Chapter 249: Stocking

Bi Fang picked up a drifting ball of sargassum and threw it on the boat.

This was the third clump of sargassum that Bi Fang had encountered in the last two days, and it was also the only vegetable ingestion, and he squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky.

The sun shines on the sea, and seagulls gather and fly low. Just waiting for small fish to jump out of the undulating waves, the sea on a sunny morning is a sumptuous table for seagulls.

They target small fish and wait for an occasional capelin or euro eel to surface.

This time it's not just a single one, but a flock of seagulls!

Bi Fang's mood was agitated, and he couldn't help but shout with his hands as a horn, and the roar startled a seagull that swooped into the water, and flew away in a hurry before he had time to catch a fish.

The continuous chirping of birds is a boon and a sign that land is not far away!

"We're close to land!"

The abundance of sargassum also indicates this.

Bi Fang breathed deeply in the salty sea breeze, the icy air poured from his trachea to the depths of his lungs, he looked up at the sky, as if the sun of the whole world was shining on him, he didn't feel cold, he didn't feel tired, only the chirping of seagulls and the sound of the tide echoed in his ears.

[Sixteen days! Have you finally encountered land? 】

[Damn, I've waited so long, is it going to end? 】

[There should be two or three more days, right?] I remember that Fang Shen didn't say that seabirds can fly up to about 100 kilometers if they are long in flocks? 】

"Yes, at most, it's only a hundred kilometers, at our current speed, we may reach the mainland in two or three days, and if I find the port directly, my survival mission will be completely completed."

Bi Fang's face was full of smiles, and the survival at sea for more than two weeks made his face slightly darker, and his face grew stubble, looking very vicissitudes, like an experienced old fisherman, but his eyes were amazingly bright, shining in the sun, young and vibrant.

The two unique temperaments are perfectly blended together, giving people a strong sense of security, like a sword that has been polished for a long time, sharp and tough.

The mission time is to survive for twenty-one days, but Bi Fang may find the continent in less than twenty days, which is definitely overfulfilled!

Bi Fang picked up the sargassum he had just scooped up, picked a section and washed it, put it in his mouth and chewed it, the unique crispness of plant cells spread in his mouth, diluting the fishy smell of eclipse fish.

"The abundance of driftwood, coconut fruits, and other drifting plants indicates that the land is not far away, but of course the coconut fruit only appears in the tropics, and with the presence of flocks of seagulls, I estimate that it will reach the mainland before the 20th. I don't know if it's a wasteland or a harbor, but if it's a harbor, then our mission is complete. ”

Bi Fang put what little wood was left in the charcoal, waited for the heat to build up, and then pulled open the tent, revealing a life raft full of strings of fish.

Among them were three European eels, one North Atlantic salmon, seven or eight small capelin fish, a shark bone, some shark meat, two herring and a mackerel.

The life raft was almost full, and if it weren't for a rag, Bi Fang would have slept with the fish every night.

The rags were one of the fourteenth day of harvest, and they were floating on the sea, and it took a little effort to catch them.

[Nima, this harvest is outrageous, the purchase is coming? 】

[Don't survive, be a fisherman]

[It's all fucking good, salmon, my salmon!] 】

Bi Fang took out a European eel, cut off a piece of salmon meat, sat cross-legged on a raft, sliced the salmon meat and roasted it on a shell.

Salmon is rich in fat and quickly oily.

When the fat was almost precipitated, Bi Fang put the cut eel meat on top of it, absorbing the salmon fat, and soon a unique fragrance wafted out.

Sandwich the eel pieces between two layers of salmon meat, and then spread sargassum on the outermost part, and when you take a bite, your mouth is full of fat and fragrant, accompanied by the umami and juice of seaweed, which is absolutely delicious!

[Damn, look at a few handfuls of incense]

【You're a seafood burger?】 】

[Not a good person! 】

[Salmon is actually used to grill, a tyrannical thing! ] 】

Bi Fang smiled: "Although Atlantic salmon can be eaten raw, after all, I don't have much wood left, so let's try to eat a few more cooked meals." ”

"Wild North Atlantic salmon are rare now, and the taste of 'the supreme among fish' is indeed very delicious, if you eat it grilled, you may feel a little greasy, but because I have lived in the wild for a long time, I will feel extremely fat, and it is really a pity not to taste it with European eels."

Bi Fang ate salmon and looked at the remaining fish bones, but he remembered another thing in his heart, and couldn't help but tell the audience.

As a migratory fish, the life tension of salmon has always been something he admires, and unlike the evolutionary tension that has been avoiding crisis after crisis for Tiktalik, salmon have pure life tension.

Every autumn, they return to their homeland and go to the lakes high in the mountains.

However, the road is not easy, bears will wait on the river beaches along the way, cormorants will swim on the water, and schools of catfish will sink to the bottom, with their mouths open and sharp teeth bared, waiting for the most sumptuous feast of the year, these salmon with tender meat.

However, the herrings did not fear or hesitate, and let the bear's claws rise and fall, and the falcons and catfish snatched their companions away and tore them apart, swimming forward with all their might, and with each inch of progress they got closer to the clouds.

Because there is a warm, algae-filled lake in the mountains, the surviving salmon lay thousands of eggs in place of its dead companions, which hatch the following spring, and the small fish become like their parents and like the salmon that have not escaped from the hunters.

Year after year, let life multiply.

"And those salmon carcasses don't die in vain, they become nature's nourishment, providing nourishment for their offspring and other aquatic creatures."

[Ah, I'm embarrassed to eat salmon in the future]

[Hometown! 】

"This is the cruel law of nature."

Bi Fang lowered his head, took another bite, paused, and added.

"But now the salmon you eat is farmed, and if it still migrates naturally, the fishermen will be the first to refuse, and the loss will be too great."

【??? 】

[Replace me with a touch! 】

【Atmosphere Breaker】

After eating the whole 'burger' in two or three bites, Bi Fang looked to the surface of the water, and the appearance of salmon and European eels alerted him.

"Both salmon and European eels have high water quality requirements, which is why wild salmon are scarce, so I suspect that when I get to the shore, I may not run into a harbor, but a wasteland."

Bi Fang's speculation is not unreasonable, as most of the places with ports are developed areas, and there are various factories and ships, so it is difficult to ensure high water quality.

Only close to the wilderness is it possible for salmon and European eels to breed here.

It seemed that he couldn't get out of the predicament immediately, Bi Fang sighed, and was about to pull the sails and continue to move forward, when a violent vibration suddenly came from under the boat.

Bi Fang felt a brief moment in the air, followed by the raft rising high, and a few seconds later, falling again.

The raft let out an overwhelmed moan, and Bi Fang immediately looked up, only to see,

An extremely huge tail!
