Chapter 542: Three-way Fight
Bifang took a deep breath and dived down.
The moment it enters the water, Bifang's heart rate instantly drops from 60-70 beats per minute to 30-40 beats per minute, and blood vessels throughout the body are stimulated to contract.
He could clearly feel the blood leaving his limbs and flowing to his heart, lungs, and brain.
The feeling was like being lost in a certain space. I couldn't tell which direction the water surface was in. It was as if I was Armstrong landing on the moon.
Without the light of flashlights and diving companions, the seabed seemed even darker and quieter.
There is pitch-black sea water all around, and I have no idea what lies in the unknown darkness. It is as if the loneliness of being on an alien planet surrounds my soul.
That is why, most underwater operations are carried out with two people.
Loneliness can drive people crazy.
Bifang was very accepting of the eternal loneliness. He experienced a long period of solitary journey in various wildernesses.
Some say that being an industrial saturation diver is the loneliest job in the world.
The requirements for this job are simple: install an underwater oil drill in the cold sea water hundreds of meters deep.
In this dark world where the sun cannot reach, we can only see everything around us with the help of artificial lights.
At a depth of hundreds of meters , divers need to rely on a set of extremely complex and sophisticated equipment to stay alive.
There is a tube on the diving suit that is less than the thickness of a wrist and is connected to the diving bell. The breathing oxygen, the electricity needed for the inflatable diving suit, and the communication line with the surface are all provided through this tube.
It is called the "umbilical cord".
But at this time, Bifang had no "umbilical cord" and no helping hands. The only things that could help him were the oxygen tank behind him and the sharp harpoon in his hand.
Bifang carefully groped his way down the rock wall; he could not float in the water alone.
The speed of the Niugang trevally was so fast that even if Bifang could predict it in advance, the huge water resistance would make it difficult for him to avoid it in time, and he had to rely on the reaction force of the rock wall.
Ten meters, twenty meters, and soon, Bifang arrived at the place where he first encountered the Niugang trevally.
Bifang could clearly feel that the expansion of his lungs was becoming increasingly difficult.
An invisible big hand tried to squeeze all the air out of Bifang's body. Bifang suppressed the urge to exhale and locked the oxygen tightly in his body.
Every breath is a fight against an invisible hand, a fight against a water buffalo, and no negligence can be allowed.
If it were someone else, their heart would have been filled with fear, let alone taking up arms to fight.
All fear comes from the unknown.
Accept what you know or resist it.
We are only afraid of the unknown, especially the unknown that may cause harm to ourselves.
Don't be afraid of wild animals. When you confront them, they are observing you. If you are afraid, they will know that you are guilty and will follow you and bite you.
The beast can smell your fear, and the more afraid you are, the more excited he becomes.
The figure of the professor who once told Bifang this truth and has benefited from it to this day appeared again, but at that time he also said something else, which was a more profound thought.
What is fear?
Is it essentially an unknown?
The reason why a person develops fear is, firstly, that he does not think deeply enough, so as not to see through the essence of the thing that causes him fear; secondly, that he is unable to maintain continuous and effective thinking activities.
Among them, the process of seeing through the essence of things is the process of turning the unknown into the known.
For the same thing, you see through its essence at a certain moment, but when you practice it the next moment, the level of thinking activity decreases, and the thinking processing that sees through the essence of things is not maintained for a long time, so that a sense of fear arises in the process of practicing the established method.
There are two kinds of people who have little fear: one is a fool, and the other is a man of action.
A fool does not have too many thoughts in his mind, so he is not afraid of most things.
A practical person bases himself on himself, thinks and practices to the best of his ability. If there is an unknown, he will try his best to turn it into a known thing, and think of all countermeasures in time, so he is fearless.
What I fear most are the ordinary people between these two.
They have a certain level of thinking ability, but find it difficult to think deeply and continuously. Where their thinking is insufficient, fear arises.
People have a natural fear of unknown things. Maybe it's animal instinct, or maybe there are other deep reasons. But this fear of the unknown seriously blocks a person's execution ability, seriously hinders the accumulation of "confidence", and thus seriously erodes the passion for ideological advancement.
To this end, there are also two ways to overcome fear.
First, increase the rate of proactive thinking, even if the initial stages are painful.
Second, in places where active thinking has not yet been formed, try to form clear images as much as possible. With the help of language and words, you can at least be able to make a clear description of anything in your consciousness.
