159: It's Yin, right?
However, their fishing rods were quite crude, probably the kind of basic sea rods costing a few hundred to a thousand yuan, the type that would be precarious for catching even a slightly larger fish.
Trying to catch Tuna with them was simply wishful thinking, but that was none of his business.
Chen Xiangbei continued to reel in fish at a steady pace. Tuna weighing fifty to sixty jin have strong bursts of power, but ensuring the fishing line's durability, he could pull up a fish every five to six minutes on average.
Just like that, an hour passed. Chen Xiangbei had already caught over ten Yellowfin Tuna of varying sizes, while those few people from Monkey Country had only caught a few pomfrets, which made them extremely anxious.
At this moment, Chen Xiangbei hooked another fish, and it was clearly a larger Tuna, weighing around a hundred jin.
Just as he was playing the fish, the fishing boat from Monkey Country had restarted and was approaching him.
They stopped when they were less than ten meters away and started jabbering at Chen Xiangbei in their Monkey Country language. Chen Xiangbei couldn't understand it, so he simply pretended not to hear and focused on playing the fish.
However, the next scene infuriated Chen Xiangbei. He saw a few of them pick up stones that were on the boat and throw them towards Chen Xiangbei.
Chen Xiangbei suppressed the rage in his heart, gripping his fishing rod tightly while observing the trajectory of the stones.
When the people from Monkey Country realized they couldn't hit him, they shifted their target to the fishing line he was using to play the fish. The line was taut at this moment, and there was a risk of it snapping if hit by a stone.
"Thud."
As luck would have it, the thing Chen Xiangbei worried about most still happened. A sharp stone hit the fishing line and bounced off.
Fortunately, the fishing gear he bought was top-tier, and the quality of the fishing line could withstand the test. If it had been an ordinary fishing line, it would have definitely snapped when hit by that sharp stone.
Chen Xiangbei was furious at this point. He didn't care about anything else, directly erupting with immense strength and forcefully dragging the Tuna back.
He dragged it to the stern of the boat, pulled it up with a single hand, quickly bled and gutted it, and then threw it into the freezer compartment.
He then turned and went into the work cabin, found the repair toolbox, and took out a hammer, a chisel, and a coil of rope.
He put them into his personal space and then jumped off the other side of the boat, which was the blind spot for the people from Monkey Country.
Chen Xiangbei, entering the ocean, shot out like an Indo-Pacific sailfish at extreme speed, swimming towards the boat of the people from Monkey Country.
Meanwhile, the people from Monkey Country became very nervous when they realized Chen Xiangbei hadn't surfaced for a long time. They were afraid he had called for help, as in terms of strength, no one dared to confront Dragon Country directly.
Dragon Country could summon hundreds of fishing boats with just one satellite phone call; they only dared to show off when he was alone.
Therefore, the people from Monkey Country decisively started their boat, wanting to leave this sea area.
However, they didn't know that Chen Xiangbei had already reached the bottom of their boat. He first used the rope to entangle the propeller of the Monkey Country fishing boat.
When the people from Monkey Country started the boat, they noticed the engine sound was wrong, and the boat wasn't moving at all; it had no power to move forward.
Consequently, they started panicking. If the boat was broken, they could only call for help.
That wasn't the main issue; the important thing was that the other party might have already called for help. If people actually came, based on their recent actions, they might not be able to return.
On the other side, after solving their power issue, Chen Xiangbei began to address the boat's hull problem.
He found the weakest part of the fishing boat and continuously chiseled at the hull.
Fortunately, his strength was great, and combined with his Underwater Breathing ability, he could utilize his own power effectively.
And the fishing boat of the people from Monkey Country was also an old vessel from decades ago, already rusted beyond recognition. Under his relentless chiseling efforts, small holes were formed one by one.
Seawater trickled into the cabin. Because the rate of water entry was slow, the people on board hadn't noticed anything wrong with the hull; they were still constantly calling for help.
Chen Xiangbei didn't stop but kept chiseling along those small holes. Slowly, the small holes turned into large gaps!
After seeing the boat's sinking speed noticeably increase, Chen Xiangbei returned to his fishing boat and stood on the deck, quietly watching the people from Monkey Country.
When the people from Monkey Country saw Chen Xiangbei return, they became even more anxious, thinking he had finished his call and come back.
Suddenly, one of their crew members let out a loud, strange cry, muttering something unintelligible. Then, two people were seen running into the cabin.
Before long, they were seen running out again, holding several life jackets. They quickly distributed and put on the life jackets.
By the time they had put on their life jackets, the seawater had already covered the deck, and the bow of the boat began to sink first.
The few people from Monkey Country held onto the railing tightly with both hands. Ten minutes later, the entire fishing boat disappeared beneath the surface of the sea.
The people from Monkey Country floated on the sea with their life jackets, continuously waving their hands, seemingly signaling for help from Chen Xiangbei.
However, Chen Xiangbei did not sympathize with them. He just quietly watched the few people, watching them drift away with the current towards the distance.
Chen Xiangbei turned and returned to the cockpit, started the boat, turned the rudder, and sailed in another direction.
In his opinion, the final resting place for these few people should be this vast and magnificent sea.
Even if they had called for help, this kind of fishing boat had no positioning system. It was impossible to find their approximate location based on just one position.
Furthermore, there were winds and waves on the vast sea, and people in the water would drift with the current.
When rescue personnel arrived at the designated location, putting aside whether they could arrive accurately, even if they did, the people would have drifted to who knows where.
Moreover, this place was still quite a distance from Monkey Country. From the call for help to the departure of the rescue team, there was a buffer period. Not all countries had quick and effective execution like Dragon Country.
Especially for a backward country like Monkey Country, they definitely wouldn't go to great lengths for just a few people. They would surely report it layer by layer, then shirk responsibility layer by layer, and the people who eventually went out might not even be official rescue personnel.
Therefore, Chen Xiangbei didn't directly finish them off; it was considered giving them a chance. As for whether they could survive, that depended on their fate.
Their greatest sin in this life was that they absolutely should not have gone to harass Chen Xiangbei.
At this moment, Chen Xiangbei had arrived in another sea area, which was relatively close to Haizhou Province. He also found a considerable school of fish here and was currently preparing.
Suddenly, his phone rang. He took out his phone and saw it was Zhao Hu calling, so he answered the call.
"Hello, Hu Ge, what's up? Are you planning to treat me to a meal?"
"Xiangbei, let me ask you something. Did you beat up a bunch of hooligans at the Fishermen's Wharf yesterday?"
