Seabird!

Bi Fang held his breath, crouched down, and stood as still as possible, fearing that any little movement of his might startle away this creature that had suddenly intruded.

The production crew quickly lowered all the drones to their minimum altitude and reduced their volume to the lowest, so as not to disturb Bi Fang.

Even the audience slowed their breathing as if the seabird was standing right in front of them, and the number of people sending bullet comments decreased, as everyone recalled what Bi Fang had said before.

Because the life raft is a rare resting place, it has a considerable attraction.

It’s actually true!

The audience was exhilarated, could they finally eat bird meat?

Bi Fang kept his eyes locked on the seabird, unlike the audience, his mind raced with thoughts and he considered even more things.

The seabird’s chest heaved violently, puffing up like a balloon, indicating it had flown a long distance and was extremely fatigued. Desperately upon spotting the raft, it had landed even with the presence of a person.

And moreover…

Bi Fang took a light breath, slowly shifting his body to a more comfortable position. He wanted to talk to the audience but feared scaring the seabird, so he kept his volume as low as possible.

“I mentioned before…” Bi Fang uttered these three words cautiously, his gaze firmly fixed on the seagull, and only after confirming that it didn’t make any further movements, he continued, “I’ve said that in severe weather, birds may be blown off their usual courses and lose their direction…”

“Few seabirds can sleep on the sea’s surface and can fly more than a hundred kilometers away from land. Mostly, they leave land before noon and return in the afternoon.

So, continuous bird calls are a blessing, signaling that land is not far away.”

[But it seemed like there was only this one, right?]

[Yeah, the one that came down from the sky, with a very clear shadow, just one]

[Have you ever seen a seagull fall from the sky?]

“Indeed…”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

If that were true, it meant he could be less than a hundred kilometers from the coast. Although the ocean currents wouldn’t carry him more than 9 to 13 kilometers a day, if he were heading in the right direction, he might find the continent before the challenge ended – that would clearly be a greater achievement.

Bi Fang was not content with merely surviving twenty-one days; he wanted to find the mainland within those twenty-one days and accomplish an even more remarkable feat.

But the likelihood of that happening now seemed very small…

Bi Fang took another breath, trying to minimize the vibration in his throat: “I also mentioned the situation of there being only one bird; it means this seagull has been blown off course and lost its way, which is also quite common.”

Immediately, the audience remembered that Bi Fang had indeed said this, but many had somewhat forgotten, or they hadn’t watched that part of the live stream and had just entered the livestream room.

After all, not everyone can watch the live broadcast every day; many who have watched a few days of live broadcasts will watch the edited version again to make sure they haven’t missed anything.

[What do we do now, eat the bird? Such a big bird, Old Fang must like it]

[It must taste very good]

[Pass it on: Master Fang definitely likes eating big birds]

[Pass it on: Master Fang likes eating birds]

[Pass it on: Master Fang eats birds]

[…?]

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Bi Fang refocused, not bothering with Shuiyou’s nonsense, and started thinking about how to capture the seagull.

Catching a bird that has landed on the boat can be difficult but not too challenging. If he remained quiet until it settled down completely, he might get lucky and catch it.

Especially in bad weather, when the exhausted birds’ physical strength and response time are significantly reduced.

However, Bi Fang had a better idea; he gently dragged the fishing line in his hand, moving the fishhook close to him.

The fishhook was a treasure; theoretically, it could catch anything, even a seagull, especially since Bi Fang had baited the hook with meat.

A Hairfin Anchovy, a favorite of the seagull.

It had flown for so long, must be very tired, must be very hungry, right?

As long as he used the fish as bait to get the seabird to swallow it, the fish hook hidden inside the fish’s body would go through its throat. It wouldn’t be long then, till the seagull would die on its own.

Although there were slices of fish hanging on his own rod, they were all dried, and their smell was far less strong than the Hairfin Anchovy in Bi Fang’s hands. He believed the seagull would choose the Hairfin Anchovy.

Moreover, the slices of fish that were hanging on the rod were not as accessible as the Hairfin Anchovy lying directly on the ground.