As he said this, the professor looked directly at the slightly immature Bifang standing in the forest, and waved his hand to knock a poisonous snake off a branch. He was obviously old and weak, but when the poisonous snake bared its fangs, there was no fear in his eyes.
"I know the venomous snake's venom release mechanism, its inner fear, how to deal with poisoning, its behavioral habits, when it will curl up to attack, how it will attack, how to avoid it, and I even know how every muscle of its is used."
"So, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. If you are afraid, it means you don't know enough." The professor pressed down the snake's neck and extracted the venom skillfully.
"So what should I do now?" Bifang asked.
"Go and see, learn, practice, travel around the world, and understand everything," the professor replied.
The moment any unknown becomes known, fear disappears without a trace and one can only seek another unknown.
Hardworking people are often brave because they will continue to do their best to understand everything around them and continue to do their best to turn the unknown into known.
Bifang knew everything about the bay, the creatures that existed here, the terrain here, the habits of the Niugang trevally, its attack methods, and its weaknesses.
At this time Bifang was not afraid at all. He held on to the rock wall and sank again.
Within a circle with a radius of nearly fifteen meters, Bifang can clearly perceive everything, including the small fish hidden in the cracks of the rock walls, the floating seaweed, and the slowly moving crustaceans.
But that huge figure never appeared.
In the darkness, the Niugang trevally did not leave. It swam quickly in the water. Its flat body contained extremely explosive muscle bundles, which were the key to its speed of reaching 60 kilometers per hour.
When it followed the oxygen tank towards the flashlight and launched an attack, the small brain of the Niugang trevally finally realized that it had been deceived.
It swam back to the waters quickly, but when the Niugang trevally found its target again, it found that he was different from before.
It's not the difference of two becoming one, but there is a sense of danger.
The sense of crisis that animals develop in daily fights is much stronger than that of humans. As soon as the Niugang croaker saw the enemy, its brain consciousness, which had been trained in long-term fighting, issued a warning that what was in front of it was not food that could be attacked, but a ferocious beast.
But on the other hand, its genetic instinct tells it to charge ahead, to crash ahead, because it is the overlord of the water and all creatures are afraid of it...
Once the impulse emerges, it is difficult to control.
The powerful fish tail stirred the water, and the huge reaction force pushed on the fish. The Niugang trevally, which had been accumulating strength for a long time, suddenly rushed towards Bifang!
Here we come!
Almost the moment the Niugang trevally rushed into the fifteen-meter range, Bi Fang immediately sensed its presence.
Fast, too fast.
Sixty kilometers per hour means that the speed of the Niugang trevally exceeds sixteen point six meters per second, and a distance of fifteen meters can be covered in only 0.9 seconds!
The normal reaction speed of a person is around 300 milliseconds, which will decrease after the age of 30.
After specific training, athletes can shorten their reaction speed to specific stimuli, such as the starting gun, to 150-180 milliseconds. The current scientific consensus is that the limit of human reaction speed is 100 milliseconds.
In a running competition, if the reaction time from the sounding of the starting gun to the start of the race is shorter than 100ms, or 0.1s, it will be considered a false start!
Bifang reacted very quickly. The panel that was close to that of a professional athlete allowed his reaction speed to be suppressed to less than 200 milliseconds. But even so, he only had seven milliseconds to act!
With its back against the rock wall, Bifang pushed itself to the side, causing gravel to fly everywhere.
The rock walls on the seabed are very loose, like large pieces of crusted sandstone. If they are hit hard, they will break into pieces on a large scale, stirring up a large amount of mud and sand on the seabed.
It was just dark at this time, so it didn't matter how much mud and sand there was.
Bifang floated to one side against the current. Being in the sea, his legs had no leverage. He twisted his waist, and the core strength was transferred to his upper arms along his muscles and bones, and finally wandered on the long pole.
A huge thrust acted on the pole, and the sharp harpoon pierced the water flow, forcing out a large number of bubbles in the sea water, drawing a straight white line and stabbing towards the Niugang trevally.
White waves, gray-black mud, and bright red blood.
Everything was buried under the dark seabed, and no one could see the distinct three colors.
I was slowing down Mandy before, and now that there are no more restraints, with Bifang's skills and sense of timing, the probability of failure is extremely small!
Bifang held the spear with both hands and pulled it out quickly without turning or twisting it.
