Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness-Chapter 770 - 767: Failure?
On the ocean's surface, Bi Fang continued to slap the water, but despite all the shaking, no sharks approached.
[Ah, is this thing really useful?]
[Are you doubting Old Fang's abilities?]
[Normal, catching fish isn't something you can do just by using a method. It also depends on luck.]

[Indeed, you can tell you've never fished before. You need patience for this kind of thing.]
A quarter of an hour later, Bi Fang had caught two more small fish, crushed them, and threw them into the sea.
Shaking the coconut drum indeed could attract the sharks from the sea, but just as the Shuiyou said, like fishing, it required a bit of luck.
Life wasn't guaranteed to give results just because you had the right method.
Using a fish head as bait once again, Bi Fang's hands never stopped moving.
There were still no large figures in the sea. Instead, the scent of blood attracted a lot of small fish, and through good visibility, he could see every detail of their shapes.
But Bi Fang wasn't interested in them. Catching these small fish was a waste of time and effort compared to catching a big one at once.
Finally, after half an hour of baiting and slapping, a shadow that was significantly larger than the other fish swam by and swallowed the fish head Bi Fang had just thrown out.
[It's here, it's here!]
[It's a shark!]
[The shark is here, holy shit, it's huge. Can we catch it?]
Bi Fang lay flat, his eyes fixated on the shadow that had suddenly appeared. He was somewhat excited.
"It's a Pacific Rat Shark!"
[What kind of shark is a rat shark?]
[Stop fussing.]
[Our Wolf Fang live streaming platform has a partnership with Qian-Du, and everyone can use it for free to search for information.]
[Show off much.]
"For those who aren't familiar with sharks, including myself when I first encountered animal classification documents, the name rat shark is no doubt quite unfamiliar."
"However, the species we have before us now is very renowned and could arguably be considered one of the most famous sharks, a name I believe no one is unaware of."
[Great White Shark, I bet 50 cents! It has to be it!]
[We have Director Spielberg to thank for this.]
"That's right, the Great White Shark. The one we have before us is a Pacific Rat Shark, with 'Pacific' as its prefix. It's one of the top predators of the Pacific, ferocious and fierce, resembling a smaller version of the Great White Shark in overall shape with massive killing power. Although it rarely attacks humans, it still poses a potential threat."
In order to avoid the reflection of sunlight on the water's surface, Bi Fang lay on the platform, his face almost touching the sea.
Many viewers were worried the shark might suddenly leap out and take a bite.
But that was a common scene only in horror movies. Although rarely employed, in the water, Bi Fang too had a certain capability of electroreception in sharks, making it impossible for a shark to launch a sneak attack.
"The largest individual Pacific Rat Shark can grow up to 220 kilograms, no less formidable than the Great White Shark. This one here is not small. I estimate it weighs at least a hundred kilograms. If we can catch it, we'll be able to take the boat back today."
Shark meat contains certain toxins, mainly trimethylamine N-oxide, which can affect the human nervous system. This substance can be dissipated by exposure to the sun or by fermentation, but this requires time.
It would be much easier to deal with this on shore than on a boat.
Unfortunately, the rat shark before him was quite vigilant and showed no interest in approaching the boat despite eating several fish heads.
However, to a big fellow weighing over a hundred kilograms, a few fish heads were just like something to pick teeth with. The sound of prey on the water's surface was undeniably tempting for it.
Seabirds might not be large, but they are delicious and plump, and difficult to catch, relying on luck and being a rare treat that sharks find hard to refuse.
Bi Fang felt the time was ripe and placed the spear with the fish head into the water, where the fishy smell gradually spread.
The Mouse Shark had already been attracted by the fish head, steadily approaching Bi Fang's direction. It was a temptation it couldn't resist, yet as it got near, it seemed to perceive something and turned away, once again distancing itself from the small boat.
The viewers were itching with anticipation as the plot's ups and downs tormented them.
Bi Fang didn't have many options in the sea, as he certainly couldn't outswim a shark; he could only wait patiently.
The small boat drifted upon the ocean while the blood from the fish head lured the shark closer to the trap with the help of the currents. After some time of hesitation, the shark finally couldn't resist the temptation and took the bait.
The Mouse Shark swam near the surface by the small boat, intending to feast on the piece of fish. In the moment it drew close to the vessel, Bi Fang fiercely swung his arm, casting a shadow.
A lasso suddenly tightened around the Mouse Shark's head!
Initially, the Mouse Shark didn't realize the problem, but once it was bounded by the rope, it immediately sensed something was wrong and struggled to break free, underestimating Bi Fang's strength!
Bi Fang crouched on the boat, pressing firmly against the hull.
His agile arms bulged with clearly defined muscles, and his boundless strength traveled down the rope to the depths of the ocean, creating surges of white foam as the shark flailed.
Bi Fang took quick breaths, and oxygen rapidly spread to his whole body through his bloodstream, energizing all his cells. The muscles around his waist flexed visibly, and his entire body tensed like a fully drawn bow. Under this concentrated effort, he actually managed to pull the shark out of the water!
This was a shark that weighed nearly a hundred kilograms!
The audience was shocked; a hundred kilograms would be difficult to lift even if it were lifeless, let alone a struggling shark.
In this way, even if the shark was the overlord of the sea, once completely out of the water, it could only be slaughtered at will.
[Master Fang! My male god!]
[That strength, show me more!]
[What kind of freak was that before?]
[The cunning Zero!]
[To be honest, I thought Master Fang was about to stab it to death with the spear]
[Me too]
But a shark is still a shark, almost the mightiest beast in the ocean.
This particular Mouse Shark wasn't large compared to its kin, and its weight also fell short of the anticipated hundred kilograms, by probably just over ninety.
If rated on the shark family tree, this shark would still be considered a teenager, but its strength was definitely stronger than a grown human's—much stronger!
Anyone who has fished knows that in water, a big fish weighing over a dozen kilograms can grapple with an adult, let alone a shark weighing more than ninety kilograms.
It was already Bi Fang's limit to be able to hoist it up even partially.
After several rounds of deadlock, the shark used its powerful strength to break free, and Bi Fang had to let go, allowing the shark to return to the water.
Did he fail?
The audience felt disappointed; it was not that Bi Fang never slipped up, but such occasions were rare, and seeing one was quite disheartening.
"Do you think I've failed?"
The audience was taken aback.
Wasn't he?
"I certainly haven't failed."
Bi Fang moved his somewhat sore wrists; just a few rounds of grappling had almost exhausted him.
He stretched out his hand, pointing towards the sea.
Only then did everyone notice a piece of driftwood left on the sea surface, spinning rapidly.
