Chapter 579: Binding Hu Zi

Seeing this, A Qing and the others also shouted loudly: "Get out of the way!"

Heavens!

Goddess Mazu bless.

Get out of the way!

Everyone was anxious.

Hu Zi hurriedly dove.

Those two swordfish were like assassins from ancient times coming to kill, and they arrived in an instant.

Lao Fu Tou bit his cigarette, stared with a solemn expression: "How could swordfish actively attack a killer whale much larger than them?"

Wu An said in a low voice: "Swordfish will!"

After previously catching swordfish and returning, he had looked up information; precisely because of that, he kept his distance from swordfish.

A newborn calf fears no tiger—that's fine.

But to provoke despite knowing the danger is either brave or foolish!

Not to mention killer whales; even a trawler over twenty meters long, upon sensing danger or feeling provoked, will be attacked boldly by swordfish.

Swordfish are naturally fierce.

For swordfish, there's nothing they can't kill with their long snout.

If there is.

Then just strike again.

Not to mention killer whales; even sharks, or even blue whales larger than them, have records of dying from a single swordfish snout strike.

As the saying goes, on a narrow path the brave prevail.

For swordfish, when they encounter similarly sized "large predators" such as sharks, killer whales, etc., they generally do not retreat.

Instead, they fight if they disagree, treating life and death lightly.

Moreover, swordfish are often dominant.

Why?

Because his sword-like long snout is practically a bug-like cold weapon in the ocean.

You know, sharks are the ocean's overlords, top of the marine food chain; yet even they cannot avoid being specifically targeted and killed by swordfish.

Swordfish, sailfish, and marlin are called the Ocean Three Heroes, and that name is not given lightly.

If sharks are brave warriors, then swordfish are the most ruthless, merciless killers!

One strike, certain death!

Once struck by a swordfish's snout, there's nothing left but death.

Even sharks are no match, let alone killer whales; once struck, even if they don't die instantly, the countdown to death has already begun.

In the blink of an eye while Hu Zi dove, the two swordfish had already reached the spot where he had been; then, one left, one right, they flicked their snouts, making a slashing motion.

Wu An gasped, sucking in a cold breath.

Fortunately, Hu Zi dodged quickly.

A Qing cursed: "Holy shit, these swordfish aren't simple; that pose just now, you all saw it, right… damn, it really looks like swinging a sword."

Because it was too shocking, A Qing's mouth kept spewing profanity.

Lao Fu Tou said: "Swordfish attack like this—more cutting than stabbing."

"Years ago, when I dragged adhesive nets, I saw many fish cut into pieces; after they were cut up, the swordfish would eat."

A Qing laughed and cursed: "I'll be damned, they're still so particular."

Just as they were speaking, Hu Zi surfaced beside the boat.

Wu An reached out and patted Hu Zi's head, asking: "All right?"

Hu Zi gave a slight nod of his head.

Wu An had just relaxed when A Qing shouted: "Brother, brother, brother, something's wrong—those two swordfish seem off."

Wu An quickly looked up and saw that after failing to hit Hu Zi, the two swordfish made a half-circle and then surged straight toward the fishing boat.

'Holy shit!'

Wu An glared: 'Here they come again.'

'Damn, it looks like we've pissed off the swordfish.'

'What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and dodge!'

He told Hu Zi to dive quickly, then grabbed A Qing and ran toward the wheelhouse.

Swordfish are very fast.

Even though Hu Zi had already dived and disappeared beside the boat, their speed did not drop.

Wu An pulled A Qing into the wheelhouse.

He cursed inwardly: 'What the hell is this? He never imagined that just going out to sea for work would one day earn him a grudge against swordfish.'

Could it be that activating a cheat somehow passively gives a mocking face, like a spinning top reincarnated, making everyone want to flick it?

Wu An felt gloomy.

He quickly gave the fishing boat a luck boost, hoping it could hold out; for now, this was the only thing he could do.

Lao Fu Tou was adjusting the rudder, but compared to the swordfish's speed, the fishing boat's pace was about that of a turtle—just doing what he could, leaving the rest to fate.

A Qing gritted his teeth in anxiety, shouting: 'Brother, we can't just stare blankly!'

'Let's get the harpoon.'

'When the swordfish come, we'll stab them to death.'

Wu An kicked him, saying angrily: 'If you dare go out, I'll break your leg first!'

"Stay here obediently."

"Hold on tight, there might be some bumps later."

A Qing rubbed his butt and became obedient.

Just as two swordfish swam parallel and charged over, the distance to the fishing boat was only about ten or so meters, a huge black shadow kicked up a spray of water, suddenly leapt out of the sea, and squarely collided with the swordfish.

"It's Hu Zi!"

Hu Zi bumped the swordfish into the air, then struck another swordfish.

For a moment, water splashed everywhere.

The sea surface rolled with waves, the scene was extremely chaotic.

Hu Zi succeeded with one strike, dove again, and while fleeing, he didn't forget to slap water at those two swordfish with his tail.

Those two swordfish were left dazed and confused.

This isn't over yet.

Hu Zi again rushed up from the seabed, bumping the two swordfish into the air.

"Ah! Hu Zi, well done!"

"Holy shit, Hu Zi, awesome!"

"So handsome!"

"Hu Zi is the one."

Everyone excitedly howled; if Hu Zi were nearby, they'd definitely lift him up high.

Wu An also laughed.

After all, Hu Zi is no ordinary killer whale; he has brains and tactics, while swordfish are dangerous but ultimately just blockheads, only knowing to charge straight, so naturally they are no match for Hu Zi.

Hu Zi bumped them twice more, and those two swordfish had no more movement.

Either they're dead, or they've been knocked unconscious.

Wu An hurriedly called out: "Hu Zi, push the swordfish over."

Hu Zi did as told.

Soon, the two swordfish were pulled onto the deck; Lao Fu Tou and the others hurriedly processed them, happily saying: "A An, the quality of these swordfish is much better than the ones we caught before."

Wu An asked: "Why?"

Fu Yongning said with a smile: "Large catches like tuna and swordfish need to be bled, to ensure the meat quality and taste, right?"

"When we haul them in, the swordfish struggle fiercely, actually ruining the meat quality."

"The best is like this: the swordfish dies instantly, no struggle, then we bleed it, and the meat is top-quality."

Wu An suddenly understood.

Pretty good.

Then we can sell it for a better price.

Wu An fed Hu Zi some ice cubes, didn't stint on praise, and gave Hu Zi full emotional value.

Hu Zi was very happy, letting out several "yao" cries.

Without any warning, the system suddenly popped up a reminder: "Ding, sensed a bond with marine life, can upgrade."

Wu An was stunned, then immediately chose to upgrade.

Then.

Again, just like the last upgrade, damn it, there was no response at all.

Everything he has to figure out himself.

Wu An pondered, looking at Hu Zi; the system said forming a bond with marine life, which must refer to Hu Zi.

Well...

He reached out his hand to touch Hu Zi's big head.
