Chapter 32 Fishing
The coastline of Havana stretches slowly downward, and Leo swims deeper along the coast. When he came to the depth of more than 40 meters, although Leo's body was far beyond ordinary people, he couldn't hold his breath for too long at this depth. So he floated upwards again, reached a depth of 30 meters, and continued to move towards the deep sea.
From time to time, Leo would come to the surface to breathe, and tonight the sea was very windy and the waves were strong, but the water was still very calm. So he stayed underwater except for breathing, and Leo used ultrasound to explore the surrounding waters, about an hour later. In his senses, there was a large object coming from 500 meters away on his side.
So he sent out a few more ultrasonic waves to investigate, and Leo found that the moving object was swimming very fast. So Leo swam forward as fast as he could figure out what it was. It didn't take long for Leo to see the thing, but when Leo saw the object in front of him, he was so frightened that he almost couldn't hold his breath.
What appeared in front of him was not a big school of fish, but a nuclear submarine that was moving slowly. Leo held down his frightened thumping heart and didn't dare to do anything, even if Leo was swept around a few times by the current generated by the submarine passing, he was also motionless, because Leo was afraid that the people on the submarine would find out. If you think you're a fish, it's fine, but if you think you're a novelty species, you'll be in trouble. It may be that Leo's body is too small, anyway, the nuclear submarine left without any reaction.
Leo watched the nuclear submarine slowly disappear from sight, and then he was relieved. However, Leo did not swim ahead, but swam in the direction in which the submarine came. Because the nuclear submarine is too large, even if there are schools of fish in front of him, they will be swept away by it, but the place where he has been will bring up a lot of microorganisms on the bottom of the sea because of the surrounding waters, which is the favorite delicacy of the fish.
He swam in the direction from which the submarine came for half an hour, and sure enough, he finally found a school of fish within the range he could detect, and Leo immediately swam over there excitedly.
Soon a silver ball of light appeared in Leo's vision, and even though it was night, the bright light reflected from the fish's body could still make him see clearly. It was a school of fish with tens of thousands of small silver fish, and the fish were swaying from side to side as if they were hiding from something.
Leo noticed that there were many large predatory fish around the fish, and these large fish were many in number and of different species, and they were hitting the fish again and again, so it was no wonder that the fish were swaying from side to side. However, unlike the panic of the fish, Leo was happy when he saw these big fish, and he thought to himself, "Tonight is not in vain, and it seems that the harvest should be not small." ”
He didn't look at the fish, but kept staring at the largest fish, which was about 1.5 meters long, with a silver body, and an inconspicuous yellow longitudinal band on both sides of the fish's body, from the eyes to the tail, and the front end of the mouth was blunt and rounded.
So Leo slowly approached the big fish, which had been moving within a certain range, preying on the small fish that had fallen behind. Leo was soon within range of the big fish and into Leo's range, raising the big harpoon in his right hand, just as he was about to throw the harpoon to pierce the big fish.
Leo suddenly felt an unusual stirring of the water on the left side of his body, as if something was slamming towards his body, and Leo didn't have to rush to dodge sideways, so he had to raise the small harpoon in his left hand to block it. He only saw a faint gray color, and the gray object had already hit the harpoon, and Leo's body was knocked out of the way. Due to the force of the impact, Leo was unprepared, and this collision made Leo unable to hold his breath at all, and directly spit out the air in his mouth. Although the situation was critical, fortunately, he adjusted the qi and blood in his body in time, and used the pores on the surface of his body to desperately breathe the oxygen in the water, so that he did not suffocate due to lack of oxygen.
Leo, who finally came to his senses, only then did he have time to see what hit him, but after seeing it, Leo was startled again. Because what hit him was a gray shark of about 1.2 meters, if it weren't for Leo's special eyes and quick reaction, otherwise he would not have been hit as simple as being hit, but was directly bitten off a piece of meat.
In fact, this gray shark has been around for a long time, but because the shark's protective color and Leo's attention are on the big silver fish, he didn't find it at all. When Leo targets the big fish and approaches it. The shark was also quietly approaching Leo, who thought to himself, "This is really a praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind, and he almost fed the shark." After a while, Leo also started to kill the shark. "Since you want to hunt me down, be prepared to be killed"
Leo first glanced at the little harpoon that had just been struck by a shark. Then they quickly calculated each other's speed and strength in their brains, and at the same time thought about how to kill them faster with one hit.
