Reborn as a Sea King in Tokyo Fishing Village

Chapter 32: Shark Hunting Made Easy

Yukiko Nakamori also noticed it and quickly moved the fishing boat around it.

Ji Chang activated his perception and immediately sensed that there were 9 divers in the sea.

They were fishing for abalone in the sea and had no idea that danger was approaching.

"Shark, Anisan, there's a shark."

Yukiko Nakamori quickly turned off the engine and shouted loudly.

Ji Chang naturally saw it as well. He took off his clothes and pants and picked up the harpoon on the deck.

Yukiko Nakamori and Rika Kurosawa rushed out of the cabin.

"Take the oars and row over."

Sharks are the number one danger for Ama. Originally, Ama would leave someone on the boat to check the conditions in the sea when they went out to sea.

When there is danger, use the blood of live fish to lure away sharks.

Then they pulled up the ropes tied around their waists to help them quickly float up and out of the sea.

In the past, it was usually the haenyeo's husband who was responsible for staying on the boat.

The sea is very dangerous, and you will always encounter various dangers during diving and collecting seafood.

There are carnivorous fish in the sea, as well as some large fish, some poisonous sea snakes and some fish.

Sometimes they may encounter electric eels or other fish with electricity, which can also kill the divers.

Therefore, the female divers go into the sea in groups because they need to look after each other.

They mainly collect plant and animal products from the shallow seas, but because valuable seafood is scarce, many haenyeo venture into the deep sea.

Among the seafood collected by the Ama women, there are two types that are the most valuable, one is pearl oyster and the other is abalone.

Pearls are relatively precious. If a female diver can collect a large, round pearl with few flaws, it is very likely that she will not need to carry out dangerous fishing work for a whole month.

Now that there are sharks on the sea, it is not easy for Ji Chang to go into the water and climb onto their fishing boat.

They could only slowly approach and use a harpoon to pull the rope tied to the boat to alert the female divers on the seabed.

Also, you can harpoon the shark if you have the chance.

There are still people who buy sharks, and the price of shark fins is not cheap.

Shark meat is also eaten and is quite popular nowadays.

After all, big sharks weigh four or five hundred kilograms, and the big ones can even weigh over a thousand kilograms.

When food is scarce, shark is definitely a good food that is both good quality and cheap.

However, because the equipment is not advanced enough, it is not easy to hunt sharks, so there are very few fishermen who specialize in hunting sharks.

Ji Chang was always aware of the situation in the water to prevent other sharks from appearing in the water.

The shark was chasing a school of snappers and seemed to have not yet noticed the female divers diving for abalone.

Kurosawa Rika and Nakamori Yukiko were paddling frantically to get the fishing boat closer to the Ama's boat.

At this moment, the sea breams began to dive and headed straight for the divers.

"Anisan, what should we do?"

"The shark has gone down. Will the female divers be attacked by the shark?"

Yukiko Nakamori looked at the sea with a worried look on her face, her lips turning a little pale.

Ji Chang hesitated for a moment, then used the harpoon to cut the palm of his hand.

The smell of blood can attract sharks, and Ji Chang hopes to attract it over.

Then, Ji Chang put his hand into the water and shook it to speed up the spreading of the blood.

There was a pain in the palm of his hand, but Ji Chang didn't care.

Contact with sea water will improve your perception ability.

Ji Chang discovered that the female divers had begun to surface, but they still hadn't noticed that the sharks were being led towards them by the sea bream.

When the Ama surface, it means their work is finished and they must surface to breathe.

Generally speaking, a female ama can hold her breath in the sea for two to three minutes.

"Stop rowing! Stop the boat!"

Ji Chang shouted, stirring the sea water to speed up the blood flow. "Come on, shark, come at me!"

As the blood spread, the shark seemed to smell blood.

The shark chasing the snapper suddenly turned around and swam towards Ji Chang.

Obviously, it was attracted by Ji Chang's smell of blood.

Seeing that it was working, Ji Chang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

A small injury can attract sharks, which is still a good deal.

However, what surprised him was that the pain in the palm of his hand was weakening.

The distance was still quite far, and Ji Chang continued to stir the sea water to allow the blood to spread out.

Through his perception, Ji Chang discovered that some of the divers had discovered the shark and were speeding up to float up.

As the shark got closer, Ji Chang pulled his hand, which was no longer able to feel any pain, out of the sea water, and then clenched the harpoon in his hand.

The shark's dorsal fin reappeared on the sea surface and rushed towards the fishing boat.

Then, Ji Chang fiercely stabbed the harpoon in his hand into the shark's body.

Under the influence of the huge force, the harpoon went straight through the shark's body.

Ji Chang was stunned for a moment.

Because it’s too simple.

The shark twisted its body frantically, trying to escape.

The blood instantly dyed the sea red, and the water surface made a gurgling sound.

The shark's tail slapped the water, splashing blood.

Kurosawa Rika and Nakamori Yukiko rushed over with oars and smashed the sharks.

Ji Chang directly picked up the harpoon in his hand and pulled the shark out of the water.

Because the harpoon pierced its body, the shark was unable to break free and twisted back and forth in the air.

The female divers emerged from the water one after another and climbed into their own boats.

When they saw Ji Chang lift the shark weighing several hundred kilograms out of the water, everyone's eyes widened.

"Put the rope around the shark's tail." Ji Chang reminded.

The shark won't die immediately, so it needs to be tied up to prevent it from escaping.

A tiger shark weighing five or six hundred kilograms can be sold for at least seventy or eighty yuan!
How could Ji Chang let his money slip away!
Yukiko Nakamori reacted immediately and made a simple noose with a hemp rope.

"Wake it up for me!"

Ji Chang exerted force and moved the shark towards the edge of the fishing boat so that Yukiko Nakamori could lasso its tail.

"It's on. I've put it on tight."

Yukiko Nakamori tightened the noose and firmly caught the shark's tail.

"Well done, you two, hold on, don't get dragged down."

Ji Chang put down the harpoon and let the shark's entire body return to the sea.

Then he pulled out his harpoon and prepared to strike the shark in the head and kill it.

A shark this big cannot be placed in the live water tank, so it can only be placed on the deck, so it must be killed before being pulled up.

Otherwise, it will bite people even if they are on the boat.

Pulling out the harpoon, Ji Chang stabbed it hard into the shark's head.

Without any surprise, the harpoon went straight through the shark's head.

Yukiko Nakamori, Rika Kurosawa, and the female divers not far from them all widened their eyes.

This power was so strong that they had never seen anyone so fierce and possessing such great power.

Even the strongest man in the island nation might not be able to do it so easily.

They were all curious, if Ji Chang could hold them all night long, would they be able to stay up all night?

In that case, wouldn’t you die happily?
　Thank you for your reward for shining on the future!!
