After Ye Yaopeng finished speaking, he immediately took several steps back, and Ye Yaodong and Ye Yaohua also stepped back.
I saw it move only slightly twice before, and I thought it was taking in less air and exhaling more, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful.
"Are you okay, bro?"
"It's okay, it's okay. It was just too unexpected. I was not prepared and almost fell. Fortunately, I was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket in winter, so it didn't hurt much."
"What's going on?" Mrs. Ye asked worriedly when she saw her man being whipped by King You.
"It's okay. It's not dead yet. Don't come over here."
The three of them stepped back a little, not standing too close, in case it was not completely dead and was still struggling.
Sure enough, just as they retreated a little distance, its tentacles began to move again, but the arc of the swing was not large. It could be said that it squirmed a few times, and did not rise high like it did when it hit Ye Yaopeng just now.
"It has injuries on its body. It will probably die soon. Let's wait until it dies before moving forward. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if it attacks before dying."
The kingfisher has ten tentacles. The ends of its two long predatory tentacles are swollen and have powerful suction cups with sharp teeth on the suction cup rings. The other eight tentacles also have suction cups with long sharp teeth, which make them powerful hunting tools.
This makes it difficult for prey to escape once caught, and the sharp, powerful beak dispatches helpless prey with terrifying efficiency.
Legend has it that the huge suction cups can tear apart small ships. Fortunately, this one was dying, otherwise they might not be able to capture it.
As soon as Ye Yaodong approached it, he saw that its body was covered with scars, with many suction cup-shaped wounds that were very similar to the shape of its tentacles.
Apart from sperm whales, the biggest natural enemy of giant dolphins is themselves.
This is live, undigested "ambergris"...
(Ambergris is excreted from the intestines of sperm whales.)
This was obviously not caused by himself, but by fighting with his own kind. It can be seen that King You’s "internal volume" is also very serious. This one obviously lost the fight, so he escaped half-dead.
The three of them slowly circled around it for quite a while, and it was obvious that its life force was weakening and slowly fading away, because it was no longer moving much.
"Can I go forward now?"
"Together."
Three people stood at three corners and slowly moved forward tentatively.
"It would be great if I had a stick in my hand to see whether it is alive or dead..." Ye Yaodong had just finished speaking when he saw the tentacle closest to him raised up. He was startled and thought it was going to hit him.
Big Brother Ye and Second Brother Ye were so shocked that they took two steps back.
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. Its tentacles raised up and then dropped down directly.
"Fuck, you scared me, are you kidding me?"
"It's still quite strong. It's still able to move after being stranded for so long."
"After all, it's so big, so it's normal for it to have strong vitality."
They waited for a while until it didn't move for a long time, then they stepped forward and gave it a couple of tentative kicks.
It just twisted a little when it was stimulated and then showed no reaction, so everyone felt relieved.
"It should be fine now. It's dead. Should we drag it ashore now?"
"Each of us grabs a tentacle and pulls it to see how heavy this big fish is."
"Let's see if we can pull it first. If not, ask the two sisters-in-law to come over and help."
"Try it first."
Ye Yaodong was wearing gloves and he did not take them off, so when he touched the tentacles, he did not feel the disgusting soft and sticky feeling.
The three of them each grabbed a tentacle and tried to pull it, but were unable to budge it.
"Wow, this one weighs more than 200 to 300 kilograms."
Ye Yaodong turned his head to take another look, then hung its long tentacles on his shoulders and said, "Pull together."
Seeing that each of them was holding a tentacle, Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Ye knew that the big kingfisher was dead and no longer in danger, so they immediately rolled up their trousers and went forward to help.
Lin Xiuqing knew that her situation was special and she did not dare to go up and cause trouble. Instead, she just stood there obediently. While she was waiting with her two sisters-in-law, they picked up a few big clams and put them in their pockets.
She also picked up a stranded black sea bream. She had just seen it and thought it wasn't far away, so it wouldn't be a waste of effort to go over and pick it up. She could just take it back and steam it in the evening.
There were actually a few stone crabs crawling around my feet, but unfortunately I didn't bring anything to catch them, so no one cared.
There is strength in numbers. Five people worked together, each dragging a tentacle, and slowly pulled the fish from the shallow water onto the beach.
Lin Xiuqing also saw this behemoth up close. "Oh my god, it's so big! Its tentacles are thicker than my thighs. It must weigh several hundred kilograms, right?"
Ye Yaodong said excitedly, "It should be around 300-400 kilograms. It's too heavy, and I don't dare to drag it. I'm a little worried that if I drag it for too long, its tentacles will be torn off. What should I do? Its value will be greatly reduced."
"Right, right, right. Don't pull the tentacles anymore. If you break a few of them, it will be a huge loss."
"What should we do? We have to get it to the shore, otherwise it will be even harder to get it when the tide comes in later."
"But I can't lift such a big one..."
"Or we can just call a tractor, have it drive here, and then everyone can work together to lift the big kingfisher onto the tractor? Just send it away directly?" Ye Yaodong suggested after thinking for a while.
It's just as well that fewer people know about it, so they can just send him away and keep a low profile. Otherwise, people in the village will start saying sour things about him, saying that he's going to become a millionaire or something.
Brother Ye nodded in agreement. "Sure, sure. We'll have to use a tractor to sell the goods once we get them to shore, so this will save us some trouble."
"Where can we sell it? Today is New Year's Day, and Acai won't accept any goods." When she said this, Ye Ersao became a little worried.
"Send it to Hongsheng, the hotel will definitely be open."
It’s a good deal to sell it to Hong Wenle. He should be happy to hear it. I told him a few days ago that I had good stuff to send to him, and now it’s here.
"Yes, yes, the Grand Hotel must be open for business."
"Then just call a tractor, and everyone can help move it up, and then send it away, so as to save a lot of effort." Ye Yaodong said.
Everyone agreed, so Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "Then you guys wait here. I'm free anyway, so I'll go help you call."
"You shouldn't go. You can't run. Walking slowly is a waste of time. Sister-in-law, can one of you help run the mile? That way it will be faster."
Seeing that Second Sister Ye was silent and looked reluctant to leave, Sister Ye volunteered, "I'll go. You guys wait here first. I'll be back soon."
"Sorry to bother you, sister-in-law."
"No trouble, it's my duty."
