Chapter 234 -202 Jiang Luoluo Loses a Small Pearl

“Don’t worry, if the boat capsizes, I’ll cut the line. Luoluo, bring me the diving knife and the speargun. I’ve already fought with this fish to this extent; I definitely won’t give up so easily.”

In that moment, Chu Mingcheng was a true fisherman.

Jiang Luoluo stared at him for a while and, seeing he had no intention of compromising, could only let out a helpless sigh, “I really can’t do anything with you.”

As a girlfriend, it was natural to worry, but Chu Mingcheng’s repeated successes had earned her basic trust.

The fish was already hooked; to give up now would be regrettable for her as well.

In the end, she had no choice but to help bring over the diving knife and the speargun, placing them on the rubber dinghy, then repeatedly instructed him to be careful.

Of course, there was also a compass, in case Chu Mingcheng was dragged too far by the fish and couldn’t find his bearings.

With everything ready, Chu Mingcheng quickly took the fishing rod and jumped onto the rubber dinghy while the fish was still resting and not exerting any strength.

Once he was seated in the rubber dinghy, the fish remained at rest.

It seemed that after the boat had slowed down, the fish found pulling the boat to be quite exhausting.

So Chu Mingcheng sat there, reeling in the line, the rubber dinghy began to drift in the direction of the fish.

For more than a minute, he reeled in sixty meters of fishing line before the fish began to stir again.

Chu Mingcheng locked the drag and gripped the fishing rod tightly, while the rubber dinghy slowly started to pick up speed. There was no motor running; it was clearly the fish dragging him.

However, there was good news: just as he had predicted, although the fish was pulling the dinghy, it wasn’t moving as quickly as before.

In “The Old Man and the Sea,” the fisherman only needed a small skiff to catch a giant marlin, which meant that while these fish could swim fast, they found it difficult to move quickly while fighting against a fisherman’s boat.

Unfortunately, the rubber dinghy was too light; even with Chu Mingcheng’s weight added, it was not possible to quickly deplete the fish’s energy.

Therefore, Chu Mingcheng sat in the rubber dinghy, steadying his center of gravity to prevent the sudden turns of the fish from flipping him over, while he slowly reeled in the line. Occasionally, he would grab the rod and pull back vigorously, speeding up the exhaustion of the fish’s energy.

He even had the spare time to look back at the fishing boat, noting that he was getting farther from the boat. He began to try tilting the fishing rod slightly to the right.

Unexpectedly, the fish swam to the right, but because of the sudden change in direction, the left side of the rubber dinghy lifted sharply.

Frightened, Chu Mingcheng quickly shifted his entire body to the left to press the dinghy back down.

He personally felt the speed wasn’t very fast, but that was relative.

In reality, to Jiang Luoluo and the others, he was pulled quite a distance by the fish in just a short time. She estimated that in a few more minutes, she would need binoculars to see him.

Luckily, after repeatedly attempting to control the direction of the fish and balance the rubber dinghy, Chu Mingcheng finally got the hang of it after a while.

He tugged the rod to the left, but only slightly. The fish thrashed in pain and would unconsciously swim a bit to the left.

It didn’t have a set direction; at this moment, it only wanted to get rid of the foreign object in its mouth.

But as it moved slightly to the left, Chu Mingcheng would straighten the rod again, leaning his body to the right to steady the ascending dinghy and maintain its center of gravity. Surprisingly, it worked.

This way, he wouldn’t be dragged further away by the fish; instead, he managed to stay within the line of sight of the people on the fishing boat.

Jiang Luoluo, holding binoculars, breathed a sigh of relief seeing Chu Mingcheng not getting further away.

But this was just the beginning. Because the rubber dinghy was far from the boat, some of the fish’s direct force was dissipated, making it somewhat easier for Chu Mingcheng.

However, as he started to reel in the line and the distance between them narrowed, the situation became much more dangerous than in the beginning.

The rubber dinghy shook more violently, forcing Chu Mingcheng to expend more energy to control his balance.

Furthermore, gripping the fishing rod became increasingly strenuous as the fish’s strength transmitted clearly to his body.

Time slowly passed, and the sun climbed higher. For Chu Mingcheng, the only good news was that the temperature had risen slightly.

He didn’t know how much time had passed, maybe an hour or perhaps three.

Chu Mingcheng didn’t pay attention to the time; he only knew that he was now entering the final showdown because the fishing line had been reeled in to just fifty meters.

This distance was just enough to ensure his safety but also allowed him to fight the fish directly and deplete its energy.

At the moment, Chu Mingcheng was left with only ten conversions of ‘Life Transform.’ Throughout the reeling process, even with his current physique, he couldn’t withstand it and still used three ‘Life Transforms’ to ensure he had enough strength to deal with any emergencies.

Fishing for this caliber of fish is not something one person can handle. It’s usually done by several people taking turns.

Using only three ‘Life Transforms,’ he was already very strong.

Chu Mingcheng continued to tug at the fishing line when suddenly he felt it changing angles rapidly.

The next moment, about fifty meters in front of him, the water exploded as a sword leaped out of the water. Following that, a swordfish much larger than the rubber dinghy burst out from the surface.

It flailed its head in the air, trying to clean its gills, and seemed to be attempting to spit out the hook in its mouth.

The most thrilling moment when fishing for swordfish or flagfish is when the fish leaps and cleans its gills.

Chu Mingcheng, unlike the dazed crew on the boat, took advantage of the fish’s leap to yank the rod fiercely, almost lying down in the process.

