Chapter 420: A Colossus

The speed of this net hauler, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes making a rattling sound, sometimes making a creaking sound, made the father and son very confused.

Originally, I thought it was catching some big goods, so the net hauler made an overload sound, but now this situation of being fast and slow for a while, and having sound and no sound for a while, obviously doesn't look like catching big goods.

"This is not a problem with the goods at the bottom, should the net hauler be broken? If it catches big goods, it can't be this situation now? It should be as heavy as it was at the beginning."

"It's fine, how could it be broken? It hasn't been used many times, how long has it been since it was bought," Ye Yaodong was also confused, checking the operation of the machine, "Isn't this running fine? It shouldn't be..."

"Let's check it carefully when we go back."

"I'll go down to the water and take a look. I feel the machine is fine. Should there be something wrong with the fishing net at the bottom of the sea?"

Ye's father frowned at the machine making a rattling sound again and nodded, "Then be careful, go down slowly, and come up early regardless of whether there is any discovery."

"I know, it's not the first time I've gone down to the water, don't worry." Ye Yaodong said while putting on equipment.

After all, the sea area at the bottom is not familiar to him. Ye Yaodong was still very careful when diving down. As soon as he got into the water, he carefully paid attention to the situation on the seabed.

Just dived to about five or six meters underwater, he saw a colossus on the seabed in front of him, which shocked him instantly.

He hesitated and didn't float up immediately. Although there was a super-large unknown creature at the bottom, creatures on the seabed, as long as you don't mess with them, generally won't actively attack people. Humans are not on the menu of marine life.

And he also guessed that for a creature of such a large size, if it wasn't a whale, it should be a shark.

Thinking of the feeling of the tranquility before the storm in his heart when dragging the net before, and he always felt that there was an undercurrent surging under the sea surface, could it be because of this colossus?

Ye Yaodong carefully continued to swim forward, wanting to see whether it was a whale or a shark, and his net hauler on the boat had been rattling. Was it related to it?

He spent a lot of money on that machine, and it hadn't been half a year since he bought it, and it hadn't been used many times. If it was broken, he would be heartbroken.

After he swam a little closer, he also saw the white spots and horizontal stripes on the colossus, and this feature allowed him to identify it instantly. This is a whale shark, which is also known as the fish with stars on its back.

Its size was really too big. Although he saw the pattern on its body, there was still some distance between the two. At this time, it was head up and tail down, right next to his fishing net, and he didn't know what it was doing?

After identifying that this thing was a whale shark, Ye Yaodong was no longer afraid, and his heart was settled.

He hadn't seen such a large living whale shark yet.

Although the whale shark has a huge body, its personality is quite gentle and will not cause major harm to humans.

Ye Yaodong also boldly swung his foot fins and continued to swim forward for a distance. This time he finally knew why his net hauler would make a rattling sound from time to time, and why it would become normal from time to time.

He saw the scene in front of him with his mouth wide open. Holy crap, this whale shark was getting something for nothing, stealing his butt.

It turned out that a whale shark bit the fishing net. It discovered the hole in the fishing net, and only saw it opening its mouth wide and continuously sucking the small fish in the fishing net out, eating it with relish. It was really hanging.

He was also the first time to see that whale sharks eat fish by sucking.

Fortunately, he came down to take a look, otherwise, if this whale shark emptied the fishing net, he wouldn't know why the fishing net was empty.

This whale shark looks stupid, but I heard that its IQ is particularly high. I heard that the IQ of an adult whale shark is equivalent to a seven-year-old child.

When it stopped swallowing and sucking, the machine successfully pulled a small section, and then it would make a heavy overload sound only when it was sucked by it again.

It seems that as long as this whale shark is still there, he can't pull the fishing net up, and can only wait honestly for the whale shark to eat it up.

Your mother, this net was in vain, it was cheap for it, actually stealing food, so bad.

Ye Yaodong looked at it a few times without daring to speak, and then floated up directly. It was useless to stay there and look, and he couldn't do anything about it.

As soon as Ye's father saw him float out of the water, he immediately leaned over to pull him up, "How is it? There should be no situation at the bottom, right? I said it was a machine problem. It can't move at all now. It could still be pulled up from time to time just now. Now it can only be checked carefully after going back. Let's pull it up manually next."