At this time, the gray shark saw that he did not succeed in the blow just now, so he did not flee immediately, but turned around in the distance, went around the back of Leo and rushed towards him. Leo knew that the gray shark had swam towards him, but he didn't turn around immediately, his mind was still calculating, he knew that there was only one chance, if one blow could not kill the opponent, the shark would definitely escape far away, and he would never be able to catch it again.
The shark is getting closer and closer to Leo, Leo is also adjusting the position of his body slightly, he always faces the shark on the right side of his body, and when the shark is not far from Leo, he accelerates violently, opens his mouth and bites Leo's right arm, it seems that he wants to directly remove Leo's entire right arm. Leo didn't dodge, but raised the big harpoon in his right hand like a tai chi, and forcefully pushed the shark's head to the side to make him deviate from the direction. Immediately after that, Leo's body also turned to the right, and the small harpoon in his left hand was inserted into the shark's abdomen. This series of actions and precise timing did not give the shark any chance to escape, and directly hit the shark that attacked Leo in the abdomen. Due to Leo's incredible strength, the harpoon went down, and the entire front end of the harpoon was inserted into the shark's abdomen, and the shark only had time to twist a few times before it could move.
Don't look at these movements are very simple, but in deep water, they are done under the condition of holding their breath, which consumes a lot of Leo's strength, especially when he has been holding his breath, and now Leo is staring in front of his eyes. So he didn't care about dealing with the shark and the other big silver fish, and immediately floated to the surface. As soon as Leo's head appeared on the surface of the sea, he immediately breathed heavily. After relieving for a while, Leo felt less depressed and his body returned to normal. Only then did he look at the little harpoon that he had been holding onto, the shark had been stuck in it, Leo thought to himself, "Can you go back like this, this shark can also be sold for a good price, but I am really a little unwilling, I finally found the big silver fish, so it's really not worth giving up." ”
Soon Leo had a decision, he threaded the shark with a fishing line, tied it behind his back, and tied the handle of the big harpoon with a fishing line. Then he took a deep breath and dived again, intending to catch the big silver fish as well.
Back around the fish, Leo looked around carefully and found that the big silver fish was still there, so he was even more determined to catch it.
He slowly leaned towards it as he had done before, but this time Leo kept an eye on his surroundings, he didn't want another shark to sneak up on him. Leo noticed that the attention of the other fish around him was on the school of fish in front of him, so he swam even more boldly towards the big silver fish.
When he was still 5 or 6 meters away from the big fish, he stopped, because if he went any further, the big fish would either swim away or attack him, and neither result would be what Leo wanted to see.
He mentally calculated the distance between each other, and also calculated his own strength, the distance at which he should be able to throw the big harpoon and stab the big fish. So he slowly raised the big harpoon in his right hand and aimed it at the big fish, waiting for the best time, and just as the big fish happened to turn the whole side at Leo, he moved.
Leo used all his strength to throw the big harpoon in his hand at the big fish, and the harpoon quickly drew a silver ray in the water and hit the big fish in the abdomen. The big fish writhed desperately for a while, but in a blink of an eye it didn't move, and its body slowly sank towards the deep sea with the harpoon.
Seeing this, Leo immediately tightened the fishing line tied to the harpoon, and the harpoon was pulled to Leo's side along with the big fish. Leo was finally satisfied when he saw this big fish about his height, and this time he had overfulfilled the task. So he used ultrasound to confirm the terrain here, and soon found the direction of the mainland, so he held the big fish and harpoon, dragged the shark behind him, and swam in the direction of the land.
Leo knew that he had strayed far from where he had come, so he roughly calculated the speed at which he had come and the speed of the current, adjusted it again, and continued to swim towards the shore.
About an hour later, just when Leo was already feeling a little tired, he could finally see the bottom of the sea, which meant that it was not far from the shore.
But at this moment, Leo noticed that something seemed to be following him, and when he turned to look, he couldn't see clearly. So Leo didn't care what was behind him, and continued to swim forward, and after another ten minutes, he was closer to the shore, and when he came out to the sea to breathe, he could already see the little lights on the shore.
At the moment when he relaxed, his body sank violently, and he was pulled by a strong force and sank into the sea. Leo was shocked, but he didn't panic, quickly adjusted his body posture, and looked into the sea, only to see a 1.5-meter-long gray shark biting the shark corpse dragged behind him, swimming below the surface of the sea.
