Chapter 240: Change of Taste
Seabird!
Bifang held his breath, lowered his body, and stood as still as possible, fearing that any movement on his part would scare away this creature that suddenly broke in.
The program crew quickly landed all the drones and reduced the noise to a minimum to avoid affecting Bifang.
Even the audience slowed down their breathing, as if the seabird was standing right in front of them. Fewer people posted comments, and everyone remembered what Bifang had said before.
Since life rafts are a rare habitat, they are quite attractive.
It’s actually true!
The audience was very excited. Could they eat bird meat?
Bifang stared at the seabird intently. Unlike the audience, his mind was racing with thoughts and he was considering many more things.
The seabird's chest heaved violently, puffing up like a balloon, which meant that it had been flying for a long time and was very tired. When it finally saw the raft, it stopped even though there were people on it.
and……
Bifang took a deep breath and slowly moved his body to a more comfortable position. He wanted to say something to the audience, but was afraid of scaring the seabirds, so he had to lower his volume as much as possible.
"I said before..." Bifang uttered three words to test the seagull. He locked his eyes with the seagull and confirmed that it did not make any further move before continuing, "I said before that in bad weather, birds may be blown off their usual tracks and lose their way..."
"A few seabirds can sleep on the sea surface and fly more than 100 kilometers away from land. When they fly, most of them are far away from land before noon and return in the afternoon. So the continuous singing of birds is a blessing, indicating that land is not far away."
[But it seemed like there was only this one just now? ]
[Yes, it flew down from the sky. The shadow is very clear. There is only one]
【Have you ever seen a seagull falling from the sky? 】
“That’s right…”
That would be great, as it meant he was probably less than a hundred kilometers from the coast, although the ocean currents rarely exceeded 9 to 13 kilometers a day. But if the direction was right, he might be able to find the mainland before the challenge was over, which would obviously be a higher achievement.
Bifang is not content with just living a simple life for twenty-one days. He wants to find the mainland within twenty-one days and accomplish an even greater feat.
But the probability of this happening is very small at the moment...
Bifang took another breath, trying to reduce the vibration in his throat. "I also said that there was only one case, that is, this seagull was blown away by the wind and lost its way. This situation is also very common."
The audience suddenly remembered again that Bifang had indeed said this, but many people had forgotten it, or they had not watched that live broadcast at all and only entered the live broadcast room now.
After all, not everyone can watch the live broadcast every day. Many people will watch the edited version again after watching the live broadcast for a few days to make sure they have not missed anything.
[What should I do now? Eat the bird? This big bird must be liked by Lao Fang]
[It must be delicious]
[Pass it on: Fang Shen must like to eat big birds]
[Pass it on: Fang Shen likes to eat birds]
[Pass it on: Fang Shen eats birds]
[……? ]
Bifang withdrew his attention, stopped paying attention to the water friends' mischief, and began to think about how to catch the seagull.
It is a little difficult to catch seabirds resting on the boat, but not too difficult. When the bird boards the raft, remain quiet until it is completely settled, and you may happen to catch it.
Especially when the weather is bad and the birds are exhausted, the extremely tired seabirds will have a significant decrease in both physical strength and reaction ability.
But Bifang had a better way. He gently pulled the fishing line in his hand and dragged the fishhook to his side.
Fishhooks are good things. Theoretically, they can be used to catch anything, even seagulls, especially when Bifang has hung meat bait on the fishhooks.
A capelin, a favorite of seagulls.
It has been flying for so long and is so tired, it must be very hungry, right?
As long as you use fish as bait and let the seagull swallow it, the hook hidden in the fish body will penetrate its throat, and it won't be long before the seagull itself dies.
Although there were still fish fillets hanging on his rod, they were all dried and the smell was far less strong than the capelin in Bifang's hand. He believed that the seagull would choose the capelin.
Moreover, the fish fillets are hung on the pole, which is not as easy to get as the capelin lying directly on the ground.
The audience who saw Bifang's little action instantly understood what he wanted to do and were immediately excited. Fishing for birds? Who has done this before?
[Awesome! Lao Fang is no longer satisfied with fishing, he even wants to fish for birds. Does he really like to eat birds? ]
[Great! This time, they even eat birds. I haven’t eaten seagulls yet. I don’t know if they taste good.]
[Emmm, I've eaten it. To be honest, seagull is not very tasty... the meat tastes weird]
[Ah, there are all kinds of people in the live broadcast room]
Bifang grabbed the capelin and wanted to find an opportunity to throw it at the seagull's feet, but he was afraid of scaring the seagull and causing it to do something irrational.
"Although seagulls are messengers of the sea and a symbol of peace, they are actually well-known robbers who love to steal food and attack their own kind. So when we catch them, we have to be careful not to puncture the inflation valve. Although the inflation valve is very thick, this possibility does exist, and they may not eat the fish immediately. If the fishhook is dragged and the valve is punctured, it will also be a problem."
So powerful?
The audience was stunned, but after seeing Bifang standing on the raft, they quickly realized how wise it was for Fang Shen to decide to build a raft . No matter what the final result was, at least he would not fall into the sea without a boat.
The seagull's body creaked with each breath, and Bifang could clearly see its chest swell up rapidly with each rise and fall, like a balloon, as if it would explode if stabbed.
At this time, the seagull was staring at the sea, and one of its eyes on the side was staring at Bifang. Bifang did not act rashly, but waited quietly for the seagull to turn its head, just like when he was fishing.
Many viewers became anxious, because as time passed, they could clearly see that the rise and fall of the seagull's chest became smaller, and they were afraid that it would escape after recovering its strength.
But after waiting for a few more minutes, the seagull did not run away, but instead turned its gaze to the other side.
Good opportunity!
Bifang did not hesitate and immediately threw the capelin in his hand out horizontally, using all the strength of his wrist to lower the vertical height as much as possible to avoid making too loud a sound when it fell.
The fish was thrown two meters high and landed directly on the edge of the life raft. The slippery mucus caused the capelin to fall along the edge of the life raft. Fortunately, it did not fall into the sea, but fell onto the raft, making a very slight sound.
The seagull was attracted by the sound. It looked down and saw the capelin at its feet .
food?
The seagull was stunned, not understanding why a fish suddenly appeared next to it. However, Bifang's guess was correct. The long journey had indeed made the seagull tired and hungry. Seeing the food right at its feet, it just took a look and moved forward, lowered its head and pecked at it, then picked up the capelin in one bite and was about to swallow it into its stomach.
Success!
Bifang was very excited, but he was still not in a hurry. Instead, he watched the seagull swallow the whole fish. After confirming that the entire fish hook had been swallowed by the seagull, he pounced forward!
The obvious action made the seagull instantly alert, and it subconsciously wanted to spread its wings and escape, but the distance between the two was too close. Before it could take off, it was instantly pounced on by the Bifang and grabbed its feet, so that even the prepared fishhook was useless.
The seagull that was suddenly caught immediately wanted to resist. It pecked fiercely at the big hand on its leg, but before it could peck, the bird was thrown up by Bifang.
Under the huge centrifugal force, the seagull had no chance to launch another attack.
Bifang immediately threw it onto the raft, stepped on the seagull's neck and broke it with force.
With a slight sound of fracture, the seabird was still performing reflex activities, but it had completely lost the ability to struggle.
"call!"
Looking at the seagull's gradually weakening breath, Bifang let out a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that after living on the sea for so many days and eating so many fish, he could actually change his taste.
Taking out an obsidian dagger, Bifang smiled.