Ye's father thought that if it was a problem with the fishing net at the bottom, then Dongzi had been down for so long, he would definitely be able to solve the problem and let the machine pull it up smoothly.

Now it can't be pulled even more, it must be that the machine is broken more seriously.

Ye Yaodong wiped the seawater on his face and said helplessly: "It's not a machine problem, it's a huge whale shark stealing food at the bottom."

"Ah?" Ye's father was stunned.

"I saw it suck a small part of the fishing net into its mouth when I came up just now. Now I can only wait for it to empty the goods in the fishing net before it is possible to collect it."

"Can it still be like this? Whale sharks can actually steal food?" Ye's father encountered this kind of thing for the first time and couldn't believe it.

"Hmm, it's about five or six meters underwater."

He felt that it should be stealing food, so he often saw news of whales being entangled in fishing nets in his previous life.

After Ye's father was surprised, he said with some regret: "Then we really can only wait for it to finish eating before we can pull the fishing net up."

"Wait, it should be fast. With its big mouth, if the opening of the fishing net wasn't too small, it could suck it like a storm."

"It's good that the fishing net is not broken, otherwise it would be fine to repair it for a few yuan, and it would delay today's work."

"This is hard to say, it has been bitten with a hole, which is convenient for it to eat. I don't know if it won't be enough to eat later, and it will swallow the whole thing."

"Swallow the whole thing? Then it's over? This trawling fishing net costs dozens of yuan to make, and it's energy-consuming and time-consuming. If it's swallowed, it will be delayed for ten days and a half without trawling."

"I just said it casually, it's not certain, let's see later."

Ye's father couldn't help looking at the sea and complaining, "Why did it run to the near sea for no reason?"

"Isn't this very normal?"

"How big did you see it when you went down just now?"

"Ten meters or so? Anyway, it's not small, I didn't dare to get close, just watched from afar."

Ye's father widened his eyes and opened his mouth silently, shocked by the length he said. He thought it should be at most three or four meters...

"So big?"

After speaking, he stared at Ye Yaodong seriously again, and scolded him with a straight face, "You saw that whale, and you actually stayed at the bottom for so long before coming up? Aren't you afraid that it will turn its head and suck at you, and swallow you? You are really bold."

"I didn't get close, I was at a long distance. It was because it was big that I could see it, and I heard that this whale shark is gentle."

"What gentle, gentle? You have only been out to sea for a year, and you know it is gentle? It is gentle for you to see? I haven't seen such a big whale, so don't dive into the water for me if there is nothing to do in the future, and mess with those things all day..."

"Thinking that underwater is your own swimming pool... you can go down if you want... how many things you don't know at the bottom... and some dirty things are waiting for people to go down and catch them to replace..."

Ye Yaodong saw that his father was getting more and more outrageous, and interrupted his words directly, "What nonsense, the more you talk, the more outrageous."

During this time, when he was diving to dig abalone at the reef, why didn't he say he was messing around?

Not counting fish goods, digging abalone earned nearly a thousand yuan. When he shared the money with him, why didn't he say it? Really.

"If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer. Many predecessors' experiences tell you, but you don't believe it. Don't use those equipment if you have nothing to do, and go down to the water less. How do you know if the place where you go down to the water is dirty or not, and no one has fallen down before? What if the one at the bottom is waiting there..."

"Good, good, good~ I know, I don't know less than you, that's it..."

"What do you know, rheumatism comes from this. If you dive too much, all kinds of diseases will come in the future. What I tell you, you have to listen..."

"Stop stop stop, the fishing net is pulled up..."

Ye's father also stopped talking immediately, seeing the fishing net pulled onto the slipway, and it was really empty as Adong said. He also sighed.

"This net is really in vain."

"It's good that the fishing net is still there. Let's drag it up and check it to see if there is any damage, and see if it can be used later? If it can't be used, forget it, let's go back early today."

It's good that it wasn't all swallowed. If there is damage, the loss will be less if it is repaired.

Just when the father and son thought they were unlucky and pulled the fishing net onto the deck, the whale shark suddenly floated to the sea surface. ===== CHAPTER 421 =====
