Chapter 825 - Shark!!!

“Why do you know everything?”

Seeing Fang Qiu catching the small fish skillfully, Liu Qingshi asked in surprise.

Fang Qiu smiled and said, “I have watched the show of wilderness survival before. These small fish can’t resist the tide, so it’s easy for them to be knocked out by the tide and pushed to the reef area. This kind of fish is simple to catch, but because small fish will consider the reef a dangerous area, few of them will come here. It’s lucky for us to find one.”

“You’re amazing!” Song Yaqi gazed at Fang Qiu, saying while her face was flushing.

Fang Qiu beamed.

He used the little fish as bait, strung it on his own hook, and was ready to fish.

“I still doubt it,” Liu Qingshi looked at Fang Qiu and said, “You’re not hooking it. It’s more like putting the hook into the belly of a small fish. How can you catch anything like that?”

“When big fish eat the small fish, they normally swallow it.”

Fang Qiu explained, “When they do that, they will also swallow the hook. By then, the big fish won’t be able to get away.”

Liu Qingshi patted his forehead, for he suddenly came to the realization!

As for Song Yaqi, she had been following Fang Qiu and watching how he was going to fish.

Fang Qiu walked to a beach where the water flowed relatively fast. Then he threw the hook with the bait into the sea and sat down on the beach. He gently pulled the fishing rod while waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Beside him, Liu Qingshi kept glancing at Fang Qiu.

Seeing that nothing was happening for a long time, he couldn’t help but ask, “Master Fang, I just want to ask, why didn’t you choose to dive into the sea and directly knock out the fish with Qigong? Why did you have to take all the trouble?”

Fang Qiu was speechless.

“As I said, it was a coincidence. A real coincidence!” said Fang Qiu with a serious face.

“All right, all right.”

Liu Qingshi nodded and waved his hand as he said, “I’ll just take what you said as true. Okay?”

“Don’t coax me. It’s indeed a coincidence!” Fang Qiu gave a wry smile.

The moment he finished speaking, the thread of the fishing rod tightened.

“A fish took the bait!” Fang Qiu felt a strong force coming from the other end of the fishing rod. He immediately rose to his feet and was ready to withdraw his rod.

Beside him, hearing Fang Qiu’s shout, Liu Qingshi and Song Yaqi staggered to their feet and stared at the water in excitement.

“Come on.” Fang Qiu didn’t have much fishing skill, so he simply pulled it directly with sheer force.

Given that he had seen such things on TV, this kind of fishing method didn’t require much strength to fight with the fish. Because once the fish was caught, the hook could stick into the fish’s internal organs. Therefore, he only needed to pull it directly.

As Fang Qiu pulled, a fish with the width of a palm which was as long as a man’s arm was dragged out of the waves by Fang Qiu.

When he pulled it out, the fish was still struggling.

“Wow, such a big fish?” Song Yaqi was uplifted while seeing this fish.

“Awesome!” Liu Qingshi also looked at Fang Qiu in shock, and then he laughed heartily and said, “The director team must have made a mistake for inviting you to this show. I’m sure that they didn’t expect you to have such a strong survival ability in the wild. Hahaha… I really want to see Director Liu’s face now.”

Fang Qiu grabbed the fish hurriedly and took the hook out of the fish’s belly.

“Don’t gloat too early.”

Looking at Liu Qingshi laughing loudly, Fang Qiu said, “Although this fish looks big, in fact, it’s just a tiny one. We have eight people here. And I haven’t taken the PDs into consideration yet. There are 12 people, including the PDs. This one fish is not enough at all. It will be finished when everyone takes a bite. And it can’t fill the stomach at all.”

Liu Qingshi’s face was filled with confidence as he said, “Since it’s not enough, we can just keep fishing. Let me have a try. This time, I’ll show the audience how the master of fishing is born!”

Fang Qiu chuckled and handed the fishing rod to Liu Qing Shi, asking him to get the bait himself.

However, they didn’t know if it was due to sheer luck or real skill, but Liu Qingshi did catch a small fish in the reef area according to Fang Qiu’s method.

“Well, I’ll take care of it here.” Getting bait made Liu Qing Shi more confident. As he stuck the bait to the hook and began to fish, he said confidently to Fang Qiu and Song Yaqi, “Leave it to me. You guys can go to other places to see if there is any food. Maybe I can even catch a shark for you later.”

Fang Qiu shook his head with a wry smile.

He was baffled by Liu Qingshi’s bragging. How could he expect the shark to come when this tiny bait wouldn’t be able to attract the shark at all?

Song Yaqi took the initiative to say, “Let’s go and look for something else.”

“Okay.” Fang Qiu nodded. Then the two of them began to search around together.

However, they didn’t find anything to eat after looking around.

Looking at the time, they found that the sun was about to set in an hour, so they had to go back.

They also met other people coming back along the way.

They went back to the beach.

Fang Qiu saw that Liu Qingshi did catch one fish. In addition to the one that Fang Qiu had caught before, there were two in total.

Although these two fish were not small, it was not enough for so many people to eat.

What should they do?

For a moment, everyone was simply looking at each other helplessly.

Obviously, this group of people usually lived a comfortable life and didn’t know how to survive in the wild at all. Even if they occasionally recorded a program of survival in the wild, it was done with the help of the show’s crew. They didn’t learn how to depend on themselves in the wild in the slightest. Now when they encountered the actual difficulties, this group of people didn’t know what to do.

