller than her, almost brushed past her body as it charged by.
Swimming forward for a considerable distance, the giant trevally stopped, seemingly puzzled as to why the prey it had targeted had disappeared.
Suddenly, something patted its left side.
The moment the giant trevally turned its head, a small fist smashed towards its head.
The giant trevally, not yet aware of its prowess, didn’t take this tiny thing seriously and took the blow head-on.
Then…
Its head buzzed. The giant trevally, feeling like it had been punched hard, felt like half its soul had floated away, not knowing what year it was.
Before it could recover, Yun Jiao delivered several more friendly greetings with solid punches.
“Since you’re so enthusiastic, I won’t be polite.”
Even in the sea, Yun Jiao’s eyes were exceptionally bright.
Hey, a free delivery service.
After a few punches, this self-delivered giant trevally was successfully knocked unconscious.
It wasn’t dead, but it was half-crippled.
Yun Jiao had held back her strength.
Dragging the giant trevally by its tail, Yun Jiao turned her head and saw a giant trevally not far away peeking out, seemingly watching the show.
In that instant, the giant trevally’s fish eyes met Yun Jiao’s intense gaze.
Giant trevally: …
It was hiding in the dark, wanting to see if it could snatch some prey when the other giant trevally caught something.
But it didn’t get any food and witnessed the brutal scene of a fellow creature being utterly defeated.
Although most fish don’t have high intelligence, they are smart enough to grow this big and have a sense of danger.
Almost the moment it made eye contact with Yun Jiao, the giant trevally turned its head, wagged its tail, and prepared to run.
Yun Jiao: Since I’m here.
She quickly chased after it and grabbed the giant trevally’s tail, performing a big swing.
It smashed directly into a reef not far away.
This impact knocked it unconscious.
She even rushed up and added two more punches.
Excellent, two caught at once.
Yun Jiao was overjoyed, and dragging the tails of the two large fish, she swam back towards where she had jumped down.
Along the way, she encountered other giant trevally, but those clearly smarter ones, seeing the two of their kind in her hands, immediately turned and fled.
Yun Jiao didn’t chase them, as she had two large fish in her hands and couldn’t spare a hand to pursue.
“I see it, I see it, they’re coming out.”
Spotting Yun Jiao’s silhouette, everyone standing on the reef, waiting anxiously, couldn’t help but shout.
“This way, Yun Jiao, this way!”
Yun Jiao’s two short legs moved like a fish tail, and even with both hands occupied, it didn’t hinder her speed.
“Holy crap!”
Seeing what Yun Jiao was dragging, Chu An and Wang Hongfei both gasped in disbelief.
Their eyes widened, and their mouths could have fit two eggs.
“Those… those huge fish, did your sister catch them all?”
Watching Yun Jiao approach, dragging two large fish, Chu An almost thought he was dreaming and secretly pinched himself, wincing from the pain.
“My goodness, I’m really not hallucinating.”
Yun Chennan’s lips curled up, “Yes, I told you my sister is very strong.”
“She’s also a very good swimmer.”
Although his voice didn’t fluctuate much, anyone could hear the pride and show of pride in his tone.
“In this sea, I haven’t seen anything that can harm her.”
After all, orcas are her sister’s friends.
With such a sister, how could he not be proud?
Chu An: …
This is beyond the normal range for humans.
Who has the strength to fight something weighing hundreds of pounds, and in the sea at that.
And she caught two of them.
He had clearly seen how ferocious those fish were when they ate seabirds.
He stared intently at Yun Jiao, trying to find something different about her compared to a human.