The swordfish, which had leaped out of the water, was jerked back by this pull and landed on the water with a splash, causing a huge spray.

Chu Mingcheng had stopped at fifty meters precisely to anticipate the swordfish’s gill cleaning.

Fishing for this type of fish is very dangerous; if you are too close when they clean their gills, there’s a chance they could jump onboard.

If that happens, it’s easy to be impaled by their long bills, which can easily penetrate the hull of a boat.

If they impale a person, and it’s not a vital spot, then it’s months in the hospital.

If it hits a vital spot… then one must consider how many favors to call in for that funeral.

Fifty meters was just right. Even if the swordfish was incredibly fast, it couldn’t reach him in an instant during its gill cleaning.

Just like now, the swordfish that had leapt out of the water barely a moment ago leapt out again after just a few seconds. Although it was about five or six meters closer, it was still a safe distance away.

Those small boats targeting Marlins would tire them by dragging them, eventually pulling them to the side of the boat only when their strength was exhausted.

This was also true in the videos, with the Marlins being pulled to the side of the boat and barely moving, a sign that they had no energy left.

The swordfish cleaning its gills was also a sign that it was close to exhausting its strength, this was its final struggle.

Chu Mingcheng’s expression was exhilarated, it was finally time to reap the fruits of victory.

Not far away, on the fishing boat, Jiang Luoluo—who was recording with the camera—caught the smile on his face, which made her smile as well.

She understood that smile; it was the joy of victory within grasp, and she shared his happiness.

But the next moment, the smile on her face froze.

“Ah Cheng!”

With a cry of alarm, Jiang Luoluo set down the camera in great fear.

After being stunned for two seconds, she quickly ran into the cockpit and started the fishing boat, ready to head over.

Everyone on the boat panicked as well, because just then, the swordfish that had been gill-cleaning suddenly changed direction and charged straight at Chu Mingcheng.

Then, under everyone’s gaze, it broke through the rubber dinghy, and Chu Mingcheng was immediately knocked into the water.

Of course, that was just what everyone saw.

Because of the angle, it seemed as if Chu Mingcheng had been knocked off the boat.

But in reality, he was prepared at the moment the fish charged.

He had already put down the fishing rod, grabbed the harpoon, and flipped off the rubber dinghy.

It was only because the swordfish moved so fast that it looked as if he was knocked into the water.

Chu Mingcheng hadn’t expected the swordfish to fight back at the last moment and was caught off guard.

Luckily, his reflexes weren’t slow, and he jumped into the water in time to avoid injury from the swordfish.

After jumping into the water, his true combat ability came into play.

Hurriedly loading his harpoon, Chu Mingcheng swiftly chased down the swordfish and shot a harpoon at the long bill obscuring its vision and entangled with the rubber dinghy.

The swordfish’s head was completely wrapped by the rubber dinghy, totally unable to discern direction. Its movements were slow, and he easily caught up to it.

And this also gave Chu Mingcheng the perfect opportunity. He judged the position of the fish’s head by its long bill and aimed directly at its brain, firing a harpoon.

This was a fatal blow, and the blood immediately stained the seawater red.

Jiang Luoluo, who approached in the fishing boat, saw the blood spread across the surface of the water and thought it was Chu Mingcheng. Tears immediately began to fall in large drops.

Who knew that the next second, a surprising figure would emerge from the water.

Knowing that everyone was concerned for him and not even bothering to retrieve the fish, Chu Mingcheng quickly swam to the surface.

“Damn, Ah Cheng, my heart nearly leaped out of my chest!” Zhang Wei pounded his chest and let out a huge sigh of relief.

“Good, good, as long as you’re okay,” Chen Yang also breathed a sigh of relief; his heart had been in his throat a moment ago.

Zhou Jiayi didn’t speak, but her relaxed expression said it all.

At this point, Jiang Luoluo ran out of the cockpit, her face wet with tears, which made Chu Mingcheng pause in surprise.

Then, disregarding the retrieval of the fish and carrying his harpoon, he quickly swam to the boat.

Seeing him on the boat, Jiang Luoluo flung herself into his embrace.

Feeling her shaking all over and sobbing quietly in his arms, Chu Mingcheng held her tightly, not caring about the wetness on his body.

Jiang Luoluo needed to release her emotions at the moment, so he tossed the harpoon to Chen Yang, asking for help in retrieving the fish, and then he carried his girlfriend directly into the cockpit.

The others outside did not interfere but helped to retrieve the fish first.

Chu Mingcheng did not pay attention to this but sat on the couch, gently patting Jiang Luoluo’s back and speaking softly to comfort her.

His girlfriend was shedding precious tears for him, and of course, it was his duty to cheer her up.

However, Jiang Luoluo’s emotions had just exploded too intensely for a moment, causing her to lose control.

After a good while, her body stopped trembling.

The first thing she said was not blame, nor did she ask Chu Mingcheng to stop doing such dangerous things in the future.

With Jiang Luoluo’s intelligence, she would not threaten him by using herself to make him stop doing these things.

She just pouted a little: “You scared me to death!”

“My fault, my fault, I promise I won’t make you worry like this again,” Chu Mingcheng immediately took the blame and made a promise.

Jiang Luoluo shook her head, looked up at him, her reddened eyes pitiful, melting his heart.

“Don’t worry, if I really were gone, I would definitely remarry!”

“You better not be silly… Huh?”

Chu Mingcheng felt a heavy blow to his heart, his face turning green. Are you talking to me about remarrying with that pitiful look?

“I DEFINITELY won’t let this happen!”
