Chapter 766 Catching Sharks
Drone taking aerial photos from high altitude.
The vast sun rose from the sea, and the whole sea was sparkling as if it was covered with broken diamonds. The temperature in the air gradually rose, and the slight heat dispelled the chill brought by the night.
A heat rose in his chest , Bifang put down the oars in his hand, took a break, and stretched his wrists.
He took off his clothes, wrapped them in cut canvas, and then wrapped them in a layer of clean plastic film picked up on the island, and stuffed them into the hollow part under the bow of the Viking to prevent them from getting wet.
The weather in the Southern Hemisphere in April and even May will be like the weather in the Northern Hemisphere from September to October, with sultry days and a hint of chill at night.
At this time, we were already some distance away from Easter Island, and when we looked back we could only see a blurry dot.
Bifang stood up from the Viking and walked to the platform connected to the aircraft carrier. He opened the shellfish he had collected on Easter Island these days, scraped off the tender white meat with an obsidian dagger, ate some for breakfast to replenish his energy, and then took out a small fish from a bark frame nearby.
The two fish were still alive and in good condition. They were jumping around when they were held in the hands. But the next second, they were twisted off the head by a pair of big hands, and their heads and bodies were separated.
The internal organs were squeezed out from the fracture and thrown into the ocean.
A strong smell of blood filled the air and two clouds of blood mist burst out from the azure ocean. They gradually spread and faded away with the movement of ocean currents.
The fish body was crushed into meat scraps by the stones and thrown into the sea again, leaving only two fish heads.
Bifang tied one of the fish heads to the spear with a thin line, hung the other on the fishhook, tied it to the bow and let it hang down. Then he washed the blood off his hands with sea water, grabbed the spear beside him, and another strangely shaped "tool".
The reason why the shape is strange is that this tool looks very much like a rattle.
Many coconut shells that were split in half were strung together on a thick plant rhizome. Bifang had dealt with palm trees the most in the past two days. Many viewers also noticed that this might be the thickest central rhizome on the palm leaves. The rhizome was circled and strung with coconut shells.
"This thing is called a coconut drum." Bifang shook the "rattle" in his hand, and the coconut shells collided, making dense and dull sounds. He then put it into the sea and shook it continuously.
"By hitting the water surface with a coconut shell drum, you can simulate the sound of a seabird struggling and flapping its wings after falling into the sea. Sharks are extremely sensitive to this low-frequency sound and can sense this irregular sound from hundreds of meters away, which makes them believe that there is potential prey here."
[Emm, why do we need to attract sharks? It can’t be what I thought…]
【It's what you think】
[I can’t think of anything else except that.]
[What is it? ]
[Do you really want to catch sharks? ]
【Last time, didn’t Lao Fang say that shark meat is not tasty? Because shark meat has no urinary system and urinates through the skin, all meat has a urine smell.】
"That's right. Although shark meat is not tasty and is somewhat poisonous, sharks are the best choice if you want to catch enough prey in a short period of time."
Most sharks weigh at least 100 kilograms. If they are handled well, there is no problem eating them for three or four weeks. 100 kilograms is even a minimum estimate, and 100 kilograms is also common. It is very likely that one shark can provide enough food resources.
Compared to other fish of the same size, sharks are undoubtedly the most widely distributed and the most attractive. Their extremely powerful ability to catch prey is also a fatal factor that attracts them to the bait.
As for whether it tastes bad or not, for survival, it is definitely the last factor to be considered.
Of course , after attracting them, whether you can defeat them unarmed is another matter.
It's really good for catching sharks!
The audience was shocked. They originally thought that this time Bifang went out to sea just to fish and collect enough food resources for going out to sea. They never expected that Bifang's target was actually sharks!
[This operation is too cool]
[Is this the Fearless Warrior? ]
[The jungler hero started his jungle work again today]
【rush!】
Shaking the rattle in his hand, Bifang kept his eyes fixed on the movements underwater.
"This trick was actually created by the Melanesians, the tribe whose rite of passage is to catch sharks, as I mentioned before."
"Melanesians are a large group that includes Solomons, Vanuatu, Fijians and tribal people in Papua New Guinea."
"They are born with dark skin, curly hair, broad faces and noses, they worship totems and are superstitious about feudalism, their groups are mainly tribal clans, and their society is in the stage of disintegration of the primitive communal system, so Melanesians are often mistaken for Africans."
"So in Greek, Melanesia is also called the Island of Black People."
"But it's actually much more ferocious than Africa. Living in the depths of the South Pacific, life is closely related to nature. Most of the food of the locals comes from the ocean. They are natural ocean hunters. Even sharks, the overlords of the ocean, are part of their food."
Human wisdom and courage are worthy of admiration .
Any ethnic group that has lived in a certain place for thousands of years will always be able to come up with some incredible ways of survival.
This is true of the polar regions, virgin forests, deserts, oceans, Inuit, Amazonians, Berbers, and Melanesians.
Each type of landform can stimulate the local humans to develop extreme survival abilities, and even lead to a certain kind of alienation.
The eyesight of the Maasai, the lung capacity of the Sherpa, the large spleen of the Bajau...
Survive.
As Bifang experienced more and more dangerous situations and witnessed more and more desperate situations, these two words became more and more important in his heart.
So-called survival is not just about enduring hunger, relying on one's physical fitness, or just eating some appalling things.
Not all survival requires confrontation, relying on powerful fighting methods to hunt wild beasts and plunder resources.
The beasts will eventually be killed, or they will eventually fail; the resources will eventually be depleted.
Only by integrating, blending, experiencing and adapting to the environment can we learn the true way to survive.
The drum hit the water, creating white foam.
The water here is almost unpolluted, and if it weren't for the reflection, you could even see the scenery dozens of meters underwater.
Imagining the shark attacking, many viewers in the live broadcast room couldn't help but hold their breath.
There was total silence between heaven and earth, with only the sound of coconut shells mixed with the splashing of sea water.
No one knows whether the shark fin will appear in the next moment.
