Chapter 176: Diving into the Sea to Battle the Sailfish, Crazy!

"Not right, the fishhook is about to come out, I can't reel it in." Cui Shuran said with a solemn face.

"Ah, no way, after fishing this long, now saying we can't bring it up, that's too bad." Xiao Rou pouted, looking regretful.

Zhao Zhiming also shook his head, "A Cheng, give up, we can't get it up."

Lao Wang and Jiang Weiyang, although not experts, could still see this simple situation clearly, they could only let out a deep sigh.

"There will be plenty of time, we missed this time, but there will be another chance next time."

Ye Cheng held the fishing rod, expressionlessly looking at the underwater situation, it was no good, he knew.

But seeing a fish over a hundred jin about to slip off the hook, Ye Cheng really didn't want to give up like that.

He glanced at Xiao Hu, his gaze gradually becoming firm.

Xiao Hu jumped in fright, "No way, brother, don't do that, it's too dangerous."

"Hold it, I know what I'm doing." Ye Cheng said solemnly.

Seeing Ye Cheng's expression, Xiao Hu took the fishing rod with a troubled face, though he kept advising,

"Brother, really, it's not necessary."

The others had no idea what these two were about to do; Cui Shuran looked at Ye Cheng with curiosity, while Xiao Rou directly asked,

"Ye Cheng, what are you doing?"

Ye Cheng turned his head, looked at the others solemnly, and slowly uttered two words:

"Go into the sea!"

Those two words stunned everyone; Zhao Zhiming turned his head to look at the sea, stammering in disbelief,

"You're not planning to go into the sea to catch fish, are you? Crazy?"

"You... you're being too exaggerated, a sea fish—you go into the sea to catch it? Isn't that suicide?" Xiao Rou jumped anxiously.

Cui Shuran shook his head, "Useless, it'll slip off the hook with just a struggle, then the fish will be in the sea, no one can catch it."

Lao Wang's face full of shock, after a pause he said, "No, what's the use of you going down, catching it with your hands? That's just messing around."

"Right, you might end up losing your life." Jiang Weiyang was also terrified.

"Besides, this is a sailfish; a turn and a stab from it would finish you—are you planning to saddle us with a murder case?" Cui Shuran shouted sternly.

If Ye Cheng died after going down, everyone on this boat, although not the murderer, would surely be investigated.

Ye Cheng turned his back, pulled out the spear he had prepared earlier from under the water tank, then took off his clothes and said to Xiao Hu,

"I'm going down."

Having said that, amidst the exclamations of the crowd, Ye Cheng grabbed the spear, leapt up, and with a plop jumped directly into the seawater.

"Ah—"

Xiao Rou turned pale with fright, covered her mouth and screamed, her face full of terror as she watched Ye Cheng's silhouette.

"Damn! Crazy? He actually went down!" Zhao Zhiming slapped the boat rail hard, unable to believe Ye Cheng really went down.

Cui Shuran, a young master from a wealthy family, never imagined someone would jump into the deep sea for a fish; aside from shock, it was still shock.

Upon entering the water, Ye Cheng felt extremely comfortable; the afternoon sea temperature was just right, but he forgot to wear goggles when going down, his eyes stung a bit.

After a brief adjustment, he dove down sharply, swimming toward the sailfish.

Suddenly something came up from below the sea surface; the sailfish was startled, and, already struggling, it exerted even more force, twisting wildly while pulling on the line.

Xiao Hu held the fishing rod, actually keeping the same direction as it, delaying the moment it would slip off the hook.

"It's about to slip off the hook!" Cui Shuran shouted; the seawater was clear, visible to the naked eye.

"Ye Cheng is swimming over." Xiao Rou's voice began to tremble, her small hands gripping the boat rail tightly, as if she could help Ye Cheng exert force.

At times like this, the middle-aged and elderly group said nothing, just stared at the sea below; in fact, they were also extremely nervous.

Ye Cheng swam over; his innate sense of danger let the sailfish know this thing meant it no good.

So it simply stopped struggling and, using its long snout, thrust straight at Ye Cheng.

The sailfish's swimming speed is extremely fast; charging straight like that, Ye Cheng couldn't dodge by speed alone.

He could only twist his body sharply in the water to let it pass.

But although he dodged the sword-like snout, he didn't dodge the fish's body; the sailfish's tail slapped him, slamming him down heavily.

"Be careful." Xiao Rou no longer dared to shout loudly, fearing her voice would startle the sailfish into a more violent attack.

Ye Cheng was knocked downward into the deep sea; the sailfish then exerted itself, turned around, and from above stabbed straight down at Ye Cheng.

At this rate, if it stabbed him, Ye Cheng might end up as a skewer.

Cui Shuran's pupils contracted sharply; he abruptly turned his head and bellowed at Xiao Hu,

"Pull the rod!"

Xiao Hu's arms bulged with muscle; he roared and pulled upward with all his might.

The fishing line went taut; the sailfish's body, as it dove down, was jerked hard by the hook, paused a moment, then continued diving headfirst.

The hook flung a piece of flesh out of the sea.

It slipped off the hook!

"It's over, it's over, it slipped off the hook, Ye Cheng can't dodge it now." Zhao Zhiming stared blankly, muttering to himself.

Given this situation, we no longer dare to hope to catch the fish; now if the sailfish doesn't attack Ye Cheng, that's already a blessing.

"Hey! Hey! Let's go!" Now there's no need to worry about scaring the fish; Xiao Rou jumped up on the boat and stamped her feet, trying to scare the sailfish away.

However, Ye Cheng was a few meters below the sea; such shouts were too feeble, and the sailfish still resolutely dove down to stab him.

Cui Shuran silently closed his eyes and let out a sigh.

Beneath the surface, Ye Cheng steadied his body; his chest ached faintly, that blow hadn't been light.

The sailfish came down, its speed rapid; his mind quickly calculated that he couldn't dodge it.

So what!

If you can't dodge it, then just go for it!

Fuck you to death, you little bastard!

Ye Cheng gritted his teeth, eyes wide open, both hands firmly grasped the spear, not retreating but advancing, he pushed off with both hands and straight from below upward met the sailfish and thrust upward.

「Fuck! 」

「Holy shit! 」

「Damn it! 」

The few people on the Boat, aside from swearing, really have no words to describe their current mood.

「Asshole! 」 Cui Shuran silently spat out the few vulgar words she knew.

Whoosh!

In the flash of lightning and flint, the Sailfish collided with Ye Cheng like a sword, then took him and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Everyone stared at each other, this...

He vanished in an instant, leaving everyone at a loss.

「He... he was taken to the Sea Bottom? 」 Xiao Rou stared with big eyes at everyone.

Cui Shuran silently nodded, 「More likely bad than good. 」

「He's been down there for several minutes already and still hasn't brought an oxygen tank? 」 Lao Wang's face turned ashen; this is definitely an accident, as the boat owner he'll surely be dragged into trouble.
