A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 168 The Killer Whale's Hunting Ground
What could Yunlin Hai do? He could only poke her forehead.

"When have you ever said that?"

Yun Jiao lowered her head, looking at her toes without saying a word.

"Wang Wang Wang..."

The two little puppies were quite protective of their owner. Even though their little noses were tiny, they stood in front of Yun Jiao and fiercely attacked Yun Lin Hai.

They didn't know that Yun Jiao had gone on an adventure; they only knew that the big person was scolding their little master.

Yun Linhai: ...Why do you make me sound like a bad guy?

He had no choice but to let Yun Jiao go and go see the swordfish.

The group of people over there were still looking at the swordfish from all angles.

Swordfish, though fierce and rare, are not considered top-tier food.

The price isn't expensive, but it's not cheap either.

It should be able to sell for about one yuan per kilogram now.

But with such a large size, it must weigh at least 80 or 90 pounds, so it can fetch a good price.

Place the drained swordfish into a large box filled with ice.

This thing was obtained from Awang by Yunlin Hai and Yunlin He.

There's no way around it; every time I go out to sea with Jiaojiao, we always manage to find some rare and precious seafood. Some seafood spoils easily if it's not frozen, which can devalue it, and worse, it can't be sold at all, and we can't even eat it.

And here it is, being used right now.

The ice was packed in a large box lined with an old cotton-padded coat. Even if it couldn't hold the whole fish, it would be enough to lower the temperature of the swordfish.

Otherwise, they would have to go back as soon as they came out.

"I wonder which sea area they've sent us to."

Their ship had been dragged forward quite a distance by the swordfish.

I don't know where I am now, so I'll just keep going and see what happens.

Today they brought two hand-thrown nets and a long rope.

Just as Yunlinhai and Yunlinhe were about to launch the long rope, Yunjiao's eyes suddenly lit up with surprise.

"Father, Uncle, don't lower the longline yet. Keep sailing that way. The orca pod is hunting."

"What?"

Both of them were a little confused. What did the orca pod hunting have to do with them?

At this point, why would you specifically go over to watch them hunt?

Yun Jiao looked at them with her clear and bright eyes.

"It's a school of fish; they've surrounded a large school of sardines."

This is information that Yun Jiao captured through the sounds emitted by the orca pod.

A school of sardines.

A group that can be called a school of fish is already quite large.

Upon hearing this, Yun Linhai and Yun Linhe, without saying a word, exerted all their strength to row the boat in the direction Yun Jiao pointed.

Soon, they will be able to see seabirds circling in the distant sky.

Yunlinhai and Yunlinhe were excited.

"With so many seabirds, this school of fish must be huge!"

Seabirds also eat fish. Flying high in the sky, they naturally gather wherever they see food.

Just by looking at the dense seabirds in the sky, you can tell that the school of fish must be quite large.

So he put even more effort into rowing the boat that way.

The orca pods clearly have extensive experience in coordinated hunting, surrounding a large school of sardines in a circle.

And they've already been eating for a while.

But the sardine population is still quite large.

They moved closer and, standing two or three hundred meters away, could see just how spectacular it was to see the schools of sardines being hunted churning on the surface of the sea.

"Hurry over."

Yun Jiao stood at the bow, calling out to the pod of killer whales. Shen Kuan and Shen Xiuyuan were completely stunned; this sea voyage was too exciting!

What is Jiaojiao doing?
The sound Yun Jiao made was somewhat similar to the call of an orca; most of these sounds are undetectable to the human ear.

But the orca responded to her.

"Come quickly, people, let's hunt!"

'So many prey! Come quick!'

The familiar pod of orcas warmly invited them to hunt together, not minding at all that they might steal their prey.

One orca even complained that their boat was going too slowly, so it slipped behind the wooden boat and used its head to push it forward.

Those who lost their footing on the boat fell due to inertia, and the unlucky Shen Xiuyuan rolled off the boat like a ball.

"Holy crap! Glug glug..."

Yun Jiao managed to get an orca to rescue him in time.

Shen Xiuyuan was riding on the back of an orca, his body stiff and afraid to move, his mind screaming.

Ahhhh, he rode a fish! He rode such a big fish!
Shen Kuan climbed up from the boat and was relieved to see that his younger brother who had fallen into the sea was alright, but he was still very unsettled.

What's going on with their little cousin?!

"What are you waiting for? Cast your net!"

Such a large school of fish is extremely rare.

Sardines are cheap, only one cent per pound.

But there were just too many fish.

With more quantity comes more weight, and with that comes more money.

One of them, Yunlin Hai and Yunlin He, threw a hand-thrown net towards the school of fish. They weren't completely overwhelmed by the fish and deliberately avoided the direction where the orcas were.

Soon, a net full of sardines weighing over 100 pounds was pulled over, and the veins on the arms of the two adults bulged as they pulled the net.

Yun Jiao ran over to help.

She was strong; once the net from Yunlinhai was pulled over, she went to help her father.

Yun Linhe shouted, "Shen Kuan, come and help!"

Shen Kuan pulled his stiff, dazed younger brother off the orca's back and onto the boat: "We're here."

"Quick, let's go help."

At that moment, they didn't have time to think too much. With only one thought in mind, they pulled in the net, put the fish into the hold, and continued casting and pulling in the net without even checking the fish inside.

Orcas surrounded a school of sardines, opening their huge mouths to eat them.

The commotion here is quite significant. Even if you can't see the sardines, nearby fishing boats can spot seabirds circling and gathering in the sky.

Experienced fishermen guessed that there was a school of fish, so they also sailed their boats over there.

The school of fish was indeed a school of fish, but seeing so many orcas, the fishing boats dared not get too close.

The feeling of being able to watch but not catch fish is incredibly frustrating.

This is no different from watching piles of money in front of you but not being able to pick them up.

"Look, isn't there a boat fishing over there?"

Some sharp-eyed individuals spotted the wooden boats fishing among the orcas and exclaimed in surprise.

The others looked over and it was true.

"Good heavens, who has such audacity?"

"Those orcas didn't seem to attack them."

The other fishing boats were envious. They didn't think much of it if no one dared to go over, but once a boat went over, the other fishing boats, who were already itching to go, wanted to take the risk.

"Let's go all out, scrape together some money, and go fishing too."

"With such a large school of sardines, even if we don't get close to the killer whales, we can still catch a lot by casting our nets near the shore."

Although it was the killer whales that were hunting, the sardines gathered in such large numbers that they attracted other predators in the ocean.

These fish take the risk of approaching and scavenging while orcas are feeding on sardines, which is easier than hunting on their own during normal times.