The Shuiyou witnessing Bi Fang’s subtle maneuvers instantly understood what he was up to and were incredibly excited, bird fishing, eh? Who had done this before?

[Awesome, Old Fang isn’t satisfied with just fishing anymore, he actually wants to fish for birds, really likes to eat birds, no?]

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

[Strong, with this wave, even the flying creatures are on the menu, haven’t ever tasted seagull, wonder if it’s good]

[emmm, I’ve tried, to be honest, seagull doesn’t taste very good… the meat feels weird to eat]

[Ah, there really is all sorts of people in the live broadcast]

Bi Fang grasped the Hairfin Anchovy, looking for an opportunity to toss it by the seagull’s feet, yet was also scared of frightening the seagull and making it act irrationally at first.

“Though the seagull is the messenger of the sea, and one of the symbols of peace, in reality, it is famously known as a marauder, very fond of snatching food and attacking its kin. Therefore, we must be careful not to let it puncture the inflation valve when we catch it.

Even though the inflation valve is quite sturdy, this probability isn’t non-existent. Plus, it might not immediately eat the fish. If it happens to drag the fish hook and puncture the valve, that’s another problem.”

That powerful?

The audience was stunned, but seeing Bi Fang standing on the raft, they quickly realized how wise Master Fang’s firm decision to build the raft was. No matter the final outcome, at least he wouldn’t end up falling into the sea without a vessel.

The seagull made a cawing sound with each breath. With each rise and fall, Bi Fang could clearly see the seagull’s chest rapidly inflating like a balloon, as if it would explode if pricked.

At that moment, the seagull was staring at the sea’s surface, one of its eyes on the side fixating on Bi Fang. He didn’t make any rash movements, quietly waiting for the seagull to turn its head, just like when he fished.

Quite a few of the Shuiyou were getting anxious, for as time passed, they could clearly see the bird’s chest rising and falling less dramatically, fearing it would regain its strength and escape.

However, after a few more minutes, the seagull did not flee but instead shifted its gaze elsewhere.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

A great opportunity!

Bi Fang did not hesitate and immediately cast the Hairfin Anchovy from his hand, using only the strength of his wrist, trying to minimize the vertical height to avoid a loud noise upon landing.

That cast reached two meters, landing right at the edge of the life raft. The slick mucus allowed the Hairfin Anchovy to slide off the raft’s edge, and luckily, it didn’t fall into the sea but landed on the wooden raft, making a very faint sound.

The seagull was attracted by the sound. It looked down and saw the Hairfin Anchovy right by its feet.

Food?

The seagull froze, not understanding why a fish would suddenly appear by its side. But Bi Fang’s guess was not wrong; the continued long journey had indeed left the seagull both tired and hungry. Seeing the food by its feet, it only glanced twice before leaning forward, pecked a bit, and grabbed the Hairfin Anchovy with its beak, ready to swallow it into its stomach.

Success!

Bi Fang was thrilled but still did not rush things. Instead, he watched the seagull swallow the entire fish, making sure the whole fish hook was ingested before lunging forward abruptly!

The evident movement alarmed the seagull instantaneously. Instinctively, it tried to spread its wings to flee, but the two were too close, and before it could take off, Bi Fang had already pounced, seizing its foot. The prepared fish hook was rendered unnecessary.

The suddenly captured seagull immediately attempted to fight back, fiercely pecking toward the large hand on its leg, but before it could land a blow, Bi Fang swung the bird up.

Under the massive centrifugal force, the seagull had no chance to strike again.

Bi Fang slammed it onto the wooden raft immediately and stepped on the seagull’s neck, forcefully twisting it to break it.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Amidst a slight bone-cracking sound, the bird was still performing reflexive movements but had completely lost any chance to struggle.

“Hoo!”

Looking at the seagull with its life fading, Bi Fang let out a breath, not expecting that after so many days surviving at sea and eating so much fish, he would be able to change the flavor.

He pulled out the dagger made of Obsidian and smiled.
