Chapter 566 - 248: River Water Monster_4
"First, let’s secure the fish catch a bit. Now, while we have the opportunity, let me show you how the locals secure a big fish."
Sun Zheng briefly communicated with Tataro, and then Tataro took a bundle of ropes, nearly as thick as a pinky finger, from the toolbox on the boat.
These ropes were likely made through the same process as the thinner ropes previously seen, twisted from special plant fibers.
After being soaked in oil, they took on a slightly translucent amber color, giving the ropes a very sturdy and high-quality feel.
Tataro took the rope, brutally threaded the end through the catfish’s gills, then pulled it out from the mouth full of sharp teeth, quickly tied a knot, and securely bound the entire big catfish.
The knot was tightly tied, and perhaps it was tied too tightly, as the big catfish seemed to struggle momentarily but only thrashed symbolically a few times before calming down.
The long fight before getting out of the water had exhausted all of the Big Catfish’s energy.
Having secured the Big Catfish, Lin Yang and his team turned the boat around and headed back, arriving at the village camp even faster than when they had left, just before one o’clock at midnight.
There were no entertainment facilities in the jungle, and according to the local customs, one o’clock at midnight was exactly when everyone was deep in sleep.