Most importantly, it didn’t matter if a normal person didn’t eat for three days and only drank some water. However, judged by their looks, they might not make it this time.

“These two fish are obviously not enough.”

As they gathered together, Fang Qiu said, “However, although it’s not enough, they’re still meat. You guys can cook these fish first. Please find a way to wash them and cook them. Let’s eat together.”

“That’s the only way.” Gu Jianguo nodded, ready to cook the fish.

“I just walked around and found that there were a lot of reefs around this island. I can swim. Maybe I can dive into the sea and try to get some seafood,” said Fang Qiu.

Everyone’s eyes lit up as they heard that.

Liu Qingshi immediately vetoed the idea and said, “No. This is too dangerous. We are not familiar with this sea, and there is no one around to come to the rescue. If anything should happen to you, we won’t be able to save you. Without a safety guarantee, you can’t get into the sea.”

As soon as he said that, everyone nodded.

Fang Qiu also grinned.

He didn’t expect that at this critical moment, Liu Qingshi was still quite reliable!

“It’s okay,” Fang Qiu continued, “I’ll be in the surrounding area. There won’t be too much of a problem. Trust my ability in swimming.”

“It’s really too dangerous,” Frowning, Liu Qingshi looked at Fang Qiu seriously and asked, “Are you sure about that?”

“Don’t worry. I’ll be just fine,” Fang Qiu said while nodding with certainty, “Since the director team trusted you guys with me, I can’t let you starve.”

While speaking, Fang Qiu walked aside.

He took off his clothes and only left a pair of boxer shorts, revealing his muscular figure. He held the shirt in his hand and tied it around his body to put the seafood.

“Wow!”

“Wow! Wow! Wow!”

At the sight of Fang Qiu’s figure, the other members stared at him with their eyes wide open.

The two women began to study him carefully.

“Hey, what are you doing?”

Liu Qing Shi ran in front of Ying’er and Song Yaqi, blocking their sight. Meanwhile, he said, “Master Fang, hurry up and go to the sea. If you’re still standing there, these beautiful ladies are going to drool.”

Ying’er and Song Yaqi simply ignored him. The two of them went to another side respectively and continued to stare at Fang Qiu.

As Fang Qiu met their eyes, Fang Qiu held the camera in one hand in embarrassment and a strong wooden stick he found in advance with the other hand. Then, he quickly dived into the sea.

No sooner had he got into the sea than Fang Qiu immediately swam out.

After swimming for about 30 or 40 meters, he found that the waves on the surface of the sea were not so distinct. When the water was about four or five meters deep, Fang Qiu got into the water and began to look for seafood in the underwater reef.

He held his breath for two minutes, which made the members waiting on the shore all frightened. Liu Qingshi was ready to go down to the sea to find Fang Qiu, but Fang Qiu popped out his head at the moment. He didn’t take time to gasp. He simply took a breath and dived into the sea again.

This time, three minutes passed.

Every time Liu Qingshi was so worried that he wanted to get into the sea, Fang Qiu would stick his head out of the water and tell everyone that he was safe.

It was too easy for Fang Qiu to hold his breath for three minutes.

Of course, he didn’t use internal Qi but normally dived by holding his breath.

The longest diving time record in the world was made by a Danish who had taken pure oxygen in advance and held his breath for 20 minutes and 10 seconds in the pool.

Under normal circumstances, those who had the vital capacity of 7,000 to 8,000 could hold their breath for three minutes when they were in a peaceful state. If they were fully prepared, they could hold their breath for five minutes to the maximum.

Even if he didn’t use internal Qi, Fang Qiu’s vital capacity couldn’t be compared with ordinary people’s.

Not to mention three minutes, it wouldn’t be a problem even if he held it in for five minutes.

The third dive took Fang Qiu five minutes.

At first, he wanted to report that he was safe in three minutes, but he found an abalone attached to the reef under the sea when he was about to do so.

Hence, Fang Qiu directly dived down, took the abalone off the rock with his wooden stick, and then stuck his head out of the sea.

Everyone was rather panicked because they really didn’t have any safety protection measures. They were afraid that something unexpected would happen to Fang Qiu.

But the moment Fang Qiu came out of the water, the members were exhilarated because they saw an abalone in Fang Qiu’s hand!

He shouted at everyone, “Don’t worry. I’m fine. I’ll find more abalone. Don’t worry about me.”

Fang Qiu dived down again.

This time, no one panicked, for they found that Fang Qiu was adept at diving.

Giving it another thought, they realized that Fang Qiu was a Qigong master. It was effortless for him to dive into the water.

With that thought in mind, Liu Qingshi was no longer so worried.

And this time, Fang Qiu’s diving time was also much longer than before.

Three minutes later, there was no response.

Five minutes passed.

After ten minutes, there was still no sign of Fang Qiu.

Twelve minutes later, everyone began to worry again.

Song Yaqi asked worriedly, “Will anything happen to Fang Qiu?”

“It’s been so long. Why doesn’t he come out?” Liu Qingshi frowned.

“Ah!” Just when everyone was worried, Ying’er suddenly screamed and pointed to the sea in the distance. “Look, what’s that?”

Everyone turned their heads.

When they saw that thing, everyone’s face instantly turned pale.

It was a shark!