The Niugang bison is extremely powerful. If it is not pulled out in time, once the buffalo starts to struggle, Bifang will most likely not be able to hold the spear in his hand, and may even bend the spear handle, breaking the spear and injuring himself.
A puff of blood was brought out as the harpoon was pulled out, and the bleeding did not stop. This was the unique effect caused by the blood groove of the harpoon.
In comparison, the hundred-fold tempered steel forged by Bifang in the wilderness is not worth mentioning. Not only is it not advantageous in appearance, it is also not corrosion-resistant. It must be wiped clean quickly if it is stained with blood, not to mention being soaked in sea water.
The development of human technology is no joke. No so-called "magic weapon" from ancient times can compare with the tactical daggers produced by modern industry.
The spear that Bifang just threw almost pierced through the Niugang croaker's lower abdomen!
After a successful attack, Bifang quickly left the scene. As expected, this swift blow successfully angered the Niugang trevally. It rammed its head into the rock wall and swung its body like crazy. A large number of rocks fell off and sank to the bottom of the abyss.
Without even gathering any strength, he rushed towards Bifang again.
Without the leverage of the rock wall, the Niugang trevally could not sprint in a straight line. Bifang twisted his body, barely missed the attack, and quickly moved closer to the rock wall.
Underwater, human swimming skills can never compare to those of fish. This is the absolute gap caused by body structure!
This guy's head was extremely hard, and Bifang even doubted whether his harpoon could be inserted into it. Moreover, the back of his head was strongly curved, and the abdomen of his head was almost a straight line. It had a linear explosive force that was unimaginable for humans. It would definitely be uncomfortable to be hit directly by it.
Broken ribs are not impossible, and Bifang must be very careful when fighting against Niugangyu. He is like a bullfighter fighting with a Spanish bison in the Colosseum.
Taking advantage of the brief peak, Bifang inflated his lungs to expel the waste gas, bit the breathing valve and took a deep breath, and large bubbles filled with carbon dioxide floated upwards.
The Niugang trevally, which had failed many times in a row, was completely filled with anger. It drew a huge arc in the sea and attacked Bifang again. The sea water was pushed away from both sides of its streamlined body, and it was like a giant crossbow in the sea.
Bifang leaned against the rock wall, preparing to repeat his old trick, when suddenly, an accident happened.
A huge streamlined creature suddenly broke into the huge semicircular perception circle!
Is it the second Niugang trevally! ?
There was no time for him to think, and Bifang subconsciously thought that this was an accomplice of the Niugang trevally who liked group hunting. He did not bother to fight back, and pushed the rock wall to float upwards. However, the next moment after he acted, Bifang realized that he had guessed wrong.
The streamlined creature that broke in actually charged straight towards the round-headed trevally!
Faster and more powerful!
The Niugang croaker was caught off guard and was instantly knocked over by the sudden appearance of the third party. It deviated from its original trajectory and disappeared directly into the induction circle of Bifang.
What's going on?
The Niugang trevally started fighting among themselves?
Bifang stopped and started sensing again with doubt in his eyes. He found that the body shape of the second streamlined creature was completely different from that of the Niugang trevally. It was longer and thinner, and it had a long snout instead of a blunt snout.
Such a familiar shape...
Dolphins, they are actually dolphins! ?
Bifang's eyes hidden in the goggles suddenly widened. Was it a dolphin that saved him just now?
Yes, although the dolphin catching season has not yet begun, it does not mean that dolphins have not arrived. In recent days, dolphins have appeared in the bay one after another, but they have not formed large groups.
The Niugang trevally that was knocked away adjusted its body shape and reacted quickly. Instead of retreating, it fought with the dolphin that broke into the battlefield.
In Bifang's perception, these two swift and fierce fish appeared and disappeared from time to time, and the battle was extremely fierce.
The dolphin is different from Bifang in that it takes the initiative to attack, just like the Niugang trevally!
Bifang was sure that Niugang trevally was not on the dolphin's menu, and that this dolphin was helping him!
Will dolphins save people?
If someone asks this question, Bifang will give him an affirmative answer without hesitation.
meeting!
And it is a conscious effort to save people.
Perhaps Mandy, who is still on the shore, has the most say in this regard, because he has also been rescued by dolphins. For this reason, after being invited by Richard, Mandy, as a diving champion, agreed without hesitation.
Even if it is a dangerous place!