Leo then remembered that the shark's sense of smell was very sensitive, and it could smell even the slightest smell of blood from a few kilometers away, and it must have attracted other sharks from the blood that he had shed when he killed the shark. He was thinking, "Another one is here to die, then I'll take it together", when several gray figures appeared near the shark carcass. When Leo saw these sharks, his scalp was a little numb, if it was a shark, he was confident that he could deal with it, but there were so many more at once, and he was a little stunned in his heart.
Leo glanced at the big fish he was holding in his arms, but fortunately the big fish didn't bleed a lot, thanks to Leo not pulling the harpoon out of the belly of the big fish, if it did, the blood would definitely attract more sharks. Seeing the sharks in the distance, Leo gritted his teeth and used the harpoon in his left hand to draw the fishing line on his waist, and the fishing line was immediately broken, and the shark carcass was dragged by more than a dozen sharks to swim towards the deep sea. Leo looked at the group of sharks in the distance, touched the cold sweat on his head, and thought to himself that this time it was a little too big, but fortunately they didn't attack him, otherwise the big fish in his arms would not be able to save it.
After not thinking about it anymore, Leo quickly swam to the shore, at this time the sky was already a little white, Leo looked at the buildings on the land, looking for a place to go to the sea, because the place where he went to sea was closest to Raul's house, he didn't want many people to see that he caught such a big fish, and after looking for more than ten minutes, he finally found the place where he went to sea. Only then did he drag his tired body and carry the big fish ashore.
He took advantage of the fact that it was still dawn, and returned to the back door of the Raul Hotel, and finally could no longer support his body, and sat on the ground, panting heavily.
Leo didn't fall asleep, but sat cross-legged and adjusted his breathing, allowing his body to relax slowly, and his mind was unconsciously immersed in the feeling of his body. Leo also usually meditates in this position, so that he can gradually understand his body and better control his body.
It may be that the body is too tired, Leo can breathe for a few breaths to achieve the effect that usually takes more than ten minutes, he seems to "see" that the blood in the body is constantly flowing according to a certain law, the muscles are constantly squirming, and even the skin is constantly breathing air. It was the first time he had encountered such a magical feeling, and he immediately gave up all perception of the outside world and completely immersed himself in this wonderful feeling.
Early in the morning, when the sun was shining on the earth, Raul also came out of the house, and he went to the store to see what he had to buy for the day. His restaurant0 does not open until near noon every day, and he usually does the work he buys. Today was no exception, but when he came to the back door of the hotel, he saw Leo sitting there. At this time, Leo's whole person seemed to be almost integrated with his surroundings, he sat there less like a person and more like a statue, if it weren't for the sunlight shining on his body so that Raul could see him, even if he walked past him, he would not have noticed that someone was there.
This discovery made Raul very curious about Leo, so he walked over to look, but when he arrived at the 1.5-meter-long fish next to Leo, he was also shocked, although he used to fish for a living, but he had never caught such a big fish. He also saw the harpoon standing on the big fish, proving that Leo had killed the big fish with this harpoon. At this time, Raul looked at it more and more frightened, how much strength does it take to insert the harpoon so deeply, he asked himself if he must not be able to do it with his own strength, is this really the young man in front of him to do it, if so, then he is really a monster.
Raul discovers that Leo is now in a very mysterious state, and although he doesn't know what Leo is doing, Raul doesn't want to disturb him. But he couldn't watch here all the time, so he turned and went home, called out his two daughters, and told them to watch Leo and not let anyone disturb him.
Raul's two daughters were also curious when they saw Leo in this state, and they didn't know what he was doing now, and Leo couldn't hear them talking on the side. simply left him alone, and the two of them went their separate ways on one side, and from time to time they let out a string of crisp laughter.
In this way, another two hours passed, and Raul had already purchased the ingredients for today, and his two daughters were still guarding Leo by his side. At this time, Leo slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the figure of two young and lovely girls, who were sitting not far in front of Leo, writing homework on the table in front of them.
Leo's eyes were exceptionally bright at this time, and the world in his eyes seemed to be different from before, and he could not only see the appearance of the two girls in front of him, but also the small hairs on their faces floating in the wind.
He turned his head to look at a wall five or six meters away, and it was just as clear as it was in front of him, even the spots on the small crawling insects in the cracks in the stone of the wall could be clearly seen.
This discovery startled Leo himself, who felt less and less like a human now. After sighing, he shook his head helplessly, gave up the somewhat ridiculous idea in his mind, and stood up.
