Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness-Chapter 769 - 766 Capturing the Shark

```

The drone filmed from high above.

The vast sunrise ascended from the sea, illuminating the entire ocean with a glittering shine, as if sprinkled with crushed diamonds. The temperature in the air gradually rose, and a growing heat dispelled the cold brought by the night,

a rush of warmth surged within his chest. Bi Fang put down his oar to rest, flexing his wrists.

He took off his clothes, wrapped them in a piece of cut canvas, then added another layer of clean, washed plastic film he had picked up on the island, and stuffed them into the hollow part beneath the bow of the Viking, to prevent them from getting wet.

The weather in the Southern Hemisphere in April or even May was just like this, much like September to October in the Northern Hemisphere—hot during the day and slightly chilly at night.

By now he had already traveled some distance from Easter Island; looking back, he could only see a vague speck.

Bi Fang stood up from the Viking, moved onto the platform connected to the aircraft carrier, opened the shellfish he had collected on Easter Island in the last few days, and scraped off the tender white flesh with an obsidian dagger, eating some as breakfast to replenish his strength. He then scooped out a small fish from the bark box beside him.

The two fish were still alive and in quite good condition, frisking about in his hands, but in the next second, they were swiftly beheaded by a pair of large hands.

Their guts were squeezed out through the severed ends and cast into the ocean.

A strong stench of blood diffused into the air, and two clouds of blood burst into the azure sea, gradually spreading toward the distance with the ocean currents, diluting over time.

The fish bodies were crushed into mere pulp by a stone, and thrown back into the sea, leaving only two fish heads remaining.

Bi Fang tied one of the fish heads onto a spear with a thin line, and hung the other on a fishhook, dangling it from the bow. He then rinsed the blood off his hands with seawater, picked up the spear, and another strangely-shaped "tool".

The reason it was considered strange-looking was that it resembled a rattle.

Many halved coconut shells were strung together on a thick plant rhizome. In the past few days, Bi Fang had had the most interaction with palm trees, and many viewers had noticed that this might be the thickest central rootstalk from the palm leaves. The rootstalk, formed into a circle with coconut shells strung on it, was called a "coconut drum".

"This thing is called a coconut drum," Bi Fang shook the "rattle", the coconut shells colliding to produce a dense and dull noise, and then submerged it into the sea, shaking it continuously.

"Striking the surface of the water with a drum made from coconut shells can simulate the sound of a seabird thrashing about and flapping its wings after falling into the sea. Sharks are extremely sensitive to such low-frequency sounds and can sense these irregular noises from hundreds of meters away, convincing them that potential prey is nearby."

[Emmm, why attract sharks, it isn't what I'm thinking, right?]

[It's exactly what you're thinking.]

[Apart from that, I can't think of any other reason.]

[What exactly is it then?]

[Is he really going to catch sharks?]

[Didn't Old Fang say last time that shark meat doesn't taste good, because they don't have a urinary system and urinate through their skin, giving all the meat a urine smell?]

"That's right, although shark meat isn't tasty and can even be somewhat toxic, sharks are the unequivocal choice if you want to catch enough prey in a short period," he confirmed.

The majority of sharks weigh at least a hundred pounds. If handled properly, they could provide food for three to four weeks with no problem. A hundred pounds is a conservative estimate; it is very common to find sharks weighing a hundred kilograms, making it very possible to accumulate enough food resources with just one catch.

Compared to other fish of the same size, sharks undeniably have the widest distribution and are the easiest to attract. Their extremely strong ability to capture prey is also the fatal factor that leads them onto the hook.

As for whether it tastes good or not, for survival, that is definitely the last factor to be considered.

Of course, after luring them in, the question of whether you can actually defeat them without any weapons is another matter.

He was indeed going to catch sharks!

The audience was taken aback; they thought that this time, Bi Fang's journey to sea was just a simple fishing trip to gather enough food resources for the voyage. They never imagined that Bi Fang's target would actually be sharks!

[This move, it's slick!]

[Is this the fearless warrior?]

[The jungle hero starts his jungle runs again today]

[Charge!]

Shaking the rattle in his hand, Bi Fang's eyes were tightly fixed on the movements beneath the water.

"This technique was actually created by the Melanesians, which is the tribe I mentioned before that catches sharks as a rite of passage," Bi Fang explained.

"The Melanesians are a large group that includes the Solomon Islanders, Vanuatu Islanders, Fijians, and the tribal people of Papua New Guinea, all falling under this category."

"They have naturally dark skin, curly hair, broad faces, and wide noses, worship totems, and are superstitious and feudal; their society is primarily tribal and clan-based, at a stage of disintegration of the primitive communal system, so Melanesians are often mistaken for Africans."

"Thus, in Greek, Melanesia is also called the Island of Black People."

"But that place is far more fearsome than Africa, lying deep within the South Pacific, where life is closely intertwined with nature. The diet of the locals mainly comes from the sea, and they're born ocean hunters. Even sharks, the sovereigns of the sea, are part of their diet."

The wisdom and courage of humans are admirable.

Any race that has lived in a certain area for thousands of years will inevitably devise some incredible survival methods.

The Polar Regions, Primeval Forest, desert, ocean, Inuit people, Amazonians, Berbers, Melanesians all do this.

Each type of terrain can spur local humans into developing extreme survival capabilities, and sometimes even cause some form of mutation.

The eyesight of the Maasai People, the lung capacity of the Sherpa people, the enlarged spleens of the Bajau people...

Survival.

As Bi Fang encountered more and more dangerous situations and witnessed more and more desperate places, this word gained more and more weight in his heart.

The so-called survival isn't just about enduring hunger, nor is it simply about eating some horrifying things relying on one's physical constitution.

Not all survival necessarily involves confrontation, relying on powerful combat skills to hunt fierce beasts and plunder resources.

Fierce beasts will eventually all be killed, there will also be times when one falters, and resources will one day be depleted.

Only by integrating, melding, experiencing, and adapting to the environment can one learn the true path to survival.

The rattle slapped the water's surface, causing white froth to arise.

The water here is almost unpolluted; were it not for the reflections, one might even see several tens of meters beneath the water.

Imagining the sharks' attack, many viewers in the live stream couldn't help but hold their breath.

All around was silent; nothing could be heard but the splashing of coconut shells mixed with seawater.

No one knew when the shark fins would appear next.
