Chapter 337: Hu Zi is really thoughtful

Too big.

Holy shit, I'll lie down and compare.

A Qing, compared to this Dragon Fish, you're like a kid.

Too big, too big.

Looking at the scales, each is as big as a child's fist.

Everyone was extremely excited, chattering away.

A Qing didn't say a word, went up and slapped the Dragon Fish's face with a few resounding smacks.

Mei Wu stepped forward, fists raised, eager to give it a try.

Everyone was overjoyed.

Catching the fish not only avenged us, but could also make a lot of money.

Come on, give me a hand.

Hang him up and beat him.

We'll repay grudges and settle resentments.

Wu An called out.

Wu Ping smiled and nodded at him: 'Forget it, you can bear to let go, but we can't.'

If we beat him up, how will we sell him for money?

We have to treat him carefully.

Wu An patted the Dragon Fish, laughing and cursing: 'Damn, we've hauled up a big shot.'

Lao Fu Tou's face was flushed; he took a bucket, scooped seawater, and splashed it on the still-living Dragon Fish.

The Dragon Fish is very valuable.

Not to mention that it's still alive, which makes it even rarer.

Dragon Fish normally live on the seabed; once they reach the surface they usually die, but this one is different—it had already been drifting on the surface for a long time.

Having adapted to the pressure, after being hauled onto the deck it's still lively and jumping.

Wu An gestured and said: 'Tidy up the live fish hold; it should fit.'

Everyone pitched in and lifted the Dragon Fish.

It's really heavy.

No kidding, it's heavy and slippery.

It must weigh three or four hundred catties.

I'd say it's about that.

Lao Fu Tou looked at the Dragon Fish lying in the live fish hold and said: 'I've been a fisherman all these years, but this is the first time I've seen one this big.'

I've heard that Gang Cheng has caught one this big before.

We haven't caught one like this on our side.

It'll definitely sell for forty or fifty thousand.

Everyone was very happy.

Wu An also grinned.

The live Dragon Fish weighs two to three hundred catties, and it's the first one they've seen here—all the bonuses are stacked, so an ordinary person definitely couldn't handle it.

Leaving aside whether the fish tastes good, whoever can buy it will surely earn people's respect.

A wealthy boss would certainly take a liking to this Dragon Fish.

One fish could pretty much make up for the loss from the damaged longline fishing.

After settling the Dragon Fish, Wu An checked the time—it was already evening.

The Dragon Fish lay still in the live fish hold, looking in poor condition; everyone was exhausted, and dragging things out would be pointless—plus, if the Dragon Fish died, we'd lose a big sum.

Everyone nodded.

No one had any objections.

So tired.

Wu Ping stood guard over the Dragon Fish.

Wu An came to the ship's side, saw the Killer Whale still there, and waved vigorously: 'Hu Zi, come, come, come.'

The Killer Whale swam over.

A Qing and Mei Wu also came over to look.

Thanks for today, I don't have much to repay you with, so I can only give you some food—don't disdain it." Wu An said, pouring the spring fish from the bucket down.

The Killer Whale happily started eating.

After the bucket of spring fish was emptied, Hu Zi ate a lot, with some falling into the sea; this time Hu Zi didn't sink down to eat as before, looking like he was full.

All right, that's it." Wu An waved at the Killer Whale and said: "We're heading back."

See you again if we get the chance.

Bye-bye.

The Killer Whale seemed to understand, letting out two cries, then flipped and disappeared into the sea; the next moment it appeared far off.

Wu An didn't look away until he could no longer see it, then added some luck value to the fishing boat; seeing that the remaining luck value was still 46 points, he couldn't help but sigh.

He realized he had a bit of obsessive-compulsive tendency.

If the luck value weren't high, it wouldn't matter if some was left unused.

But today there was so much luck value that he didn't want to waste even a point, wanting to use it all up; the remaining luck value just looked displeasing to him however he viewed it.

But now it's less than six hours until midnight.

On the other side.

The Hu Zi who had been helping returned to the big family.

The largest killer whale turned its head and let out two 'ying-ying-ying' calls.

The Hu Zi who had been helping also responded with two calls.

The other killer whales also followed suit and called.

They were communicating.

Then.

After the largest killer whale adjusted its direction, the other killer whales also turned.

And the direction the killer whale pod was heading this time was where the fishing boat was.

Wu An had just sat down and hadn't even taken two sips of tea when he heard Lao Fu Tou shouting.

He went over to look.

Only then did he realize the killer whale pod was pursuing them.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know."

"Why are they still sending them to us?"

"The killer whales are quite polite."

"Hahaha."

Everyone chatted cheerfully; Lao Fu Tou saw that the killer whale pod had no intention of ramming the fishing boat, and he completely put his mind at ease—let the killer whales follow if they want.

Wu An exchanged a few words with the killer whale; seeing it still follow, he was utterly baffled.

"What the heck?"

"Huh…… are they letting us follow them?"

"You guys see if that's the case?"

The movements of the three leading killer whales clearly showed a shift, the other killer whales also showed signs of turning, and the fishing boat was swept along.

Lao Fu Tou gave a wry smile: 'Even if we don't want to follow, we have no choice but to follow.'

Fortunately, these killer whales have no ill intent.

Otherwise, the fishing boat could now be said to have been kidnapped by the killer whales.

The killer whales swim very fast.

The few killer whales ahead have already disappeared from sight, but there are still killer whales on both sides of the fishing boat; those unaware might think the killer whales are escorting the boat.

Also, thanks to the killer whales accompanying us, otherwise Lao Fu Tou would have been somewhat nervous during this night voyage.

If anything unexpected happened, it could be fatal.

They just kept going for nearly twenty minutes.

Not to mention A Qing and Mei Wu and the others, even Lao Fu Tou felt a bit restless; their current course had completely deviated from the return route.

If they kept going like that, even without any mishap, they might run out of fuel and be unable to return.

At this moment.

The killer whale that had been silent suddenly let out a 'ying-ying-ying' call.

Wu An's spirits lifted.

He believed the killer whale pod wouldn't deliberately cause trouble.

He pointed ahead and shouted, 'Everyone, look.'

At the edge of the light, vision was somewhat blurry; occasionally a killer whale could be seen, and A Qing said, 'The Hu Zi seem to be going in circles.'

"What the hell?"

The fishing boat slowly approached.

When they got close, everyone was stunned by the sight before them.

The water surface boiled.

It was a school of fish!

A Qing excitedly waved his arms and legs: 'Oh ho ho, the Hu Zi are leading us to find the fish school!'

"Before, I and my brother had encountered them hunting in a pack."

"My brother said they were collecting tolls."

"Then this time the Hu Zi are voluntarily offering tribute."

"Brother, you're truly awesome."

Wu An broke into a sweat.

Saying that makes it sound like I did something to the killer whales.

He coughed twice and said, 'The Hu Zi are really generous.'

"All this makes me feel a bit embarrassed."

"We don't really have anything good to repay them with."

"A Qing, A Wu Ge, big brother, don't just stand there—quickly grab the cast net."

"We shouldn't let the Hu Zi's good intentions go to waste."

Everyone hurried into action.
